My name is Huang Tian, ​​what the hell is this "Heaven is dead" nonsense?

Chapter 8 Earthly Branches and Thunder
"This middle-aged cultivator with a sallow complexion should be Mo Qiu, while those young people are some of the outer disciples of the Hou Tu Sect."

Huang Tian wondered to himself.

At this moment, Mo Qiu spoke: "...Sit cross-legged and calm your mind, relax and be natural, lightly close your lips and teeth, breathe slowly and gently, and when the Yellow Court feels warm as if an egg is being held, then guide the Qi through the coccyx, along the spine to the Jade Pillow, through the Kunlun point and back to the Purple Palace..."

Each word was exceptionally clear.

To ensure that all outer disciples remember and understand, he would explain it repeatedly, patiently and tirelessly.

Huang Tian wrote down the contents of the technique word for word with great speed and speed, and then listened carefully to Mo Qiu's explanation.

After more than half an hour, Mo Qiu stopped talking and asked, "Did you understand?"

"Understood." The outer disciples nodded in unison.

"Is there anything you want to ask?"

The crowd shook their heads.

Mo Qiu nodded. "Since you all have no more doubts, I will use the remaining time to teach you a low-level lightning technique for self-protection."

As everyone knows, lightning and fire spells are the most powerful.

As a major sect in this world, my Hou Tu Sect naturally has a number of incredibly powerful lightning techniques, one of which is a low-level lightning technique called Wu Tu Zheng Lei (戊土正雷).

This thunder magic can draw upon the pure Yang Earth essence deep within the earth, generating extreme movement from extreme stillness, and exploding with extreme intensity from extreme stability, powerful and vast, capable of vanquishing evil and warding off all obstacles.

It is one of the most powerful types of earth-element thunder magic.

The key to his cultivation is to first sense the essence of the Earth element, then use spiritual power to suppress the stillness and stability of the Earth element to the extreme, and then transform it into the movement and explosion of thunder in an instant.

It is thunder from the earth, not thunder from the sky.

However, during thunderstorms, when using the Earthly Thunder Technique, one can resonate with the heavenly thunder, greatly increasing the power of the thunder technique, making it easy to destroy cities and mountains…”

Mo Qiu slowly explained the cultivation secrets of the Earthly Thunder, and Huang Tian happily recorded them.

Twenty minutes later, the connection was lost and the video of Mo Qiu preaching disappeared, but Huang Tian had already memorized the complete Wu Tu Zheng Lei Fa.

Looking at the paper filled with writing, Huang Tian's lips curled up slightly. He put aside the Qi Refining stage technique of the "Huang Tian Zhen Yue Ling Jing" and picked up the paper recording the Wu Tu Zheng Lei Fa to read it carefully.

A moment later, he closed his eyes, and his exceptional comprehension allowed him to visualize the image of him unleashing the Earthly Thunder.

Once, ten times, a hundred times...

After practicing it a hundred times, I understand it perfectly.

Huang Tian slowly opened his eyes, and electricity surged in the empty room, with flashes of lightning.

Suppressing the urge to carry out the Thunderclap Technique, Huang Tian picked up his keys and went downstairs for dinner.

His cultivation level at the early stage of Qi Refining greatly reduced his need for food, but it wasn't to the point of abstaining from grains.

Crossing the street and entering the affordable restaurant across the street, before Huang Tian could even speak, the owner, who was in his thirties, said, "Stir-fried pork with dried bean curd and rice in a wooden bucket?"

Huang Tian smiled and nodded, scanned the code, and found a familiar seat to sit down.

The boss went to the kitchen and started cooking, and the sound of chopping could be heard.

Huang Tian looked around the store and found that several tables and chairs were missing, and the standing air conditioner that used to be in the corner was also gone. No wonder the store didn't feel as cool as usual.

Not long after, the owner brought over a wooden bucket of rice, placed it on the table, and said to Huang Tian:
"Young man, is this stir-fried tofu skin with pork and rice in a wooden bucket really that delicious? I've seen you order it so many times."

Huang Tian picked up his chopsticks and said sincerely, "The taste is quite good."

He is not picky about food. As long as he thinks a dish tastes okay, he will eat it every day until he gets tired of it, and then he will switch to another dish.

The shop owner scratched his head and smiled, then sighed and said, "I'm closing down tomorrow, young man. You'll have to eat somewhere else from now on."

Huang Tian thought for a moment and asked, "Is business bad?" "Not many people come to eat all day. Two or three more mala tang and wonton shops have opened around here, making business even worse. We have to close down and go somewhere else," the owner said honestly.

Huang Tian didn't say anything more, just nodded, a little melancholy rising in his heart: it's a bit of a pity that this restaurant moved away before he even got tired of eating there.

After exchanging a few words with the owner, I turned and left, sitting behind the counter idly scrolling through videos on my phone.

After finishing his dinner, Huang Tian got up to leave. As he walked out of the store, he noticed that the owner was still looking down at videos, but his brows were furrowed and he seemed preoccupied.

"Everyone has their own difficulties in life."

He sighed, wondering if he would be worrying about where to work now if he hadn't gained superpowers.

"Luckily, I have a cheat code!"

He walked briskly back to the apartment building and came to his electric scooter.

I sat down, turned the handlebars, and the electric scooter started moving, heading towards Guangming Park.

A dozen minutes later, they arrived at their destination. Huang Tian walked through the park with practiced ease and climbed up the small hill.

At this moment, not a single person can be seen nearby, because the buzzing mosquitoes show no mercy.

Huang Tian used his spiritual power to create a thin barrier, blocking mosquitoes and a few flying insects from biting him.

Arriving at the place where he had last tested the Earth Man Technique and the Lesser Cloud Rain Technique, Huang Tian looked up at the sky. The moon was bright and the stars were few, and the night breeze was slightly cool.

"It's a nice day."

He took a deep breath, his spiritual energy permeating the earth, his mind merging with the earth.

Suddenly, his expression shifted, and a powerful and profound aura emanated from his body. The chirping of insects within a ten-meter radius vanished in an instant, plunging the area into deathly silence.

He channeled his spiritual power and pointed at the half-person-high rock from before. A deep amber light flashed on the ground and disappeared beneath the rock.

"boom--!"

A deep, muffled roar resounded, and the stone shattered with a bang, breaking into dozens of pieces of varying sizes. A faint smell of burning emanated from the stone.

A gentle night breeze blew, and the dozens of pebbles turned into dust, flying away and disappearing in the wind.

"Its power is truly astonishing!"

Huang Tian's eyes lit up. If it were just smashing rocks, it wouldn't be considered too powerful, but turning them into powder was truly terrifying.

"No wonder Mo Qiu said that heavenly thunder is extremely strong and yang, and is mainly used to destroy evil and cause destruction, while earth thunder is heavy and dense, and is mainly used to suppress and disintegrate."

Those struck by the Earthly Fiend Thunder will have mountains and rocks reduced to dust, demons and evil spirits shattered, and magical artifacts will be riddled with cracks.

Having mastered a powerful spell, Huang Tian was in high spirits and cast the Earth Thunder twice more, shattering all the larger rocks around him into dust.

"Hahaha, that's awesome!"

Huang Tian laughed heartily, but suddenly, his spiritual energy surged rapidly within him. He paused, then quickly sat cross-legged, focusing his mind and gathering his energy.

A few breaths later, a gust of wind swept around Huang Tian, ​​and he suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with joy.

"Qi Refining Level Two!"

Yes, he made a breakthrough!
In just a few days, he went from an ordinary mortal to a cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining!

If the disciples of the Hou Tu Sect knew about this, they would probably be green with envy.

However, Huang Tian was not proud of this, as he knew that all his achievements were due to the help he received.

Isn't it natural for cheaters to develop quickly?
