I proved immortality with thunder magic.

Chapter 90 Innate Thunder Element Technique

Hu Leifeng, the library.

When Zhou Tai heard Song Yanting utter the words "Azure Sun Divine Thunder," he instantly knew which cultivation technique his master practiced.

Among the nine lightning-attribute cultivation techniques given by Song Yanting, there happens to be one called the "Qingyang Thunder Scripture," which contains the cultivation method for the supernatural power "Qingyang Divine Thunder." This technique can be cultivated all the way up to the late Core Formation stage.

According to ancient texts, the "Azure Yang Divine Thunder" is a type of Yang Thunder technique. The divine thunder cultivated through it is pure and masculine, and is extremely adept at dispelling evil.

However, compared to the "Crimson Heaven Divine Thunder" he obtained, it is far inferior.

He also wanted to know where this "Azure Sun Divine Thunder" stood compared to other thunder magic techniques.

Then he looked at Song Yanting and said, "This disciple has heard of the legend of the Mad Thunder Master of the Nanhua Sect. I wonder, which is stronger, the Heavenly Gang Divine Thunder he wields or the Azure Yang Divine Thunder cultivated by Master?"

Upon hearing this, Song Yanting couldn't help but point at him and laugh, scolding, "You unworthy disciple, you certainly know how to ask tricky questions!"

Even so, he still answered Zhou Tai's question.

"I once heard that there are powerful beings in the cultivation world who have classified and ranked all the supernatural powers in the world. It is said that from strong to weak, they are top-level, first-class, second-class, and third-class. The specific rank of a supernatural power is mainly based on its power and the degree to which it manifests the power of the Great Dao Laws."

"Although some powerful beings do not agree with this grading system, the cultivation world often refers to this grading system when assessing the value of a supernatural power."

"If judged according to this method, the Azure Sun Divine Thunder that I cultivate can at most be considered a second-rate divine power, while the Heavenly Gang Divine Thunder is at least a first-rate divine power!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tai couldn't help but ask, "What about top-tier divine abilities? How are top-tier divine abilities classified?"

Song Yanting seemed to have anticipated his question and immediately replied, "It is said that anyone who can be called a top-tier supernatural being must possess the power of certain top-tier Great Dao Laws. Moreover, after cultivating their supernatural power to perfection, they can directly mobilize a small amount of Great Dao Law power, which greatly helps the cultivator in comprehending the true Great Dao Laws!"

At this point, the man couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "Top-tier divine abilities are extremely rare in the cultivation world. They are almost all controlled by various major sects and forces, representing the true foundation of a power. My Spirit Beast Mountain has been passed down for thousands of years, yet we have never obtained a single cultivation method for a top-tier divine ability!"

That's not necessarily true!

Zhou Tai smiled inwardly, secretly pleased with himself.

If we follow Song Yanting's statement, then the "Crimson Sky Divine Thunder" that he has not yet cultivated must be a top-level divine power.

After all, that was a powerful divine ability containing the power of the Great Dao of Destruction!

However, according to Song Yanting's statement, it would be extremely difficult for him to master the "Crimson Sky Divine Thunder".

Moreover, even if one successfully cultivates this supernatural power, one cannot use it lightly, lest others discover one's true identity.

A top-tier cultivation method for supernatural powers could potentially create a powerful immortal sect; the temptation is simply too great.

Just then, Song Yanting suddenly looked at him and said, "Alright, I have answered all your questions. Now it's time to talk about your choice."

Zhou Tai was initially hesitant, unsure of what to do.

But after Song Yanting's explanation, and understanding the use of supernatural powers for Foundation Establishment cultivators, they already knew how to choose.

Without hesitation, he replied, "Master, you are wise; this disciple wishes to cultivate the 'Innate Thunder Essence Technique'!"

Upon hearing his choice, Song Yanting immediately frowned and looked at him with a furrowed brow, asking, "Why this particular technique? What are your reasons for choosing it?"

This tone clearly indicated some dissatisfaction with Zhou Tai's choice.

Zhou Tai understood why Song Yanting was like this, because the "Innate Thunder Yuan Gong" was actually an advanced version of the "Minor Thunder Yuan Gong" that he cultivated. It was also one of the advanced thunder attribute techniques collected in the Spirit Beast Mountain sect's library, and even the one that could be cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage!

But that doesn't mean it's particularly outstanding.

On the contrary, this technique is not outstanding compared to other advanced lightning-attribute techniques. Even the accompanying lightning-attribute divine power cultivation method is just a "Primordial Lightning Force", which is not a divine power that can be used to open the Purple Mansion.

In contrast, advanced lightning-attribute cultivation techniques like the "Qingyang Thunder Scripture" often come with a lightning-attribute supernatural power that can open the Purple Mansion. Even if the power of the supernatural power is not very strong, it is most compatible with the cultivation technique, making it much easier and smoother to start the cultivation or to open the Purple Mansion in the future.

However, for Zhou Tai, since he was going to cultivate the "Crimson Sky Divine Thunder Technique" and planned to use this top-level divine power to open his Purple Mansion in the future, cultivating other thunder attribute techniques was not as good as the "Innate Thunder Yuan Technique".

Therefore, when faced with Song Yanting's questioning, he immediately bowed and said, "Master, you are wise. There are three reasons why I chose the 'Innate Thunder Yuan Technique'."

"Firstly, this technique can be cultivated up to the Nascent Soul stage, which alone makes it a top choice."

"Secondly, the Lesser Thunder Yuan Technique that I cultivated during my Qi Refining stage was derived from this technique. Now, switching to this technique will certainly be easier. Moreover, I feel that I have an affinity for this technique, and since I began cultivating it, everything has gone smoothly without encountering any bottlenecks or obstacles!"

"Thirdly, the 'Innate Thunder Essence Technique' is significantly faster to cultivate than many other techniques, and the magical power it produces is pure and peaceful, ensuring that it will not hinder the cultivation of any thunder magic or supernatural abilities later on!"

However, his reasons did not satisfy Song Yanting, who immediately looked at him with displeasure and questioned, "Have you thought about opening your Purple Mansion in the future? If you choose to cultivate this technique, you can only cultivate other supernatural abilities that are not compatible with it. At that time, let alone whether the process of cultivating supernatural abilities will be smooth or not, even if you successfully cultivate them, the possibility of successfully opening your Purple Mansion will be reduced!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tai calmly replied, "This disciple has naturally considered it, but I believe that in matters of cultivation, if one cannot achieve the best of both worlds, then one should make a balanced choice!"

"Cultivating the 'Innate Thunder Essence Technique' today might present some obstacles when you open your Purple Mansion in the future, but if you overcome these obstacles, the path to heaven will lie ahead!"

Song Yanting fell silent. He looked at his apprentice, who looked far too young, and didn't know whether to praise him for his lofty ambitions or to scold him for being unrealistic and ignorant of his own limitations.

But since Zhou Tai has such ambitions and has fully realized the advantages and disadvantages of his own choice, should his master force him to drink water instead?

In the end, all I could do was sigh and say, "Very well, since you know what you're doing, I will naturally respect your choice. I only hope that when the time comes for you to open your Purple Mansion, you won't regret your decision today!"

"Thank you for your understanding, Master. No matter what happens in the future, I will never regret it!"

Zhou Tai's expression turned serious, and he stated his attitude firmly.

Seeing this, Song Yanting didn't bring up the matter further. He simply looked at him and said calmly, "The 'Innate Thunder Element Technique' is a technique collected in the sect's library. Since you've chosen this technique, I'll allow you to choose another supernatural power technique from here. Go and take a look over there!"

As he spoke, he pointed out to Zhou Tai where he kept his secret techniques and supernatural abilities.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tai immediately bowed and said, "Master, I am deeply grateful for your kindness."

Then, full of joy, he went over and began to choose supernatural powers and secret techniques.

Now it's just a matter of choosing supernatural powers and secret techniques. As long as you know what the supernatural power is used for, you don't need to read the whole text. Therefore, it didn't take long for Zhou Tai to find a supernatural power he liked.

He picked up a jade slip and waved it at Song Yanting, saying, "Master, your disciple wishes to learn this Shadowless Lightning Escape Technique!"

Seeing his choice, Song Yanting couldn't help but frown and say, "Escape techniques are not easy to learn. Are you sure you want to learn such a difficult technique from the start?"

Zhou Tai replied earnestly, "I believe that it is precisely because the art of escape is difficult to learn yet extremely practical that we should learn it first."

"Alright, alright. As the saying goes, the master leads you through the door, but the cultivation is up to you. Since you're so opinionated, I'll see how far you can go in the future!"

Song Yanting waved his hand and agreed with a helpless expression.

He took Zhou Tai as his disciple, thinking that this fortunate disciple might inherit his mantle.

But now it seems unlikely!

However, now that the matter of accepting disciples has been settled, even if he is not satisfied with Zhou Tai's choice, he cannot go back on his word. Zhou Tai is completely unaware of this. After obtaining Song Yanting's consent, he immediately asked this master to personally make a copy of the "Shadowless Lightning Escape" cultivation method for him.

Of course, he also made a copy of the "Innate Thunder Yuan Technique".

After copying the techniques and supernatural abilities to Zhou Tai, Song Yanting, who was in a bad mood, waved him away.

"Alright, now that you've acquired all the cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities, go back to your cave and cultivate diligently. As for the schedule of the apprenticeship ceremony, just wait patiently for my instructions!"

Zhou Tai had already intended this, and upon hearing his words, he immediately and respectfully replied, "Disciple obeys. Then disciple will take his leave."

Then he left Hulei Peak happily.

"It's normal for young people to be ambitious, but we don't know if they have the ability to support their ambitions!"

Song Yanting watched his departing apprentice's figure, his eyes filled with complex emotions as he murmured to himself.
