Boom!
In the sea of lightning filled with thunder and lightning, an extremely terrifying bolt of lightning, like a spear of thunder and lightning, tore through the sky.
Then, with a momentum that was almost world-destroying, it fiercely struck down.
Finally, it impacted the emaciated figure sitting cross-legged in mid-air!
Lightning surged and covered the sky.
Countless arcs of lightning, like angry, slender snakes, exploded outwards, the crackling sounds incessant and heart-wrenching.
However, even when facing such astonishing lightning strikes.
The emaciated figure showed no sign of moving.
His body was like a stubborn rock, tightly affixed to the void.
It seemed that no matter how immense the power, it could not shake him.
Wu Tian's body was still in a state of utter ruin.
But upon closer inspection, it was different from an ordinary corpse.
An ordinary corpse, after being destroyed, would only be left with withered death energy.
It would essentially have no relation to the concept of a living being.
But on Wu Tian's body, a faint spark of life was beating.
The arcs of lightning danced lightly on Wu Tian's surface, continuously drilling into his body through his pores.
And his originally jet-black long hair now shone with a golden light, filled with the splendor of lightning.
Wu Tian was now in a peculiar state.
He could clearly feel that his physical body was on the verge of collapse.
But relying on his astonishing willpower, he had managed to turn the tide, maintaining life and death within a certain extreme state.
And under this extreme maintenance, some very peculiar changes seemed to be quietly growing within him.
At this moment, if someone could see through Wu Tian's body, they would discover.
That in his blood vessels, lightning was actually flowing.
Not only that, but countless fine lightning threads were also connected, entwining every bone and muscle of his body.
It looked like a dense and magical network.
Every time heavenly lightning struck him, the lightning net would become brighter, and at the same time, more resilient…
Overall, Wu Tian was now undergoing some mutations under the continuous onslaught of lightning.
And as time passed, this mutation seemed to be quietly intensifying…
In the sky, the God of Thunder had been closely observing Wu Tian's condition.
Seeing that Wu Tian's condition had stabilized, he also let out a soft sigh of relief.
Then, his figure flickered, and he appeared behind Lei Qianjiao.
Lei Qianjiao had been nervously watching Wu Tian the entire time, afraid that something might happen to him.
Because she was so engrossed, she didn't even notice the God of Thunder's appearance.
"Hey, little girl, stop looking, he has stabilized."
The God of Thunder smiled faintly, then gently patted Lei Qianjiao's shoulder.
Lei Qianjiao yelped in fright, only then realizing the God of Thunder's presence.
She said somewhat tremblingly, "Lord God of Thunder, why, why are you here?"
The God of Thunder was slightly taken aback by Lei Qianjiao's reaction, then seemed to understand something and laughed aloud:
"What, worried about him?"
"Is there any special relationship between this little guy and you?"
Seeing the God of Thunder's smiling expression, Lei Qianjiao's pretty face immediately turned red, and she quickly shook her head to explain:
"No, no, no, Lord God of Thunder, you misunderstand, there's nothing between him and me."
"We… we are just ordinary friends."
"Is that so?" The God of Thunder was still smiling. "Since you say so, it seems I was overthinking it."
Despite saying that, the God of Thunder still looked at Lei Qianjiao with a smile.
And in his gaze, there was a subtle meaning.
Lei Qianjiao felt uncomfortable under his gaze, so she quickly changed the subject:
"No, Lord God of Thunder… do you… need me for something?"
The God of Thunder withdrew his gaze, then said with a smile, "Yes, of course, there's something."
"If there was nothing, why would I keep you here?"
"That little guy has gained quite a lot in the Thunder God Immortal Realm."
"And you, it seems you haven't gained much, have you?"
"As the Saintess of my Sacred Thunder Sect, how can I let you return empty-handed? So I must also bestow upon you a fortune."
"What?" Lei Qianjiao was stunned by the God of Thunder's words.
She couldn't help but become nervous and asked, "Lord God of Thunder, what do you mean by that?"
The God of Thunder smiled and said, "It means nothing, I just want to help you."
"A long time ago, in order to preserve the lineage, I sent several elite disciples of the sect to the outside world, hoping they would inherit the Sacred Thunder Sect."
"And now, seeing your existence, I understand that the Sacred Thunder Sect has indeed been passed down, which makes me very gratified."
"Even if the Sacred Thunder Sect is no longer what it once was, it's still good to leave some traces of its existence."
Although the God of Thunder's words sounded indifferent, they carried a sense of ancientness.
Lei Qianjiao suddenly realized.
Yes, a long time had passed since that ancient battle.
And for so many years, the God of Thunder had stayed alone in this Thunder God Immortal Realm, watching over the empty Sacred Thunder City.
Day after day, night after night, in the God of Thunder's heart, did he also feel nostalgia and loneliness?
Thinking of this, Lei Qianjiao's nose began to sting, and her eyes became a little red.
Her posture unconsciously straightened, and with a tone of pride and self-confidence, she said loudly, "Don't worry, Lord God of Thunder!"
"The Sacred Thunder Sect is developing very well now, ranking among the Eight Great Divine Sects, and we are still the top sect!"
Seeing Lei Qianjiao's sudden change, even the God of Thunder couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
He looked into Lei Qianjiao's eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Only after two seconds did a rich smile appear on his face, and he nodded, saying, "Good, good!"
"It seems that the seeds sown back then have now grown into a prairie fire, excellent, excellent."
Speaking of this, the more he looked at Lei Qianjiao, the more he liked her, so he continued:
"Little girl, from what I see, you are now ready to break through to True Immortal, aren't you?"
Lei Qianjiao nodded and said, "Yes."
"This experience in the Thunder God Immortal Realm has accumulated enough experience for me, and I feel that the time is almost right."
"So after leaving here, I will begin my closed-door cultivation to break through."
In response, the God of Thunder waved his hand with a smile and said, "Why wait to break through after going out? It's too troublesome."
"How about this, since Wu Tian still needs some time to come out, why don't you break through to True Immortal here?"
