The Elders of the Seven Star Palace praise Li Yunjing's achievements and gifts him treasures, including an array map and a powerful jade pendant. Li Yunjing humbly accepts, expressing gratitude and vowing to restore the sect's glory. He then shares cultivation insights with the other disciples.

Fingers traced through the void, the virtual shadows of various cultivation secret manuals, including "Shenxiao Dao," emerged behind him, and the flowing Thunder Power illuminated the entire hall.

"The foundation is essential in the path of cultivation."

He held a ball of Thunder Light in his palm, "Just like this Thunder Power, if the meridians are fragile, and the Divine Thought is unstable, no matter how much Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is absorbed, it is but an illusion."

"The method of Thunder Tempering emphasizes the balance of rigidity and flexibility."

"Look at this Thunder Silk; it may seem fierce but can flow through the meridians like a stream. When operating the Cultivation Technique, one must guide it to the Dantian with Divine Thought, and then refine it for personal use through the Heart Method mantra of the ’Shenxiao Dao.’"

"I know, this method is easier said than done."

"But there is no shortcut in cultivation; only through constant attempts and insights can one achieve breakthroughs."

Pausing for a moment, Li Yunjing glanced around, seeing the Elders attentively listening before he continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, I excel in Thunder Skill, and today I will begin to explain my cultivation in Thunder Skill!"

"The ’Path of Thunder’ is an important path of our ’Shenxiao Dao Sect.’ I will elaborate on how to communicate with Thunder Power through inner cultivation, reaching the realm of celestial resonance and demon vanquishing..."

"Thunder, the pivot of Heaven and Earth, the creation of Yin and Yang."

"Internally refine the five viscera as Five Thunders, externally correspond the five Qi as five emperors."

"Heart Fire rises as thunderbolts, Kidney Water stirs as Thunder Light."

"When the Qi flows throughout, Thunder City trembles; when the Primordial Spirit is tranquil and observant, all divine beings heed the command."

...

"What is the pivot of Heaven and Earth?"

Without waiting for an answer, Li Yunjing explained, "The primordial origin of the universe, symbolized by Thunder Power, is the key to the operation of Heaven and Earth."

"In the Alchemy Dao, it corresponds to the explosive power of the innate Qi of the human body..."

"Internally refine the five viscera as Five Thunders: Heart Fire Thunder (thunderbolt), Liver Wood Thunder (green spirit), Spleen Earth Thunder (Kun pivot), Lung Metal Thunder (bright splendor), Kidney Water Thunder (Thunder Light)."

"Through Inner Core cultivation, transform the essence Qi of the viscera into Thunder Energy..."

"Externally correspond the five Qi as five emperors; the Five Directions Thunder Emperors correspond to the ’microcosmic human body’ celestial perspective of the Profound Sect..."

This discourse lasted a full seven days and nights, from when Li Yunjing first encountered the "Five Thunders True Method" to when he forged his own path.

With the integration of the Power of the Five Elements, he could operate the "Five Elements Divine Thunder," then comprehend the Dao of Yin and Yang, refining the "Yin Yang Divine Thunder," finally achieving Unity of the Five Elements and Yin Yang, returning to the innate state, congealing Chaos Qi, and understanding the "Chaos Divine Thunder"...

Li Yunjing spared no details, and the listeners from the "Seven Star Palace" high ranks were deeply affected.

As high-ranking members of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," who wouldn’t know a few Thunder Skills?

After seven days, everyone had insights and reorganized what they had learned, finally realizing how far they were in Thunder Skill mastery!

Li Yunjing’s explanation nearly pointed out the path, helping everyone understand the direction of their subsequent cultivation efforts!

As for success?

That would depend on their attainment and innate talent in Thunder Skill.

If the innate talent suffices and the opportunity aligns, following Li Yunjing’s guidance, anyone could achieve significant improvement!

Seeing the joy in everyone’s expressions,

Li Yunjing nodded slightly, knowing his efforts were not in vain.

He raised his hand for a light wave, and in the void above the side hall of the "Seven Star Palace," Thunder patterns interwoven with Five Elements appeared; Thunders of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth entwined, yet distinctly separate.

"Do you know that while ’Five Elements Divine Thunder’ seems to be about mutual generation and restriction, it can actually be mutually supportive?"

The Five Elements of Heaven and Earth are fundamental to cultivation; almost everyone cultivates these five paths, hence Li Yunjing demonstrated through the "Five Elements Divine Thunder."

He flicked his fingers slightly, and the earthy yellow "Earth God Thunder" erupted first, instantly forming an indestructible Thunder Shield on the ground, "With Earth Thunder for defense, Wood Thunder for life, Metal Thunder for breakage, and Water and Fire Thunders complementing each other, a cycle of attack and defense can be formed."

As the words fell, Liu Qingyun gently raised her jade-like hand, and a green Wood Thunder shot from her fingertips, colliding with Li Yunjing’s Earth Thunder.

The originally heavy Thunder Shield grew thousands of Thunder Vines as if they were living, transforming into a defensive and offensive barrier.

"So that’s how it is!"

Her eyes widened with surprise, "I always used ’Five Elements Thunder Skill’ separately before, unaware that after merging, it had such wondrous effects!"

"I have studied Thunder Skill for decades, yet today I realize I was only seeing a part of it."

Chen Moyuan trembled as he stroked his snow-white beard, eyes filled with excitement, "What the Vice Sect Leader described as ’Five Elements Divine Thunder,’ perfectly fuses the Thunder Skill’s ferocity with gentleness. Such insights are indeed unheard of!"

Speaking, he formed sealing gestures with his hands, attempting to condense "Five Elements Divine Thunder" but repeatedly failed, unable to grasp the essentials.

Li Yunjing noticed and advised, "Elder, do not rush. The key to ’Five Elements Divine Thunder’ is grasping the word ’balance’; one must balance the Five Elements. If uncertain, do not attempt it!"

"The Five Elements of Heaven and Earth, only by mutually accommodating and transforming, can the strongest Divine Thunder be condensed."

Under Li Yunjing’s guidance, Chen Moyuan finally understood why he couldn’t succeed.

"So it is! Although I am not a Five Elements Spirit Root, I can use external forces to complete the Five Elements, strive for balance, and practice to perfection, then I can condense ’Five Elements Divine Thunder’!"

Chen Moyuan was enlightened.

Though he knew it was easy to say, hard to do, at least he had a direction now, unlike before when he used his Thunder Skills with separate Five Elements Attributes.

With Li Yunjing’s in-depth explanation, the entire "Seven Star Palace" was shrouded in rich Thunder Power.
