Chapter 272: Nine Heavens Heavenly Thunder (2)

Although the Soul Reaper Rope and the Wailing Staff were also divine soul weapons, they were more like independent weapons made from Lu Yuan’s own divine soul.
Therefore, although these two weapons were quite powerful, they were not particularly powerful.
Lu Yuan would not use these two weapons normally.
He would only use these two weapons in special situations, such as when he needed to fight but did not want to expose his identity.
Therefore, in a sense, these two weapons were Lu Yuan’s hidden trump cards.
As for the final special divine ability, it was also the direction that Lu Yuan wanted to cultivate.
As he cultivated more divine abilities, Lu Yuan grasped more and more special divine abilities.
Among these special divine abilities, there were some that he often used. For example, the fire attribute divine ability, Bi Fang Green Flame.
This was one of Lu Yuan’s most frequently used divine abilities.
The other was the divine ability he had obtained from Meng Ruyan, the Extreme Purple Heavenly Lightning.
As Lu Yuan absorbed the heavenly thunder when he broke through to the Core Formation Stage, his Extreme Purple Heavenly Lightning contained the power of nine attributes of the power of the heavens.
This also allowed his Extreme Purple Heavenly Lightning to evolve to a degree that even Lu Yuan was a little shocked.
This was because the special divine abilities he had previously cultivated could actually be fused into the new Extreme Purple Heavenly Lightning.
And this new Extreme Purple Heavenly Lightning was called the ‘Nine Heavens Heavenly Thunder’ by Lu Yuan.
[Nine Heavens Heavenly Thunder]
[Grade: Level 1 Nascent Soul Stage]
[Effect: The Nine Heavens Heavenly Thunder, a fusion of nine types of power of the heavens, limitless possibilities. The power of the heavenly thunder varies according to the level of power]
Nine Heavens Heavenly Thunder was the only skill that Lu Yuan could not increase through proficiency.
This was because this skill had nothing to do with practice. Its power depended on the power of the fused special divine ability.
Therefore, in a sense, the power of this divine ability… was limitless!
Of course, although there was no way to improve the Nine Heavens Heavenly Thunder through cultivation, he could increase its power by increasing the proficiency of other special divine abilities.
This was also the fundamental reason why Lu Yuan had to work hard to learn many special divine abilities.
Everything was for the sake of the Nine Heavens Heavenly Thunder.
Moreover, the combined power of the Nine Heavens Heavenly Thunder was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
However, this did not mean that Lu Yuan had to use the nine types of power of the heavens when he used the Nine Heavens Heavenly Thunder.
He could also choose to use a specific type of heavenly thunder according to the situation.
For example, he could choose to only use heavenly thunder that contained the fire attribute.
Therefore, Lu Yuan’s current cultivation direction was basically confirmed.
Wind-type heavenly thunder to be used to increase his speed.
Earth and metal-type heavenly thunder to increase his defence ability.
It could be said that if Lu Yuan had chosen to use the Nine Heavens Heavenly Thunder to deal with Xu Ziyu and Xu Zile, then it would not have been as simple as them being unconscious for a few days.
The improvement of his cultivation, the cultivation of divine ability, and the method to go to the Upper Realm in the future. After deciding on these, Lu Yuan’s days fall into a routine.
The eSports competition which lasted for half a month ended with Patriarch Qinghong’s team winning the championship.
The reward for being the champion was exclusive skin in the game.
Do not belittle the reward. A person like patriarch Qing Hong did not lack cultivation resources. Although Lu Yuan could provide something the patriarch wanted, he was not someone who would take out resources for nothing.
Creating a custom skin, which is similar to reality, was obviously much better than other things.
In the end, Patriarch Qing Hong and the others were very satisfied with this reward.
It was worth mentioning that this eSports competition was broadcasted live on the Internet.
Basically, one out of every three cultivators with a spiritual energy phone was watching this competition.
This also indirectly increased the attention of cultivators to the Glory of Immortal Hero game.
Compared to using an ordinary phone use, this method of playing games would undoubtedly increase the consumption of spiritual energy on the phone, allowing Lu Yuan to absorb more spiritual energy.
Lu Yuan could only absorb a small portion of the spiritual energy from the ‘Spiritual Energy Gathering Bell’ every time. Otherwise, it would affect the operation of the game.
But even so, the spiritual energy he could harvest was still very shocking.
Coupled with the help of various spiritual stones, Lu Yuan was able to maintain such an astonishing cultivation speed in the lower realm.
In a sense, the ‘Spiritual Energy Gathering Bell’ that Lu Yuan forged was actually a special kind of national divine artifact.
It was similar to the Great Xia Kingdom’s national divine sword that the great ancestor of the Great Xia Kingdom used.
As long as it was in the lower realm, the Spiritual Energy Gathering Bell could have the effect of a middle-grade true magic item even if it did not have an artifact spirit.
However, once he left the lower realm, the effect of the Spiritual Energy Gathering Bell would not be so great.
Unless Lu Yuan could develop enough phone users in the Upper Realm.
This was also the reason why Lu Yuan wanted to do business with Xu Zile and the others.
Although he was very envious of the resources in the Upper Realm, Lu Yuan was also very interested in developing more phone users in the Upper Realm.
Through the battle with Xu Ziyu and Xu Zile, Lu Yuan had already roughly deduced his own strength.
In the Nascent Soul Stage, the divine ability of ordinary Nascent Soul Stage cultivators was not necessarily as powerful as his, who had the power of the ninth type of power of the heavens.
The biggest difference between him and other Nascent Soul cultivators was in his spiritual energy.
However, the existence of the Spiritual Energy Gathering Bell could make it up for Lu Yuan.
In other words, as long as the conditions allowed, Lu Yuan felt that with the help of the Spiritual Energy Gathering Bell, he should be able to fight ten ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
This made Lu Yuan even more confident.
Lu Yuan felt that he was almost fully developed now.
As long as he was on Black Jade Peak, he was basically an invincible existence.
However, he was not satisfied with this.
As mentioned before, Lu Yuan was not only interested in the resources of the Upper Realm, but he was also interested in another world.
This world was the reincarnation realm represented by the underworld.
Previously, Lu Yuan had not extended his hand into the reincarnation realm because he felt that his strength was not enough.
But now, Lu Yuan felt that his strength was almost there.
Moreover, he wanted to verify if he could break through to the Nascent Soul Stage in the reincarnation realm.
If it was possible, he would have a place to go for his future breakthroughs. He did not have to worry about being discovered by the Upper Realm.
Therefore, Lu Yuan was prepared to probe the reincarnation realm during his normal cultivation.
As for the method to enter the reincarnation realm, Lu Yuan had also exchanged for it from one of the five ghosts he had encountered at the gates of hell, the Eastern Money-making Ghost.
The method to enter the reincarnation realm was not difficult. One only needed to fulfil two conditions.
The first was to have a reincarnation realm underworld certificate, which was also something similar to an identity card.
The other was that only the divine soul body could enter.
Lu Yuan’s clone was essentially a divine soul body.
Therefore, Lu Yuan could totally send his clone to the underworld.
However, Lu Yuan did not know the exact situation in the underworld.
Lu Yuan looked at the green token in his hand and quickly made a decision.
It was related to the choice of his breakthrough location, so he had to go and see what the situation was like in the underworld.
Although he couldn’t borrow the infinite spiritual energy of the Spiritual Energy Gathering Bell in the underworld, he could rely on the Four Symbols Sword, the Wailing Staff, the Soul Reaper Rope, and the Nine Heavens Heavenly Thunder, which were methods that specialized in suppressing the divine soul.
Lu Yuan felt that if ordinary Nascent Soul ghost cultivators encountered him, they would most likely not be able to gain any advantage.
How could Lu Yuan send his clone to the reincarnation realm without being fully prepared?
This time, the clone only had two missions.
One was to determine whether the reincarnation realm could satisfy the conditions for him to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.
The other was to see if he could develop his own spiritual energy phone in the underworld.
If it was possible, this would be a great piece of good news for Lu Yuan.
In a sense, the reincarnation realm was a mirror world of the world of living.
Even in the Upper Realm and the reincarnation realm also has a corresponding existence.
This meant that Lu Yuan could borrow the power he had developed in the reincarnation realm when necessary.
This was a stable method.
He would never put all his eggs in one basket!
