Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 26: Yuan Lei Jue and Mysterious Pattern
Thinking of this, Ning Fa couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. He frowned and began to sort out his previous life's cultivation experience.

After his predecessor confirmed that he had thunder spiritual roots, the Ning family spent a great deal of money to obtain a thunder-related martial arts technique.

But later on, the predecessor's cultivation progress was extremely slow. Even when he practiced on Ningchang Island, the clan's home island with a second-grade superior spiritual vein, and took many precious elixirs, the effect was still not great.

The top management of the Ning family initially suspected that the cultivation method they found for Ning Fa was not suitable, so they went to great lengths to find another thunder-based method, but the situation remained the same, with no improvement.

Later, Ning Zhongyuan, the eldest elder of the Ning family, went to the Heize Fairy City thousands of miles away and spent a huge sum of money to buy another thunder-related martial arts technique at an auction.

This technique is called [Yuan Lei Jue], it is a top-grade Xuan-level technique, and can be considered a very high-grade thunder-related technique.

In the world of immortal cultivation, there is a set of conventional standards for the classification of cultivation techniques, which are basically divided into four levels: heaven, earth, Xuan, and Huang. Each level is further divided into three grades: lower, middle, and upper.

The common skills in the cultivation world are basically of the yellow level, and even the mysterious level skills are very rare.

As for the earth-level and even heaven-level techniques, those are not something that ordinary cultivators can even dream of. Those are things that can only be passed down by major sects of immortal cultivation, and will never be passed down to the outside world.

Therefore, this top-grade Xuan-level [Yuan Lei Jue] is extremely precious and is said to have been derived from an ancient thunder-based technique.

The Ning family's eldest elder spent an astonishing price of tens of thousands of spirit stones to purchase this technique.

This is because this technique can only be practiced to the late stage of foundation building. The techniques after Danjie have long disappeared in the long river of history. Otherwise, the price would probably have to increase several times.

But for the Ning family, being able to cultivate to the late stage of foundation building is enough.

A cultivator with thunder spiritual roots in the late stage of foundation building can basically kill all the cultivators in the foundation building stage. Even if he encounters an ordinary Jindan cultivator, he has a great chance of escaping.

However, even though Ning Fa's predecessor turned to practice the Yuan Lei Jue, which had a great reputation, it still had no effect, and his practice progress even became slower.

The top leaders of the Ning family were dumbfounded. Only then did they realize that it was not a problem with the cultivation method, but a problem with Ning Fa himself.

That's why they found an expert to examine Ning Fa's body, and concluded that Ning Fa had a defective thunder spiritual root.

Later, seeing that Ning Fa was unable to break through the middle stage of Qi training, the family finally gave up on Ning Fa and left him to fend for himself.

Ningfa shook his head, a hint of self-mockery on his face, but then his eyes showed determination. No matter how difficult it was, he had to give it a try.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, clasped his hands together, and began to practice the Zhoutian circulation technique in the Yuan Lei Jue.

His body began to flicker with a blue and white light. From time to time, blue and white arcs of electricity appeared on his body, and there were crisp "crackling" sounds, making Ningfa look extremely mysterious at this moment.

At this time, a pure thunder spiritual power was flowing along the fixed veins in Ning Fa's body.

At the same time, the spiritual energy in his room, which was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, seemed to be attracted and began to flow into his body. Part of it dissipated, and part of it merged into the spiritual power flowing in his veins and became a part of it.

As Ning Fa performed the circulation of the Qi forty-nine times, this spiritual power had become slightly stronger than before.

Ning Fa raised his eyebrows and began to control the spiritual power to move towards his dantian.

He wants to try to break through the bottleneck in the middle stage of Qi training.

This spiritual power rushed into the Dantian, but an invisible barrier blocked this spiritual power.

Ning Fa knew that this should be the bottleneck of the middle stage of Qi training, and it was also the thing that made his predecessor despair.

Ning Fa carefully controlled the power to impact the bottleneck. There seemed to be a sound of waves crashing against the shore in the void, low but deafening.

Every impact brought Ningfa great pain, and every inch of his skin seemed to be torn apart, but the ruthlessness in his heart made him grit his teeth and hold on.

After attacking the barrier ten times in a row, Ningfa's whole body was covered in cold sweat, blood was on the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were bloodshot.

But the invisible barrier in Dantian was still as solid as a rock, with no signs of being broken.

"Humph! I don't believe it!"

Ning Fa's eyes flashed with fierceness. He stopped attacking the bottleneck and instead controlled the magic power to continue circulating in the meridians, while desperately absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.

He tried to increase the total amount of mana needed to break through the bottleneck in order to increase the possibility of a breakthrough.

However, the price of this approach is that, at his current level, the overloaded circulation of the Qi would put a huge burden on his body.

Blood began to seep out of his skin, staining his clothes dark red.

But Ningfa was like a madman. He endured the severe pain, gritted his teeth and performed the circulation of the Qi for another twenty times. At this time, he had reached the limit of what he could control.

Ning Fa controlled the stronger magic power and brought it to his dantian, trying to attack again.

"Break it for me!"

Ningfa shouted with a hoarse throat!
This time, there was finally a change.

There seemed to be a silent loud noise, and then a strange circular pattern appeared out of thin air in Ning Fa's Dantian.

This circular pattern seems to be formed by countless tiny runes. Upon closer inspection, these countless tiny runes are actually lightning threads of various shapes, flashing in five colors: white, green, black, red, and yellow. They are constantly appearing and disappearing, intertwining and entangled with each other in a mysterious trajectory, forming this mysterious pattern shining with colorful rays of light, which gives an indescribable sense of flawlessness.

But unfortunately, this mysterious circular pattern seems to be missing most of it. Only a small half is very clear, and the rest seems to be there and not there, completely illusory, and seems to disappear at any time.

Ningfa, who discovered this mysterious pattern through inner vision, was shocked, because this seemingly extremely mysterious pattern had never appeared in his previous incarnation's memory.

Ningfa intuitively felt that this mysterious pattern might be the reason why his predecessor had been unable to break through.

Just when Ning Fa was wondering, he suddenly felt a burning sensation on his right arm. Before he could react, a white light flashed before his eyes, and the mysterious scroll appeared.

The scroll unfolded automatically, and countless white runes appeared on it again, flashing continuously. This time the runes flashed much more intensely than before, and the dazzling white light almost made Ningfa unable to open his eyes.

Gradually, as white runes flashed, a circular pattern gradually appeared on the scroll, which looked exactly the same as the pattern in Ning Fa's dantian.

And as the mysterious runes on the scroll flashed wildly, the missing large part of the circular pattern was beginning to be completed bit by bit.

Ningfa looked at the mysterious scroll in shock. The mysterious scene before him made it difficult for him to think for a moment.

At this time, the magic power he used to attack the inner barrier of Dantian was already exhausted and finally dissipated. The magic power, far exceeding that of the past, immediately dispersed to his limbs and bones, causing Ning Fa, who was impacted, to groan and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Immediately, the mysterious circular pattern that appeared in Dantian disappeared.

The white runes on the mysterious scroll gradually stopped flashing, and the evolving circular pattern on the scroll also disappeared.
