The Strongest Mythical Emperor-Chapter 23 - Xuanling Sect Shocked

23: Chapter 23 Xuanling Sect Shocked

23 -23 Xuanling Sect Shocked

The 36 Heavenly Transformations are based on the Heavenly Stems!

The 72 Earthly Transformations are based on the Earthly Branches!

The 36 Heavenly Transformations are not just about changing forms, they include 36 Divine Powers!

They are respectively: controlling creation, reversing yin and yang, moving stars and changing constellations, reversing time, summoning rain and winds, shaking mountains and lands, Riding Clouds, turning rivers into roads, Golden Light on the Ground, stirring seas and rivers, Finger-to-steel, Great Escape of the Five Elements, The Six Jia Qi Men, foreseeing the future, moving mountains with a whip, Reviving the Dead, flying and leaving trails, nine breaths of compliance, drawing out Yang essence, Taming Dragon and subduing tigers, repairing heaven and bathing in the sun, pushing mountains and filling seas, turning stones into gold, standing without a shadow, transforming the fetus and changing form, shrinking and enlarging at will, blooming in an instant, roaming with divine control, seeing through walls, returning wind and fire, commanding the five thunders, shrinking spaces, flying sands and rolling rocks, carrying mountains and crossing seas, beans turning into soldiers, seven arrows with nailed heads.

Each Divine Power is vast and profound, to fully master any would truly make one a deity!

In “Journey to the West,” Heavenly Marshal Tianpeng was a high official of heaven who controlled a hundred thousand celestial soldiers and generals, a great power among immortals!

However, after committing an offense against the Heavenly Dao, he was demoted to a pig and his power greatly reduced—at least, Qin Jun did not believe that Zhu Bajie from “Journey to the West” had the capability to control a hundred thousand celestial soldiers and generals.

Whenever he encountered a monster, it would easily capture him.

In Qin Jun’s view, either he was hiding his true power, or becoming a pig greatly reduced his strength.

Fortunately, the system had drawn the 36 Heavenly Transformations of Heavenly Marshal Tianpeng for him.

If it had been Zhu Bajie’s power, Qin Jun would have cried to death.

Boom—

Under the night sky, clusters of thunderclouds gathered over the Xuanling Sect, and lightning, like dragons and pythons, shattered the clouds and swooped down, startling all the disciples into opening their eyes and abandoning their cultivation.

Within a palace of the Xuanling Sect, Chang Qianqian, who was sharing her experiences outside with her father, jumped up from her seat, and even Chang Hao shuddered in fright.

The thunder just now was truly terrifying!

“What’s going on?”

Chang Qianqian’s father, Chang Tianyou, suddenly rose to his feet.

Dressed in a white robe, he might not have a broad figure, but he radiated a Mount Tai-like steadfastness.

The occasional streaks of silver in his hair added to his mature charm.

“Why is there a thunderstorm all of a sudden?” Chang Hao asked with a frown.

The Xuanling Sect was protected by an array and shouldn’t experience any lightning strikes for decades.

Unless someone inside the Xuanling Sect was crossing tribulation!

What is crossing tribulation?

Practicing energy refining is in defiance of the Heavenly Dao, and when cultivators have a breakthrough, the heavens will launch a tribulation to try and stop them.

Those who survive it will be acknowledged by the Heavenly Dao.

From the Golden Elixir Realm onwards, every major breakthrough will attract a heavenly tribulation!

There were no more than ten Golden Elixir Realm experts within the Xuanling Sect.

Could it be that another core disciple had broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm?

Chang Tianyou immediately became excited.

He hurriedly walked out of the palace, with Chang Qianqian and Chang Hao quickly following behind him.

It wasn’t just them who thought so; all the sect disciples speculated the same.

“Someone is actually breaking through to the Golden Elixir Realm!”

“Who could it be? ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Senior Sister Zhong or Senior Brother Zhuo?”

“It must be Zhuo Junjie!”

“Senior Brother Zhuo has been stuck at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm for a year or two now; it seems he’s going to break through in one fell swoop this time!”

“Goodness, this heavenly tribulation is even more terrifying than Elder Li’s breakthrough decades ago!”

The thunderclouds looming over the Xuanling Sect churned continuously, with terrifying bolts of lightning crisscrossing and unleashing an apocalyptic terror that instilled fear in all Xuanling Sect disciples.

In the face of such a tribulation, the Xuanling Sect seemed as if it could be obliterated at any moment.

“Quick, get someone to activate the array!”

Chang Tianyou’s complexion dramatically changed as he shouted.

The elders emerging from an adjacent tower quickly flew towards the peak.

Qin Jun was unaware that the Divine Power of the 36 Heavenly Transformations he had drawn had caused such a commotion in the Xuanling Sect, but fortunately, the Sect’s array would shield him from the heavenly tribulation!

Divine Powers are different from cultivation methods or spells.

With the word “divine” attached to them, one can imagine their strength.

The Heavenly Dao does not allow them to grow easily.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard where Qin Jun was staying, Daji and Roaring Sky Dog stood in front of Qin Jun’s guest room, silent and speechless.

“Young Master is perceiving Divine Powers…”

After a long while, Roaring Sky Dog was the first to break the pervading silence, its voice trembling slightly.

Qin Jun, only sixteen this year, with the cultivation of the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, was actually able to perceive Divine Powers!

For the Roaring Sky Dog, who had lived for an indeterminable number of years, this was simply an inconceivable event!

Daji frowned and said, “Moreover, it’s not just any ordinary Divine Power!”

She could feel an aura emanating from Qin Jun’s room that even made her, an adept of the Transforming Void Realm, feel apprehensive.

The 36 Heavenly Transformations was, even in ‘Journey to the West,’ one of the few great Divine Powers, mastered only by the mighty deities of the heavens and earth, such as Heavenly Marshal Tianpeng and Ancestral Patriarch Bodhi.

…

All thirty-six Divine Powers were completely ingrained into Qin Jun’s mind.

Although he had learned them, his low cultivation meant that he could, at most, continuously use two Divine Powers before his spiritual energy was depleted, and the ones he could use would not be earth-shatteringly powerful.

Indeed, the foundation of one’s cultivation is the most important!

Qin Jun slowly opened his eyes, and two beams of sharp light shot out, startling in the pitch-black room.

Boom—boom—boom—

Outside, the sound of thunder rolled, but it didn’t scare him; he just felt a little puzzled.

Why had it suddenly started to thunder?

Little did he know, the entire Xuanling Sect was harried by the heavenly tribulation he had attracted.

“System, continue with the random skill inheritance!”

Qin Jun thought silently in his heart.

Sensing Daji and Roaring Sky Dog standing outside the door, he felt reassured with their protection.

What he needed most now were cultivation methods.

The Energy Refining Mnemonic was an Earth Grade, medium-level cultivation method, equivalent to common merchandise.

Despite his ability to level up by defeating monsters and completing quests, he still needed a cultivation method.

The spiritual energy cultivated from a method was extremely important for a cultivator.

For instance, a cultivator of the same fifth stage of Foundation Establishment who mastered a Spiritual-grade technique would have several times, or even ten times more spiritual energy than Qin Jun, not to mention the difference in the quality of spiritual energy.

If spiritual energy cultivated from an Earth Grade cultivation method was like a wooden sword, then the one from a Spiritual Grade would be like an iron sword!

Not to mention the Earth Grade and Heavenly Grade techniques!

As for grades above those, Qin Jun had only heard the system mention them; there was no such record within the Qianyue Kingdom.

“Ding!

Beginning random skill inheritance!”

It has to be a cultivation method!

A cultivation method!

And ideally a super cultivation method above the Heavenly Grade!

“Ding!

Congratulations to the host for obtaining the ‘Purple Rainbow Thunder Technique’ from an unknown character, a top-quality Heavenly Grade technique!”

An unknown character?

Does it mean a bit part…

Qin Jun’s mouth twitched, but a top-quality Heavenly Grade technique wasn’t bad at all, at least a hundred times more powerful than the Energy Refining Mnemonic!

As he was lost in his wild thoughts, the inherited memories of the ‘Purple Rainbow Thunder Technique’ surged into his mind, causing much less discomfort than the 36 Heavenly Transformations.

But his consciousness still plunged into blankness, leaving him unguarded against everything around him.

If someone were to launch a surprise attack on him now, it would surely be successful.

Fortunately, Daji and Roaring Sky Dog were standing guard outside.

Meanwhile, the heavenly tribulation brought about by the 36 Heavenly Transformations began to assert its dominance.

Electric dragons carrying apocalyptic might descended, and the Xuanling Sect’s Sect-protecting Array was instantly activated.

A faint blue light shield enveloped the mountains, and as the lightning struck the array’s barrier, it sparked ripples, like stones thrown into a lake.
