Chapter 724: The Divine Celestia Art
Chapter 724: The Divine Celestia Art
Although Lu Chen had no idea why the Yimu Qingleiteng, which was in a rapid growth phase, suddenly sprouted a sphere of light, he didn't dwell on it as long as he could reap unknown rewards.
In an instant, he appeared before the massive green vine and eagerly reached out to gently touch the surface of the sphere, afraid that it would disappear if he hesitated for even a moment.
The sphere shattered into countless specks of light, which converged to form a thunderous shadow that instantly merged into Lu Chen's body.
At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.
The Yimu Qinglei vine has grown to a certain stage, yielding the first layer of the supreme method, the Divine Celestia Art.
As the thought vanished, a faint golden thunderbolt appeared in Lu Chen's sea of consciousness.
The thunderbolt, despite its slender form, exuded an overwhelming aura, aggressively occupying the center of his sea of consciousness and pushing the other fifth-grade treasure, the Yungshen Post, into a corner.
Lu Chen cautiously immersed his spiritual sense into the thunderbolt, and in an instant, countless torrents of information rushed toward him.
With his focused mind, he learned the detailed information about the pale golden thunderbolt.
The Divine Celestia Art, a supreme method, is the fundamental cultivation technique of the Shenxiao Sect, a major sect in the myriad realms. The complete art can be cultivated up to the stage of Spirit Refinement.
The art is divided into five layers, and each layer bestows the ability to learn thunder spirit secret techniques and supernatural powers.
"The Divine Celestia Art?!" Lu Chen exclaimed in surprise.
He never expected that the sphere of light brought by the Yimu Qinglei vine would give him such a delightful surprise.
"The first layer of the art lays the foundation for cultivation and can be practiced up to the perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage. There are also several decent thunder techniques," he continued, exploring the pale golden traces of thunder within his body. "Five Thunder Palm, Thunder Escape, and Yinsha Thunder..."
"Originating from the light sphere of a seventh-grade Yimu Qinglei vine, this reward is presumably much more powerful than the previous ones like the Xuantian Qingwei Mystical Method and the Yumeng True Water Forbidden Art," he mused.
"After all, those were the rewards offered by fifth-grade spirit plants at their maturity, two grades lower than this seventh-grade vine."
"It's just that because the Yimu Qinglei vine is still in its growth stage, it has only revealed the first layer of the art at this point."
He pondered silently.
He never expected this Yimu Qinglei vine to be the second ancient spirit plant he had encountered, following the Yinhuai.
The efficacy of this type of spirit plant increased as the years of cultivation accumulated.
"However, if I recall correctly, the information I received about the Yimu Qinglei vine mentioned that it would bear corresponding spirit fruits upon maturity. Perhaps this art is just a manifestation of the cause and effect of the vine's growth to a certain stage?" Lu Chen speculated.
Regardless, he was content to have obtained such a treasure from this seventh-grade spirit plant at such an early stage.
Returning to the house, he hesitated briefly before retrieving a piece of emerald green tea leaf from his storage bag.
It was the fifth-grade Clarity Lapis Tea Leaf, which, when consumed, could greatly enhance a cultivator's comprehension for a period of time. The effect would gradually diminish over time, eventually returning to normal.
The effects of the first tea leaf he had taken before were now minimal, so Lu Chen intended to take another one to aid his comprehension of the first layer of the Divine Celestia Art.
The Clarity Crystal Tea Leaf was most potent right after consumption, and Lu Chen's progress in cultivating the art advanced by leaps and bounds.
A month later, he arrived at an empty space in the cave abode and, with a thought, summoned the baby thunder dragon beast.
The silver-white cub sensed Lu Chen's need for it and eagerly hopped over.
Lu Chen stroked the silver-white horn on its head and took out a thunder lotus seed, speaking softly, "Wait a moment. I'm going to try out a thunder technique I've been practicing lately on you. Just cooperate, and let me see the results of my cultivation."
Lu Chen channeled his spiritual energy, and a bolt of lightning abruptly shot out from his palm, striking the Thunder Dragon Beast's back.
Silver-white lightning ripples appeared on the beast's back, absorbing and transforming the lightning completely. Its silver-white fur remained smooth and untouched, not a single strand singed.
"Its lightning resistance is so high?"
Lu Chen's heart took a small blow. One bolt of lightning after another struck the Thunder Dragon Beast.
"Roar!"
The Thunder Dragon Beast let out a low roar, its voice like muffled thunder. From Lu Chen's understanding of the beast, he could tell that it was extremely pleased at this moment.
As it continued, the roars gradually turned into purrs, as if Lu Chen's lightning strikes were tickling it.
Helpless, Lu Chen turned and struck a large stone with his lightning.
Thunder jumped and leaped, leaving a large charred area on the stone's surface, with the center even reduced to powder.
"This Thunder Dragon Beast almost made me lose confidence."
Lu Chen muttered, having already gained a preliminary entry into the first layer of the Divine Celestia Art, and within it, he had also learned the Five Thunder Palm lightning technique. He could unleash it suddenly, catching his opponents off guard. Its power was unusual, and even at the initial insight stage, it had a destructive force equivalent to that of a typical Foundation Establishment artifact.
"It's quite useful for ambushes."
He spoke softly as he entered the spirit fields to inspect the numerous spirit plants.
"The spiritual lightning and viridescent lightning liquid are running low."
After cultivating several lightning-attribute spirit plants, he looked at the soon-to-be-exhausted spiritual lightning in his storage bag and couldn't help but sigh.
Currently, the cave abode housed quite a few lightning-attribute spirit plants: as many as thirty Fourth-Grade Thunder Lotus, several Fifth-Grade Five Thunder Conjoined Flowers, one Sixth-Grade Purple Thunder Violet Fruit, and the Seventh-Grade Yimu Qingleiteng.
With so many lightning-attribute spirit plants, the demand for spiritual lightning and lightning liquid was immense. The spiritual lightning and viridescent lightning liquid he had collected from Thunder Sea the last time were almost entirely depleted.
"Looks like I need to make another trip to Thunder Sea. According to the news I heard earlier, the Thunder Mammoth Beast clan's territory is extremely far from Leiqi Cave, so I don't have to worry about encountering the multitude of cultivators drawn in by the attraction technique."
Lu Chen thought to himself. Ordinary spiritual lightning could still be purchased from the Chamber of Commerce or commissioned from other cultivators at a high price, but that viridescent lightning liquid was extremely difficult to obtain.
And that viridescent lightning liquid was the key treasure for cultivating the Seventh-Grade Yimu Qingleiteng.
Even in the vast Thunder Sea, it was challenging to find rare wood-attribute thunder spirit treasures.
He also had no intention of revealing the location of that treasure trove filled with viridescent lightning liquid to other cultivators.
After all, it was a secret site of the Thunder Mammoth Beast clan, and it was already a great boon to be able to enter it. If he were to divulge the location of that treasure trove, it would be extremely unethical.
Currently, his cultivation had already broken through to the mid-Core Formation stage, and with the protection of numerous treasures, his physical body was far stronger than that of an ordinary Core Formation cultivator. Coupled with his cautious nature, he didn't plan to venture deep into Thunder Sea and unnecessarily increase the risks.
With all these factors combined, he was full of confidence for his trip to Thunder Sea.
"I'll also take this opportunity to bring the Thunder Dragon Beast back to take a look."
"Once abandoned by its clan, an orphan with no parents, that tiny young beast has now grown to this extent."
"To enjoy wealth and honor without returning home, how could that be considered honorable?"
Lu Chen smiled as he looked at the silver-white young beast following behind him.
