Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 1015 - 619: Breakthrough

Three months later, in the Territory World, the Youthful Forever Spring.

This legendary structure had been renovated by Gongshu Ling, who added a thermal spring bathhouse on top of the original foundation. Although it wasn’t yet open to the public, the heroes within the territory could already enjoy its use, making it one of the few recreational facilities and employee benefits currently available.

Youthful Forever not only preserved one’s youth but also slowed down the depletion of one’s essence, Qi, and spirit, and even one’s bodily potential to a certain extent. Its effects were even greater than those of the Youthful Elixir, making it an exotic treasure that low-order cultivators coveted in their dreams.

It was the same for heroes; the exhaustion of vigor due to aging could impact a hero’s advancements, significantly increasing the probability of failure.

This wasn’t very evident for Xu Yang because the speed of his advancements was incredibly fast; his heroes could hardly reach the point of old age and decline before they would break through with him.

However, most lords didn’t have this kind of capital. It was normal for a corresponding rank to remain stagnant for decades or even centuries, with the heroes under their command likely to exhaust their energy or even die of old age.

Therefore, the Youthful Forever Spring had excellent sales at the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion, bringing in significant revenue every day. If not for its limited production, it could easily support a Second Order territory.

Although Xu Yang had no current need to slow down the exhaustion of vigor, he didn’t hesitate to distribute the spring as an employee benefit, and it was particularly beloved by the female heroes.

However, today, this employee benefit was temporarily closed off, forbidding anyone else’s use.

In the sealed-off women’s bath, Hua Mulan, having shed her armor and wearing only her undergarments, sat upright in the spring water, her eyes tightly shut and her eyelids trembling slightly. Her skin appeared slightly flushed from the steaming water, beads of sweat forming on her forehead, indicating some inner turmoil.

Before her in the spring, another figure sat in the same posture, his robust frame like a boulder dominating the water, contrasting with her feminine frailty. It was none other than Xu Yang.

It proved that the Heavenly Thunder Tempering, this type of cultivation technique, was not something that the average person could withstand.

Though Hua Mulan and Lv Qiling were epic heroes with physical qualities far surpassing ordinary people, they still struggled with the Thunderclap Primordial Power that Xu Yang channeled. They simply couldn’t use this power to achieve a breakthrough and ascend in their character rank or even their hero rank.

Fortunately, it was only a temporary setback. Xu Yang had a method to resolve this: to proceed step by step, adapting gradually until success was achieved.

The human body’s power of adaptation was extremely strong, and the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Great Skills had been revised and enhanced by him across several lifetimes, making them nearly perfect. As long as there was a gradual and orderly process, anyone could practice this technique.

For this reason, Xu Yang embarked on a three-month period of adaptive training for the two of them and moved the training location from Taiping Temple to the Youthful Forever Spring.

The Youthful Forever Spring had a certain healing effect itself. The spring also reduced the damage and irritation from the thunder and lightning to the human body to a certain extent, making it the perfect place for gradual cultivation.

It was just like when he had used electric eels to practice Heavenly Thunder Tempering at Dongting Lake, except now the roles had reversed. He had replaced the "electric eel," serving as the source of power for their cultivation.

Watching Hua Mulan with her eyes tightly closed, Xu Yang smiled and said to comfort her, "Don’t be nervous. Relax your body, collect your thoughts and focus, maintain the original mind."

Hearing Xu Yang’s words, Hua Mulan relaxed slightly, steadying her body in the warm, even scalding, spring water and waiting calmly for Xu Yang’s Thunderclap Primordial Power.

Seeing this, Xu Yang did not speak further but just stimulated his Mana.

"Crackle, crackle!"

Flashes of lightning and bouncing arcs of electricity manifested as Xu Yang intensified his Mana, and a surge of Thunderclap Primordial Power emerged in the water, violent, forceful, and intense, like an indomitable dragon.

Yet in Xu Yang’s hands, even the mightiest dragon had to bow; the thunder transformed into Primordial Power, dispersing into the spring, tempering her body, nourishing her flesh, penetrating her muscles and bones, and reaching deep into her soul to nurture her Primordial Spirit.

He personally lent his hand in aiding others to cultivate, a privilege enjoyed only by the top cultivators of the Wandao School, like Phoenix Song, in worlds with established academy systems such as the World of Dao and Law, the Divine Martial World, and even on Blue Star in the present time.

There was no way around it. Although the Wandao School advocated for rules and regulations, certain unavoidable disparities in rank and status still existed.

This, too, was a reflection of the impartiality of the regulations. Top-tier cultivators fulfilled their responsibilities and should, thus, enjoy corresponding privileges. Otherwise, how could justice be spoken of?

Certainly, in this world, Hua Mulan and Lv Qiling also qualified for such treatment. They were individuals who had risen with him from the beginning, greatly contributing to his cause, and thus deserving of rewards.

"Crackle, crackle!"

The Thunderclap Primordial Power, immersed in the water, entered her body.

Hua Mulan’s fine brows furrowed slightly with pain, but her breath remained steady. Her thin undergarment had soaked through, revealing the contours of her body and the color of her skin, blurred in the misty steam and water, with every glimpse heart-stirringly beautiful.

In the presence of such scenery, Xu Yang remained undisturbed, his eyes calm and without a ripple.

Though men are always young at heart until death, a True Immortal’s heart is solid as rock; how could he be disturbed by such a minor scene and lose his composure?

Of course, having seen too much was also a reason!

And so it went, for an unknown length of time...

"Hmm~!"

A low moan hummed through her nostrils.

Hua Mulan’s body jolted, releasing a brilliant light. Her skin turned translucent as if the Thunderclap Primordial Power moved like dragons and snakes across her body, enveloping her limbs and bones.

To this, Xu Yang was not surprised and simply continued to amplify the transfer of Mana.

With increased Mana, the thunder grew stronger. Amidst the dazzling brilliance, Hua Mulan’s body slowly rose above the surface of the water, eventually hanging in mid-air. Her disheveled hair unfurled, and her long locks fluttered, her body fully immersed in the thunder’s tempering.
