Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153: Deconstruction And Reconstruction

A band of cultivators halted their journey through the forest when their leader—a middle-aged man with sharp eyes—raised his hand in a silent command. The group immediately stopped, their movements disciplined and synchronized.

"Boss, won’t we be late if we rest now?" one of the subordinates inquired, concern etching his features.

The leader didn’t respond verbally. Instead, he simply pointed upward toward the heavens. The disciples followed his gesture, their eyes widening as they took in the sight above.

"That’s..." the subordinate began, his voice trailing off in recognition.

"That’s right," the boss confirmed. "Someone is undergoing a tribulation here."

Excitement rippled through the group, their faces brightening with anticipation like predators sensing wounded prey. One of the more eager disciples stepped forward.

"Should we interfere?" he asked, barely concealing his eagerness.

The boss waved his hand dismissively. "No need. From the size of it, it’s probably just a Golden Core realm breakthrough. The ten of us are already at the Golden Core realm. There’s no reason to risk being struck by tribulation lightning just to interfere."

His eyes narrowed calculatingly before he continued, "Let’s just wait for them to breakthrough. Even if they succeed, could they possibly be a match for the ten of us?"

"As expected of the boss!" one disciple exclaimed, admiration thick in his voice.

The others quickly echoed the sentiment, creating a chorus of praise. "The boss is wise!" they chanted in unison, their voices blending together in reverent harmony.

A smug smile curled the boss’s lips as he surveyed the surrounding area. His careful assessment confirmed what he’d suspected—there wasn’t another soul in sight. This was certainly a lone cultivator without protection, attempting something as significant as a Golden Core breakthrough.

He thought to himself that such a daring individual must have acquired some valuable treasure or inheritance. The rumors he’d heard about an immortal treasure appearing in the eastern region flashed through his mind. If he could claim such a prize, he might finally break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

"Alright, everyone get to work," he commanded with authority. "Let’s set up camp. We might be here for a while, so we might as well use this time to rest."

His subordinates scattered to fulfill his orders, each moving with efficiency as they prepared for what promised to be a profitable hunt.

Li Yao concentrated on her core with unwavering focus, feeling the lightning energy accelerate as it circled with increasing momentum. Each lap built upon the previous one, creating a whirlwind of pure electrical force that spiraled through her cultivation base. She couldn’t help but marvel at the Empress’s brilliance—devising such an innovative method.

Gratitude washed over her as she recalled following the crucial instruction to avoid practicing her ice element. Had she ignored this advice, the frigid energy would have significantly slowed her lightning qi, preventing it from reaching the critical velocity needed for transformation.

The lightning’s pace intensified dramatically, nearly doubling with each passing second. Tremors rippled through her core, vibrating outward until her entire being shook with barely contained power. Electricity crackled visibly around her physical form, static charge lifting every strand of her hair until it stood perfectly upright, creating a corona of dark strands surrounding her concentrated expression.

[Don’t let your guard down yet, it’s time to start forging the core,] the Empress warned, immediately bringing Li Yao back to full alertness.

[Now that the core is inside the spiritual sea, you can finally start deconstructing and reconstructing your core,] the Empress continued, causing Li Yao to shiver at the choice of words.

[Since it’s in the spiritual sea, it won’t fall apart easily. You can start deconstructing a single part at a time, then reconstructing it with pure lightning energy. As long as you do that, you’ll be able to breakthrough to the golden core realm,] the Empress explained.

"Is it always like this?" Li Yao questioned, confusion evident in her voice. The cultivation manuals she’d studied had never mentioned such a complex procedure. This deconstruction and reconstruction sounded far more intricate than the traditional advancement methods. _{free\we,bnovel.c o(m)}

[Well, normally, the core would bathe in spiritual energy for a long time. It would then shed its skin and become a golden core after entering the spiritual sea,] the Empress clarified, [but since you want to form a special golden core, we have to do it this way. You need to manually reconstruct the golden core into a lightning core.]

Li Yao sighed deeply at this explanation, mentally preparing herself for the arduous task ahead. She consoled herself with the knowledge that once this reconstruction was complete, she would be halfway through the process. With renewed determination, she concentrated her energy on a tiny section of her core and began carefully breaking it apart...
