Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 489 Sect Conference
Soon after, a deep blue semicircular magic formation was set up, and blue electric flashes kept moving on the light curtain like spirit snakes.

As Ning Fa cast a spell into it, the blue light curtain suddenly spun, and then a slender blue light beam shot straight into the dark clouds above.

The dark clouds above suddenly surged up, and the sound of thunder and lightning was loud. Then, streaks of lightning in the dark clouds seemed to be attracted and began to fly towards the Thunder Forging Formation.

The light curtain of the formation rotated more violently after the thunder flew in. Countless thinner blue lightning threads appeared inside the light curtain. Lightning snakes were flying and the strong electric light made it almost impossible to open one's eyes.

Ning Fa's eyes narrowed and he began to activate his natural ability to avoid lightning.

Suddenly, a strange silver lightning flashed across his body, and then turned into a transparent silver lightning film, covering his body.

Ning Fa took a deep breath, then plunged into the lightning-inducing and forging formation.

As soon as he entered, countless blue lightning rushed towards him like he had discovered his prey.

This is pure heavenly thunder power, so powerful that even a Jindan cultivator would suffer severe damage if he were to take a hit.

However, when these heavenly thunders fell on the silver thunder membrane outside Ningfa's body, they directly cut through it like water drops falling on a lotus leaf, without causing any harm to Ningfa. It was very strange.

But Ning Fa was not at ease. The power of the thunder had reached the upper limit of his lightning avoidance ability. He could not hold on for too long, probably only a quarter of an hour at most.

He did not waste time. As he controlled his mind, the layer of silver lightning membrane outside his body suddenly became much thinner.

Suddenly, some heavenly thunder penetrated the thinning thunder membrane and fell directly on Ningfa's body surface.

Ning Fa suddenly groaned miserably, grimacing in pain, with arcs of electricity flashing wildly on his body.

He hastened to make the layer of thunder film thicker again, so that the power of the thunder that fell on him was weakened a lot. He felt that he could barely hold on.

In just such a short period of time, his body, which was originally as hard as that of a powerful monster, was already torn into pieces.

Ning Fa immediately swallowed a recovery pill, and then began to practice according to the method of body refining in the Ancient Source Thunder Sutra.

He was seen posing in strange and peculiar postures, while a deep silver light was flowing slowly along a mysterious trajectory deep inside his body, like a river of stars, and along the way there were many star-like silver spots twinkling, which were exactly the acupoints through which the trajectory passed.

Ningfa had a ferocious look on his face. He endured the inhuman pain and persevered with gritted teeth.

In less than a quarter of an hour, after practicing the technique for two cycles, Ning Fa finally couldn't hold on any longer and flew away from the Thunder-Inducing and Yuan-Forging Formation.

At this moment, he was completely naked and his body was red, like a cooked prawn.

Extremely thin arcs of electricity lingered on the surface of his body, emitting heat like a furnace. The temperature was so high that the surrounding heavy rain vaporized directly, and the sound of his heart beating like a huge drum could be heard.

Ning Fa was breathing heavily, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

This method of refining the body with heavenly thunder is indeed very dangerous. Fortunately, he has the ability to avoid thunder, otherwise even a third-level physical cultivator would not be able to withstand the power of a few heavenly thunders.

But besides being afraid, Ning Fa was more surprised.

Because this method is indeed effective. It only took a quarter of an hour and only used a small amount of the power of heavenly thunder to strengthen his body, but it was enough to offset his previous one or two months of hard training. The effect was amazing.

It’s just a pity that the grade of his Five Elements Divine Thunder is not high enough at present, so his lightning-avoiding ability cannot last for too long, and it takes several days to cool down after each use.

The key is that this method puts a huge strain on his current physical body. It will probably take some time before he can use the Heavenly Thunder to forge his body again. Otherwise, his physical body will be secretly injured, and that would be counterproductive.

But in general, this is indeed a feasible and very effective way to exercise.
Just coming here a few times a year can greatly improve the progress of his physical training, and the effect is no worse than some of the legendary spiritual objects in heaven and earth that can improve the physical body.

So Ning Fa was still very happy, not only because he saw the hope of training the Xuan Lei True Body in a short period of time, but also because this body-building method can be used for a long time, and it can be said that this method can only be used by him.

Amid the violent thunder, mixed with wild laughter, a silver light flew away as fast as a meteor chasing the moon.

……

As the situation in Julu City barely stabilized.

After coordinating with the other four major sects in Jiang State, Huayu Sect took a day off to hold a sect meeting.

The conference has several main topics.

One is to commemorate the heroic spirits of the sect who died in battle, and the other is to provide compensation and commendation to the casualties and serious injuries.

The second thing is to appoint a new candidate for one of the sect’s seven heroes.

Finally, one of the sect’s Jindan elders was promoted, and they celebrated it.

There is a high mountain to the east of Julu City, Tailan Mountain.

At the top of the mountain there is a huge bluestone platform of several thousand square meters, where more than ten thousand outer disciples sit in an orderly manner.

More than ten feet high, there is a second-level platform built by a large cloud, where thousands of inner disciples in the training period sit.

There is also a third-level platform above, where hundreds of disciples in the foundation-building stage are sitting.

And right in front of them, there was a huge semicircular platform built with pieces of green feathers.

The sect’s many Jindan elders sat on the left and right, the left was the family faction, and the right was the master-disciple faction.

On the main seat in the middle was the sect's ancestor, Donghua Zhenjun. It could be said that nearly 90% of Huayu Sect's disciples were already here, with the number of people being about 20% to 30% less than before, as almost all of them had died in the battle with the Demon Sect over the past year or so.

The situation is similar for the Wanfa Sect, while the situation for the other three major sects is better.

After all, this is the home ground of the Huayu Sect and the Wanfa Sect, so naturally these two sects suffered the most sacrifices.

Master Donghua slowly stood up, followed by many disciples from different sects, each with a solemn look on their face.

Master Donghua paused for a moment, then spoke solemnly.

"The immortal bones are gone, but the heart of Taoism lives on. The soul has returned to the Ninth Heaven, and will protect our immortal sect."

"The immortal path is endless, the heroic soul rests in peace, your legacy will forever shine on the Immortal River."

……

The calm and heavy voice resounded throughout the entire mountain top, and many disciples of the sect also chanted in unison.

The first memorial ceremony is over.

Then the second phase of commendation and compensation began.

Compensation will be provided to the relatives of the sect disciples who died in battle. Zhenjun Donghua announced on the spot that the relatives of the dead will be issued the Feather Transformation Order. If any of their descendants have spiritual roots, they can take the Feather Transformation Order and directly join the sect without any examination.

At the same time, generous compensation was offered to some disabled people.

The third part is the selection of the seven heroes of the sect that the sect has been building up for a long time.

The position of the Seven Heroes of the Sect is not just a title, but represents actual status and rights.

For example, the authority of the sect tokens of the Seven Heroes is second only to that of Elder Jinshan, and they can command other inner disciples.

Every year, they are allocated a large amount of spiritual stones, elixirs and other cultivation resources, as well as an additional large amount of sect contribution points, which qualifies them to exchange for some restricted treasures in the sect's treasury.

They have priority in allocating some rare high-level spiritual objects.

Even each of the seven heroes of the sect can get the most important pill for forming a pill, the Ningjing Pill, for free.

It can be said that the sect will allocate a large amount of cultivation resources to each of the seven heroes to help them form a pill as soon as possible.

Although it does not mean that every one of the sect's seven heroes will become a Jindan cultivator, but once they advance to the Jindan stage, their potential will be slightly stronger than that of ordinary Jindan cultivators.

Therefore, every disciple of Huayu Sect aspires to become one of the Seven Heroes of the sect, not only to enjoy these resources but also to be admired by thousands of people.

Ever since Su Hao, the last of the sect's Seven Heroes, was promoted to Golden Core True Person, his position has been vacant, and several candidates have been eyeing this position.

In addition to Ning Fa, there is also Bai Lilan, a disciple of Yuan Luo Zhenren, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, and Song Rui, who married the eldest daughter of the Ouyang family.

As for the selection of the seven heroes of the sect, Huayu Sect has had an unspoken rule for a long time, that is, the core disciples of the younger generation of the four major families are not allowed to participate in the selection of the seven heroes.

This was also the result of the previous disputes between the master and apprentice factions.

After all, the younger generation like Ouyang Tianzong, Ji Qingqing, Duanmu Ling, Duanmu Pojun, etc., have already received the full support of such a powerful family. If they were to receive more sect resources at the level of the Seven Heroes of the Sect, it would be very unfair to other disciples.

There are also strict age restrictions. Applicants must be under 60 years old and have reached the late stage of foundation building.

If we ignore their personal strength, the other two's backgrounds are far stronger than Ning Fa's.

After all, the position of the head of the Law Enforcement Hall is extremely important, and Master Yuan Luo is also at the peak of the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.

In the master-disciple faction, his position is firmly ranked third, second only to Jade Dragon Immortal and Daoyin Immortal.

Not to mention the Ouyang family, which has been the most powerful family faction for more than a thousand years.

Today, the sect's ancestor is from this family.

Therefore, before retreating to Julu City, although Ning Fa's prestige was already very high, it could only be said that he was on par with the other two and had no advantage.

However, in the battles with the Demon Sect and the Black Spirit Church over the past year or so, Ning Fa suddenly widened the gap between himself and the other two, firmly occupying the top spot on the Earth Ranking jointly established by the five sects.

It also brought honor to the Huayu Sect, whose strength has always been ranked second from the bottom among the five sects.

In the face of such an impressive record, even though the Cheng family is now very weak, the positions of the seven heroes of this sect are no longer in doubt.

Then, there was a "swish" sound, and six beams of light of different colors flew onto the platform.

These are exactly the six current seven heroes of the sect.

They are five men and one woman: Duan Peng from the Ouyang family, Shao Si Zheng from the Duanmu family, Lu Junxi from the Ji family, Fu Hong, the fifth disciple of Jade Dragon Master, Qian Ziang, the third disciple of Jade Chen Master, and Yue Bin, the fourth disciple of Yuan Luo Master.

And these six people have long been famous figures in the sect.

The corners of Donghua Zhenjun's lips slightly raised, and he said calmly: "The new candidate for the sect's Seven Heroes is the disciple of Yuncang Peak - Ning Fa."
