Chapter 60: Verse 10: He who has attained the fourth level of thunder, ets the master upon leaving the pass.
The Yi Number Hook Exchange Diagram, a rare Daoist formation-type magical treasure.
According to what the immortal voice had said, one could activate the Celestial Daoyan Formation, the River Map Four Symbols Eight Trigrams Array, and the Dragon Diagram Turtle Scripture Formation with this magical treasure.
On one hand, it could be used to defeat enemies, and on the other hand, it would naturally be infinitely beneficial for Luo Yan to study the way of formations.
However, the real question was why Qiu Changtian wanted to exchange items for Luo Yan?
After helping Luo Yan exchange items, what would Qiu Changtian say to Ziwei Master if asked what was exchanged after going out?
Thinking this, he skipped over the Yi Number Hook Exchange Diagram and looked towards the last one, the middle volu of Five Thunder True Law.
It needs to be clarified here that the “Five Thunders” of the Five Thunder True Law refer to the five forms of Thunder thod:
Heavenly Thunder, Divine Thunder, Water Thunder, Dragon Thunder, and Community Thunder, each with different effects.
Heavenly Thunder summons tribulations, Divine Thunder suppresses demons, Water Thunder eliminates the spirits of rivers and seas, Dragon Thunder is responsible for cloud-moving and rain-bringing, and Community Thunder is used to declare the heralding of heroes.
For example, when Guan Yu was defeated at Maicheng, captured by Lu ng, and executed, the startling thunder that sounded between heaven and earth was Community Thunder.
Startled by the Community Thunder, Lu ng fell seriously ill after returning to Jiangdong and passed away shortly afterward.
In summary, the “Five Thunders” of the “Five Thunder True Law” are purely divided by form.
If divided by the nature of the Thunder thod, then to this day, within the entire Daoist Thunder thod system, there are a total of ten types of thunder.
(As stated above, each of these ten thunders has five forms).
The Jade Pivot Thunder controlled by Qiu Changtian is also the first of the ten thunders, the commanding thunder of Heaven Realm, with trendous destructive power against souls and spirits.
The Shenxiao Thunder, lost in Yangzhou, is the life-extinguishing thunder, with annihilating ability against the flesh; therefore, it adds significant damage to the physically strong demons.
And the three types of Thunder thod recorded in this middle volu of Five Thunder True Law are:
Immortal Capital Thunder, the powerful decree thunder of the Jade Emperor, specially designed to counteract the deities who follow the incense offering path;
Polar Thunder, the mysterious thunder of the North Pole, which specifically kills various mbers of the Dragon Clan and their descendants.
Tai Yi Thunder, the thunder that resonates across three realms, although it doesn’t have any specific targets, its characteristic is having an extrely large area of effect, capable of blasting mountains and filling seas.
These three types of Thunder thod could be imdiately cultivated by Qiu Changtian as soon as he acquired them.
Moreover, according to “Shenxiao Yuqing’s Scrutiny of the Great Law of Five Thunders,” if one masters the first nine types of Thunder thod among the “ten thunders,” one can cultivate the last thunder, “Taiji Thunder.”
The so-called Taiji Thunder was the thunder of heaven and earth’s creation, separation of purity and turbidity, possessing nearly supre terrifying power…
Contemplating this, and combining Luo Yan’s previous reminder, Qiu Changtian finally made a decision.
He would choose the middle volu of Five Thunder True Law!
I want to walk to the end on the path of the Thunder thod King!
Once he chose the Daoist text, the text imdiately transford into countless points of light, entering his spiritual platform and becoming mories of Daoist Magic.
With a brief recollection by Qiu Changtian, it imdiately appeared before his eyes, word for word, without the slightest error.
Having chosen the reward, the other two items also disappeared, and he heard the woman’s voice say:
“You have received your reward; the trial in the Pavilion is now over. You may leave quickly.”
In a whirl of heaven and earth, Qiu Changtian was transported out of the Pavilion, returning to the splendid palace gate of the outside world.
As he flew back to the ng Chong on the rainbow light, Qiu Changtian saw Ziwei Master and Elder Shi Ding standing side by side at the bow, looking over.
“A great master produces an excellent student, the ancients truly did not deceive ,” Elder Shi Ding said with a smile, stroking his beard. “Nephew Qiu has obtained the first place in this trial at the Pavilion, you’ll be able to hold your head high when you return to Kunlun.”
“Hmph,” Ziwei Master revealed a faint smile but retorted, “With Daoist Heart Clarity, if you hadn’t taken first place, how could we talk about a once-in-an-age talent?”
Qiu Changtian landed on the deck with Sword Control, greeted his master and Elder Shi Ding, and then recounted his final gains in full detail.
Ziwei Master frowned and said:
“Your choice was correct. The Dual Polarity Dust Sword couldn’t possibly be genuine. Despite its impressive na, acquiring it would be of little use to you.”
“The Yi Number Hooking and Exchanging Diagram requires a profound understanding of formation techniques to manipulate at will; it is not very compatible with you,”
“Only that Five Thunder True Law…”
As he spoke, a slight smile appeared on his face:
“Never mind, you must have used the Jade Pivot Thunder in the secret realm. The Pavilion chose this reward because it sensed the Thunder thod in you,”
Qiu Changtian respectfully acknowledged.
“Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin, the thunder’s roar purifies all.” Elder Shi Ding, too, said with a smile, “This thod, at its later stages, possesses supre power. As long as one’s cultivation level doesn’t falter and one delves deeply, it is indeed a path filled with promise.”
“Changtian, go and rest for now,” the Ziwei Master said warmly.
Qiu Changtian nodded in agreent and took his leave.
Only after his departure did the expressions of the two beco solemn again.
Elder Shi Ding expressed his doubts:
“According to usual practice, as the top perforr of the Pavilion, one of the rewards should be a ‘Pure Yuan Qi Pill.’
“Why are there no elixirs this ti? The three rewards—magic sword, magical treasure, Daoist magic—are all techniques of conquest…”
“Elder Shi Ding,” the Ziwei Master pondered for a mont and spoke in a low voice, “I have heard that the Pavilion Secret Realm is connected to the tail of the Divine Land’s Dragon Vein, which can foresee the great trends of destiny. It was the contingency plan of the ancient Heavenly Lord for the unforeseen fall of the Clarify Cult. Is this true or false?”
“It’s just a rumor,” Elder Shi Ding gestured dismissively, “After ten thousand years, it might be an embellishnt or fabrication by later generations; there’s no way to verify it.”
“Yet, before the ancient Clarify Cult t its downfall, the Pavilion did indeed release a batch of powerful magical treasures and spells.”
“But by that ti, the decline of the law and the chaos of war had appeared. The disciples sent by the Clarify Cult to participate in the trials were almost all adept in waging battles.”
“Thus, if the Pavilion rewards tend to strengthen combat capabilities, it may be more related to the disciples’ performance in the secret realm.”
“Let us hope so,” the Ziwei Master said with a sigh, “Without the Pure Yuan Qi Pill, it’s not easy to quickly proceed with Marrow Cleansing, and we will have to arrange another trip to Shushan for him.”
Elder Shi Ding twirled his beard, silent.
On the other side, Qiu Changtian returned to his cabin and imdiately restored Luo Yan’s save file.
[Save point three: Penglai Jade Pure View, dormitory.]
[Character identity: Luo Yan.]
[Overlaying Mirror Flower Water Moon Template, in the midst of ti-space travel.]
Luo Yan’s save point was shortly after the Kunlun envoy group departed, just after receiving the news about the Pavilion from Elder Shi Ding.
Following the previous plan, he first went to find his senior brother, Linghu Chu.
Senior brother Linghu Chu, who looked like a man in his early twenties, had a rather carefree and unruly image.
At this mont, he was sitting in his room, drinking alcohol while munching on a plate of fried peanuts. Seeing Luo Yan push the door open and co in, he quickly stood up and enthusiastically said:
“Junior brother, you’ve co at the right ti! I have a pot of thousand-year-old polygonum root dicinal wine here. Drinking it can increase one’s cultivation by sixty years. Want to try it?”
“Don’t try to fool , senior brother,” Luo Yan said coldly. “Last ti you tricked into drinking that vermilion fruit wine, claiming ‘drinking it would increase my cultivation by half a sixty-year cycle.’ Why was it ineffective?”
“Ahem, the effect of the vermilion fruit wine is rather slow, probably taking about thirty years to fully digest. Don’t be so hasty,” said Linghu Chu, laughing sheepishly. “Why not try my new brew, its effects are twice that of the vermilion fruit wine!”
“If the effects are doubled, is the digestion ti doubled as well?” Luo Yan laughed in exasperation.
“Yes! Junior brother, you truly have great comprehension…”
“Enough of that. Elder Sister Shi said if you drink alcohol again, she would take a hundred jars from those buried in your backyard and pour old vinegar into them.”
Linghu Chu’s face turned ashen, and he cried out in panic:
“That simply cannot be! This new wine is like a virgin, only I am allowed to unseal it—the rest of you mustn’t touch it!”
Luo Yan: ?
So, the senior brother is still a dam older brother?
