"Tai Xiao Great Cave Scripture!"
At this moment, Zhang Jian, who was entrusted with high hopes, is still living a monotonous life.
Before him is a Taoist classic from the Dong Shen Temple.
Dong Shen Temple is famous for its Thunder Techniques, and this book also records pure Thunder Technique scriptures. It does not detail the cultivation methods of Thunder Techniques, only expounding on the principles of the Heavenly Dao, the essence of Thunder Techniques, and the rituals for invoking the Thunder God's magic, which Zhang Jian finds quite exquisite.
There are several methods of practicing Thunder Techniques; one is to personally withstand the dangers of Celestial Thunder and gradually subdue it, another is to use Thunder Talismans and rituals to receive the Thunder God's decree, thus subduing the thunder.
Zhang Jian is also adept at Thunder Techniques, but he succeeded by relying on his formidable Thunder Spirit Root foundation.
As Zhang Jian gradually comprehends the Tai Xiao Great Cave Scripture, he feels that through the Tai Xiao Great Cave Talisman, he can connect with a Thunder God will in the Profound Void, making it easier to subdue the thunder.
It's as if the cultivation of the Nine Heavens Thunder Control Technique naturally began.
Deep within his soul, a Dharma Aspect of the Nine Heavens Thunder God Emperor arises, and a moment later, like a Wind Talisman, it transforms into a Nine Heavens Thunder God Talisman deep within his soul.
This Thunder God Talisman sinks, as if activating Zhang Jian's entire being, threads of Thunder Light meld into the depths of his body, the lightning nourishing creation, refining his Innate Dao Embryo Body.
The medicine properties of the Celestial Treasures within Zhang Jian's core seem to completely harmonize with the Innate Dao Embryo Body at this moment, Spiritual Mechanism surges, as the Golden Liquid Dharma Spring converges countless golden runes, forming a golden vortex.
A grain-sized Golden Core, condensed with countless Great Dao principles, takes shape within.
This Golden Core replaces the position of the Golden Liquid Dharma Spring.
After the success of this Golden Core, Zhang Jian's presence exudes a harmonious Primordial atmosphere.
From deep within the Profound Void, the Qiankun Society and State Spiritual Mechanism merges into Zhang Jian's body like a vast ocean, surrounding the Golden Core with layers of Dan Fire, refilling his limbs with magical power.
At this moment, his magical Dao practice increases more than threefold.
Zhang Jian opens his eyes, perceiving the transformation naturally, showing no peculiarities.
His magical power is exceedingly pure, entering the Golden Core Realm poses no challenge for him.
Upon achieving the Golden Core, the several techniques he practiced naturally transformed into Golden Core Level techniques.
Nine Heavens Wind Riding Technique, Cyan Nether Wind Technique, Chaotic Star Technique, Soul Purification Spell, Vermilion Bird Mimicry Technique, Soul Implantation Technique.
The Four-Star Visualization Technique of the Sheji King Tripod had already transformed into a Golden Core Level technique long before.
The progress of the Holy Virtue Sword Cleansing Technique depends on the transformation of the Lifebound Dharma Artifact, Dragon Roar Sword.
When the Dragon Roar Sword transforms from a High-Tier Dharma Artifact to a Magical Treasure, it signifies entering the Golden Core Level.
As for another Lifebound Dharma Artifact, Qianyuan Golden Tripod, it is not far from transforming into a Magical Treasure.
It is certain, given time, everything expected of a Golden Core Realm cultivator will soon converge upon him.
Moreover, at this moment, within his sea of consciousness, there are many peculiar virtual images of magic runes.
These are the natural gathering of rune magic techniques derived from reading parts of classical texts, with some being profound and others shallow.
The initial reading quantity is not much, still insufficient for full condensation.
After breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, Zhang Jian noticed a hint of Dan Red manifesting within the seven-orifice exquisite heart that sparkles in his Jade-like form.
The pure white Vast Flame also condenses a hint of pale red.
This appearance of Dan Red compresses the intense Vast Righteous Qi on his skin, wholly concentrating it deep within his heart, fundamentally undergoing transformation.
"Entered the second stage, Kind Heart and Bones!"
Zhang Jian realizes this, as the pale red Vast True Flame burns, his soul seemingly bathed in Pure Yang radiance, his thoughts more fulfilled and harmonious.
His comprehension capacity is also increasing.
Zhang Jian knows that he is entering a period of rapid transformation.
This transformation will be a change brought by the continuous accumulation of knowledge.
With the Golden Core as a foundation, the amount he can comprehend will be greater, and his Dao practice will continually expand.
"Ultimately becoming the Sweeping Monk in the Daqian Imperial Palace, waiting for Daqian to teeter on the brink, then come out to turn the tide?"
This peculiar thought flashes in Zhang Jian's mind.
He then shakes his head and laughs.
This is impossible.
The more likely outcome is sweeping through the armies and reclaiming the old lands.
Supplanting them in succession.
...
Within Dong Shen Temple, as Zhang Jian further advances the seven-orifice exquisite heart, a surge of intense Vast Righteous Qi shoots straight to Han Xiao, breaking through the obstruction of Dragon and Tiger Qi.
Such bright and pure thoughts cause many cultivators inside and outside the Court to sense something.
Inside Dong Shen Temple
Jingming Daoist is discussing the matter of Ming King Changli with an elderly Daoist with white hair and beard.
Ming King Changli harbors considerable secrets, but unfortunately, to prevent the Xuan Du Sect from taking him away, they had to use their last resort, using him as bait to extinguish the Gu God's True Body.
Exchanging a Rebel King for the life of a Yin Spirit Venerable and dealing a heavy blow to the Xuan Du Sect Ancestor appears to be a great win, but Jingming Daoist feels uneasy.
Suddenly, both Daoists sense something, their gaze turning towards the direction of the Sports and Arts College.
"Vast Righteous Qi?"
Dongzhen Daoist glanced, his gaze slightly narrowed, the magnificent Vast Righteous Qi being extremely potent, repelling spirits and demons effortlessly.
He couldn't help but say.
"The Emperor's Decree allowing Scholar Zhang to enter the Sports and Arts College to compile the 'Daqian Complete Book' is indeed the right choice. A scholar possessing Vast Righteous Qi, to cultivate this Qi, the best method is writing books and spreading knowledge widely; however, Scholar Zhang's luck isn't great. In ancient times, it was rumored there was a way to cultivate the Path of the Saints and Sages, but it all fell upon the Yu Saint a thousand years ago!"
"After his departure, the Dao Lineage of the Saints and Sages was completely lost. It is said that those demons and fiends were afraid of the power of Vast Righteous Qi and devised a grand chaos, destroying the ancient society and the cultivation techniques of the Path of the Saints and Sages. To become a saint with Vast Righteous Qi now is almost impossible!"
Jingming Daoist nods; if the Court can cultivate a scholar possessing Vast Righteous Qi, it would only be beneficial for Dong Shen Temple.
Dong Shen Temple is now linked with the Court's destiny; one prospers, they all prosper; one suffers, they all suffer.
Many cultivators within Dong Shen Temple also desire to use the Court's foundation to tread the Path of Longevity.
Dongzhen then sighs.
"Jingming, be careful moving forward, the Xuan Du Sect Ancestor is just the pawn, now numerous heterodox sects know your master is not in Haojing, they won't let this rest, although you don't need to worry about the Imperial Palace, within Haojing City is within our jurisdiction!"
Jingming Daoist also understands the gravity of the situation.
Dong Shen Temple has dominated Heaven and Earth for hundreds of years, capturing the Court's destiny, achieving considerable influence, but also making countless enemies!
These people won't miss a chance!
