The Great Ruler

Chapter 897 - Visualising Lightning Tribulation

With the assistance of the Nine-Layered Pagoda, the matter of Mu Chen refining 20,000 Fallen Origin Pellets was already within the shape. Furthermore, what made Mu Chen feel relieved was the fact that the Nine-Layered Pagoda only required the maintenance of Spiritual Energy for it to continue existing. He also didn't need to keep watch, which saved him lots of time.

That's because, while he relied on the Nine-Layered Pagoda to refine Fallen Origin Pellets, he could start studying the Nine Lightning Tribulation Visualisation Technique that he had obtained in the Death Ruin.

Within the cave, a dense azure smoke permeated, the strands of azure smoke that contained Spiritual Energy essence was something that even a Sixth Grade Sovereign would covet after.

Mu Chen quietly sat deep in the cave under the envelopment of dense azure smoke. He had maintained a calm expression, like a boulder without any movements.

He had left the task of refining the Spiritual Energy essences to the Nine-Layered Pagoda while the Nine Lightning Tribulation Visualisation Technique appeared in his mind.

Rumble!

When the Nine Lightning Tribulation Visualisation Technique appeared, a deep rumbling of thunder resounded in Mu Chen's mind. The thunderous roar was like a bizarre magic power that gradually caused the consciousness of someone to turn fuzzy.

But the interruption of the thunderous roar could be completely disregarded by Mu Chen. He had refined the Nether Demon Heart Lightning, an incorporeal lightning that relied on the thunderous roars to cause interruption, which Mu Chen was practically immune to.

He restrained his mind before he swept a glance at the Nine Lightning Tribulation Visualisation Technique. Instantly, there was an ancient voice that resounded from the thunderous roars, a prestigious voice that would cause the heavens and earth to tremble.

"The Nine Lightning Tribulation Visualisation Technique is split into nine tribulations. Forming a lightning prison with a will… suffering endless lightning pains to refine your will… and, in the end, attracting lightning tribulations…"

"The lightning tribulations are split into nine tribulations, one being more powerful than the other… passing the nine tribulations will imply the technique practised to great perfection and could command millions of wills to confront Heavenly Sovereigns."

The ancient voice echoed within Mu Chen's mind and the booming noises caused Mu Chen to be greatly stunned. Passing through the nine tribulations would allow one to easily be able to command millions of Battle Wills?

How terrifying would that be?

Mu Chen's heart shook and it was a little hard for him to believe how powerful that would be. Right now, he could only control the Battle Will of 20,000 to 30,000 and it was already reaching his limits. He couldn't imagine how terrifying it would be if he commanded millions of Battle Wills. At that time, he might probably be like it was said in the legends, he wouldn't have to know fear, even when facing the pinnacle experts of the Great Thousand World.

If one managed to cultivate the path of a Battle Formation Master to the limits, he would be able to stand on top of the pyramid.

He calmed the shock in his heart and started to immerse himself in the cultivation method of the Nine Lightning Tribulation Visualisation Technique. This technique was extremely cryptic and only those with powerful wills could read and analyse it. If his will was too weak, it would be extremely hard for him to even read it.

But Mu Chen's will exceeded an ordinary person's, so when he finished reading the Nine Lightning Tribulations Visualisation Technique, he felt a piercing pain in his mind. The feeling was even more painful than commanding the Battle Wills of five troops to undergo an intense battle.

Mu Chen inwardly smacked his lips in response to it. It was no wonder why Battle Formation Masters were rare. Not to mention the rarity of cultivation techniques, just reading it alone would have a high foothold. So even if ordinary people managed to obtain it, it was basically impossible for them to cultivate it. And with all these blockades, it was not surprising that the Battle Formation Masters were extremely few in number.

But even if reading the Nine Lightning Tribulation Visualisation Technique alone was extremely troublesome, once he managed to finish it, Mu Chen couldn't help sighing. This visualisation technique was extremely bizarre.

That's because, if he wanted to cultivate the Nine Lightning Tribulation Visualisation Technique, he would have to visualise a lightning prison in his mind with his will and enter it to be refined by bolts of lightning…

It wasn't rare to cultivate with bolts of lightning in the Great Thousand World. Many lightning-attributed cultivation technique required it. But will itself was formless, so how was he going to refine it with lightning?

Therefore, he needed to visualise a lightning prison in his mind and submerge his will within it, then use visualised bolts of lightning to strike his own will, thus strengthening his will in the process.

Mu Chen had never heard of this cultivation technique in the past.

In layman's terms, the so-called "visualisation" was similar to dreaming… creating something that didn't exist… and using that non-existent thing to achieve the effect of refining his Battle Will.

Even with Mu Chen's composure, it had taken a long time for him to slowly recover from this bizarre cultivating method. Shortly after, he bitterly smiled, since he had no idea which Senior was so perverse to create such an incredible cultivation technique.

Furthermore, if he wanted to cultivate this Nine Lightning Tribulation Visualisation Technique, he would need a certain amount of compatibility with lightning. That's because, only by having compatibility, could he bring out the refining effect of the lightning prison.

There were different visualised lightnings in the lightning prison. Likewise, only by visualising the lightning that one had the highest compatibility with, would have the greatest effect of refining.

And based on this, Mu Chen finally understood why he had such a high compatibility with this Nine Lightning Tribulation Visualisation Technique. It should be because he had once integrated with the Nether Demon Heart Lightning.

So when he was visualising the lightning prison, he could visualise the Nether Demon Heart Lightning. After all, he had once integrated with the Nether Demon Heart Lightning, so there was no comment between their compatibility. So if he was able to refine his will with it, it should have a pretty decent effect.

As he thought about it, Mu Chen couldn't help feeling inwardly fortunate. It looked like this Nine Lightning Tribulation Visualisation Technique was indeed the most suitable for him. It was no wonder why he would be chosen by it.

However, it was not easy to visualise the lightning prison. It required many bizarre means and the hardest of all would be the visualisation of the lightning prison remaining in his mind, and not disappearing after the visualisation was completed. Otherwise, if he needed to visualise the lightning prison every time he cultivated, then he probably wouldn't want to cultivate…

And for the things he visualised to be left behind, it involved many factors. The difficulty was something that even Mu Chen felt a headache about. For the first time, he felt that it wasn't easy to track the path of a Battle Formation Master.

But reaching this step, he definitely couldn't give up on it, no matter how impossible it was. It took him great effort to obtain the Nine Lightning Tribulation Visualisation Technique, so it would be a waste of a treasure if he gave up on it.

As he pondered about it, Mu Chen no longer hesitated and his mind gradually calmed down. He guarded his mind and cleared it of any other thoughts, as according to the Nine Lightning Tribulation Visualisation Technique.

No one knew how long he maintained the empty state for and at a certain moment, Mu Chen's mind was blank-white. He had even forgotten himself and it was also an extremely dangerous step. Because, as according to the Nine Lightning Tribulation Visualisation Technique, there was a risk of him wiping his self-consciousness out. And if he wiped his self-consciousness out, then he would probably not be able to wake up anymore.

But fortunately, Mu Chen came prepared. When his mind gradually emptied, the will that hid in the depths of his consciousness started to awaken, a form of self-awakening…

Mu Chen controlled his will and started to visualise…

Rumble!

In his empty mind, thunderous roars suddenly rang out, spreading towards the darkness as it resonated.

With thunderous roars, appeared flashes of lightning.

Like creating a world, Mu Chen's will said that there should be flashes of lightning and so, lightning flickered in the darkness.

As flashes of lightning appeared, bolts of lightning should appear as well.

Rumble!

As the lightning flashed, just when Mu Chen was visualising bolts of lightning, the lightning roars in his mind became more intense and the rumbling had blown Mu Chen out of this state.

When his will was blown out of his mind, Mu Chen's consciousness recovered and all the information poured into his brain. He helplessly flung his lips aside. The first attempt of him visualising the lightning prison had ended in failure. Mu Chen was depressed by it, since he would be underestimating the cultivation method of the Battle Formation Master too much if the lightning prison could be so easily visualised.

"Since I failed, then let's continue."

Mu Chen did not mind it. Instead, he smiled. Without any hesitation, his state-of-mind calmed down as he relaxed his mind, entering into the empty state once again.

Since the first attempt had failed, then he would try it ten times, a hundred times or even a thousand times. He refused to believe that he wouldn't be able to visualise the lightning prison after thousands and hundreds of attempts.

Nine Lightning Tribulation Visualisation Technique, we'll see who lasts longer!
