The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 3 Transformation Thunder Tribulation
"It's too far away, and the earth vein network is too damaged. Even if I wanted to repair it, I would be powerless. Forget it."

Shi Mo secretly shook his head, and then his invisible perception spread in other directions:

"Hmm, the earth veins in other directions are quite strong. Hey, this underground spiritual vein is so rich in earth vein spiritual energy! And in the distance, there are many strong underground main spiritual veins. Could it be that there are many continuous mountain ranges here?"

"There are so many underground main spiritual veins, which are not much worse than the underground spiritual veins of Jiuding Tiecha Mountain. It is worthy of being West Kunlun. Hmm? There are also many blocked ground veins. If they can be unblocked and connected to the spiritual energy of the entire West Kunlun ground veins, it would be a beautiful idea. However, I haven't transformed yet, so I am afraid I am powerless." Shi Mo, who was burning with anger, quickly calmed down.

"Let's connect some of the main spiritual veins around here first! With each additional main spiritual vein connected, the efficiency of the earth vein network in gathering earth vein spiritual energy will increase significantly. After all, a main spiritual vein represents an entire earth vein network!"

Next, with Shi Mo's efforts, dozens of the main spiritual veins in the surrounding area that could be sensed were connected one by one without him noticing.

As more and more main spiritual veins were connected, Shi Mo, whose perception was farther and clearer, gradually cleared the blockages in some of the main spiritual vein channels between different spiritual veins.
"It feels like my stone pillar itself is like a large tree, and the underground network of ley lines is like its roots."

The increasingly pure and rich earth spirit energy emanated from the stone pillars, and the spirit energy in the entire cave had transformed into moist energy vapor. Shi Mo, immersed in his cultivation, felt extremely comfortable.
"It's like soaking in an energy hot spring. Whose cultivation cave in the prehistoric world can compare to this one?"

However, this comfort did not last long, as Shi Mo was awakened by the sudden muffled thunder and a feeling of oppression.

"Huh? What's going on? Thunder? Could it be that my transformation thunder tribulation is coming? How should I resist it?" The inexperienced Shi Mo couldn't help but feel a little nervous and panicked.

At the same time, dark clouds gathered above Jiuding Tiecha Mountain, and the violent power of thunder turned into a dark purple vortex.

An invisible aura of majesty filled the air, frightening all the creatures that had gathered around the Nine Ding Tie Cha Mountain due to the dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but did not dare to go deep into the mountain. They all hurriedly moved away from the mountain.

Suddenly, a thick purple thunder struck down and landed on the main peak of Jiuding Tiecha Mountain, which was surrounded by nine steep peaks like stars surrounding the moon.

For a moment, as the violent power of thunder dissipated, the thick spiritual mist and fairy air covering the main peak dissipated and thinned, revealing the mountain with burn marks after the lightning strike, as well as the gravel pit at the top of the peak.

At the same time, the space in the cave seemed to be distorted. A dazzling beam of lightning struck down, and the stone pillar shook slightly. Cracks suddenly appeared on the smooth stone.
The long-lost tingling sensation made Shi Mo shudder. "This thunder tribulation can actually ignore the obstruction of the mountain? However, its power is not that great."

Boom. Immediately afterwards, another bolt of lightning appeared from the distorted space and fell down with a loud bang, causing the stone pillar to vibrate and more cracks on it became visible to the naked eye.

"The power of thunder is indeed better than the energy of the earth veins in tempering the body." Shi Mo was relatively calm as he felt the increased power of the thunder.

Just like that, after more than thirty thunder strikes, the thunder, whose power increased several times, finally shattered the stone pillar full of mottled cracks, revealing a figure with a human outline like a jade giant.

The thunder continued to roar with increasing power. Shi Mo's crystal-clear eyes flickered as he felt the changes within his body. He couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise and anticipation: "The power of thunder, giving birth to life amidst destruction, transcending the tribulation and transforming into a form, truly is a complete transformation."

Under the bombardment of thunder, Shi Mo's figure became clearer and clearer, with some debris falling from his body, as if he was being carved by thunder.

At the same time, Shi Mo's body was slowly shrinking, just like a block of iron being tempered into steel and the impurities being quenched. Before he knew it, he had taken on the form of a lifelike human.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, as the power of the lightning suddenly increased, the jade-like Shi Mo trembled all over, and faint purple lightning flowed through his body like sparks: "I can't bear it with just my jade body."

Before the next thunderbolt struck, Shi Mo, with a thought, had already mobilized the surging spiritual energy of the earth veins to protect the jade body.

"It's gotten stronger again! Even my jade-like body, which has been constantly tempered by the energy of the earth veins, can't withstand it. How could other prehistoric creatures possibly withstand such a thunder tribulation? Could it be that the power of different thunder tribulations is also different?" Shi Mo thought to himself:
"Then my thunder tribulation should be considered quite powerful, right? There are already over fifty thunders, nine is the maximum number, and ninety-nine eighty-one should be the most. I wonder how many more thunders my thunder tribulation will have?"

The power of the thunder continued to increase, and in a blink of an eye there were more than seventy thunders. Shi Mo finally had to use the Wind-Fixing Bead.

"It seems that my thunder tribulation will really have to last for ninety-nine and eighty-one times."

Shi Mo, who had activated the Wind-Fixing Orb to meet a thunderbolt, saw that the thunderbolt was easily dispersed without even unleashing its true power. He couldn't help but think:
"As expected of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, it's truly powerful! With this Wind-Fixing Pearl, this transformation thunder tribulation is a sure thing."

Soon, the eightieth thunder tribulation arrived. Although its power was much stronger, it was still blocked by the Wind-Fixing Bead.

Even the thunder was absorbed and refined by the Wind-Fixing Pearl, but the remaining thunder power still made Shi Mo feel numb and tingling all over when it fell on his body.

"My jade body is increasingly feeling like a real body."

The clear feeling of pain made Shi Mo excited. After traveling through the primitive wilderness for so long, he finally had a physical body and could leave here to travel in the primitive wilderness.

"Huh?" But then, after waiting for a while and not seeing the 81st thunderbolt fall, Shi Mo thought that the thunderbolt was over, suddenly there was a burst of lightning from above. A gorgeous pillar of lightning, which seemed to contain the mighty power of heaven, directly penetrated the main peak of Jiuding Tiecha Mountain and fell down. Shi Mo was so scared that he hurriedly used all his strength to activate the Wind-Fixing Bead to meet it.

With rumbling sounds, the violent force of thunder almost instantly filled the entire cave, but then everything in the cave seemed to freeze and stop.

After the power of thunder dissipated, Shi Mo's figure that appeared again was covered with tiny cracks, looking like porcelain that was about to shatter at any time, and there was still a faint trace of residual purple thunder power flowing in the cracks.

At the same time, surging earth spirit energy also surged out from under his feet and continuously flowed into Shi Mo's body. While expelling and wearing away the remaining thunder power in his body, it also repaired the cracks in his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.
