The first thing he noticed was the increase to his life span. Usually, those who reach the third mortal coil gain an extra 100 years to live, which puts their total at 250 years. But his situation is clearly different from that.
The source of his difference is the Everlasting Wood Art. This cultivation technique gave him an exuberant life force, which makes him capable of healing his injuries rapidly and translates to an extra life span.
When he reached the second mortal coil, the Everlasting Wood Art had given him more than double the life span he ought to have received. The same thing had happened now too.
When he reached the second mortal coil, he received more than a 100-year extra life span instead of 50 years. The reason why his life span had been 165 years instead of over 200 years was because the lightning mark had taken a huge chunk out of his life span.
The loss of life span is the cost that mortals have to pay for borrowing the power of heaven. But he doesn't have to pay that cost now because he has united wood with lightning and has therefore become a source of lightning himself.
The heavens no longer consider him an interloper or a usurper of its power. So he can borrow the power of lightning without any cost to his life span.
The lack of cost of life span plus the increase of 235 years to his life span is why his total life span soared from 165 years to 400 years. He is now closer to the life span of golden core elders than anyone ever could at the third mortal coil.
He chuckled and said, "Achieving the third mortal coil at age 43 is already impressive and fast enough. But my life span makes me seem even younger, and my achievements seem even more impressive."
The usual goal is to reach the third mortal coil before 50 years old. That is to transcend the second mortal coil before 30% of one's 150-year life span is over.
If this goal is achieved, one would gain a total life span of 250 years, so they would have lived up to 20% of their life span. But in his situation, he has only lived 10.5% of his life span, which makes him appear younger than he should be.
But not everything is settled about the consequences of borrowing the power of heaven. He still has to pay the price of being assimilated by lightning, though.
Fortunately, the Everlasting Wood Art came to his rescue again. The Everlasting Wood Art keeps him grounded in the mortal world and prevents him from being pulled upwards to become a part of heavenly lightning.
Aside from this, the fact that he can make his own lightning with wood means the source of his power is not in the heavens. He is an independent source of lightning, so he won't be assimilated by the heavens anymore.
The extra lifespan, the healing, and the negation of the consequences of cultivating the Divine Lightning Armament technique are all benefits that Elder Storm Hawk told him that cultivating the Everlasting Wood Intent will bring.
These benefits are already great, but they are just the beginning. Now that he has reached the third mortal coil, he can now sense and speak with plants through his Everlasting Wood Art, and he can also call down lightning from the sky through the Divine Lightning Armament technique.
These two new abilities are more like talents. They were granted to him through his foundation. He didn't learn them.
These talents are another manifestation of his immense potential. They are similar to his attribute-less mana affinity and do not cost him energy to use.
Every person at the third mortal coil who uses a wonder, be it natural or artificial, gains these talents. In the case of Elder Storm Hawk, she too has the lightning call talent and can transform into a lightning hawk, which gives her the ability to fly.
Elder Blood Spider has the ability to communicate with spiders, transform into a humanoid spider, and make webs. Elder Battle Furnace has fire resistance and the ability to transform into a humanoid volcano.
The transformation abilities are unique to those with special foundations like the armament of the Blood Skull sect. But every other cultivator at the third mortal coil that uses a wonder also gains something like the ability to communicate with plants or fire resistance.
