Chapter 667 - 269: Thunder Skill, Clansmen_2
Some are teachers at the front, while some are oxen and horses at the back.
[You see a broken Thunder Pattern, suddenly illuminating with Spiritual Light. Years of deducing Thunder Skill and failing to grasp it, your mind now feels like a surging spring, gushing forth once again.
You carefully observe this Thunder Pattern, then begin contacting your clone to understand the cultivation state of the Registered Disciples.
From the emanations of the Thunder Pattern, you identify the trend of thunder circulating within the body. You start to deduce it further, and during the deduction, you integrate the Five Elements of metal and fire, successfully triggering the Thunder Pattern.
Like naturally formed thunder, there is a path of post-natal evolution, where the entry of metal and fire into the body explodes with destructive power, tearing through the Celestial Vein and flesh.
Relying on the Thunder Pattern as verification, you begin searching for the node where metal and fire collide and merge to form thunder, failing repeatedly, experimenting numerous times.
Time passes unnoticed, and at the instant when the Source Power of both metal and fire attributes enter the body, a bit of thunderlight bursts forth among the sparks.
At this moment, you suddenly realize the deduction has taken 17,000 years.]
[Your deduction speed further accelerates, using the Cultivation Technique of both metal and fire attributes as the original text. You begin to fuse the two Cultivation Techniques.
With the previously discovered node of metal and fire collision deriving thunder, merging the two Cultivation Techniques now has a target, requiring only repeated trial-and-error.
Finally, after more than 1,300 additional years, your first Thunder Skill, "Great Wilderness Thunder Skill," is deduced.]
...
At the peak of a small mountain.
Lei Wanche sits cross-legged in cultivation, operating a Fire Element Technique that doesn’t suit him, while Desolate Eagle shrinks its head beside him, its eyes rolling, pondering something.
After a long time.
Lei Wanche finishes his cultivation.
"I previously created a Thunder Skill, and it is somewhat suited to your cultivation, but the power of the Thunder Skill is explosively endless, far more dangerous than your current cultivation. Do you want to cultivate it?"
"Thunder Skill?"
The thunder-fire aura on Lei Wanche’s body, not yet calmed from operating the Technique, becomes turbulent again.
There’s really a Thunder Skill!
"Teacher, is there really a Thunder Skill!"
Lei Wanche’s excitement is understandable. He has almost traversed Yongyi, searching through various Human Race texts, but has never heard of a Thunder Dao cultivation method.
Occasionally, a Martial Artist struck by lightning leaves some inkling, saying they became enlightened in cultivation after being struck.
Those unenlightened must have died from the strike, thus leaving no trace.
The clone does not say to test Lei Wanche before imparting the method; it’s hard to find anyone cultivating Thunder Skill in the Giant Mountain Range, north to south.
The newly deduced Technique requires actual cultivation to progress.
Excited, Lei Wanche quickly stands up and kneels before the clone, "Disciple wishes to cultivate, please teach me the Thunder Dao cultivation method!"
"Thunder Dao is the most intense and yang, annihilating all evil. If the qi in your chest doesn’t dissipate, even if I give you the Thunder Dao Technique, it will be hard to continue ascending on the path of cultivation."
Saying this, the clone touches Lei Wanche’s forehead, transmitting the "Great Wilderness Thunder Skill" into his mind.
Lei Wanche quietly kneels for a quarter of an hour before regaining consciousness.
"No wonder I searched all methods, only to find that Fire Element Technique was barely suitable."
Saying this, he bows once again to the clone.
"Thank you, teacher, for imparting the technique."
"Now, try cultivating."
"Yes."
Lei Wanche sits cross-legged, begins operating the cultivation of the Great Wilderness Thunder Skill, swiftly absorbing the fire, metal power from the surrounding Five Elements Source Power.
His body starts to violently tremble, lightning and flames intertwining.
He previously cultivated the Fire Element Technique for too long, leading to a fire element surplus within his body. Now, with the sudden presence of a Thunder Skill, it will take some time to transform the internal Fire Qi.
After half a day, Lei Wanche completes his cultivation, feeling unprecedentedly delightful, a sensation he never experienced before.
"Teacher."
Lei Wanche, after rising, kneels before the clone again.
"Rise."
The clone accepts the salute and lets Lei Wanche stand.
"I am the Grand Elder of Punishment. Would you be willing to join the Punishment Hall as a Great Punishment Envoy?"
"I am willing."
Lei Wanche agrees readily without hesitation.
...
To the east of the Blazing Flame Ancestral Temple, a place lined with branches of Spirit Tree.
Each Spirit Tree branch stands dozens of hundreds of yards high, forming a varied landscape, encircling a high platform in the center.
Each trunk, grown from the roots of the Old Spirit Tree, resembles a seat, occupied by a figure either sitting or standing.
Moreover, there are suspended Flying Ships and Flying Birds, and quite a number of people around.
Inside and outside, not less than thirty thousand people.
Some elders hold wine jars, watching from the suspended large Flying Ship at the back.
In the center surrounded by numerous trunks is a high platform forged with Tier Four Refined Iron.
At this moment, two people are battling on the platform.
"It’s troublesome, there are so few Xiaoyang in Yongyi, whoever goes first won’t be enough!"
"Even considering the Huantou Race, there’s no need for such unified commanders for now."
Various figures gaze at the figures trading blows on the platform, followed by a roar, as Yan Xiang transforms into a Fire Ape four zhang nine chi seven fen in size.
"Four zhang nine chi battle body, nearing the Divine Treasure Realm. I’m only three zhang eight chi. How can Yan Xiang be cultivating so quickly?"
"At this rate, when will my turn come to command troops?"
"You’re three zhang eight chi, I’m only three zhang six chi. Honestly, I don’t see any chance in the first meritorious promotion entry."
Seeing the Fire Ape Battle Body on the platform, many clan members around focus their attention.
According to the clan’s experience in cultivating War Bodies, a breakthrough to four zhang in the battle body requires advancement to the Divine Treasure Realm.
