I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart Chapter 114 - Using A Cheat During Meditation

Chapter 114: Using A Cheat During Meditation

[Leize Dragon G.o.d Meditation]

[Level: Diamond]

[Description: There was a G.o.d in Leize with a dragon’s body and a human head. When he drummed his abdomen, thunder could be heard.]

[Leize Dragon G.o.d Meditation: When one achieves real success, one can generate thunder and lightning with the eyes and exhale thunder-like breaths.]

[Note: Leize Dragon G.o.d Meditation is a king-level meditation technique and one of the Primordial Bagua.]

‘It is already a diamond-level technique, yet it is also king-level meditation. I shall choose this.’

Primordial Bagua was created by Fu Xi[1], who was one of the Three Sovereigns of the human race. No more description was needed for his great achievements.

After choosing a meditation technique, Lin Yao did not exit the interface. Instead, he decided to redeem some techniques to practice. Military boxing could no longer keep up with his pace.

Initially, Lin Yao wanted to search for thunder training techniques. However, he was soon reminded that the purpose of the techniques was to make him stronger. If he wanted a thunder technique, strengthening himself with Project Thunder G.o.d was already sufficient. After all, this project was a decade-long effort of the country. If there was another technique in the world that was stronger than the king-level technique, then Project Thunder G.o.d was definitely one.

‘I will make use of Project Thunder G.o.d to strengthen my thunder training. As for the light attribute techniques, I will have to search.’

China did not ban training techniques from other countries. In fact, they even actively sourced them. This was why Lin Yao was able to choose a Western training technique.

[Paladin Body Strengthening Technique]

[Level: Diamond]

[Description: This technique can only be practiced by those with light attribute talent. Upon achieving real success, you can use the holy light to gather the constellation lights to condense the armor, thereby increasing one’s power. Those who practice this technique and are fully proficient can also strengthen themselves and their allies with the holy seal or halo.]

There were quite a lot of Eastern light attribute techniques. However, apart from Buddhism, many of them were not as good as the monotheistic religion, which had developed a cultivation system solely with light as its core. Besides, since angels and the Kabbalah Tree of Life were from the West and were a better fit, Lin Yao, who did not wish to become a monk, decided to go with that.

‘The mind can affect one’s thoughts, so one can’t practice techniques from the West. However, it should not have any effect on the physical body.’

At that thought, Lin Yao redeemed two diamond techniques. Then, he went to the Abnormal Ability Department and imprinted the two techniques into his mind with the help of the Heavenly Mirror.

After doing all this, he did not practice. Instead, he went to the orphanage to play with the children. Afterward, he went straight back to the new villa to rest properly.

It was a dreamless night. The next day, Lin Yao woke up feeling refreshed, as if he was bubbling with energy.

‘It’s been a long time since I slept so well. In the future, I must make it a point to have a good night’s sleep every week.’

Cultivation also required a combination of work and rest. After waking up, Lin Yao felt as if he had been reborn. He did not get up from the bed. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and meditated.

Before he’d begun to practice, Lin Yao had been under the impression that it would be very easy. Unfortunately, when 10 minutes had pa.s.sed, many thoughts were still popping up in his mind. There was no way he could achieve the tranquility that was required for meditation.

‘This won’t do. According to the technique, it takes half an hour of meditation every day to calm your mind, and I have to meditate for a month to accomplish that. The time needed is too long for me.’

In the end, Lin Yao stopped pus.h.i.+ng himself but allowed his consciousness to sink into the Tree of Heaven Punishment.

Although the Tree of Heaven Punishment and Lin Yao were considered one, just like most people could not distinguish the functions of the human body, Lin Yao had a very limited understanding of the Tree of Heaven Punishment.

At that moment, his consciousness sank into the Tree of Heaven Punishment, and many mysteries seemed to rush into his mind immediately.

Most of those mysteries contained good and evil and thunder and lightning. Lin Yao ignored the good and evil and gathered his consciousness to chase after the profound meaning of thunder and lightning. In the meantime, he was pondering over the visualization image of the Leize Great G.o.d.

In the beginning, since Lin Yao could not achieve tranquility, his visualization image could not take shape.

However, Lin Yao had used a cheat.

He had allowed his consciousness to sink into the Tree of Heaven Punishment. He had endless profound meanings of thunder and lightning in his mind. He merely pondered over the Leize Great G.o.d visualization, and the thunder and lightning turned into lines to actively outline the shape of the Leize Great G.o.d.

Just like the moon would appear after sunset and water would always flow downward, these were natural phenomena. There was no need for Lin Yao to do anything, as everything just happened naturally.

‘When other people are practicing visualization, they need to imitate and remain calm to outline the shape of the visualization image. During the process, there must be no distractions, or what has been achieved will go down the drain. As for me, I would just let nature take its course.’

Lin Yao’s mind was filled with endless fragments of profound meaning. He did not need to do anything but think about the form of the Leize Great G.o.d, and the profound meaning of thunder and lightning would fill the gaps.

Lin Yao made huge progress due to the way the image was actively filled up. A graphic of the Leize Great G.o.d that shone with thunder and lightning appeared in Lin Yao’s mind in just 10 minutes.

‘One has to relax one’s mind and body before one outlines the image. The image is complete and has keen, sparkling eyes. I have managed to create the Leize Great G.o.d’s image with thunder and lightning. Right now, I should be in the fourth stage.’

Although Lin Yao had used a cheap trick to get what he wanted, he had indeed reached the fourth stage of his meditation technique. This had also given him a lot of benefits.

Now that the graphic had completely condensed, Lin Yao’s consciousness moved into it, and he could feel thunder and lightning nouris.h.i.+ng his mind and strengthening his soul.

While Lin Yao was immersed in the form of the Leize Great G.o.d, he seemed to gain a deeper understanding of the profound meaning of thunder and lightning.

‘It feels so good.’

This feeling was really refres.h.i.+ng. However, within three minutes, the thunder and lightning that Lin Yao had used to outline the Leize Great G.o.d disappeared, and Lin Yao felt weak in both his body and mind.

‘What’s going on? I am very refreshed and energetic now.’

Lin Yao was indeed very energetic. However, when he looked around, he noticed that his Tree of Heaven Punishment had wilted.

‘This… The thunder and lightning that outline the Leize Great G.o.d’s divine form have come from the Tree of Heaven Punishment. I have been consuming the energy of the Tree of Heaven Punishment to enter the fourth stage of meditation.’

When he had this thought, Lin Yao was very shocked. He was afraid of hurting his Tree of Heaven Punishment.

Fortunately, he soon sensed that the Tree of Heaven Punishment had merely drained too much energy and would be able to recover in three to five days.

‘It’s alright that there is no damage to its foundation. However, this way, will my meditation level drop to the zeroth stage? I will no longer be able to use a cheat.’

Lin Yao felt that he could no longer calm down, so he simply stopped meditating. Instead, he went out to practice the Paladin Body Strengthening Technique.

The moment when his consciousness recovered, Lin Yao was stunned by the Tree of Heaven Punishment that he saw in his Sea of Consciousness.

His Heavenly Thunder proficiency had changed yet again.

Lin Yao’s talent was Heavenly Thunder Manipulation. However, this talent was not static. When he’d first undergone in-depth electric shock development, Lin Yao’s body had become sensitive to electricity due to the electric shock. Therefore, his talent had also improved. His Heavenly Thunder LV1 had advanced to Heavenly Thunder LV1 (20%).

This was the effect of the first electric shock development. After yesterday’s second electric shock development, when Lin Yao’s body had been electrocuted for a full 30 minutes, he had been able to master the thunder and lightning in his body. In the meantime, electric current also flowed into his brain, enabling him to speed up his thinking.

Although the electric current that entered his brain was very weak and the duration was very short, Lin Yao’s Heavenly Thunder proficiency went through a huge increase in that short time.

[Heavenly Thunder LV1 (60%)]

This was Lin Yao’s thunder and lightning proficiency level after the second electric shock.

The third electric shock development had yet to be carried out, but after a four-stage meditation, Lin Yao’s Heavenly Thunder proficiency had improved once again.

[Heavenly Thunder LV1 (70%)]

‘Meditating with the Leize Great G.o.d’s divine form method can actually improve my control of thunder and lightning… Well, this is an ancient thunder G.o.d after all. It will be odd if I cannot improve my mastery of thunder and lightning. I wonder if my mental strength has increased tremendously as well?’

The meditation technique initially needed time before one could see improvements. However, since Lin Yao had used a cheat and relied on the Tree of Heaven Punishment to enter the fourth stage of meditation right away, it had completely surpa.s.sed his existing spiritual realm. Therefore, instead of making slow improvements, his mental strength was much stronger now.

Of course, the Tree of Heaven Punishment had wilted, so Lin Yao could only make huge improvements once every three to five days.

‘My thinking speed should be able to increase by another second. It’s a pity that the next meditation will only take place in three to five days. The Tree of Heaven Punishment is, after all, not the spirit essence of the Leize Great G.o.d. With that around, I will have a much easier time meditating.’

Lin Yao sighed at the thought of what the future would be like. He then hurried to school after having dinner with his family, who all returned home from their training.

As soon as they arrived at school, Lin Yao, Di Qiang, and Xu Wanqing were told to gather by a vicious-looking instructor.

“Good day, Instructor.”

Lin Yao and Di Qiang were slow to react upon seeing the instructor. However, Xu Wanqing raised her hand, stood straight, and saluted him.

Given Xu Wanqing’s conditioned reflexes upon seeing the instructor, Lin Yao and Di Qiang deduced that the instructor had to be difficult to get along with.

However, Lin Yao was more interested in Di Qiang right now. He remembered clearly that the doctor had said yesterday that Di Qiang would need to rest for 10 days before he could fully recover. However, Di Qiang was back to normal after one day, which made Lin Yao wonder.

‘Is this due to his talent, or does he have a treasure… It must be a treasure. Since he has the comprehensive ability to comprehend two profound meanings while he is still a low-level martial artist, his talent must be just as good as a gold-level awakened individual’s. He is definitely eligible to trade for gold items. He must have traded for items that are useful for healing injuries. I wonder if the effect is permanent or temporary.’

While Lin Yao was thinking, a voice suddenly rang from the side.

“How dare you be distracted in front of me! Young lad, you must be very daring!”

Boom!

While the instructor used harsh words, a b.l.o.o.d.y aura also surrounded them. Lin Yao turned to take another look at the fierce-looking soldier and felt as if he was no longer looking at a human but a flagpole that had snapped in half. He seemed like a battle flag that spoke of eventful days on the battlefield.

The battle flag was stained with blood as it stood tall on a b.l.o.o.d.y sea of corpses. Lin Yao stood facing the battle flag and felt as if he was on the battlefield and tens of thousands of iron-blooded soldiers were staring down at him.

Suppression, ma.s.sacre, fright, and terror… Xu Wanqing could feel various emotions!

She felt suppressed by the iron-blooded aura and kept shaking. As for Di Qiang, who was next to her, his body stiffened, but he a.s.sumed a defensive posture.

All these things did not go unnoticed by the fierce instructor. He observed their reactions and was a little impatient upon seeing that Xu Wanqing had turned pale. Although Di Qiang’s body was stiff, the instructor seemed glad that he had gotten into a defensive posture.

‘A good seedling. Not only does he have an amazing comprehensive ability, but he also has strong willpower. Given that he can remain defensive and resistant despite being mentally suppressed, we could spend time grooming him.’

With this thought in mind, the fierce instructor turned to look at Lin Yao, who was the victor of yesterday’s battle.

‘This guy is a talented person, and the increase in his abilities is a result of his talents. Although he has weaker willpower, it will still do.’

Among the powerhouses at the same level, talented people could improve faster than ordinary people. However, as they advanced quickly without facing setbacks, they usually had weaker willpower than the martial artists who advanced through hard training. Therefore, the fierce instructor did not harbor any hope that Lin Yao would be just like Di Qiang. It would be alright as long as he was not as frightened as Xu Wanqing.

The fierce instructor, who did not expect much from Lin Yao, looked at him. He was taken aback upon seeing Lin Yao’s reaction.

“Are you not affected at all?”
