Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 203 The Dao Body of Absolute Lightning (10,000-word update, please subscribe)

After the Divine Thunder Talisman is made, the rest is to nurture it with the fundamental spiritual power of the Dao.

This takes time and cannot be accomplished overnight.

Shen Xuan would not use the Divine Thunder Talisman unless absolutely necessary.

The mastery of [Thor's Wrath] gave him more confidence.

It's not just used to refine magical talismans.

In combating demonic cultivators, this gives him a significant advantage.

However, Shen Xuan's opponents have never been those demonic cultivators.

In the practice room.

He stared at the essence blood of the purple electric dragon eel on the table.

Shen Xuan was full of anticipation.

The mysterious jade talisman flashed with a golden light.

[Plunderable Talents: Purple Lightning, Absolute Lightning Body, Dragon's Might, Sharp Fangs]

This time, Shen Xuan did not choose the Thunder Law Bloodline talent.

While [Purple Lightning] is good, it cannot compare to [Wrath of the Thunder God].

[Talent: Absolute Lightning Body (18/100)]

【Daoyun: 468】

He chose the [Electricity-Free Body].

This is a special body structure of the purple electric eel, similar to an insulator, which can greatly reduce electrical damage.

Simply put, it increases lightning resistance.

The purple lightning emitted by the Purple Lightning Dragon Eel can instantly kill Foundation Establishment cultivators and second-tier demonic beasts, yet it remains unharmed.

This is because of the existence of the [Electric Dao Body].

Looking at the Daoist rhythm again, it reached over four hundred points at a time.

As expected of a water demon with the bloodline of a divine dragon.

Three months later.

Shen Xuan finished refining all the essence blood of the Purple Lightning Dragon Eel.

[Talent: Proficient in the Dao Body of Absolute Lightning (36/200)]

【Daoyun: 4320】

Shen Xuan tried it.

He cast the [Overturning Sea Lightning Technique].

Soon, a bright blue arc of lightning lit up his palm.

The "Overturning Sea Lightning Technique" is only at a minor level.

When unleashed at full power, its might is comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment stage Thunder Magic cultivator.

A "sizzling" sound rang out.

The lightning arcs grew increasingly dazzling, and the booming sound, though not loud, sent chills down one's spine.

This is due to the natural fear that humans have of lightning.

Shen Xuan's divine sense stirred slightly.

The lightning arcs on his hand suddenly surged.

It then turned and returned to strike Shen Xuan, whose protective spiritual shield had been activated.

"Crack!"

Shen Xuan felt a slight numbness in his body.

Soon, the [Overwhelming Lightning] dissipated.

Shen Xuan sensed his physical condition.

Aside from the initial feeling of numbness.

He was completely unharmed.

"Not bad. I can now withstand a full-force attack from a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator!"

Sure enough, his lightning resistance was already high.

After being empowered with the [Isolation Body], the physical body becomes almost immune to attacks from ordinary lightning.

"We cannot let our guard down. The [Isolation Body] is not immune to all lightning attacks."

According to Shen Xuan's understanding, the lightning insulation function of the [Electricity Insulation Body] is also limited.

Although it can insulate against most lightning strikes.

However, excessive electricity can also cause damage.

Shen Xuan lowered his head and pondered for a while.

Now, thanks to the essence blood provided by the Jade Spirit Clam every month, the [Water Spirit Absorption] talent has also successfully advanced to the Great Perfection level.

Among the talent skills, only [Bringing in Wealth and Treasure], [Soaring Through the Clouds], [Sharp Teeth], [Overturning the Sea with Lightning], and [Gliding Through the Air] still have room for improvement.

Of these talents and skills, the first three don't need to be rushed.

The latter two are optional.

Reactivate and experience the [Absolute Electricity Body] talent skill.

It's somewhat similar to [Concealing Breath].

It can be continuously activated with minimal consumption of spiritual energy.

You can almost passively cultivate, and your skill points increase quickly.

However, considering that things can change in any situation.

To prevent accidents.

Shen Xuan still added all of his more than 4,000 points of Daoist essence to the [Lightning Daoist Body].

[Talent: Proficiency in the Dao Body of Absolute Lightning (328/400)]

Sure enough, the rarer the talent skill, the slower the increase in Dao points.

The Dao Points plundered from the Purple Lightning Dragon Eel were only enough to advance the [Absolute Lightning Dao Body] to the Proficiency level.

I tried using [Overturning the Sea and Lightning] again.

It had absolutely no effect on his physical body; even the slightest numbness disappeared.

He did not use [Thor's Wrath].

What a joke!
A fully-developed version of [Thor's Wrath] is enough to destroy any Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Even if he can withstand it, there's no need to test it.

Being struck by lightning can easily lead to sequelae such as skin damage, bone damage, nerve damage, and impaired heart function. Shen Xuan was unwilling to invite such suffering.

After finishing his practice, Shen Xuan walked out of the training room.

He summoned the White Lotus Fairy.

"what is this?"

Looking at the unfamiliar water demon corpse that was ten feet long, Bai Lian asked in surprise.

"A mid-grade second-tier water demon, the Purple Lightning Dragon Eel. It possesses the bloodline of a divine dragon."

"nice one!"

The White Lotus Fairy immediately sensed the extraordinary nature of the Purple Lightning Dragon Eel.

"150,000 spirit stones. Go ask Patriarch Zhou."

"it is good!"

The White Lotus Fairy readily agreed.

The purple electric dragon eel is not as good as the three-legged water fox.

Divine dragon bloodline, lightning attacks.

These two points alone are enough to impress the Zhou family head.

Two days later, the Zhou family head personally came to Tingyuxuan.

After some haggling...

Based on the friendly cooperative relationship, Shen Xuan lowered the price slightly.

It was sold for 120,000 spirit stones.

After the transaction was completed.

The two chatted for a while.

The Zhou family head bluntly stated that Qingyang Prefecture was about to descend into chaos.

“Apart from our Zhou, Zhao, and Su families, the other cultivation families in Qingyang Prefecture are either neutral or have sided with the Blood Spirit Sect.”

This surprised Shen Xuan.

"How could this be? Aren't they afraid of the Qingyun Sect settling scores with them later?"

"They are even more afraid that the Blood Spirit Sect will wipe out their entire clan right now!"

Patriarch Zhou sighed, "I don't know why, but this time, the Qingyun Sect is slow to act. They haven't sent any powerful cultivators to Qingyang Prefecture to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path."

Shen Xuan was equally puzzled.

A year ago, the Qingyun Sect issued a sect mission, successively dispatching more than 30 Foundation Establishment cultivators to Qingyang Prefecture.

However, the result was far from ideal.

Over the past year, many Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Qingyun Sect have been injured, and more than a dozen have been withdrawn and returned to the sect.

After that, no new Foundation Establishment cultivators came.

As a result, the Qingyun Sect's influence in Qingyang Prefecture greatly diminished, and it ceased its activities, allowing the demonic cultivators to attack cities, seize territory, and expand their power.

The Zhou family head looked up at Shen Xuan.

"Does Master Shen know the inside story?"

Shen Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"That's strange!"

Patriarch Zhou pondered for a moment and said, "So, it seems that the higher-ups of the Qingyun Sect have disagreements on how to quell the demonic chaos in Qingyang Prefecture!"

Shen Xuan agreed: "It's very likely what Brother Zhou said."

In fact, not long ago, Qin Yuehan and Lü Zhengying each wrote to me.

Tell him that the conflict between the Daoist and Demonic factions in the Song and Liang states is quite large in scale.

The border region between the two countries has been completely ravaged.

The higher-ups of the Qingyun Sect intend to abandon some remote areas.

Qingyang Prefecture is located there.

However, this matter is still under discussion.

There is no definitive conclusion.

Shen Xuan could only wait and see.

If the Qingyun Sect decides to abandon the Qingyang Prefecture.

Shen Xuan immediately returned to his sect.

It won't take a single day longer.

This is also why he hunts the purple electric dragon eel.

The 【Absolute Electricity Body】 talent was specifically designed to defend against Lei Yaoyang.

Shen Xuan exchanged pleasantries with the Zhou family head for a while.

Before parting, the Zhou family head asked Shen Xuan to be more tolerant of Zhou Bailian.

"My daughter is spoiled. If she does anything wrong, I beg Master Shen to consider my feelings and not hold it against her."

"Brother Zhou, you flatter me! Bai Lian and I consider each other lifelong friends and get along very well. Brother Zhou, there's no need to worry!"

The Zhou family head gave Shen Xuan a meaningful look, shook his head, sighed, and took his leave.

After the Zhou family head's figure disappeared.

The White Lotus Fairy stuck out her pink tongue, made a funny face, and walked up to Shen Xuan with a smile, extending her right hand.

"You'll definitely get your share!"

Shen Xuan laughed and cursed.

He gently patted the White Lotus Fairy's palm.

Then, he gave her five thousand spirit stones.

That night.

The White Lotus Fairy was exceptionally well-behaved and gentle.

I put my heart and soul into it and tried many techniques I had never used before.

The exceptional performance finally satisfied Shen Xuan.

"Heh! Women..."

Looking at the enchanting expression on the white lotus fairy's face, Shen Xuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

But he encouraged her, saying, "Good, keep going, faster..."
