Perhaps Chen Shuangbai's display of power this time truly frightened them, or perhaps they were gathering strength, intending to launch a major attack...
In short, Chen Shuangbai cultivated peacefully for more than five months.
That day, at night.
Listening to the Waves Pavilion.
Chen Shuangbai sat cross-legged on a futon, facing the bamboo forest and clear lake. The First Month Divine Manifestation appeared behind him, gathering the spiritual energy in the moonlight to aid his cultivation.
During his May cultivation, Chen Shuangbai's Dao body became increasingly pure.
Finally, in a certain instant...
Chen Shuangbai suddenly opened her eyes, and the clear moonlight in the sky suddenly became even brighter.
For a moment, it was as if this quiet room had been transformed into a frost palace in the moon, bright, clean, and radiating boundless holy light.
Chen Shuangbai slowly inhaled, drawing back the two streams of energy surrounding her that resembled both foxes and dragons. At that moment, her body seemed to brighten.
A sound like shattering Glazed Glass could be heard within his body, and his internal Law Power surged like a river, breaking through invisible barriers and flowing through his wider meridians. The previously stagnant barrier to cultivation suddenly burst open, and a more refined and powerful Law Power began to flow.
" Sixth Layer of Qi Refining, achieved."
Chen Shuangbai slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, which was like cold smoke with scattered specks of light, and then slowly dissipated.
Compared to when she was at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, Chen Shuangbai's Law Power has improved significantly in both quantity and purity.
Not only has his Law Power undergone a transformation, but his spiritual sense has also broken through, covering a much larger area than before.
" The First Month Divine Manifestation is indeed extraordinary."
Chen Shuangbai praised.
He then recalled the twelve phases of the moon that had surfaced in his mind, thinking, "If one day I could condense all twelve phases of the moon into divine forms..."
He shook his head, temporarily putting this unfounded matter out of his mind.
However, the gains from this seclusion were not only a breakthrough in cultivation, but also another additional benefit.
In the Storage Bag of the sinister old man who ambushed Chen Shuangbai not long ago, besides the Spirit Stone and cultivation items, there was also a large crystal that Chen Shuangbai had never seen before. It was shaped like crystal and exuded a chilling aura.
The crystal was quite cold; as soon as it was taken out of the Storage Bag and landed on the ground, a layer of icy frost spread out.
Chen Shuangbai accidentally touched it and almost froze half of her hand.
However, Chen Shuangbai accidentally discovered that he could inject his Law Power into it, and the ice crystals showed some signs of being refined. So, he painstakingly took time out of his cultivation to refine it little by little.
Now, only a tiny bit remains.
Chen Shuangbai took the small piece of ice crystal out of her Storage Bag, released her Law Power, and refined it.
Half an incense stick later.
The last bit of ice crystal was finally completely refined, revealing a page that appeared to be forged from some kind of silver metal.
Chen Shuangbai took the book page in her hand.
These silver metallic pages are as thin as cicada wings, yet exceptionally tough, cool to the touch, and have fine, mysterious natural patterns along their edges, resembling both ice cracks and thunder patterns.
Chen Shuangbai held it up to her and found that it was smooth and had no writing on it.
"Perhaps..."
Chen Shuangbai had a guess in mind, so he used his spiritual sense to observe it. As if parting the fog, a large area of tadpole-like seal script appeared on it.
"It can indeed be seen only with spiritual awareness."
"So mysterious... could it be some kind of Divine Ability Secret Method?"
After observing it carefully, Chen Shuangbai's face showed even greater joy.
"It's actually a Thunder Method?!"
On the page of that book was recorded a Yin-attribute Thunder Method called [ Ice Baleful Intent Yin Thunder ].
When Daoist Lingxiu was teaching the outer disciples in the mountains, he explained this Thunder Method in detail.
Of all the myriad magical arts and Divine Ability in the world, Thunder Method is the most yang and powerful, and the most lethal. It is renowned as the foremost of all magics and the best at destroying evil.
This Thunder Method also has distinctions between Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.
According to the records in this silver metal book, this [ Ice Baleful Intent Yin Thunder ] belongs to Yin Lightning and is combined with ice, ranking twenty-seventh among the thirty-six types of Yin Thunder Method.
"Twenty-seven... that's enough."
Thunder Method is notoriously difficult to cultivate and even harder to obtain.
Even in the Jade Spring Sect's Book Collection Cave, the Book Spirit said there weren't many Thunder Method.
Moreover, throughout history, very few people have been able to master this Thunder Method.
Whether it's Yin Thunder Method or Yang Thunder Method, one wrong move and you might not only fail to master it, but also lose your life.
"But I'm different."
Chen Shuangbai possesses the [ Great Yin Dao Fruit ], one of whose powers is the ability to transform a Law Technique, Cultivation Method, or secret art into one that best suits her.
Chen Shuangbai used his spiritual sense to observe and memorize the entire [ Ice Baleful Intent Yin Thunder ] text. A copy of the same silver metal book appeared in his sea of consciousness and was pushed in front of the Xuanming Guangming Moon, which was constantly changing in the four phases of the moon.
[I humbly request the Grand Yin to transform this " Ice Baleful Intent Yin Thunder " Thunder Method into a protective Divine Ability that aligns with my Dao Path and can be controlled by me!]
The bright moon, which had been subtly shifting through the four phases of waxing and waning, paused slightly before casting its cool moonlight. A sound like shattering Glazed Glass rang in my ears, enveloping the silver metal page that had been imprinted by my spiritual sense.
"Buzz..."
With a slight tremor in his sea of consciousness, the Xuanming Guangming Moon shone brightly. In a daze, Chen Shuangbai seemed to see Liaowu tadpole-like seal characters floating in the clear light, dispersing and then recombining, then dispersing again, and finally reforming.
Chen Shuangbai looked inward and saw a jade scroll fall on his heart, transforming into a new Yin-attribute Thunder Method.
[Based on this method, drawing upon the chilling and unpredictable nature of Yin Lightning, the fierce and sealing power of Ice Fiend, and incorporating the True Intention of midnight's annihilation, one obtains the " Midnight Month Cold Light Yin Thunder Method "!]
" Midnight Month Cold Light Yin Thunder?"
Chen Shuangbai examined the Midnight Month Cold Light Yin Thunder once and found that the Dao Fruit was indeed profound and wondrous.
"While the original [ Ice Baleful Intent Yin Thunder ] was indeed extremely fierce, refining it into a lightning seed was incredibly difficult, and this Yin Thunder Method was also prone to corrupting the user, causing a backlash."
"In comparison, the Midnight Month Cold Light Yin Thunder has no backlash on the caster, whether it's for refining the lightning seed or casting the spell. This is the Thunder Method that truly suits me."
"Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!"
Chen Shuangbai couldn't help but exclaim in admiration once again.
He was once again amazed by the profound mystery of the Dao Fruit.
After the initial joy, Chen Shuangbai calmed down.
"Let me see what spiritual materials are needed to refine this Midnight Month Cold Light Thunder Seed... Ice Soul Jade, Yin Thunder Stone, Cold Marrow Liquid... These are not available in Wind Howling County; we'll have to send someone to the nearby market to purchase them."
"Oh wait, I seem to have forgotten, we can also purchase them from within the sect."
As Chen Shuangbai repeatedly read through the entire text of the Yin Thunder Method, he pondered the key points within it.
Not long after.
A plan had been made in my mind.
He planned to have Zhuang Wen arrange for someone to secretly purchase the Thunder Method without alerting those with ulterior motives, so that it could be done discreetly and he could use it as his trump card.
" The Dao Path is long and arduous; we must proceed steadily and surely, and avoid being greedy for quick success or rushing ahead rashly."
