These talents that cultivators of the third mortal coil gain from their foundation after advancing are one of the reasons why they were not allowed to compete for the inheritance of Daoist Blood Pill in the secret realm.
Their talents grant them an extra advantage, which those at the second mortal coil didn't have. Plus they had extra energy storage, so they are considered cheating.
He doesn't have the ability to transform himself into another creature, but he is not lacking in talents because not only does he benefit from both the Everlasting Wood Art and the Divine Lightning Armament, but he also gained a new source of benefits from the Life and Death Lightning Art.
The talent from the Everlasting Wood Art is the plant affinity and communication ability. This ability is similar to Thor's ability to communicate with metal. They are both talents that allow them to use mana to communicate with animate and even inanimate things.
The Lightning Call talent and the Lightning Resistance talent are what he gained from the Divine Lightning Armament technique, while the Overclock talent is what he gained from his foundation.
The Overclock Mode, lightning enhances his body so he becomes faster, perceives the world faster, and thinks faster.
In a way, the Overclock mode is similar to the transformation ability of other cultivators who established their foundations with an armament, so he is not lacking in that aspect.
Those are just four of his talents. The remaining two talents, which are the Wood to Lightning Conversion talent and the Lightning to Wood Conversion talent, are what he gained himself through the way he harmonized and united wood with lightning in his foundation.
These marked two-fourths of the things he gained on his own from transcending the second mortal coil. As for the third group of benefits that he earned on his own, it is the increase to the quantity of his internal energy and the increase to the power of his mind.
After he broke through to the third mortal coil, his mind became more powerful, and he gained more storage for his internal energy. The quantity of his internal energy is still 1,000 units, though. It will take him some time to cultivate and fill both life seeds.
What's notable is that his life energy has disappeared after his life seed took over the role of maintaining his life. As for the increase in power that the third mortal coil will bring, it will take time and effort on his part to realize it.
The effort that he needs to put in is also a part of the benefits that he gained after he reached the third mortal coil. The two host techniques that he needs to master in order to be able to take full advantage of his life experiences experienced a boost in their mastery.
This boost to the mastery of the two host techniques is mostly due to the top-grade quality of his foundation and the implementation of the ideas he had about giving life-seed terminals in the design of his foundation.
This boost is also just the beginning of what he will gain from the top-grade quality and the special design of his foundation.
A 10% mastery means he can only combine 10% of the power of all of his life seeds. The power he will earn from that is very small right now.
He will be better off just using a single life seed because 10% of two life seeds is less than 100% of one life seed. If he were at the tenth transformation and had up to 1,024 life seeds, then the opposite would be the case.
The power he will gain from 10% of 1,024 life seeds will be worth 102.4 life seeds combined. The tenth transformation seems like a long way away, but thanks to the quality and design of his foundation, he won't have to wait a long time to reach the tenth transformation.
This is because, unlike other cultivators at the third mortal coil, he won't have any bottlenecks both in the transformation of his foundation and the conversion of his potential into power. This is perhaps the best benefit he will gain from working so hard on his foundation.
The last benefit he gained on his own for breaking through to the third mortal coil is the high mastery of Life and Death Lightning Art.
He started at a mastery of 51% for the Life and Death Lightning Art. This was because the unity of lightning and wood in his foundation and the compatibility of his foundation are very high.
For now, this high mastery in the Life and Death Lightning Art doesn't mean much to him. It won't bring him any benefit or increase his power.
The mastery of the Life and Death Lightning Art is more of a guide to ensuring that his the lightning and wood element within him are in harmony. But the mastery in it will mean a lot when he reaches the peak of the third mortal coil and wants to transcend to the fourth mortal coil.
At the peak of the third mortal coil, his mastery of the Life and Death Lightning Art will determine if he can dare to make the attempt to transcend the third mortal coil or not.
50% mastery of the Life and Death Lightning Art and reaching the seventh transformation of the third mortal coil are the minimum requirements for him to reach the fourth mortal coil.
They are just the minimum requirements to transcend the third mortal coil, and as such cannot guarantee success in the attempt. But the sooner he can meet any of the requirements, the less time he will have to spend at the third mortal coil.
Now that he has met the minimum requirement for the Life and Death Lightning Art, he will have to do less work in his time in the third mortal coil in order to reach 100% mastery of it.
