Chapter 47: The Blazing Thunder Technique

If an outer sect disciple were to exhibit twenty-seven principles of the blazing thunder technique’s power, it wouldn’t be considered extraordinary.

After all, the basic requirement for the inner sect examination was the Fifth Layer of Innate realm and minor achievement in the cultivation of immortal arts.

However, if Gu Qingfeng, demonstrated this ability, it would certainly be surprising.

Li Ziheng, realizing something, accused, “You dare to secretly learn our Cloudy Rosy Heaven Sect’s immortal arts!”

“How can you say that?”

Gu Qingfeng stood quietly, his face calm like a gentle spring breeze, with a casual smile: “How have I secretly learned immortal arts?”

“The Blazing Thunder Technique is a creation of our sect’s founding ancestor, not to be cultivated by non-sect members. You’ve been with the Cloudy Rosy Heaven Sect for barely a few days and only became an outer sect disciple three days ago. How could you have cultivated the Blazing Thunder Technique to minor achievement without prior secret learning?”

“Elder Li, I taught Gu Qingfeng the blazing thunder technique three days ago, and I can testify to that,” Fei Kui stepped forward and truthfully replied.

“Hmph! Fei Kui! What do you mean? Are you saying he cultivated the blazing thunder technique to a minor achievement in just three days? Ridiculous! What a big joke!”

Fei Kui did not respond this time, his usual humble smile replaced by incredulity, for he also couldn’t understand how Gu Qingfeng managed to cultivate the blazing thunder technique to a minor achievement. To say it happened in three days… was impossible, an unachievable feat for anyone…

But if it was said that Gu Qingfeng had previously practiced the blazing thunder technique, that seemed unlikely too.

If that was the case, why would Huo De ask him to deliver these techniques and secret manuals to Gu Qingfeng? It would be unnecessary.

Unfathomable! Truly unfathomable.

Gu Qingfeng looked at Li Ziheng and smiled: “The blazing thunder technique, a simple spell, what’s so surprising about cultivating it to a minor achievement in three days?”

“Ha ha ha! A simple spell? Cultivated to a minor achievement in three days? What an arrogant claim!” Li Ziheng laughed out loud, staring angrily at Gu Qingfeng, his face fierce, and shouted furiously: “Do you dare claim you truly used only three days to cultivate the blazing thunder technique to a minor achievement?”

“Why wouldn’t I dare?”

Dressed in white surpassing snow, Gu Qingfeng stood with his hands behind his back, his posture as upright as a lonely peak or a solitary sword. His expression was calm, neither sad nor happy, just casually indifferent. His dark eyes were as still as a silent sea, a stillness so profound it seemed nothing, not even the collapsing heavens, could disturb.

“A minor achievement is nothing; even a major achievement would be the same.”

Hearing the mention of a major achievement, Li Ziheng laughed even harder and angrier: “major achievement?! You?”

“Yes, me.”

“A failed Foundation Establishment cultivator dares to boast in front of me, truly unaware of life and death, even saying ‘a major achievement’? Ha ha ha! Such ignorance and fearlessness, ridiculous to the extreme…”

Before he finished speaking, Gu Qingfeng slightly raised his hand, and with a flick of his fingers, a blazing thunderbolt appeared in the air, the blazing thunder technique, also two meters long. However, this blazing thunderbolt contained thirty-six principles of blaze and thunder power.

Thirty-six principles of blazing thunder… This was major achievement.

Heavens!

Forty-five principles of blazing thunder.

“How much do you really know about the path of immortality and immortal arts?”

As he spoke, Gu Qingfeng raised his hand and released another Blazing Thunder Technique. This bolt, exploding in the air, astonishingly contained fifty-four principles of blazing thunder.

“You…”

Li Ziheng’s face turned iron blue, ugly with rage, pointing at Gu Qingfeng, his eyes bulging with fury.

Fei Xue, standing beside, also deeply furrowed her brows, looking on in shock and suspicion.

She was not the only one surprised; Elder Ren De was also taken aback.

How this young man managed to unleash fifty-four principles of blazing thunder, they did not know, nor did they believe the possibility of it being achieved in three days. But at this point, it didn’t matter anymore. Even if it wasn’t in three days, even if he had previously cultivated it, being able to reach this level at such a young age was enough to prove his extraordinary talent and perception.

Although the Blazing Thunder Technique was a basic immortal art of the Cloudy Rosy Heaven Sect and a compulsory one, mastering any immortal art was easy to start but hard to perfect. A young man in his early twenties who could unleash fifty-four principles of blazing thunder was rare, not just in the outer sect but also in the inner sect.

“This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!”

Li Ziheng, grinding his teeth in anger, pointed at Gu Qingfeng and shouted: “He must have stealthily learned it before!”

Gu Qingfeng scoffed lightly, speaking indifferently: “The world is vast and profound, and your ignorance is not a concern. But you must learn to respect. I’ve said before, there are no absolutes in this world. Your ignorance only shows your own lack of knowledge. It’s sad and laughable that despite cultivating for over two hundred years, your perspective is so narrow and your mind so impetuous.”

“How dare you!” Li Ziheng immediately roared in anger, standing up and shouting: “You dare to disrespect an elder!”

Gu Qingfeng looked at him, just looked, with a smile: “If you respect me, I’ll respect you. If you don’t, why should I? What about you is worthy of my respect? Speak, and if I find it satisfactory, I’ll respect you.”

“You!”

Li Ziheng was infuriated, his face turning crimson with anger, his mouth twitching uncontrollably. Faced with the unusually calm Gu Qingfeng, he wanted to teach him a lesson, but he did not, not because he dared not, but because he could not. After all, this was the trial field and a serious place. There were many disciples around, and most importantly, Elder Ren De was present.

The examination continued, with the last stage being the Dragon Gate.

This stage tested the resilience of the heart.

It was neither difficult nor easy; perseverance was key.

For Gu Qingfeng, this was child’s play, and he easily passed.

With that, the examination ended.

Gu Qingfeng was successfully promoted to an inner sect disciple.

Even though Li Ziheng was unwilling and resentful, he had no choice but to agree.

Fei Xue, too, was unwilling, but more so, she was filled with doubt and disbelief. She never expected Gu Qingfeng to take part in the inner sect examination, let alone pass it. The pure spiritual energy, the Blazing Thunder Technique containing fifty-four principles of blazing thunder, all of these left her in doubt.

Of course, doubt did not mean acceptance. The fact remained that Gu Qingfeng had become an inner sect disciple, and there was nothing she could do about it.

“Gu Qingfeng, don’t think that becoming an inner sect disciple means you’ve earned my approval. Let me tell you, it’s impossible! I’ve said before, you’re not worthy of my disciple, and you never will be.”

Fei Xue’s arrogant and disdainful voice came through, but Gu Qingfeng only looked at her, smiled brilliantly, and left.

As he stepped down from the platform, a sharp shout came from behind: “Stop!”
