Chapter 1967: Chapter 1966 Martial Way Insights After the Nine Heavy Sky Thunders

Nine Heavy Sky Thunders, the first heavenly thunder, tests Lin Dong’s Skin Gift of the flesh.

If Lin Dong’s Skin Gift is not strong enough, he will be annihilated by this heavenly thunder.

”Boom!”

A red heavenly thunder struck Lin Dong’s skin, and instantly a black smoke rose from it.

”He’s doomed, already charred to ashes,” Adam said.

He couldn’t help but feel a little regret, a pity they couldn’t capture him alive.

However, at that moment, a radiance emitted from Lin Dong’s body, and when it faded, the charred skin had disappeared.

”What is this? How come the thunders in the formation didn’t kill him?” Adam rubbed his eyes, full of disbelief.

Besides him, everyone else looked equally puzzled.

”That thunder can kill Stage Five Grandmasters. How did it not kill him?”

”The thunder this formation sends down varies for each person. The one that could kill a Stage Five Grandmaster was as thick as a child’s arm, naturally powerful. While the thunder aimed at this Alchemy League’s Uncle, though also immensely powerful, was clearly different.”

”To withstand the power of the formation’s thunder, this Uncle of the Alchemy League is truly extraordinary.”

”...”

Qin Feng also frowned, watching everything within the formation, unable to comprehend it.

The workings of formations were indeed beyond his knowledge.

At this moment, the second heavenly thunder descended.

This was a blood-red heavenly thunder, stronger than the previous one.

And it aimed to destroy the martial artist’s blood.

”Boom!”

After the blood-red thunder struck Lin Dong’s body, he immediately felt as if his blood was about to boil.

If his Blood Gift was not strong enough, this thunder would directly catalyze the blood, causing it to burst out of his body.

Fortunately, his Blood Gift was powerful, and the infinite life force within his blood.

The destructive force of the lightning was insufficient to destroy his blood, not enough to cause it to burst from his body.

Though some areas like his nose and eyes bled a bit, Lin Dong was not seriously harmed.

”What on earth is happening? Why can’t even this ancient formation’s thunder kill him?” Adam said, clenching his fists in frustration.

Everyone else was also staring in dazed silence.

”Boom boom boom～～～”

In the following ten minutes or so, seven more heavenly thunders descended.

These seven thunders respectively tested Lin Dong’s Flesh and Bone Talent, Flesh and Meridian Talent, Inner Cultivation Talent of the Flesh, Spiritual Power Talent, Bloodline Talent, Tao Comprehension Gift, and Tao Heart Gift.

If Lin Dong had one talent not strong enough, he would have been killed by the thunders.

Yet Lin Dong ultimately persevered through it all!

The Nine Heavy Sky Thunders had not killed him.

Furthermore, after enduring the Nine Heavy Sky Thunders, Lin Dong gained new insights.

Such as, about the Skin Gift of the flesh.

Many martial artists might think, why should a martial artist train the skin?

Shouldn’t a martial artist refine the flesh and train in various lethal martial arts instead?

But at this moment, Lin Dong had different insights.

”If the skin is gone, where will the hair attach? How will the internal organs exist?”

If a martial artist’s skin is not strong, where will the hair attach to? How will the internal organs exist?

The skin is the first line of defense for the body, its strength dictates the body’s overall resilience.

Therefore, it’s of paramount importance!

Additionally, Lin Dong also had new insights about refining blood and flesh.

”To train the body is to train the character, to refine the blood is to first refine the heart.”

Training the blood and flesh is integral with the internal organs.

The heart controls the body’s entire blood, if the heart is not strong, how can the blood be vigorous? How can it be powerful?

Regarding mental power, Lin Dong also had significant insights.

Previously, he always thought mental power was innate; some people are born with strong mental power and extraordinary willpower.

Or that it could grow stronger as one’s martial arts realm progressed.

But now he realized, there are many cultivation methods for mental power too.

”Hold the yuan and guard the one, let the spirit wander in the void.”

Through meditation, one can strengthen mental power.

”The heart moves with intention, intention follows the Qi.”

When mental power is strong enough, one can use willpower to control actions, manipulate objects.

Moreover, cultivating mental power is not limited to meditation.

One can also use some external substances to temper it, such as the Nine Heavy Sky Thunders just now, which tempered Lin Dong’s mental power, made his willpower stronger, and naturally enhanced his mental power significantly.

Besides, consuming certain external items can also increase mental power. However, most external items temporarily boost mental power.

That’s why some people feel energized after drinking tea, but soon their mental power fades and they become fatigued again.

”It seems your insight into mental power has reached a new level.” At this moment, the Sovereign Witch and Lin Dong were spiritually connected, their mental powers intertwined.

Therefore, Lin Dong’s thoughts were known to the Sovereign Witch at this moment.

Upon realizing Lin Dong’s insights into mental power had ascended to another level, she hesitated whether to tell him deeper layers of information about mental power.

These things, even in ancient times, were scarcely known.

Because even in ancient times, those who specialized in cultivating mental power were few and far between.

Lin Dong couldn’t help but ask, ”Senior Sovereign Witch, it seems you have something to say?”

The Sovereign Witch pondered for a moment, deciding to tell Lin Dong.

”Kid, do you know that mental power can be cultivated just like the Martial Way? Furthermore, to my knowledge, in ancient times, there was even a division of realms for it,” the Sovereign Witch said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong was shocked and quickly asked curiously, ”Mental power also has systematic cultivation methods? And realm divisions?”

”This mental power, unseen, intangible, so mysterious, how can it be divided into realms?”

The Sovereign Witch pondered and said, ”In ancient times, there were very few people who specialized in mental power cultivation.”

”I once encountered some of these people and also read some ancient books on the subject.”

”It is said that mental power is divided into one to one hundred stages!”

”Every ten stages are a threshold. Once you cross this, you can use mental power to achieve things ordinary martial artists cannot.”

”For example, a normal person’s mental power, staying up all night would make them mentally fatigued, such mental power can only be considered a first-order in the mental power realm!”

”Some might even be too weak, feeling lack of energy with slight movement, or due to severe sickness, mental decline, or being elderly... These people might not even reach the first-order in mental power.”

”With the strength of a Martial Arts Master, martial artists can stay awake for three days and nights, precisely because their mental power grows stronger with martial arts cultivation. These people’s mental power realm is about the third-order.”

”Upon reaching the level of a martial arts master, mental power can reach the eighth-order!”

”For Earth Realm martial artists, they can use mental power to suppress others, their mental power has surpassed the first threshold in the mental power realm, which is external release. These people’s mental power is above the tenth-order.”

Lin Dong was very curious to hear all this and asked, ”Then, Senior Sovereign Witch, may I ask what level my mental power is at now?”
