61: Chapter 61 Breakthrough, Sixth Level of Divine Travel Realm!

Xia Jin watched Princess Jiang Rou turn and leave. He sat down cross-legged, slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and thought to himself:

"System, extract the mission rewards."

[Command confirmed. Congratulations to the host for successfully extracting the mission rewards: Shenxiao Lightning Technique (Entry-Level) and four hundred years of cultivation!]

A stream of profound information instantly flooded Xia Jin's mind; it was the cultivation method for the "Shenxiao Lightning Technique."

"System, use one hundred years of cultivation to deduce the Shenxiao Lightning Technique!" Xia Jin gave the command without the slightest hesitation.

Lightning techniques focused on offensive power, and even legendary Earthly Immortal powerhouses might not necessarily be able to master this method!

If he could master the Shenxiao Lightning Technique, then within the Spirit Wandering Realm, he would be considered invincible in terms of pure offensive power!

[Command confirmed. Consuming one hundred years of cultivation to deduce the Shenxiao Lightning Technique...]

In an instant, Xia Jin felt his mind being pulled into a mysterious deduction space.

"In the first year, you devoted yourself to studying the introductory chapter of the Shenxiao Lightning Technique, gaining insights into the true meaning of lightning. Initially, you could only barely sense tiny electrical sparks in the air."

"In the thirtieth year, your perception and control of lightning took a qualitative leap. On this day, during meditation, you summoned a lightning pillar the thickness of a palm. Although it only lasted for a moment, you have officially cultivated the Shenxiao Lightning Technique to the Minor Achievement stage!"

"In the seventieth year, you have attempted many times to divide your mind and control multiple bolts of lightning simultaneously. After countless failures, you finally succeeded in commanding three lightning snakes as easily as your own arms. At this moment, the Shenxiao Lightning Technique has reached a high level, entering the Major Achievement stage!"

"In the hundredth year, your understanding of lightning has reached the Transcendent stage. While sitting in stillness, the lightning light around your body is restrained. With a slight thought, you can transform it into lightning surrounding yourself, or gather it into a world-breaking thunderbolt. Thus, the Shenxiao Lightning Technique has finally reached the Great Perfection stage!"

The deduction ended, and his consciousness returned.

Xia Jin suddenly opened his eyes, and in the depths of his pupils, a flash of deep blue lightning seemed to pass by.

"The Shenxiao Lightning Technique has finally reached Great Perfection!"

Xia Jin extended his right palm, and three lightning balls the size of eggs silently emerged.

The fluctuations emitted by those three lightning balls made even him, their controller, feel a strong sense of threat.

"As expected of a Divine Ability produced by the System! Otherwise, even if this Prince steps into the legendary Land Immortal Realm in the future, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to touch such a lightning technique!" Xia Jin's face showed uncontrollable ecstasy.

The power contained in any one of these three lightning balls was enough to easily severely wound an expert below the fifth level of the Spirit Wandering Realm!

Xia Jin squeezed hard, and the three lightning balls immediately turned back into arcs of light that merged into his body.

Outside the secret chamber, Leng Yuexi, who had just become a bit drowsy, was suddenly startled awake by a clap of thunder.

She suddenly sat up and looked out the window, but the sky outside was still bright with stars. Where was there any sign of rain?

"Strange... during this winter season, how could there be a sound like thunder? Could I have misheard?" Leng Yuexi shook her head, thinking it was just an illusion. She lay back down, slowly closed her eyes, and continued to rest.

Inside the secret chamber, Xia Jin slowly calmed his excited mood and glanced at the remaining three hundred years of cultivation reward on the System panel.

"System, use the remaining three hundred years of cultivation to fully deduce the Nine Turns Creation Sutra!" he thought to himself again.

[Command confirmed. Consuming three hundred years of cultivation to deduce the Nine Turns Creation Sutra...]

"In the first year, you focused your mind on internal vision. The Divine Soul in your Sea of Consciousness sat cross-legged just like your Physical Body. You circulated the Nine Turns Creation Sutra and began to temper this Divine Soul, making it more solid and powerful."

"In the fiftieth year, under continuous tempering, your Divine Soul has grown from about a foot tall to about one foot three inches. The golden light throughout its body has become purer, with a faint purple spiritual charm surrounding it. At the same time, the Nine Turns Creation Sutra successfully broke through to the sixth layer of the fourth turn! You have advanced from the first level of the Spirit Wandering Realm to the second level!"

"In the one hundred and fiftieth year, with the infusion of a large amount of cultivation, your Divine Soul's height broke through to two feet! The Nine Turns Creation Sutra used this to break through to the seventh layer of the fourth turn! Your Realm jumped continuously, climbing from the second level of the Spirit Wandering Realm all the way to the fourth level!"

"In the three hundredth year, based on the two-foot height, your Divine Soul continued to grow steadily, finally stabilizing at a height of two feet three inches. The Nine Turns Creation Sutra successfully broke through to the eighth layer of the fourth turn! Your martial arts Realm finally settled at the sixth level of the Spirit Wandering Realm!"

"Deduction ended."

The moment the deduction ended, a pressure several times stronger than before spread out from Xia Jin as the center. Although he immediately restrained it, many dense cracks appeared on the floor of the entire secret chamber.

Xia Jin let out a long sigh of relief, the joy in his eyes completely irrepressible.

Sixth level of the Spirit Wandering Realm! Great Perfection stage Shenxiao Lightning Technique!

Now, facing any existence below the Land Immortal Realm, he could be completely fearless!

Xia Jin pushed open the stone door of the secret chamber and saw Leng Yuexi lying on her side on the soft couch by the window, already fast asleep.

His steps were extremely light as he walked to the bedside. He did not wake her, but just sat quietly by her side.

As his gaze fell on her face, Xia Jin's expression couldn't help but become complex.

He hadn't expected that this trip to Fenglin would actually give him an additional Princess Consort.

However, this seemed quite good.

After all, in his previous time, he seemed to have always focused on cultivation and the strengthening of Great Xia. He rarely considered himself.

Seemingly smelling the faint fragrance on Leng Yuexi's body, his state of mind became incredibly peaceful. A wave of sleepiness hit him, and Xia Jin fell asleep without realizing it.

...

Early the next morning,

When Xia Jin opened his eyes, he saw a pair of eyes filled with smiles staring at him.

"Did Husband sleep well last night?" Leng Yuexi asked with a smile.

"Naturally, it was very good." Xia Jin stood up and patted Leng Yuexi's cheek. "With you by my side, I slept more peacefully than any night in many years."

"Husband certainly knows how to talk. Let's go! Let's go have breakfast!" Leng Yuexi pulled Xia Jin and walked outside.

Half an hour later, deep in a mountain range eight hundred miles from the capital of Fenglin Kingdom.

Leng Yuexi and Princess Jiang Rou both looked at Xia Jin with eager eyes.

"Husband, where is the thing you said you'd show us yesterday?" Leng Yuexi asked somewhat urgently.

Xia Jin smiled slightly. Instead of answering directly, he raised his hand and pointed toward an especially steep, towering mountain peak in front of them.

"Look there, don't blink."

The two women followed his instructions and stared intently at the mountain peak.

They saw Xia Jin slowly raise his right hand, pressing his index and middle fingers together, and casually pointed toward the sky above.

However, the moment his fingertips pointed out, the originally cloudless sky suddenly darkened, and even a patch of pitch-black dark clouds appeared.

"Boom!!!"

The world suddenly lost its color!
