[Congratulations! You have reached the Great Completion Stage of the Five Thunders First Volume. You have a deeper understanding and comprehension of thunder energy, and can skillfully extract it from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Your meridians have also become tougher and stronger under the nourishment of the Five Thunders energy.]

The First Volume of the Five Thunders is the practice method for the formal disciples of the Five Thunders Palace. It is said that once the First Volume is completed, it means that one has passed the Qi Training Stage and entered the Dan Formation Stage.

According to "Ten Yuan Yi Zhi", there are several stages in cultivating longevity, which correspond to the various levels of spiritual practice.

The first stage is called "Transcending the Ordinary Bone", and there are two corresponding realms: the Qi Training Realm and the Dan Forming Realm.

Each realm is divided into ten small realms. The book does not explain how to distinguish these small realms, and Yang Qian does not understand it yet.

This stage is the stage of rebirth and breaking away from the original destiny. The tenth level of Qi training can live for a hundred years, and the tenth level of Dan formation can live for three hundred years!
The second stage is called "Forging the Soul", which also corresponds to two realms of cultivation: the Nascent Soul Realm and the Out-of-Body Realm.

Similarly, each realm is divided into ten small realms.

This stage is to further change one's soul after "rebirth", so that one's life is completely distinguished from ordinary creatures and reaches a level that is in harmony with heaven and earth to a certain extent.

The most intuitive reaction is also reflected in the life span. The life span of the Yuanying realm is 500 years. The life span of the Out-of-Body realm is 800 years!
In fact, at this stage, they are no longer considered human. But they are not yet at the level of gods. In the eyes of mortals, a few hundred years is the life course of several generations or even dozens of generations. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are "immortal".

But in the eyes of cultivators, whether it is five hundred or eight hundred, it is still a long way from true immortality.

Even time may seem like a lot, but when it comes time to use it, it will inevitably seem like very little.

It is mentioned in "Ten Yuan Strange Stories" that: For those who practice immortality, the higher and farther the goal is, the more difficult it is. A hundred years are but a blink of an eye. If you can make it, keep climbing. If you can't, you will fall into the mortal world.

This is also the reason why those monks with profound cultivation are rarely seen in the world. Everyone is practicing in seclusion, so who dares to waste time playing around?

The third stage is called "Breaking the Fate of Heaven". It also has two corresponding realms: the fusion realm and the profound realm.

It is said that these two realms are to further elevate one's life level, find the vein of immortality, and finally move one's destiny into it and integrate into it.

These two realms are even more mysterious.

The lifespan in the Fusion Realm is one thousand years, and the lifespan in the Profound Realm is one thousand five hundred years!

This can no longer be described as "several generations", but most countries cannot exist for such a long time.

At this stage, immortality has been barely achieved.

Is this enough?
The big and powerful sects of cultivation all call themselves immortal sects. Isn't the "immortal" here something that is still beyond reach?

This brings us to the brief description of the last stage of the pursuit of immortality in "Ten Yuan Yi Zhi".

The fourth stage is “becoming immortal”.

The purpose of this stage can be seen from its name. It is to continue to improve the level of life until the underlying structure of life is completely changed, so that one can finally complete the transformation from human to immortal and finally to immortal.

However, this stage does not correspond to the realm of cultivation, but the biggest test on the road of cultivation: heavenly tribulation.

When one's cultivation reaches the Perfection of the Tongxuan Realm, a heavenly tribulation will befall within ten to twenty years. It is the final and most direct test of heaven and earth.

It is also said that the difficulty of the heavenly tribulation varies from person to person.

If one can pass it, he will become an immortal immediately, and his life span will no longer be counted in years, but in "huiyuan". If one cannot pass it, he will die and turn into ashes immediately. Thousands of years of practice and efforts will be gone in one day, and even his soul will not be left behind, and will be completely wiped out from the world by heaven and earth.

Far away.

When Yang Qian read the stories about immortals and saints in "Ten Yuan Strange Stories", he picked through them all very quickly. Regardless of whether they were true or false, they were too far away from him.

But for Yang Qian, he can still try the first stage, "Transcendence from the Ordinary Bone", and he needs to have a clear concept of it.

The benefits brought to Yang Qian after the completion of "The First Volume of Five Thunders" seemed to be concentrated on the efficiency of meridians and exercise, just as the prompt on the experience panel said.

The meridians began to become tougher and thicker under the continuous impact of thunder energy.

After each great cycle, the spiritual energy that could be absorbed into the body increased a lot. At the same time, Yang Qian continued to accept everything and did not have any specialization. He did not pick and choose the five kinds of thunder energy contained in the spiritual energy, so that the effect was several times more than that of ordinary practitioners of the "Five Thunders Volume 1".

These are all the obvious gains. The hidden gains are what Yang Qian cares about the most.

Lower Dantian, cyclone.

Yang Qian was sure that apart from him, there would be no one else in the world with a Dantian structure like his.

A warrior actually showed the same signs of elixir formation in his dantian as those of a cultivator who was practicing immortality.

The most obvious difference is that cultivators rely on the continuous compression and condensation of spiritual energy to form a pill, while the dominant force in Yang Qian's lower dantian is always the innate true qi of a warrior.

No matter whether it is spiritual energy or thunder energy, once it enters the lower dantian, it will be absorbed and become a part of the innate true qi.

The completion of "The First Volume of Five Thunders" and the improvement of two realms have brought new growth space to the cyclone that has been stagnant for a long time.

The originally stagnant core began a new round of growth. Not only did it become more and more solid and larger in size, but also, due to the addition of the five kinds of lightning energy, something like electric arcs began to jump on the surface of the core.

In the end, the core in Yang Qian's lower dantian quickly expanded several times, but in the end it did not form an independent existence. It was still attached to the cyclone and showed no vitality.

This means that the elixir has not yet been formed.

But Yang Qian had already felt that the core in his lower dantian should have reached the critical point. As long as he waited for another year or two, or pushed the "Five Thunders First Volume" directly to the perfect state, then this core would definitely complete the formation of the elixir!
When Yang Qian opened his eyes again, it was already late at night outside the window and only an hour or so before dawn.

The remaining 370 experience points cannot be left lying on the board, that would be a waste. So an idea came to his mind.

200
[Consume 200 experience points and start to deduce "Feng Xing". Deduction is successful! ]

[Your "Wind Travel" body movement has been deduced to the great perfection realm. However, due to the lack of deduction conditions, it has been forced to stagnate. ]

[Is the wind just fast? What would it be like if the wind slowed down?]

Then, a great deal of enlightenment and truth rose from Yang Qian's soul, making him dazed for a while. But compared to the previous content of the sword intent, the deduction of the "Wind" was already easy to understand.

What would the wind be like if it slowed down? It would be a tiny air current. It cannot be felt, but it is everywhere.
