Using Lightning to Guide, Breaking Through Several Realms

Chapter 42: Using Lightning to Guide, Breaking Through Several Realms

"Junior Brother, did you just learn this lightning technique?"

Lu Xueqi glanced at the other disciples still practicing below and then asked Su Changqing, "Lightning techniques are offensive Daoist magic. How can they help someone cultivate and break through realms?"

"Everything in the world is a double-edged sword. My lightning technique can erupt with power to harm others, or it can draw in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy into the heavenly lightning, helping people cultivate and break through."

With that, Su Changqing pointed a finger at Lu Xueqi's forehead. A bolt of purple lightning shot directly at her. Lu Xueqi, who had been pale just moments before, felt the spiritual energy within her gradually become abundant under the effect of the lightning technique, and the fatigue in her body disappeared.

"Junior Brother, you have truly achieved your grand aspiration. You are like a firefly, yet you can illuminate the world."

Lu Xueqi put aside the thought of battle at this moment, looking at Su Changqing with bright eyes.

"Naturally. The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth can only be achieved by cultivating a righteous heart."

Su Changqing also smiled and said to her.

At that very moment, countless spiritual energy vortexes that had formed in the heavens and earth descended towards Su Changqing. Many people opened their eyes and watched this scene in astonishment.

His cultivation at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Sixth Realm was fully revealed to everyone.

"How can this be?! Su Changqing isn't in the First Realm of Foundation Establishment, but a genuine cultivator at the Sixth Realm?"

"How long has he been learning Dao? In less than a year, he's already reached the Sixth Realm of Foundation Establishment. Is he even human?"

"So, he was a renowned prodigy from the very beginning, and he was just hiding his strength from us!"

"Su Changqing's display of lightning descending upon the world, like the Heavenly Emperor, coupled with such talent, could he be an immortal or deity descended to the mortal realm?!"

Some were happy, some were envious, and some were filled with jealousy.

They were happy to witness the emergence of a supreme prodigy. They were envious and jealous that this person wasn't one of them. However, after Su Changqing's display of lightning techniques, everyone's negative feelings gradually dissipated.

"Break!"

As Su Changqing shouted, countless purple lightning bolts flashed around him.

His cultivation was redefined at this moment. He successfully entered the Seventh Realm of Foundation Establishment and was still rapidly ascending.

Seventh Realm of Foundation Establishment, peak of the Seventh Realm, Eighth Realm of Foundation Establishment, peak of the Eighth Realm, until he finally stopped and stabilized at the peak of the Eighth Realm.

Countless Qingyun Sect disciples were stunned. Even the Peak Lords of the Qingyun Sect were astonished.

They had never witnessed such cultivation before. He couldn't even be called a prodigy; he was a monstrous talent that appeared once in ten thousand years.

In just a few seconds, by borrowing the heavenly lightning, he broke through two major realms and several minor realms. Ordinary cultivators might be stuck on just one major realm for a year or even several years, yet Su Changqing traversed years of cultivation in mere seconds.

"What a stroke of luck! What a stroke of luck! It's fortunate that Su Changqing was brought back to our Qingyun Sect and taken in by Shui Yue. Otherwise, our Qingyun Sect would have missed out on an incredibly rare and peerless genius."

Shang Zhengliang of Chaoyang Peak suddenly stood up and said to Su Changqing with eyes full of wonder.

"With such talent and such an auspicious phenomenon, it's hard to say he might not be comparable to our Ancestor. Our Qingyun Sect will have another prodigy who will amaze all ages!"

Tian Yun Daoist of Luoxia Peak was also deeply shaken, speaking to everyone with visible joy.

"Regret! I regret not recognizing his potential back then. If I had known Su Changqing would achieve such brilliance today, I should have taken him as my disciple."

Zeng Shuchang of Fenghui Peak felt immense regret. He had looked down on both Su Changqing and Zhang Xiaofan back then, but he never expected Su Changqing to create such a phenomenon today. Even Zhang Xiaofan had unknowingly advanced to the top four of the martial arts tournament, proving his strength.

Taking either one of them as a disciple would have been more valuable than taking a hundred other disciples.

Not to mention Zeng Shuchang, the other Peak Lords had similar thoughts. As the saying goes, "Yesterday, it is an honor to have you as my disciple; today, I am honored to have you as my disciple."

Among them, Shui Yue and Tian Buyi were in a better position.

One had taken Su Changqing as her disciple, and today, besides Su Changqing's dazzling performance, she, as his Master Shui Yue, was second. The other had taken Zhang Xiaofan, breaking the long-standing curse of Little Bamboo Peak's inability to produce outstanding disciples.

Returning their gaze to the sky above, Su Changqing had opened his eyes from his cultivation, a strange light flickering within them.

Others might not know, but he understood clearly. Today's breakthrough was not only due to his comprehension of the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique but also because his accumulated cultivation had led to an overload of spiritual energy within him. He had used the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique to re-temper the spiritual energy within his body.

This also led to the descent of auspicious lightning, creating the spectacle of over a thousand people cultivating together.

"Senior Sister, will this match still continue?"

Su Changqing smiled subtly and asked Lu Xueqi.

He had been so focused on comprehending and breaking through realms that he hadn't concluded this match yet. The victor between them had yet to be decided.

"Junior Brother, there's no need. I've already used my Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique, yet I couldn't even touch you. The outcome has already been decided."

Lu Xueqi smiled charmingly.

She knew the winner as soon as Su Changqing emerged from the thunderclouds.

"Then, Junior Brother will not refuse your kind offer."

Su Changqing said humbly. He then descended to the arena with Lu Xueqi. The elder responsible for announcing the match results also gave everyone the answer at that moment.

Naturally, Su Changqing won the match. On the other side, the match between Zhang Xiaofan and Qi Hao also concluded, with Qi Hao emerging victorious. Both advanced to the final round.

The final match, concerning the championship of the Qingyun Sect's Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament, was scheduled for three days later.

As night fell, several Qingyun Sect Peak Lords were invited by Dao Xuan to gather in the main hall.

"Everyone, you all witnessed today's battle. No one is not delighted by Su Changqing's brilliant performance. However, I also have something of utmost importance to discuss with you all."

Dao Xuan Zhenren's expression was calm, revealing neither joy nor anger, as he slowly spoke to everyone.

"Sect Leader Senior Brother, please elaborate,"

The others also sensed Dao Xuan's solemnity and landed, adopting serious expressions as they waited to hear what important matter Dao Xuan Zhenren had to discuss.

"You are all aware of the Demonic Cult's operations at Nine Yin Mountain not long ago, but these Demonic Cult members did not cease their activities; instead, they have expanded them."

"I just received a letter from Yicai. He captured a Demonic Cult follower and, through interrogation, extracted earth-shattering news. It turns out that the 'Wanfu Ancient Cave' was the main hall of a Demonic Cult sect called 'Refining Blood Hall' hundreds of years ago. At that time, the Refining Blood Hall was immensely powerful, known as one of the five major powers of the Demonic Cult. After being defeated by our righteous path seniors, they fell into decline, and the 'Wanfu Ancient Cave' was abandoned."

"But now, they are showing signs of resurgence."
