Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Chapter 1203: Chapter 98: Intense Thunder Tribulation Chapter 1203: Chapter 98: Intense Thunder Tribulation Divine Patterns, also known as Divine Pattern Rites.

They are the ability of cultivators to communicate with heaven and earth through a specialized ceremony or character pattern that harmonizes with nature.

Upon close examination, whether it’s the spells commonly used by cultivators, the cultivation methods, the formations within the Hundred Arts, or curses and so on, all contain the way of Divine Pattern Rites.

It isn’t characterized by distinct qualities like the Five Elements, Wind, Thunder, or Ice, yet it is vast and profound, almost omnipresent.

However, even though nearly all cultivators are intentionally or unintentionally utilizing these divine patterns, very few can truly see through the surface and understand their essence.

They are, like the numbers in the world of cultivators.

“Refined, simplistic, filled with a unique elegance of simplicity!”

Wang Ba stared blankly at the black tortoise’s shell in front of him.

...

At this moment of observing the tortoise.

In Wang Ba’s mind, from the moment he started his cultivation journey, he had encountered the Strong Body Sutra, the Four Methods of Renshui, the Manual of Golden Wind and Jade Dew, the Dharmas into One, the Manual of Azure Emperor’s Seed, the True Yang Wutu Sutra…

and even the Lifeline Defile Curse, the Body Sealing…

Years of extensive reading and accumulating knowledge finally paid off.

All cultivation methods, spells, curses, countless scriptures, miscellaneous bits of lore, the patterns of mana whirls in the Dantian, and the structures of spirit beast bodies, etc., rapidly peeled away their superficial layers in his mind.

It was as if exquisite pavilions and temple halls were crumbling before him, with bricks, tiles, and wooden beams being extracted.

And soon, these bricks, tiles, and beams further disassembled.

How much earth, how much water, how many wooden pieces, how much heat, how many years…

The same goes for a cultivator.

Beneath the surface lies the alternative expansion, extension, and transformation of the Divine Pattern Rites.

Having realized these, all his accumulations finally transformed into two hundred and eleven distinct divine patterns at the end.

Like tadpoles, they slowly emerged and swam on his body.

And then, at a thought, they surged into his Dantian, filling most of the voids on top of his Dharma Golden Core.

No other essence was needed for preliminary integration and thorough completion, once comprehended, it all completely merged.

He raised his hand and beckoned.

Divine patterns leaped from his palm, transforming into spirit fire.

Yet, with his thought, the divine patterns changed, and the spirit fire instantly transformed into ripples resembling a lotus.

And these ripples, in an instant, turned into a golden arrow, an earth wall…

and finally, a flash of thunder reclaimed into his palm, becoming formless.

He was already adept in the Five Elements skills, and under the transformation of these divine patterns, the spells he performed could switch seamlessly without any gaps, even integrating curses effortlessly.

Without obstruction, the integration was flawless.

More importantly, most of the spells and curses actually originated from divine patterns.

Wang Ba, tracing back from cultivation methods and spells, naturally could also derive new spells through divine patterns.

Although not without difficulty, it undoubtedly marked the most crucial step towards becoming a true Great Cultivator with Dao.

Feeling the divine patterns swimming on his Golden Core, Wang Ba felt joy but also faintly sensed a trace of incompleteness and imperfection.

“The Path of Divine Patterns should consist of more than two hundred and eleven kinds, but with years of accumulation, I could only comprehend this many.

To further perfect the Path of Divine Patterns, it seems I still need exposure to more diverse aspects of cultivation.”

He had seen a lot and learned a lot, but ultimately, limited by his own realm, the levels he could access were somewhat low.

But that was an inevitable situation.

Being able to comprehend these two hundred and eleven divine patterns had already drained all his accumulations.

However, he did not have many regrets.

Originally, he had planned to give up on the Path of Divine Patterns, yet unexpectedly, he managed to understand these in a short time, and he was already content.

While it seems a lot has been said, it all happened in just less than half a day.

Wang Ba came back to his senses and couldn’t help but look again at the Enlightened Mystic Tortoise.

This time, however, the mystic patterns on the tortoise’s back no longer held any mystery to him.

“The mystic patterns of the Enlightened Mystic Tortoise are actually derivatives of divine patterns, offering enlightenment of spiritual wisdom.

However, this is just linking and integrating the observer’s own accumulations.

Without that foundation, no matter how much one observes, the gains are minimal.”

“However, this tortoise is indeed a rare treasure…

It would be too wasteful not to preserve such a lineage of the Spirit Turtle.”

Thinking this, Wang Ba made a decision and placed the Mystic Tortoise under the Fire Paulownia Tree.

The warm aura emitted by the fire leaves gently warmed the Enlightened Mystic Tortoise.

Under the tree, the Spirit Chickens, tilting their heads, curiously observed the Enlightened Mystic Tortoise.

Then, they cheekily pecked at it.

Jia 15 and other special Spirit Chickens, feeling the mid-stage Nascent Soul aura from the Enlightened Mystic Tortoise, were also somewhat amazed.

Seeing the Enlightened Mystic Tortoise remained motionless, they curiously jumped over, pecked a few times, but nothing changed.

Then, they simply jumped onto its back.

At first glance at the mystic patterns on the tortoise’s back, they did not care much, but then their bodies shook!

Their eyes stared straight at the tortoise’s back, seemingly enlightened.

Wang Ba, slightly surprised, shortly called over the Wuyuan King from the imperial willow.

He introduced the existence of the Enlightened Mystic Tortoise to him.
