At Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, Saint Mountain...
It was one of the mountains in the sacred ground that had the most Spirit Qi.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground would have a new Saint every century, and he would be entitled to cultivate on the Saint Mountain for 90 years.
After these 90 years, the Saint would be considered a former Saint, and the mountain would be waiting for his new owner.
It had been eight years since the last Saint had left the Saint Mountain. By right, a new Saint should be coming in another two more years.
The Sacred Leader was indecisive between Zhang Yunting and Fang Chang before as the former one had more popularity, while the latter was stronger.
However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the new owner of the mountain was Shen Tian—someone with no popularity and not powerful enough.
Shen Tian knew that others would not accept him as the Saint easily, so he had been extremely careful these few days.
The moment he entered Saint Mountain, he activated the Lightning Array Formation on the mountain for protection.
When it was activated, not a single thing could enter the mountain without Shen Tian’s permission.
After activating the formation, Shen Tian entered seclusion for half a month, and with his two weeks of hard work, his strength improved tremendously.
The sky was colorful on Saint Mountain’s peak. An Immortal Temple was located on the peak, and before it was an Enlightenment Stone, on which Shen Tian was seated with closed eyes. At the same time, five-colored lightning surrounded his body.
The golden lightning marking on his forehead was glowing brightly as though it was going to jump out any moment.
Shen Tian quickly conjured the five Divine Lightnings with the shining marking.
White VII Divine Lightning (Metal), Azure I Divine Lightning (Wood), Black IX Divine Lightning (Water), Red III Divine Lightning (Fire), and Yellow V Divine Lightning (Earth).
The five different colors of lightning covered Shen Tian’s body like armor. Frankly speaking, he would look extremely powerful without the five little avatars floating behind him.
They were the avatars of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Crimson Phoenix, Black Tortoise, and Mighty Qilin. However, they all had one thing in common—their small size!
Due to the First Essence Heavy Water, the Black Tortoise was the largest among the five of them.
The Black Tortoise avatar had the size of a cooking pot and was the only normal-looking avatar he had.
Shen Tian felt very helpless when looking at the remaining avatars—a tiny azure snake, a little white cat, a small yellow dog, and a harmless chick with flames.
Shen Tian started doubting his life when all the five avatars appeared after secluding himself for half a month.
Are they really the legendary creatures? Especially this White Tiger! Zhang Yunxi’s tiger is much larger than mine! Why is mine so small!?
“So far, I’ve mastered the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique’s Black Tortoise IX Divine Lightning. As for the other four Divine Lightnings, I’ve reached Greater Mastery.”
Shen Tian sat on the Enlightenment Stone and focused.
This stone was a treasure on the Saint Mountain, and it could help cultivators who sat on it greatly.
Shen Tian took a deep breath and started his training,
He had reached the 9th Firmament of Qi Refinement now. It was time for him to forge the Mixed Five Elements’ Dharmic foundation with his complete Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique.
As long as Shen Tian succeeded and engraved Dharmic runes on his Dharmic foundation, he could convert Divinity into Dharmic powers.
Then, Shen Tian could generate Spiritual Power and use Sword Kinesis Flight by then.
As a fan of sword-fantasy novels, Shen Tian was very interested in Sword Kinesis Flight.
Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao stood beside the Enlightenment Stone and guarded Shen Tian cautiously while chatting away.
“Uncle Gui, how many Spirit Stones do you think our Saint will spend this time?”
“Who knows? My guess is that it won’t be less than 10,000 Spirit Stones!”
They were shocked by the amount of Spirit Stones Shen Tian had spent over the past two weeks.
Due to the Mixed Divine Lightning Origin’s help, Shen Tian’s Qi Refinement breakthrough had been very smooth.
He had only spent tens of thousands of Spirit Stones to reach the 9th Firmament of Qi Refinement.
Most importantly, many true disciples could not produce an avatar even at Foundation Establishment, while Shen Tian managed to gather all the avatars.
Even Eunuch Gui’s Cosmos II Divine Lightning (Wood) and Qin Gao’s Soaring Snake IV (Fire) were not even close to producing an avatar.
Although Shen Tian had used tons of Spirit Stones to cultivate, his speed was indeed very fast.
Of course, Qi Refinement was not the main cost for Shen Tian. What was very costly was the Tinder Sutra.
The cost of this cultivation technique was way beyond imagination. Shen Tian was only at the 9th Firmament of Body Tempering, and he had already spent 100,000 Spirit Stones.
A normal cultivator from an average family could never afford to be like him.
Naturally, all the money he had spent was not for nothing.
After Shen Tian had maxed the body tempering of Tinder Sutra, his body was much stronger now.
His strength, speed, agility, and defense were much better than before. Now, if Shen Tian used his full strength, his speed could even match with Eunuch Gui’s Demon Book of Hyuga.
Although he was not at the Foundation Establishment yet, with the Five Elements Divine Lightnings and body tempering arts he had, he could even win a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!
However, Shen Tian still felt that he was not strong enough,
He was at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground now, where even Golden Core cultivators were nothing here!
Shen Tian cleared his mind and started cultivating again.
The divine lightnings were activated in his body and circulated into his dantian. All the five avatars rushed into Shen Tian’s body too.
He was trying to form his own Dharmic foundation with the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique.
As time passed, the Spirit Stones below the Enlightenment Stone were losing their luster, but Shen Tian was getting stronger.
Finally, Shen Tian reached the peak in power, and a three-inch golden altar appeared in his dantian. The altar was crystal clear, and there were five avatars imprinted on it. The Five Elemental Yin-Yang Mixed Divine Lightning was sparkling around the altar too.
This Dharmic foundation was really something!
What great power!
Shen Tian took a deep breath.
He felt that his body was not the same anymore and could feel the surroundings even with his eyes closed.
It was the manifestation of Spiritual Power! It was not about the five senses anymore!
Simultaneously, after his Dharmic foundation was formed, the marking on his forehead started to change.
The Mixed Divine Lightning that was ranked 88th on the Divine Lightning List was obeying him now!
