Bearing the blue sky

Chapter 256 Thunderous Soul Refining! Zhou Tian Xing Chen!

He liked this cultivation method.

Thunderous Sound Refinement uses sound waves to stimulate the soul, causing it to vibrate, recombine, and condense continuously.

The practice was extremely painful, but the results were remarkable.

This is similar to his "Great Sun Glass Body," both of which involve tempering oneself through external stimuli.

He tried to circulate the energy according to the method.

A wisp of thunderous sound exploded in his dantian, causing him to tremble all over.

The thunderous sound rushed straight up to his Shangyuan Palace along his meridians, as if someone had struck a gong in his mind.

Zhu Ge let out a muffled groan, veins bulging on his forehead.

pain!

But—is it still within the acceptable range?

He gritted his teeth and continued operating the machine.

Thunderous sounds echoed through the meridians, each one impacting the invisible barrier of the Shangyuan Palace.

Although his divine sense had not yet been fully formed, he could already vaguely perceive the existence of the Shangyuan Palace.

It was a chaotic space, enveloped by a tough membrane.

After an unknown amount of time, the thunder finally stopped.

Zhu Ge opened her eyes and let out a long breath.

His hair looked normal, but it had a slightly burnt appearance and a faint burnt smell.

This is a reflection of the soul.

His hair was incredibly hard and couldn't possibly be burnt, but the sensations brought on by his spirit made his hair think it was burnt.

"Not bad." Zhu Ge's eyes were full of excitement.

The Thunder Sound Refining God Technique can be practiced.

To be continued!

He continued watching the third, fourth, and fifth parts —

The remaining six cultivation methods include sword cultivation, alchemy cultivation, talisman cultivation, and array cultivation.

The sword technique "Qingping Sword Art" uses sword energy to nourish the soul, making it fierce and powerful. It looks cool, but unfortunately, he is more comfortable using a staff.

The Daoist alchemy technique "Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir" requires a large amount of spiritual herbs and time to achieve enlightenment through alchemy, both of which he currently lacks.

The talismanic cultivation technique, "Taiqing Divine Talisman Record," uses talismans to communicate with heaven and earth, possessing considerable power, but its cultivation threshold is extremely high, and his aptitude is very ordinary.

Only the array formation technique, "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Zhen Tu," caught his eye.

He was very interested in this array, so he used himself as the array base and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as the array patterns, and set up a great array in an instant.

He created the Book of Changes and the true meaning of divination. If it could be combined with the art of formations, wouldn't they complement each other?

However, array formation requires a large amount of knowledge and material accumulation, and it is difficult to achieve results in a short period of time.

Zhu Ge placed "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Zhen Tu" in the "to be selected" pile and continued reading the last two books.

The sixth book, "The Five Elements Escape Technique".

Cultivating the Five Elements Escape Techniques (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) allows one to escape underground, enter water, pass through wood, melt metal, and transform into fire, making them excellent at escaping, but lacking in offensive power.

The seventh book is the "Treatise on the Response of the Supreme Being".

By sensing the heavens and earth with one's heart and communicating with all things with one's intention, one can cultivate to the extreme the ability to foresee fortune and misfortune and seek good fortune while avoiding evil. This overlaps with the true meaning of divination, but is even more profound.

"The Supreme Response—" Zhu Ge murmured these four words, and suddenly a thought struck him.

He opened the preface to the "Treatise on Response and Retribution" and lines of ancient text came into view.

The Supreme Lord said: Misfortune and fortune have no fixed gate; they are summoned by oneself. The retribution for good and evil follows like a shadow.

"Therefore, Heaven and Earth have gods who oversee transgressions. According to the severity of a person's offenses, they deduct from their lifespan. When lifespan is reduced, poverty and hardship follow, and misfortune and good fortune are avoided."

The more I read the blessing song, the more engrossed I became.

This is not a simple immortal cultivation technique, but a method of cultivating the mind, which is quite special.

However, this was not the cultivation method Zhu Ge wanted, and it seemed to already have the rudiments of divination and seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

Unfortunately, once the Way of Change (易道) was established, the only way to develop new methods of divination based on the Way of Change could ultimately be to create new methods of divination based on the Way of Change.

"What a wonderful gift!"

Zhu Ge's eyes were filled with emotion.

The cultivation techniques given to him by the True Lord of Annihilation each had their own unique features.

However, he hasn't made a decision yet and has decided to wait and see.

If he weren't afraid of trying to learn too much and not being able to digest it all, he would really like to learn everything.

For now, let's learn Thunder Sound Soul Refining and Array Dao first.

He has many methods for dealing with enemies, but the Dao of Formations, a branch of immortal cultivation, is truly quite useful.

Whether it's arranging troops in a military formation or using a formation like the Fungus God Annihilation Formation, each has its own advantages.

This auxiliary method, combined with his advantage as the founder of the Yi Dao, is sure to spark something amazing.

Thunder Sound Technique for Soul Refining.

Array support.

When you have free time, learn some talismans or escape techniques; it would be wonderful.

Zhu Ge opened the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Zhen Tu" (a book on celestial constellations), and the first page was a vast star map.

The star chart is marked with 365 primary stars and 14,800 secondary stars, densely packed, like the night sky reflected on the pages of a book.

Each star has a subtle flow of spiritual energy, connecting with each other to weave a giant net that covers the heavens and the earth.

"The stars in the heavens form the foundation of all things. The body is the eye of the formation, and the spirit is the star line. With a single thought, the stars respond."

Zhu Ge murmured the opening outline, his heart filled with awe.

The concept behind this formation is to leverage the power of heaven and earth through certain laws.

Divination is about deducing patterns, while array formations are about making those patterns concrete.

He sat cross-legged by the rice paddy, memorized the star map, then closed his eyes and tried to draw the first star within his body.

According to the cultivation method, the first step in practicing the Zhou Tian Star Array Diagram is to condense the first "array star" in the dantian.

This star needs no spiritual energy, no materials, only intention.

With the heart as the brush and the spirit as the ink, draw star patterns in the void.

Zhu Ge focused his mind and spirit into his dantian.

In the Lower Yuan Palace, blood and qi surged like a tide, literary energy flowed like silk threads, and sorcery blazed like fire.

The three forces each follow their own path and do not interfere with each other.

He avoided them, and in a corner of his dantian, he used pure intention to draw an arc.

The star pattern is not a simple graphic, but a symbol that contains the rules of heaven and earth.

As the first stroke was made, a slight tremor ran through my dantian, and the arc of light shone faintly, but it vanished in an instant.

Failed.

Zhu Ge was not discouraged and picked up his pen again.

The second stroke, the third stroke, the fourth stroke—each time the star pattern collapsed just before completion, as if it couldn't withstand that mysterious power.

Until the seventeenth time.

He took a deep breath, focused his mind to the extreme, and wrote each stroke slowly and firmly.

This time, he didn't rush things. Instead, he sketched the outline while silently reciting the hexagram texts from the Book of Changes.

"As heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement."

The first stroke is the first line of the Qian hexagram: "Hidden dragon, do not act."

The arc lit up, and the light remained stable.

"The earth is receptive; a virtuous person should cultivate virtue and bear all things with generosity."

The second stroke is the first line of the Kun hexagram: "Treading on frost, solid ice will arrive."

The second arc connects with the first, forming a semicircle.

"Following the wind, the superior man carries out his mandate and acts accordingly."

The third stroke, the first line of the Xun hexagram, signifies advancement and retreat.

Three arcs intertwined, with faint sounds of wind and thunder echoing in the dantian.

"When the mountain is combined with the mountain, the superior man's thoughts do not stray from his proper place."

With the final stroke, the four arcs connected end to end, transforming into a pale golden point of light that hovered in the dantian.

The star formation is complete!
