The liquid poured in again, sizzling and engulfing Wang Yao's scalding, peeled flesh, and stirring up steam once more. Wang Yao felt as if he were being gnawed by countless ants, every inch of his body aching and itching unbearably. His howls finally broke down into intermittent screams and whimpers.
This simmering process lasted even longer, as if countless centuries had passed. Wang Yao felt his entire body slowly melting away. His only thought was that it would be best if he could just die quickly, or at least be made to pass out for a while.
However, throughout the entire process, Wang Yao remained exceptionally clear-headed. He could feel how his bones separated from his muscles, how his fascia peeled away one by one, and how his bones were becoming soft and brittle.
He could even distinguish the different kinds of pain between roasting meat and roasting bones. The pain of roasting meat was a burning pain that would go numb if it got too intense, but the pain of roasting bones was a scorching pain that would not go numb. In fact, when the bones melted and the bone marrow was burned, the pain would suddenly intensify like lightning.
It was a terrifying pain that could drive a person instantly insane.
At this moment, Wang Yao couldn't help but deeply admire Teacher Luo, whom he had never met. He had no strength left to shout, so he could only silently endure it. Damn it, anyone who could still shout now was definitely a powerful immortal.
Gradually, Wang Yao found himself turned into a lump of flesh. What was most deadly was that this lump of flesh still retained consciousness. His body's various organs, bones and flesh, had become a chaotic mess, yet he could still clearly feel their state of being mixed together.
It was an extremely strange feeling; every bone fragment would cause every bit of flesh around it to twitch, and every particle of the heart could still beat at the same time, but with each beat, the whole mass of flesh would suffer excruciating pain.
Although they seem inseparable, they can still tell Wang Yao through their different pain that they still exist and remain vibrant.
Immediately afterwards, the temperature dropped rapidly.
The spiritual energy enveloped Wang Yao's gooey flesh and slowly moved it onto the human skin cover that had been peeled off earlier. With a "plop," the spiritual energy envelope tore open, and Wang Yao's gooey flesh poured out, "glug glug" into the human skin cover.
When the last drop of the meat paste inside the spiritual energy envelope was poured out, and Wang Yao's human skin cover was filled, the entire spiritual energy envelope suddenly sank downwards, enveloping the human skin cover.
The meat paste churned rapidly inside the human skin mask. Suddenly, a black particle stopped at the eye socket of the mask, followed immediately by more black particles moving closer.
Before long, the black particles combined to form a brand new jet-black pupil. Then, more particles of other colors joined in, and the whites of the eye and fascia around the pupil gradually appeared.
Soon an eye appeared in the empty eye socket of the human skin mask. Although there was still a lot of bright red flesh churning behind it, the eyeball was already able to move flexibly.
Wang Yao felt his internal organs, muscles, bones, and even the particles of his skin and eyebrows rapidly recombining within his body and quickly returning to their original positions. The human skin cover also gradually adhered to his body, becoming part of Wang Yao's body once again.
As each organ in the body becomes whole again, the body gradually recovers from the outside in, and the pain also gradually disappears from the outside in without the notice of it, until finally leaving a sharp, piercing pain at the heart, and then it is gone forever.
Damn it, it was a genuine casting after all! Wang Yao sighed deeply in his heart.
After an unknown amount of time, the spiritual energy envelope finally dissipated. Wang Yao stood there dumbfounded, unable to come to his senses for a long time. He felt as if he had truly died once, filled with an unbelievable sense of uncertainty about being reborn.
However, the vibrant life force emanating from his body did not lie to the immortals. After the pain disappeared, Wang Yao found that his condition was exceptionally good, far exceeding his previous feeling when he entered the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Just like that, I've reached the Golden Core stage?"
Wang Yao was suspicious. At this moment, he still couldn't quite believe it. Although the pain he had experienced before was incredibly real, it was over and done with. The Golden Core, however, was an extremely tempting goal. If he relied on the system to earn merit, who knew when that would be?
"Damn it, I've forgotten the pain as soon as the wound heals! I'm such a jerk!" Wang Yao chuckled self-deprecatingly, but then frowned. Although he had advanced to the Golden Core stage, what about his immortal techniques? Why weren't there any prompts for immortal techniques? Even if he became a Golden Core cultivator, without immortal techniques, wouldn't he still be clueless?
"Congratulations on advancing to Qi Refining. The Trial of Gods and Demons begins." A voice suddenly rang in Wang Yao's ears. Wang Yao was stunned and almost thought he had misheard. Damn it, I was already at Foundation Establishment. What does it mean to advance to Qi Refining?
Just as he was about to ask a question, the voice continued chanting without stopping.
"The Qi Refining stage trial of gods and demons: survive, prevent inferior demons from entering the divine realm and multiplying, endure for thirty days, the trial mission is completed, and the Qi Refining stage is fixed; otherwise, the trial fails."
Before Wang Yao could speak, he felt his feet slip and his body fall into an endless dark abyss. He was about to scream when he heard a "plop" and found himself in a lush forest.
When the forest breeze caressed Wang Yao's body like a gentle hand, he discovered a very serious problem: after being tempered, his body was completely naked, like a newborn baby, without a single piece of clothing, practically running around naked.
"What the hell?" Wang Yao looked around in astonishment, frantically searching for clothes to cover himself, but this was clearly the middle of nowhere, and there wasn't a single piece of cloth to be seen.
