Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 442 - : Hidden Cultivation (Part 2)

Chapter 442: Chapter 442: Hidden Cultivation (Part 2)

The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder has a remarkable origin.

This Thunder Magic was passed down from an ancient Immortal Sect and was discovered by disciples of the West Sea Sect while exploring the Nine Dragons Land Palace. It is divided into three parts, upper, middle, and lower, corresponding to the three great realms of Purple Mansion, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul.

The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder is extremely rigid and positive, belonging to the pure Yang Thunder Magic, and is limited to male cultivators’ practice. Moreover, its vast depth makes it exceedingly difficult to master.

After obtaining the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, the West Sea Sect did not list it among the Sect’s true Dharma Techniques. Thus, Wang Chen was able to acquire it in the Scripture Pavilion. Otherwise, with his current status, he would not have been able to access such a superior spell.

This is actually a reflection of the magnanimity of the Mountain and Sea Realm’s number one Immortal Gate. If it were any other medium or small Sect, the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Technique would definitely be a closely guarded secret, taught only to the Sect Leader’s direct lineage.

Wang Chen chose this spell because the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, like the Five Suns Qian Thunder, is a pure Yang Thunder Magic; the two are of the same lineage. Having mastered the Five Suns Qian Thunder to Great Perfection, Wang Chen believed his cultivation of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder would advance with twice the result for half the effort.

Moreover, the power of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder is unmatched, making it a formidable spell that perfectly met Wang Chen’s needs.

However, with his Root Bone and Comprehension, trying to understand this superior Thunder Magic was undoubtedly a bit of a stretch for him.

Luckily, Wang Chen had another reward.

That was three days of meditation in the Ancestral Master Hall!

The Ancestral Master Hall is situated at Mount Taiqing.

Mount Taiqing is the primary peak of the West Sea and is also the peak of the Taiqing Vein, one of the top three veins of the West Sea Sect.

As an Inner Sect Disciple, Wang Chen would not normally have the privilege to ascend Mount Taiqing, but with the Ancestral Master Order bestowed by the Sect Affairs Department, he cleared all hurdles and reached the summit of Mount Taiqing directly.

Mount Taiqing, rising three thousand Zhang tall, is like a sharp sword standing above the great island; its upper half is shrouded in mist throughout the year, concealing its true face, with the Ancestral Master’s Great Hall built atop its summit.

The annual Ancestral Worship Ceremony of the West Sea Sect is held here.

It is said that a Nascent Soul True Immortal guards Mount Taiqing, so Wang Chen was extremely cautious on his way up.

Luckily, his ascent was smooth, and he encountered no obstacles.

After submitting the Ancestral Master Order, Wang Chen entered the Ancestral Master Hall.

He was not alone.

There were five other Inner Sect Disciples who entered the Ancestral Master Hall with him, and all of them were True Disciples.

These True Disciples were surprised to see the Identity Plaque hanging at Wang Chen’s waist.

Normally, only Vein-entered Disciples could meditate in the Ancestral Master Hall, and True Disciples were mostly in the majority.

It was truly rare for an entry-level disciple!

What merits did Wang Chen have to be allowed to enter the Ancestral Master Hall with them?

However, surprised as they were, no one went out of their way to trouble Wang Chen—no True Disciple was foolish.

The Ancestral Master Hall of the West Sea Sect, located in the back hall, is vast in scale and astonishingly constructed. The majestic hall houses hundreds upon even thousands of Soul Tablets of the ancestors, accompanied by myriad ever-lit lamps.

The moment Wang Chen stepped into the Ancestral Master Hall, he felt as though he had entered a sea of stars.

It was an extremely shocking sensation.

Moreover, the atmosphere within the Ancestral Master Hall was extremely solemn, exerting an intangible pressure and deterrence on the disciples who entered.

It was as if the eyes of all the departed high-ranking predecessors of the West Sea Sect were watching them.

Disciples with weaker willpower might just collapse on the spot!

Wang Chen too was severely shaken when he first entered.

But he quickly adapted, and chose a cushion to sit down in the hall.

By comparison, two of the True Disciples who entered with him seemed to struggle a bit, and actually broke out in sweat on their foreheads.

Time was precious, and Wang Chen did not wish to waste a single moment.

He ignored the True Disciples and deliberately chose a corner spot to meditate.

With his eyes closed, Wang Chen chanted a prayer.

“Exalted Ancestors of the West Sea Sect above, disciple Wang Chen sincerely seeks guidance…”

Wang Chen did not know the intricacies of reciting the prayers, or indeed if they had any real effect.

But this is the process of attempting enlightenment in the Ancestral Master Hall, with the belief that sincerity leads to spiritual connection.

The status of the Ancestral Master Hall within the West Sea Sect is extremely high. Despite Wang Chen’s relatively short time in the sect, he had heard of it.

After receiving the reward of enlightenment in the hall, he made a point to learn more about it.

It is said that the Ancestral Master Hall houses the true souls of the sect’s forefathers, and it can even connect to the ascended Power Men of the Immortal Gates in the Upper Realm.

Enlightenment here could possibly result in guidance from true souls or even Power Men!

Of course, the likelihood of the latter occurring is very low.

What’s most important is that entering the Ancestral Master Hall for enlightenment does not guarantee any insight.

That depends on one’s own opportunity.

Regardless, such an opportunity is extremely precious, and ordinary disciples, unless they possess a great number of Merit Points, should not even think of setting foot in the Ancestral Master Hall.

After reciting the prayer, Wang Chen began to comprehend the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Technique.

He had not yet mastered this Thunder Magic, and he had felt its difficulty when he previously attempted to understand it, so he decided to use the Ancestral Master Hall to achieve a breakthrough.

The moment he sparked the Spiritual Light Law Seed, three thousand seven hundred and sixty-six True Characters of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder’s Purple Mansion chapters vividly appeared in his Sea of Consciousness, arranging themselves into chapters, shining brightly like stars.

Each True Character contained its corresponding Dharma Technique, and one could imagine the immense difficulty in comprehending all three thousand seven hundred and sixty-six True Characters!

This spell was indeed very discouraging.

If Wang Chen’s Root Bone and Comprehension had not been enhanced, then even with the aid of an ancestral master, comprehending the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Technique would be as impossible for him as a mortal ascending to heaven—there was virtually no chance of success.

Even now, his Comprehension was struggling.

But Wang Chen, neither arrogant nor impatient, calmed his mind and began to ponder over the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder’s Purple Mansion chapters word by word.

At the same time, he compared it with the Five Suns Qian Thunder he already possessed.

Time ticked by, and Wang Chen completely lost himself in the depths of comprehension, wholeheartedly immersed.

Suddenly, his heart stirred, and he abruptly opened his eyes.

Wang Chen was astonished to discover that he was now at the peak of an unfenced mountain.

The mist churned around him, and dark clouds pressed down from above.

Before him, a gaunt figure in black robes with a fierce countenance sat cross-legged, his eyes radiating an intense light.

The Golden Core True Person!

Wang Chen’s hair stood on end, as if a blade were pressed against his throat, and the idea of flight involuntarily sprang to mind.

The other’s aura was simply too fierce.

And domineering!

Yet Wang Chen forcibly suppressed the impulse in his heart and bowed down, saying, “Please bestow your guidance, senior!”

Despite the scene before him appearing so real that it was impossible to tell illusion from reality, he remained composed, understanding that what he saw was the true soul of a former teacher.

This was Wang Chen’s chance.

If he reacted with fear or confusion, he feared the opportunity at hand would slip away, and he would waste this precious chance!

Sure enough, the black-robed elder nodded and said in a raspy voice, “Watch closely.”

The elder formed a spell with his hand but made no noticeable movements; suddenly, a beam of lightning as thick as a bucket came crashing down from the sky, striking only ten paces away from where the two of them stood.

The next moment, more lightning tore through the dark clouds and plummeted down.

Wang Chen felt like a small boat in a raging sea, at risk of capsizing and destruction at any moment.

But he guarded his spirit steadfastly, focusing intently on comprehending the true essence of Thunder Magic.
