NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 19 - Spiritual Energy Storm, Crazy Infusion!
Chapter 19: Spiritual Energy Storm, Crazy Infusion!
Gu Liuyun ultimately didn’t act impulsively. He didn’t dare to lunge at Tianluan for a kiss. The primary reason was that his favorability wasn’t high enough. The consequences of such an action could be quite disastrous. It’s better to cultivate a higher favorability in the future and then seek an opportunity.
Tianluan naturally had no idea that the young man in front of her was contemplating such thoughts. She lifted the tea from the table and said, “Go practice on the peak yourself. I need to have a word with your senior sister.”
Gu Liuyun scratched his head and asked Tianluan, “So, um… Master, will you not teach me a new body technique?”
Tianluan gave him a disapproving look and said, “Dharma cultivation’s body techniques demand high physical strength. With your current state of body refining, would you like to harm yourself?”
Gu Liuyun was full of tears, feeling disdain from his master. He shrugged, waved to his master and Senior Sister Murong, and then hurried to practice his supernatural powers on the peak.
Watching his departure, Murong Qianxue remarked, “Junior brother’s talent is truly terrifying.”
Tianluan looked at the exquisite Murong Qianxue and saw her younger self in her, saying, “No need to envy him. Such unparalleled prodigies are a once-in-a-millennium sight. Your talent is already the pride of your generation.”
Murong Qianxue, rubbing her forehead gently, smiled and said, “I’m not envious. I’m happy to have someone to share your burdens with finally.”
Tianluan smiled and nodded, then suddenly remembered something. She told Murong Qianxue, “In the future, within the Daoist Palace, you must be cautious.”
Murong Qianxue furrowed her brows, asking, “What do you mean, Master?”
Tianluan shook her head and said, “It’s nothing to worry about. His cultivation is only at the Qi Refinement stage. I can easily find a reason to accept him as my disciple, and others won’t pay too much attention. Your master won’t object either.”
“But it’s you I’m concerned about. Not everyone in the Daoist Palace is benevolent.”
In the Fiery Sun Peak’s hall, a disciple knelt before Nangong Chen, looking frightened. He said, “I apologize, but I couldn’t find detailed information about Gu Liuyun.”
Nangong Chen, Initially with his back turned, furrowed his brow upon hearing this and instantly blasted the disciple away with a fiery explosion. The disciple’s chest was scorched. He spat blood but struggled to get up and knelt again.
“You’re useless. Get out!” Nangong Chen yelled.
The disciple quickly kowtowed and staggered out of the hall. Nangong Chen turned and approached a desk, looking at a file with Murong Qianxue’s name. He remembered the embarrassing situation in the hall and Gu Liuyun’s mockery. His expression grew increasingly stern.
“Someone, find Zhao Jie for me!”
……
On the other hand, Gu Liuyun was excited as he gazed at the thunderclouds not far away, continuously witnessing lightning bolts striking down. The power of the “Divine Thunder Locking Heaven Formation” was truly formidable. Once activated, it sealed off an area within a ten-meter radius, followed by relentless lightning strikes. It was versatile, capable of attacking groups or single targets, and even served as a large-scale control skill. It was incredibly enjoyable.
Moreover, as he practiced this supernatural power continuously, he discovered that the power of lightning and the range of the thunderclouds could expand. He wondered if, in the future, his lightning power could reach the level of a heavenly tribulation.
Considering his supreme talent as the Heavenly Tribulation Body might not be impossible. If he could indeed achieve such an effect, when his cultivation advanced in the future, he could simply summon endless thunderclouds, causing thousands of thunder tribulations to descend upon the endless hordes of monsters and demons.
What a breathtaking scene it would be!
Thinking about this, he burst into laughter, unable to contain his excitement. Unbeknownst to him, his spiritual power had become somewhat uncontrollable. Normally, this wouldn’t affect the spirit-gathering array on Tianluan Peak, as he had deliberately avoided the Gathering Spirit Pearl’s location. However, in his moment of unchecked enthusiasm, his supernatural power suddenly went awry. The thunderclouds, originally confined to a specific range, dispersed, and lightning bolts struck unpredictably.
One of the lightning bolts happened to strike the spirit-gathering array. The heaven and earth’s aura, originally gathered by the array, exploded like a punctured balloon on top of Tianluan Peak.
Normally, a small-scale aura storm like this wouldn’t have any significant impact, as the spirit-gathering array would swiftly reassemble the aura. But the issue was that Gu Liuyun happened to be present, and he had inadvertently triggered the special effect of the “Heavenly Phoenix Scripture,” instantly restoring 30% of his spiritual power.
It was worth noting that spiritual power didn’t recover independently. It was instantly drawn from the external spiritual energy and infused into his body. That’s why it was referred to as “Heavenly Phoenix” by Tianluan!
Additionally, due to Gu Liuyun’s innate talent, spiritual energy naturally gravitated towards him. When both these factors combined and encountered the aura storm, it was as if the heaven and earth’s aura had gone mad, rushing into his body with unprecedented vigor!
