Chapter 990: Chapter 555: Mastering Multiple Arts, Destiny Decided

Hidden Dragon Pavilion, Cultivation Room

On the floor of the room, a Circulation Gathering Spirit Array is set up, with mid-grade Thunder Spirit Stones embedded in all sixty-four nodes.

At this moment, a Big Belly Golden Vase with a dark-gold body covered in gold-plated thunder patterns is placed in the center of the array, with threads of thunder light occasionally sputtering from the bottle mouth.

Zhao Sheng sits cross-legged at the edge of the Spirit Gathering Array, placing his hands on his dantian, forming the Treasure Bottle Seal, with a faint glow emanating from the center of his eyebrows.

As the Gathering Spirit Array continuously operates, a great amount of Thunder Spiritual Energy disperses from the Spirit Stones, condensing into a mist of spiritual energy that envelops the bottle mouth.

Moments later, the sound of thunder gradually arose within Zhao Sheng’s body, with electric light shining from the center of the Treasure Bottle Seal.

At that moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, shouting explosively: “Zha! Thunder~ come!”

The sound resounding like thunder, an arm-thick light-blue thunderbolt sprang out from the bottle mouth, seemingly as if it had eyes, it hit right in the center of the Treasure Bottle Seal, weakening some of its power, before instantly entering the Core Energy Sea in the dantian.

In an instant, Zhao Sheng’s entire body burst with numerous electric lights, enveloped by lightning all over, with his skin getting charred black and shedding the scabs swiftly, as if reborn.

Simultaneously, the flesh inside his body was continuously scorched by thunder power but swiftly regenerated and healed.

At this moment deep within the dantian, the Spirit Power Vortex madly devoured the erratic lightning, and made full efforts to refine the strange thunder power.

As thunderbolts were continuously refined, a gentle rain of spiritual power began within the dantian, droplets of pure Thunder Spiritual Power steadily fell into the “pond” below.

The pond expanded continuously, Zhao Sheng’s cultivation rapidly increased.

Meanwhile, this body, through repeated forging by thunderbolts, was constantly shattered and reformed, rapidly strengthening during these cycles of destruction and creation.

It must be said that after several lifetimes of cultivation, the Miracle Technique of “Star God Thousand Heart Technique” significantly aided Zhao Sheng’s path.

This lifetime was no exception, as he had secretly cultivated this Miracle Technique to the Small Success Realm early on.

While being able to focus on multiple efforts, not only did his primary cultivation technique rapidly progress, but the secondary cultivation in the three profound thunder skills “Seven-Transformation Thunder Method Body”, “Heavenly Gang Five Thunders Skill”, and “Thunder God Escape” also steadily improved.

As days and nights passed, three days went by in an instant.

Three days and nights of sleepless cultivation had astonishingly consumed ninety percent of the spiritual energy within the mid-grade Thunder Spirit Stones.

At this time, the natural thunderbolt contained within the Thunder Drawing Bottle had also reduced by nearly one-tenth.

However, the cultivation results were encouraging!

Zhao Sheng had refined the First Transition Thunderclap Battle Body to Great Success, his physique was over twice as strong as three days ago, and his cultivation successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment Second Layer, his Divine Sense range extended thirty-six meters further outward again.

The following day, the door of the Cultivation Room opened with a roar, Zhao Sheng stepped out from inside.

As he came out, Chen Shou, that young man, ran up to greet him, grinning fawningly: “Congratulations master on your great progress in cultivation! I have already prepared a bath for you, please cleanse yourself and wash away the dust!”

Hmm,

Zhao Sheng nodded, casually asked: “During these days, has anything happened in the manor? Are the madams getting along harmoniously?”

“Master, the madams are like sisters, their interactions are extremely harmonious. There is no major issue in the manor, just a pile of invitations from outside. The invitations have been placed in your study room, awaiting your review.” Chen Shou said quickly as he led Zhao Sheng towards the bathing room.

“I won’t look at the invitations. Convey a message to Chen Fu later, let him handle it as appropriate! Tell them I am in closed-door cultivation, and it’s inconvenient to meet guests.”

“Master, I understand! But the madams told me, once you emerged from seclusion, they want to…”

“Understood! You should know what to say and what not to say. Go ahead!… By the way, do you know who to inform first?”

“Haha, rest assured master! I shall report to Lady Ying immediately.”

Saying this, Chen Shou hurriedly turned around, and sprinted off to Cheng Ying Courtyard.

…

Five days passed in a flash, Zhao Sheng spared no effort in tending each flower.

On this day, the weather was bad, with dense clouds filling the sky.

With a creak, the door of the main room of Yu Mei House was pushed open, Zhao Sheng walked outside and looked at the gloomy sky, a hint of smile on his face.

“Husband, the weather is bad today, why not stay longer inside with me, why rush to leave?”

Just as the words came out, Chen Shuang hurriedly chased out from inside, clad in thin clothing, grabbed Zhao Sheng’s arm, her charming face filled with reluctance.

Zhao Sheng tenderly advised: “Shuang’er, be good! Next time, I will stay longer, but today there’s a thunderstorm, it’s an excellent day for cultivation. I am going to the Thunder Tower.”

“Alright then! Husband’s cultivation matters.” Chen Shuang slowly released her hand, reluctantly.

“Be good, it’s cold, you should go back inside.”

Zhao Sheng patted her shoulder, stepped into the courtyard center.

With a flick of his hand, the Ten-thousand-year-old Thunder Wood Sword flew out from his sleeve, hovering one foot above the ground.

Zhao Sheng stepped onto the wooden sword, his Divine Sense instantly communicated with the Spirit Sword.

In the next moment, the Thunder Wood Sword carried its owner as it soared into the sky, rushing towards the canopy of the First Layer of the tree.

As the Spirit Sword sped by, clouds and wind scattered along the way, fog rolled back to both sides, visibly forming a three-meter wide, hundred-mile-long heavenly path.

In a flash, crossing a hundred miles of void, Zhao Sheng reached above the canopy of the First Layer.

Compared to the second layer, the canopy’s area shrunk significantly, with a diameter of only about a hundred miles, its cross-sectional area under eight thousand miles.

However, the First Layer’s canopy is over two hundred miles above the ground, belonging to a thoroughly high-altitude environment, with most clouds below it, conditions extremely harsh, year-round freezing cold turning water into ice, and the air exceptionally thin.
