Battle Through the Heavens: The Rock King Emperor's Leisurely Wanderings in the Mortal World

Chapter 14 The Ranking of Strange Thunders & The Eternal Thunder Technique

"The Ranking of Strange Lightning?" A hint of anticipation flashed in Zhong Li's eyes as he slowly unfolded it. In an instant, a crimson spherical lightning bolt shot towards Zhong Li's face like an arrow released from a bow. Its speed was so fast that it was like a bullet leaving a gun, leaving almost no time to react.

With a thought, Zhongli felt the Earth's core power instantly and gently enveloped his body like a thin veil. The ball lightning struck Zhongli squarely between the eyebrows, but just a moment later, it was firmly blocked by the almost transparent "protective membrane" formed by the Earth's core power.

The power of the lightning spread slowly outwards from the center of Zhongli's brow. The originally arrogant ball of lightning, under the impact of this power, seemed to be tamed, obediently hovering above Zhongli's palm.

"This lightning seed contains a trace of divine power of lightning. It seems it has recognized me as well," Zhong Li pondered.

Subsequently, Zhongli's experience was once again placed on the list of extraordinary events.

Zhong Li quickly scanned the list of extraordinary lightning strikes. Beneath the dense records of these extraordinary lightning strikes, a detailed account of Lei Dianzhen's unique cultivation technique—the "Eternal Thunder Technique"—was prominently displayed. A slight smirk played on Zhong Li's lips as he remarked, "Look at this handwriting. It truly is Lei Dianzhen's work; the characters are still as smooth and rounded as ever."

The prerequisites for the "Eternal Thunder Technique" are extremely unique. It requires the Heart of the Thunder God as the activation source and the Eye of the Thunder God as the key switch for activation. Only in this way can a second soul meridian be opened within the body for the circulation of battle qi. If one already possesses thunder-attribute battle qi, this method will completely cover the existing battle qi meridians, causing severe damage to the foundation of battle qi and resulting in severe meridian disorder. In mild cases, bodily functions will be paralyzed; in severe cases, life will be in danger, with the risk of death.

If one can avoid lightning-attribute battle qi, one can achieve dual cultivation of different attribute battle qi without causing battle qi disorder. This technique starts below the low-level Yellow Rank and can be practiced at the Battle Qi stage. By absorbing and devouring different lightning, the technique can evolve. If one can absorb the lowest-ranked different lightning on the list—the Crimson Flame Burning Lightning—this technique can advance to the low-level Yellow Rank.

Zhong Li gently put down the list of extraordinary lightning bolts, then slowly picked up the notebook that recorded her travels across the Dou Qi Continent. This notebook detailed the methods for absorbing twenty-three different types of extraordinary lightning, their hidden locations, and her various adventures and experiences during her travels. It included not only rare and exotic herbs, mysterious and unpredictable strange flames, and precious and unique pill formulas, but also the names of people such as Lei Yuan, the Ancient Emperor, Hun Shi, and Zhu Xu.

This was exactly what Zhongli desperately needed. Since arriving in this world, Zhongli's deepest feeling was that his understanding of it was extremely limited, which made him hesitant to offer advice to Xiao Yan. Now, with this encyclopedia of Dou Qi written by Lei Dianzhen, whose handwriting was characterized by its rounded elegance, many problems were naturally solved.

Zhongli's reading and memory abilities were extraordinary; he possessed the talent of photographic memory. The seemingly light as a cicada's wing and thin as a sheet of paper, under the influence of divine power, was incredibly compressed into a strange form containing 100,000 pages of content. However, this did not stump Zhongli; he swiftly and accurately imprinted all the information on the paper into his mind.

Zhong Li gently closed the "encyclopedia," turned his gaze to the strange thunder floating beside his ear, and smiled: "It seems that the ceremony for accepting disciples is already in place."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhongli picked up the Thunder Ranking again and slowly closed his eyes. In an instant, a dark purple light flashed on his chest, and then a round eye of the Thunder God appeared out of thin air before his eyes.

Under the wondrous creation method of the "Eternal Thunder Technique," Zhongli slowly activated his own fierce and boundless Thunder God power. In an instant, a dazzling light burst forth from Zhongli's chest, like a nimble bolt of lightning, shooting straight into the mysterious Ranking of Extraordinary Thunders.

Zhong Li's movements were gentle and elegant. He carefully placed the Eye of God, which contained the power of thunder, into the dazzling light emanating from the Thunder Ranking. In that instant, time seemed to freeze.

Then, an astonishing scene unfolded. The Ranking of Strange Thunders suddenly erupted with an even more intense light, which, like a ferocious dragon, charged menacingly towards the Eye of Thunder. As time quietly passed, the Eye of Thunder, which had originally exuded a mysterious aura, vanished into thin air like a bubble.

However, the miraculous transformation continued. Under Zhongli's profound gaze, the Eye of Thor transformed into a manual exactly the same size as the Ranking of Extraordinary Thunder. On the cover of this manual were clearly written four large, rounded characters—"Eternal Thunder Technique." And in the lower right corner of these four characters, a unique line of smaller text was engraved: "This manual is a one-time consumable item, dear."

Zhong Li shook his head slightly, a smile playing on his lips, as if he could sense a unique playfulness in the leaping lightning. He almost forgot that lightning wasn't just a valiant warrior protecting the country; in Zhong Li's eyes, it was also a lively and adorable little girl.

"Thank you, Shadow." Zhong Li nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the two naginata in front of him, and said softly.

After that, two small stones always floated above Zhongli's shoulders: one was a miniature version of the Earthly Lock, and the other was a miniature version of the Celestial Star.

As his divine sense slowly returned to reality, his divine awareness quietly began to investigate, and he once again captured that familiar aura.
