Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 666 A New Thunder Technique, Ice Soul Divine Thunder (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
After breaking through his cultivation level, Li Yunjing's condition improved even further.

His body is twice as strong as before.

With such a body, one can already clash head-on with a Nascent Soul Realm True Person, unlike before when one needed fourth or fifth-tier magic treasures to protect oneself in order to exchange blows with the opponent!

After Li Yunjing's "Thunder God Body" was strengthened again, he was able to contain even more magical power.

He sensed that if he fought the enemy with supreme divine power as before, he could extend his peak combat power by at least one-third of the time!
Such endurance greatly enhances survivability.

His divine sense, a materialized spiritual entity, radiates for hundreds of miles, already comparable to a True Person at the first level of the Nascent Soul realm.

This comprehensive improvement has greatly enhanced his overall combat strength, giving Li Yunjing a chance to directly fight against a Nascent Soul Realm Level 3 expert!
This still doesn't require using any more hidden trump cards!

This is truly relying on one's own strength!

Li Yunjing sat cross-legged on the bed, feeling the surging power within his body.

He slightly spread his five fingers, and a "Purple Heaven Divine Thunder" condensed in his palm, with fine Dao patterns faintly emerging within the lightning.

"Husband."

Zhao Qimei's eyes gleamed with admiration: "Are you now capable of taking on a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator one-on-one?"

"It should be no problem."

Li Yunjing chuckled, "At least below the third level of the Nascent Soul realm, I can kill the opponent without using formations or any trump cards!"

After this breakthrough, his understanding of the Yin-Yang Dao, the Five Elements Dao, and even the Thunder Technique truly reached a new level.

In particular, the profound changes produced by the interaction of ice and lightning during his dual cultivation with Zhao Qi gave him a clearer idea of ​​his future development direction.

"My husband is so amazing!"

Zhao Qi nestled in Li Yunjing's arms, her eyes filled with adoration.

Having just broken through to the third level of the Golden Core realm, she felt an oppressive sense of facing a mountain when she was next to Li Yunjing.

I'm so lucky to have a man like him!

Li Yunjing affectionately ruffled her hair: "Thanks to your Xuanbing Qi for your help."

As he spoke, a lotus flower interwoven with ice and lightning suddenly condensed at his fingertips. "Look, this is the result of our dual cultivation."

The moment the lotus bloomed, ice crystals suddenly formed throughout the room, only to be shattered by tiny flashes of lightning, turning into countless shimmering powders.

Even Zhao Qi was greatly surprised when she saw such an ability.

Because this is the Avenue of Ice!

Her husband, during their dual cultivation, actually comprehended the Great Dao of Ice and cultivated it quite well, possibly even surpassing her own power.

How could this not surprise Zhao Qi?
Li Yunjing closed his eyes and concentrated, his spiritual energy circulating slowly within his body according to the path of the Divine Firmament Path.

With each cycle of the celestial sphere, he could feel the lightning power and ice-type spiritual power within his body undergoing a wondrous fusion.

"He has mastered another type of thunder magic."

He muttered to himself, a wisp of azure lightning appearing at his fingertips.

This lightning was no longer the violent and fierce lightning of the past, but instead carried the chilling characteristics of ice-type spiritual power, and even condensed into tiny ice crystals when it flowed through the fingertips.

Zhao Qi curiously leaned closer to examine it: "Husband, what is this...?"

"Ice Soul Divine Lightning".

Li Yunjing opened his eyes, a flash of lightning in them, "The new changes that result from fusing your Xuanbing power with my lightning magic."

He flicked his finger, and the wisp of lightning flew out the window.
An ancient tree in the courtyard was instantly frozen solid, followed by a muffled sound from inside, and the entire tree turned into dust and scattered.

It was actually shattered from the inside by the lightning!

Zhao Qi gasped, "This power..."

"It's not perfect yet."

Li Yunjing shook his head. "The key to the balance between ice and lightning lies in equilibrium. Right now, the ice-type spiritual power is still a bit weak."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Qi and said, "Come on, let's try dual cultivation again."

Zhao Qi blushed slightly, but quickly composed herself.

The two men pressed their palms together, and the runes of the "Yin Yang He Dao Jing" reappeared.

This time, Li Yunjing deliberately guided Zhao Qi's Xuanbing Qi into his meridians, where it intertwined and entangled with the power of thunder.

Gradually, strange patterns appeared on Li Yunjing's body.

The left half features purple thunder patterns, while the right half features blue ice patterns, forming a perfect yin-yang symbol on the chest.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a muffled sound came from inside Li Yunjing's body.

He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale instantly.

"My husband!"
Zhao Qi hurriedly stopped practicing.

"It doesn't matter."

Li Yunjing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then revealed an excited expression, "I've found the key!"

He took out a jade slip and quickly wrote down, "Ice and lightning cannot be forcibly mixed; they must be like the two energies of Yin and Yang, mutually generating and restraining each other..."

"Good! Qi'er, this is my understanding. Take it and study it. Perhaps you can also cultivate 'Ice Soul Divine Lightning'!"

Three days later, Li Yunjing finally completed the deduction of the new thunder technique and passed it on to Zhao Qi.

After Zhao Qi happily went off to comprehend the mystery, Li Yunjing carefully examined his body and the "Five Elements Dao", "Yin Yang Dao", and "Thunder Dao".

These are his three fundamental principles.

This is Li Yunjing's base of support.

As for the others, such as the "Great Dao of Death," "Great Dao of Life," and "Great Dao of Mystic Ice," they are only explored and have not yet reached the highest level.

With so many great principles condensed within his body, Li Yunjing naturally dared not be negligent, fearing a backlash. Every time he improved his cultivation, he would carefully check the state of his body.

This time, he was not careless either. Fortunately, after a check-up, no problems were found. Apart from occasional faint, almost imperceptible abnormalities, his body was perfectly fine.

Since no problem could be found and this situation did not harm him, Li Yunjing temporarily put it aside, withdrew his mind from his body, and focused on checking the magical artifacts on his body.

With his spiritual power now comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, he naturally needed to re-refine all his magical treasures.

Just as Li Yunjing was refining the magic weapons one by one, outside the city, at a chaotic graveyard, swirling black ghost energy covered the entire mountain forest in front of it. The lush and green trees withered and died as if they had lost their life in the blink of an eye.

At the center of the ghostly energy, a deep black ghost realm condensed.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky and struck the ghost realm.

This is a powerful ghost king traversing between the realms of Yin and Yang.

The violent ghostly energy was so dense that it exceeded the limits of the human realm, causing changes in the laws of heaven and earth.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

The ghostly energy churned like clouds and mist, slowly receding towards the center and gradually converging.

No matter how fiercely the lightning struck from the sky, it could not ultimately subdue the deepest darkness of the ghost realm.

In that darkness, something seemed to be trying to break free.

After eighty-one bolts of lightning, the dense ghostly energy in the center of the ghost realm slowly transformed into a human figure. When the surrounding ghostly energy completely receded into the center, a figure appeared.

This is a ghost king!
Tall and thin, with triangular eyes, a pale, bluish complexion, and thin, crimson lips, he spoke in a hoarse voice, "The 'Mysterious Heaven Realm' of the mortal realm has opened, and I, the Demon King of Demons, cannot miss this opportunity!"

At this moment, Li Yunjing was unaware of what was happening outside the city.

He has devoted himself entirely to refining the magical artifact.

His numerous magical treasures, ranging from the third, fourth, and fifth tiers, and even higher, as well as immortal artifacts, are the key reasons why he dares to confront Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

Starting with the magical artifacts that Li Yunjing regularly uses, especially his weapons, such as the superior-grade treasure "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" and the fifth-grade mid-grade "Boundary Breaking Sword," these are his most important weapons of destruction.

The quality of the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" is somewhat low, but it is very compatible with Li Yunjing's power of law. Holding this sword will allow him to unleash the power of his supernatural abilities to a greater extent.

As for the "Boundary-Breaking Sword"?
Then there's no need to say more; it's because a True Monarch at the Nascent Soul stage had no other choice but to smuggle a magical artifact from another world.

Li Yunjing's magical power was insufficient to unleash the full power of the "Boundary-Breaking Sword." Otherwise, it wouldn't be impossible for him to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage with a single strike!

The "Boundary-Breaking Sword" was too high-level, so Li Yunjing refined it to increase its compatibility before putting it away and focusing his attention on the "Yin-Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword".

"Now that my weapon-refining skills are extremely high, I should upgrade this treasure to the level of a top-grade magic weapon!"

After careful observation, a plan immediately came to mind, and Li Yunjing promptly took out his "Myriad Paths Glazed Furnace".

He took out all the necessary Five Elements and Yin-Yang materials and poured them into the "Myriad Paths Glazed Furnace." Li Yunjing took a deep breath, formed hand seals, and sent a stream of true fire into the "Myriad Paths Glazed Furnace."

Seven-colored flames immediately ignited inside the furnace. These were the fires of the five elements and the yin and yang energies, condensed into a divine seven-colored flame.

Immediately, he prepared to put all the materials into the "Ten Thousand Streams Glazed Furnace" in a special order.

"Gold Essence Stone, Ten-Thousand-Year Wood Core, Mysterious Water Jade, Fire Sand, Earth Crystal..."

He muttered incantations, and for each material he mentioned, he would infuse it with a corresponding incantation.

Various materials slowly rotate in the furnace, gradually melting into a liquid state.

Zhao Qi didn't even bother to cultivate "Ice Soul Divine Thunder," but instead watched intently from the side, finding it a rare learning opportunity.

If Zhao Qi hadn't been Li Yunjing's woman, how would she have had the opportunity to watch a master craftsman at the peak of the weapon-refining realm refine a magical artifact up close?

If Li Yunjing were willing to publicly demonstrate his magic, countless weapon refiners would pay exorbitant entrance fees to come and watch.

"puff……"

Suddenly, Li Yunjing bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The essence blood transformed into five blood lines in the air, each merging into one of the five elements.

"The five elements generate each other, in an endless cycle!"

Li Yunjing gave a low shout, and the five-colored liquids in the furnace began to mix together.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he dared not relax for a moment.

With a flick of his right hand, the "yin and yang energies" that had been prepared were injected into the furnace through two holes on the top.

"When Yin and Yang are in harmony, all things return to one!"

The atmosphere inside the furnace instantly changed, and the five elements liquid, under the harmonization of Yin and Yang energies, gradually formed the prototype of a small sword.

Upon seeing this, Li Yunjing immediately threw the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" into the furnace.

"Qiang..."

The sword emitted a clear, ringing sound, resonating with the newly forged materials.

Li Yunjing's hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals like butterflies flitting among flowers, and runes were injected into the "Myriad Paths Glazed Furnace".

These runes landed on the sword and moved around like living things, gradually forming mysterious patterns.

Suddenly, the furnace began to shake violently.

Zhao Qi exclaimed in surprise, "Husband!"

Li Yunjing's gaze sharpened; he knew the most crucial moment had arrived.

He slapped the "Purple Gold Gourd" and took out three thousand high-grade spirit stones, which he then crushed.

The pure spiritual energy transformed into three thousand streams of light, which entered the furnace.

"Congeal!"

With a loud shout, the furnace lid burst open.

A beam of five-colored light shot into the sky, circled the roof three times, and then slowly descended.

Li Yunjing reached out and grabbed a gleaming sword, its entire surface shimmering with light.

The sword was an inch longer than before, and the five elements runes could be faintly seen flowing at the blade.

A yin-yang symbol appeared and disappeared on the spine of the sword, radiating a chilling aura.

"Success!"

Li Yunjing gently stroked the sword, feeling the surging spiritual energy fluctuations within it. "The power of this sword has increased by a full thirty percent!"

Zhao Qi curiously leaned closer to examine it and discovered many fine lines on the sword: "These are..."

"The Five Elements Generating and Restraining Formation".

Li Yunjing explained, "Now this sword can not only amplify my Five Elements spells, but also automatically absorb the Five Elements spiritual energy in the world to replenish its consumption. In other words, this sword can unleash its full power without me having to activate it!"

As he spoke, he casually waved his hand, and a sword aura flew out, which spontaneously split into five sword lights of different attributes in the air.

"great!"

Zhao Qi was also happy; she understood perfectly what Li Yunjing meant.

It can exert its power without the need for its master to activate it, saving a lot of mana in battle, and even reducing the consumption of mental energy.

"Next, I'll go all out and refine all the treasures in one go!"

After playing with the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" for a while, Li Yunjing calculated the time and found that only half a month had passed. He immediately had an idea to re-forge all the third-tier magic weapons.

The top-grade "Mysterious Jade Inner Armor", top-grade "Swift Wind Boots", top-grade "Five Dragon Wheels", top-grade "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal", third-tier mid-grade "Five Poison Divine Needles", third-tier top-grade magic treasure "Ten Thousand Poison Banner", and even a third-tier mid-grade "Ten Thousand Paths Glazed Furnace"...

These are all treasures that Li Yunjing regularly uses.

Normally, these magical treasures are powerful enough that Li Yunjing alone can slaughter hundreds of cultivators of the same level.

However, as he has been constantly training on various continents and has come into contact with increasingly higher-level experts, these magical treasures are no longer sufficient.

Even some fourth-tier treasures were struggling to unleash their full power.

For safety's sake, Li Yunjing was willing to take the risk.

He took out all the rare materials from the "Purple Gold Gourd" and various "storage rings" and used them to refine magical treasures.

A year later, the "Mysterious Jade Inner Armor", "Swift Wind Boots", "Five Dragon Wheels", "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal", "Five Poison Divine Needles", "Ten Thousand Poison Banner", and "Ten Thousand Paths Glazed Furnace" were all upgraded to the level of top-grade treasures!
Li Yunjing had exhausted all the rare Tier 3 materials he had, leaving him with no possibility of refining a top-tier Tier 3 treasure!
The following items are listed: Tier 4 Superior "Purple Gold Gourd", Tier 4 Supreme "Myriad Lotus Lantern", Tier 4 Low "Heavenly Net", Tier 4 Mid-grade "Mysterious Heavenly Compass", "Azure Jade Pendant", "Dragon and Phoenix Yin-Yang Heavenly Secret Pendant", Tier 4 Superior "Nine Heavens Thunder Pattern Daoist Robe", Tier 4 Supreme "Water Virtue Pearl", Tier 4 Low "Divine Wind Bag"...

Li Yunjing had no way to improve these magical treasures; he could only continuously nurture them with his spirit and magic power to increase the compatibility between himself and the treasures.

The fifth-tier "Star Essence Bottle", the fifth-tier "Bronze Ancient Bell", and the fifth-tier "Yin Yang Treasure Mirror" are Li Yunjing's most prized possessions.

In particular, the "Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror" and the "Ancient Bronze Bell" are supreme treasures for defense, healing, and sound waves. They are of great significance, extremely rare, and are Li Yunjing's true loves.

As for the Tier 3 top-grade "Sky Patrol Ship", don't underestimate this treasure just because it's Tier 3. Li Yunjing would rather refine a Tier 4 magic weapon than use it.

Such a warship cannot have its power increased by the efforts of just one person.

Back then, in order to complete the "Sky Patrol Ship", Li Yunjing consumed almost 90% of his spiritual artifacts and treasures, and he had reached the limit of progress.

As for the other tokens?
Those were all borrowed temporarily. One day, when Li Yunjing resigned, he would have to hand over those tokens to his successor.

As for the ancient, incomplete immortal artifact "Tortoise Shell" and the mysterious source of thunder "Thunder Mace," Li Yunjing could hardly use them fully; such treasures were of an extremely high level.

Three years!

Li Yunjing finally refined all the commonly used magical artifacts.

A lot has happened in the outside world over the past three years.

Information about the "Mysterious Heaven Realm" was also transmitted to the "Zhao Kingdom," but unfortunately, the people of "Zhao Kingdom" were not fortunate enough to find any key within their own country.

This greatly angered the experts of the Zhao state.

As for how they infiltrated the State of Jin and clashed with the Ouyang family.
That's not something Li Yunjing is concerned about.

As time went on, Ye Wuhen and Li Yunjing's contact became more and more frequent.

"Fellow Daoist Li, be prepared to enter the 'Huangze Continent' at any time! Our sect's Grandmaster of Heavenly Mystery has already calculated that the opening of the 'Mysterious Heaven Secret Realm' is not far off."

On this day, Ye Wuhen delivered a definite message.

"I see!"

Li Yunjing replied to the message, "However, I need to stay with the Ouyang family. Let's not contact each other before we enter the secret realm."

"no problem!"

On the other end, Ye Wuhen readily agreed to the proposal.

In his view, the Heavenly Demon Sect had enough power to control the situation, and Li Yunjing wouldn't be foolish enough to follow the Ouyang family!
That would be a self-destructive act!
As for what benefits Li Yunjing received from the Ouyang family.
In Ye Wuhen's view, there was absolutely no need for him to know this.

No matter how great the benefits, they were not as good as the deterrent effect of the "Heavenly Demon Sect" or the terms I had negotiated with Li Yunjing!

"Ugh……"

Having severed contact, Li Yunjing let out a long sigh.

"what's wrong?"

Zhao Qi noticed that Li Yunjing's expression was off and quickly asked.

"The plan is about to begin."

Li Yunjing looked at Zhao Qi and said in a deep voice, "You can't go to the secret realm! I want you to go to the 'Huangze Continent' and find an opportunity to go to the border of the 'Far North' on your own. I will meet you there after I have finished exploring the secret realm!"
