Lingyun and his group arrived at that mountain peak.

After looking at it carefully for a while, I felt more and more that the power of that lightning was definitely extraordinary.

"It is highly likely that the lightning was generated by Lei Zechi. The laws of heaven here are complete, and it would be difficult for normal lightning techniques to shatter a mountain!"

Qiongqi spoke up.

Ling Yun nodded slightly and bent down to place his hand on the spot where the lightning had struck.

He used the power of time and his mental energy to sense for a long time, and a picture appeared in his mind.

A thunder pool, each foot square, rushed into the Ruins of Return.

It is hunting down a living being, which seems to be from an extremely ancient era.

The moment Ling Yun saw that creature, his pupils shrank to a tiny size; this creature was none other than the world-destroying being.

The moment the creatures that had destroyed the world fled to this mountain, they were found by Lei Zechi, who instantly unleashed a terrifying bolt of lightning.

Almost instantly, the man was struck by lightning and his body and soul were completely destroyed.

"Is this the power of Lei Zechi?"

Ling Yun muttered to himself, "The world-destroying creature was incredibly powerful, yet it was instantly killed by Lei Zechi."

He calmed himself down and continued watching the scenes of time rewinding, as Lei Zechi rushed out of the Ruins of Return.

It then transformed into a bolt of lightning and entered a spatial gate at the southernmost part of the Tang Domain.

Upon seeing that spatial gate, Ling Yun's pupils contracted slightly; it was none other than a forbidden area.

Ling Yun suddenly remembered a lightning zone they encountered in the restricted area, where he had sent A Bao and the others to undergo their tribulation.

I never imagined that the lightning zone was created by Lei Zechi.

After watching the time rewind, Ling Yun's face lit up with joy, and he looked at everyone and said:

"Lei Zechi is located in that lightning zone within the restricted area!"

Upon hearing this, Qiongqi, Dasheng, and the others were overjoyed, for having a location meant they could find Lei Zechi.

Finding the Thunder Pool will grant them access to the original patterns of lightning, at which point their destructive power will reach a new level.

Ling Yun waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and then said:

"I saw that Lei Zechi came to hunt down the world-destroying creatures."

These words shocked everyone.

"Is the owner of Lei Zechi an ally?"

Qiongqi asked.

Ling Yun paused for a moment and then said:

"If it has an owner, then even if its owner is not an ally, it must be a sworn enemy of the world-destroying creatures."

The Great Sage asked:

"Should we go look for it now, or..."

Ling Yun thought for a moment and said:

"Let's deal with Tang Yu's troubles first. We can rest easy with Lei Zechi in the restricted area."

The group nodded slightly and then sealed the Ruins of Return to prevent it from being used by the Demon Subduing Star Domain again.

After completing all this, Ling Yun and his group left the Ruins of Return and arrived at the entrance.

Seeing Lingxi and the Crimson Phoenix return safely, Yan Ruyu and Xiao Yanran rushed over and hugged them tightly.

Ah Bao and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

The Sea Dragon King glanced at Lingxi and the Crimson Phoenix, then looked at Lingyun and the others.

"Fellow Daoists, there are indeed Buddhists in the Land of Return to Nothingness."

Ling Yun nodded slightly. "Yes, billions of Buddhist troops. If it hadn't been discovered in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"We are so grateful to Lingxi and Xiaofeng today, otherwise we would never have known that a powerful army was lurking here."

Hiss~

The Dragon King of the Sea gasped, a wave of fear washing over him. If war had broken out and a powerful army had attacked from behind, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Thank you all, fellow Daoists! Otherwise, my Sea Dragon Clan would have been in grave danger!"

Ling Yun laughed:

"Your Majesty, please don't blame yourself. Who would have thought that an army would be lurking in the Ruins of Return?"

"Then I won't disturb Your Majesty's peaceful cultivation any longer. Until we meet again!"

Immediately afterwards, Ling Yun and his group, along with the pond owner, left Zhonghai and arrived at the headquarters of the Anglers' Alliance.

For the next few months, Lingyun and his group continued to stay on the island.

Firstly, the group was quite tired from the continuous hiking, and secondly, the island was a paradise, so they wanted to stay there for a while.

Secondly, Lingyun needs to perfect the static symbol; it is no easy task to completely replicate billions of lines.

It took Lingyun three whole months to finish drawing the stillness talisman.

Seeing the fundamental patterns of matter within that aura, Ling Yun was greatly shocked, for it contained some forces that were the opposite of the power of One.

One can make everything in the world move.

That power can make everything in the world stand still instantly.

Ling Yun was increasingly shocked and delighted as he looked at the sight, and he inadvertently glimpsed one of the most powerful forces.

However, while Ling Yun could find the origin patterns of that power, it was difficult for him to unleash it unless he could thoroughly understand all the patterns.

This is no easy task and will take a long time.

If it were that easy to control, wouldn't things be in chaos?

However, if people knew that Ling Yun had copied the original patterns in such a short time, it would be enough to shock the world.

Taking a deep breath, Ling Yun put away the stillness talisman, stood up, and stretched.

Then I went back to bed and fell asleep.

For the past three months, Qiongqi and Abao have been having a great time, while Lingyun has been drawing talismans, pondering, and comprehending the Dao in the Daoist temple.

Exhausted, he fell asleep uncontrollably as soon as he lay down on the bed.

I slept for seven days straight, and when I woke up, I felt refreshed.

Suddenly, Ling Yun was slightly taken aback; he had actually broken through the cultivation level.

Celestial King!

There were no signs or fluctuations whatsoever.

"This is my spiritual body, not my primary or secondary body. Logically, my strength and realm should be fixed, so it's strange that I can still break through!"

After thinking for a moment, Ling Yun took out a Stasis Talisman.

"It must be because I've recently grasped too many things and been constantly fighting, so I couldn't control my cultivation level anymore."

The absence of fluctuation should be the effect of the stillness spell.

Ling Yun whispered, and soon he said with delight:

"If the clone cultivates to become an Immortal Emperor and merges with the main body, even if it cannot become a Sacrificial Immortal, it will still possess combat power close to that of a Sacrificial Immortal."

Ling Yun put away the stillness talisman, calmed himself down, and got up to open the door.

At this moment, Ling Shan took small, quick steps into the courtyard. Seeing that Ling Yun was awake, her face lit up with joy, and she said:

"Brother, let's go eat~ We're leaving tomorrow."

"Okay~" Ling Yun affectionately rubbed Ling Shan's head, picked her up, and carried her to the pond master's dojo.

Upon seeing Ling Yun break through his cultivation barrier and become an Immortal King, Qiongqi, the Great Sage, and the Golden Lion were immediately shocked.

They didn't ask, knowing that Ling Yun was too extraordinary; it seemed not impossible for him to make his clone break through the realm.

After taking their seats, the pond owner raised his glass and smiled:

"You are all leaving tomorrow, and I am very reluctant to see you go. Tonight, we must drink until we drop, and no one is allowed to use spiritual power to sober up."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them down in one gulp.

After several rounds of drinks, the pond owner asked:

"Next, you will be heading to the Northern Continent. Starry Sky Academy is located in the far north of the Northern Continent."

However, the first city you pass through, Fire South City, is the ancestral home of the Dean of Starry Sky Academy!

Abao asked curiously:

"Who is the dean of Starry Sky Academy?"

The pond owner said:

"Nangong Chen, the only True Immortal native to the Tang Region."

Nangong Chen?

Suddenly, Abao remembered that he had encountered the Starry Sky Bandits on his way to Qinyu and rescued a woman while raiding their lair.

The woman's name was Nangong Xi.
