Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 162 The Terrifying Palm Lightning

The Palm Thunder technique, aside from the instant of its release, requires the Five Thunder Hand Seal during the preparation phase. This involves pressing the left index and middle fingers against the right ring and little fingers, and pinching the Laogong acupoint in the palm with the right thumb, then pushing it out with overwhelming force. Those with shallow skill should recite the Five Thunder Mantra, which can be either the Maoshan Five Thunder Mantra or the Shenxiao Five Thunder Mantra, while those with profound skill can silently recite the Five Thunder Mantra in their hearts.

Li Xuan pressed down with both palms, his palms burning hot as if he were pushing an invisible hot air balloon!
boom!
Boom...

The zombie's body was constantly emitting faint lightning, and it was desperately trying to keep itself from sinking into the ground with its hands.

The expressionless, lifeless monster actually showed signs of panic under Li Xuan's starting stance, which made everyone feel a strange sense of pity for the zombie.

The ground cracked with countless fissures centered around the zombie...

A deafening roar erupted, and a huge hole appeared in the zombie's chest, expanding to about two meters in the blink of an eye. The next second, all that remained on the ground was a dark, bottomless hole two meters in diameter, perfectly round, as if drawn with a circle...

Li Xuan floated above the black hole with his feet off the ground, his arms surrounded by lightning, and his eyes seemed to hold endless stars, as if an immortal had descended to earth.

He landed on the ground near the black hole, and the surging magical power within him instantly vanished, leaving him feeling empty all over.

The dark clouds in the sky quickly dispersed, but a lightning bolt fell straight down from the sky towards Li Xuan, bang, like a whip lashing his body...

Li Xuan was sent flying, rolling several times on the ground before immediately getting up.

Everyone was stunned and hurriedly came over to ask what had happened.

Li Xuan placed his right hand on the purple-red gourd, slowly guiding the lightning within his body into it while absorbing spiritual energy to restore his mana. He said nonchalantly, "Lightning is fierce and risky to control, but it's alright."

The Palm Lightning technique, while a skill of lightning magic, also has its taboos.

If one uses the divine power to activate the Palm Thunder to strike someone, one must follow the procedure to announce to the Thunder Department and obtain approval before using it; otherwise, it will be considered "using the Palm Thunder without cause and reducing one's lifespan by one season."

The lightning bolt just now contained a lot of information, from the consciousness of Marshal Tianpeng, who believed that Li Xuan's cultivation was not diligent enough and his mind needed tempering. He also believed that this kind of zombie could be subdued with a full-force attack, and there was no need to ask for divine help, as it was a waste of public divine resources...

Li Xuan coughed out a puff of smoke, went to the altar, bowed to the north, and apologized to the Northern Emperor and Marshal Tianpeng.

He put away the altar and came to the black hole with a diameter of two meters that he had just created with the palm lightning. Looking inside, he saw that it was bottomless and could not be seen at all.

Mao Qing's entire worldview on cultivation was shattered. Although he had heard his disciple talk about Li Xuan's extraordinary abilities, he never expected him to be so miraculous, almost like a terrestrial immortal from a novel.

For the first time in his life, he stammered as he spoke, "Fellow Daoist, you...you..."

Li Xuan laughed and said, "Taoist technique, just palm lightning."

Mao Qing knew about the Palm Thunder spell; their Maoshan sect also had the Five Thunder Spells, one of which was Palm Thunder. When he first learned it, he secretly practiced it late at night, fantasizing about being able to unleash lightning from his palm. Unfortunately, he was now almost fifty years old. His martial arts skills were very high, but his Taoist arts were still stagnant.

When Mao Qing went down the mountain to travel the world, he saw some crooked and evil ways and some tricks. Most of the famous and righteous sects were the same, and their greatest offensive power was martial arts.

Unorthodox practices can produce some supernatural phenomena, but they have a very strong backlash against oneself and result in a very short lifespan. If a person's normal lifespan is 60 years, then practicing unorthodox practices will only allow them to live to their forties...

Mao Qing hesitated for a moment, then mustered his courage and asked, "I know I'm being presumptuous, but I really can't help it. I'd like to ask you, fellow Daoist... how is this magical power cultivated? Why haven't I made any progress in my decades of practicing Maoshan Daoist arts?"

Li Xuan said, "May I have your hand?"

Seeing that Li Xuan did not reject him, Mao Qing was overjoyed and quickly reached out his hand. Li Xuan pressed his index finger on Mao Qing's pulse point, slowly guiding his magic power there, carefully sensing the condition inside his body. When the magic power reached into Mao Qing's dantian, it could not go any further, as if it had hit an impenetrable wall.

Seeing that his expression was a little off, Mao Qing's heart tightened, and she asked, "Is there a problem?"

Li Xuan used his magic to attack Mao Qing's dantian, but the result was that the dantian was as firm as a rock and did not move at all, while Mao Qing himself was in so much pain that he was covered in sweat.

Limitations of this world?

He fell into deep thought and said, "It's getting late. Let me analyze the reasons and tell you tomorrow."

Mao Qing didn't dare to ask any more questions, forced a smile, clasped his hands and said, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you."

Li Xuan turned to Master Jiang beside him and said, "I can sense that there are still quite a few preserved corpses hidden in the Jiang family mansion. For example, there seems to be a hidden room next to the kitchen, and they are inside! If we want peace, it's best to deal with them now..."

In the past, if he heard that someone wanted to deal with his ancestor, Master Jiang, he would have drawn his sword immediately. But after witnessing such a terrifying zombie tonight...

Master Jiang nodded: "Okay, I'll handle it right away!"

Ordinary dried corpses are terrifying, but they are still just moving corpses. Master Jiang and the Knife King can kill two corpses with one slash and one sword.

……

Late at night, in a side room of the Jiang family home.

Li Xuan's magical power was completely restored. He shook the purple-red gourd to feel the amount inside and thought to himself, "This spiritual energy, combined with the Seventy-Two Arts, should be able to regenerate the severed limbs of those children."

Since he promised Mr. Sun that he would go back to Jicaotang to see the children again, he would definitely go back to see them before leaving this world.

It was nearing dawn, and the first hints of light were appearing in the east.

After Li Xuan broke through to the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation realm, he slept less and less, often substituting cultivation for sleep, since it was just a matter of blinking.

He lightly patted the gourd, and a large number of Taoist scriptures appeared on the table. He flipped through them one by one to look up information about Mao Qing Dantian.

After flipping through more than a dozen books, I found almost no record of this situation in Taoist scriptures. Only the Fengdu Taoist Scripture mentions something similar, which describes how the myriad worlds are different. In some worlds, the gods are not present, so magic is not manifest. Over time, the cultivator's body closes off the dantian to adapt to this world.

To restore a cultivator's dantian to normal, a divine spirit needs to re-enlighten the sect's main hall, or another normal cultivator needs to use their spiritual blood to break through the solidified dantian.

Li Xuan: “…”

The method described in this scripture, so far, seems tailor-made for him.

He's had the Taoist scriptures on him for a long time; it's impossible for the contents of the scriptures to constantly change and be updated in real time with his experiences.

He hesitated for a moment, then thought he could do a small experiment. There were righteous people in this world, like Mao Qing. If he could restart his cultivation seed, it would be a good deed.
