I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

Chapter 154 Heavenly Gang Thunder Essence Dharma Form
The relocation of Wu Village was not a big deal for Wu Ming, and he did not handle it personally. He simply listened to the report from the officials of the Household Registration Office, nodded slightly, and expressed his satisfaction.

Meanwhile, at this very moment, in the Wu residence...

In the backyard.

In a hall, Wu Ming placed a basic visualization diagram on the table.

"This is the basic visualization diagram in the True Explanation of Daoist Methods. You should visualize this diagram every day and cultivate with a calm mind. When you can visualize this diagram in your consciousness in an instant, that is called entering a state of tranquility. If you can further advance to enter a state of mental stillness, you will not be far from refining your primordial spirit." Wu Ming looked at the maid Xiao Mei in front of him and said calmly to her.

He had been away from the mansion for quite some time, and this time when he returned, he had tidied it up a bit. During the time he was away from the mansion, Xiao Mei swept the courtyard every day and kept his backyard spotless. In addition to what she had done during the Blood Blade Tower assassins' night raid, Wu Ming decided to teach her some skills.

Because she was too young, Xiaomei was not yet suitable to practice martial arts. However, she happened to have a slight talent for Taoist magic, so Wu Ming obtained the most basic Taoist magic manual from the Shenxing Division and gave it to her to practice.

If one can achieve success in cultivation in the future, it will be able to protect the safety of the mansion to a certain extent.

For some top aristocratic families, the highest-ranking personal maids were often given some martial arts skills, not so much to protect their masters' safety, but mainly to make it easier for them to do things for their masters.

of course,

That's all in the future. After all, whether it's martial arts or Taoist magic, it's not easy to truly master even the basics. Although Xiaomei has a little talent, whether she can acquire some skills depends on her temperament and willpower.

"Thank you, sir."

Xiao Mei had already learned some things about Taoism and martial arts from Wu Ming. She knew that being able to obtain cultivation methods and embark on the path of cultivation was an extremely rare opportunity, and she was naturally very grateful and cherished it very much.

"Alright, you can go now and check on how my herbal medicine is going."

Wu Ming waved to Xiao Mei.

Xiao Mei immediately bowed, carefully put away the visualization diagram, and then withdrew. After a short while, she brought in a steaming medicine pot from outside and poured out a bowl of bright red soup.

Wu Ming took the soup and drank it all in one gulp. Then he opened the medicine pot, put away the Blood Essence Pearl inside, and went to the courtyard. He then swung the Xuan Tie Spear and swung it wildly, performing several complete sets of spear techniques.

"call."

"As expected of the top-grade Blood Essence Pearl, its nourishing power is truly formidable. I can hardly digest it. This stuff is indeed very suitable even for experts who have achieved the fourth stage of blood coagulation."

Wu Ming practiced several sets of gun techniques in succession. In conjunction with the circulation of his internal energy, he digested the blood essence clam juice in his body and exhaled a long breath. The airflow was scorching hot, like a white wave of energy that shot straight out for nearly a foot.

He gained a great deal from the battle at Baimohe. Putting aside the Purple Thunder Bamboo, his biggest gain was the top-grade Blood Essence Pearl, which was nearly twice as potent as the ordinary Blood Essence Pearl. Moreover, this pearl was so large that it could last for at least three months!
With the nourishment of such a Blood Essence Pearl, along with some other medicinal soups, Wu Ming felt that he could condense his blood qi to the extreme of the third level within the next year, and then try to break through to the fourth level of blood condensation!

As far as he knew, in the past hundred years, no one in the Jingye City region had ever reached the fourth stage of blood clotting before the age of twenty-five.

Of course, this does not include Yan Yuntian and Liu Muyuan. Neither of them are natives of Jingye City. It is said that Yan Yuntian entered the fourth stage of blood clotting at the age of twenty-five and completed the fifth stage at the age of thirty. As for Liu Muyuan, he is even more mysterious and no one knows anything about him.

For Wu Ming, the Blood Coagulation Martial Arts is, after all, an important foundation. He can use the Demon Subduing Diagram to refine blood energy to nourish his primordial spirit, but this requires sufficient blood energy to support it. He has already refined his primordial spirit to the fourth level, but his martial arts are still stuck at the third level of Blood Coagulation. Even if the Demon Subduing Diagram suppresses a large amount of demonic thoughts, the effect of nourishing his primordial spirit with his current level of blood energy is negligible.

Martial arts skills can improve the efficiency of blood and qi condensation, and the efficiency of blood and qi condensation is related to the improvement of martial arts realm, which in turn is closely related to the progress of primordial spirit... It can be said that each link is connected to the next, and none of them can be neglected.

After practicing marksmanship for a while,
After consuming most of the medicinal power of the Blood Essence Pearl in his body, Wu Ming returned to his room.

He gently flipped his right hand and took out the Thunder Essence Spirit Stone that Liu Muyuan had given him. He still felt a tingling sensation when he touched it, and carefully placed the Thunder Essence Spirit Stone in front of him.

Afterwards.

With a thought, Wu Ming's primordial spirit instantly left his body, his soul surging, and condensed into a thunder elemental seal in front of him.

Splat! Splat!

In an instant, strands of lightning arcs intertwined and emerged around the primordial spirit.

Of all the Daoist arts, those involving thunder are generally very difficult to practice, and the Heavenly Gang Thunder Essence Dharma Form is no exception. If Wu Ming had not mastered the Divine Firmament Upper Clarity Talisman, Liu Muyuan would never have given this Dharma Form to Wu Ming to practice.

The prerequisite for cultivating this Dharma Form is a strong and refined primordial spirit capable of withstanding the impact of lightning. Wu Ming's Divine Firmament Upper Purity Talisman has already been cultivated to the fifth lightning talisman, so his ability to withstand lightning power is naturally extraordinary. At this moment, when he forms the Thunder Essence Dharma Seal and refines the Thunder Essence Dharma Form, the wisps of lightning power that constantly impact his primordial spirit are nothing more than a drizzle to him. *Sizzle*

Wu Ming used the Thunder Element Seal to draw upon the power of thunder element in the world. The Thunder Element Spirit Stone was also affected by Wu Ming's seal, and it was constantly drawing in the power of thunder element, surging in front of Wu Ming.

Streams of thunderous energy surged, enveloping the thunderous energy seal that Wu Ming had refined, forming a dazzling ball of light. The ball of light appeared extremely restless, with flashes of lightning appearing from time to time, but it was not a thunderous divine power, but rather the foundation of the thunderous energy dharma form.

in this way,

Wu Ming continued refining until nightfall, when he felt his soul power was mostly depleted, and finally stopped.

"This Thunder Element Dharma Form is much more difficult to cultivate than the Earthly Fiend Element Dharma Form. Even with the Divine Firmament Upper Purity Talisman as my foundation and the Thunder Element Spirit Stone as my guide, the cultivation of this Dharma Form is still quite slow. It will probably take at least three months to complete the first level."

Wu Ming swallowed the refined magic seal into his primordial spirit, then opened his eyes and slowly exhaled.

The Heavenly Gang Thunder Essence Dharma Image.

Compared to the Earthly Fiend Primordial Magic Avatar, which has a maximum of only eight levels, this avatar has a full ten levels. Among them, only the first and second levels can be cultivated through the fourth refinement, and the third and fourth levels can be cultivated through the fifth refinement. As for cultivating to the Great Perfection, one must reach the eighth refinement of the Primordial Spirit!

The Eight Refinements of the Primordial Spirit is still a realm that only exists in legends for Wu Ming at present. As far as he knows, there are no Daoist masters in the entire Yong Kingdom who have reached this level!
Even reaching the seventh level of the Primordial Spirit Refinement is extremely rare.

Corresponding to the realm of Daoist cultivation, being able to cultivate Blood Condensation to the seventh level is also extremely rare. One can stand at the pinnacle of martial arts in the entire Yong Kingdom and is known as a martial arts grandmaster. Even the Yong Kingdom's royal family attaches great importance to this.

In the Yong Kingdom, if one can cultivate blood coagulation seven times, even if one is unwilling to serve as an official in the court, one will at least be granted a title equivalent to the third rank. If one is willing to serve as an official, one will become a top figure in the Yong Kingdom who wields power.

In the Yongguo system, the first and second ranks were honorary titles, mostly held by members of the imperial family. Those not of imperial blood could at most hold the third rank, such as the head of the Shenxing Division, who was a third-rank official and a figure standing at the pinnacle of power.

"Above the Eighth Refinement, there is the Ninth Refinement; above the Seventh Blood, there are also the Eighth and Ninth Blood. It is said that only by reaching the pinnacle of the Ninth Refinement realm in both Daoist arts and martial arts can one have the opportunity to inquire about the legendary Immortal Dao."

Wu Ming murmured to himself.

After he was promoted to the position of sixth-rank chief of the Censorate, almost all the files in the entire Censorate were made available to him. He had also browsed through many files when he had nothing to do before, and learned a lot of worldly secrets.

Legendary practices like the nine coagulations of blood and the nine refinements of the primordial spirit are real. If mortals can cultivate to that level, they will have the opportunity to inquire about the path to immortality, attain immortality, and live forever, freeing themselves from the constraints of lifespan.

Actually,
Wu Ming possesses the Black Emperor Demon Subduing Diagram. He knew long ago that this world was vast and boundless. A treasure like the Demon Subduing Diagram, whose level he still couldn't discern, was probably impossible for even those at the eighth or ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm to create.

The fact that it can contain a world within its interior is an extraordinary feat, something that ordinary people simply cannot achieve.

Having acquired this map, Wu Ming naturally harbored his own ambitions upon arriving in this world. At his current level, he could obtain almost anything he desired, lacking neither money nor women. However, a hundred years later, he would only turn into a handful of dust.

Only by constantly striving forward and climbing to the highest realms of martial arts and primordial spirit can one hope to break free from the shackles of mortal body and transcend the constraints of lifespan. This is also the belief that has gradually become firm in his heart.

of course,

Transcending the mundane and attaining immortality are still far from his current aspirations.

Wu Ming took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and began to circulate the Lin character technique to restore his depleted soul power. After more than an hour, when his soul power was fully restored, he once again left his body.

However, this time, Wu Ming's spirit was not used to cultivate the Thunder Essence Dharma Form. Cultivating the Thunder Essence Dharma Form during the day was more efficient and less disruptive. Cultivating this Dharma Form at night was too disruptive and less efficient. Therefore, when night fell, Wu Ming would leave his body and go directly underground to continue cultivating the second level of the Earthly Fiend Essence Dharma Form.

Swish.

Wu Ming's primordial spirit burrowed underground until it reached a depth of nearly twenty feet, where he had created a cave.

Upon arriving at the underground cave, he used his primordial spirit to retrieve a small handful of dark brown sand from the Demon Subduing Diagram. The sand contained a powerful earthly evil energy, the essence of which was self-evident—earthly evil primordial sand!
Wu Ming did not find this resource in the treasury of the Shenxing Division, but after he was promoted to the position of chief, his authority and status greatly increased. He was no longer limited to the Shenxing Division, and he was even qualified to inspect the treasury of the Zhenyao Division. This Earthly Fiend Essence Sand was obtained from the treasury of the Zhenyao Division by spending some merit points, and it was used to help him refine the Earthly Fiend Essence Magic Image.

If it were someone else, having acquired the more powerful Heavenly Gang Thunder Element Dharma Form, they would inevitably abandon the Earthly Fiend Element Dharma Form. After all, these two Dharma Forms, in terms of both nature and essence, have no compatibility and cannot be integrated with each other. Therefore, cultivating both would be of no benefit and would be a pure waste of energy.

Wu Ming is different. He possesses the Fighting Technique. Even if there are two completely unrelated Dharma Aspects, he can still combine them with the Fighting Technique as the core to unleash even greater power. Therefore, there is no need for him to abandon the Earthly Fiend Yuan Magic Dharma Aspect.
