366 Great Dao
Lin Xuan stopped and did not move forward. If he took a step forward, he might be able to break through his limit, but it was more likely that he would be seriously injured. Although he would not die from his endless life force, he would be directly sealed here by lightning and become stuck here forever.
It was not that this method was not desirable, but it was really unnecessary. Who knew when he would be able to come out once he entered? What Lin Xuan lacked the most was time, and what he lacked the least were resources and methods.
Lin Xuan sat down cross-legged and accepted the bouts of lightning, allowing his body and soul to advance to a more powerful level.
Three days later, the lightning here could no longer bring much improvement to Lin Xuan. The strengthening of his body had slowed down a lot. He had the intention to walk forward, but it seemed like another world too much for him to handle was just ahead. The strength of the lightning there was much stronger than where Lin Xuan was now.
After thinking about it, Lin Xuan decided to retreat. He could not give up his progress. If he wanted to use lightning to train his body efficiently, he might as well learn some lightning divine powers or spell techniques to improve his understanding of lightning first. It would be more beneficial for him to use and control lightning at a later time.
He came in fumbling, but he felt much better when he went out. He walked all the way back to the main gate and looked at Lin Xuan in surprise.
“Why are you looking at me with that expression? Did I take too long?”
The burly man shook his head in disdain and shouted loudly, “It wasn’t that long. Are you not good enough? Other body-tempering experts go in for four to five months. What’s the use of you going in for a month and ten days?”
Lin Xuan was speechless.
“Why are you shouting so loudly? Are you afraid that no one can hear you?”
If the burly man had been respectful and envious of Lin Xuan in the beginning, it was now full of disdain. He had thought that this young man was a prodigy, but he did not expect him to be someone who got in through connections.
What a waste of resources.
The burly man ignored Lin Xuan and went to tend to his own things.
Lin Xuan had no intention of explaining anything to him. He took out his watch and opened the Taixia official website for ability users. He began to search for relevant thunder body training methods. There were quite a lot of them.
[Thunder God Body (faith): Thor, the Thunder God from Eagle Country, not only needed lightning, but also universal faith, which could be used to balance the power of lightning.]
[Thunder God Body (mage): A battle mage from Western Europe named Kimiel used his mental strength to tame a violent spirit of lightning and stored it in his own sea of consciousness. He then used his mental strength to interfere with reality and strengthen his own body.]
[Thunder God Body (martial arts): Originating from the Martial Arts Hall of Taixia Country, its energy could contain thunder, and with the help of pure energy, it could weaken the violent power of thunderbolts. Combined with the Five Demons Fist, it could subdue the five demons with Thunderbolts and strengthen one’s body and soul.]
[Thunder God Body (scientific): Originated from the Academy of Science of Taixia Country. It controls the whole body and the bioelectricity in the human body. It gradually increases the voltage and bioelectricity, weakens the electrical resistance in the body, and creates a bio-magnetic field enshrouding the body. Finally, it can strengthen one’s body.]
…
Lin Xuan was speechless and confused!
It was ridiculous to think that he could create four or five techniques with the Thunder God tempering technique.
After browsing through them, Lin Xuan saw that their introductions were pretty simple, and he could not pick them immediately. Fortunately, he opened the spell library to pick other thunder spell techniques first.
Spell Technique — Thunder Palm was very suitable for him, as he liked close combat. It would be very comfortable to use.
Spell Technique — Three Thousand Lightning could work as well. Other than having great power, lightning could make him move quickly. If it was integrated into Lin Xuan’s combat system, he would possess the elegance of wind and the power of thunder.
Spell Technique — Thunder Seal was awesome. It could form a thunder seal on one’s body, absorb the lightning in the world, and then release it all at once. If given a certain opportunity, it could even transform into a thunder seal tattoo, permanently enhancing the effect of lightning.
There were, even more, spells that were available, and Lin Xuan did not reject any of them. He downloaded all of them to learn since he had not been spending contribution points. Of course, if he could not break through to earth-rank within three years, he would have to pay back one-tenth of his contribution points.
After memorizing all of these spells, Lin Xuan walked into the Thunder Valley. Wind and thunder followed him as he finally sat down cross-legged and carefully comprehended the various Thunder-type spells.
At Lin Xuan’s level, breaking through to the earth-rank was easy. However, the earth-rank was related to the future path, not just the sky-rank, but above the sky-rank. If it was divided according to the path of cultivation, the peak of the mystic-rank was equivalent to building a strong foundation, and breaking through to the earth-rank was to form the golden core.
In the path of cultivation, there was a saying that there must be no regret after the core was formed, and in the path of cultivation, there was no turning back after entering the earth-rank. One had to walk this path to the end!
Lin Xuan started to focus on improving his physique because of this. It was not just any energy! Essence, energy, and spirit were the three treasures of a human and the foundation of a human’s life. Spirit was exclusive to mages or those who specialized in mental power. Energy represents true energy and inner energy. Lin Xua used more of them in the path of energy, while essence represented the body and soul, which was the only advantage Lin Xuan had.
He was very ambitious and used the most basic physical body as the foundation of his cultivation.
Be it energy, devil marks, bloodlines, lightning, or cultivation techniques, they were all just tools for Lin Xuan to improve his physical body. He could give up everything else but his physical body!
With the path of the body completely settled, Lin Xuan was still a little worried about the gains and losses, but as long as he thought about the great achievements he would have in this path, he had no other thoughts.
The lightning spell technique evolved in Lin Xuan’s sea of consciousness. The power of the spell technique itself was not the most important thing. The most important thing was the Dao that was contained within the spel technique!
He was thinking of merging the three lightning techniques to create his own thunder technique!
