Chapter 53: Lightning Element
"I won't be able to advance any further," Chen Tian thought to himself, sighing, as he scanned the Yin-Yang diagram within his dantian.
After both sides of the Yin-Yang diagram had turned dim, there was no longer any energy flowing through them. Chen Tian had reached a bottleneck in his cultivation, and it appeared that further progress would be impossible without a means of obtaining more energy."
He let out a deep sigh and closed his eyes, trying to calm his mind and think of a solution.
"Forget it, there is no other way; I should be happy just to reach this level in this place." Reaching the Qi Refinement Realm in this place that was devoted to Qi was already a great accomplishment.
Either way, Chen Tian had other ways to advance his cultivation faster, but he will need to go back to the Tevat Continent to do that.
While lost in deep thought, Chen Tian suddenly remembered the treasure he had obtained from the Kunlun mountain.
He decided to take a closer look at the treasure and see if it held any secrets that could help him. Chen Tian got up from the ground and took a bag that was lying there on the ground.
He opened it and found the treasure from Kunlun Mountain. As he examined it closely, Chen Tian took eight crystals that were inside the bag and held them up to the light.
The crystals were glowing with a soft blue light and seemed to pulsate with energy.
They were the immortal stones that Chen Tian took before leaving the Kunlun Mountains.
As for what an immortal stone is, it is a rare and precious mineral that contains immense amounts of spiritual energy.
Well, for the great cultivators (readers) that have gone down the path of cultivation for many years, they should already know the use of these stones.
However, for those who are new to cultivation, Chen Tian will explain the purpose of these stones using simple language that even a toddler can understand.
These stones serve as a source of energy for cultivators, much like Red Bull, but without the wings.
They can be used to help the immortal cultivators to cultivate faster and increase their strength. Or used to create formations They are highly sought after and valuable in the world of cultivation.
These stones can be used for many purposes. They are also the currency used in the Immortal Realm.
Of course, there are various levels of these stones, ranging from grade one immortal stones to grade ten immortal stones. Every 100 grade one stones are equal to one grade two stone, and 100 grade two stones are equal to one grade three stone, and so on until grade ten.
Using his divine sense, Chen Tian scanned the stones. As he had reached the Qi Refinement Realm, his divine sense had grown stronger, allowing him to sense that these stones were at least Grade Seven immortal stones. This discovery surprised him, as finding this type of stone on Earth was impossible.
Regrettably, the stones he found only contained a faint aura, but they were still suitable for making formations. Chen Tian did not consider using them for his cultivation as his level was still too low. Only an immortal cultivator could absorb the Immortal Qi within the stones, and for a mortal like him, they were useless.
After carefully putting the stones back into the bag, Chen Tian smiled to himself. He knew that with these stones, he could create a formation around the house that would accelerate the rate of Qi flow. This would make it easier for his wives and family to cultivate without any problems.
After putting them back, Chen Tian then took the bronze ring; it was the ring that he found in the cave earlier. He examined it closely and noticed that there were some inscriptions on it. He couldn't understand the meaning of the inscriptions, but he felt that it was a powerful artifact.
Scanning the ring with his divine sense, Chen Tian couldn't sense what grade it was, but he was sure it was at least immortal grade.
"Great! I was in great need of a storage ring. I will bind it to myself and use it to store my belongings without any worries about where to put them." Chen Tian thought excitedly as he began the process of binding the ring to himself.
Chen Tian then bit the tip of his finger and placed a drop of blood on the ring to complete the binding. The ring glowed brightly as the binding was completed. Now that it was bound to the ring, Chen Tian was able to see what was inside of it.
Chen Tian was pleased to discover that the ring had ample storage space, making it perfect for his needs. With a smile on his face, he began transferring his belongings into the ring. First, he placed the bag of immortal stones inside, followed by the piece of the ghost mask fragment.
'Now that's better' Chen Tian then took the last thing, it was the blue crystal that gave him a familiar feeling that he couldn't quite place.
As he held the crystal in his hand,
ZzzrRrr
Chen Tian's dantian began to react to the crystal, causing his eyes to widen in surprise as he realized its unusual nature. 'Perhaps this crystal...' he thought as he used his divine sense to scan it.
Upon contact with his divine sense, the crystal began to glow with a bright blue light. Energy emanated from it, causing it to emit a bright blue light.
Before he could react, the crystal in his hand shot directly at his stomach area and embedded itself into his dantian, causing him to gasp in shock.
"What!"
As he attempted to regain his composure, he suddenly became aware that the crystal had entered his dantian. Without hesitation, he closed his eyes and used his divine sense to investigate.
When he was inside, he observed as the blue crystal flew towards the eleven altars within his dantian.
As the crystal proceeded towards the altars, its destination made him realize what this crystal could be, but he wasn't sure.
When it finally arrived in front of the altar that has the word "Lightning,"
Bam
The crystal shone brightly, illuminating his entire dantian. Gradually, the crystal began moving towards the location where the word "lighting" had been carved. As soon as it made contact, the crystal merged seamlessly with the altar
The moment it happened, Chen Tian felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck him, and he opened his eyes to find himself enveloped in a bright blue aura. He could feel the power of lightning coursing through his body.
"I am neither the master, king, nor lord nor am I its emperor or god. I am its creator!
Lightning should be at my beck and call; I am the one who controls it, and it obeys my every command."
*******
Boom
Outside the mansion, the blue sky turned dark, and clouds began to gather. The sound of thunder echoed through the air as bolts of lightning struck in the sky.
Bang
"Ahh! What is happening!?" Aria, who was eating her food, screamed as she was startled by the sudden change in weather. She quickly got up from her seat and rushed to the window to see what was going on outside.
As she looked out, she saw that the sky had turned completely dark and that the wind was picking up speed. The trees were swaying violently, and debris was flying around in the air.
"Is it going to rain? I just checked the weather, and it said it was going to be sunny today." Aria thought to herself as she tried to make sense of the sudden weather change. She decided to stay by the window for a while, hoping that it would clear up soon.
"Sis, what are you doing?"
As she gazed out the window, Aria suddenly heard a voice calling her from behind. She turned around and saw her younger sister standing there, her eyes brimming with curiosity.
With a smile, Aria explained, "I'm just observing the weather; it seems to be getting quite tumultuous out there. Although the forecast predicted a sunny day, I believe it will rain." She then led her sister to the couch, and they both settled down to watch the storm intensify outside.
"I was startled by the sudden, loud thundering. These days, we cannot trust the weather news." Leng Zhiqing looked at Aria and said,
"Mm, you're right," Aria said, nodding in agreement.
"Sis, did something happen between you and Tian?"
As both of them watched the dark sky, suddenly Leng Zhiqing asked a question that made Aria pause in shock.
"No, nothing happened between me and Tian," Aria replied, trying to hide her awkwardness.
"Why do you ask?"
"Just wondering. You seem a bit distracted lately." Leng Zhiqing shrugged.
Aria forced a smile. "I'm fine, really. Just a lot on my mind." They both continued to watch the storm, lost in their own thoughts.
