The True Martial Holy Sect contains a wondrous place nad the Thunder-attracting Pool.
Legend has it that the pool was constructed during the era of the Divine Travel Great Emperor. When the Emperor was young, he once faced a formidable opponent.
He and the Divine Travel Great Emperor battled six tis, each claiming three victories and three defeats. This rival was revered as the Thunderbolt Venerable.
When the Thunderbolt Venerable was on the verge of breaking through from the peak of the Esteem Vein Realm to the Emperor Pulse Realm, he attracted thousands of thunderbolts to undergo tribulation.
The area where he underwent his tribulation was enveloped by a vast Thunder Sea, with Nine Skies Cloud Thunder, Purgatory Divine Thunder, and Imperial Heaven Capital Thunder—an assembly of thunderbolts that would make the bravest of hearts tremble—all converging together.
That day, thunderclaps echoed through the heart, as an aura of purple dawn approached. The thunderbolts, like a long river piercing the sun, hung inverted across a hundred miles of the sky.
The Thunderbolt Venerable erged from the Thunder Sea, with tens of thousands of divine thunders aiding him as if by divine decree. He ultimately realized the Emperor Pulse and henceforth achieved supremacy.
Later, after the Divine Travel Great Emperor took on his destiny, he personally reorganized that Thunder Sea.
The origin of the Thunder-attracting Pool stems from this event. One reason was to pay tribute to his old friend, and the other was to leave future generations with a place to refine their bodies.
...…
After Xu Zii arrived at the Thunder-attracting Pool, there were already many disciples cultivating there.
Boundless thunder filled the land, and as one looked into the distance, it seed as if they were standing in a world of purple and pale blue.
At the outermost edge of the Thunder-attracting Pool were strands of small electrical arcs. As one moved deeper inward, the thunder grew in size and its power gradually intensified.
It is said that at the very heart of the Thunder-attracting Pool resides the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, the divine thunder used by the Thunderbolt Venerable himself.
Thunderbolt body refinent is one of the most direct thods to strengthen the physique, but the thunder of the Thunder-attracting Pool is only effective for those at the Esteem Vein Realm and below. Once soone breaks through to the Emperor Pulse Realm, it becos useless.
Xu Zii stepped into the Thunder Sea. His body, having rged with the Prison-Suppressing Divine Body, was very strong.
The pale blue electrical arcs that hit his body felt no different than a tickle.
Moving further in, the thunder’s color deepened, and there was a faint numbing sensation on his skin.
Looking up, one could see pale blue thunderbolts transforming into a long dragon, weaving and roaring through the Thunder Sea.
Xu Zii took a deep breath; the Thunder-attracting Pool was divided into five distinct areas.
The first area contained mild electrical arcs, while the second area teed with ordinary thunder and lightning.
The third area contained a type of thunder known as Earthcore Townfla Thunder. As Xu Zii stepped into the third area, he could distinctly feel a tearing sensation on his body.
This thunder struck him, and his body’s cells alternated between being destroyed and enhanced.
There weren’t many disciples in the third area. Aside from a few individuals, the sea of deep blue was all that t Xu Zii’s eyes.
He had not walked far when he encountered a familiar face.
Gao Xiong, the youth from the Hundred Thousand Mountains, endowed with the bloodline of the Ancient Power Bear.
Currently, Gao Xiong stood in the most concentrated area of thunder in the third region. His muscles were bulging, hair standing on end, drenched in the Thunder Sea.
He looked up into the sky, allowing the thunder to crackle and boom upon him.
His expression was not one of enduring the pain of being torn by thunder, but rather one of enjoynt.
To him, the Thunder Sea was like a soothing spring breeze, seemingly posing no threat.
Indeed, the bloodline of the Ancient Power Bear was strong. As he grew, he could even contend with so of the last of the Hundred Great Battle Bodies.
At that mont, Gao Xiong also saw Xu Zii and expressed his surprise, "It’s you!"
After the trials for new disciples, he had specifically inquired about Xu Zii’s identity.
The son of Deputy Sect Master Xu Qingshan, he preferred not to offend him, yet he also did not wish to beco a fawning sycophant.

...
"Should we take a trip to the fourth zone for fun?" Xu Zii asked with a smile.
Gao Xiong looked at Xu Zii in surprise and quickly shook his head.
He had thought about venturing into the fourth zone when he was in the third zone without feeling any pressure.
But once he entered, he realized that the thunderbolts in there were completely different from those in the third zone.
It wasn’t a change in quantity, but a qualitative transformation.
...
Under Gao Xiong’s intense gaze, Xu Zii took steps towards the fourth zone.
Purple thunderbolts roared majestically, howling and shrieking hysterically, as if they intended to destroy the entire firmant.
Imperial Heaven Capital Thunder, that was the divine thunder of the fourth zone.
Thunderbolts turned from deep blue to purple, and as Xu Zii stepped in, he felt his body sink.
His muscles experienced a strong sense of tearing, as if he would be annihilated in this madness.
Xu Zii could feel this intense tearing and pain; he sat cross-legged, slowly circulating the cultivation technique within his body to heal himself.
Although the thunderbolts were painful, they were not lethal, but Xu Zii also knew that he could only stay here now.
However, Xu Zii was aware of his purpose for coming here; he was here to temper Tyrant Shadow, not to forge his body.
Only when the pain on his body had nearly numbed, and his body had gradually adapted to this assault, did Xu Zii stand up and move toward the fifth zone.
"Has this guy gone mad?" Gao Xiong, watching from behind, murmured to himself as his complexion slightly changed.
Xu Zii reached the border between the fourth and fifth zones. Instead of entering rashly, he enveloped Tyrant Shadow with the spiritual energy from the Six Domains.
Then, using the spiritual energy to drag Tyrant Shadow, he levitated it into the fifth zone while he sat on the edge of the fourth zone.
The thunderbolts in the fifth zone seed endless, with deep purple lightning covering the entire area.
He could even hear the roaring of so thunder dragons; the thunderbolts here had developed sentience.
Nine Skies Cloud Thunder, Purgatory Divine Thunder, Purple Gold Heaven Thunder, nurous legendary thunderbolts rged into one.
When the long-silent Thunder Sea was disturbed once again, the arrival of Tyrant Shadow was like a pebble on the surface of a lake.
First, it caused ripples, then ca the roaring waves, followed by a towering tsunami bellowing furiously.
Countless thunderbolts seed to find an outlet, all striking towards Tyrant Shadow.
The crackling explosions echoed within the thunderbolts, sparks flying, and divine might shining.
Amidst the thunderbolts slicing through, the blade of Tyrant Shadow began to tremble in midair.
Xu Zii’s gaze beca more focused; the spiritual energy within him from the Six Domains intensified, all channeled into Tyrant Shadow.
As ti inched forward, the trembling of Tyrant Shadow gradually stabilized, the blade seeming brighter and even taking on so of the deep purple hue from the thunderbolts.
Xu Zii took a deep breath and allowed Tyrant Shadow to continue tempering in the fifth zone, while he resud his own cultivation within the fourth zone.
...…
Thunderbolts churned wildly within the Thunder Sea until, by noon the next day, Xu Zii awoke from his cultivation.
Today was the day of the competition with Yan Buhui, and he planned to take Xiao Guizi to enjoy the festivities.
Looking at Tyrant Shadow still tempering above, Xu Zii reached out and called to it; Tyrant Shadow transford into a beam of extre light and flew over from above.
