reax;
"Now that you know the drawbacks of the Five Lightning Tribulation Technique, do you want to give up cultivating it?" the old man asked in a deep voice.
Fang Chen fell silent.
The Five Lightning Tribulation Technique was a soul cultivation technique that could only be chanced upon by luck.
Its power was so strong that even the old man was shocked.
However, it had its drawbacks.
In the later stages of cultivating it, one would fall into madness and lose their mind, dying in the fifth lightning tribulation.
It would be a lie to say that he did not want to cultivate it.
Once he cultivated such a heaven-defying secret technique, Fang Chen's strength would undergo an earth-shattering change.
However, when it came to cultivation, even a few of Dao Lord Five Lightning's disciples had died.
Even Dao Lord Five Lightning had died because of it.
How could a Mystic King resist the drawbacks of the Five Lightning Tribulation Technique?
Fang Chen was thinking. In his mind, there were two different voices arguing.
One voice believed that since there was such an opportunity, of course, he should not miss it.
The path of the Martial Dao was against the heavens. How could there be no danger?
The other voice believed that the Five Lightning Tribulation Technique had a huge drawback. Those who cultivated it were destroying their own future.
Seeing Fang Chen struggling, the old man watched him quietly.
In a trance, he seemed to see him back then.
He saw the struggle after his master's last words.
"There are some things in life that can't be wrong," the old man muttered to himself.
Fang Chen, who was struggling, suddenly felt his heart tremble.
He seemed to have comprehended something.
Then, he grinned and made a decision.
"Senior, I'm willing to cultivate the Five Lightning Tribulation Technique," Fang Chen said solemnly.
Fang Chen's decision was beyond the old man's expectations.
However, it also made the old man look at him in a different light.
"You know that there are tigers on the mountain, but you still go there.
Good, very good. The path of the Martial Dao requires a strong heart and a fearless heart, "the old man praised.
After Fang Chen made his decision, the old man treated Fang Chen like his own disciple.
The old man took out a small book from his bosom and handed it to Fang Chen as he warned, "This is some of my experience in cultivating the Five Thunders Tribulation Technique. Take a look. If there comes a day when you feel that you are unable to control the Five Thunders Tribulation Technique, you must stop cultivating it."
Fang Chen nodded heavily and cupped his hands in thanks.
"Cultivating the Five Thunders Tribulation Technique requires an enormous amount of soul power. You can cultivate in the soul power spring."
The old man continued, "Your soul is strong enough to cultivate the Five Thunders Tribulation Technique to the first level."
Hearing this, Fang Chen was secretly delighted.
After chatting with the old man for a while, Fang Chen returned to the Soul Power Spring.
Although it was the same as before, he was still cultivating in the soul power spring.
However, there were some small differences.
Previously, he had been forcefully thrown in by the old man.
Seeing Fang Chen enter a state of cultivation, the old man was very pleased.
"I hope you can succeed," the old man said in his heart.
Inside the soul power spring.
Fang Chen quickly looked at the Five Thunders Tribulation Technique in his mind.
What entered his eyes was the first level of the technique.
Dense handwriting filled his entire mind.
The soul of the early stage of the Blue Level rotated quickly.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Chen had memorized the first level of the Five Thunders Tribulation Technique.
Next, it was time to cultivate the Five Thunders Tribulation Technique.
With the cultivation experience that the old man gave to Fang Chen, coupled with the soul of the early stage of the Blue Level, the cultivation went smoothly.
In a mere three days, Fang Chen had completed the first level of cultivation.
At this time, Fang Chen's soul had reached the peak of the early stage of the Blue Level. He was only one step away from reaching the middle stage of the Blue Level.
This frightening speed of improvement caused Fang Chen to be extremely shocked.
One had to know that his soul had just reached the early stage of the Blue Level a few days ago, and now it had reached the peak of the early stage.
Rumble!
After cultivating the first level, Fang Chen sensed the arrival of the Soul Thunder Tribulation.
On the shore, when the old man saw the thunder in the sky, he suddenly stood up with a trace of nervousness in his heart.
"He can definitely do it." The old man comforted himself.
The Soul Thunder Tribulation specifically targeted the soul.
The soul was extremely fragile, and the terrifying thunder specifically targeted the soul.
If it was an ordinary martial artist, they would not be able to resist at all.
However, Fang Chen was a soul cultivator.
A Level 6 soul cultivator's soul attainments were not comparable to ordinary people.
"I want to see what's so special about this Soul Thunder Tribulation."
As he spoke, the terrifying power of thunder in the sky suddenly bombarded Fang Chen's body.
Suddenly, the power of thunder dissipated in an instant and drilled into Fang Chen's body.
Then, it followed the meridians and entered his mind.
Crack!
In his mind, the thunder gathered again and fiercely hit the rotating soul.
Buzz!
In an instant, Fang Chen felt his mind go blank.
It was as if his soul was about to shatter.
However, at this moment, the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique was activated, and traces of lightning halo wrapped around the soul, gradually consuming the power of thunder.
At the same time, the golden heart was also beating rapidly.
It seemed to have sensed the danger Fang Chen was in and was helping him resist the terrifying thunder.
Rumble!
One after another, terrifying thunder kept hitting Fang Chen's soul.
At first, it was very difficult to resist, but later, Fang Chen was able to resist it at will.
However, he still sighed. The Soul Thunder Tribulation was too terrifying.
"Fortunately, I'm a Level 6 soul cultivator, and my soul attainments are extremely powerful."
Fang Chen sighed.
Crack!
After the last thunder was smashed by Fang Chen, the thunderclouds in the sky dissipated instantly.
Heaven and earth returned to calm, and the soul power in the soul power source was no longer boiling.
During the tribulation, Fang Chen's soul frantically absorbed soul power to replenish the consumption of his soul.
If he was not in the soul power source, it would be very difficult to pass the Soul Thunder Tribulation.
Whoosh!
Fang Chen heaved a sigh of relief and came out of the soul power source.
"Not bad." The old man grinned.
He did not even dare to think about cultivating the first level of the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique as a Mystic King.
But now, someone had done it.
If Fang Chen was in his era, he would definitely be a powerhouse.
He might even be on par with his master, the Five Thunder Dao Lord.
In the previous conversation, the old man knew Fang Chen's name.
Then, he reminded, "Fang Chen, this is only the first level of the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique. Don't be arrogant.
You must be careful. "
"Thank you for your guidance, senior." Fang Chen cupped his hands and thanked him.
Seeing this, the old man waved his hand and said, "To be able to sense the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique among the many secret techniques means that you are fated with my master.
Now that you have cultivated the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique, you can be considered half a disciple of my master. You can call me Senior Brother in the future. "
"Greetings, Senior Brother." Fang Chen smiled.
In all these years, this was the happiest the old man had been.
In the endless years of guarding the soul power source, the old man had seen countless geniuses. He had even sensed a few top-notch soul secret techniques.
However, he had never been as happy as he was now.
Since the death of his master and fellow disciples, this was the first person other than himself to obtain the recognition of the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique and cultivate it.
"Junior Brother Fang, I'm very happy." The old man placed his hands on Fang Chen's shoulders excitedly.
On this day, the old man chatted a lot with Fang Chen.
Fang Chen also learned a lot about the Five Thunder Dao Lord.
Moreover, Fang Chen learned some secrets of the universe from the old man.
The New Era.
The old man was actually a cultivator who survived from the previous era. This shocked Fang Chen too much.
It was also the first time Fang Chen heard the word "New Era".
From the old man's explanation, Fang Chen understood what "New Era" meant.
An era was ten billion years.
"What ten billion years?"
Fang Chen's heart was in turmoil.
An era was ten billion years, and the old man was a powerhouse who survived from the previous era.
What kind of cultivation realm could survive for ten billion years?
Fang Chen was shocked. He looked at the old man with a dumbfounded expression.
"Actually, there were many powerhouses who survived from the previous era. Some survived by using treasures of heaven and earth, while others used extraordinary means," the old man explained.
"For example, everyone in the Star Relic is a powerhouse who survived from the previous era. With our strength, we definitely can't survive for so long. However, the owner of the Star Relic has extraordinary means."
"The Star Relic is actually a space-type treasure. Although we have survived from the previous epoch, we are unable to leave the Star Relic and live such a boring life forever unless we are able to reach the peak of the martial way one day."
Fang Chen could hear the helplessness in the old man's words.
So what if they could survive for ten billion years?
In the end, they still couldn't transcend and would be trapped here forever without seeing the light of day.
Day after day, it was boring.
No wonder the powerhouses in the Star Relic were so lonely.
So that was the case.
Fang Chen was shocked. The Senior Brother in front of him had lived for an entire era.
Fang Chen had cultivated for less than a hundred years. Ten billion years was too long for him.
However, for those top powerhouses, it was just a snap of the fingers.
"So what if you can survive for an era? In the end, you still can't transcend." The old man sighed.
Only by transcending could one jump out of the river of time and live forever with the universe.
However, since ancient times, how many people could do it?
The vast universe was constantly being created and destroyed.
At the end of every era, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth would evolve into a natural disaster, causing the universe to enter a period of destruction.
After the universe was completely destroyed, it would enter a period of creation.
Only those powerhouses with extraordinary means or powerhouses with treasures of heaven and earth could avoid the destruction of the universe and enter the next era.
Such powerhouses were too terrifying.
Fang Chen was shocked. It seemed that his understanding of the universe was still very little.
"Of course, some powerhouses will be reincarnated before the universe is destroyed.
However, not everyone can be reincarnated successfully. "The old man continued," Some powerhouses fail in reincarnation and completely disappear.
Those who are successful in reincarnation can live for another era. "
Endless years, countless eras.
This made Fang Chen realize that in the vast universe, there should be terrifying existences who had lived for several eras.
It was only now that he recognized a corner of the universe.
