From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 153: Gui Water Divine Thunder

The Dragon Flame Eagle spread its wings, flames blazing mightily as if they could obscure the sun and the sky.

It vigorously flapped its wings, carrying its master on its back, piercing through the heavenly vault in an instant, swiftly passing over islands.

Li Quanqing specifically instructed it to fly lower, almost skimming the surface of the sea, preparing to cultivate Divine Thunder.

The sea was vast and boundless, like a blue mirror, reflecting the blurred figure of the Spiritual Sculpture.

"Step one in cultivating Thunder Skill: refine seawater, condense Gui Water Essence..."

This seemingly simple step contained endless mysteries.

Li Quanqing extended his hand, and a large expanse of seawater surged tumultuously towards him, turning into a swirling mass of water in his palm.

The water mass tumbled continuously, refracting gleaming gloss under the sunlight.

Buzzing!

The youth’s fingers flicked continuously, as if he had practiced thousands of times before, refining strands of Gui Water Essence.

From a cartwheel-sized mass of seawater, only a hair-thin strand of Gui Water Essence was finally condensed.

Li Quanqing concentrated deeply, controlling his mana to resonate in a special manner, gently rubbing his fingers.

Crackling!

At the next moment, lightning exploded, turning into a very fine strand of water-blue electricity, twining around his fingertips.

Success!

Li Quanqing couldn’t help but laugh heartily, feeling extremely exhilarated. freewёbnoνel.com

Thunder Skill was inherently difficult to cultivate, but at this moment, it was surprisingly straightforward and forceful, achieved in one go.

"Cheating sure is thrilling!"

The youth thought of Ice Soul Cold Light, another top-grade Spirit Art, which had a difficult cultivation process. Had it ever been as easy as at this moment?

Indeed, without cheating, how could I ever become an immortal!

Those who turn from mortals to immortals are all cheaters!

Li Quanqing flicked his finger, and the strand of Gui Water Divine Thunder flew out, tracing a vibrant blue trajectory in the air.

The lightning dove into the distant seawater, instantly causing a violent surge of Spiritual Energy, exploding the surface of the sea with a deafening sound.

The thunder roared incessantly, the immense energy spreading outward from the point of explosion, splashing lightning and lifting a giant wave several meters high.

The power of the Gui Water Divine Thunder was unparalleled; where the lightning reached, it fiercely churned the sea, triggering terrifying waves that swept in all directions.

It was daunting to behold.

Li Quanqing nodded in satisfaction, then looked up and saw a series of islands spread out like an ancient scroll slowly unfolding before his eyes.

Green Jade Islands, reached.

...

Scripture Pavilion.

Three thousand stone steps ascended alongside the mountain, the rough stone surfaces covered in fine moss.

The atmosphere around was ancient and quiet, a scent of sandalwood in the air was faint yet lingering, repelling insects.

Li Quanqing climbed the stairs, his footsteps echoing far and wide through the mountain forest.

At the top, he saw two mottled stone turtles guarding the place, ancient and imposing.

"Greetings to the Supreme Elder."

Scripture Pavilion Elder Li Zongzhuo stood there, currently bowing in respect, resembling a withering pine tree with a face carved by the years.

"You flatter me too much, it’s undeserved!"

Li Quanqing quickly helped the elder up, the family’s last surviving elder of the "Zong" generation, belonging to the same generation as the Clan Leader.

Even though he had reached Foundation Establishment, he was much junior in terms of generation.

Li Zongzhuo was precise and strict, very ritualistic in his actions: "Elder Quanqing, it’s been a long time since you visited. What brings you here? The Jade Scrolls here are merely for display; the most valuable Spirit Arts are kept with the Clan Leader."

"I’ve recently acquired a Second Rank Array inheritance and thought to bring it to the Scripture Pavilion to enrich our family’s legacy."

Li Quanqing spoke, taking out that oddly shaped Jade Scroll.

Li Zongzhuo extended his hand, covered in dry skin, grabbed the Jade Scroll, and carefully examined it against his forehead.

After a long while, he finally opened his eyes and sighed softly, a gleam of wisdom flashing in his gaze: "Indeed, it is a Second Rank Array Dao inheritance, truly profound and vast―a lifetime might not be enough to fully grasp it!"

Li Quanqing felt a movement in his heart: "Are you an Array Master as well?"

"Barely managing, I’ve reached the threshold of a Second Rank Array Dao Master, mostly handling regular maintenance and repair of the Guardian Clan Formation for the family."

Li Zongzhuo handed over the Jade Scroll and turned toward the Scripture Pavilion: "Unfortunately, I am not a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, my lifespan is limited, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak."

Li Quanqing looked at the spots on the old man’s body and felt a surge of sorrow within his heart.

Generation after generation of the Li Family had indeed seen many talented individuals, but unfortunately, they were held back due to lack of resources, lacking Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects and Foundation Establishment Pills.

This has led them to waste their lives and die with regrets.

"Is Elder Quanqing also interested in array formations?"

"I prefer setting up personal arrays to suppress enemies, so I’ve studied them for some time―just a superficial knowledge."

Li Quanqing frankly admitted, the Puppet array setting was indeed very useful.

Li Zongzhuo nodded slightly and though he briefly asked a few questions, Li Quanqing answered them all correctly.

"The foundation is solid, it’s evident you have put in the effort. Unfortunately, your talent in Array Dao can only be considered mediocre."

Li Quanqing’s expression became slightly awkward. Is his talent really that poor?

"However, as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with Divine Sense to aid you, comprehending the Hundred Arts of Cultivation would be much easier compared to Qi Refining cultivators."

"As long as you put in the effort and have the patience, slowly working on Array Devices and Pill Symbols, you can eventually reach the Second Rank."

Li Zongzhuo took out an ancient Jade Scroll, rubbing it until it was extremely smooth: "This is the sum of many years of my insights on setting arrays, I’ll gift it to Elder Quanqing. If there are aspects you don’t understand, feel free to ask me anytime."

The old man paused, then added: "While I’m still alive."

Li Quanqing instantly became serious and respectfully took the Jade Scroll.

As they entered the Scripture Pavilion, they unexpectedly encountered someone, her long dress flowing like a blooming white lotus, her aura pure and transcendent.

It was the long-unseen Li Quanyi, who was also Li Quangeng’s fiancée.

"Qi Refinement Eighth Level, on the verge of breakthrough, fairly quick..."

Li Quanqing could see through her cultivation level at a glance; definitely not comparable to his, but respectable nonetheless.

She has the makings of Foundation Establishment.

"Greetings Master, greetings to Elder Quanqing of Supreme Elder."

Li Quanyi gracefully bowed, her gaze calm and her temperament as cold as ever.

"This is my newly accepted disciple, staying in the Scripture Pavilion to manage these Cultivation Technique Jade Scrolls."

Li Zongzhuo explained.

Li Quanqing was somewhat surprised; he remembered the girl was previously an Alchemist.

When did she begin practicing Array Dao?

With the help of Li Quanqing’s Foundation Establishment Divine Sense, Li Zongzhuo successfully duplicated a Jade Scroll, leaving one at the topmost level of the Scripture Pavilion.

Li Quanqing wasn’t idle either, he took some of the foundational Jade Scrolls about arrays intending to study them thoroughly.

"Elder, I plan to cultivate the family heritage Gui Water Divine Thunder, but where should I go to obtain the inheritance?"

Li Quanqing asked, although he had already mastered this high-grade wonderful method.

But he still needed to go through formal and proper channels.

Li Zongzhuo pondered for a moment: "The Clan Leader has the original, but I recommend you visit Li Kunlun the Supreme Elder at Jade Dragon Pond, the only Foundation Establishment Cultivator in our family who masters this technique, he might be able to help you."

Upon hearing this, Li Quanqing immediately nodded in agreement and left the Scripture Pavilion heading towards Jade Dragon Pond.

Li Quanyi watched the youth’s distant, misty figure as he walked through the air, a hint of envy inevitably flashing in her eyes.

Foundation Establishment, truly wonderful and enviable.

"Don’t envy him. Once you achieve Great Success in your array techniques, integrate arrays into your body, and with the aid of Spiritual Objects, the effects won’t be inferior to consuming a Foundation Establishment Pill..."

"This is an Ancient Array Cultivator’s method, unfortunately, it has declined..."

A cold, slightly mechanical voice slowly echoed from the depths of Li Quanyi’s heart.

She nodded slightly, finally withdrawing her gaze.

Everyone has their own path to walk.
