Zhaonan Prefecture.
"Hoo..."
Fang Zheng sat cross-legged on a mat, exhaling heavily, his face shadowed with gloom:
"The Five Ghost Celestial Demon Transformation actually has such severe aftereffects?"
"If I had known, I wouldn’t have pushed so hard back then. Letting Qian Fusong escape would have been better than possibly ending my cultivation path now."
"Ah!"
Fang Zheng shook his head and sighed softly, his face full of regret.
At that ti, he was overwheld with murderous intent, fixated only on finding a thod to drastically increase his power and kill Qian Fusong, completely forgetting that such Dharma Gates always had dangerous consequences.
All had aftereffects.
The more power increased, the greater the aftereffects.
The Five Ghost Celestial Demon Transformation fused the Power of Five Ghosts for personal use, making his strength in a short ti comparable to a Flawless Martial Artist, even stronger than a typical Flawless.
Such defiance against the heavens, how could there be no cost?
But in retrospect, if given another chance, he feared he would still make the sa choice.
"Ghost Energy invading the body, there is entry but no retreat!"
Fang Zheng’s brows furrowed tightly:
"Is it possible that I must beco a Ghost Cultivator in the future?"
Ghost Energy rging with True Qi essentially transford the attributes of True Qi.
Theoretically, unless so extraordinary treasure purged the Ghost Energy that fused with True Qi, one couldn’t cultivate other Dharma Gates.
Even if one could,
it would be greatly affected.
Only the rumored lineage of Ghost Cultivators could remain unaffected, instead gaining so advantage.
But not to ntion the rarity of Ghost Cultivation Techniques, even Master Jiuyuan didn’t possess them, abandoning the hard-earned legacy would also be a waste.
By now, Fang Zheng had already exited the state of Five Ghost Celestial Demon Transformation, but he was a shadow of his forr self, with hollow eyes and lifeless expressions.
Still resembling neither man nor ghost.
Quietly practicing the Elental Thunder Skill.
The circulation of True Qi was more sluggish than before.
But...
"Seems like the impact isn’t significant?"
Fang Zheng’s eyes flickered, trying other Dharma Gates again, though they were not smooth, it felt more like the normal fatigue after exhaustion.
Sowhat weakened, but harboring abundant vitality within.
Not like being in a post-Secret Technique aftereffect state.
"Strange?"
He scratched his chin, puzzled:
"Is it because I used the Five Ghost Celestial Demon Transformation for too short a ti, not enough to damage my foundation?"
"Or perhaps..."
"The Cultivation Technique description was exaggerated?"
Though puzzled, ultimately it was a good thing; having obtained the complete Elental Thunder Skill, he certainly didn’t want to switch cultivation again.
"Hmm?"
The anomaly in his Sea of Consciousness made Fang Zheng’s heart stir.
Yama Visualization thod!
Unbeknownst to him, a layer of Yin Energy covered the Yama depicted by his intent, with a more solid appearance compared to before.
Yin Energy?
No!
It was Ghost Energy!
Fang Zheng’s eyes twitched.
What was going on?
The Ghost Energy integrated into his body was being consud by the Yama summoned by the Visualization thod?
"Yama?"
"Yama!"
"The first ti Master Jiuyuan saw , he called Yama; could it be... related to this Yama Visualization thod?"
Baffled yet unable to figure it out, he simply stopped pondering over it, since the Ghost Energy issue had been resolved and the Elental Thunder Skill could continue to be cultivated.
"Hmm..."
Fang Zheng stretched his muscles, a wave of drowsiness rising uncontrollably; rushing all over and being busy for two days, he hadn’t had a proper rest.
Once he relaxed his mind, his eyelids felt as heavy as thousand-pound stones.
"Let’s sleep first!"
With that sleep.
It lasted a whole day and night.
When he opened his eyes again, his entire body felt pleasantly lazy, every part comfortable, and his previously exhausted mind now refreshed.
"It seems true, the Five Ghost Celestial Demon Transformation didn’t destroy my Martial Dao foundation; however, the decline of physical Essence is inevitable, even my cultivation base has regressed to so degree."
"Thinking of keeping it as a last resort is likely impossible; using it a few more tis, my body’s vital essence would surely be drained by the Five Ghosts."
"Hoo..."
He exhaled heavily, propped himself up from the bed, invigorating his spirit:
"Ti to get organized."
"Clatter..."
All the items spilled onto the desk.
The most conspicuous was Qian Fusong’s Treasure Sword, exceptionally sharp, even slicing through modern technologically forged Long Sabers.
Truly a Divine Weapon!
There were also two Magical Artifacts.
A palm-sized Magic Sword and a Binding Gold Rope.
Plus a few Spirit Talismans and so Silver Notes...
It seed that Qian Fusong had exhausted his ans that day, with no other trump cards on him, causing Fang Zheng to be startled in vain.
"I wonder if there’s anything here like a Storage Pouch, otherwise with more items accumulating, storing them becos inconvenient."
Mumbling softly, he gathered the items, sat cross-legged on the mat.
Be it Treasure Swords or Magical Artifacts, ultimately they were external and of little reliance; to Fang Zheng, only cultivation base and Cultivation Technique were fundantal.
Elental Thunder Skill!
With a shift of thought, the Celestial Secret Compass in his Sea of Consciousness began to rotate, and the "records" of Elental Thunder Skill appeared one by one in his mind.
Inside it, there was not only the complete version of Elental Thunder Skill but also insights from Master Jiuyuan’s cultivation, useful for reference.
It would also prevent going astray.
This Cultivation Technique he had long yearned for was finally in hand.
"Twelve levels!"
Fang Zheng raised an eyebrow slightly.
The complete version of Elental Thunder Skill comprised twelve levels in total.
The Realm of Nine Thunders ant Perfection for a Martial Artist, and when Nine Thunders united, one could beco a Master, advancing to the tenth level of the Elental Thunder Skill.
Master Jiuyuan.
Had cultivated to the tenth level of the Elental Thunder Skill.
Though he practiced only casually, his Martial Dao achievents were far inferior to his Magic.
Cultivating to the eleventh level paralleled Master Jiuyuan’s accomplishnts in the Magic domain; the twelfth level made one a top expert among Martial Arts Grandmasters.
By then, feared to be on par with the Daoist Lord of Profound Celestial Dao.
