This "Purple Heaven Thunder" was the best at subduing demons and devils, and sweeping away evil Qi. Moreover, the more powerful one's magical power was, the more powerful it would be.
Zhang Yan pondered to himself that if he were to learn this divine ability and use it to condense his Fa Li True Seal to raise it by another level, he would definitely be able to gain the upper hand when fighting against the devil sect cultivators in the future.
He stood under this stone tablet for a while, Just Now, he moved away and walked towards the first stone tablet.
The first stone tablet was engraved with the "Dragon Great Thunder Seal", which was known as the number one magical power among the twelve magical powers.
It was said that this magical power had the ability to destroy mountains and shatter the earth.
However, it was a pity that not only was the difficulty of cultivating this cultivation technique no less than that of the "Five Elements Escape Technique" and the "Purple Heaven Divine Thunder", one had to first learn the "Northern Underworld True Water", and the person who cultivated it had to be a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. Thus, only Qi Yuntian could learn this sacred art.
In the past, although all the top ten disciples could practice magical powers, only Qi Yuntian could practice three, and he also practiced many small magical powers. Even now, Huo Xuan had entered the Yuanying realm and became the head of the top ten disciples, but he was still far from being a match for him.
Zhang Yan shook his head gently. He thought that Qi Yuntian, as the third generation disciple and the successor of the next generation Sect Leader, could at least learn three magical powers, in addition to that, he might have some secret magical powers that were not known to outsiders. If he only measured his combat power by the methods that everyone knew, he would still be underestimating this person.
He walked back to the second stone tablet. After looking at it for a while, he reached out and took down the wooden tablet that was hanging high up.
The seal on the stone tablet suddenly disappeared. The black and white characters on the tablet were all written in etchings. Before he could take a closer look, the characters floated and jumped out from the surface of the tablet. Then, they twisted together and turned into a golden Talisman that flew towards him.
He did not resist and let the golden talisman fly into his eyebrows. Then, the floating light shone and covered the entire stone tablet. He could no longer watch it.
He looked into his Sea of Consciousness and saw the talisman floating quietly in it. He smiled in satisfaction and walked to the third stone tablet.
As one of the top ten disciples in the sect, he could learn one divine ability. After killing the old devil on Yao Yin Mountain, the sect leader allowed him to learn another one.
His second choice was the "Five Elements Escape Technique".
He stretched out his hand. He took down the wooden tablet as well.
The seal swayed and also transformed into a golden talisman that entered his glabella.
After receiving the two talismans, he turned around and walked out of the door of the cave without any reluctance.
The white-haired elder had been waiting outside the stone door the whole time. When he saw him come out, he said, "Junior brother, have you chosen?"
Zhang Yan nodded. He cupped his hands and said, "I've already chosen. I'll have to trouble Senior Brother to wait for me."
"It doesn't matter." Daoren was very polite. He raised his hand and the stone door closed. Then, he turned his head and smiled at Zhang Yan. He said, "Junior brother Zhang, do you need Daoren to accompany you somewhere?"
Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "No need to trouble Senior Brother, I'll go myself."
Daoren didn't force him. After cupping his hands, he waved his horsetail whisk and summoned a cloud. He flew into the air and left.
When Daoren left, a Daoist nun happened to pass by. Seeing his back, her expression changed and she revealed a pondering expression. She looked to the left and saw that there was no one there. Then, she flew toward the cave residence that hid the divine ability.
At this moment, Zhang Yan had already left the cave residence. He returned to the book cave.
The deacon Daoist welcomed him and said, "Martial Uncle Zhang must have chosen the cultivation technique?"
Zhang Yan smiled and nodded, "But I still need you to find a few books."
The deacon Daoist said, "What are you talking about? Just tell me what books you want."
Zhang Yan told him about the books he wanted to read. The Daoist thought about it and said, "Although it's a little trivial, it's not hard to find. Martial Uncle, please wait for a moment. I'll be back soon."
The deacon Daoist bowed and left. He asked a maid to bring a cup of fragrant tea to Zhang Yan before he went to choose the books.
Although the deacon Daoist guarded the scripture pavilion for many years, he couldn't practice any Daoist techniques. Moreover, the deacon position of Jing Luo Academy wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. It was actually quite important, so he couldn't just change the person. Therefore, he could only sit here. Other than the few rewards from the sect, he couldn't go out to find anything else.
If it was the deacons of the other eight courtyards, it would be fine, as there would always be some extra benefits to be gained. However, anyone who came to this courtyard was either an Elder of the sect or one of the top ten disciples. Who would spare a glance for a Handyman Deacon? Therefore, it was hard on him.
Only Zhang Yan was able to give him a taste of sweetness every time he came. Although it wasn't much, it made the difference in comparison. Thus, he was especially enthusiastic.
If it was someone else who came, the scriptures here were as vast as the ocean. If you didn't give them any benefits, they would let you read them and they would just say they didn't know.
Just like the last time Han Suyi came with his disciple. They searched for three days and Only Now did they find a suitable cultivation technique. Actually, to the deacon Daoist, it was just a matter of running errands.
Although the cultivators in this world wanted to live forever and transcend the mortal world, they didn't want to be devoid of humanity. There were still emotions, desires, and greed. If one really had no desires, then what was the point of cultivating? What was the point of becoming an immortal?
Zhang Yan waited for about an hour. The deacon Daoist ran back panting and handed him a jade scroll. He said, "Uncle-Master Zhang, I found a thousand books. Everything you need is inside."
Zhang Yan looked through it and was surprised. He looked at the deacon Daoist and said, "Thank you, Uncle-Master."
The deacon Daoist looked happy. He bowed and said, "It's good that you like it, Uncle-Master."
Zhang Yan originally ordered him to find all kinds of records about the "Purple Heaven Thunderbolt" performed by the seniors in Qincang School. He wanted to verify it when he practiced using it. But the deacon Daoist was clever. He not only found the records about the "Purple Heaven Thunderbolt", but also the records of the other 11 magical powers.
Zhang Yan put away the jade slip and was about to stand up and leave. Before he walked out, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and his footsteps stopped before he said, "I have a few disciples that will come here to open the scriptures in the future. If I have no time to come here, please take care of me, Martial Nephew."
The deacon Daoist understood and sighed deliberately. He said, "Uncle-Master, as one of the top ten disciples, you don't have much free time. As juniors in the sect, we should share the worries of our masters. If there are any senior sisters or brothers from Uncle-Master's sect who come here, I will definitely treat them well."
Logically speaking, if the ten great disciples were not brought here by their masters, they could not casually flip through the scrolls. However, rules were dead, and people were alive. Everything could be changed, and fundamentally speaking, it was not a big deal.
Zhang Yan smiled. He waved his sleeve and walked out of the scripture cave. Then he flew on his sword and returned to Clear Nether Heavenly Lake.
Not long after, he returned to the cave, entered the formation door, and sat on the jade bench. Without hesitation, he chose one of the talismans and started refining it.
The talisman was the "Five Elements Escape Technique".
Zhang Yan roughly flipped through the book and slowly put it down. His eyes shone brightly.
Only now did he understand why so few people practiced this Divine Ability. It turned out that when practicing this Divine Ability, one had to first practice a Profound Technique in order to gather the Qi of the five elements. Only then would one be able to execute such an escape technique. If the Qi of the five elements in one's chest was exhausted, then this Divine Ability would be as good as nonexistent, and one would have to cultivate it again.
But if a cultivator had that kind of time, it would be better to refine their magic power into a purer form, or to search for a few more magic treasures. In the worst case, they could still improve their cultivation. It was better than spending their energy on a technique that could not immediately defeat the enemy and obtain victory.
But for Zhang Yan, this technique seemed to be tailor-made for him.
He'd felt that this cultivation technique of his might have something in common with the Five Element Grand Mystery True Light, so he'd intended to use it to cultivate, yet he'd never imagined that it would be rather compatible with each other, and it saved him a great deal of trouble.
Because of this, he was even more determined to use the Taixuan True Light of Five Elements as his main technique.
But at the moment, he hadn't mastered the "Five Elements True Light" technique, and it wasn't the time to practice this technique. So he put it aside and refined the other talisman.
The "Purple Heaven Thunder" technique flowed slowly in his heart like water.
But after memorizing all of them, he frowned slightly.
This divine ability was profound and difficult to understand. It was indeed not easy to cultivate. Usually, starting from the beginning and then cultivating it to the point where it could fight against enemies, even if one practiced day and night, it would still take hundreds of years. But for him, with the broken jade in hand, it wasn't a problem. But there was a problem, and that was to practice this technique, he needed the help of a foreign object called "Purple Star Sand".
If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't know about this before he obtained this technique.
Fortunately, the Spiritual Mechanism Institute had collected a lot of it. If it was someone else, it would be hard to get it. But he was one of the top ten disciples, so he could use it. He just had to exchange spirit shells for some.
While he was thinking, he suddenly felt something. With a wave of his hand, he opened the array door and let a golden ray in.
He took it and looked at it. It was the Golden Seal of Ji Shu of Yaoyin Mountain. There was also a letter. When he opened it, it was the Sect Master's decree. It wanted him to rush to Qing Tong Mountain in three days to release Fang Zhenlu from that small world.
He put the golden seal away and thought for a while. First, he picked up a brush and wrote a letter to Yue Tian Pavilion. He ordered the people in the pavilion to prepare some cave furnishings and send them to Jiuqu Xi Palace. Then, he flew out of the cave and went to the Spiritual Mechanism Institute.
On top of Ten Peaks Mountain, a talisman flew over like lightning.
Huo Xuan, who was nurturing a Magic Treasure here, suddenly opened his eyes and took the talisman. He opened it and looked at it, and he pondered for a long time before he sighed and said, "Guards."
A female cultivator with average looks and a big waist walked in. She bowed and said, "Young master, what can I do for you?"
Huo Xuan said in a deep voice, "Go to the Spiritual Mechanism Institute and exchange for some of the Purple Star Sand."
The female cultivator raised her eyebrows and said in a rough voice, "Young master, do you want me to collect all of it?"
Huo Xuan looked at her and said in a deep voice, "No need. Just take most of it and leave a little."
The female cultivator bowed and left.
