The power of lightning actually condensed into lines of abstruse words that revolved around Gu Xuan's body, surging into and flying out of his body, forming an energy cycle.
Gu Xuan was completely immersed in the sea of power of lightning and lost track of time.
At this moment, he seemed to see a forest of lightning in his closed eyes.
In his mind, he was still deducing the Heavenly Dipper Thunder Battle Art.
"What a powerful cultivation technique. It's far more powerful than I imagined!
I haven't even mastered it, but my body has already been refined by the power of lightning hundreds of times and strengthened by more than 10%.
Now, even a superior-grade Mystic Spirit Treasure won't be able to leave a single mark on my body without the support of energy.
However, refining the body is only one of the side effects of this cultivation technique.
Its true strength lies in the way of lightning attacks!
Therefore, I must cultivate it to the mastery stage as soon as possible! "
Gu Xuan thought rapidly.
He didn't realize that the speed of his progress in the cultivation of the "Heavenly Dipper Thunder Rushing Battle Art", even with his talent, still seemed too fast.
Unknowingly, all the insights he gained from watching the tribulation lightning in the Heavenly Tribulation had already merged into his understanding of this cultivation technique.
To be precise, the Heavenly Dipper Thunder Battle Art that Gu Xuan was cultivating right now had already embarked on a different path compared to the original cultivation technique.
Furthermore, this path was even more difficult but also more powerful!
"However, this is really strange.
The general outline of battle arts mentioned that the mark of initial success in cultivating the Heavenly Dipper Thunder Battle Art is to connect every inch of bone and every drop of blood in the body with the power of lightning.
When using lightning, one can reach the point of being able to use it at will.
In fact, one can even turn one's body into lightning!
Clearly, I've already done all that.
But why isn't the mark of initial success appearing in my glabella? "
Gu Xuan accelerated the circulation of the battle art. The power of lightning in his body was almost boiling.
Initially, the many restrictions that he set up in the cave were already greatly reduced under the impact of the power of lightning.
Dongfang Xue, who was hiding outside the cave to protect Gu Xuan, could not help but shake her head.
It was here again!
The aura of the lightning had already penetrated the restriction and could be vaguely felt from outside the cave.
If other Profound Sages passed by, they would immediately discover that someone was cultivating in the cave, and that someone had reached an extremely critical moment.
Dongfang Xue had no choice but to release her energy in order to completely suppress the aura of the lightning.
"From the looks of it, I'm afraid that even a day won't be enough."
Dongfang Xue furrowed her brows.
No matter what, he had to wake Gu Xuan up when the final ranking battle began.
Even though he was at a critical moment in his cultivation.
It couldn't be helped, the Ranking Battle was simply a great battle. Even if the martial artists ranked 20 to 30 weren't killed by others, they would still be annihilated by the rules of the Grand Competition set down by the Heaven Dao.
Weng!
Suddenly, a trembling sound was heard from the void.
Dongfang Xue's expression shifted slightly, and she abruptly turned to the left to find a teleportation spell formation a few thousand feet away.
A martial artist appeared in a spatial fluctuation.
"Haha, looks like I made it in time.
I'm one of the 30 spots!
My low profile wasn't in vain. From the time I was at the Third Heaven of the Saint realm, I didn't dare to make even a single mistake!
I also didn't participate in any unnecessary battles.
I'm sure that none of the martial artists participating in the Grand Competition have even heard of my name before. "
A human martial artist laughed heartily as he walked out of the teleportation spell formation.
It was fine if he didn't make a sound, but when he did, it had to be shocking!
This kind of feeling was the best!
Dongfang Xue furrowed her brows. At such a critical moment, a human martial artist had been teleported here. Moreover, he was a mid-stage Profound Sage. This was a really bad feeling.
Dongfang Xue was very clear that although she had completely consolidated her cultivation and her strength was close to that of a mid-stage Profound Sage, she still wasn't one.
The person in front of her was clearly an outstanding mid-stage Profound Sage. If they really fought, she wouldn't be a match for him.
Dongfang Xue didn't want to fight either. She only wanted to guard Gu Xuan and let him cultivate in peace.
However, at this moment, a ray of light suddenly shot out from Dongfang Xue's body!
At the same time, in the cave, a ray of light also shot out from Gu Xuan's body.
Di Huo, who was several hundred meters away, was no exception. A ray of light also appeared from his body.
Naturally, their position was exposed.
Gu Xuan was immersed in cultivation and didn't show any signs of movement. Di Huo and Dongfang Xue instantly became alert.
They both thought that the other party wanted to launch an attack.
However, they soon realized that they were wrong.
This was because they could see that there were rays of light shooting into the sky from all directions in the Ninth Realm!
Dongfang Xue immediately reacted.
The reason why these rays of light appeared was probably because the 30 experts who were qualified to participate in the final ranking battle had already gathered in the Ninth Realm!
Dongfang Xue's expression was grave.
The thing that she didn't want to see the most had happened.
Only nine days had passed since the deadline of ten days, and 30 experts had already gathered.
This meant that she had to wake Gu Xuan up immediately. There was no more time left for him to cultivate.
Dongfang Xue removed her disguise.
At this time, there was no point in disguising herself. Di Huo had already discovered her.
Di Huo naturally discovered Dongfang Xue.
However, he didn't make any movements.
In Dongfang Xue's direction, there were two rays of light shooting into the sky. It was obvious that there was another expert hiding in the cave behind Dongfang Xue.
Dong!
Dong dong!
The sound of drums came from the sky above the Nine Fingers Mountain. It was deafening and spread throughout the entire Ninth Realm.
An emotionless voice sounded in the void.
"The ranking battle of the Saint Rankings begins!
The time limit is ten days. The rankings will be announced every two days.
The initial rankings will be announced after the Burning Sky Saint Rankings descend! "
As soon as the voice fell, a golden book fell from the sky.
Whoosh whoosh.
The pages of the book flipped open.
Information was instantly transmitted into the minds of all the living beings in the Ninth Realm.
"The initial rankings of the Burning Sky Saint Rankings.
30th, Di Huo!
29th, Dongfang Xue!
28th, Jinmao Lion …
20th, Mister Liu …
10th, Lu Ming …
4th, Water Saint Sovereign!
3rd, Shi Zhixuan!
2nd, Occult King Baqi!
1st, Gu Xuan! "
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
As the initial rankings were announced, an identity jade tablet flew out from the Burning Sky Saint Rankings for every person that was announced.
Countless pairs of eyes stared in the direction that these identity jade tablets flew.
These jade tablets would expose everyone's location.
This meant that as long as one followed the jade tablet, they would be able to find a martial artist or beast that had a spot in the Grand Tournament.
The one that received the most attention was naturally the last jade tablet.
This was because it represented the first person in the initial rankings, Gu Xuan!
Di Huo and Dongfang Xue had both received their identity jade tablets at this moment.
Dongfang Xue gripped the jade tablet tightly. Her expression was very ugly.
When Gu Xuan's identity jade tablet followed the ray of light that erupted from Gu Xuan's body and entered the cave, Dongfang Xue's expression became even uglier.
In the distance, Di Huo stared at Dongfang Xue. His eyes were already shining.
He felt that a huge opportunity had been placed in front of him! This might be the only way for him to obtain first place in the Saint Rankings.
