Chapter 283: Chapter 144: Commanding Five Soldiers Thunder (3/3)

Commanding Five Soldiers True Thunder.

This method uses the martial aura to transform the killing intent of the Five Elements, condenses the mysterious clarity of heaven and earth into the divine, and accumulates the turbidity of the Eight Desolate Land Fiends into the form. It can strengthen artifacts to crush solids and destroy spirits and laws, truly a top-tier secret killing technique.

"The highest realm of this method exists in my conjecture between ’Pure Yang Weapon Calamity’ and ’Supreme Yin Extreme Fiend.’"

Since this was a secret technique created by Jin Yanhua herself, she was well aware of its flaws and limits: "This method is based on the Five Thunders Skills, yet it has not reached the realm of the True Thunder Skills of ’Transforming Yin and Yang Pivot’... However, once I achieve Great Heaven’s Sanctification and grasp the laws of heaven and earth, I will be able to completely perfect this technique."

"But for you, it is sufficient."

—More than sufficient!

An Jing had already been silently operating it in his heart, trying to Cultivate the Dao of this method while Jin Yanhua was lecturing.

The reason he was so eager was that he had sensed his "Taibai Star" responding and vibrating!

An Jing’s Taibai Star, after comprehending the Divine Weapon of Earth Vein, vaguely had the tendency to fully awaken, which also granted An Jing a special ability that could strengthen weaponry and absorb the essence of weapons.

This ability, if named according to the traditions of Embracing the Void realm, should be called "Weapon Melting." Although An Jing had mastered it, he did not have many weapons to practice with—even if he went to the Tianyuan Realm to wholesale Mysterious Iron longswords, he still lacked quality weapons to further catalyze its breakthrough.

However, the Commanding Five Soldiers True Thunder made An Jing realize what his Taibai Star was truly lacking.

That was destruction.

His Fate Pattern of Seven Fiend, primarily focused on killing and annihilation as its ’Ending Destiny’, just as Coalescing Qi into Soldiers seemed to create certain weapons, it actually materialized the intent of slaughter for killing and destroying lives, and his Taibai Divine Skill was the same, needing to embrace destruction for righteousness!

While this Commanding Five Soldiers True Thunder does strengthen weapons, it actually leads the weapons to be strengthened to their limits, then destructively burst apart in a Thunder Method!

It’s just that, ordinary Thunder Skills mobilize the mechanisms of Yin and Yang and the energy of the Five Elements, but this Thunder Skill is driven by the aura of Weapon Fiend, making weapons the durable materials for casting!

"Moreover, I understand how my Special Abilities need to coordinate!"

At this moment, An Jing completely clarified his thoughts—his Blood Fiend Divine Skill condenses Qi into Qi Soldiers, then he uses the Gold Fiend Divine Skill in conjunction with the Commanding Five Soldiers True Thunder to strengthen these Qi Soldiers, and then before the fortified Qi Soldiers disintegrate, he completely detonates them as a Thunder Method to bombard the enemy!

Normally, he can accumulate Martial Aura from weapons to stockpile ammunition, triggering a blast of Soldier Thunder when needed!

Such eager learning by An Jing initially caused Jin Yanhua to frown slightly, worried that An Jing’s eagerness might harm himself.

But seeing An Jing smoothly entering the door, she felt her worries might be somewhat laughable: was there really any difficulty in front of this young man?

Actually, there still was. Commanding Five Soldiers True Thunder was vast and profound, indeed the killing method that took An Jing the longest time to learn since his Fate Pattern awakened.

He spent half a day learning Lesser Yang Swordsmanship, and he grasped the Great Self True Form Fist after going over it twice, but this Commanding Five Soldiers True Thunder, under the guidance of Jin Yanhua, took An Jing two days to completely enter the gateway, finally condensing a patch of ’Golden Scales’ on the back of his right hand.

These Golden Scales, seemingly scales, actually serve as the pivot for storing Martial Aura.

Jin Yanhua is a dragon, her entire body covered in scales acting as pivots, capable of storing Martial Aura vast as mountains and seas, rightly corresponding to the Fate Pattern "Accumulating Soldiers into Mountains," equivalent to carrying a mountain of armed soldiers during Cultivation, rapidly increasing Life Force.

And An Jing had also grasped this pivotal point, but Jin Yanhua was somewhat worried about it.

"You can learn anything."

She stretched out her hand, gently caressing the golden scales on the back of An Jing’s hand, her expression somewhat solemn, "You can even replicate it perfectly... This is a very, very impressive talent."

"But it’s also a very dangerous talent."

Raising her head, Jin Yanhua earnestly said to An Jing, "You are clearly human, and by this method, you should be condensing a vague metal plate on the back of your hand. It should only start to form into the corresponding Daoist patterns as your mastery of the Five Weapons Thunder Skills gradually matures."

"But you’ve completely mastered it, even grasping a hint of ’Dragon’s Charm,’ thus condensing scales instead."

"Of course, this is good, proving that you have fully mastered it, but... An Jing, this will make it very easy not to find your own path."

"Always remember, it’s okay if the power is a bit less, but with the Art of Magic and Divine Skills, you must use them comfortably!"

"Because in the end, we are Martial Arts cultivators, we seek our own ultimate state in Martial Arts, not whether the Art of Magic is powerful or whether the skills learned are perfectly replicated!"

"I can understand."

An Jing nodded slightly, Jin Yanhua’s words echoed what Mingguang Dust had previously mentioned about the Daoist Disciple’s path that does not cultivate lethal methods; it’s most important to suit oneself, not just to possess great power. Each person must have their own uniqueness, that’s the pursuit of the Dao.

It was also a tribulation brought about by his overly exceptional talent—ordinary people wouldn’t even fully grasp a single cultivation method, let alone remember what they ate or did a few days ago.

Even if they remember, the memory could be distorted.

Human thoughts continually warp past memories to align with their current beliefs, and cultivation is the same. Thus, most people’s Dao Law, even from the same school, will eventually diverge, each developing their own uniqueness.

But he, because he learned too well and remembered too clearly, ended up with the flaw of ’not being unique enough.’

Since An Jing understood this himself, Jin Yanhua didn’t need to worry. She truly believed that An Jing would forge his own path, hence for the following days she focused on teaching You Ruhui the basics, only occasionally checking on An Jing’s progress.

And An Jing began a continuous cycle of cultivation.

Every morning, he would meditate, entering the state of the Son of Heaven Method to practice the Lesser Yang Swordsmanship, stimulating the generation of his Essence Qi.

Perhaps because of the advantages of being young, An Jing felt his progress in cultivating the Lesser Yang Swordsmanship advanced by leaps and bounds. Following this trend, he might achieve mastery before spring arrived.

After generating Essence Qi, he would practice various Inner Strength techniques with the Great Self True Form Fist, and then combine the Condensing Qi into Soldiers Technique with Commanding Five Soldiers True Thunder to cultivate lethal methods.

Even for someone with as sturdy a physique as An Jing, this routine felt exhausting.

At this time, Mingguang Dust would call him to teach him some common knowledge about the northern cultivation world of Embracing the Void, details on Spiritual Objects, etiquette, and some unspoken rules—this knowledge was equally important. Possessing only Martial Force without understanding order would make it difficult to move forward in the world.

An Jing, not yet powerful enough to disregard rules, listened attentively.

And in the evening, after finishing a day’s teaching, Jin Yanhua would share her past experiences and stories with the two younger generations, broadening their horizons.
