Xuanling Sect Causes a Sensation

The Thirty-Six Transformations are based on the Heavenly Dipper numbers!

The Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend transformations are based on the Earthly Dipper numbers!

The Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits Transformations are not merely arts of transformation; they encompass thirty-six divine abilities!

They are: Manipulating Creation, Inverting Yin and Yang, Shifting Stars and Changing Constellations, Restoring Heaven and Returning the Sun, Summoning Rain and Calling Wind, Shaking Mountains and Trembling Earth, Riding Mist and Ascending Clouds, Dredging Rivers to Form Land, Golden Light of Earthly Movement, Agitating Rivers and Stirring Seas, Turning Stone to Steel, The Great Escape of the Five Elements, The Marvelous Gates of Jia, Foreseeing the Future, Whipping Mountains and Moving Stones, Raising the Dead and Reviving the Living, Flying Bodies and Tracing Footprints, Nine Breaths of Vital Energy, Extracting Primordial Yang, Subduing Dragons and Taming Tigers, Mending Heaven and Bathing the Sun, Pushing Mountains and Filling Seas, Turning Stone to Gold, Standing Upright Without Shadow, Transforming Fetus and Changing Form, Size at Will, Flowers Blooming in an Instant, Wandering Spirit and Controlling Qi, Seeing Through Barriers, Returning Wind and Reversing Fire, Mastering the Five Thunders, Shrinking the Abyss and Contracting the Earth, Flying Sand and Scattering Stones, Carrying Mountains and Crossing Seas, Scattering Beans to Create Soldiers, and Seven Arrows of the Nail Head.

Each of these divine abilities is profound and vast. Truly mastering them would allow one to become an immortal!

Marshal Tian Peng from Journey to the West was a high-ranking official in the Heavenly Court who commanded a hundred thousand Heavenly soldiers and generals, a mighty figure among immortals!

However, after violating heavenly laws and being banished as a pig, his power greatly diminished. At least, Qin Jun himself didn't believe that the Pigsy from Journey to the West had the ability to command a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals. Any random monster could have easily captured him. In Qin Jun's opinion, either he was hiding his strength, or his power was greatly reduced after transforming into a pig.

Fortunately, the System drew the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits Transformations of Marshal Tian Peng. If it had been Pig Wuneng's, Qin Jun would have cried himself to death.

Rumble—

Under the night sky, thunderclouds gathered above the Xuanling Sect. Lightning, like dragons and pythons, pierced through the clouds and struck downwards, startling all the disciples awake and causing them to cease their cultivation.

Inside a palace in the Xuanling Sect, Chang Qianqian, who was recounting her experiences outside to her father, jumped up in fright. Even Chang Hao trembled all over.

The thunderous roar just now was too terrifying!

"What's going on?"

Chang Qianqian's father, Chang Tianyou, stood up abruptly. Although his white robe didn't make him look burly, he exuded a steady aura like Mount Tai. Streaks of white were subtly mixed in his hair bun, adding to his mature charm.

"Why is there sudden thunder?" Chang Hao asked with a frown. The Xuanling Sect was protected by formations, and it hadn't experienced lightning strikes in decades.

Unless someone was undergoing tribulation within the Xuanling Sect!

What is undergoing tribulation?

Qi Cultivation is an act against the heavens. The Heavenly Dao unleashes heavenly tribulations when cultivators break through, attempting to stop them. Once they survive, the Heavenly Dao will implicitly acknowledge the cultivator. And since the Golden Core Realm, every major breakthrough in cultivation realm will trigger a heavenly tribulation!

There are fewer than ten Golden Core Realm experts in the Xuanling Sect.

Could it be that another core disciple is breaking through to the Golden Core Realm?

Chang Tianyou became excited. He quickly walked towards the hall entrance, with Chang Qianqian and Chang Hao following closely behind.

It wasn't just them; all the disciples in the sect were speculating the same thing.

"Someone is breaking through to the Golden Core Realm!"

"Who is it? Senior Sister Zhong or Senior Brother Zhuo?"

"It should be Zhuo Junjie!"

"Senior Brother Zhuo has been stuck at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm for more than a year or two. It seems he's going to break through in one go this time!"

"Good heavens, this heavenly tribulation is even more terrifying than when Elder Li broke through decades ago!"

The thunderclouds hovering over the Xuanling Sect churned incessantly, with streaks of terrifying lightning flashing. An aura of world-ending destruction spread downwards, instilling fear in all the Xuanling Sect disciples.

In the face of such a heavenly tribulation, the Xuanling Sect seemed like it could be annihilated at any moment.

"Quick, have someone activate the formation!"

Chang Tianyou shouted with a shocked expression. The elders who emerged from the nearby pavilion quickly flew towards the mountaintop.

Qin Jun was unaware that the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits Transformations he had drawn had thrown the entire Xuanling Sect into chaos. However, fortunately, the Xuanling Sect's formation would help him block the heavenly tribulation!

Divine abilities are different from cultivation techniques or spells. Since they have the word "divine" in them, one can imagine how powerful they are. The Heavenly Dao does not allow them to grow easily.

Meanwhile, in the separate courtyard where Qin Jun resided, Daji and the Howling Celestial Dog stood silently before Qin Jun's guest room.

"Young Master is comprehending a divine ability..."

After a long while, the Howling Celestial Dog was the first to break the silent atmosphere, though its voice trembled slightly.

Qin Jun was only sixteen years old and had a cultivation base of the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, yet he could comprehend a divine ability!

For the Howling Celestial Dog, who had lived for an unknown number of years, this was simply an unbelievable matter!

Daji frowned, "And it's not just any ordinary divine ability!"

She could feel an aura emanating from Qin Jun's room that made even her, a Void Transformation Realm expert, feel a sense of dread. The Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits Transformations were considered rare great divine abilities even in Journey to the West. Those who mastered them were all great gods of heaven and earth, such as Marshal Tian Peng and Patriarch Bodhi.

The thirty-six divine abilities were completely imprinted in Qin Jun's mind. Although he had learned them, his cultivation base was too low. At most, he could use two divine abilities consecutively before his spiritual power was depleted, and the power of the abilities he used wouldn't be earth-shattering.

As expected, foundational cultivation is the most important thing!

Qin Jun slowly opened his eyes, and two beams of sharp light shot out, appearing extremely menacing in the dark room.

Rumble—

Thunder rumbled outside the window, but it didn't startle him. He was just a little confused as to why it had suddenly started thundering.

Little did he know, the entire Xuanling Sect was in a frenzy because of the heavenly tribulation he had caused.

"System, continue with random skill inheritance!"

Qin Jun chanted in his mind. He could sense Daji and the Howling Celestial Dog standing outside the door. With their protection, Qin Jun naturally had no fear.

What he needed most now was a cultivation technique.

The Qi Refining Art is a Mortal Grade Middle Rank cultivation technique, equivalent to common goods. Even though it allows one to fight monsters and complete quests to level up, a cultivation technique is still necessary.

The spiritual energy cultivated through a technique is incredibly important for cultivators. For example, in the same Foundation Establishment Realm fifth stage, a cultivator who has mastered a Spirit Grade cultivation technique will have several times, even over ten times, the amount of spiritual energy compared to Qin Jun, not to mention the quality of the spiritual energy.

If the spiritual energy cultivated by a Mortal Grade cultivation technique is equivalent to a wooden sword, then a Spirit Grade cultivation technique refines an iron sword!

Not to mention Earth Grade and Heaven Grade cultivation techniques!

As for ranks above those, Qin Jun had only heard the System mention them; there were no such records in the Gan Yue Kingdom.

"Ding! Commencing random skill inheritance!"

It has to be a cultivation technique!

A cultivation technique!

Preferably a super cultivation technique of Heaven Grade or higher!

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for drawing the unknown character's Purple Rainbow Lightning Method, a Heaven Grade Upper Rank cultivation technique!"

Unknown character?

Does that mean a minor character...

Qin Jun's mouth twitched, but a Heaven Grade Upper Rank cultivation technique wasn't bad. At least it was more than a hundred times better than the Qi Refining Art!

While he was lost in thought, the inheritance memories of the Purple Rainbow Lightning Method flooded his mind. It was much less uncomfortable than the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits Transformations, but his consciousness still fell into a blank state, letting down his guard against everything around him.

If someone had attacked him at this moment, they would have succeeded with ease.

Fortunately, Daji and the Howling Celestial Dog were guarding outside.

Meanwhile, the heavenly tribulation triggered by the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits Transformations began to show its might. Lightning dragons descended with world-ending power. The Xuanling Sect's protective formation was instantly activated, casting a faint blue light shield over the mountains. The falling lightning struck the formation's light shield, creating ripples like stones thrown into a lake.
