Purple Lightning surged through the entire body, and the binding force that had held it vanished in an instant. Sun Zhe's soul was liberated at that moment, without a trace of hesitation or thought. Sun Zhe's soul rushed into the Heart Chamber of this body. Just as Sun Zhe's soul entered, countless memories immediately flooded into his consciousness.
“Ah ah ah ah ah…”
A piercing pain echoed in Sun Zhe's mind, an indescribable agony that gripped his heart. These memories belonged to the person who had just died; since he had only recently passed away, some fragmented memories had not yet completely dissipated and remained in his mind. When Sun Zhe's soul surged in, it was naturally drawn to them.
However, Sun Zhe's soul was also extremely weary. Having lingered in the storm for so long, although inherently much stronger than an ordinary person, he was now incredibly weak. At the moment when countless memories rushed in, Sun Zhe felt a fleeting impulse to collapse.
His consciousness gradually blurred, and the color of his soul became nearly transparent. Yet Sun Zhe gritted his teeth and held on fiercely. Although he did not understand why all this was happening, he knew this was an opportunity—an unprecedented opportunity! He believed that as long as he endured this trial, he would regain a human body, and at that time, anything would be possible.
Time slowly passed; day turned to night. It was unclear how long had gone by when the thunder and lightning in Mountain Valley finally dissipated. Birds and beasts returned, and everything seemed to revert to its original state.
In a ruin within the Graveyard, a young Black-Haired Young Man lay quietly on the ground, not knowing how long he had been there. A thick layer of dust had settled on him, and his breath was faint, as if he were already dead.
At that moment!
His tightly shut eyes suddenly opened wide. Initially filled with confusion, they gradually transformed into clarity. Then two terrifying beams of light shot out from his eyes; amidst the Purple Light, a ghostly glow flickered, exuding an almost soul-stirring aura that made one involuntarily shudder.
“I, Sun Zhe, am alive again…”
In those simple words were not only deep joy but also overwhelming excitement. After spending so long in the void of thunder and lightning, regaining a human body was a feeling that no one could truly understand. Unknowingly, two clear tears began to flow down his cheeks.
Pushing himself up with his right hand, Sun Zhe slowly stood up, casually brushing off the dust from his body and adjusting his tattered clothes. Such a simple action brought him a sense of nostalgia.
He did not rush to leave but instead took time to sort through the chaotic memories in his mind. In this unfamiliar place, Sun Zhe decided it was best to plan before acting.
According to memory, this world is called Thunder Continent, which is no longer the world he originally belonged to. Sun Zhe had long been mentally prepared for this, but he did not expect that Thunder Continent would be a place vastly different from his original world, where almost everything had changed.
Thunder Continent covers a vast area, with Eight States and Seventy-Six Counties, each county having an area of nearly a million miles. The Thunder Continent, encompassing Seventy-Six Counties, is unimaginably large; very few people can traverse the entire Thunder Continent, and the place he currently resides in is within Xuan County.
Moreover, this world highly values individual strength. Those with exceptional power are referred to as Cultivators on Kun Luo Continent. Most Cultivators in Thunder Continent practice Thunder Power, and thus are also known as Thunder Cultivators.
Cultivators possess immense strength; even seasoned soldiers are no match for the lowest-level Cultivators. High-level Cultivators can destroy mountains and rivers with a mere gesture. Strength determines status, which is why Cultivators hold a high position in Thunder Continent, and high-level Cultivators are entities that even powerful factions dare not offend easily.
"Thunder Cultivator..." His lips murmured slightly, and the tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed. A strange arc appeared at the corner of Sun Zhe's mouth.
It is quite a coincidence that the original owner of this body was also named Sun Zhe; their merging seems almost predestined.
This Sun Zhe was originally a young master of noble status, a member of an aristocratic family. However, after his family encountered misfortune, the young Sun Zhe's identity changed drastically. He was sold by human traffickers to Zhang Manor and became a slave doing menial work there for over ten years.
During these years, Sun Zhe lived a life worse than that of pigs or dogs; almost anyone could bully him, and anyone could beat or scold him at will. Sun Zhe had thought about escaping, but the slave mark on his forehead made it impossible for him to evade all of this. After numerous failed attempts to escape, he ultimately chose to give up and silently endure everything.
In fact, Sun Zhe had always harbored a fantasy in his heart: to become a high-ranking Cultivator. As long as he became a Cultivator, he could not only rid himself of his slave status but also undergo a tremendous change in identity and status. At that time, everything would no longer be a distant dream; even his desire to revive the entire Sun Clan would be within reach.
Not everyone can become a Cultivator; first and foremost, one needs exceptional qualifications. Only when one's qualifications reach a certain level can they harness Earth Power and establish themselves as the lowest-level Cultivator. It is only by meeting these basic requirements that one can further develop. Thus, although there are many people in Thunder Continent, very few can become Thunder Cultivators—at most one or two out of every hundred.
Becoming a Cultivator was originally Sun Zhe's only hope, but this time the entrance test for Xuan Lei Sect left him utterly despairing. His physique turned out to be one with blocked meridians—one of those least likely to become a Cultivator—causing the only pillar of support in his heart to collapse completely.
“Cultivator, cultivating Thunder Power…” Sun Zhe murmured softly, a strange glimmer flashing in his eyes.
He took a few slow steps forward, casually waving his limbs. Unbeknownst to him, his once slender body had become extremely robust. As he bent his arms, the sinewy muscles stood out, each one exuding a powerful aura. Moreover, a subtle purple glow emanated from his body, giving it an exceptionally mysterious appearance.
As the current owner of this body, Sun Zhe was naturally the most aware of its changes.
His original body was a bolt of lightning, and as his soul entered this body, that bolt did not dissipate into the ground but rather fused with the flesh in an extraordinarily peculiar manner, forming an unprecedented lightning body.
In other words, this body was no longer purely physical; it was also a bolt of lightning. Although most of the lightning's energy was contained within the flesh and could be summoned very little, there was no increase in pure strength. However, through the cleansing and fusion with lightning, his body had undergone a qualitative transformation at its core, representing a change that transcended countless levels.
The original Sun Zhe could not harness the power of lightning due to blocked meridians and thus could not become a Cultivator. But for the current Sun Zhe, this was no longer an issue because he was now inherently a lightning body. No one would find it easier to summon the power of lightning than him. If he could not become a Cultivator, then there were likely very few others in this world who could.
“Can this be considered turning misfortune into fortune?” With that thought, an unusual smile crept onto Sun Zhe's lips.
“Well then, since I have taken your flesh, I will inherit everything from you—your grudges and your dreams. I will fulfill them all. From now on, I am the new Sun Zhe!”
Looking up at the distant sky, a flicker of brilliance shone in Sun Zhe's eyes. The once bullied Sun Zhe was no longer the same; he had changed not only in character but also in Qualification, which had undergone a revolutionary transformation. Given time, he would undoubtedly become someone worthy of admiration.
