Chapter 95 - 67: Breakthrough (2/6)_2

Therefore, this martial arts technique was quite useless, so much so that Xu Yang hadn’t even practiced it.

It wasn’t until he entered the Black Water World and devoured the school of electric eels, obtaining the innate divine ability “Thunder-Driving Lightning-Lifting,” that he had an epiphany.

The reason the Heavenly Thunder Tempering technique was useless wasn’t just due to the martial arts itself; the problem also lay with “thunder and lightning.” His understanding of thunder and lightning, his research into it, and his control and use of it were far from thorough, which naturally rendered the Heavenly Thunder Tempering technique he created quite useless.

However, there was nothing wrong with the basis of this technique; indeed, thunder and lightning could temper the body, and the effects were extraordinary.

Eventually, Xu Yang referred to his own innate power of “Thunder-Driving Lightning-Lifting” and revised the Heavenly Thunder Tempering technique in the Martial Scripture manuscript, ultimately introducing a powerful thunder and lightning body refining technique.

Xu Yang named it the “Thunder-Driving Lightning-Lifting Technique.”

It was recorded in the Martial Scripture Manuscript, within the Body Training Chapter.

After creating the technique, the next step was actual practice.

Therefore, Xu Yang began searching for electric eels to cultivate them.

Of course, if one isn’t afraid of death, one could also try to act as a lightning rod during a thunderstorm.

Xu Yang was afraid of dying, or rather, he didn’t want to die, so he chose to cultivate using the most familiar electric eels.

As expected, this method proved to be highly effective. In just three short years, Xu Yang’s body training technique advanced rapidly, his martial arts inner yuan also increased, and now he had reached the limit of both the “Muscle Bone Realm” and the “True Gang Realm.” He was about to break through and enter the fourth stage of body training, the “Rebirth Realm,” and the fourth stage of martial arts, the “Condensing Spirit Realm.” Today was the time for his breakthrough.

Therefore, he threw himself a lavish feast of fish and swallowed all his reserved essence pills to nourish himself for the breakthrough of the four barriers.

In the lake, within the electric net, Xu Yang sat cross-legged.

“Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!”

The thousands of electric eels exerted their power simultaneously, and the golden current was visible to the naked eye, forming an electrical net that enshrouded his body, yet there was no explosive reaction; instead, it was absorbed bit by bit into his body, merging into his flesh and blood.

It wasn’t just the current. The surrounding lake water, and even the dense mist on the lake surface, the entire area’s nature’s spiritual energy, all were influenced by his divine intent and began converging towards this place, coalescing, turning into a vortex…

In a blink, the Yuan Qi Vortex was formed, mingled with golden currents, like a dazzling sun hanging over the lake.

Then, with a wave of thought, the surrounding electric eels that had exhausted their electrical power received the command from the Dragon King and retreated like a receding tide, leaving behind only the Electric Eel King and a few spirit monsters to channel their last bit of electricity into the Yuan Qi Vortex.

Within the Yuan Qi Vortex, Xu Yang sat cross-legged in a virtual spiral, his eyes already closed, his divine intent unfolding boundlessly.

Between the boundless divine intent, his own body became manifest, a towering presence.

Following that, his physical body turned transparent, displaying its internal structure—all the interlinked lines and nodes, with thunder and lightning coursing through them.

This was the human meridian diagram under the influence of spiritual energy and thunder and lightning tempering!

Visualizing his own body, mastering oneself!

I am the heaven and earth, and the heaven and earth are me!

Condensing Spirit and Unifying Dao, a metamorphosis of body and soul!

The four stages of growth will now be broken through!

With a loud explosion, the vortex in the lake suddenly burst apart, unleashing a sky-high wave.

Amidst the white waves, a human figure like a dragon intertwined with lightning emerged, shooting a hundred Zhang into the sky.

One Zhang and three meters, a hundred Zhang into the sky, already high up in the air.

He had completely burst forth from the boundary concealed by the island’s stone formation.

But Xu Yang had completely lost himself, oblivious to everything, and plunged into the clouds and mists of the sky.

Yes, the sea of clouds!

The unique landscape of Dongting Lake—once up a hundred Zhang, one would be amidst the vast and billowing sea of clouds.

In the midst of the sea of clouds, Xu Yang soared, surrounded by intertwining lightning, and with a thunderous push of his palms, a dragon shadow roared out.

Descending Dragon Palm?

No, it was more than the Descending Dragon Palm!

“Roar!!!”

As the mighty dragon soared with lightning flashing around it, the force of the palm combined with the might of thunder and lightning, instantly cleared a path a hundred Zhang long in this vast and misty sea of clouds, which remained for a long time.

In such a state, completely absorbed and after unleashing a powerful strike that expressed his satisfaction, the main character finally came back to his senses.

Looking at the hundred-zhang void in the sea of clouds created by his own palm strike, Xu Yang let out a soft chuckle then turned and returned.

“Humph!”

This time, as he landed, his movements were casual without immense force smashing down, shaking heaven and earth.

Having broken through the four realms, whether it was in the internal cultivation of Inner Yuan or the external training of the physical body, everything was completely mastered after “Visualizing the Self,” “Subduing Dragon and Tiger,” and “Condensing Spirit and Unifying Dao, ” reaching an effortless state, lifting the heavy as if it were light and the light as if it were heavy.

The difference of one realm was like the difference between heaven and earth.

Add the battle traits boosted by “Martial Path Communicates with God” and “Unity of Heaven and Man,” and now, as long as Xu Yang did not encounter a master of the fifth realm, he could dominate the world with ease.

Ah…the mundane world, that is.

As for the Cultivation World, the situation is unclear, so let’s not talk about that for the moment.

“Thrilling! !

Xu Yang let out a loud laugh and summoned his attribute panel.

Condensing Spirit and Rebirth, inner and outer four realms!

Reincarnated and transmigrated to this world, finally achieving something noteworthy in his sixtieth year.

The first forty-five years were spent in hidden accumulation, enduring mockery and ridicule, bullying and oppression.

But it was all worth it. Without those forty-five years of patient accumulation and gathering of strength, he could not have reached where he was today. Every step was carefully planned, accumulation leading to rapid progress.

Past grievances could all be avenged.

Ah…it seems there’s nothing left to avenge now.

The Goldfish Gang had been dealt with, and those who had troubled him, bullied, and oppressed him over the years, he had secretly taken care of them all.

They are all dead?

Then let it be.

Xu Yang shook his head, no longer pondering.

Rather than dwelling on the past which no longer mattered, he should be looking to the future.

From entering Great Zhou and creating the Martial Scripture.

To now, having achieved the state of the four realms.

All in all, it took him fifteen years.

It could be said to be incredibly swift.

You must know, in the world of Great Tang, it took him almost twenty years to reach the state of Condensing Spirit.

And that was with the help of many disciples and the “Teaching” skill.

In the real world, he didn’t take on many disciples and didn’t benefit from the boost of the teaching skill. Then how could he step into the four realms more quickly, both in Inner Cultivation and External Training and attaining both sides of the Rebirth Four Realms State?

There are three reasons for this.

First, the profoundness of the cultivation technique, which assimilated the

Martial Path systems of both Great Zhou and Great Tang, and in the Black

Water World, was refined through self-perception, Fish-Dragon Transformation, and innate divine abilities. After such fortuitous refinements, his cultivation naturally advanced much more swiftly than when he began in Great Tang.

Second, the help of his skills. He had acquired many skill traits, especially the “Heaven rewards hardwork” and “Founder of Martial Scripture” in martial practice, which tremendously aided cultivation, particularly the cultivation of the Martial Scripture, hence a more rapid progression.

Third, external aids such as the absence of nature’s spiritual energy were compensated for with essence pills, Spirit Rice, and alien beasts as nourishment, coupled with the newly perfected “Thunder and Lightning Quenching Body” technique. With these layers of enhancements, his advance in realms was naturally swift.

All of this was the result of Xu Yang’s own hard-earned efforts, the rewards of his diligent cultivation.

Great accumulation leads to a rapid rise, Heaven rewards hardwork!

Such should be the way of a lifetime!
