Born with immortal seed

Chapter 803 The Living Thor
Despite not being refined, the Overturning Sea Sword moved with ease in the hands of the blue-robed cultivator, encountering no obstacles whatsoever.

Just like using each other for many years, developing an ultimate tacit understanding.

He raised his hand and slashed forward, creating a blank space in front of the god.

Air, clouds, sound, spiritual energy...

Even time itself doesn't exist; it's the purest void, allowing this deity to cross over.

In mythology, the Thunder God, the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation of Thunder in the Nine Heavens, finally sensed this deity at the last moment after ten years of interaction with the Sword Lord of Time.

The power it attracts can instantly transform a cultivator with no foundation into a master of lightning magic, a powerful figure who has been immersed in it for a hundred years.

If he continues his studies in the future, his learning speed will be comparable to that of a cultivator who possesses the true form of Red.

Compared to other immortals and gods, this is far more powerful than simply infusing power.

However, this boost was far from enough for Ge Cang, who had already cultivated the spiritual power of thunder magic when he reached the Core Formation stage and comprehended the coexistence of yin and yang as soon as he transformed into an infant.

He is already a thunder cultivator standing at the pinnacle of the cultivation world. If we want him to undergo a qualitative change, this external force would have to be increased tenfold or a hundredfold.

Fortunately, Bai Zichen discovered, based on the Xuanzhou's method of cultivating the divine summoning technique, that the power bestowed by the gods could continue to grow stronger through constant communication.

Almost every tribe of the Xuanzhou human race worships a deity, some of which are the spirits of their ancestors, and some are gods whose names have been passed down from ancient times.

The longer the worship is performed, the greater the power that the gods can bestow.

Some large clans, whose lineage has been passed down for tens of thousands of years without interruption, can even summon divine projections to directly fight against their enemies.

This was also the main means of resistance for the human race in Xuanzhou when the two races were so vastly different in strength.

If a tribe is destroyed, the gods will also suffer a great loss of energy, and after regrouping, they will basically have to return to their original state.

If this happens several times in a row, future generations may never be able to communicate with this deity again, and the true spirit will cease to exist.

With the Ghost and God Position Chart in place, every deity that Bai Zichen interacts with has a clear target, and even the lowest-ranking Earth God and River God will not disappear without a reason.

Even after he received the blessing of the Lord of the Purple Star of the Central Heaven, all the immortals and gods ranked after him could actively choose to sense him.

In this respect, it is an advantage that no cultivator who practices the art of summoning spirits can match.

Now that he understood that time could strengthen the communion with the divine, Bai Zichen had a new idea.

This sword strike contains all the true essence of time that can be mobilized under normal circumstances, solely to create a space where time is disordered.

When used in normal combat, it has no practical effect and will immediately disappear as soon as the external true intention touches it.

But then a deity without a physical form appeared and took the initiative to enter, and everything changed.

Only an existence like Him can enter and exit without leaving any negative impact.

One step in, one step out.

The Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation of Thunder in the Nine Heavens has experienced countless years. His body is covered with thousands of lightning bolts, and his left hand holds the Jade Pivot Thunder, the Divine Firmament Thunder, the Great Cave Thunder, the Immortal Capital Thunder, and the Arctic Thunder.

The right hand contains Taiyi Thunder, Zifu Thunder, Yuchen Thunder, Taixiao Thunder, and Taiji Thunder.

Every inch of his body was covered in different divine lightning, leaving every lightning cultivator dumbfounded.

Many legendary thunder techniques in the cultivation world were manifested in him.

If they could get close to it, it would be a great thing for any lightning cultivator.

This is the ancestor of thunder, the supreme ruler of the five thunders, who universally transforms all living beings, and the god who rewards good and punishes evil.

The lightning on his body wasn't particularly dazzling or powerful, yet it still managed to steal a portion of the splendor from the distant Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation.

As the cultivator in blue pointed forward, the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation and Responding to the Origin of Thunder directly struck Ge Cang, who was undergoing tribulation, and merged into his body.

"Thunder is the pivot of Yin and Yang, commanding the very essence of all things..."

Ge Cang shuddered, opened his eyes, and felt that the whole world was very different again.

His body, which had been exhausted, was now surging with a new strength, without the slightest sense of alienation.

The ancient thunder pool, which was originally dormant and rigid, can now be sensed to contain traces of thunder power. As long as one reaches out, it will be attached to the pool.

The unstoppable black lightning overhead, threatening to drag everything into destruction, seemed to have found a flaw, an opening to exploit.

"This feeling is exactly the same as when I first digested the lightning mark... no, it's even deeper and more profound!"

Ge Cang pointed his lightning staff at the black lightning, and despite his frail body, a stalemate was achieved.

The ancient thunder pool beneath him glowed, and one after another, the lower thunder pools responded, like stars surrounding the moon, transmitting the power of thunder to the highest point.

It's not just about returning to normal, but also about taking a drastic, all-out approach, regardless of the cost.

It is clear that many of the mines have run dry, a phenomenon that would not occur even if they were used multiple times in a row.

The black lightning shattered into pieces, actually being struck by the lightning staff into arcs of lightning that bounced around wildly before disappearing without a trace.

Before they could even rejoice, the last bolt of heavenly lightning struck during the Jade Purity Brahma Qi Chaos Tribulation.

It was a chaotic thunder that could not be described by a single color; it was a mixture of all sorts of colors.

It encompasses everything and devours all things.

It was not as swift as the previous bolts of lightning, nor as bloodthirsty and malevolent, nor did it possess the aura of annihilation.

But once encountered, it will become part of the Chaos Divine Thunder, assimilated into the most primal power of thunder.

The founder of the Five Thunder Sect almost perished at this juncture.

Fortunately, the Thunder God's magical treasure blocked the calamity, thus changing his fate against all odds.

However, Ge Cang did not back down at all; instead, his eyes burned even brighter, and he made a new breakthrough in his understanding of the true meaning of thunder.

He thrust his thunder staff upwards, and it transformed into a thunder dragon, swallowing the chaotic divine thunder.

I'll do the opposite; before you even have a chance to devour me, I'll devour you first.

The thunder dragon's body rolled and writhed, and in the next moment it looked as if it was about to be burst apart by the chaotic divine lightning, but it miraculously persevered.

After repeating this several times, Ge Cang was drenched in sweat and collapsed to the ground once more.

This time, they truly squeezed out every last bit of their true essence, but since they were at the very last moment of their tribulation, what did it matter if they overdraw their source?

As long as one can achieve the Divine Transformation stage, all the sacrifices will be worthwhile.

Click!Click!
The sound of breaking did not come from the thunder dragon above, but from Ge Cang's two arms, where the arm bones broke directly.

Thunder magic is harmful to the body; this has always been the case.

But at this level, either one has used body-tempering techniques to strengthen their physical body to the point where they can easily withstand the backlash of lightning magic, or one possesses the Thunder Saint Body, which allows them to transform into lightning long ago.

In that case, even the strongest lightning magic would not be able to harm the body, which is also part of lightning.

Ge Cang originally took the latter route, but after pouring all his essence, energy, and spirit into the Thunder Dragon and overdrawing his own source, he was unable to resist the backlash from the violent thunder magic.

A series of crackling sounds as the green beans popped open made him collapse, as if he had broken countless bones.

But his eyes were almost gleaming with a sharp light, and his intense thoughts were almost tangible as he stared intently at the Thunder Dragon.

The further it went, the more adept Lei Long became, mainly because the power of the Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin of Thunder and Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable permeated the area more deeply.

With a deafening roar, the thunder dragon charged towards the eye of the tribulation cloud, only to explode halfway through its flight.

However, the Chaos Heavenly Lightning also exhausted its power inside the Thunder Dragon's belly and could no longer continue.

The eyes of the calamity cloud seemed to let out a mournful cry, then dispersed unwillingly, revealing the vast blue sky once more.

As the power of creation surged forth, Ge Cang, who was on the verge of death, was instantly revived and fully recovered from his serious injuries.

His gray hair turned into long, jet-black hair at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his aura became unfathomable, as deep as the ocean.

The realm behind them, which had originally shattered into nothingness, was reshaped by the power of creation.

This time, however, the scenery of the cave was completely different from its original form.

Gone is the ancient Jianmu tree that accompanied us for a thousand years; instead, there is a towering immortal mountain that reaches into the clouds, with divine thunder reaching its peak.

On the mountain are the East and West Huatai, the Xuanguan Miaoge, the four prefectures and six academies, as well as various departments and bureaus. Hundreds of buildings rise from the ground, forming a majestic palace complex.

As for why the grotto-heaven became like this, that is not something that outsiders can know.

Only the Nascent Soul cultivator himself knows the true wonders of his grotto-heaven.

"Congratulations to my senior master on breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage and achieving the divine power of thunder magic, which will illuminate the ten continents and eight seas."

Song Ding led his fellow disciples to the foot of Five Thunder Peak and loudly offered his congratulations.

The sound echoed around, drawing the gazes of many more Five Thunder Sect cultivators, their expressions complex.

"However, you've managed to get there first; the old Taoist priest is waiting for you ahead."

Ge Cang's robes had been destroyed in the heavenly tribulation, and he was now wearing a lightning robe, which made him appear simple and unassuming, without a trace of power.

The immortal mountain palace behind them gradually disappeared, all shrinking back into their brows, leaving a faint lightning mark.

He exchanged another glance with the blue-robed cultivator in the distance. Upon seeing Ge Cang transform into a Nascent Soul cultivator, he smiled with delight, and the blue light dispersed into the air.

"The members of the Five Thunder Sect congratulate the senior. With the completion of the Thunder Ancestor's Sacred Body, he is now a living Thunder God, and his position has been established..."

Master Lin felt a pang of bitterness in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face, so he knelt on the ground to offer his congratulations.

Who would have thought that a cultivator could successfully overcome the Jade Purity Brahma Chaos Tribulation?

Although it seems that most of the credit should be attributed to the off-field tactics that appeared later.

It's a fact that he has become a Nascent Soul cultivator, and no matter how envious or resentful the Five Thunder Sect cultivators are, it's to no avail.

The thought of lending out the Ancient Thunder Pool to create a Nascent Soul cultivator with the Thunder Ancestor's Sacred Body made Sect Leader Lin feel like a million ants were crawling all over him, causing him immense distress.

This means that once Ge Cang develops any disloyal intentions, the Five Thunder Sect will be completely unprepared for him, able to come and go as they please, and empty the treasure vault in an instant.

'Enough, enough, what's the point of thinking about that... Those two fellow disciples, both at the Nascent Soul stage, even without the Thunder Ancestor's Sacred Body, could easily defeat our sect.'

Once he understood this, Sect Leader Lin was no longer so conflicted.

"Young friend, please rise... Your sect has provided much assistance in helping you overcome this tribulation. If you have any questions in the future, you may come to this old Taoist for answers."

Ge Cang turned around and looked at the dried-up ancient thunder pool and the other ordinary thunder pools, and said in a deep voice.

He knew that Bai Zichen must have exerted a great deal of effort for the Five Thunder Sect to agree to lend out the Ancient Thunder Pool.

But since he has transformed into a deity here, occupied a piece of land, and formed a karmic connection, it is worth making a promise.

"Thank you so much, senior! Thank you so much, senior!"

Sect Leader Lin was overjoyed. To receive such a promise from a newly born Nascent Soul cultivator was an unparalleled honor for the Five Thunder Sect.

Given the reputation of the Qingfeng Sect, if they ever encounter difficulties in the future and seek help from Ge Cang, they will surely receive a response.

Unlike some cultivators who merely offer a polite greeting.

Watching Ge Cang and the Qingfeng Sect disciples leave, the Five Thunder Sect cultivators breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a sense of loss.

As a sacred place of thunder magic in the cultivation world, the sect does not even have a Great True Monarch. Now, another cultivator has transformed into a god through the thunder path, which has nothing to do with the Five Thunder Sect.

Over time, people will begin to doubt the honor of the Thunder Magic Holy Land, thus creating a vicious cycle.

Perhaps in another hundred years, those young cultivators who demonstrate top-tier talent in the Dao of Thunder will choose the Azure Maple Sect instead of the Five Thunder Sect.

"Yu Zi, when the Thunder Apricot Divine Tree bears fruit, you will be the one to consume the first Thunder Apricot Fruit..."

Sect Leader Lin stared at the disciples who were going forward to repair the Thunder Pool, and said without turning his head.

Normally, only one Lei Xing fruit grows every three thousand years.

Even though it has been dead for years, it still absorbs energy, but it doesn't flower or bear fruit. It has long since accumulated the energy for many fruits.

Once fully recovered, the first few Lei apricots should grow in a very short time.

"Will my fellow disciples agree?"

Lin Yuzi has already reached the peak of Core Formation. Even without the Thunder Apricot Fruit, he will definitely embark on the path of Nascent Soul Transformation within thirty years.

With the Changchun Holy Water proven effective, the Thunder Apricot Divine Tree will become the top priority for everyone in the Five Thunder Sect.

Let alone the divine fruit, even a single leaf or broken branch is subject to strict supervision, with countless eyes watching.

"I've been the sect leader for so many years, and I don't even have this much power. Then I might as well let them do it!"

Sect Leader Lin snorted coldly, determined to obtain the Thunder Apricot Fruit.

Besides the most direct effect of transforming the infant into a 50% infant, the deeper benefit is that it allows the user to undergo a complete transformation, turning them into a Thunder Path Saint Body.

In any case, cultivators who consumed Thunder Apricots throughout history have all experienced tremendous changes in their physical bodies.

Some even had their appearance altered, becoming ugly and grotesque, because they couldn't refine the terrifying true meaning of thunder within it.

It wasn't until it was completely refined that it returned to its normal form.

Lin Yuzi was not only his most promising direct disciple, but her talent and aptitude were also far ahead of the younger generation in the Five Thunder Sect.

……

Qingxia Cave.

"Senior brother truly lives up to his word. A Nascent Soul cultivator with lightning cultivation—it's been so many years since anyone in the cultivation world has achieved that!"

Bai Zichen smiled and clapped his hands. Even with so many preparations, he still had no confidence in achieving the Nascent Soul stage.

He remained anxious until the last tribulation dissipated; it had been a long time since he had felt this way.

"It was all thanks to my junior brother's efforts, otherwise I would have died long ago."

Ge Cang looked much younger, and the air of old age was no longer visible.

Perhaps because he had just broken through, there were still some minor lightning bolts emanating from him as he walked.

At this point, it's no longer him controlling the thunder magic; man is thunder, and thunder is man.

Like the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Five Thunder Sect, whose Great Dao Divine Power was to transform his body into heavenly thunder and completely merge with the Great Dao.

Although he didn't know the origin of the god who merged into his body at the last moment, Ge Cang knew very well from the beginning that without this junior brother, he would never have been able to successfully become a god.

"But I did some trivial things."

Bai Zichen waved his hand lightly, a great sense of accomplishment rising in his heart.

"Where does Senior Brother plan to choose as his training ground next?"
