Chapter 435: Chapter 431: Upgrade
Great Thunder Sword Technique.
Ten Thousand Thunders Secret Scripture.
Thunder Origin Divine Body.
This was the first time Gu Jinlai had come to the Martial Saint Institute and he had already chosen the Cultivation Techniques he wanted to exchange.
Among the three techniques, the Thunder Origin Divine Body could effectively utilize the power of Thunder Magnetic Elemental Gold to strengthen oneself.
The Ten Thousand Thunders Secret Scripture, on the other hand, required the aid of Thunder-series Fierce Beast Essence Blood and followed the route of an Innate Divine Beast, its referential value greater than its practical value.
It had been almost two months since Gu Jinlai had exchanged for this technique, yet he had not formally begun its cultivation.
Among the three great techniques, the one that truly possessed immense power and strong divine abilities was precisely the Great Thunder Sword Technique.
Originally, due to its cultivation difficulty being akin to a nine-death one-life situation, Gu Jinlai had postponed it. Now having exchanged it, he used all the knowledge about thunder and lightning he had learned on Blue Star, or more precisely, the neutralization from the collision of positive and negative electrons, to conceive a new Cultivation Technique that was continuously evolving and fermenting in his mind.
Before long, a brand-new Cultivation Technique had emerged in his mind.
After the technique had emerged, Gu Jinlai glanced at the technique’s light orb.
Deep Purple.
It matched the level of a technique that could be cultivated up to the Martial Saint Stage.
However, when transforming this technique, he clearly felt somewhat unsatisfied.
Especially since this technique seemed to resonate with the Chaotic Thunder Primordial Body and Ten Thousand Thunders Secret Scripture he cultivated.
However, because the duration of the Qingguang was too brief, he had yet to understand the connection between the three, and the sense of resonance had already dissipated.
"It’s just Qingguang."
Gu Jinlai perceived for a moment.
Having first annihilated the Wan Family, then the Fang Family, and lastly raided the Bai Family and similarly executed several ringleaders, the quantity of Qingguang had reached thirty strands.
Having used one, twenty-nine strands remained.
It was sufficient.
With that thought, the second strand of Qingguang was infused into the mini consciousness figure.
Under the activation of Qingguang, his thoughts reached an unprecedented speed.
The Ten Thousand Thunders Secret Scripture, Great Thunder Sword Technique, and Chaotic Thunder Primordial Body continuously flickered in his mind.
The strands of thought in his mind also became increasingly clear.
When he infused the third strand of Qingguang, he also incorporated the concept of the Thunder Origin Divine Body.
The philosophies brought by the four great techniques constantly collided, and centered around the Chaotic Thunder Primordial Body to pick up the missing pieces. The technique, which had originally only faintly glimmered with golden light, grew increasingly brighter, until, in the later stages, it completely transformed into a golden color.
"The Ten Thousand Thunders Secret Scripture cultivates the cultivator’s own physical body, making oneself akin to various exotic beasts, capable of deriving and accommodating various Thunder Powers. The Great Thunder Sword Technique draws the power of thunderstorms into the body for refinement, like an Innate Divine Beast’s innate talents, born with accompanying divine abilities, able to summon the might of Heaven and Earth, able to control the wind and call the rain. The Thunder Origin Divine Body, on the other hand, acts as a bridge between the flesh and the power of Heaven and Earth, turning the pure flesh into something impure, transforming into a uniquely endowed Divine Beast body! As for the Chaotic Thunder Primordial Body..."
Gu Jinlai felt it and soon came to a realization.
It was the overarching guide!
This was leading the direction of evolution for this newborn "Divine Beast"!
Or one could say, an evolutionary tree.
"Buzzing!"
When the sixth Qingguang completely dissipated, a new Cultivation Technique was fully formed.
"The third golden Technique."
Gu Jinlai’s gaze lingered on the Eternal Furnace and the Void Projection Technique.
Among the three golden light orbs, the power of the Eternal Furnace was undoubtedly mighty.
To this day, it is still in a state of excessive output.
One careless moment could lead to death by one’s own hand.
Merely the release of stored energy could reach the level of a Great Divine Power User.
Even though it required a breath’s time to store energy, that was without considering Gu Jinlai’s level back then.
Without Undying Will.
A person whose spirit had not been sublimated, who had not even condensed an Undying Will, could unleash an attack like those who had sought the Great Dao of Earthly True Immortal...
It was like using a Little Overlord learning machine to run the calculations of a supercomputer.
Therefore, the power of the Eternal Furnace was beyond doubt.
As for the Void Projection Technique...
Gu Jinlai still did not know why this Technique reached the golden level.
It lacked any trace of divinity a golden Technique should have.
And now, the light orb he had just "synthesized" was the third one.
Its power...
After carefully perceiving it, Gu Jinlai took a long breath and said, "This is truly a Technique meant to transform a human into an Innate Divine Beast."
Since ancient times, human cultivation has been an emulation of Fierce Beasts, Devils, and even Divine Beasts.
Except for some Earthly True Immortals who could attain a stage comparable to Innate Divine Beasts...
No!
Some powerful Innate Divine Beasts are beyond even the Earthly True Immortals.
Otherwise, there would not be the creation of the path of the "Immortal Master."
And now...
Gu Jinlai had created out of nothing a path for humans to cultivate as Innate Divine Beasts.
This path’s mysteriousness and magic far exceed by countless times what Holy Land is currently researching—the path of the Human Immortal.
After all, even if someone managed to walk the path of Human Immortal, they would only be comparable to a Void Immortal, that is, an Earthly True Immortal at best.
Innate Divine Beasts, however, can truly reach a level comparable to a True Immortal.
If he were willing to make this cultivation technique public...
"Making it public would be meaningless,"
Gu Jinlai carefully pondered the cultivation technique once more.
The complexity of this cultivation technique far exceeded his expectations.
Since he had not perfected the Ten Thousand Thunders Secret Scripture, the Great Thunder Sword Technique, or the Thunder Origin Divine Body, the difficulty of this new cultivation technique had increased dramatically, even though he had referenced the concepts of these three techniques, without having personally experienced them.
It was like making a nuclear bomb.
Even with a complete scientific team, if they were to go to an industrially backward country...
Although the industrial level of this country barely met the standard for manufacturing nuclear bombs, many large projects still required a tremendous amount of resources. As a result, the actual creation of a nuclear bomb would be many times more difficult than under normal circumstances.
"The time required to master this golden skill is measured in millennia, just like many innate divine beasts take a thousand years to grow from infancy to adulthood. My new technique... might take even longer than the Eternal Furnace,"
Gu Jinlai said.
This cultivation technique further completed the Chaotic Thunder Primordial Body, turning it into a true golden technique, naturally warranting a new name.
"The ultimate goal of cultivating the Chaotic Thunder Primordial Body, the Great Thunder Sword Technique, the Ten Thousand Thunders Secret Scripture, and the Thunder Origin Divine Body was to further control the Eternal Furnace... I have a premonition that when I truly perfect this technique, it will inevitably merge with the Eternal Furnace to become a brand-new technique, just like..."
Gu Jinlai’s mind shone with a light: "Using electromagnetic force to bind hydrogen, helium, and other heavy elements, eventually evolving to become like a constant star..."
After all, the essence of the Eternal Furnace is actually simulating nuclear fusion.
The Eternal Furnace is nuclear fusion.
Constant stars also are nuclear fusion.
So, it would be reasonable for him to cultivate a constant star within his body in the future.
Moreover...
His initial cultivation method was the Grand Sun Nine Refinement Visualization Method, visualizing the Great Sun Core.
Later, he also cultivated the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Method, which itself indicated destiny.
As for the original name of the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Method being the Red Blood Demon God Body Refining Technique...
That’s not the point.
"The initial form of a constant star is a molecular cloud, formed by the collapse of a dense region within a molecular cloud. ’Molecular cloud’ is the scientific term, but commonly it’s called a starlight cloud... Therefore, the new technique will be called the Chaotic Star Light Body,"
Gu Jinlai declared.
Immediately, the unnamed golden light sphere underwent a change.
Chaotic Star Light Body: entry-level.
Although it was just entry-level, Gu Jinlai could see that, with the foundation of the Chaotic Thunder Primordial Body in place, this technique was not far from a small achievement.
He glanced at the remaining twenty-three Qingguang.
Gu Jinlai pondered, inserting some of the Qingguang into the Chaotic Star Light Body.
As Qingguang entered, his understanding of the Chaotic Star Light Body kept growing, not only strengthening the biological magnetism that had emerged within him but also his perception of the star magnetic field climbed once more.
Through this sense, he could clearly feel the birth and dissolution of every thunderstorm within a thousand miles.
Even...
He could barely exert influence on some thunderstorm areas.
This ability... 𝚗o𝚟pub.𝚌𝚘𝚖
"Thunderstorm!?"
In an instant, Gu Jinlai thought of the innate divine power that the Heavenly Dragon Wood had demonstrated on the overseas island.
With that divine power, it summoned a range of thunderclouds stretching over a hundred miles, reducing all living creatures beneath the thunderclouds to dust with thunderbolts containing temperatures of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of degrees.
At that time, he was deeply shocked by this power.
But now...
He had a hunch that once he cultivated the Chaotic Star Light Body to a certain degree, he could achieve the same feat.
Even...
He might do it even better than the Heavenly Dragon Wood.
Gu Jinlai’s gaze fell on the Chaotic Star Light Body.
Thanks to the profound accumulation of the Chaotic Thunder Primordial Body, with just nine Qingguang, the information of this technique had changed.
Chaotic Star Light Body: entry-level → small achievement.
"Every aspect has been strengthened, If I previously could barely step into the threshold of a peak Martial King without relying on the power of the Eternal Furnace, then now, after this round of enhancement, I would be considered outstanding even among peak Martial Kings,"
Gu Jinlai’s eyes twinkled: "And compared to before, when I could only practice by refining Thunder Magnetic Elemental Gold, now I can also collect Thunder Power from thunderstorms to temper my body and improve my cultivation."
After sensing for a moment, Gu Jinlai shifted his gaze away from the Chaotic Star Light Body.
He was now left with fourteen Qingguang, which was not enough to advance this golden technique to Mahayana.
After all, the Eternal Furnace took around fifty or sixty Qingguang to reach the Mahayana stage, and with the Chaotic Star Light Body being more difficult to cultivate, seventy or eighty weren’t exceptional either.
Moreover, if the Thunder Power he tempered was insufficient and the refining of the Thunder Magnetic Elemental Gold was lacking, he might not reach the threshold of Mahayana after maxing out the small achievement.
Therefore, he turned his attention towards the Thunder Staff and the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light divine abilities.
"Peak Martial Kings converted to the Devas Nine Stages are about the Fourth Rank, advancement in divine body rank adds one, perfecting a divine ability... If it’s a strong attack divine power, that’s enough for an increase by two ranks... which is equivalent to a Sixth-Rank Devas..."
Gu Jinlai’s gaze first focused on the Thunder Staff.
Another Qingguang was injected into the consciousness avatar.
Instantly, all the intricacies of the Thunder Staff collided with all known information on thunder and lightning in his mind...
Not just the related information, but also the Great Thunder Sword Technique that Gu Jinlai had just flipped through and contemplated.
He directly integrated the Thunder Staff into the attack and kill divine ability that would emerge after perfecting the Great Thunder Sword Technique.
Ten seconds later, a deep purple light ball formed and was renamed by Gu Jinlai as the Thunder Sword.
The next moment, the remaining thirteen Qingguang were all injected into the light ball representing the Thunder Sword.
Thunder Sword: entry-level → Mahayana.
