Night fell again, and the Celestial Masters' Mansion gradually fell silent.
Sun Xiaolu's snoring came from the next bed, even and long.
Chen Du did not sleep as usual. He sat cross-legged on the bed, his mind already immersed in the depths of his True Spirit.
During the day, he repeatedly contemplated the "Supreme Purple Divine Sky Five Thunders Slaying Evil Divine Mantra" in his sea of consciousness.
It is now late at night, a time for spiritual practice.
[You have begun practicing the "Supreme Purple Divine Sky Five Thunders Slaying Evil and Righteous Dharma Mantra"...]
[Divine Revelation Reading has been triggered. With your extraordinary comprehension, you decipher this technique, realizing its core lies in "Divine Firmament as the palace, Five Thunders as the blade." Divine Firmament is the source of Thunder Method, and Purple Palace is the foundation of Divine Firmament. The correct path is to store thunder in Purple Palace and control thunder with Divine Firmament.]
[You compare this incantation with the Golden Light Mantra Incantation. Golden Light is primarily defensive, while Divine Thunder is primarily offensive. One defends, the other attacks, like Yin and Yang complementing each other. Your understanding of this Thunder Method instantly deepens to another level.]
[First stage, opening the Thunder Palace in the Purple Palace: Using the method of inner observation, you open the Divine Firmament Thunder Palace in the Niwan Palace. Dao Resonance and true qi surge into it, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea. The Thunder Palace is initially formed, and purple lightning arises spontaneously.]
[The second level, Five Thunders Attend to the Call, involves you directing the five elements within your body to their origin, transforming them into five-colored thunderbolts: green thunder in the east, red thunder in the south, white thunder in the west, black thunder in the north, and yellow thunder in the center. The five thunderbolts appear simultaneously, like five thunder dragons flowing through your meridians.]
[The third level, Slaying Evil and Dispelling Demons: You circulate your Thunder Method; wherever the lightning passes, evil spirits have nowhere to hide. You visualize countless illusory evil spirits in your sea of consciousness, and the five thunderbolts strike them down, turning them all to ashes.]
[Fourth level, Divine Firmament Orthodox Method: You have used the Divine Firmament Thunder Palace as a foundation to bring the Five Thunders Orthodox Method to its full potential. The Thunder Method and the Golden Light Mantra are one internal and one external, one offensive and one defensive, complementing each other. You vaguely feel that when the two methods are used together, their power can be doubled.]
[In the final stage, the realm of perfection, you are no longer bound by the forms of the Five Thunders. With a wave of your hand, the Divine Thunder Palace resounds, and lightning moves as easily as your own arms and fingers. In the blink of an eye, you can summon, draw, transform, and conceal lightning. Purple lightning enters your palm, hidden and unleashed.]
Chen Du slowly opened his eyes and spread out his right hand.
In the palm of his hand, a tiny ball of purple lightning was slowly rotating, like a miniature ball of lightning, so quiet that it made no sound.
However, if anyone were to approach at this moment, they would discover that the power contained within that ball of lightning was enough to blast everything within a radius of hundreds of miles into dust.
He gently closed his five fingers, and the lightning disappeared into his palm.
He breathed a sigh of relief. That very night, he mastered a lost divine incantation to perfection.
If the immortals of the Celestial Masters' Mansion knew about this, I wonder what their expressions would be.
He blew out the oil lamp by his bedside and lay down fully clothed.
In the darkness, a few faint streaks of electricity still lingered on his fingertips, like the trail of a shooting star, disappearing silently.
Another month has passed.
Chen Du made his third move, choosing the "Cinnabar Glow Separate Courtyard" deep within the Celestial Masters' Mansion.
Cinnabar Glow Separate Courtyard is the place where the Celestial Masters' Mansion's Mansion has refined elixirs and cultivated spiritual herbs throughout the ages, and it has produced many miraculous elixirs that have caused a sensation throughout the world.
Although it is now mostly abandoned, with only a few outer disciples occasionally going there to tend to the medicinal fields, Chen Du could sense it as soon as he approached.
The soil here has a different atmosphere than other places; it has a faint medicinal fragrance.
For thousands of years, countless Celestial Masters and immortals have refined elixirs here. Although the furnace fires have been extinguished, the medicinal power, the fire's essence, the elixir's charm, and the spirituality have long since permeated every inch of this land.
That night, Chen Du once again activated his talent.
The aura of [Become a God on the Spot] spread from the soles of my feet, as if the entire courtyard had been infused with life.
A faint green light appeared in the abandoned herb garden, and wisps of fire rose from the broken alchemy furnace. Even the air seemed to be filled with the fragrance of countless herbs.
The Dao Resonance manifested this time was more profound and complex than the previous two.
Chen Du used the [The World as a Book] to gather it together, and a scroll of alchemical formulas slowly unfolded in his sea of consciousness.
This elixir is named "Dragon-Tiger True-Congealing Pill," a top-grade elixir formula.
Using the unique geological Dao Resonance of Longhu Mountain as a medicinal guide, the refined elixir is highly beneficial for improving cultivation at the Seventh Realm, the Union with the True Realm.
If placed in the outside world, even a single one would be enough to make countless old monsters fight tooth and nail for it.
Chen Du was overjoyed, and to his even greater surprise, the panel kept flashing:
[Divine Revelation Reading - Martial Arts Creation Experience Points +1]

[The effect of Become a Saint on the Spot is enhanced. Wherever there is a residual accumulation of power, you can transform the power left over from the past two thousand years into Power of Dao Resonance and manifest it! Furthermore, it can be transformed into the raw materials for everything in this world.]
[Current progress: Dao Resonance as a Book Lv1 (2/2) → Dao Resonance as a Book Lv2 (1/4)]
[The Dao Resonance as a Books; you can transform the manifested Dao Resonance into a profound and mysterious manual representing this world once every 25 days!]
Chen Du looked at the two lines of prompts, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
The Dao Resonance can be transformed into the raw material for everything in this world.
This means that whatever is needed for alchemy, he can directly condense it using Dao Resonance.
It's not just convenient, it's downright ingenious.
He immediately set to work, finding the most secluded old alchemy room, where Dao Resonance to condense several key spiritual ingredients and secretly refined them according to the formula.
As the night passed and the fire in the furnace went out, two round, golden pills appeared in the furnace, their bodies as black as amber, emitting a fragrant aroma.
Without hesitation, he swallowed one, feeling a surge of powerful energy rise from his abdomen and instantly spread throughout his body, as if he were being lifted up by a warm river.
His cultivation level rose steadily, pushing his Seventh Realm almost to the edge of perfection in one go.
He let out a long breath, feeling the Dao Resonance surging within his body, golden light and Thunder Method intertwining in his dantian, incredibly powerful.
For ten years, Chen Du lived a very patient life in the Celestial Masters' Mansion.
He was still that unassuming little Li Mo.
He spends his days sweeping the temple and copying scriptures, occasionally running errands for his fellow disciples, but no one gives him a second glance.
But every night, a very faint and indistinct figure would appear in various forbidden areas of the Celestial Masters' Mansion.
Like a cat wandering in the darkness, he awakened the Dao Resonance accumulated in this ancient Daoist ancestral temple, piece by piece.
Over the course of ten years, he traveled to the places within the Celestial Masters' Mansion where the power was most concentrated, obtaining many long-lost secret manuals and elixir formulas.
Let me tell you the secret.
He found the "Supreme-Clarity Cavern-Mystery Divine-Sky General Principle" beneath the underground palace of the oldest Three Pure Ones Hall in the Celestial Masters' Mansion.
This scripture is the source of the Thunder Method of Longhu Mountain, known as the general outline of all thunder magic. After mastering it, one can control Thunder Method under heaven, possessing boundless power.
Deep within the Demon-Subduing Hall, he found the "Northern Emperor Demon-Subduing Great Method".
This method was created specifically to suppress great demons. Its Dao Resonance still retains the fierce aura of past Celestial Masters ' bloody battles with demons, and its killing intent is extremely strong, making it a top-grade offensive technique.
In the Celestial Master Sword Mound, he found the "Dragon-Tiger Sword Dao True Explanation".
This scripture records a long-lost technique of using flying swords to slay evil, where one controls the sword with qi and merges with the sword with spirit, capable of taking the head of a demon.
On the Seven-Star Dao Platform, he found the "Seven-Star Heaven-Ruling Dipper-Stepping True Scripture".
This is a supreme Daoist manual on footwork and formations, involving stepping and treading the Big Dipper, drawing upon the power of the stars for one's own use, and possessing both offensive and defensive capabilities.
In the Cloud-Water Grotto-Heaven in the back mountain, he found the "Cloud-Water Heart-Cleansing Spirit-Refining Great Method".
This technique does not focus on killing, but it can refine the soul and purify inner demons, and has a miraculous effect on breakthroughs in Late Stage realms. It is the auxiliary divine skill that Chen Du values most.
Let's talk about the prescription.
Over the course of ten years, he also obtained several lost and top-grade pill formulas and secretly refined them one by one.
He obtained the "Supreme Clarity Golden Elixir Formula" under the altar in the Supreme Clarity Main Hall.
The refined Taiqing Golden Core can strengthen the True Essence of the Union with the True Realm and solidify the foundation of the Seventh Realm.
He obtained the "Dragon-Tiger Soul-Restoring Pill Formula" from Lord Lao's Furnace outside the forbidden area in the back mountain.
This elixir is most effective at repairing hidden injuries to the soul and spirit, and is of great use to the Primordial Spirit and those in the Union with the True Realm.
On the Beast-Sacrificing Altar in the Spirit Beast Garden, he obtained the "Spirit Embryo Bone-Transforming Pill Formula".
After consumption, it can accelerate the transformation of the physical body, making the physique more in line with the Dao Resonance.
In the incense burner of the Talisman Hall, he obtained the "Cinnabar Spirit-Communing Pill Formula".
This elixir, guided by the Dao Resonance cinnabar, can enhance one's understanding of talismans and incantations.
At the core of Longhu Mountain's earth veins, he obtained the "Earth Vein Essence-Congealing Pill Formula".
This elixir is refined using the spiritual energy of the earth's veins. After consumption, it allows one to resonate with the mountain's energy, resulting in extremely rapid improvement in cultivation.
Over the course of ten years, Chen Du used Dao Resonance to refine elixirs while diligently studying the secret manuals he had acquired.
His aura grew stronger and stronger, and his cultivation level had firmly reached the Peak Stage the Seventh Realm of Union with the True, even taking a half-step into the threshold of the Eighth Realm.
But he wasn't in a hurry!
