Drawing with Lightning, Breaking Through Several Realms in Succession

Drawing with Lightning, Breaking Through Several Realms in Succession

"Junior Brother, was this Lightning Technique truly something you had just learned?"

Lu Xueqi glanced around at the fellow disciples still cultivating below, then asked Su Changqing, "Lightning Technique is an offensive Daoist Magic. How can it also help others cultivate and break through realms?"

"Everything in this world is a double-edged sword. My Lightning Technique can unleash its power to harm others, but it can also draw Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy into heavenly lightning, helping people cultivate and break through."

With that, Su Changqing pointed at Lu Xueqi's forehead. A streak of purple lightning shot directly into it. Lu Xueqi, whose face had been completely drained of color moments ago, felt the spiritual energy within her gradually fill under the effect of the Lightning Technique. The exhaustion in her body vanished along with it.

"Junior Brother, you truly fulfilled your grand ambition. Though you are but a firefly, you can still illuminate the world."

Lu Xueqi also let go of all thoughts of battle, her eyes shining as she looked at Su Changqing.

"Of course. Only with a righteous heart can one cultivate the great Dao of Heaven and Earth."

Su Changqing smiled at her as well.

At that very moment, countless spiritual energy vortices formed between Heaven and Earth and descended upon Su Changqing. Countless people opened their eyes and stared at the scene in astonishment.

His Cultivation Level at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Sixth Realm was laid bare before everyone.

"How is this possible?! Su Changqing isn't at the Foundation Establishment First Realm—he's a genuine Foundation Establishment Sixth Realm cultivator?"

"How long has he even cultivated the Dao? It hasn't even been a year, yet he has already reached the Foundation Establishment Sixth Realm. Is he even human?"

"So he had been an unrivaled genius from the very beginning, merely hiding his true abilities before us!"

"With Su Changqing bringing down lightning with a wave of his hand, he looks like the Heavenly Emperor himself. With talent like this, could he be some immortal deity descended into the world?!"

Some rejoiced, some envied him, and some were consumed with jealousy.

They rejoiced at witnessing the birth of an unparalleled genius. They envied and resented him because that person was not themselves. Yet after seeing Su Changqing's Lightning Technique, those unpleasant feelings gradually faded from their hearts.

"Break!"

Following Su Changqing's shout, countless arcs of purple lightning flashed around his body.

His Cultivation Level was redefined at that moment. He successfully stepped into the Foundation Establishment Seventh Realm, and it continued to rise rapidly.

Foundation Establishment Seventh Realm, peak Foundation Establishment Seventh Realm, Foundation Establishment Eighth Realm, peak Foundation Establishment Eighth Realm—it finally stopped after stabilizing at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Eighth Realm.

Countless Qingyun Sect disciples had gone numb. Even the Qingyun Sect Peak Lords were utterly astonished.

They had never seen cultivation like this before. He could no longer be called merely a genius; he was an unprecedented monster who appeared once in ten thousand years.

In only a few seconds, borrowing the descent of heavenly lightning, he broke through two major realms and several minor realms in succession. For an ordinary cultivator, just a single major realm could trap them for one year or even several years. Yet Su Changqing had traversed a path that took others years in only a few seconds.

"What a blessing! What a blessing! What a blessing that Su Changqing was brought back to Qingyun Sect and accepted into Shuiyue's discipleship! Otherwise, our Qingyun Sect would have missed an unparalleled genius not seen in ten thousand years."

Shang Zhengliang of Chaoyang Peak abruptly rose to his feet, staring at Su Changqing with dazzling light in his eyes as he muttered.

"With such talent and such a phenomenon, perhaps he may even be compared to our founding ancestor. Our Qingyun Sect will produce another peerless genius who astonishes the ages!"

Tian Yun of Luoxia Peak was equally shaken, his delight plain for all to see as he spoke to the others.

"Regret! I regret that I failed to recognize his worth. Had I known Su Changqing would display such brilliance, I should have accepted him as my disciple back then."

Zeng Shuchang of Fenghui Peak felt endless regret. Back then, he had greatly disdained both Su Changqing and Zhang Xiaofan. Yet he had never expected Su Changqing to create such a phenomenon today, nor that Zhang Xiaofan would quietly advance into the tournament's final four and prove his strength.

If he had accepted even one of those two, it would have been worth more than taking a hundred disciples.

It was not only Zeng Shuchang. The other Peak Lords shared the same thought. As the saying went, yesterday you took pride in being my disciple; today I take pride in having you as my disciple.

Among them, Shuiyue and Tian Buyi naturally felt somewhat better.

One had accepted Su Changqing as her disciple. Aside from Su Changqing himself, she, Shuiyue, was the second to bask in today's glory. The other had accepted Zhang Xiaofan, breaking Little Bamboo Peak's long-standing curse of never producing anyone exceptional.

Turning their gazes back to the sky, Su Changqing had already opened his eyes after cultivation, strange light flickering within them.

The others did not know, but he understood clearly. His breakthrough today was not only thanks to comprehending the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique. His long accumulation of cultivation had already caused the spiritual energy within his body to overflow, so he used the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique to refine that spiritual energy anew.

He had also used it to bring down Auspicious Lightning, creating the spectacle of more than a thousand people cultivating together.

"Senior Sister, shall we continue this match?"

Su Changqing quietly smiled and asked Lu Xueqi.

Just now, he had been focused on comprehension and breaking through. The martial contest had not yet reached its conclusion, and the two of them had still not determined a victor.

"Junior Brother, there is no need. I already used the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique, yet I could not touch you in the slightest. The outcome was decided long ago."

Lu Xueqi smiled gently.

The moment Su Changqing emerged from the thunderclouds, the victor had already become obvious.

"Then I shall humbly accept."

After modestly saying so, Su Changqing descended to the arena with Lu Xueqi. At that moment, the elder responsible for announcing the results also gave everyone the answer.

Naturally, Su Changqing won this match. Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaofan and Qi Hao's match had also concluded, with Qi Hao emerging victorious. The two would face each other in the final showdown.

The final battle for the champion of the Qingyun Sect's Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament was set for three days later.

That night, several Qingyun Sect Peak Lords gathered in the main hall at Dao Xuan's invitation.

"Everyone, you all witnessed today's battle. No one could help but rejoice at Su Changqing's dazzling performance. However, I must also tell you of a matter of utmost importance."

Dao Xuan Zhenren's expression was calm, betraying neither joy nor anger, as he slowly spoke to the group.

"Sect Leader Senior Brother, please explain in detail."

The others also sensed Dao Xuan's solemnity. Each of them became serious and waited to hear what important matter Dao Xuan Zhenren was about to reveal.

"Not long ago, all of you learned that the Demonic Cult had been operating a formation at Nine Yin Mountain. But rather than withdrawing, those people from the Demonic Cult have expanded their activities."

"I just received a letter from Yicai. He captured a Demonic Cult disciple and forced an earth-shattering revelation from him. It turns out that several hundred years ago, the Wanfu Ancient Cave was the main headquarters of a Demonic Cult faction called the Refining Blood Hall. Back then, the Refining Blood Hall was immensely powerful and stood as one of the Demonic Cult's five great factions. After being defeated by our righteous predecessors, it declined from that point onward, and the Wanfu Ancient Cave was abandoned."

"But now, they are already showing signs of rising again."
