Cultivating Immortals in Two Realms, I Possessed the Primordial Thunder Vine

Chapter 4 Cultivation Level Soars

As the headmaster of Lingbi Mountain, Xu Changjun realized that he was not responsible for anyone. He immediately informed Uncle Fu that he needed to go into seclusion for cultivation and that any issues during this period would be dealt with after he emerged from seclusion.

After explaining everything, Xu Changjun went directly to the secluded training room that had been built earlier.

This secret chamber is located near the mountain's ley lines. Although it is not a spiritual vein, its spiritual power far surpasses that of other places. Moreover, it is set up in a very secluded location, making it difficult to be disturbed by the outside world. It is a top-secret place for secluded cultivation.

In order to break through as soon as possible, Xu Changjun took out all the low-grade spirit stones he had accumulated and set up a spirit-gathering array.

Sitting cross-legged in the center of the formation, a dense spiritual energy rushed towards him. Of course, the most important thing was the golden powder transformed from the leaves of the Nine Heavens Thunder God Vine, which Xu Changyun inhaled and exhaled, integrating into his flesh and blood, into his magic power, and into his Dao foundation.

The surging spiritual energy enveloped the golden arcs of lightning, flowing continuously along the meridians like a small river, rapidly circulating through the newly opened meridian system.

As the microcosmic and macrocosmic orbits continued to circulate, the meridians in Xu Changjun's body became increasingly complex, connecting node by node, gradually penetrating into his limbs and bones, and into his blood vessels, becoming clearer and more intricate.

Many hidden extraordinary meridians emerged with the surging spiritual energy and, under the illumination of the Gengjin Divine Thunder that constantly shone with golden light, rapidly circulated throughout the body.

Xu Changjun sat cross-legged on the futon, his eyes slightly closed, breathing in and out with his mouth and nose. In his perception, deep within his body, waves of energy like thunderous tides were rapidly forming, and the pressure was increasing.

Driven by the aura of Gengjin Divine Thunder, it rose continuously, wave after wave, bringing with it a monstrous aura, and crashed down fiercely into some void.

In his mind, he continuously visualized the nine-layered lightning tower, layer upon layer, with golden lightning flashing and radiating countless bolts of electricity.

boom!

As the first wave of thunder and fire arrived, towering waves rose from the depths of my heart, bringing with them a raging storm that crashed down.

In an instant, Xu Changjun's eyelids trembled slightly as the surging spiritual energy surged through his meridians.

The meridians that had been broken through previously were further strengthened by spiritual energy, gradually permeating and becoming increasingly resilient.

Before the first wave of spiritual energy had even dissipated, as Xu Changjun's mind raced, another rising storm of flames, enveloped in vibrating golden lightning, surged up within his dantian.

The surging spiritual energy reached its peak in an instant, and then crashed down violently.

boom!

Xu Changjun's body shuddered again, and a terrifying storm quickly covered his entire body, bringing shockwaves that ravaged his limbs and bones.

One layer after another, wave after wave, crashing against each other, rising and falling in waves.

Having endured eight layers of thunder and flame waves, it seemed to have reached its peak. Xu Changjun's body, under the continuous support of the surging Gengjin divine thunder power, reached the optimal level of transformation.

However, in the final round, when it reached its peak, it could never be perfect. Despite the nine layers of giant waves, it was always a little short, and it sank back down.

"call!"

Xu Changjun woke up from his seclusion. Including the first thirty days, it took him more than three months to refine the leaves of the Nine Heavens Thunder Vine that he brought back from the ancient world of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

All the golden dust merged into his flesh and blood, which was equivalent to him absorbing and refining the thunderous essence of the entire vine leaf, but his cultivation level was stuck at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

It always lacks a certain perfection and completeness, preventing it from advancing to the final level of great perfection.

A small difference can lead to a huge discrepancy.

Xu Changjun knew he had hit a bottleneck. Even with ample resources to sustain himself, his cultivation was insufficient to fully master the ninth level of the Thunder Flame Wave. Even with the help of the Gengjin Divine Thunder Vine Leaf, he still couldn't achieve perfection.

This isn't due to the vine leaves; after all, they are leaves from an innate spiritual root, and any one of them would be an unparalleled treasure in this world.

Considering that the leaf shrank to only a few inches in the real world, which was completely different from the enormous, sky-covering leaf he had witnessed in Thundercloud Valley, Xu Changjun strongly suspected that the leaf had been severely shrunk by the large amount of its essence when he pulled it into the real world.

Whether it's as he guessed or not, we'll need to delve deeper into the Classic of Mountains and Seas and test it several more times!

Xu Changjun was naturally somewhat disappointed, but he was also quite satisfied.

In just three months, his cultivation level advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refining. If word of this speed of advancement were to spread, it would be enough to shock the world.

This proves that the world he entered from the Classic of Mountains and Seas was indeed the primordial world.

If it weren't for the blessing of his innate spiritual root, it would be astonishing that a mere, severely shrunken vine leaf could allow his cultivation to advance to such a degree.

The thought that he had another avatar in the primordial world, which was actually a Nine Heavens Thunder Vine that had grown tall and had lived for countless years, filled Xu Changjun with excitement.

If I could unlock the Classic of Mountains and Seas again, I wonder what kind of fortune my ancestor, the one who truly controls this Nine Heavens Thunder Vine, would bring!

Even when he thinks about it, he finds it hard to extricate himself from his emotions.

This is the path to immortality, and also his ladder to the Great Dao.

Xu Changjun naturally dared not tell anyone about this, but whenever he thought about it, he felt his blood boil and he felt that he had found his goal.

The arduous path of cultivating immortality has found new guidance.

Putting everything else aside, if he could fully digest that leaf of the Nine Heavens Thunder Vine and complete the ninth wave of thunder and flame impact, and successfully raise the Ninefold Thunder and Flame Waves, then Xu Changjun would be confident in even breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Perhaps because Xu Changjun's accumulation was not yet stable, although his strength increased dramatically in the short term, he still could not fully support the ninth wave of lightning and flame. Therefore, his realm only increased to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining before the curtain fell completely.

In Xu Changjun's soul space, the Thunder Flame Nine-Story Tower condensed by visualization power was almost complete, nearly perfect, with only the aura of the final ninth floor remaining unstable and unable to be fully integrated.

This is Xu Changjun's bottleneck, seemingly invisible yet tangible.

If he can complete the last floor, then it will be time for Xu Changjun to begin preparing to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm.

Of course, Xu Changjun dared not be dissatisfied with his current gains.

He could reach this level by refining just one leaf of the Nine Heavens Thunder Vine; it was something he never dared to dream of.

The spiritual energy contained in the primordial world is significantly higher than that in the cultivation world, at least not comparable to the mere third-level spiritual vein of the Zifu family, Yunlu Xu family.

This resulted in the primal power erupting from the vine leaves being extremely heavy, making it difficult for ordinary cultivators to withstand.

In particular, the vine leaves contain terrifying golden lightning energy, which is strands of Gengjin divine lightning.

This Gengjin Divine Lightning contains terrifying destructive power; if it were to erupt directly, it would be something that a Qi Refining cultivator would not be able to absorb.

Even if one could forcibly absorb it into their body, it would not only be useless but also extremely harmful. No one else could possibly absorb all the power contained in the leaves of a Nine Heavens Thunder Vine as perfectly as Xu Changjun.
