This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

Chapter 5 Selection Method in the Scripture Pavilion, Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique
The choice of which cultivation method to focus on actually varies from hall to hall.

Take the Hall of Law Enforcement, for example.

In the Hall of Law Enforcement, the most precious item is undoubtedly the treasured Kui Niu Drum!

Although no one in the Law Enforcement Hall can use the Kui Niu Drum now, as a supreme treasure of the lightning attribute, its effects are far superior to any other treasure.

In addition, it contains the power of thunder, so the most suitable cultivation method for the Law Enforcement Hall lineage is either a method to strengthen the physical body, but the Great Dao of the physical body is extremely difficult!
therefore……

When choosing their main cultivation technique, the vast majority of disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall will choose thunder magic.

Thunder magic is primarily about killing and destruction, and the Law Enforcement Hall also needs to possess strong combat capabilities.

Therefore, Master Qian Yuan also hoped that Zhong Bai could choose a thunder technique to cultivate.

"As your teacher, I should naturally recommend thunder magic first!"
The Kui Niu Drum in the Enforcement Hall has miraculous effects on thunder magic cultivation. Therefore, disciple, if you can persevere, then choose a thunder magic technique to cultivate.”

Upon hearing about the thunder technique, Zhong Bai felt excited, but he couldn't help but frown.

Does he like thunder magic? Without a doubt, who wouldn't want to control heavenly thunder to punish demons and evil spirits?

However... even though Zhong Bai was a novice in cultivation, he knew that thunder magic was not something that ordinary people could cultivate, both in terms of comprehension and aptitude.

"Master, can I really do it?"
This disciple has heard that cultivating thunder magic is extremely difficult for those without exceptional talent, this disciple…

Master Qian Yuan was taken aback. Where did his silly disciple hear all this nonsense?

"Nonsense!
Who instilled these ideas in you? They're nothing but alarmist talk...

Thunder magic cultivation is indeed not something that ordinary people can access, but that's because thunder magic has been a precious thing since ancient times, and most sects simply don't have it.

At the same time, cultivating thunder magic requires not only comprehension and talent, but also perseverance!
"The pain of being struck by heavenly lightning is unbearable for most people, which is why I asked you if you could endure it."

Hearing this, Zhong Bai roughly understood. Hmm, all that reading novels in his previous life was for nothing…

“Master, I was foolish just now. I am determined to persevere.”

I just don't know... what kinds of thunder magic does Maoshan offer its disciples to choose from.

Rather than being overwhelmed by the dazzling array of information once inside the library, it's better to set your sights on something beforehand.

Upon hearing his disciple's question, Master Qian Yuan also began to ponder.

"Although Maoshan's thunder magic cannot compare to that of Longhushan, which is famous for its Five Thunder Orthodox Method, it still has several techniques with considerable power."

One of them is the Shangqing Divine Thunder Technique, which is practiced by the current sect leader.

However, the Shangqing Divine Thunder Technique requires the Foundation Establishment stage to cultivate, so you don't need to consider it.

The second is the Lightning Thunder Fist. This technique is also quite powerful, with every move accompanied by lightning and thunder. However, it requires a very high level of mental discipline from the practitioner, otherwise it is easy to go astray and become possessed by evil spirits.

Thirdly, it was the original Shenxiao Sect's signature technique, the Shenxiao Five Thunder Technique!

This Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique is in no way inferior to the Upper Clarity Divine Thunder Technique, and it can even be compared with the Five Thunder Orthodox Method of Longhu Mountain.

This item was originally sent to Maoshan for safekeeping when the Shenxiao Sect fell into decline a thousand years ago.

As for other lightning-based magical abilities, I don't recommend them. They're weak, lack follow-up effects, and incomplete forms are unsuitable.

Zhong Bai listened very attentively, afraid of missing a single word. Even so, after listening, Zhong Bai still had a complicated expression.

"Master, you said that the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique of the Divine Firmament Sect is so terrifying, so why would Senior Brother Shi Jian, who was personally taught by the sect leader, choose the Lightning Thunder Fist?"

After voicing his doubts, Zhong Bai awaited the answer.

Upon hearing this, Master Qian Yuan frowned.

"Where did you hear this news, kid? How do you know that the sect leader personally selected the Lightning Thunder Fist?"

Fine, I don't care where you got your information from. The reason why Shi Jian didn't choose the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique is very simple.

Shi Jian is the sect leader's personal disciple and a future candidate for the Maoshan sect leader. He has no problem mastering the Lightning Thunder Fist, but...

Once Shi Jian chooses the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique, he will lose his chance to become a candidate for sect leader.

How could Maoshan possibly allow a sect leader who cultivates the ultimate techniques of the Shenxiao Sect to appear?
Now you understand, kid, right?

Upon hearing this, Zhong Bai suddenly realized that the reason was so simple. Indeed, he had been somewhat presumptuous, thinking that since the Shenxiao Sect was gone, the Shenxiao Five Thunder Technique belonged to Maoshan.

"Master, if I choose the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique, will it also affect the Enforcement Hall?"

"No, that's not the case. The requirements for each hall and pavilion aren't that strict. The reason for requiring the sect leader is simply because the sect leader represents the entire Maoshan sect."

"In that case, disciple understands. Disciple wishes to try out the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique!" Master Qian Yuan smiled. "As you wish. The Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique is not as simple as you think. Back then, your master and the other two senior uncles from the Enforcement Hall also chose the Lightning Thunder Fist, and after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, we switched to the Upper Clarity Divine Thunder Technique."

Anyway, I don't have much experience to give you.

By the way, in the entire Maoshan sect for the past hundred years, you are the first person to want to cultivate the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique!

"Forehead……"

Zhong Bai was speechless, but he acted as if nothing had happened. Well, he had to swallow his pride and bear it.

Alright, put everything else aside. You just finished the cleansing and purification process, and your body is covered in filth and smells terrible. Go wash up first, and tomorrow I will take you to the Sutra Repository to choose a Dharma.

"Disciple respectfully sends Master off!"

Zhong Bai bowed, while Master Qian Yuan vanished from the spot in the blink of an eye.

After his master left, Zhong Bai took a deep breath on his forearm and his expression changed drastically.

"It really stinks..."

Even so, Zhong Bai was not in a hurry. After breaking through to the minor stage of Body Tempering, Zhong Bai felt that he had countless powers within his body.

The sonic boom effect of a punch is simply too captivating.

As the night grew darker, Zhong Bai, after washing up, lay on the bed with excitement in his heart.

I tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

His mind was filled with thoughts of the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique.

This was the guiding cultivation technique that would lead him into the world of cultivation. The thought of obtaining it tomorrow and starting his cultivation journey made his heart even more restless.

"Seriously, I've been through two lifetimes and I'm still so excited. Well, I just can't control myself."

Zhong Bai gave up on falling asleep and waited with his eyes open until dawn.

Early morning arrived.

Zhong Bai practiced horse stance in the courtyard to strengthen his muscles and bones. As the door was pushed open, Master Qian Yuan arrived early.

With just one glance, Master Qian Yuan could tell that Zhong Bai had probably been excited for a long time last night.

Master Qian Yuan could understand. After all, everyone has been young. When he learned that he was about to be able to formally cultivate, his excitement was no less than that of Zhong Bai now.

Zhong Bai has toned it down...

"Are you all ready, disciple? Your horse stance is alright, but your mind is empty, you have no soul."

Now, come with me to retrieve what your soul has attracted.

"Disciple kowtows in gratitude to Master!"

Zhong Bai pulled his leg back in one smooth motion and soon looked at his master with a smile.

Qian Yuan walked ahead, with Zhong Bai following closely behind. Even without turning around, Qian Yuan could feel his disciple's excitement.

The more this was the case, the more complicated Qian Yuan's expression became.

If he had a choice, he wouldn't actually want his disciple to choose the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique.

Why has no one chosen Maoshan for the past century?

Is there really no reason? It's fine if no one is chosen as the leader candidate, but why is no one chosen from their Enforcement Hall either?

"The Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique is extremely powerful in its early stages and relatively easy to cultivate. However, it becomes unpredictable in its later stages. Those who can comprehend heavenly thunder and wield the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder will achieve great success!"

Twenty years!

There's no time left. The early stages of cultivating the Lightning Thunder Fist were too slow. My disciple, please forgive your master..."

Following behind his master, Zhong Bai was unaware of the changes in his master's expression.

At this moment, he was overjoyed, especially happy, almost jumping for joy.

Even if Zhong Bai knew about this, he probably wouldn't have changed his mind, because the Divine Firmament Five Thunder Technique sounds incredibly powerful...

Hehe, the new book will be updated regularly, don't worry, it won't be interrupted.
