Chapter 68: Chapter 56 The Ultimate Thunder Technique: Soul-Extinction Celestial Thunder Divine Decision_2

"Good, then it’s settled. If you need any silver taels, just come to me!"

After finishing their discussion, Lin Xuankong walked towards the Cultivation Room, only to see Hu Shuo and the other two heading there as well.

Lin Xuankong asked, "Aren’t your Yin Talisman Techniques at the Integration level? Why do you still need to go to the Cultivation Room?"

Steward Hu Shuo replied, "Visualization Jades always offer new insights. Contemplating them every few months brings new revelations. After all, they contain Divine Thunder imprints left by the founding patriarch!"

The heavy door of the Cultivation Room was already closed. The new disciples who were cultivating there had already left, leaving only a few Yin Talisman Disciples guarding the side of the heavy door.

Seeing the Silver Jade Steward and the other stewards approaching, the eight disciples immediately bowed and stepped aside. One of them opened the massive door, allowing Lin Xuankong and the others to enter the rather spacious Cultivation Room.

Once inside, Lin Xuankong headed straight to the second Visualization Jade. His Divine Thunder Root had already reached twenty-four pieces, and the first Visualization Jade would no longer yield any more insights. Today, he planned to contemplate the second Visualization Jade.

At this moment, the towering figure of Hu Shuo, with his solemn red face, stood before the four Visualization Jades and said with a hint of emotion, "According to sect records, hundreds of years ago, during the prosperity of our Yin Talisman Sect, there were many unparalleled geniuses with talents of Five Seals or more. And those unparalleled geniuses, including the five Eight-Seal Ancestor Masters who once dominated millions, all could contemplate the third Visualization Jade, thus cultivating the mystical Aurora Heaven-Brightening Technique! But now, throughout the entire sect, only Chief Steward Jiang can contemplate the third Visualization Jade and cultivate the Aurora Heaven-Brightening Technique! All other disciples can only contemplate the second Visualization Jade, and can only cultivate and use the Divine Thunder Illusion Technique!"

While he spoke, Nalan Yunzhu and Lin Jiao were already sitting cross-legged by the second Visualization Jade, silently contemplating.

This second Visualization Jade is used to cultivate the Divine Thunder Illusion Technique. The so-called Divine Thunder Illusion Technique is actually what the Yin Talisman Sect members refer to as the Four Thunders Surrounding Body, Five Thunders Surrounding Body, and Nine Thunders Surrounding Body!

The Divine Thunder Illusion Technique can stimulate the Thunder Root within the body to generate lightning, which follows the body and weapons to attack opponents. This technique increases in power as the cultivator’s Transcendence Realm and the nurturing level of their Divine Thunder Root improve. The higher the Transcendence Realm, the thicker and stronger the generated lightning. For example, someone like Han Lu, who is at the early stage of the Second Layer, has nurtured his Divine Thunder Root for years. The Divine Thunder he generates is already as thick as a little finger. Once it strikes an enemy, the rampaging lightning is terrifying. Martial Cultivators below the early stage of the Second Layer are unable to contend and would be severely injured in an instant! Even mid-stage or late-stage Second Layer Martial Cultivators would suffer rapid losses in Qi Blood after being struck, at a rate more than ten times faster than the Martial Cultivator using the Divine Thunder Illusion Technique! If cultivated to a higher Realm, the power of the lightning becomes even more ferocious... This kind of profound Martial Dao that can control lightning is truly like an Immortal Technique!

Lin Xuankong came to the Cultivation Room this time intending to learn the Divine Thunder Illusion Technique. However, upon hearing Steward Hu Shuo’s words, he couldn’t help but look at the other two Visualization Jades.

According to the Cultivation Technique records, the third Visualization Jade allows contemplation and cultivation of the Aurora Heaven-Brightening Technique! The fourth Visualization Jade allows contemplation and cultivation of the Soul-Devouring Heavenly Thunder Divine Skill! These two Divine Thunder Control Martial Skills should be fiercer than the Divine Thunder Illusion Technique!

Lin Xuankong thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, Steward Hu is absolutely right! However, both the Aurora Heaven-Brightening Technique and the Soul-Devouring Heavenly Thunder Divine Skill are extremely difficult to cultivate, requiring a high level of talent. Fortunately, their power is also considerably greater than that of the Divine Thunder Illusion Technique!"

Hearing this, the red-faced Steward Hu couldn’t help but look at Lin Xuankong with a hint of surprise. Even Nalan Yunzhu, who was silently contemplating, stopped her cultivation and frowned at Lin Xuankong.

Seeing their expressions, Lin Xuankong was puzzled. I was just agreeing with Steward Hu, praising those two Thunder Techniques. What did I say wrong?

While Lin Xuankong was confused, Lin Jiao couldn’t help but widen his eyes and spoke up, "Silver Jade Steward, what you said is very wrong, extremely wrong, especially wrong! It’s not just ’considerably greater’!

"The Aurora Heaven-Brightening Technique grants an overwhelming advantage during combat. It is the strongest auxiliary Thunder Technique! When Chief Steward Jiang first entered the early stage of the Fifth Layer, she was not strong enough to easily suppress Demons. If she hadn’t used the Aurora Heaven-Brightening Technique, how could she have seriously injured a Late Tier Four Demon?

"As for the unparalleled Soul-Devouring Heavenly Thunder Divine Skill, it is known as the undefeated attack technique!

"Though it consumes a lot of Qi Blood, once activated, its power surpasses even that of the Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect’s three great, world-dominating Divine Techniques by a notch!

"But... because the Yin Talisman Technique requires extremely high talent, only the founding patriarch has ever been able to cultivate the Soul-Devouring Heavenly Thunder Divine Skill! That is why our Yin Talisman Sect has gradually declined over the generations!

"To say such supreme Thunder Techniques are merely ’considerably greater’ than the Divine Thunder Illusion Technique is very wrong, especially wrong!"

Hearing this, Lin Xuankong’s face showed surprise. The Yin Talisman Sect was confined within the Great Marsh Prefecture, barely maintaining its foundation with the aid of the sect’s Grand Array in Four-direction City, and even the Black Tiger Gang could suppress it... Who knew the ancestors once had such formidable legacies? They possessed powerful Thunder Techniques comparable to the Divine Techniques of the Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect, the number one Celestial Sect in the world?

At this moment, Nalan Yunzhu nodded slightly. Having remained silent throughout, she evidently couldn’t hold back any longer and said, "According to the sect’s records of the terrifying power of the Soul-Devouring Heavenly Thunder Divine Skill, if the talent requirement were slightly lower... our Yin Talisman Sect would have long stood side by side with the Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect, dominating countless other sects. These two Thunder Techniques, compared to the Divine Thunder Illusion Technique, are like the difference between clouds and mud! It’s truly a pity that no one can cultivate them..."

Listening to Lin Jiao’s loud, rapid-fire speech, Lin Xuankong’s ears were already buzzing... Now, hearing Nalan Yunzhu say the same, his heart suddenly throbbed with excitement.

Such powerful Thunder Techniques, right before my eyes...

Nearby, Steward Hu pointed to a round imprint on the Fourth Jade and said, "Steward Lin, don’t blame Lin Jiao for his blunt words. He may sound harsh, but he speaks the truth!

"The imprint of the Soul-Devouring Heavenly Thunder Divine Skill on this Fourth Jade was left by the founding patriarch, Ancestor Jiang.

"In the thousand years since, our Yin Talisman Sect has had only him, with his Nine-Seal Talent, who could cultivate the Soul-Devouring Heavenly Thunder Divine Skill and leave the Divine Skill’s Celestial Thunder imprint on this Fourth Jade!

"It’s lamentable that in the millennia that followed, among the thousands, even tens of thousands of disciples per generation—totaling perhaps hundreds of thousands, if not millions—no one else has ever managed to cultivate the Soul-Devouring Heavenly Thunder Divine Skill!

"If the heavens are merciful and a disciple of the Yin Talisman Sect can one day master the Soul-Devouring Heavenly Thunder Divine Skill again, Sect Leader Jiang herself would probably worship that disciple! At that time, our Yin Talisman Sect would begin its glorious rise, stepping into the ranks of the major peak sects!"

Speaking of this, a glimmer of anticipation appeared in the eyes of Hu Shuo and the other two.

Hu Shuo, a dignified mid-grade Third Layer Steward, walked up to the Fourth Jade. With incomparable respect and admiration on his face, he gazed at the round imprint on the jade stone... Moments later, this Steward, who clearly had deep affection for the Yin Talisman Sect, knelt with utmost reverence before the Celestial Thunder imprint left by the founding patriarch!

Lin Jiao grinned broadly and lamented, "It’s a pity. A Nine-Seal Talent as world-defying as the founding patriarch’s might not appear again even in ten thousand years..."

Kneeling before the Fourth Jade, Steward Hu’s expression turned stern. He turned and glared fiercely at Lin Jiao. Lin Jiao faltered, scratched his head, and dared not speak further.

The three were engrossed in their emotions and failed to notice the intense anticipation gleaming in Lin Xuankong’s eyes—an anticipation far more fervent than what they had just shown!

Divine Thunder Illusion Technique!

Aurora Heaven-Brightening Technique!

Soul-Devouring Heavenly Thunder Divine Skill!

Today, I will learn them all!

That Soul-Devouring Heavenly Thunder Divine Skill, the one with the highest talent requirement—doesn’t it just demand a Nine-Seal Talent and Eighteen Divine Thunder Roots?!

I want to see...

this Thunder Technique, described by Steward Hu and the others as so mystical,

this Soul-Devouring Heavenly Thunder Divine Skill they spoke of with such admiration,

this Soul-Devouring Heavenly Thunder Divine Skill that Steward Hu knelt and kowtowed to—is it truly that formidable? Is it really unparalleled in the world, invincible in attack?!

Once I master it, there’s no need for Steward Hu to kowtow to me! The Charming Chief Steward kowtowing to me once will suffice... Hmm? Don’t get carried away. Stay calm. Time to practice!
