Lightning Calamity Divine Art.

Referenced from Lei Clan's Lightning Conqueror Warrior Mantra and Thunderer's Heart Compendium, synthesized with countless other auxiliary methods and ancient texts.

It was a gradeless cultivation technique as anyone could cultivate it by absorbing Lightning Energy into one's body, increasing the rate of electricity current and cell activity.

It doesn't require Dou Qi to cultivate.

However, there is an extreme degree of risk.

Absorbing pure Lightning Energy into one's body is unduly dangerous by itself. That's why many Lightning-Type Dou Practitioners temper their bodies first to gain enough resistance toward it.

Lightning Calamity Divine Art uses the power of Lightning to refine one's bioelectricity continuously and will cause severe damage to nerves, muscle tissue, heart, and even cells.

It also led to death.

Without proper care, the nerve will get fried, turning the practitioners of this cultivation technique into a vegetable.

The muscle tissue will get torn apart, becoming mush.

The heart will get damaged due to prolonged electric shock.

And lastly, overactivating cells make your lifespans wither faster.

That's why Baek Ain created this for people with parasites. The parasites will regulate the bioelectricity, eliminating the danger of Lightning Calamity Divine Art by 50%.

Why 50%?

Because the rest depend on the practitioners as they must have firm hearts and determination to endure the Lightning Energy.

...

Inside the Lei Clan's Secret Realm, four lightning bolts clashed fiercely.

Each lightning bolt has different colors. There are blue, red, gold, and finally white.

The white lightning bolt ran across the flat land, leaving a beautiful hue and light. It released three quick lightning strikes, stunning other lightning bolts.

"Lightning Calamity Divine Art: First Layer."

"Lightning Armor."

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The other lightning bolts couldn't dodge and immediately dissipated, leaving three beauties in a deep crater.

"That hurts..." Yao Ling'er mumbled while rubbing her sore shoulders.

Huo Zhi brushed the dust from her clothes and checked, "This technique is hard to master..."

"Yes, Teacher Lin's control over Lightning Element is unfathomable." Gu Xun'er added with a sigh. She admired her godlike teacher, but it also made her feel helpless.

Even though Baek Ain said only Huo Zhi would inherit his Martial Path, he still imparted the safer version of Lightning Calamity Divine Art called the Thunder Activation Art to them.

After all, Thunder Activation Art could make them safer.

Thunder Activation Art only recorded 1/3 of the Lightning Calamity Divine Art, which was still profound enough for them. When they master it, they can wield "Lightning/Thunder." as much as they like.

Baek Ain also told them to forge their paths as Thunder Activation Art could get fused with Heavenly Flames by separating the spark and turning it into electricity, making it a growable cultivation technique.

Yao Ling'er used her Quasi-Heavenly Flame, the Icy River Flame, to create a blue spark.

Huo Zhi used her Red Lotus Flame to create a red spark.

Gu Xun'er used her Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame to create a golden spark.

"One with Heavenly Flame should develop quickly, but Senior Sister Ling'er actually grasped it faster than us." Gu Xun'er commented while enviously staring at Yao Ling'er.

"Yeah." Huo Zhi nodded in agreement, seeing a faint blue lightning armor around Yao Ling'er.

Yao Ling'er lifted her chest proudly and said, "My Icy River Flame might be weaker than your Heavenly Flame, but it's more stable. I don't have a problem converting sparks to reach Thunder Activation Art's 1st Layer."

"Also, my Lightning Armor isn't perfect yet." She added while clenching her hand slightly.

After Baek Ain accepted Huo Zhi and Gu Xun'er, Yao Ling'er felt she was the weakest.

Her martial prowess is mediocre compared to them.

The only thing she could be proud of is her Alchemy Skill.

With Thunder Activation Art, Yao Ling'er could feel her strength increase tremendously. Her dignity as Baek Ain's first disciple stays firm.

A white flash approached them. The three beauties moved their eyes to it, seeing their teacher had a teasing smile on his handsome face.

"Hmm, Zhi'er and Xun'er... You two will reach the first stage in a few days." Baek Ain commented. "As for you, Ling'er, try to condense Lightning Armor more."

"We will leave in five days or so."

"We will follow the reacher's arrangement." They responded with a nod.

After that, Baek Ain gave them some pointers on Thunder Activation Art and left with a white flash.

Gu Xun'er watched the white flash with a longing look, "I have to get stronger."

"Besides Thunder Activation Art, I can't slack on my Refiner Path and Cultivation."

"Yes, I'm also about to perfect my Fire Extermination Body." Huo Zhi suddenly added, feeling the surging sensation in her chest. She felt thankful to Baek Ain.

Yao Ling'er rolled her eyes at these two and said, "Stop staring. Let's wash ourselves."

"Okay!" 2x.

...

Qing Lin waved her legs playfully while sitting on a rock. She hummed pleasantly, observing Baek Ain's disciples with an amused expression.

"They have become stronger." She commented lightly.

A gust of wind brushed her face gently.

"You also become more powerful, my little wifey." Baek Ain appeared and leaned his head on her lap.

"Not to mention, the degree of your growth is way beyond them."

"Their Cultivations might have developed tremendously, but you successfully enter a Half-Saint Realm."

Qing Lin giggled and returned, "Hehe, It's nothing."

Even though Qing Lin replied humbly, she was happy when Baek Ain praised her.

She affectionately brushed Baek Ain's hair, "After this, where are we going to?"

Baek Ain smiled and answered, "Pill Tower, I want to get my hands on Three Thousand Burning Flame."

"Yi Xian and Lan Rou have been waiting for us there."

"Hmm..." Qing Lin pouted when hearing this.

"What's with that face?" Baek Ain pinched her little nose playfully.

Qing Lin opened her mouth and complained, "When we arrive at the Pill Tower, our time together will get shortened."

"Oh, my... My little wifey actually became possessive of me."

"Well, don't worry much. We still have a week to enjoy our quality time."

Qing Lin blushed and whispered to Baek Ain's ears, "In that case... I won't let you rest."

Five days later, the Lei Clan's Secret Realm was "willfully." opened as Lei Ying fetched them out.

Lei Ying was shocked to feel immense Lightning Energy from Baek Ain's disciples. On top of that, he couldn't sense Baek Ain's strength anymore.

He sighed and commented, "Brother Lin, I'm afraid even I can't spar with you from now on."

Baek Ain laughed, "Haha, Brother Lei, don't look down on yourself too much."

"I believe Lei Clan will grow more with you as their leader."

"Yeah." Lei Ying grinned at him.

After saying farewell, Baek Ain and others left the Lei Clan and went to the center area of Central Plains. In just a day, they arrived at the city near the Pill Tower.

Upon walking out of the Wormhole in the city, Baek Ain watched a massive towering pill higher than clouds.

He was amazed before remembering the White Primal Tower in the Behemoth Paradise. He shook his head and tried to contact Yi Xian through Parasite's Link.

However, he couldn't for some reason.

"What about Lan Rou?" He contacted his other wife instead.

Not long after, a pleasant voice entered Baek Ain's mind.

'Ain, you have come?' Lan Rou asked somewhat excitedly.

'Yes, can you fetch us?' Baek Ain answered casually. Even then, a smile still plastered on his face.

Lan Rou was silent for a second and said, 'About that, I can't fetch you.'

'Yi Xian and I currently stay in the Pill Realm in Pill Tower. Yi Xian is on the verge of breaking through, so I had to monitor her, or something wrong might happen.'

'I'll tell someone to get you later.'

'For now, you can just stroll around first.' She added calmly.

'Okay.' Baek Ain shrugged helplessly. It was a good thing Yi Xian was breaking through.

With that in mind, Baek Ain brought Qing Lin and his disciples to the inn nearby. They quickly checked in and went to get lunch.

As they sat around a round table, Baek Ain overheard some people speak at the other table. They wore an Alchemist Robe, making their status clear.

"Hey, have you ever heard about the Floating Ghost Island?"

"Floating Ghost Island?"

"Yes, Floating Ghost Island. People have seen a floating mountain-sized island near the Pill Tower for a month. Some people guessed it was an entrance to a secret realm, but when they went there..."

"Can't you say it all in one go? It irks me!"

"Tsk, I'm building suspense here."

"Anyway, when they went there... They saw a legendary tree!"

"The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree!"
