Chapter 730: Chapter 726: Gifted Talent from Heaven Chapter 730: Chapter 726: Gifted Talent from Heaven “This Thunder Disaster, is rather simple to comprehend. It's a heavenly Thunder Tribulation that will strike you as a test from the heavens. If one cultivates properly, recognizing one's true nature and enlightening one's mind, it can be foreseen and thus avoided. If dodged, one could prolong their life to match the heavens, and if not, they naturally would meet an abrupt end,” continued the white-robed old Taoist.

“I wonder how this Thunder Disaster compares to the Thunder Tribulation of Ascending to Immortality?” Shen Luo asked.

“They are not to be mentioned on the same day. One can resist the Thunder Tribulation with mystic arts and God's power, but it's impossible to resist the Thunder Disaster. Your only hope is to foresee it and avoid it, otherwise it would spell the end,” the white-robed old Taoist immediately answered.

Upon hearing these words, Shen Luo felt a slight tautness in his heart and quickly committed the information to memory.

“The Thunder Disaster can be avoided by enlightening oneself, but the Fire Disaster that follows in 500 years is not so easily avoided. The fire is not worldly, nor heavenly, but 'Yin Fire'. Once it descends, it begins burning from the Yongquan point at the sole of the foot, burning persistently through the Mud Palace, reducing your internal organs to ashes, and limbs to withered husks. Even if you have cultivated diligently for a thousand years, it's hard to escape from turning to dust,” the white-robed old Taoist spoke slowly.

Amidst Shen Luo's shock, the Silver Armored Man chimed in:

“In another 500 years, the Wind Disaster will descend. It's not the ordinary wind of south, east, north, and west of the Human World, not the golden north wind, nor the wind of flowers, willows, pines and bamboos. It's called 'Bi Wind'. It blows into the Six Viscera from the top of a human's skull at the point of the fontanelle, through the Dantian, penetrating the nine orifices, causing body to dissolve, and one's body ceases to exist.”

“I originally thought that after I cultivated to the True Immortal Realm, I could live as long as the sun and the moon. I didn't expect such numerous life-threatening tribulations. I wonder if there is a way to break them?” Shen Luo asked with a furrowed brow.

“There are no ways to break them, but there are some methods that can be used to avoid them,” said the white-robed old Taoist.

“Fellow Elders, please kindly enlighten me,” said Shen Luo with a bow.

“When the Three Disasters arrive, they target the body's spirit and soul of a person. So, avoiding the Three Disasters in fact means using a transformation technique to deceive the heavens and the earth, hence preventing the Three Disasters from locking onto you,” the white-robed old Taoist explained.

“Transformation Technique? It should not be an ordinary illusion technique, right?” Shen Luo speculated after a brief thought.

“Of course not, how could the Heavenly Dao be so easily deceived? It must be a real transformation technique that changes one's physical form, spirit, breath, and divine soul. Only this can make the Three Disasters unable to trace you. Once the time limit passes, one can be safe for another 500 years,” said the Silver Armored Man.

“Speaking of which, your Mount Fangcun usually handles the Three Disasters alone, without outside help. The secret manual 'Earth Evil Seventy-two Changes' is the ultimate secret method for dealing with these Three Disasters. Don't tell me you haven't studied it?” The yellow-robed man asked in surprise.

“I have not,” Shen Luo shook his head.

“Without practicing the Seventy-two Changes, how can you call yourself a disciple of Mount Fangcun? How could the Heavenly Book choose such a person?” The yellow-robed man looked at him somewhat incredulously.

Shen Luo sensing a hint of discontent, still respectfully responded, “Respected elders, do you have any Transformation Art that you could impart to me?”

“Transformation Arts are all classified secrets of individual sects, how can they be freely disseminated?” The yellow-robed man said coldly.

“I am willing to exchange something of equal value for it,” Shen Luo offered.

“Ideally, given the danger facing the Three Realms, we shouldn't be sticking to our sects, a transformation art shouldn't be greatly treasured. However, some rules were established at the start of this gathering, so exchanges are permissible, but what do you have that is worth trading?” asked the white-robed old Taoist.

“I only have some aged Spiritual Medicine and Immortal Herbs, and a few unimpressive talismans. Would any of the elders find them suitable?” After a brief thought, Shen Luo was about to mention his Gold Rope and Wolf Fang Club, among other magical treasures, but he quickly cut himself off and said something different.

Following this, he waved his hand and several two-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs and a few purple talismans appeared in succession.

“Thick Earth Ganoderma, Dream Dew Flower, Xuan Guang Vine…” the yellow-robed man muttered to himself with a light 'oh' of surprise.

“Thunderfall Talisman, Fractured Armor Talisman, Binding Talisman…” The Silver Armored Man leaned forward slightly, showing some interest in these three talismans.

“If these medicinal herbs were presented 500 years ago, they would have been useful to me, but now their significance is rather limited,” the yellow-robed man shook his head and said.

However, the Silver Armored Man took a step forward and said,

“I'm somewhat interested in these three talismans. Their quality is not low, and the one who drew them is quite skilled, they are in excellent condition. I'd like to take them and teach you the White Crane Transformation Technique, how about it?”

“Thank you, elder.” Shen Luo didn't hesitate at all and immediately nodded.

Following his words, he waved his hand, pushing the three talismans towards the Silver Armored Man.

Seeing the three talismans floating towards him, the Silver Armored Man didn't directly pick them up. Instead, he held his fingers together in front of him, the tip of his fingers gathering mana bit by bit, illuminating a strong silvery glow.

His fingers pointed forward and the empty space stirred a wave of ripples, just as if they were peering into the water's surface, penetrating through the thin barrier of space and holding onto the three talismans. He then gently pulled them back.

It was then that Shen Luo understood why the white-robed old Taoist had said that exchanging objects here wasn't easy.

Although this place was a separate space, the four individuals who were connected didn't belong to this place. In order to exchange items here, they needed to pierce through the spatial barrier.

Suddenly, the Silver Armored Man flipped his hand and a jade slip shot straight towards Shen Luo and the same way, stopped in front of Shen Luo.

“You're being a little unreasonable. How could a newcomer like him know how to penetrate the barrier to retrieve an item?” The yellow-robed man said with a mocking smile as he saw the situation unfold.

Shen Luo also looked at the Silver Armored Man. Since his face could not be seen clearly, Shen Luo had no idea of his expression. However, seeing his lack of movement made it clear that he didn't intend to help Shen Luo.

Undeterred, Shen Luo also put his two fingers together and began to gather his mana towards his fingertips, gradually creating a pinpoint of golden light.

“Oh, he seems to be getting the hang of it…” The yellow-robed man laughed.

However, as his voice fell, the golden light at Shen Luo's fingertips suddenly “popped” and shattered.

“Don't rush, control the speed of your mana flow. It shouldn't be too fast or too slow. Gradually increase the force until it's stable enough to break through the barrier,” the Silver Armored Man suddenly advised.

Following his advice, Shen Luo once again began to gather the golden light at his fingertips.

“If he can comprehend it in just a few words, wouldn't he be a…” The yellow-robed man didn't believe that Shen Luo would get it with just a few words. He was about to make a mocking comment, but his words were left hanging as he froze in place.

It turned out that during Shen Luo's next attempt, not only did the golden light not shatter, but his fingertips very smoothly pierced through the spatial barrier. He had caught onto the jade slip and was slowly pulling it back.

“A natural genius…” The yellow-robed man finally uttered the last four words.
