“Oh, you’re alive! You’re alive!” Cecilia burst into joyful tears.
Jared wanted to give virtual-novel.net a pat on the back, but virtual-novel.net soon realized that virtual-novel.net couldn’t move his hand.
Dumbfounded, virtual-novel.net tried to sit up but his legs refused to move. He could only control his mind, and his body was beyond his control. Jared panicked instantly.
Carefully, virtual-novel.net began checking his body. To his surprise, virtual-novel.net discovered that the golden elixir in his body had turned into a golden figure. The little golden figure looked exactly like him!
Could this be Nascent Soul?
Jared got so excited that virtual-novel.net nearly yelled out loud.
Never in his wildest dreams did virtual-novel.net know virtual-novel.net would achieve Nascent Soul.
This is a blessing in disguise!
Jared couldn’t help but recall the final battle virtual-novel.net had with David.
It was David who crushed his elixir field and golden elixir!
Does one have to break one’s golden elixir in order to achieve Nascent Soul?
Without destroying the old, one cannot build the new, huh?
Finally, Jared found out why virtual-novel.net couldn’t achieve the next phase. He never thought of breaking his golden elixir, for it didn’t occur to virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net would have to do that to achieve the next phase!
Real knowledge came from constant practice. Thus, Jared had to figure out many things himself.
Cecilia was delighted to see Jared alive and well.
“Stop crying. Help me up!” Jared told her.
Cecilia was surprised to hear that. “Jared, you can’t get up. You have no choice but to lie here. Your bones have been crushed.”
Jared frowned.
No wonder I can’t control my own body. Turns out my bones are crushed.
Then what is the use of me achieving Nascent Soul?
Seeing his reaction, Cecilia immediately assured him, “Don’t worry. I’ll find you a doctor who can treat your condition. Even if you can’t recover, I’ll take care of you for the rest of your life.”
To say that Jared’s emotions right then were complicated was an understatement.
He could sense that Cecilia loved virtual-novel.net dearly, but virtual-novel.net dared not reciprocate virtual-novel.net feelings.
Josephine was still suffering, so virtual-novel.net had to save virtual-novel.net first.
By then, if Josephine could accept Cecilia, virtual-novel.net would allow himself to fall in love with the latter.
Suddenly, a dark cloud came over and covered the moon in the sky.
The gentle moonlight that was shining on Jared’s body disappeared instantly.
Crack!
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck Jared.
His skin and flesh were torn apart at once, and an unpleasant burnt smell wafted in the air.
“Jared!” Cecilia screamed in shock.
Jared had just come back to life, but the lightning struck virtual-novel.net dead.
Cecilia stepped forward, intending to bring virtual-novel.net into the room.
“Don’t move, and step back. This is the lightning tribulation!” Jared yelled at virtual-novel.net to remind virtual-novel.net to step back.
He knew that was lightning tribulation. It would come as virtual-novel.net had achieved Nascent Soul.
Right then, Jared wanted nothing more than the lightning tribulation to descend upon him.
After enduring the lightning tribulation, virtual-novel.net could rebuild his body and recover completely. He wouldn’t have to lie in bed and suffer after his bones were crushed. Besides, his body would definitely grow stronger after enduring the lightning tribulation!
“Lightning tribulation?” Cecilia was confused, for virtual-novel.net didn’t understand what that was.
Martial artists needn’t endure lightning tribulation when they progress to another stage, so it was perfectly normal that Cecilia had never heard of it.
Jared’s spiritual sense entered his body, and virtual-novel.net realized his Nascent Soul had also been struck by lightning.
Shortly after, the Nascent Soul in his body emitted a golden glow.
Jared’s body also started gleaming. Shortly after, a dangerous aura descended from heaven.
Crack!
