There weren't many times Xukong took an interest like this, thus Lin Mu wondered why he was so surprised. "It's been a while since I saw a user of the Thunderclap Titan Form… or any Titan Form for that matter," Xukong replied. Hearing the new term, Titan Form, Lin Mu was intrigued. "What is Titan Form?" Lin Mu asked. "There are some cultivation techniques that can manifest a unique elemental form. It is an amalgamation of the cultivation technique, a Dao Embryo as well as the proficiency of the user with the element itself." Xukong replied. "The Thunderclap Titan Form is one such Titan Form that belongs to the Lightning element." "Wait so… it's not just due to the Thunderclap Nine Heavens Cutlass technique?" Lin Mu asked feeling confused. He had thought that the Thunderclap Titan Form was simply part of the cultivation technique, but what Xukong was saying implied something else. "No… the Technique might give him the base to trigger it, but he still needs the right kind of Dao Embryo as well as a thorough understanding of the lightning element." Xukong explained. "In fact, there can be other lightning based cultivation techniques that might be able to manifest the Thunderclap Titan Form as well." He added. "I see… So there are others?" Lin Mu asked, feeling curious. "Yes… there are tens of them. Though they aren't seen often now. Though in the past, they used to be quite famous." Xukong replied. "Have they become rare?" Lin Mu questioned. "In a way, yes… there are trends that change as the universe progresses. Cultivation techniques change, evolve and improve, while some disappear into the annals of time. The Titan Forms faced something similar once there weren't enough practitioners of it." Xukong answered. "It was also created in a time when the Qi cultivation techniques were considered inferior to body cultivation techniques." He revealed. "Such a long time ago?" Lin Mu knew that cultivation had originally started with body cultivation and Qi cultivation had come later on. Back then Qi cultivation was considered inferior and not many practiced it. It was still new, thus there weren't proper skills for it either, which led it to being weak. But later on, as people improved the Qi cultivation techniques and made them easier to learn than body cultivation techniques, they became popular. For body cultivation techniques, people needed tough minds and will power, which not everyone had. Qi cultivation solved this by allowing even those with a weaker mentality to cultivate and get stronger. Those who were destined to be weak obtained the chance to become several times stronger than before. That was how the advent of Qi cultivation started. "Yes… it was a different time." Xukong spoke. "The Titan Forms were created to match the strong bodies of body cultivators. Since Qi cultivators in that form are able to manifest giant indestructible bodies that can easily compete against the Body cultivators." He explained. "Hmm… but when I fought Tian Ning, his Titan Form was certainly strong but not indestructible." Lin Mu replied. He had to admit the power of the form, but it didn't exactly match Xukong's words. "Of course not. The Titan Form that Tian Ning used could barely be considered as the Thunderclap Titan Form. A true Titan Form would be hundreds of meters in size and several times tougher than what you fought. Tian Ning simply hasn't reached that level yet." Xukong clarified. "Whoa… that strong?" Lin Mu could barely imagine a form that big. "Just the fact that Tian Ning can use it right now is a testament to his talent. Most wouldn't be able to manifest a Titan form until they reached the peak of the immortal realm." Xukong replied. "And what would it take for one to manifest the kind of Titan Form that you are talking about Senior?" Lin Mu questioned. "Being a celestial would be the minimum," Xukong answered. "A Celestial…" Lin Mu was at a loss for words. "At the very least, we can say that Tian Ning would certainly become a Celestial one day." Xukong praised. It was rare for him to praise other people like this, making Lin Mu take note of Tian Ning. His character also seemed to be relatively good, thus he wouldn't mind being a cordial acquaintance with him at least. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢 'Where is he though now?' Lin Mu wondered if he should pay a visit to Tian Ning. The man was injured from his final attack, thus should be the Healing pavilion. "I guess I'll go check him out." Lin Mu muttered. "It might be good to be allies with him." Xukong replied. "But more important than that, whoever is teaching him is even more important." He added. "His master?" Lin Mu asked. "It is highly likely his master… is a celestial too." Xukong replied. Hearing that, Lin Mu became serious and put it up as a priority. He quickly messaged his companions and told them he'll meet them in some time. They also assured him that everything was fine and that he could take his time. There were still the two matches running and it didn't seem like they would be ending anytime soon. Lin Mu glanced at the Formation screens in the distance and saw that the fights were evenly matched. "We probably have quite some time." Lin Mu muttered. Once this cycle of four fights was over, they would take a couple of hours for a break before scheduling the next cycle of four fights. It was unknown who was going to battle, thus Lin Mu needed to be ready for it. After all, it could be any of Lin Mu's companions and he wished to be ready for it. There was no saying who would need his help and Lin Mu would still need some time to infiltrate the Spatial Planes again. 'I best hurry up.' Lin Mu thought and made his way to the healing pavilion. Thankfully, it was nearby, and it didn't take him more than five minutes to reach it.
