Cultivating Thunder Methods, Making a Pilgrimage to the Sacred Mountain!
At the summit of Lightning Mountain, a fierce wind howled.
The thunderclouds above the nine heavens never disperse, and thick, purplish-blue electric pythons tear deep, bottomless cracks in the sheer cliff face.
The Shan Yue resembles an ancient, clumsy thunder blade piercing the sky.
Holy Mountain Mysterious Palace, Lightning Origin Ancient Cave.
The heavy Dragon-Slaying Stone had already fallen, and the three layers of restrictions, interwoven with Barbarian Bone runes and Divine Firmament Righteous Yang Lightning, completely isolated the inner and outer worlds.
The cave was extremely spacious, with the floor paved with a single stone slab made of lightning-struck black iron. Wisps of warm electric arcs seeped out from the cracks in the ground, licking the surrounding rock walls.
Shi Jian sat cross-legged in the void, three feet above the ground.
Before him, a section of ancient wood struck by lightning, its entire body charred black and faintly gleaming with a warm, golden-white luster, floated in the air.
Moreover, he refined the remains of several Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators seized from the Spirit Race Clan's armory, as well as the flesh and blood of the Death Giant Lizard Elder severed from the Dead Sea, with true lightning, transforming them into clusters of incomparably pure primordial energy that surrounded him.
One of the Six Dao Immortal Foundation of Divine Firmament: [Radiant Yang Lightning]
Over the past few years, this Immortal Foundation has quietly lay dormant. Although it has taken root, it has always been separated by a layer, making it difficult to cultivate and comprehend.
As one progresses further in the cultivation of immortality, simply absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi becomes insufficient for further advancement.
The so-called "Immortal Foundation" is essentially about connecting one's own Dao heart and soul with the rules of heaven and earth, and using one's own will to imprint a certain supreme principle of the entire Great Dao.
"The Divine Firmament possesses thunder; the first is called Purple Pivot, which receives heavenly thunder; the second is Purple Firmament, which kills and annihilates the heavens; the third is True Yang, which wards off evil and burns away filth."
Shi Jian's eyes closed slightly, his mind churning with turmoil.
The three thunderous platforms roared and trembled within his body, and the purple-gold energy washed over his limbs and bones.
"Radiant Yang, what is this fourth thunderbolt... Radiant Yang?"
He twitched his fingertips slightly, and a pure golden bolt of lightning leaped out from his fingertip.
The lightning bolts, lacking the usual ferocity and roar of thunder, instead emitted a warmth like the rising sun as they struck the void.
As the warmth swept by, a tender green shoot of a spiritual herb quietly sprouted from the crevices of the charred rocks all around!
Destruction breeds creation, and spring blossoms in the dead.
This is Radiant Yang.
Shi Jian's mind was clearer than ever before.
Images of his past struggles at the bottom of the Profound Spirit Continent flashed through his mind, along with the tragic scenes of billions of lives being annihilated in the clash of the Great Daos on the Two Realms Battlefield.
It also reveals the resolute determination of oneself, whose physical body was destroyed in the chaotic void, yet who was reborn through that sliver of life.
Thunder is never just divine punishment.
It is the first thunder of spring before the rainy season, awakening life and bringing forth new vitality; it is the first ray of dawn after a catastrophe, reshaping the world!
"The Dao of Lightning leads to profound mysteries, and the Divine Firmament reside at the summit."
Shi Jian muttered to himself, "The Tao follows the Dao Emulates Own Inherent Spontaneity. Cultivation is not something that can be accomplished in a day. The difficulty increases exponentially as one progresses in cultivation."
He then took out one blank jade slip after another.
With his right fingers together, golden-white lightning flashed across the Jade Slip slip like a carving knife.
Inside the cave abode, only the crisp sound of engraving could be heard.
Shi Jian was moved by this and cast the scriptures.
He inscribed his understanding of the three paths of thunder and lightning, his deduction of the orthodox Divine Firmament lineage, and his insights into the transformation of heaven and earth from death to life into jade without reservation, all accumulated over a thousand years of cultivation.
Great masters in the cultivation world often do the same thing before reaching the Extreme Realm: they write scriptures and compile Daoist canons.
This is not only a legacy to be passed down to future generations, but also a process of reviewing and integrating the great Dao from the outside in, so as to understand one's own path.
When all the scattered insights are strung together into a book by clear words and Principle, the originally vague Dao Path becomes as smooth as a plain under the strokes of the pen!
The first volume, "The Divine Firmament Pivot Mastery Scripture," describes the profound significance of the Purple Pivot and its wondrous ability to control ten thousand thunderbolts, teaching future generations how to build an unshakeable foundation for ten thousand years.
Volume Two, "The Divine Firmament Sky-Breaking Chapter," depicts the sharpness of the Purple Firmament, discusses the changes in the battles between heaven and earth, and recounts the divine might of the Purple Firmament.
Volume Three, "Righteous Yang Treatise on Expelling Evil," distinguishes the Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth, and True Intention of divine thunder breaking through obstacles; it reveals the light of Yang thunder and discusses the meaning of righteous thunder.
Until Volume Four...
Shi Jian abruptly stopped writing.
Inside the cave abode, the ancient tree struck by lightning seemed to sense the rhythm of some great Dao, and suddenly burst forth with a golden light that stretched for ten thousand feet!
The ancient wood shattered inch by inch, transforming into countless golden spots of light, which, like moths drawn to a flame, continuously merged into Shi Jian's brow.
At the same time, the life essence of the Spirit Transformation Spirit Race cultivators surrounding them suddenly surged back!
Boom!
Inside Shi Jian's body, a fourth platform, its entire surface as if cast from gold and glazed glass, rose from the ground!
The entire platform is engraved with intricate Daoist patterns depicting the rising sun and the revival of all things.
Four fundamental resonances!
Purple, gold, and white lightning completely flowed through his Dantian, forming a perpetually circulating Greater Celestial Circuit ring.
The Qi and Blood within his body surged once more, and his skin and bones, refined by this radiant and thunderous light, became crystal clear, as if cast from divine gold and glaze.
On the fourth Jade Slip scroll floating before him, golden and white lightning automatically danced, revealing four large characters:
The Radiant Yang Creation and Destruction Volume!
The Immortal Foundation is in turmoil, which is in line with reason, and the Divine Firmament takes another step forward in the fourth stage.
Shi Jian suddenly understood, closed his eyes again, and, taking advantage of the initial perfection of his Cultivation Method, continued to immerse himself in the deduction of the Great Dao.
Sitting there, I lost track of time.
With continuous improvement of his Immortal Foundation, he will eventually reach perfection in time.
In the mountains, there is no sun or moon; as the cold fades, one loses track of time.
While Shi Jian was deep in his cave abode, he was devoted to comprehending the Dao, while the outside world, Lightning Mountain Sacred Mountain, was undergoing earth-shattering changes over the past few decades.
Back then, Shi Jian returned from the Dao Realm with overwhelming military achievements and was proudly granted the Li Bear Plains, with a territory of thirty million li.
The news that the Ancestor Egu had bestowed upon them a great treasure had spread throughout the western part of the Beast Realm at an astonishing speed.
A young giant who, at less than two thousand years old, had already entered the Late Spirit Transformation, slain several peers with his bare hands, and escaped unscathed from the pursuit of Human Race Spirit Transformation Extreme Stage sword cultivator!
For the entire Giant Bear Clan, this was nothing short of a rising, towering tree.
The Giant Bear Clan has eight lineages, with the Mountain Bear and Azure Bear lineages traditionally being the dominant ones.
Although the Lightning Bear Line is also a major lineage, the Lei Xiong lineage has never been considered prosperous because the threshold for cultivating the Dao of Lightning is extremely high, and it is too bloody and difficult to cultivate.
But things are different now.
"Have you heard? That Ancestor Shi Jian of Lightning Mountain Sacred Mountain has been in seclusion in the ancestral land for many years, and it's said he's already begun to comprehend the fourth Immortal Foundation!"
"More than that! I heard from my uncle who returned from the front lines that Ancestor Shi Jian possesses powerful elixirs from the Spirit Race and precious treasures from the Dao Realm. Even a small amount of it would be enough for us to live on for hundreds of years!"
"Let's go! To Lightning Mountain!"
Even being a vassal looking after the mountains would be a hundred times better than being stuck in this Savage Wilderness swamp!
In an instant, throughout the entire territory of the Giant Bear Clan, countless collateral branches cultivating Thunder Method, and even young descendants from various tribes who had awakened their talent for Dao of Lightning, surged toward Lightning Mountain Sacred Mountain like rivers flowing into the sea.
Like believers, they walked and prostrated themselves, all for the holy mountain they sought in their hearts!
In order to seek the true method of Dao of Lightning, and to understand the profound mysteries of Thunder Method magic.
The Giant Bear Ancestral Court has always encouraged the free flow of energy among its various lineages.
In this dog-eat-dog world, it is only natural that the strong will attract the weak.
In just thirty years, palaces and cave abode stretching for thousands of miles rose from the once somewhat deserted foot of Lightning Mountain Sacred Mountain.
Hundreds of thousands of bear demons dwell here.
Every day they faced the sacred mountain and breathed in thunder, revering it as "Divine Firmament Thunder Ancestor".
With the convergence of this immense popularity and bloodline, the fortune of the Lightning Bear Line is soaring like oil being poured over a raging fire!
