Shi Hao said seriously, "I think the old master Lu's rejuvenation technique, as well as your Golden Light Mantra and Five Thunder Orthodox Method, are all quite mysterious. They seem to be different from the methods I have learned, yet they can also corroborate each other."
"Therefore, I would like to borrow Master Lu's 'Triple Rebirth' manual, as well as some classic Taoist texts collected by the Celestial Master's Mansion. Is that alright?"
Borrowing "Triple Rebirth" and the Taoist Canon of the Celestial Master's Mansion?!
This is a closely guarded secret of the Lu family and the Celestial Master's Mansion!
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin's brows immediately furrowed, and she was about to refuse.
The old master raised his hand to stop him, and gave Shi Hao a deep look.
The power that Shi Hao just displayed was beyond his comprehension; it was not a power that should exist in the "human world"!
Such a person's path of cultivation has probably already transcended the boundaries of their world.
Moreover, forming a good relationship with such a person with boundless potential and unpredictable strength is far more important than guarding a few secret manuals!
"Hehe, Daoist scriptures are meant for people to study and comprehend. Since young friend Shi Hao is interested, there's nothing wrong with it." The old Celestial Master agreed with a smile. "The 'Triple Rebirth'... Old Lu, what do you think?"
Seeing that the old master had agreed, Lu Jin knew there was no point in objecting further. Moreover, he was genuinely curious about the power Shi Hao had just displayed, so he could only hum in agreement.
"Thank you, Master Celestial, thank you, Master Lu!" Shi Hao said with a smile upon seeing this.
He then added, "Of course, I can't just look at your stuff for nothing. This... consider it a small token of my appreciation."
As he spoke, he took out a relatively ordinary treasure technique inheritance from the system space, as well as a large piece of ferocious beast flesh that still exuded rich blood and energy!
"This is a cultivation method from our area, along with some ferocious beast flesh and blood. We hope it will be of some help to you." Shi Hao handed it over.
However, when the old master and Lu Jin took the piece of the ferocious beast's flesh and examined it briefly, their expressions changed instantly!
The power contained in this piece of ferocious beast's flesh is terrifying.
They had a feeling that if they were afraid of being refined after eating it, they could definitely be reborn!
As for that precious technique inheritance, it is even more profound, representing a completely different cultivation system.
The old master and Lu Jin exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
However, despite their shock, the two naturally wouldn't refuse this "generous gift."
"Thank you so much for your generous gift, young friend Shi Hao!" The old master solemnly put the items away.
……
For the next few days, Shi Hao stayed temporarily in the back mountain of Longhu Mountain, where the Old Celestial Master personally arranged a quiet room for him to begin his study and comprehension of the knowledge of this world.
He first carefully studied the original version of "Rebirth Triple" provided by Lu Jin.
This technique is indeed unique, especially its approach of stimulating human potential and reversing life forms, which allowed him to draw inferences from other cases and gain new insights into the control of his own body and the use of energy.
He seemed to see invisible energy threads weaving and recombining within his body, simulating the wondrous process of rejuvenation. Although he couldn't completely replicate it, he absorbed a great deal of its essence.
Afterwards, he immersed himself in the vast collection of classic Taoist texts at the Celestial Master's Mansion.
From basic breathing and guiding techniques to advanced talisman and array formations, and philosophical speculations about "primordial Qi" and the principles of heaven and earth... these knowledge systems, though completely different from the rune system of the Perfect World, are self-contained, profound and extensive.
Like a hungry apprentice, Shi Hao frantically absorbed the wisdom of these other worlds, constantly verifying, colliding, and merging it with his own understanding.
His character was also tempered and refined in this subtle process.
Of course, what he was most interested in was the Celestial Master's Mansion's "Five Thunder Orthodox Method"!
When he obtained the original text of this supreme Taoist thunder magic, he immediately became immersed in it!
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, and Thunder (one of the Five Elements)!
The interplay of Yin and Yang, the generating, restraining, and transforming relationships! Acting on behalf of Heaven to punish, with a majestic divine power!
This thunder technique, along with the more primitive, domineering, and destructive Suanni Treasure Technique he possessed, followed two completely different paths!
Yet, in some fundamental aspects, they are subtly connected!
"The destruction of the Suanni Lord, the order of the Five Thunder Palms... If the two could be combined..."
A bold idea rose in Shi Hao's mind!
He recalled the legendary, forbidden being of the Perfect World—the Thunder Emperor, who wielded supreme thunder and commanded all lightning! And the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique, hailed as the ultimate guide to all ancient thunder arts!
"Perhaps... I can use the Suanni Treasure Technique as a foundation, draw on the essence of the Five Thunder Orthodox Method, and combine it with other thunder mysteries I know to deduce the true Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique?!"
Once the idea took hold, it could not be stopped!
Shi Hao immediately communicated with the chat group: "System, activate the Enlightenment function! Assist in deducing the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique!"
[Ding! Enlightenment function activated! Current assisted deduction target: Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique!]
[Relevant materials detected: Suanni Treasure Technique (complete), Five Thunder Orthodox Method (complete), Vermilion Bird/True Phoenix Treasure Technique (partially related to thunder and fire), Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art (partially resonates with laws)... Sufficient materials, begin deduction!]
boom!
Shi Hao's consciousness instantly entered a wondrous state!
In his spiritual world, countless runes, laws, and mysteries related to thunder are colliding, evolving, and recombining wildly!
The domineering destruction of the Suanni! The magnificent order of the Five Thunders!
Destructive lightning flames born from the ashes of the Vermilion Bird True Phoenix!
The divine lightning of judgment involved in the Six Paths of Reincarnation!
Even his own unparalleled blood and qi power that broke through the limits!
All insights, all knowledge, and all power, aided by the Enlightenment ability, converged like rivers flowing into the sea, heading towards a common goal—the legendary Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique!
This is an incredibly difficult and massive undertaking!
Shi Hao felt his mental energy being consumed at an unprecedented rate, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter!
Because, amidst that endless storm of thunderous runes, he seemed to see a blurry figure standing at the center of the thunder, overlooking the heavens and the earth, wielding supreme power over the thunder!
Thunder Emperor!
Although it was still blurry and still far away, he knew that he... had found the right direction!
As long as he continues down this path, one day he will be able to truly recreate that awe-inspiring Thunder Emperor Technique!
Chapter Thirty-Five: Sweeping Through the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, the Origin of the World!
In a cave on the back of Longhu Mountain, Shi Hao slowly opened his eyes.
In the depths of his eyes, it seemed as if countless thunder runes were being born, dying, and evolving, before finally returning to calm, leaving only a clear gaze that was deeper and brighter than ever before.
After several days of secluded meditation, with the help of the chat group's magical "enlightenment function," he not only gained an extremely profound understanding of the Celestial Master's Mansion's "Five Thunder Orthodox Method," but also, based on his own mastery of the "Suanni Treasure Technique," he integrated some of the Vermilion Bird and True Phoenix's flame mysteries, as well as some resonance with the laws of the "Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Technique," and forcibly deduced a trace of the legendary "Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique"!
Although it is only a rudimentary form and still far from the true Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique, the supreme principles of the Great Dao of Thunder contained within it have already significantly enhanced his combat power! In particular, his control over the power of thunder has reached a whole new level!
"The Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique... truly worthy of being one of the Ten Fiends' supreme treasure techniques." Shi Hao felt the incomparably profound thunder magic in his mind, his heart filled with shock and satisfaction.
This team-building activity in the world of Under One Person was incredibly rewarding! Not only did we witness the Dao and techniques of two unparalleled masters, the Celestial Master and Lu Jin, and learn from the essence of the Reverse Rebirth Triple Technique and the Daoist Canon, but we also used this opportunity to deduce the prototype of the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique!
"Well, my cultivation is almost consolidated, and I've also begun to grasp the basics of the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique. It's time... to complete that mission."
Shi Hao stood up, stretched his limbs, and his eyes gleamed with eager anticipation.
Luotian Dajiao!
He still remembered the private mission issued by the system—to win first place in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony and be rewarded with a "World Origin"!
Shi Hao was filled with curiosity and anticipation for the so-called "origin of the world"! This was something far more advanced than any cultivation technique or magical treasure! If he could obtain a copy, it would undoubtedly bring immeasurable benefits to his future cultivation!
……
A few days later, at Longhu Mountain.
The highly anticipated Luo Tian Grand Ceremony has finally officially begun amidst the anticipation of countless extraordinary individuals!
In an instant, this Taoist ancestral temple became incredibly lively. Young extraordinary individuals from all corners of the country, from various sects and aristocratic families, gathered here like a swarm of locusts crossing a river, all eager to showcase their skills and make a name for themselves at this top-level event in the world of extraordinary individuals!
The training ground was bustling with people, and banners fluttered in the breeze. The Old Celestial Master sat serenely on a high platform. Elders Lu Jin and Tian Jinzhong were also seated beside him. The other members of the Ten Elders, as well as the leaders and elders of various sects, were all present, making for a grand spectacle.
When the list of contestants was announced and it was Shi Hao's turn to take the stage for the first round of competition, the entire martial arts arena fell silent for a moment, and then a huge murmur of discussion erupted!
"Look! That's Shi Hao, the one who 'loves to drink animal milk'!"
"He's really only five years old! Is he going to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony?"
"Are you kidding me? This is ridiculous!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down! Haven't you heard? A few days ago, Grandpa Lu Jin personally tested this kid, and... he was defeated in one move! Even the Celestial Master was forced to retreat when he fought him!"
"What?! Really?!"
Various rumors about Shi Hao had already spread throughout Longhu Mountain and even the entire world of supernatural beings in the past few days! But seeing Shi Hao's delicate and harmless childlike appearance in person, everyone still felt extremely absurd and unbelievable!
Shi Hao paid no attention to the curious, questioning, or shocked looks around him. He simply yawned and then leisurely walked onto one of the dueling platforms.
His opponent was a tall, arrogant young man who looked to be around twenty years old. He was a core disciple from a small to medium-sized sect and was quite well-known among the younger generation.
"Hmph! A five-year-old toddler dares to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony? What a joke! Go back to drinking your milk! Don't embarrass yourself here!" The young man's face was filled with disdain and contempt when he saw that his opponent was Shi Hao. He felt that the Celestial Master's Mansion must have made a mistake, or was deliberately humiliating him!
Upon hearing this, Shi Hao merely raised his eyelids and glanced at him, uttering two words indifferently: "Noisy."
"What did you say?! You're asking for death!" The young man was furious, feeling greatly insulted! He roared, his internal energy erupted, condensing into a fist wreathed in flames, and smashed it fiercely towards Shi Hao!
However, Shi Hao didn't even lift his eyelids in the face of this powerful punch.
Just as the fiery fist was about to strike, he casually... extended a finger.
Just a little bit.
boom!
A soft sound.
The young man's sinister smile froze instantly, then turned into terror!
He felt his fiery fist, powerful enough to shatter stone monuments, vanish without a trace the moment it touched that delicate white finger! Instead, an unparalleled, terrifying force surged back up his arm!
Click!
His arm bone shattered instantly!
"Ugh!"
The young man let out a shrill scream, and as if he had been hit by a speeding train, he was sent flying backward, crashing off the fighting platform and losing consciousness!
One finger! Instant kill!
