Jiangshi: From Palm Thunder to the Ancestral Divine Sky Thunder Technique

Gu Qing entered Maoshan at the age of seven and became the personal disciple of Shi Jian, the Thunderbolt Dharma King.

At eighteen, he finally learned his first true thunder technique from Shi Jian: Palm Thunder.

Then his golden finger finally awakened, too.

[ Palm Thunder mastered. ]

[ All Techniques Return to Their Origins. ]

[ Obtained: Divine Heaven Thunder Technique: Violet Heaven Thunder Seal. ]

On his first trip down the mountain, Qianhe was escorting a royal zombie when they ran into a thunderstorm. The golden coffin shattered, the zombie mutated, and the five master and disciple nearly died fighting it.

When Gu Qing arrived, he only had to raise a hand once.

Boom!

Violet heavenly thunder split the night sky.

Half the mountain was gone.

So was the royal zombie.

Qianhe fell silent.

Simei fell silent.

Later, Gu Qing arrived in Renjia Town.

Uncle Jiu taught him how to read qi.

The next day, standing before the tomb of Old Master Ren, Gu Qing casually remarked as he looked at the dragon vein winding for dozens of miles underground:

"Uncle-Master, this dragon vein is about to be devoured by corpse qi."

Uncle Jiu: "?"

Later still:

The Corpse-Sealing Talisman returned to its origin as the Supreme Yi Corpse-Locking Talisman.

Paper Doll Technique returned to its origin as the Yellow Turban Warrior Technique.

Corpse-Driving Technique returned to its origin as the Five Sacred Mountains Corpse-Commanding Order.

Bean-Sprinkling Soldiers returned to its origin as the Five Camps Heavenly Army Technique...

Looking at the Daoist soldiers covering the mountainside behind Gu Qing, then at the churning purple sea of thunder overhead, Uncle Jiu finally couldn't help looking at Shi Jian.

"Senior Brother."

"What exactly did you teach him?"

Shi Jian was silent for a long time.

"...Palm Thunder."
