It’s water!
Shen Tian understood.
Does it mean I have a natural-born water-type body? No wonder I’m so good-tempered. Guess I’m calm like water.
Shen Tian smiled and continued cultivating. He focused on the Water Lightning of the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique and started taking in the Spirit Qi in the air.
He swiftly absorbed the Spirit Stones’ Spirit Qi, and then, the golden marking on Shen Tian’s forehead started to shine. At the same time, the First Essence Heavy Water in his kidney was also stimulated.
The Spirit Qi Shen Tian absorbed spread quickly all over his body, and a golden lightning bolt burst out of Shen Tian’s forehead and mixed with the absorbed Spirit Qi. The First Essence Heavy Water in his body reacted in the same way too.
Soon, these two spirit items merged, and black lightning surrounded Shen Tian.
I need more Spirit Qi, a lot more!
Shen Tian took 10,000 Spirit Stones out of his Archeon Sea Ring and continued cultivating as waves of Spirit Qi gushed his body.
At first, Shen Tian was worried about suffering a Qi Deviation like before, but he realized he could handle it without issues. It was evident that his green halo allowed him to cultivate normally now. At least, Shen Tian felt that he could master the Water Divine Lightning easily.
Having nothing to worry about now, Shen Tian focused on cultivating. The lightning continued to gush out of his forehead, and a silver liquid formed on his skin.
Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao felt that the golden and silver rays of light emanated suffocating pressure, and they looked at Shen Tian like he was a god. The quality of the energy was just too potent.
The more Spirit Stones lost their energy and were crushed to dust, the more powerful Shen Tian’s aura grew.
Shen Tian’s Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique and Tinder Sutra—one a Qi cultivation technique, and the other a body-tempering technique—were the cause of this.
Surprisingly, the Mixed Divine Lightning resonated with the First Essence Heavy Water too.
Shen Tian felt the two cultivation methods he had were assisting each other. He reached the 4th Firmament of Body Tempering’s peak instantly and then broke through the 5th Firmament!
As for his Qi Refinement realm, it increased even faster.
Qi Refinement: 1st Firmament!
Qi Refinement: 2nd Firmament!
Qi Refinement: 3rd Firmament!
Qi Refinement: 4th Firmament!
Qi Refinement: 5th Firmament!
In just six hours, Shen Tian had reached the 5th Firmament of Qi Refinement!
If this piece of news were spread, everyone would be shocked!
When Shen Tian had cultivated the Tinder Sutra Body Tempering to the 4th Firmament, his physique alone could allow him to face 9th Firmament Qi Refinement cultivators.
Now that he had sufficient Spirit Stones and gotten a boost from the Mixed Divine Lightning and the First Essence Heavy Water, he would improve by leaps and bounds.
Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao were shocked by what they saw.
What is this? That’s depressing...
Shouldn’t the Demon Book of Hyuga be the fastest cultivation technique in the Eastern Wilderness?
Why is the prince doing it so easily?
Cultivators spend months and years to increase their cultivation levels, yet our prince can just do it easily when he feels like spending some Spirit Stones!? That’s so unfair to others! They might even suffer a Qi Deviation if they were to learn that!
Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao were really questioning why they were unable to cultivate with the same speed as Shen Tian.
...
Shen Tian was still cultivating, and his body was covered in black lightning.
Pure. Black. Lightning.
Black portrayed the color of Water in the Five Elements. Thus, it was normal for Black Tortoise IX Divine Lightning (Water) to be black in color.
Shen Tian looked like a lightning god that descended to the world. The only problem was that he was... too handsome.
Most importantly, his looks aside, Shen Tian felt that he was very close to mastering the Black Tortoise IX Divine Lightning (Water).
The Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique’s ten types of lightning were all Mixed Divine Lightning’s sub-branches.
Shen Tian had already devoured a huge amount of the Mixed Divine Lightning Origin back in the Sky Spirit Pavilion, so as he now cultivated on the Black Tortoise, the Divine Lightning Origin automatically produced many bolts of lightning.
As long as Shen Tian had sufficient Spirit Qi, he could effortlessly use Black Tortoise IX Divine Lightning (Water).
What was the most difficult problem for other cultivators was so easy for Shen Tian!
So that means I can use the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique as I please if I’m strong enough?
Shen Tian was delighted. Ever since he got rid of the black halo, it seemed that only good things were happening to him.
He took a deep breath and yelled, “Black Tortoise! Appear!”
The Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique could form the illusive avatars of the Five Elements’ guardians. A cultivator could use them in fights to boost their battle prowess.
That was exactly why Zhang Yunxi could summon the White Tiger’s avatar and was invincible among her peers.
Since Black Tortoise IX Divine Lightning (Water) was part of the Five Elements Lightning, it had its own avatar—that of a Black Tortoise. It was mainly used for defense and to suppress. In other words, the avatar could protect and reduce the damage Shen Tian received. In addition, it could transform into an indestructible plate armor.
This avatar was the strongest in terms of suppressing opponents and sealing all evil fiends. The Black Tortoise had been sealing fiends since ancient times.
Shen Tian felt that he had already mastered the Black Tortoise IX Divine Lightning (Water), and all he had to do now was to focus and form the Black Tortoise’s avatar.
He gave a loud shout, and the black lightning covering his body vibrated violently. He could feel a mysterious power awakening in his body. This mysterious power was nothing like strength and seemed to resemble the truth of the world.
Soon, a black light appeared on Shen Tian’s head. It carried incredible force and slowly formed the image of a black creature. As it stabilized itself on Shen Tian’s head, its true appearance took form. It was the IX Divine Lightning (Water)’s avatar, the Black Tortoise!
Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao were astonished when they saw the image appear above Shen Tian’s head.
Shen Tian glanced at the bewildered duo and said proudly, “What’s wrong? Are you guys admiring my talents now? Haha!”
Eunuch Gui stumbled and said slowly, “Yes! Your Highness is talented in cultivation, indeed. We are all impressed. If Concubine Lan were to know about this, she would be very happy!”
Shen Tian nodded with a smile.
However, Qin Gao silently took out a mirror and handed it to Shen Tian. “Your Highness, please take a look for yourself!”
What? Did I become more handsome from cultivation?
Shen Tian looked into the mirror.
Although nothing much seemed to have changed, when he saw the avatar he had formed, Shen Tian almost fainted.
