Chapter 412: Chapter 256: 5-Fire Divine Thunder
"Any disciple of our Five Elements True Spirit Sect may come to the Ancestral Hall to choose one Divine Prohibition to cultivate after successfully completing their Core Formation."
Sect Leader Zhang Yuan said to Yang Jing.
These Divine Prohibitions possessed immense power, capable of ending a Magical Combat with a single strike. They represented the very core of a Sect’s heritage. Among the Six Sects, even highly regarded True Disciples were only granted access to them after completing their Core Formation.
As for the Demon Sect, even their Golden Core Disciples were still considered disposable, so they could only begin to practice these techniques after achieving Nascent Soul Formation.
"I heard from Fiery Fire that you comprehended the key to the Great Five Elements Divine Light Prohibition on your own. Why don’t you demonstrate it for me now."
On that day, two Nascent Soul Cultivators had personally witnessed Yang Jing use a magic that strongly resembled the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Prohibition. However, since this matter concerned a Divine Prohibition, he, as the Sect Leader of the Five Elements True Spirit Sect, had to see it for himself.
Yang Jing truly had mastered the Great Five Elements Divine Light Prohibition, so he naturally had nothing to be nervous about.
The next moment, he extended his hand, and a sharp, five-colored brilliance condensed in his palm.
Sect Leader Zhang Yuan’s eyelids twitched violently. He knew with a single glance that no audacious Nascent Soul Cultivator from his lineage had violated the rules and secretly passed the Secret Technique for the Great Five Elements Divine Light Prohibition to Yang Jing.
Because when activating the Great Five Elements Divine Light Prohibition, the magical power becomes extremely turbulent. The slightest mistake would cause it to explode directly in one’s hand, injuring the user before ever hitting the enemy.
For such a dangerous Divine Prohibition, one would typically channel Yang Five Elements with one hand and Yin Five Elements with the other. By bringing the hands together, the violent interaction of Yin and Yang would generate thunder. This thunder would then be guided by Sword Intent, transforming into the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light, capable of severing all things in the world.
’Who would ever activate it directly with one hand? It’s simply too reckless.’
"That’s enough. Withdraw your magical power for now."
Sect Leader Zhang Yuan, afraid that Yang Jing might accidentally slice the Ancestral Hall, even made his tone much gentler.
Yang Jing withdrew his magical power, and the surging Five Elements Magical Power in his palm vanished in an instant, retracting into his Dantian.
"This Great Five Elements Divine Light... you truly did comprehend it on your own. It’s very different from the version passed down in the Sect." Even though Sect Leader Zhang Yuan already had high expectations for Yang Jing’s understanding of the Five Elements Dao, seeing such a masterful display still made him sigh inwardly in admiration.
He even began to suspect that Yang Jing was the reincarnation of the first-generation Ancestor’s True Spirit.
"Since you’ve already grasped the secrets of the Great Five Elements Divine Light Prohibition on your own, I’ll make an executive decision. You can choose a second Divine Prohibition to cultivate, in addition to the first. But know this: cultivating Divine Prohibitions is incredibly difficult. Even the most talented disciples take a century to master a single one. Don’t get too caught up in them. Raising your Cultivation must remain your top priority."
"Thank you for your guidance, Sect Leader."
Yang Jing said respectfully.
He knew the Sect Leader’s words came from the heart. Divine Prohibitions were often formed by combining several profound forms of magic, and just cultivating these base magics to a certain realm consumed a vast amount of time.
Take the Five Elements True Thunder, for example. Even though it was broken down into ten simpler Thunder Techniques to make it easier for disciples to learn, most Qi Cultivation Disciples still couldn’t grasp the basics.
’But with my disciples and the blessing of my innate talent, my speed at cultivating magic is far beyond that of an ordinary person, so I’m not worried at all.’
"Go!"
Yang Jing felt Sect Leader Zhang Yuan give him a heavy pat on the back, and his Divine Soul involuntarily floated out of his physical body. He hastily retracted the Five-Colored Divine Dragon that guarded his Divine Soul, lest the Sect Leader notice anything unusual.
A statue of the Ancestor in the hall suddenly shot out a beam of divine light, pulling Yang Jing into a world filled with endless clouds and illuminated by a Great Sun.
The original statue of the Ancestor came to life, sitting cross-legged on a cloud platform. A Five Elements Wheel hovered behind its head, emitting a five-colored radiance that enveloped its entire body.
Yang Jing was startled by this scene, but he suppressed the turmoil in his heart, respectfully walked forward, and sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion in front of the Ancestor.
"State your name."
The Ancestor’s closed eyes suddenly snapped open. A divine light radiated from them as he stared at Yang Jing. free𝑤ebnovel.com
"Disciple Yang Jing."
Yang Jing answered respectfully. freewёbnoνel.com
’I can tell that the Ancestor before me is a wisp of a Sub-Soul. He probably holds all the secret teachings of the Five Elements True Spirit Sect’s Divine Prohibitions in his mind.’
’That makes sense. In the Nine Heavens World, what security measure could possibly compare to the Divine Soul of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator?’
"All the Divine Prohibitions passed down by the Five Elements True Spirit Sect are here. Choose two among them."
The Ancestor flicked his finger, and streams of divine light flew into the air, coalescing into complex Talismanic Scripts in front of Yang Jing. Yang Jing only needed to probe them with his Divine Sense to learn about the Divine Prohibition each script represented and its general function.
"Great Five Elements Divine Light Prohibition."
"Five Elements Divine Needle Prohibition."
"Celestial Wood Divine Needle Prohibition."
"Six Yang Divine Fire Prohibition."
...
Even Yang Jing was dazzled by the array of immensely powerful Divine Prohibitions. Any one of them was enough for a Golden Core Cultivator to dominate others of the same realm; they were nearly impossible to counter for a cultivator who had not also mastered a Divine Prohibition.
Yang Jing’s gaze froze, focusing on one particular Divine Prohibition.
This prohibition was called the Five Fire Divine Thunder Prohibition. It also required mastery of the Five Elements True Thunder Technique, followed by cultivation of the Breathing Fire Technique to gather five types of True Fire with a Secret Technique and refine them into thunder.
The Five Fire Divine Thunder was immensely powerful and possessed a self-perpetuating momentum. If an enemy was so much as touched by it, it would be impossible to break free. They could only watch helplessly as the Five Fire Divine Thunder blasted them to ashes.
This technique, much like the Great Five Elements Divine Light Prohibition, was also enhanced by mastery of the two Divine Techniques, the Five Thunders and the Five Elements Great Escape. Yang Jing would be able to cultivate it extremely quickly, and its power would be greatly magnified.
