Chapter 116 Each Has Its Own Pros and Cons
The second level of Ni Sheng is immune to water and fire, and he is also superior to ordinary people in resisting attacks from thunder.

The dense electric currents were like chains tightly binding Cheng Zhen's whole body, but he was like an iron sculpture, standing still no matter how hard the thunder struck.

As he resisted longer and longer, the thunder in the Bagua Furnace Cave became stronger and stronger. The shining runes carved on the wall were untied, and one after another, lightning leaped out of the cage, locking onto a single target and attacking.

"boom--!"

Twelve silver thunder dragons surrounded Cheng Zhen. His body-protecting qi was on the verge of collapse, and every second of the trial was difficult.

Si Chong and Jiang Mo, who were standing above the furnace and watching, were silent, each thinking about their own things. Cheng Zhen's performance in the furnace was quite good. He was able to withstand the killing of twelve thunders, which was enough to prove that his foundation for rebirth was extremely solid.

However, this is just the beginning. In addition to increasing the strength of the body, the reverse life state also comes with a regenerative power that is as continuous as the tide.

Generally, attacks from external opponents need to go through the stages of 'breaking the Qi - attacking the body - preventing regeneration' before they have a chance to force the disciple who has cultivated the third level of reverse rebirth to exit the reverse rebirth state.

It is still the first level of reverse life. Perhaps the user did not build it firmly enough, and it is often shaken by brute force or skill.

However, at the second level, there is a world of difference. Unless the two enemies are as different as an adult and a baby, and you can directly attack the vital points of the imperfect Qi-transformed body, you will not be able to affect the operation of the reverse life state.

In today's Bagua Furnace Cave, considering the purpose of training the disciples to build a reverse life, the Qi thunder arranged by Jiang Mo has gradually increased its power. He adopts the first method to defeat them layer by layer, forcing the disciples' bodies to repeat the process of "destruction-rebirth-transformation" under the baptism of thunder, so as to build a more extreme second level of reverse life.

"boom!!!"

There was an abrupt change. Under the gaze of Si Chong and Jiang Mo, the lightning in the furnace suddenly increased, and eighteen silver dragons easily pierced through Cheng Zhen's protective qi.

“Zilalala!!!”

Nearly one-third of the body turned into Qi, and most of the important organs avoided damage from the thunder. The remaining two-thirds of the body was covered in blood in an instant, and was charred black. It was a horrible sight, and one could even see the exposed bones and tendons that were about to break.

Cheng Zhen's face turned pale, but his sanity was not overwhelmed by the severe pain. Instead, he used all his strength to activate the Reverse Life. The blue and white Qi was boiling, like a wild horse running free from its reins, unrestrained.

"Boom!!!"

His broken flesh seemed to be stitched together by an invisible hand, transforming into a new life, but he was injured by thunder again the next moment.

There is no doubt that this is a tug of war.

The number of lightning flashes that burst out from the furnace exceeded twenty. Cheng Zhen's Qi was consumed rapidly. Under the repair of Ni Sheng, he was struggling to hold on and was getting closer and closer to his limit.

The number of lightning-cast silver dragons was still increasing. The twenty-second lightning bolt swept over and hit Cheng Zhen's chest, making his flesh and blood a mess. It seemed that the balance was broken, and the blue and white Qi on the surface of the body suddenly dimmed.

The furnace roared, Cheng Zhen was gasping for breath, his hair was disheveled, and his multiple wounds were healing slower and slower, less than half of the previous speed.

At the same time, he clearly felt that his body, which had been washed by the Qi thunder, became tougher than before after the broken bones and tendons were repaired. Even his internal organs were undergoing subtle changes under the tempering of the thunder and the repair of reverse life.

Another flash of lightning emanated from the furnace cave, totaling twenty-three flashes, attacking in an alternating manner.

Cheng Zhen was covered in wounds, his vital energy was completely depleted, and he could no longer maintain his reverse life.

He decisively gathered his last bit of strength and leaped up from the furnace hole like an arrow shot from a bow.

"Boom!!!"

The Bagua Furnace Cave behind him lost its lock on its target, the lightning dissipated, and gradually calmed down.

Cheng Zhen was panting tiredly, looking exhausted.

His true energy was exhausted, his reverse life was released, his hair turned ink-black, his white shirt was torn to pieces, and there were some scars on his body, but nothing serious.

"Uncle Master, your furnace is exquisitely refined."

Cheng Zhen was so tired that he trembled when he spoke, and even though his limbs were twitching and paralyzed, the expression on his face was still wonderful and happy.

"How does it feel? It should be of some use, right?"

Jiang Mo couldn't help but wonder, all the killing moves of the Five Prefectures Treasure Land had no effect on him, but polishing the second level of Cheng Zhen would most likely be like sharpening a knife with a whetstone.

"Yes, but unfortunately I haven't reached the end of the second level yet, so it's hard for me to demonstrate the effect of this treasure land."

Cheng Zhen recovered a little, turned his head to look at Si Chong, sorted out his thoughts and said: "Uncle Master, your second level is still higher than that of my disciple, perhaps you can give it a try."

"Hey, you were holding on for so long just now. I was so nervous, afraid that something might happen to you."

Si Chong's words were full of praise. As an elder, seeing that the disciple with the highest cultivation level in the sect had already reached the same level as himself, why should he worry about the sect not being able to prosper?

After saying that, the little old man also started to use his profound skills. His Qi was strong and the reverse life state he constructed was slightly better than Cheng Zhen's in every aspect. Forty percent of his body turned into ethereal Qi and he was ready to enter the furnace cave to practice.

"Brother, are you healed?"

"Yeah." Si Chong smiled slightly, quite proudly: "Junior brother, don't underestimate me, I'm going to do it for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, his afterimage disappeared and he jumped into the furnace cave. Thunders poured down and the protective qi in his body was completely shattered in less than a moment.

Sixteen silver dragons rushed forward from all directions, bombarding the rushing body, but they could not catch up with the speed of repair and regeneration.

Soon, the number reached twenty-four. Black bloodstains began to appear on their old bodies, and lightning flashed, becoming even more ferocious.

"Boom!!!"

It was like being tempered in a furnace, gradually becoming unable to do so, coughing up blood at the corners of his mouth, and his true energy dissipating madly. Twenty-seven thunders were the limit, and if he continued to endure it, his body would surely be damaged and left with hidden diseases.

Taking this into consideration, Mo Yue held on for a dozen breaths, and before the new thunder broke free from the constraints of the runes, he retreated from the furnace cave.

Unlike Cheng Zhen who was exhausted, he still had some energy and strength. When the reverse life was released, all the injuries on his body were repaired. "It seems that I am also old and my body can't take it anymore."

Si Chong smiled brightly. He was extremely sure of the effect of tempering his rebirth in this Cang Lei treasure land. Looking around the world, there is no more suitable place.

There are four more treasures like this one!!!
In this way, the sect will have fundamental guarantees for regaining its glory and continuing its heritage.

"What are you talking about, brother?"

Jiang Mo pretended to be troubled and laughed, "You are still strong and healthy. I am still waiting for you to break through the third level and take me to see the beautiful mountains and rivers."

"You're such a fool, hahahaha!!!"

"Come on, Senior Brother, Cheng Zhen, I'll take you to visit the other four treasured places."

Jiang Mo turned around and walked towards the adjacent cave, allowing Si Chong and Cheng Zhen to appreciate the charm of the four treasures one after another.

"We'll have to let Jin'er, Shuiyun and the others come and try it some other day."

"That's exactly what I meant, brother."

Jiang Mo smiled calmly. He expected that these young people, with their full efforts, should be able to last for about sixteen thunders.

The next day.

After lunch, Si Chong and Cheng Zhen were still recovering from excessive consumption of Qi, so they stayed in the sect to meditate, read books, and supervise the practice of other disciples.

Jiang Mo took Shuiyun, Changqing, Lu Jin and Shengsheng up the mountain, explained to them the functions of the five treasured places, and let them enter different furnace caves in turn to practice and polish the construction of Ni Sheng.

Among them, Lu Jin happened to be assigned to the Cang Lei treasure land. After a period of training, his final limit was eighteen thunders.

"Uncle Master, when you created this treasure land, how many Qi thunders did you generate at its highest power?"

Lu Jin, who had just walked out of the furnace, had tattered clothes, a face covered in dust, and looked a little disheveled.

"It's exactly 100. Your Senior Brother Chengzhen has only reached 23, and Senior Uncle Si Chong has reached 27. You still have a big gap with them. You need to practice diligently and don't slack off."

Jiang Mo patiently explained to Lu Jin that he always had great expectations for this nephew who looked like his senior brother.

"one hundred?!"

Lu Jin didn't expect the furnace cave's limit to be so high, and was very surprised: "Is that what you prepared for yourself?"

Hearing this, Jiang Mo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How could you think like this, you idiot?"

"I am now in the third stage of reverse life, so the Qi thunder has little effect on me;"

"These are all left for you second-level disciples to practice. When you reach the end of the second level one day, those hundred thunderbolts will be the whetstone for you to advance to the third level."

"Thank you for your concern, uncle."

Lu Jin's brows relaxed, and he said softly, "I will follow Senior Brother Cheng Zhen and Senior Uncle Si Chong's example, practice diligently, aim for the third level of sword, and live up to your expectations."

Seeing his upright attitude, Jiang Mo smiled and said nothing. Instead, he changed the subject: "By the way, Jin'er, Master Uncle has something to trouble you with."

"Hmm? Go ahead." Lu Jin brushed off the dust on his body.

"I will write a letter later to buy some things overseas. I have prepared the gold and I think the reward is enough. Please give it to Mr. Lu for me and find a way to contact your third uncle."

"Okay, I'll get it done for you."

Lu Jin counted with his fingers and expected that his friend would arrive soon in the next two days, so he said, "Uncle Master, Senior Brother Zhang from the Tianshi Mansion may come tomorrow. Can I take him into this Canglei Treasure Land?"

Jiang Mo patted Lu Jin's shoulder and smiled: "Not to mention that he helped me before and killed the Quan Xing monster; as your good friend, you can treat him however you want."

"As for this precious land, if he wants to hone his golden light, it is harmless, let him use it as he pleases;"

"Also, the Tianshi Mansion doesn't have any healing methods like Reversing Life. Remember to remind your friends not to get hurt. That's not good."

"Okay, disciple thanks uncle-master." Lu Jin replied obediently.

"Let's go and see Changqing and the others."

Afterwards, Jiang Mo came to the other three treasure places. Shuiyun, Changqing and Shengsheng all stopped outside the furnace cave with their Qi exhausted. Beads of sweat the size of soybeans seeped down their foreheads, their bodies trembled slightly, and their faces were as pale as paper.

"Uncle Master."

"Uncle Master."

"You are here"

Jiang Mo looked at these weak disciples and instructed:
"Your reverse life has been broken."

"Remember to take a medicinal bath after you go out to nourish your body, relieve fatigue and soothe your mind. Then spend some time to check for deficiencies and figure out how to build it next time."

"Disciples will remember the teachings of Uncle Master." The three said in unison.

"Let's go back to the sect together."
