Chapter 6: The Tempering of the Body by the Raging Wind, Thunder, and Fire (Part 1)

Now that Luo Fan had realized that his breakthrough opportunity lay in Mount Buzhou, the frustration in his heart instantly dissipated by a large margin.

He raised his head to look at Mount Buzhou, and the vast and indomitable aura that had been unconsciously ignored due to its long-term presence gradually reappeared in his perception. Compared to ordinary people who could not rediscover the usual things without a contrast, Luo Fan, as a congenital deity, had a more acute perception. As long as he paid attention, he could re-perceive that aura.

Perceiving the vast and indomitable aura, gradually, the frustration in his heart, caused by the bottleneck and the inability to break through, quickly dissipated, ultimately vanishing completely. Deep in his heart, only the resolve to never yield and never give up remained.

"Phew..."

Luo Fan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly. Two streams of white mist, as substantial as reality, rolled out of his nostrils, extending over a hundred meters before gradually dissipating.

When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was clear, with only a hint of the will to never yield and never give up occasionally shining through.

Mount Buzhou, the backbone of Pangu and the northwest pillar of heaven, stood between heaven and earth, its height and size reaching an indescribable level. Even from a distance of tens of billions of miles, it could still be seen. Over the past thirty thousand years, every time Luo Fan looked up to confirm his direction, he would see the northwest pillar, Mount Buzhou. Therefore, he was extremely familiar with its form.

Clearly, for something he was already so familiar with, no matter how much he observed or perceived, it would be difficult to gain new insights, let alone find the opportunity for his breakthrough.

Luo Fan hovered in the sky, ten thousand miles above the ground, staring at the distant Mount Buzhou, trying to immerse himself in the vast and indomitable aura it emitted. Naturally, he would not give up so easily, given that his heart was filled with the resolve to never yield and never give up.

Realizing that this angle was already too familiar and made it hard for him to gain any insights, he slowly raised his head, his gaze following the body of Mount Buzhou, slowly moving upward to seek its peak.

With Luo Fan's current vision, seeing through several layers of clouds was not a problem.

However, Mount Buzhou was simply too high. Even with his best vision, he could only see a segment of the mountain that seemed to have no bottom and no top, even through a hundred layers of clouds.

With a thought, he took a step forward, and the four auspicious clouds beneath his feet generated a tremendous force, propelling his body into a grayish-white light that broke through the layers of clouds, rushing upward.

How high was the sky of this primordial world? Even after being in this world for thirty thousand years, Luo Fan still did not know.

Although he traveled by flying in the sky, he had to pay attention to where the sources of chaotic primordial energy existed below, so he could not fly too far from the ground. Therefore, when he traveled, he usually stayed only ten thousand miles above the ground, which was still a long distance from the true sky.

Luo Fan ascended in the void as if stepping on invisible stairs, moving upward at an incredibly fast speed, his figure becoming faster and farther from the ground.

During this process, he broke through layer after layer of clouds, leaving a trail of holes as if they had been drilled through the layers of clouds.

After a while, his figure had already ascended to a height of ninety thousand miles above the ground.

At ninety thousand miles above the ground, Luo Fan had to stop his continuous upward ascent.

Because, above ninety thousand miles, it was no longer a smooth path. Here, there was an infinitely vast, blue sky that covered the entire primordial world, stretching across the sky, awe-inspiring!

That was the layer of raging wind, thunder, and fire above the sky of the primordial world, with an unknown number of layers and an unknown thickness!

Looking forward, although Mount Buzhou had shrunk several times, it still had not reached its peak, instead piercing into the layer of raging wind, thunder, and fire like a sharp sword!

"Still not at the top?" Luo Fan couldn't help but marvel.

The height of Mount Buzhou once again exceeded his expectations. Ninety thousand miles, considering that his current position was already ninety thousand miles above the ground!

The highest peak on Earth, Mount Everest, is only about 8,800 meters, or less than 3,000 zhang, which is less than 20 li. This is already a peak that is considered unscalable by ordinary people.

And this Mount Buzhou, even after flying up ninety thousand miles, still could not see its top. This comparison alone shows how inconceivable the height of Mount Buzhou is...

However, only such a height could serve as the northwest pillar of heaven!

Above was the infinitely vast blue sky, and below was the vast, white cloud layer. In between, a sense of freedom and transcendence, as if he were a celestial being, welled up in his heart.

"Since I have ascended, I must see the peak of Mount Buzhou!" Luo Fan made up his mind.

He raised his head to look at the layer of raging wind, thunder, and fire above, which appeared calm and deep blue, like a sky. His eyes were filled with determination.

With a thought, a mysterious energy from his mud pill palace surged throughout his body, covering every inch of his meridians. Then, the four auspicious clouds beneath his feet suddenly burst with a powerful force, lifting his body and propelling him into the layer of raging wind, thunder, and fire above.

His entry was like dropping a drop of water into boiling oil, instantly causing an extremely violent reaction in the layer of raging wind, thunder, and fire.

Countless yin thunder, yang thunder, yimu divine thunder, wutu divine thunder, and other types of heavenly and divine thunder struck his body fiercely.

Countless sanmei divine wind, heavenly wind, yin wind, ghost wind, and other types of evil wind attacked his body.

Countless heavenly fire, earth fire, stone fire, wood fire, and other types of divine fire burned his body!

In an instant, within a hundred-mile radius, the calm layer of raging wind, thunder, and fire became incredibly violent, with countless dormant energies being activated, unleashing terrifying destructive power!

Cold, heat, sourness, numbness, pain, itching...

Countless strange sensations, both describable and indescribable, came from all over his body.

His body, under the bombardment of countless types of thunder, in the midst of countless evil winds, and in the burning of countless divine fires, suffered endless damage, quickly becoming torn and charred!

"Such incredible power?!" Luo Fan was secretly shocked, and he tried his best to circulate the mysterious energy within his body according to the nameless cultivation technique he had comprehended.

As the energy circulated, his wounds rapidly healed, and countless new, tender flesh grew at the wound sites, repairing his body.

This newly grown flesh was even stronger than the old flesh!

However, soon, this newly grown flesh was again damaged by the surrounding various types of heavenly thunder, divine thunder, evil wind, and divine fire, again becoming torn and charred.

"Can it actually strengthen the body?!" Luo Fan felt no panic, but rather great joy.

Although the various strange sensations from all over his body were extremely difficult to endure, compared to the long-stagnant improvement in his physical body, those unbearable sensations were nothing!
