Chapter 656 Visiting the Thunderclap Sect
Li Weiyi was full of admiration. Master Coffin didn't know exactly what had happened, but he could see the most essential things from the fundamental laws of the power struggle.
Li Yuanzhe said, "If even Tang Shituo is helpless in this matter, you must not get involved. The Sword Dao Imperial Court is a behemoth."
Li Weiyi picked up the teacup, pondering without giving a clear answer.
Li Yuanzhe glanced at him and smiled, "Want to come back to Lingxiao Realm with me to relax? In your current state, it's not suitable for you to continue your secluded cultivation."
"When do we depart?" Li Weiyi asked.
Li Yuanzhe said, "Let's go now."
...
Li Weiyi and Li Yuanzhe used a space teleportation array to first go to the Moon Dragon Island outpost, and then landed on the shore of the East China Sea, where the dark realm had been restored to light and the land of the four states in the midst of war.
Although the four states under the Hungry Ghost's banner have been restored to light, they are still evil lands, and the evil has not completely disappeared.
The river was murky, the mountains were blood red, and there was no green vegetation, flowers, or fish or insects to be seen.
On the evening of the second day after arriving in this territory, on the way to the Snow Sword Tang Court camp.
Sitting on the hearse, Li Weiyi and Li Yuanzhe talked about many things, including their confusion about cultivation, formations and talismans, and the situation of the world.
The spirit tablet master, "Zuoqiu Lanshan," follows the path of ghosts and spirits, has already condensed a ghost body, and has reached the realm of immortality. He is also sitting in the car.
She perused the array manual of the "Wind, Fire, Thunder and Lightning Array" and commented, "It is truly magnificent. If you can master this array, you will have entered the inner sanctum of the art of array formations!"
"I've only reached the second stage with 3,200 array runes. The third stage is much more difficult, consisting entirely of mid-grade spirit array runes," Li Weiyi said.
Zuoqiu Lanshan said, "Next, I will teach you. If you inscribe the 1,600 mid-grade spirit array runes of the third stage on them, and then supplement them with the Golden Crow Flame, you will be invincible in the fourth realm. Moreover, this is all on your own, without the help of your coffin master."
“Cultivation can be guided, but one should not overstep one’s bounds,” Li Yuanzhe said solemnly.
Along the way, spirits would suddenly emerge from the ground, but Li Weiyi would burn them to ashes with his four-colored spiritual flames.
"Master Coffin, I heard that the Corpse Sea of Corruption is located deep within the Netherworld of the Dead, and its master, the Giant Corpse King, is a first-rate powerhouse. Did you encounter any danger?" Li Weiyi asked curiously.
Li Yuanzhe said something shocking: "I have some connection with the Giant Spirit Corpse King. He tried to persuade me to stay before I left, but I refused! Actually, we met once after you were taken away by Yu Yaozi during the battle of the East Sea, which is why I went to the Corpse Sea of Corpses to condense my corpse body."
Li Weiyi's eyes widened, as if she were hearing a fairy tale.
Master Coffin's circle of friends is so wide it's almost outrageous.
Suddenly, Li Weiyi, who was driving outside, sensed something and looked up. He saw a patrol team riding on strange flying beasts rapidly approaching from the sky.
Ten riders hovered in mid-air, their wings creating a powerful gust of wind.
The leader was Qin Feng, the youngest Longevity Realm martial artist in the Thundercloud Sect.
He was over sixty years old, but he looked no more than thirty. He was full of vigor and stood on the back of a flying bird, shouting, "Qin Feng of the Thunder Cloud Sect, in charge of patrolling and inspection, may I ask who you are?"
Li Weiyi once impersonated Qin Feng, using his status as a powerful figure in the Thunder Cloud Sect's Longevity Realm to frighten the Water Fox Fairy. Now, he has actually encountered the real deal.
Upon recalling the remains of Qin Yuan, the patriarch of the Lei Xiao Sect, Li Weiyi immediately gave his name: "Jiuli Clan, Li Weiyi."
Upon hearing this name, the ten people circling above were all greatly alarmed and hurriedly steered their flying birds down.
The hearse below had also come to a stop.
Qin Feng jumped off the flying bird, strode forward, and upon seeing Li Weiyi's face clearly, clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "It really is Li Shenyin, what a pleasure to meet you. Inside the carriage... could it be the Grand Palace Master?"
The nine people behind them all gasped in shock.
It's no wonder they think so. More than half a year has passed, and Li Weiyi's deeds in the Ancient Kingdom of Time Ruins have already spread to the Lingxiao Realm. In particular, the claim that he is the successor of the Grand Palace Master's Daoist arts has elevated Li Weiyi's status to an extremely high level.
If he's allowed to drive, what must the person inside the car be?
"No, it's not the Grand Palace Master," Li Weiyi quickly waved his hand.
Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Weiyi said, "He is my master, the leader of the Jiuli tribe."
"Greetings to the leader of the Jiuli tribe."
Qin Feng held his breath and quickly bowed deeply, offering his respects and kowtows.
Behind him, nine other people knelt down and paid their respects.
Li Yuanzhe's voice rang out from inside the carriage: "Get up. Why are you here? What's the situation here?"
"Reporting to Senior Li, we are responsible for patrolling the border of Leizhou. The Netherworld War initiated by the Snow Sword Tang Court and the Sword Dao Imperial Court has affected us, and we often have spirits intruding into Leizhou." Qin Feng's face was full of worry.
Li Yuanzhe transmitted his voice to Li Weiyi: "The eight-hundred-mile Thunder Sea of the Thunder Cloud Sect is a rare and wondrous realm in the world. If you want to refine the Wind, Fire, Thunder and Lightning Array, you can go there to collect lightning along the way. As for the Wind Fiend, the Yao Li tribe can find the Four Fiend Heavenly Wind and the Five Fiend Heavenly Wind."
"Furthermore, gathering intelligence from Leixiao Sect might be more fruitful than going to Xuejian Tangting. What Tang Wanzhou won't tell you, Tang Shituo certainly won't tell you either, but Leixiao Sect might."
Leizhou is a large prefecture located at the easternmost edge of the twenty-eight prefectures of Lingxiao, connecting the East Sea and bordering the northern frontier.
The Eight Hundred Li Thunder Sea is not only well-known in Lingxiao Realm, but also has a certain reputation in the entire southern part of Yingzhou. Twenty thousand years ago, the Thunder Cloud Sect was able to become one of the five armies that attacked the Ancient Kingdom of Year Ruins, and was on par with figures like Yu Jia and Emperor Ji.
Three thousand years ago, they were still the masters of this habitat.
Even though it has declined, the sect is still majestic and imposing, with a profound foundation.
Led by Qin Feng, the carriage arrived at the gate of Leixiao Sect on the morning of the second day.
Upon receiving the message, outside the mountain gate, led by the sect leader of Leixiao Sect, a huge crowd of people gathered to welcome him, a very high-level welcome, with disciples all present.
The vehicle came from the clouds.
"Greetings to the leader of the Nine Li!"
"Welcome to the Thundercloud Sect, Chaoran."
...
The chassis came to a stop.
With a smile on his face, the sect leader of Leixiao Sect strode toward Li Yuanzhe, who had stepped down from the carriage. He looked him up and down with great enthusiasm: "Old Li, it's been a thousand years. You've finally returned after a thousand years. What exactly happened back then? Where did you all go? More than half of the powerful figures in Yingzhou disappeared overnight. It remains the most terrifying event in history."
With the cultivation level of the Thundercloud Sect Master, he could certainly see that Li Yuanzhe had resumed the cultivation of the Corpse Path, but he remained silent about it.
"What happened back then is top secret. But I can reveal a little to you." Li Yuanzhe seemed to have a very easygoing personality.
The sect leader of Leixiao Sect was overjoyed. He took Li Yuanzhe's hand and strode into the mountain gate.
The spirit tablet master had already hidden himself away, leaving only Li Weiyi surrounded by a group of young disciples from the Thundercloud Sect.
"Greetings, Li Shenyin!"
"Legend has it that Li Shenyin killed several Taiyin Envoys of the Taiyin Sect in the ancient kingdom of the Ruins of Time. I wonder what level of cultivation those Taiyin Envoys possessed? Were they also giants of the Longevity Realm?"
"Li Shenyin also cultivates the Thunderstrike Formation, right? Could you perhaps offer some guidance?"
"Li Shenyin's breakthrough to immortality is like a roc soaring nine thousand miles, no longer a mortal like us."
...
The young disciples looked at Li Weiyi as if he were a god, just as Li Weiyi, when he was in the Five Seas Realm, looked at those giants in the Longevity Realm.
Only the Longevity Realm martial cultivators of the Thundercloud Sect know Li Weiyi's true worth.
Li Weiyi searched for Chen Jin and Lei Wu in the crowd, wanting to settle scores with them, but they were nowhere to be found. Li Weiyi considered Lu Wensheng, whom he had become acquainted with through a misunderstanding at the Thunder Cloud Sect, to be his closest friend, but he was also nowhere to be seen.
Qin Tiansong, the strongest expert below the Transcendent level in the Thunderclap Sect, is an old man with white hair and beard, over four hundred years old, who is in charge of receiving Li Weiyi.
Finally, I saw someone I knew.
Standing behind Qin Tiansong, Qin Qian looked at Li Weiyi with a gaze that was no longer cold or admiring, but rather a sense of distance and retreat, as if looking at the sky from the ground.
With Qin Tiansong's arrival, the young disciples naturally dared not make any more noise and all withdrew.
Li Weiyi and Qin Tiansong walked side by side, ascending the steps, displaying the unparalleled demeanor of successors to the Crown Prince's Daoist arts. They discussed the current state of Lingxiao Realm, and inevitably also talked about the ancient kingdom of the Ruins of Time.
Climbing the stone steps and standing beneath the ancient tower at the mountain pass, Li Weiyi finally saw the legendary eight-hundred-mile-long Thunder Sea.
"Boom!"
The sea of thunder was shrouded in clouds and the light of the array, which blocked the sound of thunder, and only a faint rumble could be heard.
The lightning flashed incessantly.
Within Li Weiyi's Divine Palace, on the Golden Elixir of Longevity, the Thunder and Lightning Scripture automatically emerged, transforming the body's magical energy into thunder and lightning, flowing through the meridians and dissipating from the body.
"The eight-hundred-mile-long sea of thunder is indeed extraordinary. Perhaps it can help me break the Azure Dragon Lock." This thought arose in Li Weiyi's mind.
Qin Tiansong sensed the intensity of the lightning emanating from Li Weiyi's body and exclaimed in surprise, "Li Shenyin's mastery of lightning magic is quite remarkable. Has he cultivated the 108-strike lightning array?"
"No matter how advanced it may be, I am still just an outsider and cannot compare with the wondrous methods of your sect. May I ask Elder Qin if I may enter the Thunder Sea to cultivate for a few days?" Li Weiyi asked.
Qin Tiansong smiled and said, "Entering the Thunder Sea for cultivation is not a big deal. I can help you activate the formation."
"Then I would be extremely grateful. The money that Qin Qian and the Leixiao Sect disciples owe me is now wiped clean," Li Weiyi said.
Qin Tiansong stared blankly at Qin Qian.
Qin Qian was speechless. The so-called giants of the Longevity Realm and the successors of the Dao were really stingy, remembering even a single Yongquan coin.
...
Inside the Thunder God Temple, the statue of the Thunder God, cast in metal, is ferocious and glaring, standing over twenty feet tall.
It was awe-inspiring, as if it could come alive.
The sect leader of Leixiao Sect looked solemn: "You mean to say that this involves the ancient secret of Yingzhou being shrouded in the Netherworld of the Dead? And that there are deeper reasons behind the Netherworld Calamity a thousand years ago?"
"I can't say any more! The reason I'm telling you this is that I hope you will prioritize the overall situation... or to put it another way, prioritize your own cultivation, and not add fuel to the fire in the chaos of Lingxiao Realm. I know the foundation and strength of Leixiao Sect; you are far stronger than you appear on the surface."
Looking at the Thunderclap Sect Master who was deep in thought, Li Yuanzhe didn't think he could persuade him with this, so he stopped talking and asked instead, "Has something happened to Xuejian Tangting?"
