Time trickled by, and Yang Dingtian's profound energy was injected into the secret scroll bit by bit.
Ten percent progress …
Twenty percent …
Thirty percent …
…
After a full five hours, Yang Dingtian's profound energy finally completed all the profound energy routes on the secret scroll.
"Swoosh …" Then, all the profound energy returned to Yang Dingtian's body.
"Boom …" A blue flame suddenly rose from the secret scroll, and then the entire secret scroll turned into ashes.
"Clap clap clap …"
Yang Dingtian's mind suddenly lit up with a few bolts of lightning, and then he instantly entered the world of thunder attribute profound skills!
Devil Sky Split!
This thunder attribute profound skill was called Devil Sky Split, and it was divided into six levels!
First level, Mountain Split.
Second level, River Split.
Third level, Earth Split.
Fourth level, Ocean Split.
Fifth level, Heaven Split.
The sixth level was Devil Sky Split, and it was also the highest level of this thunder attribute profound skill. Obviously, its power was also extremely tyrannical!
At this moment, Yang Dingtian had only spent five hours learning the first level, Mountain Split.
…
"Clap clap clap clap …"
In the completely dark world, Yang Dingtian's consciousness stood between heaven and earth. Countless bolts of lightning struck down, and an incomparably powerful electric current drilled into his body.
Of course, this was all an illusion.
In reality, the profound energy returned from the secret scroll to his body, and started to transform Yang Dingtian's profound veins and body.
If Yang Dingtian's profound veins had thunder attribute innate talent, then it would be activated by this profound energy. Of course, if Yang Dingtian didn't have thunder attribute innate talent, then it would all be a waste of effort.
"Clap clap clap …" Countless bolts of lightning became thicker and thicker, and crazily struck Yang Dingtian.
Yang Dingtian's profound veins swelled inch by inch, changed color, and then returned to normal inch by inch.
This process was extremely painful, and also extremely dangerous.
If the profound veins' innate talent was not enough, then it was very possible that the profound veins would directly explode, and the entire person would explode and die.
So for martial artists with low innate talent, even if they obtained a high grade Profound Skill Scroll, it would be useless. Not only would they not be able to learn it, they would even lose their lives.
After another five hours, Yang Dingtian's body gradually returned to normal.
Only then did that terrifying blue color gradually fade away.
Yang Dingtian slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, his surroundings were already dark. The sky was already dark. Learning this thunder attribute profound skill, actually took an entire day.
Whether or not he had lightning talent would depend on this moment!
Yang Dingtian stared at the small tree in front of him. Yang Dingtian started to condense all the profound energy in his body and started to prepare the lightning attribute profound skill, Mountain Split!
If he had lightning talent, he would be able to strike down a bolt of lightning.
The higher one's lightning talent was, the stronger the lightning would be, and the more powerful it would be!
If he didn't have lightning talent, then of course he wouldn't have any reaction!
Yang Dingtian kept brewing …
Profound Skills and Martial Skills were different. Martial Skills could be released in an instant, but Profound Skills required a large amount of Profound Qi, which required time.
Five seconds!
Ten seconds!
Fifteen seconds!
Finally, Yang Dingtian's Profound Qi, which was sufficient to release the lightning attribute profound skill, Mountain Split, once, circulated rapidly in his entire body's Profound Veins. Yang Dingtian could release it at any time!
Whether or not he had lightning talent, would depend on this moment!
"Mountain Split!"
Yang Dingtian fiercely roared. The Profound Qi energy that he had been brewing for fifteen seconds suddenly exploded out!
"Pa …"
There wasn't much suspense left. A bolt of lightning instantly shot out from Yang Dingtian's palm.
"Bang …" The small tree in front of him was directly split into two halves and turned into a pile of charcoal, which was currently burning fiercely.
"Ah …" Yang Dingtian instantly let out a cry of ecstasy as he looked at his hands in disbelief.
I really have a lightning talent, I actually have a lightning talent! A lightning talent that is one in a million, one in ten million!
Furthermore, the first time he used a lightning attribute profound skill, he was able to directly destroy a small tree that was as thick as a bowl. It could be seen that his lightning attribute talent was extremely high.
The heavens really favored him too much. Yang Dingtian really looked at the small tree in front of him in disbelief.
Lightning attribute profound skill, this world's most precious profound skill, the most difficult profound skill to guard against!
For the other four attribute profound skills, ice and fire countered each other, wind and metal countered each other.
But for lightning attribute profound skills, there was completely no counter to them!
After his ecstasy, Yang Dingtian realised that his Profound Qi had actually been completely depleted!
This was too shocking. The Profound Qi in his entire body was actually only enough to release Mountain Split!
The Profound Qi in his entire body was actually only enough to split a small tree. This was obviously a huge waste of Profound Qi.
Obviously, this was only the first level Mountain Split, which was why there was such a huge waste of Profound Qi.
So, Yang Dingtian still had to continue comprehending and grasp the higher level Mountain Split.
This way, the power would be greater and the Profound Qi consumed would be lesser.
But how should he comprehend it?
He couldn't possibly release Mountain Split again and again right? Yang Dingtian's Profound Qi wasn't enough for such a waste.
But no matter what, he still had to first absorb Profound Qi and replenish the Profound Qi in his qi sea. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if he met with any enemies.
Instantly, Yang Dingtian sat by the side of the pool and started to absorb Profound Qi!
Of course, the Profound Qi that Yang Dingtian was absorbing now was for battle and didn't need to be completely refined. So he only needed one day and one night to fill his entire qi sea and Profound Meridians.
But this kind of Profound Qi that was filled with impurities could only be used for battle and couldn't be used to break through qi sea.
In order to break through qi sea, one had to completely refine and purify Profound Qi.
The reason why Five Elements Hall was so powerful was because the Profound Qi there was dense and pure. There was no need to refine it and it could be used to break through qi sea.
Moreover, if the Profound Qi that was filled with impurities stayed in the body for a long time, it would cause the Profound Meridians to accumulate. Then, the speed of Profound Qi breakthrough would become slower and slower until it completely stopped. One would need to undergo marrow and meridians cleansing to make the Profound Meridians unobstructed again.
Of course, Master Dongfang Minmie had already cleansed Yang Dingtian's marrow and meridians to the third level in this world of ice and snow. Calculating the time, Yang Dingtian also needed to undergo a new round of marrow and meridians cleansing. Otherwise, it might become difficult for Yang Dingtian to break through to the Martial Profound Realm.
****
Yang Dingtian gradually sank into the world of Profound Qi Absorption. His entire body and mind sunk into complete silence.
"Child …" Suddenly, an incomparably familiar and long-lost voice sounded in Yang Dingtian's mind.
Immediately, Yang Dingtian's body trembled and he immediately opened his eyes. He didn't dare to believe that he heard this voice. Then, he immediately gathered all of his attention, afraid that the call he heard just now was an illusion.
"Master, is that you?" Yang Dingtian asked with a trembling voice.
"It's me …" Dongfang Minmie said: "It's been hard on you during this period of time …"
Immediately, Yang Dingtian's eyes became hot and tears almost gushed out.
He finally heard his master Dongfang Minmie's voice again. It had already been eight months.
"Last time, in order to control that brutal Sword Spirit, my soul was almost scattered. I spent a very long time gradually gathering my shattered consciousness bit by bit. However, due to my exhaustion, I directly fell into a deep sleep.
Today, after you learned the Thunder Profound Skill, it stimulated me to wake up. "Dongfang Minmie said:" What exactly happened during the period of time I was asleep?
You actually learned the Thunder Profound Skill? "
Then, Dongfang Minmie's voice also became somewhat trembling as he said: "You're actually already a Five Star Great Profound Martial Master. How long have I been asleep?"
"Almost eight months, Master." Yang Dingtian said.
"In eight months, you broke through twenty levels and became a Five Star Great Profound Martial Master?" Dongfang Minmie said in disbelief: "How did you do it?"
Yang Dingtian: "After I finished forging the youngling sword in the Fire Cloud Devil Cave, I fell from the top quality Earth Fire Disc and discovered a Five Elements Hall Secret Realm.
In there, I went from a Five Star Profound Martial Master to a Five Star Great Profound Martial Master in ninety-eight days.
Furthermore, after passing its Hell Level Trial, I obtained a Thunder Profound Talisman and this Thunder Profound Skill Scroll. "
"Thunder Profound Skill, the first profound skill you learned was actually the one in a billion Thunder Profound Skill."
Dongfang Minmie said: "Child, now I really suspect that you were sent by the heavens. Otherwise, for you to be so lucky, even your master can't help but be a little jealous."
After joking around, Dongfang Minmie said: "Child, tell me everything that happened during the few months I was asleep."
"Yes!"
Yang Dingtian: "During the trial by duel in Cloud Heaven City, after I defeated Qin Shaobai, I was forced by Ximen Ju to once again use the brutal Sword Spirit in the Night Owl Greatsword. It almost caused master's soul to scatter and you fell into a deep sleep.
And I almost died from the backlash of the Sword Spirit.
It was Yanyan who went through untold hardships to bring me to the Netherworld Sea … "
Following that, Yang Dingtian told Dongfang Minmie everything that happened in the past eight months.
After talking for half an hour, Yang Dingtian finally finished telling him everything.
"Child, it's really been hard on you. Yanyan is a good child, much better than Dongfang Bingling. She's the most suitable wife for you." Dongfang Minmie said: "Master will accompany you through the following difficulties."
"Good …" Yang Dingtian's heart was suddenly filled with excitement.
"Child, what do you plan to do next?" Dongfang Minmie asked.
Yang Dingtian: "My ship was destroyed by the demonic woman Dugu Fengwu, so I will wait for a ship to pass by and bring me to the Northwest Continent.
Then, I will think of a way to go to Cloud Heaven City to obtain the third rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art. I will strive to break through to the Martial Mystic Realm within a month.
Then, I will look for the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame.
There are still eight months before the martial arts contest in Cloud Heaven City. Ximen Ju will be my greatest opponent. I have to at least break through to the advanced Martial Ancestor Realm before I can fight with him.
Learning the third rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art and refining the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame are my two greatest chances to break through! "
"Child, how do you plan to go to Cloud Heaven City to obtain the third rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art?" Dongfang Minmie asked.
Yang Dingtian went silent for a moment and said, "I plan to go to Cloud Heaven City as a Hidden Sect disciple, Nameless, and directly ask for the third rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art. Also, I don't know if Sister Ningning fell into the hands of Yang Yan and the others. I want to see what happened to her."
