Chapter 295 The Seven Treasures Tree, Breakthrough! Breakthrough!! (4000)

"Thunderstone, a relatively mild thunder-attribute spiritual object, is perfect as an introductory material for cultivation techniques."

Zhang Yuanzhu whispered.

He didn't actually need this spiritual object; he could still change his foundation, though it would be a bit slower.

He stretched out his palm, grasped the Thunder Spirit Stone, and placed it near his mouth.

Click!Click!
Swallow it in one gulp, then chew it thoroughly.

In an instant, strands of lightning exploded in his mouth and were then compressed into various parts of his body.

The crimson-gold spiritual platform trembled, bursting forth with wave after wave of magical power, surging like the ocean, rushing out of the dantian and flowing throughout the body.

This is a completely new way of operating, entirely different from the "Record of Blazing Sun True Fire," yet it is extremely proficient, as if it has been practiced thousands or tens of thousands of times.

With each wisp of energy, the lightning pressing into the body coiled around the magical power, gradually merging into it.

A purple hue emerged, quickly spreading and imbuing the area with magical power before flowing into the dantian.

The crimson-gold spiritual platform gradually changed its appearance over time.

Within his dantian, lightning flashed, frost and snow fluttered, a white ruler stretched across the sky, and a three-colored jade tree supported the road, shining brightly.

A purple spiritual platform stands there, suppressing all directions.

The cultivation of "The Record of Purple Lightning and Green Frost" has been successfully completed!

The transformation of the foundation also went extremely smoothly.

Upon completion of the cultivation technique, a purple divine light bloomed from the depths of the mind on the Seven Treasures Tree, spreading upwards from the roots and vying for brilliance with the red and blue divine lights.

The leaves swayed, and the three-colored divine light shimmered, dazzling and beautiful.

Faintly, one can still hear the roars of billions of gods and demons, and the prayers of countless living beings.

Zhang Yuanzhu watched quietly as the Seven Treasures Tree changed.

The Seven Treasures Tree is also known as the Seven Treasures Technique, which combines seven fundamental methods of different attributes to condense this supernatural power.

He has completed three types and covered a small portion of the journey.

Zhang Yuanzhu withdrew his spiritual consciousness from the depths of his mind, his eyes becoming profound.

Various thoughts surged through his mind; he was forging his own path, transcending the shackles of supernatural powers themselves.

Ultimately, it is not impossible to nurture all things and encompass everything through the principles of Yin and Yang.

Call ~
He exhaled a breath of turbid air.

A hand is extended, and a scarlet heart appears in the palm.

In the blink of an eye, a series of magic seals were unleashed, and the Thunder Beast's heart was compressed at an extremely rapid speed.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, his heart transformed into a fist-sized azure lightning seed.

Zhang Yuanzhu swallowed it without hesitation.

The lightning seed entered his heart and began to temper his body.

After everything was prepared, the young man turned his gaze to the stone gate.

He stood up, slung his knife over his shoulder, and stepped forward.

Crunch!

Pushing open the stone door, a tall and slender figure came into view.

Feng Ling stared at the crimson figure emerging, her smiling face replaced by shock.

Thunder!

Thunder!!
It's still Thunder!!!

A violent bolt of lightning appeared between heaven and earth as the young man took a step.

It cleaves the sky, divides yin and yang, its magnificent divine power is too dazzling to behold.

"Senior Sister Feng, what brings you here?"

The gentle voice startled the woman awake.

Looking again, there was no thunder, only a handsome young man in a red robe.

With Feng Ling's cultivation level, he naturally knew that what he had just heard and seen was true and accurate.

That was the oppressive aura emanating from a powerful cultivator after they had achieved a certain level of cultivation.

"Junior brother, you have successfully cultivated the 'Record of Purple Lightning and Green Frost'."

Zhang Yuanzhu nodded and stopped in front of the woman.

"It took some time, but the fundamental transformation was completed."

After a pause, the young man asked again:
"Senior sister, what brings you here?"

At this moment, Feng Lingcai came to his senses and composed himself.

"My junior brother has been in seclusion for four days. Senior Huo has already left. Before he left, he asked me to tell him to focus on his cultivation here and not to worry about matters concerning the lineage."

Zhang Yuanzhu gently stroked the hilt of the knife with his palm and lightly touched his forehead.

"Thank you for your help, Senior Sister!"

"Perfect timing. I have some questions about my cultivation. Please answer them, Senior Sister."

The young man chuckled softly, walked to the side, and sat down on the blue stone.

Upon seeing this, the woman did not hesitate.

She came here to exchange martial arts techniques with Zhang Yuanzhu and to deepen their relationship.

They took a step forward and sat down on the ground.

The two looked at each other, and Zhang Yuanzhu asked a question, expressing some doubts about the cultivation techniques.

【Characteristics】: The soul is ultimately just a physical instinct. Some problems encountered in cultivation still require asking questions and understanding the underlying principles.

These theoretical concepts were not difficult for Feng Ling, and she answered them one by one.

Even if you don't know the answer yourself, you can ask your grandfather for help through the sound transmission stone.

The two discussed cultivation techniques and improved each other's skills.

From day to night, and from night to day.

From Zhang Yuanzhu's constant questioning at the beginning, to their mutual exchange, until finally the woman asked the questions that had been bothering her.

This situation lasted for three whole days.

Feng Lingcai ended the discussion with a blush creeping across his cheeks, still feeling unsatisfied.

She came here to answer her junior brother's questions, but unexpectedly, in the end, she herself kept asking questions.

However, Junior Brother Zhang's talent is truly astonishing, a rare sight throughout history.

A variety of thoughts raced through the woman's mind. She stood up, her eyes becoming serious.

“Junior brother, you should understand my grandfather’s thoughts.”

"But I know very well that this is nothing but a delusion. It was only after sixty years that I barely managed to forge a mid-grade spiritual platform."

"The gap between us is too great. The old man is nearing his end, so he has to make some arrangements. Please don't take offense."

Feng Ling's expression was open and honest, her purple cloak billowing, her long black hair flowing down, exuding a carefree air.

Zhang Yuanzhu stood up, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

"Senior Feng's protectiveness is only human nature, so why would I think too much about it?"

"My senior sister and I share a bond as fellow disciples."

The woman stretched out her hand, brushing the stray strands of hair behind her ear, a hint of curiosity flashing across her face:
"Junior brother, although my strength is far inferior to yours, I would also like to witness the prowess of the seventh person of Immortal Weapon Valley."

She reached Foundation Establishment after the age of sixty. Within the Azure Thunder Dharma Lineage, she was considered a genius, one of only two Foundation Establishment cultivators in the entire lineage to condense a mid-grade Spirit Platform.

She was eager to see the difference between herself and the most outstanding geniuses in the world.

Zhang Yuanzhu's arms hung naturally at his sides, his expression gentle, and he slowly uttered a single word:
"Can!"

Excitement filled Feng Ling's eyes as her beautiful figure disappeared.

"Brother, be careful!"

The sound mingled with thunder, echoing through the sky.

Boom!

Thick, dark clouds gathered, and purple lightning moved within them, compressing and gathering.

A thunder beast made of lightning emerged from the dark clouds, looking down.

It was ferocious and terrifying.

Roar!
With a roar, lightning scattered, shaking the heavens and earth.

Zhang Yuanzhu's red robe fluttered in the wind as he looked up, a smile playing on his lips.

He took a step, his body slightly leaning forward.

A simple movement caused the entire world to tremble, the air currents to swirl, and bursts of howling winds to rise.

Thunder and lightning scattered with a roar, even shattering the dark clouds that covered the sky.

Only one thunder beast roared and struggled incessantly.

But with a soft laugh, it exploded with a bang.

The beautiful figure stumbled backward, staring blankly at the young man standing on the ground.

Are you kidding me?
With a single step and a soft laugh, her meticulously prepared attack vanished like smoke.

This is the power that cultivators at the same level as her can possess! After a long while, Feng Ling finally came to her senses.

He landed, looking at the young man with a complicated expression, opened his mouth, but didn't know where to begin.

The difference between the two is like that between clouds and mud, or heaven and earth; there is no comparison whatsoever.

"Senior Sister's strength is quite remarkable compared to others in the same realm."

Zhang Yuanzhu spoke.

He finally made his move, and with that soft laugh, he used the Golden Crow's Cry technique.

"Junior brother, do not comfort me. I know I am weak."

Feng Ling looked bitter.

She knew she was destined to lose, but she never imagined she would lose so miserably.

With a wave of his hand, a stream of light floated in front of the young man.

He turned and walked away into the distance, his dejected voice slowly drifting out:
"The Thunder Jade Token is the token of the Azure Thunder lineage. Fellow Daoist, you may retrieve any treasure, view any insights or records, or visit any sacred cultivation grounds of the Dao lineage."

As the words faded, the woman's figure had already disappeared into the distance.

Zhang Yuanzhu stared in the direction the woman had left, his double pupils narrowed. Was he struck by a blow?

However, he had already tried his best to hold back.

The young man withdrew his gaze and looked at the azure token in front of him.

He raised his arm and lightly gripped the token with his five fingers.

"This is the investment of the Azure Thunder Dharma Lineage, not bad!"

Zhang Yuanzhu rubbed the token, feeling the tingling sensation from his fingertips.

They strode forward and headed towards the Taoist temple.

He didn't stand on ceremony and took some of the lightning-attribute spiritual items.

Afterwards, they returned to their cave dwelling.

He planned to take advantage of the environment to break through to a new level of cultivation in one fell swoop.

The young man sat cross-legged, with jade boxes placed in front of him, and lightning occasionally flashed across the boxes.

Deep within the soul, the objects under one's control also begin to change.

Characteristics: Moving mountains and controlling ridges, immaculate, and spirit, all burst forth simultaneously.

Within a radius of several miles, pure spiritual energy surged wildly into his body.

The young man, with a pure mind, constantly recalled the cultivation method, sensed his body's instincts, and used his magical power to absorb spiritual energy, thereby increasing his own cultivation level.

At the same time, the jade boxes in front of him opened one after another, and beams of light shone forth.

Refine spiritual energy, consume spiritual objects, and study cultivation methods.

Zhang Yuanzhu devoted himself to cultivation, becoming engrossed in increasing his cultivation level.

……

Dozens of miles away from the cave, figures stood on the ground, gazing into the distance.

How could such a huge commotion be kept from them?

As Feng sensed the surging spiritual energy within the earth, he slightly turned his gaze to his granddaughter beside him.

"Ling'er, you fought Yuan Zhu, how was it?"

Feng Ling remained silent for a moment before reciting the words one by one:
"Ants gazing at the blue sky!"

These five short words drew countless gazes, and many powerful cultivators looked on with fear.

As a direct descendant of the Mountain Lord, Feng Ling's talent and ability are beyond doubt; otherwise, he would not have been able to forge a mid-grade spiritual platform, and he is expected to condense evil spirits in the future.

Now everyone can see that the woman's admiration for the young man is undisguised, even bordering on worship.

"Nephew, is this an exaggeration?"

A middle-aged monk couldn't help but retort.

Feng Ling shook her head and muttered to herself:
"You'll never understand this feeling until you've fought that person."

Everyone fell silent, gazing quietly ahead, each with complex emotions.

After an unknown amount of time, Old Master Feng finally spoke slowly:
"Please do not disturb Yuanzhu's cultivation, everyone. Disperse!"

"Yes!"

With a series of responses, the group of cultivators retreated.

Only Feng Laodao remained in place. His eyes flickered, and as he recalled the recent instructions from the Tai Ri Dao lineage, his gaze became increasingly clouded.

Click!

With a burst of magical power, a golden jade slip in the storage bag shattered instantly.

The old Taoist priest remained steadfast in his choice.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

Inside the cave, Zhang Yuanzhu sat cross-legged. The second thunder seed in his chest had been exhausted, and his flesh, bones, and even internal organs had all been significantly improved.

The young man placed his arms flat on his knees and slowly closed his eyes.

"let's start!"

After a month of cultivation, his magical power has reached its peak, and it's time to break through the barrier.

Within his dantian, his spiritual platform trembled, his magical power surged, and streaks of lightning flashed across the sky.

The patterns formed by the twelve magical runes, like two swimming dragons, twisted on the spiritual platform, and with each twist, the magical power became more vigorous.

Above the spiritual platform, the Measuring Ruler and the Yin-Yang Jade Tree shone brightly, stabilizing the dantian.

Time passed second by second, the vibrations in the spiritual platform grew more intense, and the purple radiance became increasingly dazzling.

These purple lights rose and gathered on the spiritual platform, beginning the forging of the second spiritual platform.

The patterns twist and climb, rising one step higher with each casting.

A cup of tea!

One stick of incense!
One hour!!!
hum~
The spiritual platform trembled slightly, and the second layer of the spiritual platform was successfully forged.

He broke through to the second level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

At the same instant, the skin, tendons, bones, flesh, and even the five internal organs begin a new round of transformation.

The physical body continuously strengthens, leaping towards higher levels.

At the same time, the spiritual consciousness in his mind began to surge, and every bit of increase was put into the pagoda.

The fifth-level pagoda, appearing and disappearing intermittently, becomes increasingly solid with the passage of time.

Zhang Yuanzhu sensed the transformation that was happening to him. His mind was calm and there were not many waves. With his talent and ability, breaking through was to be expected.

It would be laughable if a top-grade spiritual platform were blocked at the Foundation Establishment stage.

But is this the second level of the spiritual platform?
Zhang Yuanzhu scanned the spiritual platform with his spiritual sense and sensed that the second level of the spiritual platform was actually slightly smaller than the first level.

The twelve magical runes that originally covered the spiritual platform also emerged with the second layer of the spiritual platform, climbing upwards like two vines, revealing a little space on the spiritual platform.

The young man's eyes flickered. Could these blank spaces be inscribed with other magical runes?

These were thoughts that Zhang Yuanzhu needed to verify personally.

He calmed his mind, sat cross-legged on the futon, and felt his power gradually increase.

The sun rose and set, and I don't know how much time has passed.

The curtain fell only after the breakthrough in realm led to an increase in physical strength.

In my mind, the five-story pagoda shone brightly.

He raised his arm.

boom!
A deafening sonic boom exploded inside the cave, sending up a rolling shockwave.

Zhang Yuanzhu frowned slightly as his strength surged, requiring a few breaths to adjust.

Spread your five fingers out and move your fingertips in succession, each movement producing a piercing sonic boom.

Dust rose up, only to be crushed to the ground by the overwhelming aura.

However, each sonic boom was lower than the last, and after ten breaths, the fingertip movements had become calm and undisturbed.

At this moment, the young man did not immediately get up and end his seclusion, but instead began to think about his next cultivation plan.

The three cultivation methods—Spiritual Awareness Method, Body Refinement Method, and Cultivation Method—must be practiced simultaneously, which already consumes most of one's energy.

The remaining time is extremely limited, and this limited time should not be wasted. We can still make other attempts to improve our combat strength.

'Practicing magic, or...'

Zhang Yuanzhu murmured to himself.

Ranged attacks and close-quarters combat are undoubtedly the best choices for improving combat power.

Compared to magical attacks, his physical body was undoubtedly more outstanding at this moment.

Moreover, he had a vague idea about close combat, and if successful, his combat power would definitely increase dramatically.

He called this concept of combining Nuo masks...

Divine form!
