On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

Chapter 103: Second Trial (1)

Heavenly Lightning Steps 'Second Step'.

The Heavenly Lightning Steps technique was a profound movement technique known for its swiftness and agility.

It allowed cultivators to move with lightning-like speed, surpassing the limitations of mortal bodies and traversing vast distances in the blink of an eye.

Chen Tian had mastered all nine steps of this technique in his previous life.

That's why it wasn't too difficult for him to learn the technique again.

The first step is for the Qi Refinement Realm, where the cultivator needs to have a 5% understanding of the lightning law.

The second step is for the Meridian Opening Realm, requiring a 20% understanding of the lightning law.

The third step can only be used in the Foundation Realm. However, it comes with greater spiritual Qi consumption and demands a 40% understanding of the lightning law.

The first step of this impressive technique involves utilizing the power of lightning from the surroundings to improve the cultivator movements.

The second step was on a completely different level compared to the first step. The increase from 5% to 20% in lightning law was a significant jump.

Unlike the first step, which relied on harnessing the external power of the lightning law to accelerate the body's movements, the second step of Heavenly Lightning Steps delved even deeper.

It involved utilizing the lightning law within the cultivator's own body, making the body have a greater level of speed and agility.

Closing his eyes, Chen Tian focused his mind, delving deep into his body.

He visualized the lightning law as a boundless electric current surging through the depths of his body.

With each breath, he synchronized his breathing with the rhythm of the lightning law.

As Chen Tian continued to cultivate, the lightning responded to his call.

It ignited within him, sparking a series of transformations. The lightning essence flowed through his meridians, empowering his muscles, bones, and organs and infusing lightning law into his body.

Minutes later, Chen Tian opened his eyes, and a spark of electricity danced within them.

He could feel the power of lightning coursing through his veins; his body was now a vessel for the lightning law.

"The second step is now done," Chen Tian murmured.

After that, the lightning inside his body began to fade away as Chen Tian turned off the technique.

"It took me around 2 hours to learn the technique and fully integrate it into my body," Chen Tian thought to himself.

Looking around him Chen Tian could see that the other participants had stopped recovering their Qi and were talking amongst themselves.

"The next trial should start soon; let's check my strength for now." Chen Tian said to himself,

"I've come a long way, and I've achieved a lot just in a couple of days," Chen Tian thought to himself.

With his Chaos God Body and his cultivation level at the Fifth Stage of The Qi Refinement Realm, he was already quite powerful for just a month of cultivation.

He had two cultivation techniques, the Heaven Devouring Chaos Technique and the Primordial Yin-Yang Cultivation Technique, which were both highly regarded.

The Heaven Devouring Chaos Technique was considered a top-tier technique, while the Primordial Yin-Yang Cultivation Technique was ranked slightly lower but was still a high leveled technique.

Moreover, his cultivation speed was remarkably fast, enabling him to make rapid progress.

"Everyone!"

Just as Chen Tian was in deep thought, the voice of Long Wei sounded, interrupting his train of thought.

Chen Tian suddenly paused his activities, and to his surprise, everyone else also stopped and turned their attention towards the sky.

Chen Tian suddenly halted his actions, and to his surprise, everyone around him also stopped what they were doing and turned their gaze towards the sky.

In the midst of the room, Long Wei hovered in the air, exuding a powerful and authoritative aura as he looked down upon all the people present.

In the midst of the room, Long Wei was waving his arms frantically, appearing highly authoritative as he looked down upon all the people present.

"The First trial is over. Of the 200 that participated in this test, only 80 were able to pass the first trial," Long Wei said, his voice booming through the room for everyone to hear.

The tension in the air was palpable as everyone waited for Long Wei to continue.

"I believe that everyone here has sufficiently recovered from the first trial," Long Wei declared, his voice resonating with authority. "Ample time has been granted for rest. Now, we shall proceed into the next trial."

With a commanding gesture, Long Wei opened his palm, conjuring a brilliant flame in his hand.

The fire flickered and danced within his grasp, radiating an intense heat that filled the arena-like space where they stood.

Without hesitation, Long Wei released the fire from his palm, sending it soaring into the center of the arena.

The flames rose higher, their vibrant hues illuminating the surroundings.

But as if in response to the fiery spectacle, the very foundation of the place began to tremble, sending shockwaves through the air.

The edges of the arena, which previously appeared as an endless abyss, took on a foreboding transformation.

As the ground shook, a deep rumbling reverberated beneath their feet. Heat radiated from the cracks that snaked along the perimeter of the arena, seeping into the air like an ominous presence.

The participants exchanged glances, their expressions etched with a mixture of worry and

Then, from the depths of the earth, molten lava surged forth.

It cascaded over the edges of the arena, encircling the space in a river of fiery orange.

The intense heat it emanated permeated the air, creating an atmosphere of both danger and opportunity.

The lava moved with purpose, seemingly guided by an unseen force.

It flowed in intricate patterns, forming a treacherous barrier that separated the participants from the safety of solid ground. The once steady arena now stood on a precarious island, surrounded by a churning sea of molten rock.

"It's not over yet; everyone should be careful not to fall." Long Wei warned, his voice filled with amusement.

The participants looked at each other, their faces etched with a mix of fear and curiosity.

They knew that the second trial would be harder than the first one and more dangerous.

But amidst the danger, there was also opportunity.

Long Wei's gaze narrowed; his eyes were filled with determination. With a swift gesture of his palm, an ancient incantation resonated through the air.

The very fabric of the trembling arena seemed to respond, quaking with greater intensity than before.

As if possessed by an unseen force, the arena began to rise, defying gravity itself.

The ground beneath the participants' feet shifted, causing some to lose their balance and stumble, falling onto their backsides.

"What-What happening!!"

"Ah!!"

Surprised gasps filled the air as the cultivators grappled to regain their footing amidst the unexpected upheaval.

The ascending arena elevated them into a realm beyond their previous reach, suspending them in midair.

The view from this new vantage point was awe-inspiring as they witnessed the vast expanse of lava before them.

Long Wei's voice reverberated with authority, cutting through everyone's astonishment.

"This is the next stage of the trial," he announced, his words carrying a weight that stirred the participants' spirits.

Hearing his words, everyone became serious, knowing that they had to push through this challenge.

The participants took a moment to steady themselves, their eyes shining with renewed determination.

Seeing that all of them were ready, Long Wei nodded his head and smiled.

"Good, since everyone is ready, let's start the next trial!" Long Wei, he said as he clapped his hands together.

"This trial is different from the first trial as this trial will have to be completed in pairs," Long Wei announced.

"Pairs?" Chen Tian's face twisted into a frown as he received the information. This was definitely not good news for him.

He quickly glanced around and a look of surprise crossed his features.

"Darn it! Those scoundrels! They were aware of this trial all along!"

He noticed that the disciples of the Immortal Sect were beginning to gather in groups.

Some of the groups had already formed, indicating that these disciples had information about the upcoming trial.

"Damn it, now what should I do!" Chen Tian thought, as he didn't have any favorable relations with any of the Immortal Sect members here.

He felt frustrated, realizing that he was at a disadvantage compared to the others who had already formed their pairs.

The fact that the Immortal Sect disciplines had prior knowledge about the trial only added to his anxiety.

Chen Tian knew that he had to act quickly and find a partner if he wanted to have a chance at succeeding in the trial.

The pressure was on, and he needed to make a decision.

The participants looked at each other, forming pairs based on their strengths and weaknesses.

They knew that working together would be crucial to succeeding in this trial.

So they chose the perfect pair that could complement each other's abilities and overcome any obstacles that might arise.

Noticing what happened, Long Wei smiled in his heart and said, "Idiots."
