"Eh? I've seen this in the opening pages of many of the clan's ancient books, but at that time, I thought it was just a trick. Could it be that there was some secret hidden within?”
Indeed, this wasn't the first time Xiao Chen had heard this, but he had never really thought about the meaning behind it. He only thought that it was something that the spiritualists had created to deify the profession of spiritualism.
"How stupid! Of course, this greeting was not deliberately mystifying. It was just a description of the five divine-grade spirit channeling techniques that had appeared in the Netherworld Continent since the appearance of the Spirit Medium in ancient times.”
Elder Yun knocked Xiao Chen's head and continued to speak solemnly.
"The so-called divine-grade spirit connection is a grade that surpasses all other spirits. Moreover, the probability of it appearing is extremely rare. Every time it appears, it will be accompanied by a violent change in the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, resulting in a phenomenon. The appearance of the Nine Revolutions Thunder last night was a sign that the jade skeleton had broken free from its restraints and descended onto the earth.”
During the period of time that he had woken up, Xiao Chen had been shocked by the news that the old man had told him several times, but he didn't feel much at this point. Even if he said that he was the reincarnation of the gods of heaven and earth since the chaos, he wouldn't be surprised much.
"Then what else is there besides the jade skeleton?”
Unable to suppress the curiosity in his heart, Xiao Chen widened his eyes and asked Elder Yun.
"According to the order in the prayer, these five divine-grade spirits are drought charm, demon qilin, otherworldly demon, jade god, and hell phoenix. Dry evil spirit, evil unicorn born, thousands of miles of barren land, a drop of water can not survive; When the otherworldly demon appeared, its voice was extremely shrill, and everyone who heard it died on the spot. The Jade Deity and the Hell Phoenix had been reborn.”
As soon as Elder Yun finished speaking, Xiao Chen instantly discovered a problem. The "Jade" mentioned in the prayer was the "Jade God", not his current "Jade Skeleton". What was this?
Elder Yun seemed to have seen the doubt in Xiao Chen's eyes as he smiled faintly and continued.
"This Jade Deity is the most mysterious and strange of the five divine-grade spirit spirits because it is not a fixed spirit. It can be a jade skeleton, a jade spider, or even a jade bone dragon. The form it appears in is completely unpredictable.”
Speaking of this, Xiao Chen understood. To put it bluntly, the Jade God was like a super powerful attribute that randomly appeared among all the spirits. As long as one had this god-level attribute, they would be the Jade God among the five divine-grade spirits.
"But why did the Nine Spirit Stone show the most ordinary skull when I was testing my spirituality?”
Xiao Chen had always been brooding over this. Even though he now knew that his spirit was very likely to be a divine-grade jade skeleton, the various encounters he had had before were still deeply engraved in his heart.
" This is another mysterious aspect of the Jade God. As long as one doesn't infuse enough spiritual energy into it and accept the test of the phenomenon of heaven and earth, the Jade God won't reveal its true form. However, it's also for this reason that the Jade God appears far less often than the other four divine-grade spirits. The last recorded appearance of the Jade God was more than 1,300 years ago.”
Elder Yun paused for a moment.
"My dear disciple, the jade skeleton that appeared in your body has the ability to become abnormally powerful. Although it's useless to tell you about this ability now, how much you can use this ability depends on your own cultivation.”
At the end of his speech, Elder Yun had already revealed a stern expression. He had lived for a long time and had seen many geniuses. However, among those spiritualists with outstanding talents, many of them had abandoned their cultivation because they relied too much on their own talents. In the end, they were mediocre and lost to the masses. He did not want this disciple of his to follow in the footsteps of those so-called " geniuses."
"Teacher, I understand."
Xiao Chen's tender face revealed a determination that did not match his age. Although Elder Yun's expression did not change, he was still very comforted.
……
Hualala!
Early in the morning, a thin layer of white mist enveloped the valley. A breeze blew past, and the mist slowly drifted in the forest. The refreshing sound of a waterfall came from afar. Under the white waves, a handsome young man stood on a reef, silently enduring the impact of the flying waves.
This young man was Xiao Chen, who had received a full month of training from Elder Yun. He had originally had a somewhat weak temperament, but now he had become much stronger. Although he could not be said to have muscles all over his body, he was no longer considered weak.
Spiritual power was water, and the body was a container. If the container was not made solid first, it would be useless to pour more water into it. Therefore, Elder Yun first trained Xiao Chen's physical strength.
Standing on the reef like a tree stump, Xiao Chen gritted his teeth. His clothes were drenched by the waterfall. The impact of the water currents bent his body, but he always straightened his back at the most difficult moment.
On the shore of the pond, Elder Yun was sitting cross-legged on a huge rock. He looked at Xiao Chen, who was gritting his teeth and persevering, with a solemn expression. He casually wiped his palm on the ground and gently waved it.
With this casual wave, Xiao Chen suddenly heard a slight fluctuation in the air. Then, his right hand moved suddenly, as if he had arranged it beforehand, and firmly caught a stone seed that broke through the air. The stone seed still carried the fragrance of fresh soil.
"Not bad. Quickly cultivate your spiritual power!”
Seeing that Xiao Chen could easily catch the stone seed he shot at him, Elder Yun smiled and nodded. He began to let Xiao Chen carry out the next step of cultivation. He had to admit that he had really taken in a good disciple this time. Not only was his talent peerless, but he had not heard him complain at all during these days of tough training. It really made him sigh at Xiao Chen's determination.
"Alright, Teacher!"
Jumping down from the reef, Xiao Chen quickly swam to the shore. He didn't even wipe off the water droplets on his body and directly sat cross-legged on the grass. He began to mobilize the ling power in his dantian to circulate the Thunder Controlling Spirit Art. In a short while, the clothes on his body were dried by the heat generated by the circulation of ling power.
According to what Elder Yun said, even though this Thunder Controlling Spiritual Art wasn't considered a high grade Spiritual Art, it was extremely good for building the foundation. Adding on the fact that Xiao Chen had undergone the tempering of the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Lightning, cultivating the Thunder Controlling Spiritual Art would yield twice the result with half the effort, so there was no need to rush to change the cultivation art.
The clear pond water rippled gently. Traces of pure heaven and earth spiritual energy were attracted over, following the slightly opened pores on Xiao Chen's body, quietly entering his body, washing away the impurities in his muscles and blood vessels, continuously activating and strengthening his tired body, and finally flowing into his meridians, gradually being refined and absorbed.
As he continued to cultivate, the surrounding spiritual energy unknowingly surrounded Xiao Chen, forming a transparent cocoon made of spiritual energy.
At the same time as he absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the surface of Xiao Chen's body began to emit electric light. The electric light continued to gather and strengthen. Only the sound of "crackling" electric explosions could be heard. In the blink of an eye, electric snakes had already slithered around his body, mixing with the dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth, completely enveloping Xiao Chen's entire body.
In a hazy state, Xiao Chen felt a soft sound coming from his body. Immediately, the lightning and spiritual energy in his body circulated in a strange way. After a moment, the lightning and spiritual energy mixed into a ball and gathered above his head.
As if affected by the breakthrough in his cultivation technique, the lightning and spiritual energy gradually fused and finally turned into a translucent gray cumulus cloud. If one looked carefully, the cumulus cloud was still raining spiritual energy.
Boom!
The cumulus cloud suddenly flashed, followed by a clap of thunder that struck the tree beside it. The thick tree trunk was broken in an instant, and the rumble of thunder echoed in the valley.
Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes and clenched his fists tightly. His soft laughter contained a surprise that could not be concealed.
"I've finally reached the Lightning Cloud Gathering Realm!”
