Time and again, thunderbolts descended from the heavens, each one striking with the force of a tempest. Within Ye Wushuang’s body, the Thunder Palaces roared to life, one after another, growing more vibrant with each strike.

As the thunderous power surged through Ye Wushuang’s flesh, he could distinctly feel his internal organs undergoing a profound transformation, in accordance with the circulation of the Sevenfold Sage Body Technique. If he had chosen a gentle path to cultivate this technique, it would have undoubtedly consumed an immense amount of time. But now, by embracing the most barbaric and fierce method of cultivation, he could significantly shorten the time required.

“Come on! Come on!” Ye Wushuang spread his arms wide and laughed heartily.

Rumble… rumble…

Thunderous roars erupted repeatedly. On the fourth day of his stay in the Heavenly Thunder Tower, Ye Wushuang stood atop a towering thunder mountain, a thousand zhangs high. His breath came in deep, steady gasps, and a radiant glow pulsed around him. At this moment, he seemed to have merged with the thunder itself. With a clenched fist, the sound of thunder rumbled faintly.

Now, even without invoking any spiritual incantations, Ye Wushuang could deliver a simple punch, powered by the thunder within his body, and easily defeat a foe at the first tribulation of the Delusion Realm. After all, in just two days, his internal Thunder Palaces had evolved from ten to twenty—a full doubling. This rapid transformation was a result of the intense pressure he had subjected himself to. If he had followed a more conventional path, absorbing the milder thunder, it would have taken him at least half a month, if not a whole month, to reach this point.

Moreover, the swift expansion of his Thunder Palaces was also thanks to the fusion of the Demon Spirit Thunder Stone and the absorption of the Heavenly Wood Fluid. The Demon Spirit Thunder Stone allowed Ye Wushuang to adapt to the domineering thunder within the Heavenly Thunder Tower, while the vitality stored in the Heavenly Wood Fluid enabled him to withstand the thunder’s destruction of his meridians and then repair them with the fluid. Destroyed and repaired over and over again, this process, though painful, made Ye Wushuang’s body and meridians stronger.

“Enough,” Ye Wushuang said with a faint smile as he clenched his fists. “With twenty Thunder Palaces and the enhanced level of thunder, I should be able to condense twenty Great Thunder Seals now!”

“After the twentyfold transformation, a Great Thunder Seal would be the equivalent of twenty thousand thunder seals combined. Just how formidable would that be?” With these thoughts, Ye Wushuang descended from the mountain peak.

The Heavenly Thunder Tower was truly a wondrous place. Not only had Ye Wushuang enhanced and condensed his Thunder Seals here on the first level, but he had also laid a solid foundation for the Sevenfold Sage Body Technique.

“According to Tian Qingyao, the second, third, and up to the seventh levels offer different levels of trials. It would be a pity not to try them out,” he mused.

Soon, Ye Wushuang left the first level and ascended to the second. Many of the Tianyuan Pavilion warriors were bewildered to see him leave.

“Is that the guy who climbed the thousand-zhang thunder mountain?”

“Who on earth is he?”

“No idea…”

“I heard he went to three of the nine thunder mountains and didn’t get struck dead?”

In this first level, the most ferocious thunder resided in nine thunder mountains, each three thousand zhangs high. For many years, only those at the摘星化境（Star-Picking Transformation Realm）level had dared to climb those mountains, and never had anyone from the Delusion Realm or the Cave Void Realm attempted it. Yet, this man in black had done it!

In no time, speculations about the identity of the black-clad man who had climbed the three-thousand-zhang thunder mountain stirred up quite a wave within the Tianyuan Pavilion. However, Ye Wushuang paid little attention to it.

Upon reaching the second level, Ye Wushuang immediately felt a wave of heat rushing towards him.

“This level is fire!” Ye Wushuang’s eyes held a faint smile. The Sevenfold Sage Body Technique required the body to endure the ravages of thunder, fire, wind, ice, electricity, external forces, and internal tempering to truly lay a solid foundation. Only then could one continuously use powerful external forces to strengthen the Sage Body and continuously condense body patterns. But once the foundation was laid and the first body pattern was formed, the technique would be considered to have entered a new stage.

As soon as he arrived at the second level, a terrifying wave of heat burst forth, with layers of fire surging out. The deeper one went, the more powerful and terrifying the fire became. According to Tian Qingyao’s previous explanation, there was a world of difference between going a hundred zhangs deep and a thousand zhangs deep.

Without hesitation, Ye Wushuang stepped into the fiery area and headed towards the depths where the fire was most intense.

In just one day, on the fifth day, Ye Wushuang left the second level and went to the third level…

The third level was filled with wind blades sweeping through.

The fourth level was a world of ice and cold.

The fifth level was filled with an electric grid.

On the eighth day, Ye Wushuang left the fifth level and headed towards the sixth level.

According to Tian Qingyao, the sixth level was for tempering a warrior’s physical body, while the seventh level was suitable for tempering a warrior’s spirit and will.

When Ye Wushuang arrived at the sixth level and entered it, he found himself in a square valley. As soon as he appeared there, the valley walls, with their four stone faces, immediately condensed into countless fists. These fists, in an instant, turned into a myriad of afterimages, rushing straight towards Ye Wushuang’s face.

At this moment, Ye Wushuang was shocked to find that from the ground beneath his feet, a gravitational pull hundreds of times stronger than normal was tugging at him, rendering him completely immobile.

Was he supposed to just take the beating passively?

Ye Wushuang was taken aback for a moment.
