Chapter 4: Treasures of Huaxia

The entire space remained filled with thunder and lightning, as the purple thunder flower continued to devour the lightning striking it. When the purple thunder flower reached its peak rotation, the white light that had surged into Xu Feng's consciousness finally vanished. At the moment the white light disappeared, all the thunder and lightning also ceased simultaneously, and everything returned to silence. Only the purple thunder quietly enveloped Xu Feng's consciousness.

Dao Xuan Jing

Xu Feng muttered words that were deserving of a beating, yet he was unaware that above his forehead, the purple light of thunder flowers flickered. It was entirely due to the thunder flowers that he could step into the first stage of the Dao Xuan Jing without any bottlenecks

This practice continued until nightfall. Once the night enveloped Xu Feng completely, he finally ceased forming his hand seals. At the moment he stopped, the originally flickering purple lightning mark also vanished, and the lightning that had been entwining Xu Feng's body simultaneously disappeared.

Xufeng, who was immersed in the cultivation of the Dao Xuan Jing, was unaware that his body was entwined by lightning. This continuous entanglement was refining Xufeng's body; his originally pale physique, under such refinement, revealed a flushed hue as if beaten, adding a touch of healthiness.

The power of lightning, also known as the power of divine punishment, is harmoniously cultivated through the practice of extraordinary skills that defy the heavens. Regardless of whether it is through fire refinement, medicinal therapy, or other means of physical training, those who cultivate their physique in these ways are far inferior to those who train their physique with the power of lightning

This extremely mysterious matter is no less remarkable than Xu Feng's journey to this place

Xu Feng sat cross-legged with excitement, following the explanation of the Dao Xuan Jing, merging his mind and spirit into his body. Xu Feng initially thought that calming his mind and merging it into his body would take a considerable amount of time. However, to his astonishment, it only took a single thought for his mind and spirit to completely integrate.

Li Hexuan is a practitioner of considerable strength

On this continent, it is said that there exist various kinds of thunderous entities, such as thunder flowers, thunder pearls, and thunder beasts, among others. Some of these entities are so formidable that they can cleave the world! This is the true power of divine retribution, rather than merely the flashes and roars of thunder during a storm. Of course, this information is derived from memories of a past life, and whether it is true remains uncertain; most of the knowledge from that previous existence is likely based on stories and legends heard.

Of course, mhetushu.com. Aside from the fact that this is related to the Daoist scripture, it is more about the effects of lightning. Although Xu Feng was struck by lightning and the purple lightning that engulfed him was not abundant, it was not difficult for him to refine his body to the second grade with the energy it emitted.

Such an incredibly rapid speed left Xu Feng in disbelief. The Dao Xuan Jing states that this initial step is extremely difficult to achieve. For others, it may take at least one or two years, or even a lifetime to attain.

To strengthen one's physique, one must refine the body. For a practitioner of the mysterious arts, there are many methods to achieve this. Techniques such as water impact, fire tempering, medicinal treatments, and electric strikes are all means to refine the body, enhance physical strength, and cultivate mysterious skills

However, after finishing the first volume, Xu Feng's expression became peculiar. The first volume of the Dao Xuan Jing, aside from the content related to cultivation, only contained a method that claimed to be therapeutic.

The Xuan practitioner, he has actually become a Xuan practitioner. In just a few short hours, he has reached the peak of the second rank Xuan practitioner. A Xuan practitioner signifies that he will no longer be someone who can be easily bullied in the future.

Xu Feng was unaware that as he slapped his forehead, a purple lightning flower mark flashed on his forehead, emitting a faint glow. Xu Feng only felt a slight warmth on his forehead, which compelled him to reach up and touch it.

However, the power of lightning, known as the divine punishment, is not so easily harnessed for cultivation. Countless practitioners of the mysterious arts find it exceedingly rare to utilize the power of lightning. Most importantly, the power of lightning is difficult to obtain. Moreover, some forms of lightning are of too low a level; even if one were to acquire them, they would be of no use. At the very least, during thunderstorms, the lightning power available is ineffective for practitioners of a certain level.

Indeed, this esoteric scripture is nothing but a charlatan's deception. They claim it is extremely difficult to cultivate, but it is really not that complicated. Xu Feng felt quite pleased with himself, thinking that he was indeed exceptionally intelligent. However, he also mused, "Being too clever is not necessarily a good thing; one can easily see through the tricks of a charlatan's techniques."

However, he advanced to the second rank in just a few hours, which is simply unimaginable

Is my character really back? Can such a level be achieved in just a few hours? Xu Feng was still in disbelief, but only when he saw the faint marks on the bluestone did he accept this reality

However, all methods of refining the body are far inferior to one particular method

Life is like oppression; since one cannot resist, one might as well enjoy it. This was said by some sage-level master from a past life. At this moment, Xu Feng felt it was exceptionally reasonable. Xu Feng felt that he was the one being oppressed, and ironically, he was being subjected to repeated oppression.

This scene inevitably reminded Xu Feng of apocalyptic scenarios, yet he felt that even those apocalyptic scenes could not compare to the violent thunderstorms of this space

The practitioner of the mysterious arts transcends the ordinary through the cultivation of profound skills. Cultivating these skills involves unlocking the body's potential and harnessing its vital energy. Therefore, the most crucial aspect of this practice is the continuous enhancement of one's physical constitution. Only in this way can the body accommodate a greater amount of vital energy.

Amidst another round of thunder, the purple lotus began to spin, and as it rotated, beams of white light surged towards Xu Feng. As the white light entered his consciousness, Xu Feng felt waves of information flooding him, causing a sensation of explosive pain. This bursting pain plunged Xu Feng into immense torment, yet in the midst of this suffering, he could do nothing but allow the white light to be infused into his mind.

Upon awakening, Xu Feng could clearly feel the strength in his body. This invigorating sensation was something he had never experienced even in his previous life. This led Xu Feng to foolishly throw a punch at the stone beneath him.

Xu Feng rubbed his head, having provoked not only a noble but also the Xuan practitioner Li Hexuan upon his arrival. Although the figure of that little girl, Xia Feixuan, was indeed impressive, with skin as fair as lotus root, the problem was that under the peony flower, nothing was accomplished, and thus he met his demise, unable to even become a dandy.

After reaching the pinnacle of the second rank, Xu Feng quickly calmed down after his initial excitement. It was evident that this level of strength was still far from sufficient. The abilities of Li Wei and Li Hexuan undoubtedly surpassed his own by a significant margin. However, having achieved this milestone provided Xu Feng with some degree of comfort.

After scanning through the information in his mind like a book, Xu Feng murmured to himself. However, the more he looked, the more intense the excitement in his eyes became

From the first rank to the second rank, and then to the third rank. It was merely a matter of a few short hours, during which Xu Feng was completely immersed in the cultivation of the Dao Xuan Jing. Xu Feng could feel his body growing stronger, yet he was unaware that he had already entered the second rank. Had he known, he would surely have been taken aback; even if the Dao Xuan Jing was indeed miraculous, reaching the second rank in just a few short hours was still an astonishing feat.

Upon careful examination of this sacred text of the door, Xu Feng discovered that he could only access the first volume, while the subsequent volumes appeared to be sealed away, remaining beyond his reach no matter how hard he tried

Under this indoctrination, Xu Feng could feel his consciousness expanding to the point of rupture, yet it was forcefully suppressed again by the rotation of the purple lotus

Xu Feng held his head, enduring the pain from the recent infusion of white light. As this pain began to dissipate, Xu Feng suddenly realized that there were many new things in his mind. A convoluted piece of classical literature flashed through his consciousness. This classical text was exceedingly intricate and profound

Upon thinking of this, Xu Feng could not help but feel delighted; with the Dao Xuan Jing in hand, he was confident that he could handle Li Hexuan.

Although the tempering was somewhat itchy, Xu Feng felt an unusual sense of comfort. This made the seals Xu Feng was forming increasingly rapid, while the lightning that entwined him further interwove with the tempering within his body

Xu Feng muttered about these contemptible words, how the grand sacred texts of Huaxia were actually being belittled in such a manner. This was also due to Xu Feng's lack of discernment; had the people of the Huaxia Daoist sect obtained it, they would have likely been so excited that they would have perished from the thrill.

Xu Feng had absolute reason to believe that, with his level of classical Chinese, he could not possibly comprehend the content of this ancient text. Xu Feng even thought that, even if this ancient text were given to those at the professor level, they too would be unable to understand it. However, to Xu Feng's astonishment and surprise, he found that he could fully understand this ancient text, as if the information were imprinted in his mind, and he encountered no difficulty in comprehending it at all

Xu Feng examined the strength of the bluestone and, comparing it with the memories in his mind, exclaimed in astonishment: "Peak of the Second Rank?!"

At m.hetushu.com, under the impact of Xu Feng, while his fist ached, a faint mark appeared on the stone, leaving Xu Feng stunned in place. He had actually created a trace on this piece of blue stone. This was beyond Xu Feng's imagination; in his previous life, even if he exerted all his strength, he could not have achieved such an effect.

Xu Feng mumbled to himself, but thought that the things of Huaxia must be better than those of the world. Xu Feng's mindset was akin to the belief that others' possessions could never compare to one's own, reflecting a strong sense of territoriality.

On Xu Feng's forehead, a purple thunder flower continuously flickered, emitting bolts of lightning that refined Xu Feng's body. His skin showed a tender red after being hammered. Moreover, Xu Feng could hear faint sounds coming from his bones. With each refinement, Xu Feng felt his mind becoming clearer and his focus sharpening.

Haha... Xu Feng laughed arrogantly, as the numerous suppressions he had endured in the past erupted at that moment, his laughter resonating loudly in the quiet night, carrying far away.

Xu Feng had not yet fully discerned the color of this thunder flower when the space began to undergo a dramatic transformation. Columns of lightning, resembling towering water spouts, descended from the void. In a brief moment, this space became suffused with countless bolts of lightning, transforming the entire area into a world of thunder. Apart from the violent power of the lightning, there was nothing else in this space.

The strength of the body continues to increase. Soon, Xu Feng's physical strength reached the second tier. The speed was so fast that it was hard to imagine.

For martial practitioners, entering the state of profound cultivation is extremely difficult at first. In other words, it is very challenging to reach the first level. Some individuals may not achieve this throughout their entire lives. After reaching the first level, advancing to the next level, while not difficult, still requires the accumulation of time. However, according to Xu Feng's knowledge, among the servants of the Xiao family, the fastest servant took three months to cultivate, and he also purchased body-enhancing elixirs.

Xu Feng's consciousness was engulfed into a peculiar space, where there existed only a purple thunder flower. This purple thunder flower was as enchanting as the petals of a rose, and Xu Feng found himself at the bud of this purple thunder flower

On hetushu.com, Xu Feng had not yet fully recovered from the excruciating pain that felt as if it would burst him apart. Suddenly, a flash of purple lightning flickered, and Xu Feng immediately sensed that his spiritual consciousness had returned to his body once again. Of course, as the spiritual consciousness returned to his body, the purple lightning flower on Xu Feng's forehead flickered a few times before disappearing once more

Come on! It can't be this bad, can it? I feel like the Daoist scriptures are just something to fool people. The introduction sounds so impressive, yet there are no offensive techniques at all. Is this really considered a sacred text of the Daoist school?

In the realm of thunder and lightning, the Thunder Flower remains completely unaffected; instead, the lightning that strikes towards it is entirely devoured by the flower. Xu Feng can perceive that after the Thunder Flower consumes the lightning, its purple hue becomes even more intense

As Xu Feng's hand made contact with the mark, a dazzling purple light erupted from his forehead. Under this purple light, Xu Feng felt his consciousness being devoured once again, and he lost control of himself completely

Xu Feng gazed out at the river before him, the surface shrouded in a misty beauty that was intoxicating to the senses. In a past life, this place would surely have been a tourist destination, yet at this moment, Xu Feng felt no such inclination. Although he had just feigned indifference towards the second young lady of the Xiao family, deep down he understood that in this hierarchical world, it would be all too easy for her to bring about his downfall.

That is thunder

Damn it! I need to think of a way to get through this crisis first. Alas, I don't have any profound skills. If my level of proficiency were to reach that of Li Hexuan, I wouldn't have to fear them. Xu Feng patted his forehead

Cough! I must hurry to cultivate my skills. Otherwise, I will eventually be defeated by Li Wei. His gloomy eyes are still vivid in my memory. Xu Feng has no doubt that if Li Wei finds an opportunity, he will make sure to eliminate him.

Xu Feng could clearly feel that the strength of his body was continuously increasing

Boom

Boom

An ordinary person cannot withstand such the might of heaven and earth, yet Xu Feng, with the lightning brought forth from his soul, has embarked on a path never tread by others. From the very beginning of his cultivation, he has tempered his body with heavenly thunder

Dao Xuan Jing, a sacred text of the Daoist school, is a treasure of Huaxia. This is a method of cultivation that, when practiced to a certain level, can turn stone into gold and transform decay into the miraculous; anything is possible.
