C33 On the eve of thunderstorm

"What's a lightning rod?" Seeing the iron chains on his body, Jing Tian once again reached out his hand to touch the Spirit Star on his back. This time, it was his turn to be confused.

Wan Qing laughed and clapped, "Hahaha, so there is something that you don't understand as well? Let me tell you something. "

The girl cleared her throat, shook her head, and said: "Because you just started training in the Storm Thunder Body, you are unable to attract the lightning. Also, your body can't withstand the huge lightning strikes right now, so you can only stay in the outermost layer of the lightning field. If that was the case, it would be very difficult for the lightning outside to strike you continuously. Tie the Spirit Star on your back, and the Spirit Star will be able to draw the lightning onto your body. That way, the lightning will be able to strike you. "

"Then wouldn't I be struck by lightning?" It was a shocking scene.

Hun Jian took a sip of tea: "That's right, I wanted you to be struck by lightning from the heavens. Storm Thunder Body's cultivation technique is something that I have comprehended based on a specific situation in the valley. With the unique lightning storm in the valley, we can draw upon the lightning as well as our body, allowing the lightning energy to continuously temper our bodies, thus achieving the goal of the Profound Qi gathering and accumulating energy at a fast rate. "

Jing Tian seemed to have realized something, "This is really a good way to borrow energy. Using a hundred thousand kilograms of thunder, break through the obstruction of the meridian."

"Good kid, you really have a good perception." Hun Jian clapped his hands in praise: "This cultivation technique is hard to learn because when the body is in contact with lightning, it is hard to adapt. Lei Li's control was also very delicate. The weaker part of his body wouldn't be affected. However, if we were to become stronger, our bodies would not be able to adapt. "

"I'll tell you." Wan Qing raised her small hands and shouted.

The old man caressed her hair lovingly. "Alright, let our little princess speak."

Hun Jian loved his little granddaughter too much, and so she was rarely disappointed.

"Originally, my poker skill was the best choice for early stage cultivation. The iron that was wrapped outside could draw thunder, but the god shock sword inside could not conduct electricity. If they mutually canceled out each other, the lightning from the thunderstorm would stimulate the body, yet they would not die immediately. It's a pity that you took off the clothes on the poker, so there's no way to draw thunder. "

Hearing these words, Jing Tian became clear. He continued, "So we can only move back and use the soft, thin body of the sword as a guide, and then use the iron chains to increase the power of lightning to achieve the desired effect. Little girl, what brother said is right? "

Wan Qing bit his nails as he stared at the sky with stars in his eyes. She walked to Jing Tian's side and tiptoed to touch Jing Tian's head. "Brother, what is in this thing? "How can you be so smart?"

Jing Tian thought that she wanted to do something, but after hearing that sentence, he lightly pushed Wan Qing a little: "Little girl, you are very weird."

Looking at the two of them making fun of each other, Hun Jian felt extremely happy. He had never thought that he, who had been lonely for more than two hundred years, would one day have the chance to enjoy the happiness of having a child around his knees.

After calming himself down, he said to Jing Tian, "Lei Bao will appear in the evening. We won't be able to eat tonight's dinner. Although we still have an afternoon, let's not linger around. "First, go to the minefield and take a look at the terrain. Then, I'll tell you about the various things that you need to pay attention to."

Time slowly passed, and when the evening came, the dead valley was already so dark that you could not even see your own fingers. Jing Tian had also stayed here for more than ten days, and the biggest impression dead valley gave him was that there was no clear distinction between the day and the day.

Whether it was noon or midnight, it was always misty here, and the light rays did not change much.

However, today was completely different than before. The fog above his head had actually turned into rolling black clouds. From the afternoon onwards, bursts of lightning would occasionally appear in the dark clouds. Roughly two hours later, ear-splitting thunder could be heard and a gale force wind blew near the minefield.

The Hun Jian patted Jing Tian's back. "The thunderstorm is about to begin. When the lightning strikes later, you have to use the Storm Thunder Body while defending against the lightning strikes. If you feel like you really can't take it, don't push it, just step back and you'll be safe. Remember, before you get used to the level of lightning in your current area, you must never move forward, not even half a step. "

Jing Tian nodded: "Grandpa, I understand."

Hun Jian turned around with the intention to leave, but he was still worried. He warned again, "Jing Tian, you must remember my words. I am also a disciple of the Hun Family, and am well aware that every single one of the Hun Family s have higher aspirations than the heavens. But with your current strength, you really can't take the thunder head-on. In the lightning zone, a single step was the difference between heaven and earth. If you go too deep and get struck by so many lightning strikes, even if I wanted to save you, it would be too late. "

After being in contact with him for so many days, Jing Tian knew that his grandfather definitely wasn't a foolish person. The fact that he could say all these things to him showed that he truly cared about him.

"Grandpa, don't worry. Jing Tian is not a reckless person." I will cultivate my skills step by step, and I will not be in too much of a hurry. "

"That's good." Hun Jian could be considered relieved. He then said to Wan Qing: "When cultivating, all of you have to draw thunder in your own areas, you better not be so mischievous as to disturb your brother. Otherwise, your grandfather will be angry."

Wan Qing coquettishly grabbed her grandfather's hand and flung him around: "Since this person is so obedient, he wouldn't cause trouble for Big Brother. On the contrary, grandpa, Lei Bao will be here soon, yet you're still nagging. "Since you've affected big brother's training, then go regret it."

"You little rascal." The Hun Jian that was being scolded by the little girl had now given a deep look at Jing Tian. In the next moment, he disappeared without a trace. However, Jing Tian and Wan Qing both knew that grandfather must have been secretly observing every single move here.

Wan Qing made a face towards the heavens: "Grandfather is biased, he treats Big Brother so well, and he doesn't even love Wan Qing anymore."

Jing Tian felt a bit embarrassed when he heard that.

Seeing his awkward state, Wan Qing giggled: "Alright, bro, I was joking with you. A thunderstorm is coming, you get ready. I'll go in and prepare in the area I can bear. "

"Mm, okay. Then you have to be careful." Jing Tian instructed.

Wan Qing leaped, and instantly fled a few hundred meters away. He turned his head and shouted to the heavens, "I've already played around in the lightning zone nearly a hundred times, I've long figured out Lei Bao's temper. Instead, it's you, Big Brother, who needs to be ready. "

Just as Jing Tian wanted to reply, the thunderstorm in the minefield suddenly grew. There was no telling how many peals of thunder there were in the sky. Wan Qing, who was in the distance, opened his mouth wide and said something to himself, but the sound of the thunder was too loud, he was unable to hear it clearly. Then, Wan Qing turned his head and sat cross-legged on the ground. His hands faced the sky, and an orange electrical light emitted from his palms.

He knew that the thunderstorm was about to arrive, so he quickly sat down cross-legged and faced the sky with both his hands.

He had just steadied himself when a howl more terrible than thunder came from the dark clouds above the leader. This voice was the same sharp voice that even Yuanyuan Yuanyuan had heard before. Now that he was here in person, even his soul began to tremble.

He knew that this voice contained an attack of mental energy. If he wore it, the effect would be much less on the spiritual sea. But Hun Jian did not agree with him, and gave him a convincing example.

During the time before the thunder had fallen, he suddenly recalled the conversation he had with the Sword Soul in the afternoon.

"Grandfather, when I was training the Storm Thunder Body, was Lei Bao's attack a physical or a mental attack?" Jing Tian suddenly thought of this question.

Hun Jian raised his head and looked at the fog that had begun to turn black, "Normally speaking, there are two types of attacks. One is to directly harm the body, and the other is to cause a terrifying weakening of the mind. However, there is only one type of attack in this world that is an exception, and that is lightning. "

Jing Tian looked up, "What's so special about lightning attacks?" Could it be that it can attack both the body and the soul at the same time? "

"Smart kid, you guessed all this." Hun Jian laughed.

"Hmph." Wan Qing who was seated at the side pouted his small mouth.

"You're smart, too. It's fine if you make a ruckus when we're alone." Hun Jian made a face on purpose: "Now that you have a brother, there can finally be someone who can help me manage you."

Wan Qing fell to the ground and stood up. He placed his hands on his waist and made a face at the two of them: "All of you are bullying me, I don't care about you anymore."

After saying that, she hopped to the side. Hun Jian looked at Jing Tian's pitiful state and said: "It's alright. Although the little girl is a little mischievous at times, she's very broad-minded and has a good temper. She won't be angry."

Jing Tian scratched his head. "It's good that she isn't angry. Oh right, Grandfather said that I should use the power of the thunderstorm to increase Profound Practitioner's cultivation. And then you said, when lightning strikes, it hurts the soul. "If that's the case, then I might as well wear it. With its defense, the damage to my spirit from the lightning should be minimized."

Hun Jian shook his head: "Not appropriate."

He knew that Jing Tian didn't understand and explained, "A few days ago, I said that the cultivators from four thousand years ago all dual cultivated the profound soul. In that ancient era, strong practitioners from the Fifth Rank were everywhere, and strong practitioners at the sixth stage were everywhere. As for the seventh stage, although they were few in number, they were not rare.

But in the next four thousand years, there was actually no one who was a powerhouse of the seventh step. More than two hundred years ago, I, who was only at Fifth Rank, was able to carry a god shock sword and flaunt my might in the entire continent.

Thus, I have concluded that most cultivators with high attainments, when under special circumstances, would cultivate both the profound soul and the spirit. Furthermore, the smaller the difference in profound soul, the higher the limit of cultivation will be. "

This was a question that he had never thought of before, and all the information he knew told him. There were fewer and fewer Duo Cultivators in the dynasty, but more and more people focused on the single path.

"Then, what about Little Sister Wan Qing?" "Then, what about Little Sister Wan Qing? This was the question that came to mind.

Hun Jian replied very briefly, "It's also a second rank, and a seventh seal Incantationer."

"What?" This was no small matter: "Wan Qing is actually a Soul Master of such high rank, and so balanced as well. Then, according to what Grandfather said, wouldn't her future accomplishments be extraordinary? "

"Sigh." Hun Jian shook his head. "Wan Qing is a pitiful child. She had trained very diligently, and she had suffered a lot. However, her cultivation in the Profound Practitioner would probably not be able to reach the Illustrious Phase of the Fourth Rank. Because his Yin constitution has restricted her development. "

"Extreme Yin Body?" Another new noun.

The reason why you and I weren't able to cultivate soul skills back then was because we received a curse. This is a very special situation." However, those who possessed the Yin Yang body constitution could feel profound energy and soul power. However, because their dantian and spirit sea were naturally small in size, they were unable to store too much energy. If a person with this kind of physique cultivates, the Yin will not be able to become a Foundation Establishment Xuan, and the Yang will not be able to become a Cursemancer.
