The Nine Heavens Wind-Riding Thunder-Controlling Technique is originally a Primordial Spirit Level Technique.
But Zhang Jian, who is only at the Middle Stage of the Golden Core, has prematurely completed this technique, evolving towards the Yin Spirit Level, which is quite astonishing.
Usually, cultivators at the Golden Core Realm comprehend Yin Spirit Level Techniques during the Late Stage of Golden Core, after achieving harmony with their Pill Qi, attempting to comprehend the Heaven and Earth Dao Mark, engraving the Dao Mark into their Golden Core to assist in Pill Break Divinity Transformation.
However, Zhang Jian felt it was like water flowing naturally.
There was no sense of forcefulness.
Magical Power from within continuously poured into the Nine Heavens Thunder God Talisman, forming a Thunder God Dao Map composed of purple thunder.
And gradually, it took shape.
Zhang Jian had long comprehended the Nine Heavens Wind-Riding Thunder-Controlling Technique, knowing that to break through to the Yin Spirit Level, eighteen Dao Maps would form.
Nine Wind God Maps and nine Thunder God Maps.
Comprehending any one of them could be considered stepping into the Yin Spirit Level.
If one succeeds in stepping into the Yin Spirit Realm, they could integrate it into their Yin Spirit, manifesting a Thunder God Dharma Aspect, thereby protecting the fragile Yin Spirit and transforming it into a vessel.
In this way, one could traverse through heaven and earth.
And if one comprehends all eighteen Yin Spirit Maps, they could eventually transform into a Profound Nether True Dragon, with the Profound Nether True Dragon merging into the Dharma Aspect, transforming oneself into Celestial Thunder Venerable.
This is the foundation of the Primordial Spirit.
Of course, this is the highest class of Primordial Spirit foundation.
If one is not careful, they might directly transform their Primordial Spirit into a Profound Nether True Dragon.
The Profound Nether True Dragon body commands the power of wind and thunder.
Although that would grant the True Dragon Body and a long lifespan, it essentially deviates from the Dao Map of the Nine Heavens Wind-Riding Thunder-Controlling Technique.
But nonetheless, that would still be a Primordial Spirit Master.
Zhang Jian cultivates the Nine Heavens Wind-Riding Thunder-Controlling Technique but does not take it as his life's Dharma Gate.
His better choice is to align with the Treasure Record in the King's Cauldron Demon-Vanquishing Skill!
Using the Sheji King Tripod to merge with the Yin Spirit, manifest a Sheji Emperor's Primordial Spirit, commanding the Brocade Universe, and stabilizing heaven and earth with the tripod.
As for the Divine Beast Primordial Spirit and the Thunder God Primordial Spirit, he finds them ill-suited for his Dao path.
Rumble!!
Thunder light leaped within the small courtyard.
Dense streaks of lightning rumbled in the small courtyard, always avoiding both Zhang Jian and the large date tree beside him.
"Husband?"
Qi Yuhua saw this scene, a hint of delight appearing on her jade-like face. Although slightly astonished, Qi Yuhua wasn't worried.
She and Zhang Lu were long accustomed to such scenarios.
Every time Zhang Jian cultivates, there's always something unusual.
They had come to regard them as common phenomena in the cultivation of cultivators.
Deep within, as the Dao Map took shape, an invisible wailing sound accompanied, black Qi enveloped with strong malice.
"Outer Heaven Demon?"
Zhang Jian opened his eyes, the thunder around him roared downward, instantly enveloping the void in dense Vast Righteous Qi like an arrow rain.
The manifesting Outer Heaven Demon had not yet approached, and was instantly obliterated by the rain of light formed by the Vast Righteous Qi.
Simultaneously, Zhang Jian noticed a faint transformation and growth in his soul's Divine Thought fueled by the stimulus from the formation of the Nine Heavens Thunder God Map.
Though not much growth was there.
This was because his soul's Divine Thought was already massive, and with a significant base, it naturally grew slowly.
"Good stuff!"
Looking at the "Cave Scripture" before his eyes, a trace of a smile appeared in his eyes.
This "Cave Scripture" indeed was made by extraordinary cultivators; its various essences of Thunder Dao, although obscure, were the core of the Thunder Dao.
A classic worthy of revisiting, reading anytime.
Zhang Jian was also encountering such a classic that could be reviewed twice, even thrice, and numerous times for the first time.
Upon seeing Zhang Jian finish practicing, Qi Yuhua personally brought the food and drink forward, while to the side, the two female attendants, Yu Yao and Qu Lian, wore little frowns.
As expected, Zhang Jian soon looked at the two girls with a reproachful gaze.
"My dear wife, let these two little girls handle such minor affairs. You are still with child and mustn't overwork yourself..."
"It's fine. With the Phoenix Blood Jade you gave me, I feel light and healthy!"
Qi Yuhua's face was full of gentleness at this time, witnessing this, an additional hint of gentleness involuntarily reflected on Zhang Jian's face.
"Lady, look at this date tree…"
Just then, Yu Yao's surprised voice was heard from the side.
Qi Yuhua, along with Zhang Lu, who was smirking beside her, looked over to see the small white flowers on the nearby large date tree growing at a rapid pace, and the leaf veins visibly widening.
Some white flowers on the tree withered, revealing small dates sprouting visibly within.
This scene was mysterious and extraordinary.
"Husband, what's happening…"
At this moment, Qi Yuhua was also full of amazement, instinctively stepping forward, raising a hand to touch the bark of the large date tree, faintly feeling as though the tree had grown thicker.
"This date tree indeed has some fortune!"
Zhang Jian gazed with a slight smile.
This old date tree in the courtyard already had some years; with the rain and dew Spirit Charm each time he refined techniques beside it, it naturally developed some vigor.
Qi Yuhua's eyes lingered on the date tree, with a trace of laughter appearing in her eyes, showing her delight.
She did have a fondness for such crispy dates.
...
In front of Chengguang Sect
Jingming Daoist appeared before the Three-Eyed Exorcism Well, alongside Dong Jue Daoist, both wearing solemn expressions. With a thought, Jingming Daoist's figure disappeared into the central Exorcism Well.
The well was deep, the bottom filled with intense and dark Evil Qi and resentment.
Jingming Daoist continued stepping into it, feeling countless cold Spiritual Mechanisms drill into every pore, a layer of shapeless Magical Power spread around him, forming a protective Profound Light, blocking the chilling Evil Qi.
After descending more than a dozen feet underground, the bottom of the well widened increasingly. He saw a dim iron-chain bridge spanning above the dark well water, with sections tied to eight Eight Trigrams Ancient Mirrors each.
There were a total of eight of them.
At the center of the well stood a massive stone pillar, with a golden Eight Trigrams Treasure Mirror embedded deep within.
That was the Pure Yang Treasure Mirror.
However, upon seeing it, Jingming Daoist's expression immediately changed, as he saw the Pure Yang Treasure Mirror's center turn green, growing numerous corpse-blotched terrifying green fur.
"Corpse Qi has leaked to such a degree?"
Jingming Daoist's face twitched, looking downward to find a massive Golden Coffin now standing upright, surrounded by numerous chains, but those chains were stained with purplish-red smudges of blood.
The well walls were lined with countless runes.
These runes inscribed with Ancient Golden Script, containing immense Marvelous Power, and below them, nine Coiling Dragons propped up a jade disk, each dragon clutching a Dragon Pearl, yet their heads awkwardly twisted, facing the enormous Golden Coffin.
Countless Yin Qi and Dragon Qi were nourishing the emperor's demon corpse within the Golden Coffin.
"Not good!"
Jingming Daoist's mind flashed this thought, and in an instant, he saw the well's water turning red!
Immediately, with a non-human roar, wave after wave of terrifying Corpse Qi erupted, as if a Black Dragon emerged from within, swiftly enveloping the entire Three-Eyed Exorcism Well.
Meanwhile, from the other side of the well's bottom, ghostly gnawing sounds came, accompanied by another inhuman voice echoing in response.
"Both corpses have mutated!"
