After a moment of hesitation, they nodded obediently; they thought Hao Ren was asking them to warm his bed.
Hao Ren put on his jacket and walked out of the room while Lu Linlin and Lu Lili followed him closely in their peach-colored pajamas.
Grandma was already soundly asleep.
The three of them walked out of the house and the residential area, going quite a distance along the beach.
The Lu sisters wore only pajamas, but their cultivation strength protected them from the chill.
They stopped in a place hundreds of meters away from the house. Looking at the distant shoreline in the darkness, Hao Ren exhaled deeply.
The Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll was a sword technique and also a lightning cultivation technique.
In the past, due to his weak cultivation strength, Hao Ren didn’t dare to summon lightning although he knew about the nature of the technique.
Now that he was on Zhen-level or the Core Formation Realm, he had left the beginners’ stage and was somewhat successful at cultivation.
With his current strength and being protected by Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, it wouldn’t be a very dangerous thing for him to summon the bolts of lightning to temper his body.
Swoosh! Swoosh… 80 sword energies shot out of his palm and formed a perfect circle around him.
The 80 sword energies shot up from the sand into the high sky before coming down and entering Hao Ren’s body through the Baihui Acupoint in the top of his head. The whole process was swift and clean.
Controlled by his mind, the sword energies were so sharp that they could cut through iron like butter. By turning the nature essence into sword energies, one could cut off an enemy’s head thousand of kilometers away.
In the mortals’ eyes, Hao Ren was already a sword god.
It was the realm in which the invisible sword was more powerful than the solid sword.
“Linlin, Lili, you stand outside of the circle. If the lightning goes beyond it, you make your move,” Hao Ren turned to instruct the sisters.
“Ok! Gongzi!” They answered in their fresh voices.
The night breeze blew on the sisters in their peach-colored pajamas, which was a beautiful sight on the beach that only Hao Ren could enjoy.
After the preparations, Hao Ren took a deep breath and condensed a hundun lightning in the center of his right palm.
Crackle! Crackle!
This hundun lightning was swallowing the five elemental essences from the surrounding.
Swoosh! The grey sword energy shot up like a rocket into the high sky.
Standing beside him, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili stared at Hao Ren in the center of the circle.
The cultivation process of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll was slow but steady while the cultivators used it to absorb the five elemental essences from nature. If the cultivators wanted to speed up the process of realm elevation, they must use the method of lightning cultivation, which tempers the body the increases the cultivation strength with bolts of heavenly lightning.
Taking thick five elemental essences from the lightning power was certainly highly efficient, but it was also risky.
That was why the cultivators must choose an open space and a clear night to cultivate this way.
The power of lightning was extremely harmful to ordinary cultivators. If there were other cultivators around, the bolts of heavenly lightning summoned from the sky could hurt them by accident.
It would be like sending a Heavenly Tribulation onto the ordinary cultivators. For those cultivators with weak cultivation strength, it would be a fatal blow.
The grey sword energy shot into the clouds. Instantly, a bright white beam of lightning followed the hundun sword energy and came down with it.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili concealed the fluctuations of their nature essence to avoid disturbing Hao Ren’s cultivation.
The white heavenly lightning struck toward Hao Ren!
Prepared, Hao Ren raised his hands and condensed a thicker cloud of grey sword energy, blocking the heavenly lightning with lightning power!
Boom!
The heavenly lightning hit the center of his palm. Hao Ren, whose body was now as hard as iron, was struck half a meter into the sand.
The fine sands were scattered outward like shattered debris from a shotgun.
Absorb! Hao Ren gritted his teeth and absorbed the power of the heavenly lightning through his pores.
After watching Zhao Kuo in the Heavenly Tribulation, he was convinced that he could absorb the power of lightning into his body. While Zhao Kuo had used his powerful nature essence to counter the power of the heavenly lightning, Hao Ren absorbed it by using the balanced five elemental powers of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll.
If one heavenly lightning were triggered, the other bolts of lightning resting in the clouds would pour out from the hole and follow the route of his nature essence one after another.
In Zhao Kuo’s Heavenly Tribulation, the bolts of lightning got stronger one after another until all the bolts of lightning stored in the tribulation clouds ran out.
The bolts of heavenly lightning Hao Ren activated were not as powerful as those in Zhao Kuo’s Heavenly Tribulation, but they were more than what an ordinary cultivator could bear.
Boom!
The second heavenly lightning followed the trace of smoke of the last lightning, crashing toward Hao Ren with flashes like a burning fuse.
Hao Ren put more nature essence into the circulation of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll.
Bang!
A big hole that was half a meter deep appeared in the place where Hao Ren stood. Fine sand grains flew outward once again.
If he had stood on a granite rock that was several meters thick, the rock would have cracked under the force of the lightning.
Before he could take a breath, the third heavenly lightning struck down.
The accumulative effect attracted lightning clouds from a distance, and the power of the bolts of lightning got stronger and stronger.
It showed the danger of the hundun lightning cultivation.
Crackle… The lightning flashed. Hao Ren’s sword energies couldn’t block the third heavenly lightning which tore his clothes into pieces.
However, when the third lightning entered his body, Hao Ren had a clear feeling that the nature essence in his body was fully activated while his dragon core had signs of waking up.
His entire body was full of strength.
If he released a hundun sword energy now, he could create a huge wave on the surface of the sea.
He felt extremely good. His body was like a half-empty battery that got fully charged.
The fourth heavenly lightning crashed down!
Boom!
Hao Ren’s hair stood up, and his body felt somewhat numb. The aggressive lightning power ran wild in his body, and the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll was not fast enough to absorb them immediately.
The dragon core was activated. With a cracking sound, a new opening appeared in it.
The acupoint absorbed all the lightning energy that entering his body.
Like a cow storing the grass in its stomach for rumination, the new opening in the dragon core put all the energy in it.
Seeing that the fifth heavenly lightning was about to crash down, Hao Ren gritted his teeth and was prepared to take one more.
He gestured at Lu Linlin and Lu Lili and told them that he would jump out of the circle to escape the sixth heavenly lightning and end today’s lightning cultivation.
Crackle… The fifth heavenly lightning was brewing in the high sky!
At this moment, the furious Oldman Zeng suddenly flew out of the sea.
“East Ocean Dragon Clan, wait and see!” He spat out the words forcefully before shooting into the sky while enveloped by a beam of light.
Crackle… Dozens of bolts of heavenly lightning in the clouds suddenly found their target. Like wolves pouncing on prey, they instantly surrounded the astonished Oldman Zeng.
Meanwhile, on the beach, Hao Ren waited for a long while for the powerful fifth heavenly lightning, but it never came.
More than ten kilometers away from him, Oldman Zeng plunged into the sea once again after being struck and turned black by the bolts of lightning accumulated from the surrounding areas.
