Thunder God Eye
Before the Black Old Ox could say anything upon seeing Ji An appear, the Yellow Big Bear pointed at Ji An and said, "You, you—you could have killed Mighty Warrior if you had just held on a little longer! Why did you give up at the last moment!"
"Do you know what it would be like if you could obtain your master's supernatural powers—"
"In the future, you'll have a great chance to transcend the Three Realms and become a Celestial Heavenly Immortal, or even roam freely throughout the Three Realms," the Yellow-Haired Giant Bear roared. "Even if you were to establish a vast dynasty like the Great Xia Dynasty that lasts for hundreds of millions of years, it wouldn't be difficult for you."
Upon hearing this, Ji An said to the Yellow Big Bear, "Senior, I also have my reasons. I think the other supernatural abilities are quite good. As for the First Divine Ability, I would recommend someone. I think he is more suitable than me to inherit this Water Manor."
Upon hearing this, the Yellow Big Bear was visibly taken aback. "Recommend someone? Is it the person you want to share the inheritance with?"
The Black Old Ox had overheard Ji An's conversation with him when he first entered. At the time, it assumed Ji An was unaware of the Water Manor's value, hence his words. But judging from the situation, was he really serious?
"You think his talent is better than yours? You've also felt the difficulty of this Divine Ability Hall, haven't you? Even you barely met the requirements."
In the countless years since the birth of the Yellow Big Bear, Ji An was the best genius it had ever seen.
"Senior, although that person is not as powerful as me right now, I believe he is definitely the successor you desire."
"Sigh." The Yellow Big Bear sighed, "Since you've made up your mind, I won't say anything more."
37
"Since that's the case, senior, which level of divine power can I obtain?" Ji An asked.
"Sigh, you only need to kill one more wave and they'll all be wiped out." The Yellow-Haired Giant Bear's eyes held a complex expression. "It's the second divine power. Come with me."
It grabbed Ji An.
Wow.
The space shifted, and Ji An and the Yellow Big Bear returned to the hazy gray space once again.
However, this time the space had changed. Ji An noticed that the space here was starting to distort, and there was even a strange feeling, sometimes feeling very long and sometimes very short.
The Yellow Big Bear explained, "This is the imminent manifestation of the legacy left by our master. The surrounding Space-Time is beginning to isolate itself. Once completely isolated, time will be virtually frozen relative to the outside world. What happens inside a hundred years will be like a single breath outside."
"If only I could cultivate here for a long time," Ji An murmured.
A misty haze surrounded them, Ji An and the Yellow Big Bear stood above the fog, where the previously distorted Space-Time had calmed down.
Ji An looked into the distance. In the depths of the endless, misty void, stood a magnificent building that shone with Golden Light. It was shaped like Altar, with layers of steps leading straight to the top.
After meeting the Yellow Big Bear, he strode towards the building. With each step he covered several miles, the building became clearer and clearer, and the Golden Light became even more dazzling. The endless pressure made Ji An's heart tremble.
A moment later, the two arrived at the bottom of the Altar. Ji An looked up and saw that there were probably thousands of steps leading to the top.
"Go," the Yellow Big Bear said, looking up at the Altar. "Because you can only accept the second supernatural power, you'll be stopped by a spatial barrier when you reach two-thirds of the way—you—never mind."
"Mm." Ji An nodded.
With this supernatural power, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to kill those Myriad Phenomena Godfiend.
The only supernatural power he currently possesses is the "Windwing Evasion," which is merely a skill-based technique and doesn't possess much real power.
This supernatural power is different. As mentioned in the original work, if Ji Ning had obtained it, he could have killed Perfected Xuli mid-stage cultivator of the Myriad Phenomena, with it. It is a true offensive supernatural power.
As soon as Ji An landed, a loud "boom" resounded in Ji An soul. The moment his right foot touched the inheritance Altar, countless ancient messages flooded into his soul, merging into his memories piece by piece.
The passing on of tradition has begun!
Ji An was prepared, so he quickly became immersed in the countless ancient messages.
One step, then another, and yet another—
The message entered Ji An's soul in small, fragmented pieces.
Give Ji An a period of adjustment.
As a truly powerful supernatural technique, although it is not as powerful as "Star Seizing Hand," Ji An's soul is not as powerful as Ji Ning's in the original work.
If all the information were to flood Ji An's soul in an instant, he would probably become an idiot.
"It's begun." The Yellow-Haired Giant Bear below the Altar looked up as Ji An walked step by step up the Altar steps. His eyes were filled with complex emotions and sighs. "If only he had inherited the master's supernatural powers. I hope he wasn't lying to me. The person he recommended is indeed more suitable than him."
"Owner--"
In its heart, there is only one true master, and that is the first master.
The four subsequent generations of masters, including Ji An, were actually chosen as successors by the first master. Unfortunately, from the second to the fourth generation, none of them even obtained the First Divine Ability.
It originally thought that Ji An would be the first person to inherit the First Divine Ability, but it did not expect that he would give it up.
Now, including Ji An, none of the four of them can really be considered the master's true successors.
Step by step.
Ji An walked up the steps of the Altar step by step, not knowing how long he had walked, until he was stopped by the invisible spatial barrier and regained his senses.
When Ji An regained consciousness, the information about this supernatural technique had been integrated into his soul through special means, as if each word had been imprinted into his soul. Ji An couldn't forget it even if he wanted to, and no one could search his soul.
"I didn't expect it to be this," Ji An to himself. "The supernatural power, 'Thunder God Eye'."
Once the "Thunder God Eye" is mastered and activated, it allows one to see gods, ghosts, and the netherworld. Nothing can hide from this divine eye. Furthermore, at its peak, it can unleash the "Violet Heavens Divine Thunder," which even Vajra most indestructible body would not dare to be struck by.
"This divine ability was left behind by my master's eldest disciple. It was also the most powerful divine ability he cultivated. Although it is not as powerful as my master's divine ability, it can still rank among the top 100 in the entire Three Realms." Yellow Big Bear appeared next to Ji An.
Since things have come to this point, it has no choice but to accept it.
Ji An nodded slightly.
He had only read descriptions of "Star Seizing Hand" in novels from his previous life, but he had truly inherited "Thunder God Eye".
Having received the inheritance of this supernatural power, he was very clear about how terrifying it was, with power far beyond imagination.
"Regardless, you have acquired this supernatural power."
As it spoke, it grabbed Ji An's hand once more, and the two "instantly appeared at the top of the Altar."
The Yellow Big Bear pointed to a huge prayer mat in the distance, "Go to that prayer mat and kneel down to thank your master."
"Hmm," Ji An said.
Ji An stepped forward, walked directly to the prayer mat, and then knelt down.
As soon as he knelt down, two imposing figures, one large and one small, appeared in the distance on the top platform of the Altar, directly in front of Ji An.
The largest figure was a bronze-colored, bald giant, a thousand feet tall, dressed in simple animal skins, with a human-like body but only one arm.
The smaller figure was also several hundred feet tall, with a well-proportioned body, no different from a human, except for a third eye embedded in its forehead.
The small figure looked down at Ji An and said, "Your supernatural powers have been bestowed upon you. Only when you transcend the Heavenly Tribulation and become Heavenly God can you be considered a disciple of my master, Daoist Three Lives. Do not slack off and tarnish my master's reputation." Then, a beam of light shone from the forehead of this towering figure directly towards Ji An.
After the light merged with Ji An, the two towering figures disappeared.
"Ugh!" Ji An's pupils contracted sharply, and as the light merged in, a phantom eye slowly condensed on his forehead.
He immediately sat cross-legged, and the radiance seemed to condense continuously on his forehead as if it were alive.
In an instant, fine lightning patterns emanated from his body, and the top of the Altar was illuminated as a purple-gold Golden Thunder.
"Sizzle-"
Thunder Dao energy pulsed between Ji An's brows, and profound runes appeared in the illusory image of his vertical pupils.
As the runes flowed, the Thunder Light around Ji An gradually subsided, eventually condensing into a dark purple Thunder divine pattern imprinted deep within his pupils.
As the last glimmer of lightning disappeared, Ji An's aura suddenly intensified, his hair moved without wind, and a faint rumble of thunder echoed in the void.
"Whoosh."
Everything quieted down, and the illusory image on Ji An's forehead disappeared.
Ji An slowly opened his eyes. With a thought, a phantom image appeared on his forehead, within which purple lightning flickered.
He stroked his brow and murmured, "Penetrating the netherworld, divine thunder arises spontaneously... Is this the First Tribulation realm of 'Thunder God Eye'?"
Every supernatural power requires a long period of cultivation and cannot be achieved overnight. Even techniques like "Law of Heaven and Earth Transformation" and "Windwing Evasion" are divided into many stages.
The cultivation method for the "Divine Thunder God Eye" is called "Three Tribulations Thunder Eye".
Only after the Violet Palace Godfiend Body Refining and Myriad Phenomena level, can one begin to refine the First Tribulation.
The Primordial Spirit, Void Returning, can then cultivate the Second Tribulation.
Heavenly Gods and True Gods can cultivate the third tribulation.
Of course, even within the same level, there are differences.
For example, although the divine lightning cultivated First Tribulation was only of the Earth Rank, it was still Thunder.
Even if one cultivates further, the Violet Palace can only reach the fifth-grade Earth Rank Divine Thunder level, which can only affect beings at the Myriad Phenomena level.
Then Myriad Phenomena can cultivate the first-grade Earth Rank divine lightning, and at that time even a Primordial Spirit Daoist can be struck to death!
The Second Tribulation is the Heaven Rank Divine Lightning.
The third tribulation is the True Thunder level of Thunder. "The Violet Heavens Divine Thunder," cultivated to its extreme, is a True Thunder level of Thunder, only a more powerful type among them.
"The supernatural power you received is the original version," the Yellow-Haired Giant Bear said from the side. "Even if you cultivate to the level of the first master, this supernatural power will be enough for you. As for your previous 'Windwing Evasion,' it was merely a simplified version."
"This supernatural power was something my master traded with the Thunder God back then."
Ji An nodded slightly.
"I don't know, who were those two I just saw?" Ji An asked. He only knew the one with one arm, but the smaller one hadn't appeared in the original story.
Upon hearing this, the Yellow Big Bear said to Ji An, "Ji An, do you know that even gods and demons have different origins?"
Ji An shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
"In the beginning of the Three Realms, even before Pangu separated Heaven and Earth, there was only chaos. From that chaos, some ancient and powerful gods and demons were born. Pangu and Nüwa are examples of gods and demons born from chaos. These Chaos Godfiend varied in strength, but the strongest among them was naturally Pangu!"
"Pangu separated Heaven and Earth Heaven and Earth, some living beings began to emerge from them. These beings, born from Heaven and Earth, were also known as Xiantian Godfiend."
"After many changes, the Three Thousand Great Worlds were born. During the gestation of each Great World, some gods and demons would appear. These were the most ordinary gods and demons."
"Generally speaking, gods and demons are divided into Chaos Godfiend and Demons, Xiantian Godfiend, and Ordinary Godfiend according to their origin." The Yellow Big Bear looked at Ji An, "And the master is one of the Chaos Godfiend, while that smaller figure is the master's eldest disciple, a Xiantian Godfiend, who was the master's first disciple."
"However, after our master and his six disciples left back then, they never returned—"
"You don't need to fight any more." The Yellow Big Bear looked at Ji An. "The Universe has gone through many eras, and now it is the era of the Heavenly Court coordinating and governing the Three Realms. For you, some ancient things are too ancient, and knowing them is useless, only adding to your troubles."
"It's best if you learn about your master's affairs after you've become stronger."
Ji An nodded.
"It's time to go out now," said the Yellow Big Bear.
"Alright, thank you for your trouble, senior. In a few years, a Xiantian Godfiend who cultivates the 'Crimsonbright Nine Heavens Diagram' will come. At that time, you can set a test for him." Ji An said to the Yellow Big Bear.
I've taken everything I was entitled to. Now I can go back and say goodbye to my family, and then I can go out and gain some experience.
"Alright, hopefully, by then, that person will have your talent, just as you said." The Yellow Big Bear nodded, then grabbed Ji An and vanished into thin air.
It was early morning when I arrived, but now it's evening, and the outline of the sun can still be seen in the west.
The bottom of Winged Serpent Lake is near the shore.
Wow!
A figure shot into the sky; it was Ji An, who had just been teleported out of the Zha Shui Buddha.
"Windwing Evasion!" Ji An unleashed the Windwing Evasion, transforming into a streak of Flowing Light that far surpassed the speed of sound, instantly covering dozens of miles.
Ji An transformed into Flowing Light and quietly returned to the Western Temple of the Ji Clan.
He went to Ji Ning's room without disturbing his parents.
Ji Ning was meditating cross-legged on the "Crimsonbright Nine Heavens Diagram," with the Power of the Sun faintly flowing around him. He sensed the fluctuations in the air inside the room, and when he opened his eyes, he saw his elder brother standing in the moonlight.
"Brother?" Ji Ning stood up in surprise, but seeing Ji An making a hushed gesture, he immediately fell silent.
Ji An smiled gently and said, "I will immediately go to the Qiuji clan for training and will return in eight years."
Seeing that Ji Ning was about to speak, he raised his hand to stop him. "When you break through the sixth level of the Crimsonbright Nine Heavens Diagram and reach the Xiantian Complete Realm, go to the heart of Winged Serpent Lake. There is a celestial being there who will guide you in. Don't tell anyone about this opportunity, not even your parents, understand?"
Ji Ning nodded emphatically.
Having read the ancient texts, he naturally knew what kind of opportunity it was to become a celestial being. Although the books said it was dangerous, he believed that Ji An would not harm him.
