Obviously, with a little thought, one can deduce that the path to Ascension is not easy to traverse.
Otherwise, in ancient times, only those who had already achieved True Person status would venture to explore the Beiming Youdu.
Now a group of people who are only in the Five Qi Towards Primordial Realm, not even Immortals yet, are heading to that place, intending to pass through the Two Realms’ channel.
No matter how you look at it, it’s a case of nine deaths and one life; no, it should be a result of a hundred deaths without life.
Even so, countless cultivators throughout history have stepped forward one after another for that elusive chance at immortality, gambling their lives away.
The word “Immortal” has indeed driven countless proud children of Heaven mad.
Perhaps the pursuit of immortality and eternal life is an obsession and instinct embedded in the essence of human beings.
“Fortunately, I have already achieved this goal that countless cultivators are pursuing without formally starting my cultivation.”
Upon thinking this, Lu Yuan’s previous sigh of emotion instantly turned into relief.
Not having to fight with Heaven for his fate or risk his life in adventures like others, how good it is!
After feeling slightly thrilled and relieved for a moment, Lu Yuan let go of these distracting thoughts and focused on studying the specific cultivation methods in the Five Thunder Book.
Unlike the Taiping Dao Book.
When cultivating according to the Taiping Dao Book, the goal is to gather strength from the masses, and the final product is an aura of Taiping, which is a naturally emperor-like energy.
On the other hand, when cultivating in the Five Thunder Book, the practitioner cultivates the Qi of Heavenly Thunder.
This Qi is formed from the combination of Immortal Spirit Qi and the might of celestial thunder and lightning.
“So, to cultivate this book, one needs to find an appropriate thunderstorm day, and then use the Immortal Spirit Qi to infect the might of thunder, attracting it into the body, refining it and turning it into Heavenly Thunder Power.”
Lu Yuan examined the cultivation tips within the Five Thunder Book, carefully studying the Qi Induction Art, Thunder Transformation Art, and Thunder Refining Art, gradually gaining insight.
Following the above three methods, a complete set of procedures can transform the Immortal Spirit Qi into the unique Heavenly Thunder Qi, cultivating the Heavenly Thunder Power, and naturally employing the Dao Law would have an additional layer of thunderbolt might.
Moreover, the Five Thunder Book also records a number of Five Thunder spells, some of which require little magical power to invoke.
For example, the Thunder Sound Art displayed by the elder Zhen Xuan.
If Lu Yuan were to cultivate the Heavenly Thunder Power, he could create Thunder Sound at will, terrifying people’s minds and destroying evil spirits and ghosts, making it a very practical and basic spell.
Alternatively, during thunderstorms, he could use the Lightning Attraction Technique to attract and direct lightning at specified targets.
He could even directly unleash the Heavenly Thunder Power, creating a palm-sized bolt of lightning to attack his enemies.
Aside from these, the Five Thunder Book contains over thirty other spells.
Among them are strong and weak, high and low.
For each of the Five Qi Towards Primordial Realm, there are five or six spells in each Qi Realm, which is sufficient for cultivators to utilize.
Apart from these spells, the Five Thunder Book also records the refining methods of three magical artifacts.
The first is the Five Thunder Seal, made by refining metallic materials of the Five Elements, then tempering by an immense celestial thunder for a thousand days. During this period, various lightning-attributed spiritual objects are added, and forty-nine prohibitions are inscribed to obtain this Upper Grade Magical Artifact.
The second is the Lightning Attraction Sword, made with a thousand-year-old Thunderwood as its core and tempered by heavenly lightning for a thousand days. Various corresponding lightning-attributed spiritual materials are also added, with thirty-six prohibitions inscribed, making it a Middle Grade Magical Artifact.
The third is the Wind Thunder Banner, weaved with spirit silk possessing both wind and thunder attributes and a rod made from one hundred years’ worth of lightning-attributed materials. With twenty-seven prohibitions inscribed, it becomes a Lower Grade Magical Artifact.
All three magical artifacts are infinitely powerful, and any cultivator who can refine one of them can dominate their peers at the same realm.
“However, it’s a pity that in this Age of Dharma Decline, spiritual materials are scarce, and I fear that not even one of these three artifacts can be refined. I can only read about them now.”
After reading the descriptions of the refining conditions for the three magical artifacts, Lu Yuan couldn’t help but shake his head and give up completely.
In this world nowadays, people can neither play with nor need magical artifacts.
Just possessing spells alone is enough to dominate the world.
After all, cultivators like Anqiu who had cultivated some magical power were already on par with Martial Arts Grandmasters. And if it were a cultivator like Zhen Xuan who had condensed one Qi, that would be equivalent to a Martial Arts Great Grandmaster.
With the decline of the Immortal Dao and the deterioration of Martial Arts, as long as Lu Yuan can cultivate magical power and combine it with his martial arts cultivation, he would be virtually invincible as long as he doesn’t encounter a being who has condensed a Qi.
If he can advance his Immortal Dao cultivation to the condensation of one Qi and his Martial Arts to the third realm of Great Grandmaster, then he would truly be unrivaled in the world, standing alone, and reaching the pinnacle of loneliness.
Therefore, compared to the elusive magical artifacts, it is more realistic to cultivate step by step, and gradually enhance one’s strength.
“According to the recent climate and astral positions, there should be a thunderstorm in seven days. Perhaps that would be the time to attempt the Qi Induction and Thunder Transformation, trying to cultivate this book.”
Lu Yuan calmed down, looked at the night sky, and calculated the time meticulously, deep in thought.
Having traveled with the army and battled for many years, he had a fair understanding of geography, climate, and astronomy.
Now being at the Inborn Major Success realm, his senses toward the changing climate within Heaven and Earth had become more acute.
With just a little calculation, he could deduce the fluctuations in the weather.
Having confirmed the occurrence of a thunderstorm in seven days, Lu Yuan nodded inwardly before regulating his breath slightly and then headed down the mountain.
Now that he had achieved Inborn Success, it would be difficult for him to make significant progress in martial arts within a short period of time.
And it is not yet the right time to cultivate the Five Thunder Book.
Lu Yuan, of course, would not choose to stay on the mountain and waste his time in the cold wind. There were still many things he needed to deal with himself.
