[Illumination]
[Ding, due to the creation of a new martial technique with unknown potential, you have entered a state of enlightenment.]
The notification resonated in Jian Ning's mind as he slipped into this mystical state. Immediately, he felt a profound change in his perception of time, as if every second stretched and slowed, allowing his mind to delve deeper into complex thoughts and insights.
Jian Ning suddenly felt a profound connection with the natural elements around him, particularly the wind and thunder. A flood of ideas and questions overwhelmed his mind, each thought striving to uncover the mysteries of these elemental forces.
What is thunder? A simple force of nature or something far more profound?
Thunder can both attack and defend.
Lightning, with its unpredictable and immense power, is omnipresent. It exists everywhere, around us and within us. Jian Ning began to ponder the true essence of lightning, sensing that this understanding could reveal even deeper secrets of the universe.
As his mind explored these questions, Jian Ning felt his connection with lightning grow stronger. Every spark, every flash of insight advanced his knowledge further.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for comprehending the semi-artistic conception of lightning at 10%.]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for improving the semi-artistic conception of lightning to 50%.]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for improving the semi-artistic conception of lightning to 100%.]
Jian Ning's understanding of lightning had significantly increased, reaching the peak of what is called the semi-artistic conception. But as he stood on the brink of a new revelation, he encountered a barrier, an invisible wall preventing him from reaching the higher level of artistic conception.
A bottleneck!
However, Jian Ning was not discouraged by this obstacle. He deliberately ignored the bottleneck and continued to delve deeper into his understanding, determined not to let this rare opportunity of enlightenment slip away.
He knew that the state of enlightenment was a rare and precious blessing that he did not want to waste.
After a few minutes of intense contemplation, a new notification suddenly rang in his mind.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for comprehending the artistic conception of lightning of rank 1 at 10%.]
Hearing this notification, Jian Ning felt immense satisfaction. He then decided to use the remaining time to explore another path: understanding the wind. If he could master both lightning and wind, his power would be unmatched.
As he had done with lightning, Jian Ning began to ask fundamental questions about the wind.
What is the wind? Why can it be as gentle as a breeze at times and as sharp as a blade at others?
The wind is omnipresent. It is tasteless, colorless, here without really being here, powerful yet subtle. It exists without existing!
He recalled the old adage: "He who sows the wind reaps the whirlwind."
The wind is both vital and dangerous.
To master the wind is to master life itself.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for comprehending the semi-artistic conception of the wind at 10%.]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for improving the semi-artistic conception of the wind to 30%.]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for improving the semi-artistic conception of the wind to 70%.]
Time passed, and Jian Ning's state of enlightenment began to fade. Fortunately, this enlightenment did not create any celestial phenomena, which was probably due to his low level of cultivation. No celestial phenomena occurred.
It was a pity that the artistic conceptions of wind and lightning were not at the same level. This was surely because he had a better talent for lightning than for wind and had put more effort into understanding lightning.
Jian Ning slowly got out of bed, clenching his fist firmly to feel the power of his body.
"Ling! Show me the description of 'Hurricane Sword Art'," ordered Jian Ning, eager to discover the true potential of this martial technique.
After all, it was Ling that created this technique, although it was thanks to his talent and previous techniques. But it remained largely due to Ling.
[Hurricane Sword Art first movement: a low profound rank sword art created by the genius Jian Ning after merging two high young rank sword arts, with the power to rival the best middle profound rank sword techniques. This technique can only be used by its creator Jian Ning. It currently has only one movement, the creator can create as many movements as his understanding of artistic conception and sufficient WE allows.]
Ling's description was clear and precise, which made Jian Ning's mood even better than it had been a few moments earlier.
In the wake of his good mood, Jian Ning took the book 'Thunder Cloud Legs' and learned it without too much trouble.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for learning the high yellow rank martial technique 'Thunder Cloud Legs' to the initial level.]
"Ling, use the rest of my WE on 'Thunder Cloud Legs'," ordered Jian Ning.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for using 986 WE and advancing 'Thunder Cloud Legs' to the minor accomplishment level.]
Suddenly, a great amount of ideas surged into Jian Ning's mind, but he was already prepared and accustomed to this kind of situation.
"Ling, show me my status," Jian Ning ordered again.

Seeing his status so filled, Jian Ning was very satisfied with himself.
He was also pleased with the improvement of certain martial skills that he had manually increased, like the 'Leaf Sword Technique'.
"It's time to train!! I will cultivate for a few hours and then train my new technique," Jian Ning said to himself.
"But before that, I need to go sell my prey to 'Sky Flower', a superpower that dominates the commerce of the Cloudy Sky Continent," Jian Ning thought as he left the residence of the fourth elder and headed towards the branch of the 'Sky Commerce Company' in Tianjin City.
Of course, he did not forget to notify his parents, to avoid his mother bursting into tears if she didn't know where he was.
