nShen Ao was very depressed and felt that today was an unlucky day for him.

n

n

nHe had finally reached the Foundation Establishment stage and was on his way to the Myriad Spirit Garden.

n

n

n

n

nHe had somehow suffered Qi Deviation and woken up with a terrible headache.

n

n

nHowever, that was not the worst part since it did not really affect his cultivation. The problem was that he had heard some rumors in the Myriad Spirit Garden after going around talking with people.

n

n

nThere was a so-called Master Celestial in Myriad Spirit Garden that was very good at assessing ores. His name was Shen Aotian.

n

n

nThis Master Celestial only assessed ores for people who had fate with him. Nonetheless, he had incredible accuracy, and among the dozens of ores he picked, every one of them yielded high returns!

n

n

n

n

nAccording to rumors, Master Celestial had even picked an ore that contained a supreme-grade Fairy Calabash Seed, which was ranked 36th in the Spiritual Wood List.

n

n

nMany disciples and even elders in the Grand White Grotto-Heaven sought after such supreme-grade treasures were sought by many.

n

n

nShen Ao was tempted and decided to visit this so-called Master Celestial himself. He firmly believed that there was an unwavering fate between them since their names were so similar.

n

n

nIt would be nonsensical if they were not fated!

n

n

n

n

nIf Master Celestial could help him, he would not have to worry about choosing a gift for his master anymore.

n

n

nThus, he started asking people about Master Celestial and soon learned about the Celievers’ existence. In addition, he found out that the current Grand Elder of the Celievers was Sky Spirit Pavilion’s owner.

n

n

nShen Ao dressed and entered the Sky Spirit Pavilion. Unfortunately, the first person he encountered was Young Shopkeeper Song.

n

n

nShen Ao quickly revealed his identity and hoped Shopkeeper Song could introduce him to Master Celestial.

n

n

nYoung Shopkeeper Song asked him to wait in the guest room and served him a cup of tea.

n

n

nAfter drinking that best-grade green tea from Bi Luo Peak, Shen Ao passed out again. When he woke up, Shen Ao realized he was tied to a cross.

n

n

n

n

nIt was a secluded chamber, and it looked very creepy and… familiar?

n

n

n“This Sky Spirit Pavilion is a scam!” Shen Ao felt aggrieved. “Oh my. Why was I so careless!?”

n

n

nI interacted with my thirteenth brother a few days ago, I should have been extra careful!

n

n

nSigh… I should have relieved Lee of his duties that day too.

n

n

nWhy was I so careless!?

n

n

n…

n

n

nShen Tian, who had already reached his Lan Palace with Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao, sneezed.

n

n

nHe could finally relax for a moment. He did not have to worry about his crazy fans in the palace, nor whether his brother, Shen Ao, found out what he was doing.

n

n

n

n

nA green halo was already hovering over Shen Tian’s head, so gone were the days filled with bad luck.

n

n

nHe finally had the confidence to focus on cultivation for some time.

n

n

nIn the dangerous cultivation world, power and providence were equally important.

n

n

nShen Tian decided to stay in the palace until he had enough power to beat his opponents. Although his halo’s color had changed, it was only green and not enough.

n

n

nShen Tian was aiming to reach the Golden Core stage with a dark-green halo minimum.

n

n

nI need to be much greener!

n

n

n“Oh, I received three cultivation techniques from that day!”

n

n

nShen Tian suddenly recalled the cultivation techniques Zhang Yunxi had passed to him. The Divine Firmament Drager Pendant had directly engraved the techniques into his Spiritual Power, so Shen Tian could recall them easily.

n

n

nDecalamity was the forbidden chapter of the Lightning Imperial Sutra, and he could not learn it yet. Nonetheless, he could practice the other two without any problem.

n

n

nThe first one was a Qi Refinement cultivation technique, called Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique. Only the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s disciples were allowed to cultivate on this long-lost sutra.

n

n

nThe technique focused on matching the organs to the five elements and forming ten types of powerful Divine Lightning.

n

n

nThese were:

n

n

nAzure Dragon I Divine Lightning (Wood)

n

n

n

n

nCosmos II Divine Lightning (Wood)

n

n

nCrimson Phoenix III Divine Lightning (Fire)

n

n

nSoaring Snake IV Divine Lightning (Fire)

n

n

nMighty Qilin V Divine Lightning (Earth)

n

n

nGreat Fortune VI Divine Lightning (Earth)

n

n

nWhite Tiger VII Divine Lightning (Metal)

n

n

nHeaven Emperor VIII Divine Lightning (Metal)

n

n

nBlack Tortoise IX Divine Lightning (Water)

n

n

nHeaven Empress X Divine Lightning (Water)

n

n

nThe abovementioned lightnings carried enormous power within them. If a cultivator mastered just one of them, they could walk in the Eastern Wilderness, undefeated.

n

n

nIf one could master several of them, they would be a genius among their peers.

n

n

n…

n

n

nAmong these 10 lightning arts, the odd numbers (I, III, V, VII, IX) were considered to have the character of Yang. If the cultivator mastered all five Yang-type lightnings, they could forge the pure Yang Five Elements Lightning.

n

n

nAs for the even numbers (II, IV, VI, VIII, X), they had the character of Yin. If the cultivator mastered all five Yin-type lightnings, they could forge the pure Yin Five Elements Lightning.

n

n

nWhen one mastered all the ten Divine Lightnings and forged both pure Yin and Yang Five Elements Lightning, they could merge the two of them and obtain the legendary Yin-Yang Mixed Divine Lightning.

n

n

nHowever, the Yin- and Yang-type lightnings by right should repel each other. Thus, training the other type of lightning after one type was completed usually led to backlash.

n

n

nAs such, it was almost impossible for the Yin-Yang Mixed Divine Lightning to be mastered.

n

n

nRumors had it that in the Lightning Imperial Sutra’s last forbidden chapter, Decalamity, there was a method to overcome this difficulty. That was the reason why the Mixed Divine Lightning could be mass-produced 10,000 years ago!

n

n

n“Tsk, I did not expect this Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique to be so difficult,” complained Shen Tian.

n

n

nHe had to learn all the ten types of the Five Elements Divine Lightning and combine them slowly. This was too tedious, so Shen Tian lost interest.

n

n

nSuddenly, he thought of something and took out his mirror. The golden lightning mark was still on his handsome face.

n

n

nShen Tian was very happy.

n

n

nSeems like I have all the Five Elements Divine Lightning already!

n

n

nHehe, let me give it a try then!

n

n

nShen Tian took a deep breath and called in Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao to watch over him. He sat down and started cultivating the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique.

n

n

nThe order of which type of lightning was cultivated first varied individually.

n

n

nNormally, males were considered Yang, so the Yang-type Five Elements Lighting would be better, and vice versa for females… Well, Zhang Yunxi was an outlier.

n

n

nSome people were stronger with Metal, and some were stronger with Water, and so on…

n

n

nShen Tian calmed himself down and gathered a pile of Spirit Stones. He followed the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique and started cultivating.

n

n

nSoon, he felt a pure Divinity flowing inside him.

n

n

nSuddenly, his head felt numb while his stomach was in pain.

n

n

nSomething is coming out!

n

n

nShen Tian was shocked.

n

n

nWhy is it so fast?
