Divine Sword Thunder Control True Art!

Great Bamboo Peak.

Before Shou Jing Hall, the wind howled.

Tian Buyi, with his large belly, clasped his hands behind his back.

The Crimson Flame Immortal Sword flickered in the red light, circling his short, stout body.

He glanced at Ye Xuan, standing at the foot of the steps, cleared his throat, and instantly raised his voice a few octaves.

"Seventh, watch closely!"

"The Divine Sword Thunder Control True Art, its essence is to use a mortal body to summon the might of heaven and earth."

"The danger within this art is immense; a moment's carelessness means utter annihilation."

As Tian Buyi spoke, he cast sidelong glances at Ye Xuan.

Seeing nothing but anticipation on Ye Xuan's face, devoid of any fear, he couldn't help but scoff inwardly.

Such an ignorant brat.

When you witness the true might of heaven, I'll see if you don't wet your pants from fright.

"Rise!"

Tian Buyi bellowed.

The Crimson Flame Immortal Sword's red glow surged, instantly transforming into a long rainbow that shot into the sky.

Immediately after.

The previously clear sky abruptly darkened.

Heavy dark clouds, as if conjured from thin air, pressed down overhead in the blink of an eye.

Within the clouds, faint lightning snakes slithered.

The low rumble of thunder made one's heart tremble.

Su Ru stood under the eaves, her clothes flapping wildly in the gale.

But her gaze remained fixed on Tian Buyi, a gentle smile playing on her lips.

My dear fatty hasn't exerted himself like this in a long time.

Tian Buyi stepped on the Big Dipper formation, his expression solemn. He gripped his left hand in a sword seal and pointed his right hand to the sky.

He recited the world-shaking incantation.

"Nine Heavens Profound Thunder, manifest as Divine Thunder."

"Blazing Heavenly Might, guide it with the sword!"

BOOM!

A thunderclap echoed through heaven and earth.

A dazzling bolt of lightning tore through the firmament, striking the Crimson Flame Immortal Sword directly.

In that instant.

Tian Buyi seemed bathed in lightning.

His short, stout body somehow exuded an imposing aura, as steadfast as a mountain.

Red light and lightning intertwined.

A terrifying pressure instantly swept across Shou Jing Hall.

Even though Tian Buyi had deliberately restrained its power and didn't truly strike down, this mere act of drawing lightning into the sword was enough to make ordinary disciples' legs go weak.

A moment later.

The clouds dispersed, the wind subsided, and the lightning faded.

The Crimson Flame Immortal Sword, still warm, returned to its sheath with a clang.

Tian Buyi withdrew his stance, exhaling a long breath of stale air.

Then.

He slowly turned, hands clasped behind his back, adopting the air of a detached, high-ranking master.

"How was it?"

"Did you clearly see the might of the Divine Sword Thunder Control True Art?"

Tian Buyi asked indifferently, his chin slightly raised, without looking at Ye Xuan.

Inside, however, he was secretly pleased.

Well?

Shocked, aren't you?

Scared stiff, I bet?

That's right!

Hurry back and go into seclusion for three to five years.

Stop pondering those useless things all day, and give me a few days of peace.

However.

The expected gasp of amazement didn't come.

The air was eerily quiet.

Tian Buyi frowned. Why wasn't this kid saying anything?

Had he been scared silly?

He couldn't help but secretly open a crack in his eyes and glance down.

He saw Ye Xuan standing in place, his brow furrowed, his right hand at his side as if gesturing something, muttering to himself.

He didn't look the least bit intimidated.

Instead...

He looked like he was reviewing the process?

Tian Buyi's heart skipped a beat. This reaction was wrong.

"Master."

"The key to drawing lightning is to use one's own Vital Energy as a guide to resonate with the spiritual energy of thunder in the heavens and earth?"

A moment later.

Ye Xuan suddenly looked up, his eyes sparkling with an excitement that made Tian Buyi uneasy.

Hearing this.

Tian Buyi was stunned.

This question... was a bit profound.

Without decades of cultivation, how could one ask such a pointed question?

"That is natural."

"But the balance is extremely difficult to grasp."

"Too much and you'll burn yourself, too little and the lightning won't descend. You..."

Tian Buyi forced himself to stay calm, his face stern as he explained.

"Oh, I understand."

Before Tian Buyi could finish.

Ye Xuan nodded, directly interrupting his long-winded speech.

"You understand?"

"Understand what?"

"What have you understood already?"

Tian Buyi's voice instantly rose by eight octaves, his eyes wide open.

He'd only seen it once!

And you're telling me you understand?

Even bragging shouldn't be done like this!

"Seventh."

"This Divine Sword Thunder Control True Art is no trivial matter."

"Do not be impatient for quick success."

"If you pretend to understand when you don't and forcefully cultivate, you can easily injure your meridians."

Su Ru also looked surprised and walked forward, speaking softly.

"Mistress, I'm not pretending."

"I feel... it doesn't seem that difficult?"

Ye Xuan scratched his head, looking honest and guileless.

He wasn't lying.

Because he not only possessed the Primordial Era Version of the Innate Dao Body, but also God-tier Comprehension.

The Divine Sword Thunder Control True Art, although one of the four great sword arts of the Qingyun Sect.

In Ye Xuan's eyes, it wasn't a particularly complicated set of moves.

And when Tian Buyi performed it earlier, he had deliberately slowed down his speed.

Now.

After understanding the key points of the Divine Sword Thunder Control True Art.

Ye Xuan could naturally master this ultimate skill with ease.

It's just that.

After hearing Ye Xuan's words.

Tian Buyi nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Not difficult?

One of the four most difficult sword arts in the Qingyun Sect's thousand-year history, and you say it's not difficult?

When I practiced this thing back then, I was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside. It took me several years to even achieve minor success!

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Since you say it's not difficult, then you can practice it for your master to see!"

"If you can perform it today, I'll teach you anything you want to learn from now on!"

Tian Buyi was so amused that he said "good" three times in a row, his chubby face turning red.

As soon as he finished speaking.

Tian Buyi regretted it.

Why was he arguing with a child?

What if this kid really didn't know his limits and forcefully circulated his energy, damaging his foundation?

He was about to take it back.

Clang!

A clear and resonant sword cry suddenly rang out.

Ye Xuan reached back and drew the Chang Qing Sword from its sheath.

The next moment.

Ye Xuan's expression changed.

His usual playful smile disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented focus.

That level of focus made Tian Buyi swallow the words that were already on his lips.

This kid's aura...

Why did it change?

Ye Xuan held the sword in one hand, and the footwork he stepped out was exactly the same as the seven-star formation Tian Buyi had just used!

Tian Buyi's eyes widened.

This is impossible!

Even if his memory was good enough to remember the footwork.

But the rhythm of circulating Vital Energy within the body when combined with this footwork, could that be learned just by looking at it once?

Before Tian Buyi could recover.

The Chang Qing Sword in Ye Xuan's hand was already pointing towards the sky.

A young but firm voice echoed in front of Shou Jing Hall.

"Nine Heavens Profound Tribulation, transform into divine thunder."

"The majestic power of heaven, I shall guide it with my sword!"

The moment the last four words were uttered.

The sky, which had already cleared up, actually darkened again!

Although it wasn't as imposing and vast as the dark clouds pressing down on the city when Tian Buyi had done it earlier.

Above their heads, a dark cloud was rapidly gathering!

Crackling.

Tiny arcs of electricity jumped within the clouds.

Tian Buyi's mouth slowly opened, wide enough to fit an egg.

Su Ru's beautiful eyes were also wide open, her jade hands instinctively covering her red lips, her face full of disbelief.

This... how is this possible?

He learned it just by watching once?

Is this the Innate Dao Body?
