Is the first level of this secret technique this difficult to cultivate? I didn't expect that an instability of the lightning spiritual power, manifesting and exploding within my body, would almost cause me serious injury.
Zhang Ling couldn't help but curse inwardly. Just now, he introduced a wisp of Water Astral Lightning into his body, along with the lightning spiritual power transformed from the Azure Lightning Pill in his dantian, to condense the Lightning Light Mantra.
He didn't expect that as soon as the two clusters of lightning spiritual power came into contact, the lightning spiritual power instantly became violent. If he hadn't reacted quickly and instantly mobilized his spiritual power to wrap the lightning spiritual power and expel it from his dantian, his dantian would probably have suffered some damage by now.
Zhang Ling's face was unsightly as he constantly recalled the details of the Thunder Essence Spirit Nurturing Technique, but there were no mistakes in the cultivation incantations and hand seals. He was also well-prepared, with formations to assist, pills, and even Water Astral Divine Lightning. It shouldn't be like this...
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly turned his gaze towards the stone mirror that condensed the Water Astral Divine Lightning. An idea immediately came to his mind. Could it be because the Water Astral Divine Lightning is too powerful and his body can't handle it?
The more Zhang Ling thought about it, the more he felt that this guess was the most consistent with the situation just now. For a time, his face couldn't help but darken.
Next, he left the secret chamber and returned to his cave, pondering whether he should continue to cultivate this secret technique.
At the same time, he also checked some classic texts, as well as the few lightning attribute techniques and secret techniques he had, but he couldn't find a good method.
The matter is simple: the divine lightning is too strong. The easiest way is to collect other lightning attribute materials to attach to the Lightning Light Mantra.
But this is not easy. Yin attribute lightning is already scarce, and the easiest to obtain Yang lightning is heavenly lightning, but Yang lightning is even more overbearing and not suitable for the first level of cultivating secret techniques.
Thus, Zhang Ling was quite depressed. Every day, in addition to cultivating his techniques as usual, he was constantly worried about this matter.
In a flash, several months passed.
...
One day, Zhang Ling found a way to solve this problem while reading a jade slip. The Water Astral Divine Lightning is too strong to introduce into the body, but if the power of the divine lightning is weakened through some special medium, it may be possible to introduce the Water Astral Divine Lightning into the body.
After having an idea, Zhang Ling began to carefully consider the feasibility of this matter. In the following time, he was in the secret chamber researching this.
Lightning attribute spiritual power inherently contains powerful destructive power, and it is extremely swift and violent, unlike other five elements attributes that are easily absorbed by cultivators.
Even so, spiritual power does not exist independently, it carries the ability to change. It can not only assimilate but also transform into each other. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is also the same, changing every moment.
Lightning spiritual power is ultimately derived from the mutation of the five elements attributes. Many lightning attribute techniques and secret techniques also use the power of the five elements to assist in cultivation.
Common lightning rods, lightning-struck wood, lightning gathering stones, etc., have the corresponding effect of converting lightning spiritual power and can be used to refine magic tools and magical treasures.
To introduce lightning spiritual power into the body, the risks involved are not just the difficulties of refining treasures. Ordinary auxiliary methods will not work, because he needs to condense the Thunder Essence Mantra within his dantian to refine the spiritual power in his body.
As a medium, the natal object will have the best effect.
Inside the secret chamber, Zhang Ling was making a strange movement. He raised his left hand, and the parasitic strange vine on his arm spiraled out, a cyan-red round bead appeared above his head, constantly rotating and releasing cyan-red light.
In this spiritual light, the strange vine gradually split, turning into strands as thin as hair and attaching to his body.
For a time, his body appeared cyan and red. Then, with a flash of cyan light, the Two Elements Gourd was also summoned out of Zhang Ling's body. A mass of black sand containing cyan and white energy flowed out and covered the surface of his body.
After that, he closed his eyes and sat down to meditate to restore his whole body state. Then, the Yin Yang Lightning Light Formation's formation plate was thrown above his head again, and one after another hand seals were cast on it.
Before long, cyan and white clouds floated in the sky above the secret chamber, and heavy black mist flowed below. Bright cyan lightning and black-blue lightning foxes filled the entire space in a few breaths.
Under the control of the formation plate, a layer of cyan-black lightning light covered his body. After a while, the lightning light cover turned pure black, and a few tiny strands of Water Astral Divine Lightning floated on it.
Thus, Zhang Ling's body was wrapped in lightning light on the outside, a layer of black sand spheres on the inside, and the surface of his body was constantly flashing with cyan-red spiritual light, with strands of vines constantly moving.
Zhang Ling moved his mind to control the formation to release a small amount of Water Astral Divine Lightning and gather it towards his body.
He saw the outermost lightning light cover flashing with electric arcs, and he immediately felt his body tremble. At the same time, he sensed that after the Water Astral Divine Lightning passed through the black sand and the vines on the surface of his body, it indeed reduced some of its power.
At this time, the vines on the surface of his body moved quickly, jumping with weak electric arcs. It seemed weak, but it was continuous. Many vines directly turned withered and black, like they were attacked, and turned into wisps of green smoke and dissipated.
This scene was naturally imprinted in Zhang Ling's mind. The weakened Water Astral Divine Lightning still seemed to be quite powerful. He constantly controlled the vine roots and regenerated a large number of vines to attach to his body.
Then, he took an Azure Lightning Pill and re-cultivated the Thunder Essence Spirit Nurturing Technique.
The lightning spiritual power transformed from the pill, under the powerful wrapping of earth spiritual power in his body, all gathered in his dantian. Zhang Ling recited the incantation and his hand seals changed rapidly, controlling the lightning spiritual power to condense into a mantra seal.
After the mantra seal stabilized, he guided the Water Astral Divine Lightning attached to the vines towards the dantian.
A weak black and bright electric arc quickly shuttled through his body after merging into it, and instantly arrived at the dantian.
Zhang Ling couldn't help but tremble all over. At this moment was the crucial moment, he didn't dare to relax in the slightest, holding his breath and concentrating on condensing the Lightning Light Mantra according to the secret method.
Under his conscious control, the two clusters of lightning spiritual power intertwined and became a little violent, but they were much gentler than before.
Seven or eight days passed in this way, and the secret chamber flashed with lightning and crackling sounds. In the mist, Zhang Ling opened his eyes, raised his hand, and a strand of extremely thin black-cyan electric arc appeared in his palm.
He suddenly flicked his hand forward, and the electric arc in his hand disappeared. Only a crisp cracking sound was heard, and a ball of electric arcs exploded in the mid-air ten feet away.
"Haha, the first Lightning Light Mantra has basically stabilized."
Zhang Ling muttered to himself with a smile on his face, gently flicking his fingers a few times, and suddenly a series of thunderous sounds came, exploding a ball of electric light around him.
This is a common lightning attribute attack method, Palm Lightning. The power doesn't look great, but he is very happy at the moment.
At this moment, within the dantian qi sea, a small electric arc was constantly jumping, floating next to the golden core. Every time the electric light jumped, the spiritual power wrapping the golden core trembled slightly.
This Lightning Light Mantra was only initially condensed and will require a long time of cultivation to stabilize.
