Heavenly Thunder True Method, Buddha Kingdom in Palm, Pill Formed! (Two-in-One)

After the Ninth Order Initial Realm comes the Awakening Realm.

This realm has no specific subdivisions.

To put it simply, there is only one stage.

And the Awakening Realm, as the name implies, is where one begins to excavate the potential of the physical body and awaken the Mythical Genes within.

The human body is infinitely profound, but before the global mutation, most people could not tap into even a ten-thousandth of its potential, because it was sealed by heaven and earth. However, after the mutation, the path of evolution opened, and the shackles vanished.

The gene locks hidden in the deepest recesses of the human body were broken, unleashing boundless potential.

This is also the foundation of the Life Leap.

Upon reaching this realm.

It is equivalent to the genes beginning to deify, acquiring all kinds of bizarre and wondrous powers, making one an Awakened in the truest sense.

As for the Initial Realm, although it also has various abilities, at best one is still human, merely having knocked on the door of the evolutionary path.

Now, Lu Yuan has broken through the Ninth Order Initial Realm and officially stands above the Awakening Realm.

Surpassing all the efforts of his entire ten years in his previous life.

Therefore.

Upon feeling this power.

Even he could not help but have a hint of joy in his eyes.

However, after Lu Yuan reached the Awakening Realm, no specific ability manifested.

The reason was simple: the newly fused Eleven-story Blood Futu had absorbed all of his genetic potential.

If one were to describe it, his ability was the Blood Qi Futu.

Once the futu emerged, his physical body became like a mountain, like a peak.

He could easily shake to death Awakened of the same level, completely incomparable to abilities like flames or ice.

In his previous life, he had seen that powerhouse who fused the Eleven-story Blood Futu.

With a single stomp, it was like a primordial beast trampling.

Even mountains and rivers shifted.

Of course, Lu Yuan had only just reached this realm and had not yet adapted, so he could not display it all at once. But as he continued to evolve and his strength increased, under the Blood Qi Futu, internal and external would unite, his body becoming like divine metal, indestructible.

Coupled with the complete version of the Classic of the Way and its Virtue, in the future, shaking the Stars with his strength and traversing the universe would be completely within his reach.

"This power is indeed very impressive."

Lu Yuan lightly clenched his fist, blood qi surging, bones and sinews humming in unison.

But he was very careful, afraid that if he used even a little more force, the villa behind him would collapse.

After all, his current strength was terrifying, surpassing human imagination.

Even.

Lu Yuan wanted to go outside and indulge in a bout of fighting, but he held back.

He knew it was unnecessary; it would be better to fully adapt to all the divine objects first, and then stride across the new era with an invincible posture!

"The Bodhi Ancient Tree, the complete Classic of the Way and its Virtue, the Great Luo Sword Embryo, the Eleven-story Blood Futu—I've used them all. What's next?"

At this moment, Lu Yuan stopped focusing on himself and turned his gaze to the remaining divine objects. These were external items that could not be integrated into his body, but each had excellent uses.

First, he picked up the Ghost Seal and the mysterious small tripod respectively. Both items emitted faint glimmers of light.

The Ghost Seal was still much the same as before, exuding an inexplicable evil nature.

Holding it in his hand, he could even feel its coldness.

As for the mysterious small tripod, it was unremarkable, appearing cyan-green and the size of a palm.

Its surface was densely covered with various patterns and engravings.

A tripod.

In ancient times, it was used for sacrifices, a ritual vessel representing nobility, not to be used by ordinary people.

And these two items were both keys to opening the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, and also one of the most important parts of Lu Yuan's plan.

Because within that royal mausoleum at Mount Li, there was something he absolutely had to obtain.

A supreme Breathing Method!

If one were to say that visualization methods are for opening up and illuminating the path of evolution for a person.

Then Breathing Methods are the means to stimulate one's own power to its limit.

But whether visualization methods or Breathing Methods.

It could be said that they are extremely rare.

Unless they belong to forces with ancient traditions and bloodlines, or beings from beyond the domain.

Lu Yuan knew of some Breathing Methods, but not a single one could compare to the one in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. He would have to make a trip there in the future, and thus the small tripod and Ghost Seal in his hands were indispensable; otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to enter.

After all, that was the resting place of the Ancestral Dragon—how could one enter without the proper method and key?

For now, though, these two items were of no use to him.

So Lu Yuan set them aside for the moment.

He turned and picked up the Innate Qi Garment.

Unlike its previous tattered state, the garment was now as smooth and light as silk.

Its texture was transparent, weightless in the hand, and pleasant to the touch.

But don't be fooled by how thin it was—one might think it could be torn with a single pull.

In reality, the Innate Qi Garment was made from a special material, impervious to water and fire, and unbreakable by thunder or lightning.

Lu Yuan even tested it; even with his own strength, he could barely leave a mark on its surface.

Upon closer inspection, one would notice a mysterious radiance clinging to the garment—this was the mutated Heaven-Earth Force, now being absorbed automatically.

It was easy to foresee that wearing it would bring unimaginable benefits.

As for why Lu Yuan picked it up first, there were two reasons.

First, although his physique was terrifying, comparable to steel, that didn't mean he was invulnerable to injury.

And this Innate Qi Garment would greatly enhance his defense, making him indestructible even before gods.

Some might say that true strength is forged through trials and tribulations, but Lu Yuan couldn't care less. He believed that only by staying alive could one reach the end—so why not use a good thing when you had it?

As for the second reason, it was that after merging with the Eleven-story Blood Futu, Lu Yuan was covered in bloodstains and needed to wash up. He planned to put the garment on directly.

Soon, he headed to the villa's bathroom, cleaned himself up a bit, and then stepped back into the courtyard.

However, his clothes were still the same as before—no change.

That's right. This was another ability of the Innate Qi Garment: it could change form at will.

With it, he basically didn't have to worry about his clothes being damaged in battle, and it was also convenient for concealment, allowing him to strike a fatal blow against an enemy at a critical moment.

If not for this, why would Lu Yuan have spent an entire three months gathering all kinds of divine treasures?

They were all the best, and all perfectly suited to him.

After finishing this, Lu Yuan calmed himself a little and turned his gaze to the Zi Wu Bu Tian Lu, which Immortal Master Ge used for alchemy.

This was something he had obtained in his past life as well, so he was very familiar with it and knew its function.

It was simple.

Once activated, it would automatically gather Heaven-Earth Spirits, or some divine fruits and exotic grasses, and refine them into pills.

Taking these pills could aid cultivation—much like how the immortals of legend relied on elixirs to train.

Of course, as an item belonging to Immortal Master Ge, even activating it required a specific method.

As luck would have it, the ancient tome Old Master Ge had given him contained the relevant records.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment. In his past life, he had died without ever unlocking the true potential of this furnace—a great regret. So why not try it now and see what it could do?

Once the thought came, he acted on it. He opened the ancient tome, read through it once, and understood everything completely.

There was no helping it—under the blessing of billion-fold talent, his comprehension was simply too terrifying.

Then, Lu Yuan took a deep breath.

And using the techniques from the ancient tome, he struck the Zi Wu Bu Tian Lu at several different points.

Clang!!!

The next instant, the Zi Wu Bu Tian Lu expanded to the size of a zhang, hovering in midair.

Blinding rays of light shot out from its entire body.

The furnace lid trembled, and like a black hole, it generated a tremendous suction force, actually trying to swallow all the mysterious energy produced by the mutation around the villa!

Those were streams of Heaven-Earth Essence—

a special energy that only appeared after a mutation.

All living beings walk the path of evolution by relying on this power, as ubiquitous as oxygen.

However, ordinary Awakened individuals must use visualization techniques and accumulate it day and night to draw it into their bodies.

But now, after being activated, the Zi Wu Bu Tian Lu automatically absorbed this power on its own.

This method could only be described as astonishing.

Moreover, as time passed, the light radiating from the furnace mouth grew brighter and brighter, almost dazzling.

Lu Yuan knew it was gathering the Heaven-Earth Spirit to refine into pills.

It seemed it would still take some time.

It wouldn't be finished anytime soon.

"Forget it, let it refine itself." Lu Yuan shook his head and chose to ignore it for now.

Before him now were three divine objects: the Sarira, the Wordless Stone Tablet, and the Sky Shaking Bow.

After a moment's thought, Lu Yuan sat cross-legged before the Wordless Stone Tablet.

The tablet's size remained unchanged; its only peculiarity was that its surface was smoother than a mirror, reflecting figures like a polished glass, while irregular patterns—indescribable and strange—ran across it.

If he had to describe them, they were like lightning descending from the nine heavens.

"In my past life, someone comprehended a world-shaking Supernatural Power from this Wordless Stone Tablet."

"Legend says that person spent three whole years on it. I wonder how long it will take me, with my current talent and aptitude."

Lu Yuan murmured to himself, his eyes filled with thought and anticipation.

As for what a Supernatural Power was, it was a combat technique.

Like martial arts moves, it used the power within the body to fight enemies.

But Supernatural Powers were far stronger—they enabled what ordinary people could not, overturning rivers and seas.

Of course, weak Awakened individuals generally couldn't master Supernatural Powers; even if they did, they couldn't unleash their true might, as their bodies couldn't withstand it. Only those with exceptional talent could manage it, and only after reaching the Shackled Realm could they execute them smoothly.

Lu Yuan's physique was powerful, having fused with various divine objects, so he could no longer be judged by common sense.

If he comprehended a Supernatural Power, he could naturally master it.

Thus, he focused his mind entirely on the Wordless Stone Tablet.

Slowly, the irregular patterns on the tablet seemed to begin moving.

Soon, Lu Yuan suddenly saw a massive bolt of lightning, transforming into a lightning dragon, carrying a primal aura as it dove down from the nine heavens, like an apocalyptic thunder tribulation.

Boom!

A deafening roar echoed in his mind, like divine punishment from the heavens.

Crack~ Crack~

And at that moment, the Wordless Stone Tablet became covered in cracks, then burst into fragments with a bang, sinking into the soil and vanishing.

But Lu Yuan, witnessing this, showed no reaction; instead, his face took on a thoughtful expression.

He checked the time—ten minutes had passed.

And within those ten minutes, he had already comprehended the Supernatural Power on the Wordless Stone Tablet.

That powerful figure had sat motionless for three whole years.

And he himself

had only taken ten minutes?

Lu Yuan was a bit speechless. It seemed the benefits from the Bodhi Ancient Tree were truly immense.

Then, he set aside his stray thoughts, closed his eyes, and a bolt of lightning appeared in his mind.

Characters were also engraved into it one by one.

This was the world-shaking great Supernatural Power from the Wordless Stone Tablet, named: Jade Emperor Heavenly Thunder Righteous Law!

Once activated, he could command the power of thunder and lightning as easily as moving his own limbs. The stronger his strength, the more powerful the thunder law became, capable of splitting the sky.

By nature, thunder was the epitome of yang and rigidity, representing destruction.

Lu Yuan could imagine

how terrifying it would be when he one day commanded thunder and lightning in battle against enemies.

Wouldn't it be no less than the legendary Orthodox God of Thunder?

"As expected of the Ancestral Court of Taoism, I'll gladly accept this Supernatural Power from Longhu Mountain." Lu Yuan smiled. Spending ten million to acquire such a formidable technique—if those old Daoist priests found out, they'd probably be hopping mad, wouldn't they?

Of course, he didn't continue studying it for now. Instead, he turned his gaze to that Sarira.

Left behind by an eminent monk's cremation, it contained a great Buddhist Supernatural Power.

But even the most gifted Awakened couldn't comprehend it.

The reason was simple: it required the Bodhi Ancient Tree to be activated. Otherwise, no one who obtained it could use it.

Thus, everything Lu Yuan did was planned in advance, with no surprises.

Picking up the Sarira, he pondered for a moment.

Then he closed his eyes.

He brought it close to the center of his brow, simultaneously stirring the Bodhi Ancient Tree that had already merged into his mind.

Instantly, from the ancient tree, the chanting of Buddhas arose.

At that moment, the Sarira also emitted strands of gentle Buddha light, beginning to resonate with the tree.

Before long, one character after another emerged from the Sarira, manifesting in midair.

Then they all drilled into Lu Yuan's brow and vanished.

When the last character surged in.

The Sarira was also covered in cracks, completely turning to powder, as if it had never existed.

Just like the Wordless Stone Tablet—once someone fully comprehended it, it would automatically disappear.

And at this moment.

Lu Yuan also learned the name of that Supernatural Power within the Sarira.

Buddha Kingdom in Palm!

Once comprehended and mastered, and driven with absolute strength, a single hand could give birth to a vast Buddha Kingdom, forming a domain to imprison enemies, while simultaneously unleashing the kingdom's might to grind away both soul and flesh. It was a great Supernatural Power no less than the Jade Emperor Heavenly Thunder Righteous Law.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan's eyes lit up. He slightly extended his right hand.

On his palm, Buddha light surged, and within it, vast Buddhist lands began to appear.

But because it was only a preliminary comprehension, not thorough, and his strength was insufficient, the Buddhist lands were blurry and hadn't taken shape.

Even so, he could still feel the power of this technique.

"It really didn't disappoint me."

Lu Yuan withdrew his hand, a smile spreading across his face.

With these two Supernatural Powers, his combat strength would be greatly enhanced.

Of course, to fully unleash their might, he would need continuous practice until complete mastery.

By then, this would undoubtedly be one of his foundations for dominating the world and remaining unrivaled in the future!

"What a pity—comprehending these two Buddhist and Daoist Supernatural Powers has boosted my strength, but my realm still hasn't broken through. Just a little short." Lu Yuan stopped dwelling on it and instead examined his own state.

Having continuously fused multiple divine objects, he had reached the Awakening Realm, just one step away from breaking through.

But he had used up everything available, which was really troublesome.

Clang!

Just as Lu Yuan was feeling helpless.

A buzzing sound suddenly rang in his ears.

He turned to look, and saw that the Zi Wu Bu Tian Lu had stabilized, its light fully retracted.

And at the furnace mouth, a thumb-sized pure white pill was rising and falling!

Right.

How could he have forgotten about that?
