Chapter 354 Thunder Technique - Thunder God Sword! (2K)

half a month later.

Ming Dynasty, Nanjing, Ming Imperial Palace.

At the top of the ninety-nine steps, Zhang Yuanzhu sat on his throne, with a yellow dog the size of a calf lying at his feet.

He gazed at the empty hall, his eyes bright, reflecting the vast mountains and rivers, and the hustle and bustle of the world.

As he sat down on the dragon throne, it trembled slightly, and a golden dragon sprang out, circling the young man affectionately.

Woof~
Big Yellow raised its head and growled, expressing its dissatisfaction with Golden Dragon's actions.

"Why bother getting worked up over a dragon's aura?"

Zhang Yuanzhu chuckled and patted the big yellow dog's head.

With a flick of his wrist, a drop of bright red blood appeared in his palm and was presented to the dog demon.

"The resentment and killing intent within the essence blood of a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator have all dissipated."

Woof~
The giant yellow beast rubbed its head against the red robe and swallowed the blood essence.

"Master Dao, with this drop of essence blood, I will soon be able to cultivate to the tenth level of Qi Refining."

"Not bad!"

"However, the foundation must be solid, at least a mid-grade spiritual platform must be built."

Zhang Yuanzhu withdrew his hand and placed it on the armrest.

The big yellow dog nodded slightly, lay down again, and began refining the essence blood.

Only then did the young man turn his gaze to the golden dragon.

A thought came to my mind.

A snow-white bead flew out from his bosom and merged with the dragon's energy.

Roar!
The golden dragon roared, its body suddenly swelled, and its aura began to grow stronger uncontrollably.

Foundation Building Level Two!

Foundation Building Level 3!!
Foundation Establishment Level 4!!!

It wasn't until the fourth level of Foundation Establishment that the golden dragon's aura stopped increasing.

Zhang Yuanzhu stretched out his hand and stroked the golden scales, sensing the dragon's energy within.

"Once I fully digest the faith, I should be able to possess the strength of the fifth level of Foundation Establishment."

The young man sighed.

Dragon energy, being an external element, is indeed easy to enhance, but its potential is limited; even reaching the Condensing Qi Realm is not guaranteed.

Fortunately, he had always regarded the dragon's aura as a foundation for the Ming Dynasty.

Nine levels of foundation building are barely enough.

He observed the golden dragon for a while longer before allowing it to be integrated into the dragon throne.

Immediately, he took out two precious medicines from his storage bag.

The fruit is transparent, the flesh has clear texture, and most importantly, it contains an astonishing amount of life essence.

Zhang Yuanzhu stretched out his palm, gently grasped a fruit, and pulled it in front of him.

After scanning with his spiritual sense and using the 'Insightful Eye Technique' to investigate, he confirmed that there were no problems.

Swallow in one bite.

The rich life essence flows into the body, cleansing every inch of flesh and blood.

A vibrant blue aura emanated from its body, gradually permeating the main hall.

When Dahuang woke up from his cultivation, he glanced at the Dao Master, and without hesitation, leaped down from the high platform and lay down at the threshold.

Zhang Yuanzhu glanced at Da Huang, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

He closed his eyes and focused all his energy on refining it.

boom!
His physical body trembled, his mind shook, and his spiritual consciousness began to boil.

The three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit are being enhanced at this moment, absorbing the warm current from the precious medicine.

In his mind, a nine-story pagoda shone with light, flowing faster and faster. Then, strands of precious light merged into the interior of the pagoda, forming a blurry light and shadow.

Within his dantian, he refined the medicinal power, and his cultivation began to rapidly increase.

The greatest transformation is the physical transformation, with tendons, bones, muscles, and internal organs all absorbing the essence of life and constantly becoming stronger.

The skin trembles, constantly colliding with the stone powder adhering to it, accelerating the grinding process.

Time passes minute by minute.

Snapped!
As the powder from the strange stone fell, a second lightning pattern began to appear on the young man's chest.

After an unknown amount of time, most of the powder adhering to his skin fell off, and the lightning pattern on his chest also took on a blurry shape.

Call ~
Exhaling a breath of stale air, Zhang Yuanzhu slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze fell, fixed on the second blurry lightning pattern on his chest. "What a precious medicine! Its value is even greater than I imagined."

This precious herb, containing the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit, significantly enhances all three.

Especially the body, the second rare stone used in the skin tempering process is about to be completed.

After sensing the changes around him, Zhang Yuanzhu turned his gaze to the remaining treasure fruit and swallowed it without hesitation.

Boom!

A vibrant life force emerges from within its own body.

Refining the precious elixir, his physical body, magical power, and spiritual consciousness continued to strengthen.

As for the instability that comes with the sudden increase in strength, it doesn't exist for him at all.

The depth of the foundation of the youth is unprecedented in history.

In addition, the five Nuo masks purified the magical power, making the spiritual platform as solid as divine iron.

Two days and nights passed, and Zhang Yuanzhu completely refined the precious medicine. His skin became as white as jade, with a purple halo flowing beneath it, exuding an indescribable nobility.

"The second rare stone has been refined."

Zhang Yuanzhu whispered.

With a flick of his wrist, a strange stone, interwoven with silver and purple, appeared in his palm—the Mingxiao Mystic Stone!
This is a rare lightning-attribute stone that he recently acquired, which will serve as the resources for the next stage of refining.

Suddenly, the five fingers exerted force.

Click!Click!
Cracks appeared on the Mingxiao Mystic Stone and continued to widen over time.

bang~
The strange stone exploded, turning into powder that fell onto the body, where it began to be tempered once more.

Immediately, Zhang Yuanzhu turned his attention to his dantian.

His magical power surged, and his spiritual center became more solid, a significant improvement compared to before he refined the precious medicine.

The changes in one's cultivation are also etched on the three-colored mirror deep within one's soul.

Realm: Foundation Establishment Level 5 (60.02%)

It should be noted that he had only been away from breaking through to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment for a little over a month, yet he had already completed most of the journey to the fifth level.

At most, it will take another six months to achieve a breakthrough.

Zhang Yuanzhu rested his arm on the armrest, propped his cheek up, and smiled.

“Cultivating at the Foundation Establishment stage is faster than at the Qi Refining stage. Apart from me, there is no one else like me.”

The young man recalled his experiences after entering the Yuan Dynasty alone.

Having danced between life and death and walked on the edge of a knife, it is only natural that he would gain such an improvement.

He shook his head, clearing his mind of distracting thoughts.

There are still two months until the Blood Sea Dao Vein promises to open the secret realm.

This time should not be wasted.

He began to plan his future spiritual path.

Magical power, spiritual awareness, and physical body have just been enhanced by taking the precious medicine, but breakthroughs cannot be achieved in the short term to increase combat power.

Then we need to improve other things—spells and external objects.

He has perfected the killing techniques he created, including the Southern Heavenly Gate, the Great Void Thunder Gate, the Nine Falling Thunder Dragons, and the Five-Colored Thunder Technique.

Not long ago, I also completed the Nine Heavens Thunder Stele Technique. It's time to try a new thunder technique.

He had a premonition that once all six thunder techniques were fully mastered, this art of killing would be flawless.

Zhang Yuanzhu's eyes were filled with thoughts of the new lightning technique.

Back when we were at the border, the Wuliang Palace still had two thunder magic techniques left—the Thunderstorm Cage and the Thunder God Sword.

He had skimmed through both of these thunder techniques.

A thunderstorm cage is not suitable; instead, construct the South Heavenly Gate.

"Thunder God Sword Technique".

The youth whispered.

This is a technique that uses a sword to control lightning. It is quite powerful and extraordinary. Most importantly, it can be used to construct killing techniques.

Zhang Yuanzhu quickly made his decision.

For the next two months, I practiced the Thunder God Sword Technique.

As for external objects
The young man flicked his sleeve, and a pitch-black coffin fell to the bottom of the steps.

A faint blood mist swirled around the coffin, eerie and bloody, carrying a demonic quality.

His eyes were sharp as torches, and he looked past the coffin to see the refining corpse inside.
