Thaumaturgy

Outside the pill furnace, white goose and Bai Hua Fairy both breathed out in relief.

"Ok" white goose said, "now we'll have to see his luck, whether or not he can awaken a Thaumaturgy after breaking through"

"As long as he's safe, having a Thaumaturgy or not doesn't matter" Bai Hua Fairy casually said.

On the Omniverse Chat Guild, four patterns appeared on the wheel.

A line of text appeared in the middle of the wheel.

[Pick one of the 4 Thaumaturgy to awaken]

Wang Li was a little surprised at being able to choose out of so many.

Looking at the four patterns, he found whichever he looks at will light up and shows him a detailed description.

The fourth pattern are two silver slithering snakes.

As he looked at it, the two snakes quickly twisted together, forming one big words

"Smiting"

Wang Li's heart jumped a bit.

Then he looked at the detailed description

[Thaumaturgy: Smiting]

[Description: Choosing from Life or Death, You will either get a CC/escape lightning method or a destructive lightning method.]

The second pattern is a fist.

[Martial Thaumaturgy: Fire Fist]

[Description: Attack with your fist, within a 3-meter radius, as you use martial arts, you can hit your opponent with the strength of a normal fist attack plus a fire based attack.]

With any martial artist, this would be quite a decent ability, but Wang Li feels that he should just keep going on the path of the sword.

Regretfully, he also skipped this one.

The third pattern is a girl.

[God's Chosen Skill: Female transformation]

[Description: After use, the user will become female. Allure +1000%, personal strength increased to 115%]

Wang Li doesn't even hesitate to skip this ability.

He's feeling a bit anxious now.

Don't tell me I couldn't even get a better useful Thaumaturgy?

If there's no choice, he can only choose Smiting, it's a practical Thaumaturgy, all things considered and it saved Gu Qing Shan's life multiple times.

Wang Li sighed, then looked at the last pattern.

The fourth pattern showed a shadow of a man with countless eyes.

As he looked at it, the shadow formed two big words.

"Shadow Monarch"

As he saw that, Wang Li's heart jumped again.

"It's this!!"

He spoke with a slight trembling voice.

He doesn't even need to check the description and immediately chose this Thaumaturgy.

[The user has picked Shadow Monarch to be his Thaumaturgy]

As it said so, the text in the air disappeared.

[Thaumaturgy awaken: Shadow Monarch]

[Thaumaturgy first level: Shadow Extraction, is now usable]

[Shadow Extraction: Extract the shadow of the dead to create a shadow soldier loyal to you. Maximum number of tries in case of failure; 3. The success rate depends upon difference in power and difference in will power]

Wang Li was first stunned, then jumped in joy.

This is a true One Man Army Skill, for a Profession with strong and deadly physical attacks like a sword cultivator, having a One Man Army Skill is like a tiger being given wings in war.

Not to mention, Shadow Extraction is merely at the first level, as the thaumaturgy is unlocked more and more, Wang Li believes he'll unlock the second and third level, gaining more skills from it.

To him, Smiting: Lightning of Death is strong but he won't be as used to it as he does the sword, while Smiting: Lightning of Life give him something that can be replaced by many skills in the omniverse.

In this moment, he's extremely glad he chose Shadow Monarch.

Wang Li silently felt himself, opening the palm of his hand.

A purple-black, chaotic shadow appeared, floating in his hand.

Wang Li grabbed it, and felt it. It felt like death but was strangely comfortable.

As Gu Qing Shan circulated his spirit energy he noticed the spirit energy in his Dantian indeed has an element now.

Shadow element.

Gu Qing Shan silently raised his Earth sword.

A purple, shadowy darkness appeared on the sword.

Then, very quickly, the darkness bursts.

Numerous arcs of Black darkness with purple dots circled the shaft of the sword, constantly appearing and disappearing.

Outside the pill furnace, both white goose and Bai Hua Fairy noticed this miraculous sight.

White goose went silent, then sighed in relief.

"Ahahaha, it's Dark type! Dark type! Finally a bit competent, this Saint didn't make a mistake after all"

Anyone nearby could probably hear Bai Hua Fairy's silvery bell of a laugh.

Bai Hua Palace

"There's many protection formations here, as well as pills and spirit cooking, since you've just broken through, take the time to stabilize your realm"

"We won't stay here, we'll come back to check on you tomorrow"

As Bai Hua Fairy said so, the white goose flapped his wings and flew away alongside Bai Hua Fairy.

Wang Li finally has the chance to slowly savor the feeling of being a Foundation Establishment realm.

In theory, the best thing to do right now is to concentrate on circulating his spirit energy, to stabilize his cultivation. And that is exactly what he did by letting shadow clones do the job. Now his limit is 80. He let 10 of them to stabilize his realm, 60 of them to study the six arts in this world, and 10 of them to study Fuinjutsu.

After that, he cut off all other thoughts in his mind, pulled out Earth sword and started to practice his swordsmanship and sword arts.

This practice continued into the night, after which he dispelled his clones. He remade his clones to practice all his skills. He then sat down and digested the information he got from the clones.

It was only when dawn came again that Wang Li stopped and started to chat in the Omniverse Chat Guild.

A bit later, White goose carried a giant bucket as he slowly walked in.

"What is that? A medicine bath?" Wang Li asked.

"What medicine bath, this is your breakfast" White goose answered.

Wang Li hurriedly waved his hands: "I can't eat that much"

White goose smiled brightly, saying: "Just eat however much you can then"

As he heard that, Wang Li looked over.

It was all spirit rice.... no, not quite, they were actually all pills that were about the size of spirit rice.

"All these are ingredients good for regulating the body, you can eat first" as white goose finish explaining, he turned around and left.

There was only Wang Li alone in the hall.

He smelled it.

How alluring.

He suddenly remembered Gu Qing Shan getting this same food after his breakthrough.

If Bai Hua Fairy herself made this, then it couldn't be anything bad.

Fine then, even if he can't finish it, he'll at least eat as much as he can.

Wang Li took the bowl and chopsticks, filled it with the pills and started to eat.

No need to mention, but the state is excellent.

As he ate, he continued to chat with other guild members.

He activated his shadow clones again and started to learn more and more sword skills and techniques.

After that, Wang Li simply ignored it and went back to eating nonstop.

After half an hour.

The entire large bucket of spirit cooking was finished by him alone.

Wang Li looked at the empty bucket, a bit confused.

Since when am I a bottomless pit?

He was surprised, even after thinking for a bit, he still couldn't understood and can only attribute it to a cooking technique.

'To allow someone to unknowingly eat an entire bucket of food and still isn't full, that's some real skill.'

Wang Li was a bit impressed.

"Second brother"

White goose stood at the gate, gesturing at him with his wings.

"Let's go outside and work a bit to get used to your new cultivation"

"Yes" Wang Li happily replied.

After arriving at the sparring area the white goose sparred with him. As they sparred Wang Li continued to improve his swordsmanship focusing on speed and precision.

While white goose was looking at him, he squinted his eyes, muttering: "His swordsmanship is rapidly progressing, seems almost like he was naturally born to use the sword"
