241: Tianjiao Palace, comprehending the Five-Wheel Thunder and Fire Method

“The demonized you?!” Chu Jiang said quietly.

“Little friend, you are exceptionally clever!”

“My life is irreversible, but the Demon Pú Tree is about to be reborn, becoming an unparalleled demonic tree.”

Its harm is unimaginable.

This is also why he fought desperately for thousands of years; once the Demon Pú Tree completely demonizes his main body, it will undergo astonishing evolution and accelerate the deterioration of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

“How can I kill it?!” Chu Jiang asked.

Since the Jianmu Divine Tree said so, there must be a certain possibility of killing this Pú Demon Tree; otherwise, it wouldn't have asked him.

“My main body and the Pú Demon Tree are completely fused. It will have a period of weakness. Its bane is exotic thunder, and you happen to have the Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder. Coupled with the Thunder Divine Ability in the Legacy crystal, the probability of killing it is as high as seventy percent!”

“The prerequisite is that you can comprehend that Thunder Divine Ability!”

Chu Jiang raised an eyebrow: “What about the other thirty percent?”

“The other thirty percent lies with the person who just escaped. To completely refine me, he made thorough preparations and will send strong cultivators to guard it after it enters its weak period!”

“In this third layer, there is also a demon named Sha Tianjun, Earth-Grade Tenth Layer, who has been subdued by the Demon Pú Tree!”

“Only by defeating Sha Tianjun first, and quickly, can you kill the Pú Demon Tree before it fully fuses!”

Chu Jiang’s eyes lit up; there was another demon.

Moreover, trees generally have a very long Lifespan. For ancient trees like the Pú Demon Tree and the Jianmu Divine Tree, if they don't fall due to an accident, their Lifespan usually starts at ten thousand years.

“Before I fall into complete slumber, I will give my all to boost your strength as much as possible, little friend!” the Jianmu Divine Tree said again.

“Alright!”

Chu Jiang nodded.

The Jianmu Divine Tree, for thousands of years, protected the Human Race, which is why it was injured by the Demon King and ended up in its current state.

Swish!

A green leaf transformed from the Void Realm into a small boat, carrying everyone into the inner world of the Jianmu Divine Tree.

The inner world of the Jianmu Divine Tree seemed to have evolved many stars, but now they were all extinguished.

This place was filled with a large amount of calamity Qi, and its concentration was several times higher than the outside world; even a Divine Power Realm cultivator would find it hard to escape death if they touched it.

The small boat, formed from the green leaf, moved as if on flat ground, and the calamity Qi in its path receded.

From time to time, Heaven and Earth Vicious Beasts formed from calamity Qi tried to block the boat's advance, but the boat emitted green light, crushing and shattering even various Vicious Beasts.

Fu Yunxuan and the others on board were once again shocked; just a single green leaf possessed such power, enough to glimpse how strong the Jianmu Divine Tree was in its prime.

Finally, an ancient hall stood in the boundless Void Realm, appearing before everyone's eyes.

Although the ancient hall was rusty, it was remarkably well-preserved.

The ancient hall was incredibly vast, with a half-decayed plaque hanging above it, cast in bronze, bearing various marks of time.

Three large characters were faintly visible: “Prodigy Hall.”

The Jianmu Divine Tree transformed into a young man, appearing at the ancient hall's entrance, introducing the Prodigy Hall to everyone.

This was a Legacy left by Human Race powerhouses on the Jianmu Divine Tree five thousand years ago, because the Jianmu Divine Tree's life force was so strong that it was almost impossible to eradicate.

“Senior, have you seen Ye Lingkong?” Chu Jiang suddenly asked. Besides seeking Treasure Troves, the most important reason he entered the third layer was that Ye Lingkong was also trapped here.

But he had searched all the way and hadn't seen him.

“I have, when my body was controlled by the Demon Pú Tree. He had great Luck on him and Broke Through to Transcendent in the third layer, then disappeared!”

The Jianmu Divine Tree said.

“Disappeared again?”

Chu Jiang frowned deeply.

He must have left the third layer, but he didn't know where he went. After all, this third layer was full of dangers, and anything could happen.

Could he have already left the Great Chu Dynasty?

Otherwise, there was no reason for him not to return to the Demon Suppression Division, and his soul tablet was still lit, indicating he wasn't dead.

Just as Chu Jiang was deep in thought.

The ancient hall rumbled, and a Legacy crystal appeared in the vast ancient hall.

“Next, I will open the Legacy crystal. Everyone can comprehend it. If you can comprehend the Dao, consider it your Opportunity!”

The Jianmu Divine Tree said.

This Legacy crystal contained a complete minor Divine Ability, which could only be opened once and would completely dissipate after a certain period.

It was the Five-Wheeled Thunder Fire Method, a Divine Ability that used exotic Heaven and Earth Thunder as its guide. If one could collect five types of exotic thunder, its power would be no less than that of ancient great Divine Abilities.

The Jianmu Divine Tree did not hold out much hope for others to comprehend this Divine Ability; the only one who might comprehend it was Chu Jiang.

He could tell at a glance that Chu Jiang's talent was not particularly good, even inferior to his subordinates, but he possessed the Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder and had a Faxiang Realm Cultivation at such a young age.

He must have a great Opportunity.

Sometimes, Luck was also very important for comprehending Divine Abilities.

Everyone stared intently at the Legacy crystal, understanding that it must contain an immense Opportunity, and each began to meditate.

“Valley Master, our Opportunity has arrived!”

The Slender-faced Elder said in surprise. The hardships they had endured earlier were all worth it. If they could comprehend the unparalleled Treasure Trove of the Legacy crystal…

Just thinking about it made him excited!

Jin She Lan, Valley Master's eyes also glowed, staring intently at the Legacy crystal.

Since both were bound by iron chains, they could only struggle to move their bodies.

“What Opportunity? You're dreaming!”

“Throw them out!”

Fu Yunxuan's eyes turned cold, and with a wave of her jade hand, several Demon Suppression Guard members immediately lifted the two and headed out of the ancient hall.

“What are you doing?!”

“Didn't you hear Senior say that everyone has the right to comprehend?!”

The Slender-faced Elder roared in anger, but it was useless. He could only watch as they moved further and further from the Legacy crystal, then were casually thrown out of the ancient hall, tumbling down the ancient hall's steps and rolling several hundred steps.

Their bodies were covered in blood and gore.

Now.

Forget the Legacy crystal, they couldn't even see the old plaque.

“Ah… damn it!”

Jin She Lan, Valley Master was also enraged, having lost a great Opportunity.

…

“Begin!”

As the Jianmu Divine Tree's deep voice echoed in the vast hall, a mysterious power began to surge in the air.

The Legacy crystal suddenly shattered at this moment, countless sparkling fragments scattering like stars, yet slowly re-condensing in mid-air, forming five ancient characters:

“Five-Wheeled Thunder Fire Method!”

Each of these five characters seemed to contain the mysteries of Heaven and Earth. They slowly rotated in the air, emitting a faint golden light.

Each character seemed to come alive, beginning to pulsate with a strange rhythm, as if narrating an ancient Cultivation method.

Everyone stared intently at the five ancient characters in mid-air, trying to comprehend an unparalleled Divine Ability from them.

But most people were utterly bewildered.

They saw the ancient characters but couldn't grasp their meaning.

Chu Jiang merely glanced at them and silently opened his panel.

“Year 1: You begin to comprehend the true meaning of the Five-Wheeled Thunder Fire Method word by word. Because you have mastered a large number of Transcendent martial arts, you have your own understanding of the Dao of martial arts.”

“Year 10: From the character 'Five', you comprehend three hundred characters, but they form no system and you completely fail to understand their purpose.”

“Year 80: You comprehend the first operational meridian from the character 'Five'. You are very excited and continue to comprehend.”

“Year 200: You fully comprehend the true meaning of the character 'Five'. You feel that complete Epiphany is not very difficult for you.”

“Year 300: You begin to comprehend the character 'Wheeled'. After a full hundred years, you only obtain scattered content. You begin to doubt life, wondering why you should continue to comprehend; it's simply a waste of time. Body Cultivation Techniques are so simple; just go all out and it's done.”

Chu Jiang's face darkened, and he decisively chose to continue.

“Year 400: You skip the second ancient character and directly comprehend the third character, 'Thunder'. Strangely, you comprehend this character as if aided by a deity. In just fifty years, you comprehend all the Cultivation methods. The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and you felt capable again, exclaiming that you are an unparalleled Genius.”

“Year 500: You begin to use the inverse deduction method, combining the scattered content of the character 'Wheeled' to deduce the complete true meaning of the character 'Wheeled'. This time, you truly believe that you have never been so talented.”

“Year 700: You comprehend 'Fire' and 'Method' in one go. All the content of the Five-Wheeled Thunder Fire Method now appears before you.”

“Year 800: You organize all the content, but you quickly fall into thought. These five heavenly characters have become countless heavenly characters. You recognize all of them, but when put together, you don't know what nonsense they are saying.”

“Your brain crashes. One-third of the content consists of neutral terms, which can be interpreted in one hundred and eight different ways.”

“Year 900: You rely solely on your intuition, disregarding everything else, and forcefully eliminate one hundred and seven possibilities.”

“Year 1000: You begin to Cultivate what you believe to be the complete Five-Wheeled Thunder Fire Method. As a result, you immediately vomit blood upon Cultivating it. As expected, your forceful elimination method failed.”

“Year 1200: You try to clear your thoughts, searching for the correct Five-Wheeled Thunder Fire Method from one hundred and eight versions. Your brain is in extreme confusion, your face contorted, sometimes Silly Joy, sometimes staring blankly at the sky.”

“Year 2000: Continue to push hard.”

“Year 5000: Your eyes are bloodshot.”

“Year 9000: You are still diligently studying.”

“Year 10,000: Through countless days and nights, you painstakingly analyze and eliminate each possibility. You have vomited blood, been crippled, but never given up. A true man just does it; miracles come from brute force. You successfully comprehend the Five-Wheeled Thunder Fire Method.”

“Year 30,000: You successfully integrate the Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder into the Divine Ability, Five-Wheeled Thunder Fire Method, taking a crucial step.”

“The Five-Wheeled Thunder Fire Method is officially initiated.”

…

Chu Jiang opened his eyes, and an indescribable change occurred in his body.

The Five-Wheeled Thunder Fire Method was complete!
