Shen Ao was very depressed and felt that today was an unlucky day for him.
He had finally reached the Foundation Establishment stage and was on his way to the Myriad Spirit Garden.
He had somehow suffered Qi Deviation and woken up with a terrible headache.
However, that was not the worst part since it did not really affect his cultivation. The problem was that he had heard some rumors in the Myriad Spirit Garden after going around talking with people.
There was a so-called Master Celestial in Myriad Spirit Garden that was very good at assessing ores. His name was Shen Aotian.
This Master Celestial only assessed ores for people who had fate with him. Nonetheless, he had incredible accuracy, and among the dozens of ores he picked, every one of them yielded high returns!
According to rumors, Master Celestial had even picked an ore that contained a supreme-grade Fairy Calabash Seed, which was ranked 36th in the Spiritual Wood List.
Many disciples and even elders in the Grand White Grotto-Heaven sought after such supreme-grade treasures were sought by many.
Shen Ao was tempted and decided to visit this so-called Master Celestial himself. He firmly believed that there was an unwavering fate between them since their names were so similar.
It would be nonsensical if they were not fated!
If Master Celestial could help him, he would not have to worry about choosing a gift for his master anymore.
Thus, he started asking people about Master Celestial and soon learned about the Celievers’ existence. In addition, he found out that the current Grand Elder of the Celievers was Sky Spirit Pavilion’s owner.
Shen Ao dressed and entered the Sky Spirit Pavilion. Unfortunately, the first person he encountered was Young Shopkeeper Song.
Shen Ao quickly revealed his identity and hoped Shopkeeper Song could introduce him to Master Celestial.
Young Shopkeeper Song asked him to wait in the guest room and served him a cup of tea.
After drinking that best-grade green tea from Bi Luo Peak, Shen Ao passed out again. When he woke up, Shen Ao realized he was tied to a cross.
It was a secluded chamber, and it looked very creepy and… familiar?
“This Sky Spirit Pavilion is a scam!” Shen Ao felt aggrieved. “Oh my. Why was I so careless!?”
I interacted with my thirteenth brother a few days ago, I should have been extra careful!
Sigh… I should have relieved Lee of his duties that day too.
Why was I so careless!?
…
Shen Tian, who had already reached his Lan Palace with Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao, sneezed.
He could finally relax for a moment. He did not have to worry about his crazy fans in the palace, nor whether his brother, Shen Ao, found out what he was doing.
A green halo was already hovering over Shen Tian’s head, so gone were the days filled with bad luck.
He finally had the confidence to focus on cultivation for some time.
In the dangerous cultivation world, power and providence were equally important.
Shen Tian decided to stay in the palace until he had enough power to beat his opponents. Although his halo’s color had changed, it was only green and not enough.
Shen Tian was aiming to reach the Golden Core stage with a dark-green halo minimum.
I need to be much greener!
“Oh, I received three cultivation techniques from that day!”
Shen Tian suddenly recalled the cultivation techniques Zhang Yunxi had passed to him. The Divine Firmament Drager Pendant had directly engraved the techniques into his Spiritual Power, so Shen Tian could recall them easily.
Decalamity was the forbidden chapter of the Lightning Imperial Sutra, and he could not learn it yet. Nonetheless, he could practice the other two without any problem.
The first one was a Qi Refinement cultivation technique, called Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique. Only the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s disciples were allowed to cultivate on this long-lost sutra.
The technique focused on matching the organs to the five elements and forming ten types of powerful Divine Lightning.
These were:
Azure Dragon I Divine Lightning (Wood)
Cosmos II Divine Lightning (Wood)
Crimson Phoenix III Divine Lightning (Fire)
Soaring Snake IV Divine Lightning (Fire)
Mighty Qilin V Divine Lightning (Earth)
Great Fortune VI Divine Lightning (Earth)
White Tiger VII Divine Lightning (Metal)
Heaven Emperor VIII Divine Lightning (Metal)
Black Tortoise IX Divine Lightning (Water)
Heaven Empress X Divine Lightning (Water)
The abovementioned lightnings carried enormous power within them. If a cultivator mastered just one of them, they could walk in the Eastern Wilderness, undefeated.
If one could master several of them, they would be a genius among their peers.
…
Among these 10 lightning arts, the odd numbers (I, III, V, VII, IX) were considered to have the character of Yang. If the cultivator mastered all five Yang-type lightnings, they could forge the pure Yang Five Elements Lightning.
As for the even numbers (II, IV, VI, VIII, X), they had the character of Yin. If the cultivator mastered all five Yin-type lightnings, they could forge the pure Yin Five Elements Lightning.
When one mastered all the ten Divine Lightnings and forged both pure Yin and Yang Five Elements Lightning, they could merge the two of them and obtain the legendary Yin-Yang Mixed Divine Lightning.
However, the Yin- and Yang-type lightnings by right should repel each other. Thus, training the other type of lightning after one type was completed usually led to backlash.
As such, it was almost impossible for the Yin-Yang Mixed Divine Lightning to be mastered.
Rumors had it that in the Lightning Imperial Sutra’s last forbidden chapter, Decalamity, there was a method to overcome this difficulty. That was the reason why the Mixed Divine Lightning could be mass-produced 10,000 years ago!
“Tsk, I did not expect this Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique to be so difficult,” complained Shen Tian.
He had to learn all the ten types of the Five Elements Divine Lightning and combine them slowly. This was too tedious, so Shen Tian lost interest.
Suddenly, he thought of something and took out his mirror. The golden lightning mark was still on his handsome face.
Shen Tian was very happy.
Seems like I have all the Five Elements Divine Lightning already!
Hehe, let me give it a try then!
Shen Tian took a deep breath and called in Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao to watch over him. He sat down and started cultivating the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique.
The order of which type of lightning was cultivated first varied individually.
Normally, males were considered Yang, so the Yang-type Five Elements Lighting would be better, and vice versa for females… Well, Zhang Yunxi was an outlier.
Some people were stronger with Metal, and some were stronger with Water, and so on…
Shen Tian calmed himself down and gathered a pile of Spirit Stones. He followed the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique and started cultivating.
Soon, he felt a pure Divinity flowing inside him.
Suddenly, his head felt numb while his stomach was in pain.
Something is coming out!
Shen Tian was shocked.
Why is it so fast?
