Refining the Origin of Lightning, Sun Lin Cultivates in Seclusion!

A life-or-death situation can be unpredictable.

Shi Jian returned to the cave and lay motionless on the ground.

Blood continued to seep from the wounds all over his body, his left scapula was exposed, and his broken coccyx was bent at an odd angle.

Although the muscles and bones in my limbs are healing, I can hear a dull thud as if flesh is being torn apart every time I try to move them...

He didn't move, neither because he wanted to nor because he was truly unable to.

This flesh and blood body was charred and torn apart by the lightning. Although its Qi and Blood were abundant and its repair speed was far superior to that of others of the same level, it could not withstand the damage that was too severe and too serious!

The residual lightning power in his meridians was still surging wildly, and every now and then a current would surge out from between his bones, making his eyelids twitch.

But Shi Jian's attention was entirely focused on the Demon Core...

Silver arcs of electricity slowly swirled around the Demon Core. Though thin and weak, they formed a self-contained entity, unaffected by external forces and undissipated by fluctuations in Qi and Blood.

This is something he risked half his life for; the price was high, but it was worth it!

Sun Lin.

Shi Jian shouted, his voice hoarse like sandpaper scraping iron.

Outside the cave, Sun Lin rushed over in a few steps. Seeing Shi Jian's miserable state, he didn't say much and obediently waited to the side.

"Take out the Spirit Stone and arrange them around me, the more the better."

"Also, pour some of the crystalline powder onto the ground and arrange it in a circle."

Sun Lin nodded in agreement, took out Spirit Stone and white crystalline powder from his Storage Bag, and arranged them according to the directions indicated by Shi Jian.

"Alright, go back and draw your talisman."

"There's nothing else to do, so don't bother me. I need to recuperate here for a while, so you'll have to keep a close watch on this place for me."

"Yes, Ancestor."

Sun Lin bowed respectfully and slowly withdrew.

Seeing this, Shi Jian fell into a light sleep, began to regulate his breathing and circulate his qi to suppress his injuries, and at the same time sank his consciousness into the Demon Core to touch that nascent Lightning Origin.

He needs time.

It's not just about healing the injury, but also about understanding the True Intention of that wisp of thunder.

To gradually and thoroughly understand the essence of thunder and comprehend the mysteries of the Dao of Lightning. Demon Cultivator, but in essence, they are both pursuing the Great Dao.

Some things cannot be fully understood by eating a few fruits.

It takes time and effort to learn and understand.

Ordinary Demon Beast may only be able to follow their instincts, but Shi Jian, having used Enlightenment on himself for many years, has an extremely profound understanding of the Dao!

This is the third manifestation of the Enlightenment System.

The first purpose is to Enlightenment and enlighten the mind; the second is to strengthen the spirit and soul.

The third is enlightenment and awakening.

Time passed day by day.

Shi Jian remained in seclusion, and from within his cave abode came muffled snoring, like rolling thunder, occasionally accompanied by the sound of bones realigning.

Sun Lin wasn't idle either.

He wandered around the stone forest every day, observing the lightning strike patterns on the stone pillars, pondering the trajectory of the lightning strikes, and occasionally squatting down to draw a few strokes, then erasing and starting over, studying diligently.

The day he witnessed the lightning strike the stone forest deeply moved him.

Thunder roared down, the might of heaven was overwhelming.

That pure, destructive power deeply shocked him, and the scene left him with many feelings.

Although he does not practice Thunder Method, the Dao of Talismans emphasizes "taking the essence of heaven and earth and containing it within a small space," which is a profound subject.

The trajectory of the lightning, guided by the stone pillar.

The naturally formed layout, the masterpiece of nature, all of this is so similar to a formation.

It also contains the essence of heaven and earth, with its contraction and expansion moving at will and following one's thoughts. How similar is this to the "beginning stroke, trend, and ending stroke" of the Dao of talismans?

Sun Lin devoted himself to research, attempting to incorporate the laws governing the movement of heavenly lightning into his talisman-drawing techniques, thereby refining his talisman-making skills...

I failed countless times.

Hundreds of talismans were burned, three jars of spiritual ink were used up, and new calluses formed on his fingertips, but in the process of repeated practice, he frequently gained insights.

After more than a month of repeated attempts, he drew a talisman that he had never drawn before.

On the surface of the talisman, the trajectory of the spiritual light is no longer the regular arc of traditional talismans, but carries a sharp, lightning-like edge.

Sun Lin stared at the talisman in his palm, remaining silent for a long time.

He tore it up.

Redraw.

Tearing it again.

Draw it again.

Time flies, day after day, and the talismanic arts in his hands become more and more Tongming, his techniques more and more fluid, and he has developed his own unique understanding of the rules.

His cultivation level also quietly broke through from the Fifth Layer of Qi Refining to the sixth level through this relentless practice day and night. His mind was as still as water, and he remained calm and undisturbed.

Two months and nine days.

Shi Jian has emerged from seclusion. More than two months have passed, and his injuries have mostly healed.

The broken coccyx was reattached, new flesh grew on the shoulder blades, and the limbs moved freely without leaving any hidden dangers.

The only problem was that its fur hadn't fully grown in yet; it was patchy and looked like it had been chewed by a dog, extremely unsightly...

But his eyes changed.

From the depths of those enormous eyes, a glimmer of silver light would occasionally flash and disappear in an instant, impossible to detect unless one was deliberately trying to catch it.

After more than two months of contemplation, I have grasped some basic principles of the Lightning Origin within my body. Although it's not much, it's enough.

At least for now, Shi Jian is able to actively guide the flow of that lightning power, instead of letting it wander aimlessly...

Although his injuries had improved, Shi Jian was not in a hurry to leave.

He stood in the center of the stone forest, looking around.

To him, this place was far more valuable than a Spirit Vein.

Every two or three months, there is an opportunity for him to be struck by heavenly lightning, which is the best place for him to cultivate and comprehend the Dao.

In addition, the abundant Lightning Spirit energy throughout the stone forest can nurture various thunder- Spirit Plant...

He can't just leave like that.

However, he could not stay here permanently. Hongtian City was his true home, and without him, the Sun Clan would ultimately lack a pillar of support.

He also needed the Sun Clan's support to plot against other spiritual objects...

Therefore, he needs a doorman.
