Chapter 420 Perfecting the Divine Ability
The old clan leader nodded, stroking his beard as he said, "Then we shall clear the spirit fields and cultivate Purple-Vein Flowers extensively across all our clan's spirit veins. Before that, we'll first purchase this herb from various regions."
The 2 deliberated for a long while before drafting a contract specifically designed for clan cultivators utilizing the Spirit Gathering Guardian Formation and the Purple Vein Tempering Elixir.
After handling these matters, Eldrin returned to Spirit Isle Lake.
Upon his return to Spirit Isle Lake (Location), Lyra (Person Name) immediately requested his Pure Yang 5 Elements Divine Thunder Art (Divine Power): "Now that we've settled down, I wish to begin deducing the mysteries of the Aqua Yin Divine Thunder."
"Any leads?" Eldrin's eyes flickered with a trace of delight as he inquired.
Lyra shook her head, yet still explained, "I intend to use the 4 types of pure Yin divine thunders—Acid Gold, Dire Flame, Supple Wood, and Grave Earth—as my foundation to attempt reverse-deriving the Nihilous Water Divine Thunder."
"Yet this step is far from simple. However, possessing the 5 Pure Yang Divine Thunders might serve as reference to lend me crucial assistance."
"Is that so?"
Eldrin nodded slightly. Although the Divine Aqua Lightning of the Eastern Wastelands had been lost to time, it was ultimately merely an elementary-level supernatural art.
Given Lyra's (Person Name) innate talent and cultivation base, deducing 70 to 80 percent of it wouldn't pose much difficulty. However, achieving seamless harmony with the other 4 types of Pure Yin Divine Thunder to form the grand cycle of 5 Elements proved far from easy.
To achieve the Grand 5 Elements Cycle, 1 must perfectly align the 5 divine thunders, reaching the stage of elemental rotation.
At this thought, Eldrin handed his Pure Yang 5 Elements Divine Thunder to Lyra, his face lighting up with joy as he said, "With the Pure Yang 5 Elements Divine Thunder as reference, deducing the issues with the Profound Water Divine Thunder should pose little difficulty for you."
"I certainly hope so."
"As she spoke, Lyra handed the Pure Yin 5-Color Divine Light to Eldrin and continued, 'After the 5-colored divine light forms the great cycle of the 5 elements, the resulting 5-Color Spirit Tempering Art is truly astonishing.'"
"Once you master the 5 Divine Lights mystic art and form the 5 Elements Great Cycle within your body, your soul will never again be a weakness."
Eldrin received the 5-colored divine light jade slip, his expression grave as he nodded.
Among the 3 essentials of essence, energy, and spirit, the power of the soul is paramount. After all, a cultivator could still become a loose immortal even after losing their physical body, but should their soul be extinguished, even reincarnation would become nearly impossible.
In the days that followed, Eldrin began to immerse himself in cultivation, devoting his focus to spiritual practice and the refinement of divine thunder.
In the blink of an eye, 5 years had passed. On this day, within the secluded cultivation chamber, Eldrin wore a grave expression.
At this moment, within his sea of consciousness, 5 luminous sources engraved with Dao patterns lay dormant. 4 of them radiated a brilliant yet hazy glow, while the final earthy-yellow light remained persistently dim.
The 4 divine lights of Bing Fire, Geng Metal, Ren Water, and Jia Wood had all been successfully cultivated.
"Only the Divine Light of Wu Earth remains, lacking this final step."
Eldrin murmured to himself, "Over these past few years, I've continuously drawn insights from the 9 divine lights for deduction, and at last, I've nearly completed the deduction of the Earth Dominion Divine Light."
In his hands, he had 5 types of Pure Yang Divine Light to assist in the deduction, along with 5 types of Pure Yin Divine Light for reference. Particularly, the Ji Earth Divine Light, whose effects bore an uncanny resemblance to the Wu Earth Divine Light.
Through mutual inspiration, Eldrin's Earth Divine Light had been largely perfected. He was now making final modifications and adjustments to the subtle intricacies of the divine ability patterns.
As Eldrin continued his modifications, the Dao patterns of the Earth-Sovereign Divine Light underwent constant transformation.
The patterns of time within that Eldritch Earth Divine Radiance also gradually brightened, emerging from the deepest depths of obscurity.
He had no idea how much time had passed, but the Divine Earthlight gradually harmonized with the other 4 supernatural abilities. Upon reaching a certain critical juncture, the Divine Earthlight finally ignited in its full brilliance.
Then, 5 streams of light began to revolve around him. A powerful cycle of 5 elements drew upon Eldrin's spiritual sense, continuously expanding his sea of consciousness and refining his soul.
“Five-Color Spirit Tempering Art (Cultivation Art)。”
Eldrin (Person Name) opened his eyes, revealing a look of ecstatic delight.
Within the sea of consciousness, the 5 elements had formed a grand cycle. From this point onward, his spiritual sense would rapidly grow stronger.
This 5-Color Spirit Tempering Art (Cultivation Art) represents the supreme method of Spirit Tempering (Cultivation Art). As Eldrin's (Person Name) cultivation base advances and his 5-Colored Divine Light supernatural power grows stronger, its effects would become increasingly profound.
5 Thunders Forge the Body, 5 Lights Refine the Soul.
With these 10 divine abilities continuously enhancing his physical body and primordial spirit, his cultivation foundation would grow increasingly profound in the days to come.
Moreover, after mastering these 10 divine abilities, Eldrin had already learned all the prerequisite techniques for the 2 supreme divine abilities in this realm.
In the future, as his cultivation base grows, he might be able to comprehend the 'Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder' and the 'Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Light'.
Among these 2 divine abilities, the former stands as 1 of the most formidable offensive techniques in this realm, while the latter is hailed as the supreme auxiliary art in existence. Once mastered, 1 could sweep away all manifestations of the 5 Elements with a mere flick of their sleeve.
After mastering the 5 divine lights, Eldrin (Person Name) sparred with Lyra (Person Name) to test their newfound abilities.
After a brief exchange, he discovered that the 5-Colored Divine Light, enhanced by the 5 Elements Grand Cycle, now consumed 50 percent less energy while its power increased by 50 percent.
This 5-Colored Divine Light was inherently the bane of protective auras and defensive magical treasures, capable of subduing all 5 Elements artifacts. Now, with its power augmented by another 50 percent, the enhancement in its efficacy was immediately palpable.
Even an ordinary mid-to-low grade fourth-tier magical treasure would be ensnared by a single divine light from him. Even a supreme treasure like the Heaven's Ruin Immortal-Slaying Sword would be affected, unable to unleash its full power.
After sparring for a short while, Lyra (Person Name) said delightedly, "With this divine ability, your combat techniques will gain another layer of potency when facing opponents."
"Even this alone is still not quite enough." Eldrin murmured with delight, then shook his head. "For beings like you and me, ordinary Golden Core, Late Stage cultivators and even supreme-grade magic treasures pose little threat anymore."
"However, to truly threaten a Demon-Subduing Supreme Treasure, 1 would require at least Nascent Soul cultivation combined with a Great Divine Ability. Thus, it merely allows me to deal with Golden Core cultivators with greater ease."
Lyra also nodded and said with a smile, "When combined with the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void, this divine ability may not possess astonishing combat prowess against high-level cultivators."
"However, it proves remarkably effective against cultivators weaker than yourself. I daresay even a dozen or so mid-stage Golden Core (Cultivation Realm) cultivators would struggle to subdue you without specific countermeasures at their disposal."
"It's not that exaggerated." Eldrin shook his head, yet spoke with some confidence. "Even if I can't defeat them, not even a dozen or 20-some Golden Core early-to-mid stage cultivators working together would be able to keep me here."
Suppressing his thoughts, he pulled Lyra (Person Name) down with him once more and said with a gentle smile, "I shall assist you in deciphering the mysteries of the Aqua Thunder Art."
"Very well."
Lyra had spent years deducing the mysteries of the Aqua Divine Thunder. With thorough preliminary preparations already in place, she had now deciphered roughly 70 to 80 percent of its intricacies.
Now with Eldrin's assistance, the progress accelerated significantly. In merely 1 year's time, they successfully deduced the Mystic Water Divine Thunder.
