Chapter 116: Chapter 86: Thunderstruck Wood

The character for “thunder” merged into the Dantian.

Qin Jin’s eyes were tightly closed, his spirit introspecting himself. At this moment, he controlled his being, blood and qi, and Life Energy, all surging simultaneously!

Treating his own body as a forge.

The characters on the Sky Curtain were a true understanding of cultivation, containing the most fundamental cultivation secrets. Now, as Qin Jin followed its guidance, the power within him surged up, forming a torrent within his physique, rushing toward the Dantian.

Amidst the surging power, it grew increasingly violent. Within the Dantian, the thunder character hung high above, and the converging torrent accumulated at its base, continually merging, colliding, and operating according to the Celestial Cyan Technique until… it ignited!

Igniting the flame!

His spirit introspected the Dantian, and under Qin Jin’s control, the ever-strengthening blood and qi and Life Energy merged like a high flame, burning as it incinerated the thunder character above.

It was recorded among the Sky Curtain characters that those with extraordinary talent could ignite the flame using their innate power.

Such figures, under the influence of their natural gifts, had better results in their initial honing stages, surpassing others, capable of withstanding more powerful treasures thus establishing an extraordinary foundation.

Qin Jin was not a Desolate Person and did not possess such innate talent.

But…

He cultivated Martial Arts, and the Life Energy tempered from it was his most primordial pure power.

The flame burned the thunder character, and from above in the Dantian, the thunder character descended, falling into the flaming blaze below.

Using treasures as fuel!

The flame ignited by the Celestial Cyan Technique was unusually special. In Qin Jin’s perception, the thunder character fell into the fire and actually began to burn.

However…

The speed was extremely slow.

The Divine Favor Power from the Divine Spirit was not something to be easily worn down.

If an ordinary person attempted this, they might find that even until the flame was completely extinguished, they would wither away without success.

Qin Jin had long been prepared.

At this moment, the golden mist surrounding him grew denser. With Wish Power ready, Qin Jin’s Spiritual Power fell into the flame, controlling the thunder character, and issued a command.

In a sudden boom, the flame within the Dantian halted for a moment.

The next instant.

The thunder character within the flame exploded, its Primordial Power erupted fiercely within the Dantian. Around Qin Jin, a frightening thunder manifested, its unusual color extremely daunting.

Using treasure as fuel requires enduring the power of its eruption.

The power contained within the thunder character merged into the flame. The flame surged up, and at its center, Qin Jin’s own power began to condense, fusing with the power contained within the thunder character, melding together to forge the Dao Foundation!

But as this process proceeded…

Unparalleled pain spread throughout Qin Jin.

Almost instantly, a tearing sensation spread through his physique, as his Dantian trembled violently, tottering constantly. Blood seeped from his skin, and in that instant, he looked quite miserable.

This was the price of using the thunder character as fuel.

Only by enduring the power of the treasure’s eruption can one forge the Dao Foundation.

This is the inevitable problem encountered when relying on external objects for cultivation.

Otherwise, within an Immortal Dynasty, a top-tier Celestial Pride with the backing of a top-tier background, forging a Dao Foundation with Dragon Bone Phoenix Feather from birth could indeed be called a step to the heavens.

As the physique trembled, the prepared Wish Power merged into the physique, beginning the repairs.

Divine Favor Power was extremely close to Qin Jin, greatly reducing the damage, preventing him from being torn apart instantly, giving him a chance.

However, its energy level was so high that Qin Jin had to bear this burden.

As tearing and repairing took place simultaneously, the pain intensified, but Qin Jin’s eyes remained tightly shut, his teeth clenched.

Gradually, he became accustomed to this sensation.

In cultivation, he had always been somewhat reckless.

Previously, while researching Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power and cultivating the Celestial Thunder Body, he had endured countless bouts of pain from being tempered by thunder. This process, though arduous, continuously tempered his physique, consolidating his mind.

From past causes to present effects.

While the pain persisted, Qin Jin adapted at an impressive speed.

Within the Dantian, the flame grew increasingly fervent.

Accompanied by Qin Jin’s control of the flame via the Celestial Cyan Technique, at the fire’s core, his Dao Foundation began to gradually form.

Time passed…

In cultivation, time is unknowable.

It was unclear how long had passed.

At a certain instant, Qin Jin suddenly opened his eyes.

A flash of flame flickered across his eyes, as if the flame burned within.

In the instant his eyes opened, the hatch opened, and Qin Jin leapt out, landing on the ground without his legs even bending.

This indicated that his Physical Strength and bone strength had reached a certain level.

As he clenched his fist, the Life Energy remained unstirred, yet with a mere thought, dazzling thunder surged forth, radiating brilliant splendor.

This was the power from the [Dao Foundation].

In the Celestial Cyan Immortal Dynasty, forging a Dao Foundation was considered a step into the extraordinary.

His Spiritual Power sensed himself, and in the Dantian, the Dao Foundation loomed high.

According to the information contained in the Sky Curtain characters, different cultivators, due to varying talents and treasures, had their Dao Foundations in different forms.

Now, as Qin Jin sensed the form of his own Dao Foundation, his gaze focused.

The Dao Foundation, forged from tempered power, appeared illusory, not substantial. Upon first sensing, what reflected in Qin Jin’s mind was a section of withered wood.

The withered wood bore roots, branched, but at present all were charred black, with thunder patterns traced above.

The form of Qin Jin’s Dao Foundation was a [Thunderstruck Wood].

Upon close perception, he made another discovery: on the branches of this Thunderstruck Wood, faintly visible were tender green buds, ready to bloom, struggling to emerge. Contained within was immense vitality, this Life Energy emanated from the Dao Foundation, continuously merging into his being.
