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

Chapter 68 Half a Year! Daoist Cultivation

Xu Changjun sensed it carefully and found that his natal spiritual root was cast in gold, with dense tendrils growing on it, like a golden python or a strange plant, coiled like a dragon.

Its fine roots expanded and took deep root in its dantian. Nourished by magical power, it seemed to fall into a deep sleep, staying there peacefully without any movement.

The entire process of change made Xu Changjun breathe a sigh of relief.

……

Next, Xu Changjun made a single gesture with his hand, and a burst of golden light flashed. Only half of the vine leaf remained, shining brightly in front of him, flowing with dazzling golden electricity.

Looking at the remaining half of the vine leaf, his eyes kept changing. Although there was only half left, because the loss of its source was reduced, the thunderous essence contained in it was even far greater than the vine leaf of the Thunder God Ancestral Vine that he had brought out from the Classic of Mountains and Seas for the first time.

This item is a rare and precious elixir for cultivators of thunder magic, and they can perfectly absorb it to lay a solid foundation for their cultivation.

After all, his breakthrough was too fast, but opening up the Purple Mansion Divine Soul Space made it easy for his foundation to become unstable. However, with this half vine leaf, it was enough to solidify his foundation.

He will likely need to put in a lot of hard work to absorb the essence of the thunderous power within, and it will not be something that can be accomplished in a short time.

Thinking of this, Xu Changyun took out the half-vine leaf and slowly began to refine it using the Five Thunder Technique.

Xu Changjun clasped his hands together, holding the half-leaf of vine in his palms. He then activated his cultivation technique, rapidly releasing the source of lightning power contained within the half-leaf.

In an instant, deep within the dim cave, Xu Changjun's hands seemed to be holding a rising golden sun, illuminating the entire cave with light.

Golden lightning spread from his palm, flowing along his hand and into the eight extraordinary meridians that circulated along the Five Thunder Technique, rushing into Xu Changjun's limbs and bones. Its speed was like that of a dancing sprite, constantly circulating within Xu Changjun's body.

The seemingly inconspicuous golden arc of light spread like a spider web, flashing through the air and leaving behind patches of burnt smell.

Clearly, these remnants of the Thunder God Ancestral Vine from the primordial world still contain terrifying thunderous essence, which can cause extremely terrible damage if it falls on other creatures.

However, Xu Changjun's physical body had long been adapted to this level of lightning release. His acquired lightning spirit body, after several mutations, was like a giant lightning rod, drawing countless golden arcs of electricity into his body.

Not only does it cause no harm to the body, but it also continuously opens up the body's subtle meridians, forming large cycles that easily accommodate the power of this golden lightning source.

In the end, the golden lightning of the half-vine leaf all merged into Xu Changjun's body, and the remaining leaf in his hand gradually turned into ashes and dissipated into the air.

All of this primordial power of thunder was completely integrated into Xu Changjun's body, constantly flashing within him and expanding its territory along his body's meridians.

His own aura also became erratic, and the thunder apertures of the Five Thunder Technique were like five black holes, generating tremendous attraction and frantically devouring the pure thunder essence like a vortex.

The integration of the power of thunder and lightning into one is not something that can be accomplished in a short time. It requires repeated tempering before it can be gathered in the dantian and gradually refined into one's own foundation.

Xu Changjun was well prepared, but refining it would not be something that could be done in a short time.

I just don't know how much time it will take.

……

Bang!

Six months later, Xu Changjun, who was still sitting deep in the cave, heard a whooshing sound coming from his body, as if he had broken through some transparent barrier.

Xu Changjun suddenly opened his eyes, and a golden lightning flashed deep within them, radiating a suffocating aura.

The entire process was extremely short, but it was a result of accumulated strength. It not only consumed resources but also required a great deal of hard work to complete. Xu Changjun took a deep breath and suppressed the tremors within his body.

In an instant, his cultivation level rose again, and the magical power within his body increased by a level.

Thanks to the solid foundation he had laid before, and with the help of the spiritual power at the Purple Mansion realm, Xu Changjun forcibly controlled and suppressed his magic power, and finally opened the Great Cycle of Heaven and Earth. It took him half a year to break through to the advanced stage of Foundation Establishment.

Even among Foundation Establishment cultivators, this level is considered top-tier.

The whole process was very peaceful, without any major setbacks. Xu Changjun made a breakthrough smoothly and easily, which was unbelievable.

"I never imagined that this trip would yield such a great harvest. When I left, I was only at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, but now I am a high-level Foundation Establishment cultivator, having leaped more than a whole major level. This will probably keep many people up at night..."

"Looks like I should try to travel more when I have the time!"

It must be said that this trip away from the family to seek opportunities has been incredibly fruitful and rewarding.

Of course, the dangers that arise behind these gains are not something outsiders can easily know.

……

"These should be the Thunder Marrow entering the body, tempering the Dharma Body, as described in the Five Thunder Techniques. When these thunder patterns reach their peak, they can forge a Purple Mansion Thunder Body!"

Xu Changjun raised his hands and gently circulated his magic power. Faint blue stripes began to appear on the originally fair and delicate backs of his hands.

Layer upon layer of covering, like thunder and lightning, as if painted with ink.

And it didn't stop at all. As Xu Changjun's magic power extended, it spread upwards from his hands, directly covering both arms, and continued to expand upwards.

Although it hasn't completely covered his body yet, Xu Changjun knows that it's just that his cultivation of the Five Thunder Technique is not yet up to par, his realm is lacking, and the true meaning of thunder contained within it is insufficient. As long as he continues to cultivate along the Five Thunder Technique, sooner or later his entire body will be covered by these thunder patterns.

By then, the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Orthodox Method will be considered to have achieved minor success.

With the breakthrough of the Purple Mansion Realm, one can complete the Purple Mansion Thunder Body, control the five thunders, and make the body and thunder in harmony. With a thought, the thunder waves will surge, as fast as lightning, fierce and domineering.

This is what makes the Five Thunder Technique unique compared to other cultivation methods, and it is also the source of its power.

To Xu Changjun's surprise, the lightning patterns extending from his body were different in color from those described in the normal Jade Eye Scroll; they seemed to be mutated lightning patterns.

Not only is it more powerful and of a higher level in origin, but it also seems to have penetrated into his lightning spirit root, merging with his bloodline and producing some peculiar changes, as if it were to transform his entire body into a deeper level of lightning-patterned spirit body.
