Chapter 1118 Conditions for Advancing to the Void Refinement Stage

Innate supernatural powers are merely the most basic state of mobilizing the primordial energy of heaven and earth; beyond that lies the grotto-heaven.

It not only borrows the primordial energy of heaven and earth, but also the power of the laws of heaven and earth.

How to borrow it is through the laws and rhythms, that is, the spiritual rhythms that contain the laws of heaven and earth, which usually contain a trace of the power of the laws.

An attack imbued with the essence of laws and principles, even if it is just the most ordinary spell or divine power, will possess incredible power.

For example, the most basic fireball technique, which contains a trace of the Daoist principles of fire, can easily kill a Nascent Soul cultivator.

This is something that one is generally qualified to touch only after reaching the Refinement of Emptiness realm.

Even though it's just a superficial borrowing of interface rules, it's enough to cause a surge in supernatural abilities.

Ning Fa was shocked and overjoyed.

Although he had read the Tianji Spirit Scroll long ago and knew the author's theory, the Tianji Spirit Scroll did not mention the specific division between the innate and the cave heaven, which he had just obtained from the inherited information.

The special thunderous Dao aura before Ning Fa was a special feedback after his advancement to the Nascent Soul stage, containing a trace of the power of the Thunder Law.

This would allow him to advance directly from the peak of the fourth-order Innate Divine Thunder to the Cave Heaven Divine Thunder.

Once unleashed, it is like a tribulation lightning bolt, containing a trace of the power of the laws of heaven and earth. Although it is only a superficial application, its power is absolutely unquestionable.

Ning Fa then realized why the Supreme Gold and Supreme Wood Divine Thunder, which had already reached the peak of the fourth rank, could not advance to the next rank. It turned out that the fifth-rank Cave Heaven Divine Thunder was so powerful that it was naturally impossible to advance to the next rank easily.

Just as Ning Fa was pondering which divine lightning to use to absorb the Dao of Thunder and advance to the Cave Heaven Divine Lightning, a mysterious inheritance information appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness once again.

Ning Fa closed his eyes to meditate for a full hour. When he reopened his eyes, his expression was one of shock.

As expected, after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, he also obtained the conditions to advance to the Void Refinement stage.

The conditions for this advancement are far more complex and difficult than those for advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.

Specifically, it consists of three steps.

The first step requires him to advance all five of his divine thunders to the level of cave-heaven divine thunders, which is definitely much more difficult than advancing to the level of innate divine thunders.

The second step is to build a "divine bridge" to connect the five Thunder Sea Divine Treasures. The ultimate goal is to connect the five Thunder Sea Divine Treasures to each other through the divine bridge, forming a cycle of mutual generation of the five elements.

The third step is to combine these five Thunder Sea Divine Treasures into one, forming the final Thunder Sea Divine Treasure, namely the Chaos Thunder Sea.

This is the unity of the five elements necessary for cultivators with the Five Elements Thunder Body to break through to the Void Refinement stage; only in this way can they be qualified to advance to the Void Refinement stage.

Although there are only three steps, each step is extremely difficult.

The first step is to upgrade all five divine thunders to the Cave Heaven Divine Thunder.

Although the current thunderous Daoist aura could allow one of Ning Fa's divine thunderbolts to directly advance to the Cave Heaven Divine Thunder level, he only needed to advance the other four divine thunderbolts to the Cave Heaven level.

However, the advancement of the Heavenly Thunder requires specific laws and Daoist principles, and these principles must be compatible with the attributes of this particular divine thunder.

The reason why this thunderous Daoist aura can be used for any kind of divine thunder is because it is a feedback of the law and has no attribute.

Ning Fa had never heard of the term "Dao Yun" before, so he had no idea how to obtain it.

However, just by looking at its connection with the power of laws, one can tell that it is absolutely extraordinary, which undoubtedly illustrates the difficulty of advancing from the innate divine thunder to the cave heaven.

The second step, building the sacred bridge, may sound simple, but it is by no means easy.

Because the construction of the divine bridge requires unimaginably precious spiritual materials.

It must follow the principle of mutual generation of the five elements. For example, wood generates fire. The main material for the divine bridge built from the Wood Thunder Sea God's Hidden Cave to the Fire Thunder Sea God is the heart feather of the Nine Yang Azure Phoenix.

The Nine-Yang Azure Phoenix is ​​a direct descendant of the legendary true spirit, the Azure Phoenix. An adult Nine-Yang Azure Phoenix is ​​at least at the Refinement of Emptiness realm, and its Heart Feather is its most precious possession, a genuine top-tier sixth-order spiritual material.

The reason why it is needed as the main material is because the Nine Yang Azure Phoenix is ​​a spirit beast with both wood and fire attributes.

It can be said that the value of this single main ingredient is immeasurable; even a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage would find it extremely difficult to obtain. Moreover, there are many other auxiliary spiritual materials, whose value, while not as high as the Nine Yang Azure Phoenix Heart Feather, is still immeasurable.

For example, the ten-thousand-year-old Fusang wood marrow and the Azure Flame Thunder Dew are both sixth-order spiritual materials.

The key point is that this is only one of the sacred bridges; there are four other sacred bridges.

It also needs to be built according to the principle of mutual generation of the five elements. The main and auxiliary materials required are different, but the level is basically the same, and the attributes are strictly required.

The key spiritual materials are all at the sixth rank, and most of them are completely unknown to Ning Fa.

As for this crucial third step, it seems easier than the first two, but it requires finding a special place and setting up a special ceremony to begin merging the five seas of thunder into one.

Although the description is simple, it is clearly not easy.

The difficulty and stringent conditions of advancing the Five Elements Thunder Body to the Void Refinement Realm were enough to make Ning Fa's scalp tingle just thinking about it.

It seems that after advancing to the Divine Transformation stage, the Five Elements Thunder Body not only greatly increases its strength, but also significantly raises the requirements for advancement.

This made him understand once again why the Heavenly Pivot Spirit Scroll said that beings like the Five Elements Thunder Body or the Profound Dragon Body must be cultivated with the full strength of their clan.

What comforted Ning Fa was that whether it was advancing to a higher realm with divine lightning or building a divine bridge between the seas of lightning, both would greatly enhance his strength.

For example, building a divine bridge between the two seas of thunder, namely the Supreme Wood and the Supreme Fire, would not only enhance the power of both divine thunders, but also allow him to freely transform the Supreme Wood Divine Thunder into the Supreme Fire Divine Thunder.

It can be said that every time a divine thunder advances to a higher realm, and every time a divine bridge is built, his strength increases by a few points.

Therefore, his process of seeking advancement to the Void Refinement stage is also a process of gradually increasing his strength.

Ning Fa calmed the turmoil in his heart, looked at the thunderous Daoist aura before him again, and after a moment's thought, decided to use it for his Supreme Golden Divine Thunder.

Because the Supreme Gold Divine Thunder is most focused on killing, especially since he is a sword cultivator who has reached the third step of sword cultivation, his sword power will definitely increase significantly after the Supreme Gold Divine Thunder advances to the Cave Heaven Divine Thunder.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa directly opened his mouth and inhaled the thunderous Daoist energy.

Soon, within the Golden Thunder Sea Divine Treasury opened in his lungs, this thunderous Daoist aura manifested and directly entered the Thunder Sea Divine Treasury, which had transformed into the shape of a sharp sword.

The Thunder Sea Divine Treasury burst forth with lightning, and within it emerged a slightly blurry white sword, radiating mysterious halos and a unique aura—the aura unique to the laws of the Great Dao.

Ning Fa reopened his eyes, his face showing surprise. With his palm facing upward, a white lightning bolt appeared.

The surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) surged towards him. Moreover, Ning Fan could clearly sense the resonance between the Supreme Golden Divine Thunder in his hand and the surrounding天地.

A mysterious rune began to appear on the surface of the lightning bolt. A great deal of spiritual energy from heaven and earth flowed into it, causing the rune to light up rapidly and making the power emitted by the lightning bolt reach an extremely terrifying level.

With a soft shout from Ning Fa, the divine lightning from the cave heaven shot out.

In the blink of an eye, a deserted island hundreds of miles in size was first enveloped in a fierce lightning bolt, and then everything on the island was directly melted away in the terrifying lightning. The deserted island disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Even Ning Fa was astonished when he saw such terrifying power.

As expected of the Divine Thunder of the Cave Heaven, even without using it at full power, it already possesses such terrifying might.

It is likely that even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would find it extremely difficult to resist and would have to pay a huge price.

But after unleashing this attack, Ning Fa immediately felt that a large portion of his Supreme Golden Divine Thunder had been consumed.

He estimated that if he could use the Golden Divine Thunder of the Cave Heaven twice more without touching the source of the divine thunder, he should be able to use it twice more.

However, it is believed that no Nascent Soul cultivator could remain unharmed after he unleashed three Heavenly Thunders, especially if he were to activate the Heavenly Thunder Realm, which would further enhance the power of the Heavenly Thunders.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa couldn't help but smile, and the bitterness he felt from the difficulty of advancing his Five Elements Thunder Body to the Void Refinement Realm vanished.

Although advancement is difficult, the resulting powerful combat strength is undeniable.

Ning Fa had no doubt that even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would have a hard time being his match.
