Chapter 438 White Thunderstorm withered old man
The free-floating thunder energy in the air of Jilei Mountain is almost solidified. When living beings pass through it, their scalps tingle and their hair stands on end.
The crackling sound accompanied the movements of walking, sitting, and lying down, and it could even produce visible electric sparks.
The Wind and Thunder Secret Technique, which Wang Yu used frequently before, is particularly active here. This secret technique originally came from the Bai family of Guiling City and was one of the spoils of their extermination.
It is a third-order incomplete technique. The incompleteness here refers to the inheritance of the technique. This individual secret technique is not problematic. The Wind and Thunder Secret Technique is most suitable for use in combination with body refining cultivation.
However, since there was no empty space for placement, and Wang Yu's body cultivation had not improved for a long time, he inevitably neglected this aspect.
We've now arrived at this special place, Jilei Mountain.
Wang Yu then discovered another great advantage of body cultivators: the tempering they can receive from the outside world is not limited to the evil energy of heaven and earth. As long as there is a special environment or extreme climate, they can get good training results.
More importantly, his survival ability is enhanced by the dual benefits of immortal bones and silver blood marrow, making him difficult to be affected by external forces, which brings benefits in many ways.
Like ordinary cultivators, when they come to Jilei Mountain, they must maintain a magical protective shield for twelve hours a day. If too much of this free-floating thunder energy accumulates, it will easily attract lightning strikes.
One moment of carelessness could result in serious injury.
Judging from the intensity of the lightning, cultivators at or below the Core Formation stage would have a hard time withstanding it; this was new information he had gained from his own experience.
As time goes by.
As Wang Yu traveled westward, he got closer and closer to the location recorded in the Thunder and Fire Remnant Map. The surrounding rocks were almost glassy, and the lightning here was so dense that it seemed as if thunderstorms were happening all the time.
Lightning kept striking the mountaintop, and the air was thick with the acrid energy of thunder.
"It's truly magnificent..."
Wang Yu clicked his tongue in amazement. The spectacle of a thunderstorm washing over a mountain was a rare sight, no matter where it was. The intensity of the lightning here was enough to kill Foundation Establishment cultivators and severely injure Core Formation cultivators.
Anyone who is struck by lightning more than three times will undoubtedly die if they are a Core Formation cultivator.
This may be the third reason why no one occupies Jilei Mountain.
"According to the records in the Thunder and Fire Remnant Map, the special thunder that heaven and earth nurtured should be here."
Wang Yu muttered to himself.
However, no matter how he used his divine sense to investigate, the lightning here was just normal white lightning, without anything special about it, and it didn't even have any divine power.
Aside from being denser and having greater power.
It seems... quite ordinary?
"No, since there is such an unusual phenomenon, there must be a special reason behind it. It is impossible for such an environment to form out of nowhere."
My mind raced.
When faced with difficulties, Wang Yu will not give up easily.
A little while later.
They then focused their attention on the lightning clouds, but after approaching and investigating, they still found nothing. So they turned their attention to the ground, but still found nothing.
There is none, neither in the sky nor on the ground.
That leaves only... lightning itself.
Even if it is ordinary, it is the most puzzling thing about this special environment.
Wang Yu attempted to use the Thunder-Swallowing and Lightning-Spitting Secret Technique to directly absorb the power of the thunderstorm. This secret technique originated from Purple Lightning and should be one of the secret teachings of the Thunderfire Temple.
By absorbing the lightning nurtured by nature, one can acquire a lightning spiritual root in their physical body, making it much easier to cultivate lightning-based techniques and supernatural powers.
The power of using Thunder Path Divine Power will be stronger than that of a power that does not match the attribute.
The strength of the lightning spiritual root nurtured depends entirely on the strength of the lightning absorbed by the cultivator. Wang Yu is currently at the Nascent Soul stage, and his upper limit is extremely high.
As long as the absorbed lightning power is appropriate, it wouldn't be surprising to give birth to a lightning spirit root at the Heavenly Spirit Root level; it's just ordinary.
After all, he possessed a congenital demonic body.
As the secret technique was activated, strands of white lightning continuously curved and gathered, gradually forming a giant white cocoon flashing with lightning, as if the dark clouds in the sky were being pulled down.
The white lightning bolts fell even faster and more densely.
The power of the thunderstorm was being continuously absorbed by Wang Yu, and then repeatedly compressed and condensed. The "Dragon Spine" cultivated by the Yinming Demon Dragon Technique was showing good results.
The silver blood essence inside was stronger than lightning, and it could help compress the power of lightning, which caused a black spiritual root that looked like a tendon to begin to sprout.
Undoubtedly, this is the Thunder Spirit Root cultivated by the Thunder Swallowing and Lightning Spitting Secret Technique. However, its shape is slightly different from what Wang Yu imagined, and its compatibility with the dragon spine is extremely high.
The white thunderstorm outside seemed impatient, rushing into Wang Yu's body, causing his black lightning spirit root to extend and grow continuously, and the situation was excellent.
at the same time.
Located at the foot of Jilei Mountain on the eastern border of Liuju Prefecture.
Wanglei City.
A Nascent Soul cultivator from the Refining Heaven Demon Sect, stationed in a border city to guard against powerful individuals entering the country, was looking strangely toward the interior of Mount Jilei.
Although he couldn't know exactly what had happened, the powerful divine sense that came with the Nascent Soul stage allowed him to know that the strange thunderstorm had been triggered.
Based on his years of experience, a thunderstorm of that scale would be fine at the edges, but if you were in the center, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be in serious trouble.
Aside from cultivators specializing in the path of thunder who would enter Jilei Mountain to cultivate, very few cultivators from other places would specifically venture there.
Occasionally, they might encounter someone who is unfamiliar with the environment and die unexpectedly.
The old man, who called himself the "Old Man of Withered Glory," felt a slight stirring in his heart.
He then set off from Wanglei City, preparing to go into the mountains to collect corpses. The corpses normally produced in Jilei Mountain are very popular among corpse cultivators and are often sold to various places.
Among them, the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect made the largest acquisitions.
Currently, due to the war between the righteous and the demonic forces, the number of independent cultivators has plummeted, resulting in a significant reduction in the production of Wanglei City's specialty, "corpses struck by lightning."
The impact extends to all aspects of life. While the overall economy of Chiyuan is declining, individual strength and wealth are growing rapidly, with countless people becoming rich overnight.
The 800-li Jilei Mountain is a natural resource site.
It's the perfect place for Nascent Soul cultivators to scavenge for "trash," since they won't face any life-threatening dangers and can even pull off a double-cross.
For the elderly, it is also a considerable fortune. Over time, it can accumulate to a considerable amount. They only need to make an occasional trip there when they have time, which will not interfere with anything.
So, this time he did the same thing as always.
I'm going to Jilei Mountain to see who this lucky person is who has traveled so far to send their life savings.
"Hmph hmph haha~"
The withered old man hummed a little tune as he took a step into the air.
The cloud gates opened to both sides, leaving behind a magnificent cloud path, as light and graceful as ever.
Thunderstorm area.
After absorbing the energy for most of the day, the vast white thunderstorm that had enveloped the area shrank by more than half. Wang Yu's expression became slightly ferocious, and red veins, like blood vessels and tree roots, covered his body with lightning-struck patterns.
With each breath, countless lightning bolts spewed forth, and thunder rumbled from his abdomen.
If he initially had the idea of giving it a try, even if the white thunderstorm wasn't the lightning recorded in the fragment of the Thunderfire Diagram, it wouldn't matter if his guess was wrong.
After all, he was thinking of it as something that was dispensable.
If it exists, it's a bonus; if not, it's acceptable.
Mount Jilei is so ancient that if it truly possessed strange lightning born of heaven and earth, it might have been removed long ago.
But... well, the result was...
He has had very good fortune and opportunities.
The white thunderstorm was some kind of scattered, strange lightning. For some reason, its power was dispersed and it had no special force, so it looked no different from ordinary white lightning.
However, through the absorption and condensation of the Thunder-Swallowing Secret Technique, the peculiar black thunder spirit root within the dragon's spine continued to grow, and a peculiar black lightning gradually filled the body.
The physical body cultivated through the Yinming Demon Dragon Technique deeply interacted with the black lightning, and the Yinming Qi and blood merged with it, giving birth to wisps of dark lightning.
The special effects have been taken to a whole new level, and this lightning has an effect on strengthening the physical body, just like a cheat code for training, constantly training the body for him.
He was very familiar with this feeling, as if he had an extra slot that could only hold the "Yinming Demon Dragon Technique".
"What a thunderous strike!"
The white lightning cocoon shattered, and Wang Yu suddenly leaped out of it, his eyes gleaming with divine light. He opened his mouth and took a deep breath, and the storm of lightning seemed like small fish and seawater being swallowed by a whale.
Wang Yu swallowed them all in one gulp.
The physical body at the early stage of the fourth-order body refinement is like the most solid cage in the world. No matter how fierce the thunderstorm is, it cannot break through its restraint.
Wang Yu sat cross-legged in the void, his white hair dancing wildly, and he was fully activating the Thunder-Swallowing Secret Technique.
…………
…………
The old man, Ku Rong, arrived late.
He spotted Wang Yu from afar, his eyes wide with astonishment. He truly hadn't expected that the white thunderstorm zone, which had raged for so many years, would one day be completely swallowed up by someone.
"What astonishing cultivation in the Dao of Thunder."
As he frowned in deep thought, apart from Lei Houjun, who had long been famous in Chi Yuan, he really couldn't think of a second fellow Daoist with such attainments in the Dao of Thunder.
"Could he be a hermit cultivator from the mountains... or perhaps someone from Taihu Lake?"
My mind is filled with countless thoughts.
The withered old man watched from afar, showing no intention of approaching. Getting too close at this time would easily be seen as having ulterior motives.
According to the rules of the Chi Yuan cultivation world, even just watching him was impolite, so it would be normal for him to be beaten up.
Another half hour later, the lightning on Wang Yu's body gradually subsided, and all the strange phenomena returned to normal.
A black lightning bolt appeared between his eyebrows, its edges softer, resembling an elongated "S". The strange lightning in this place was only briefly absorbed into his body.
To completely refine it, one needs to go into seclusion for at least a month.
Now is clearly not the right time.
Wang Yu slowly stood up, his gaze fixed on the old man in the distance.
"Fellow Daoist, since you're here, why not come over and exchange ideas?"
"hey-hey."
The old man was not afraid.
In just a few steps, he was only three steps away from her.
"I am Ku Rong, the patriarch of Wang Lei City, and one of the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Refining Heaven Demon Sect. How shall I address you, fellow Daoist?"
Wang Yu raised an eyebrow and suddenly relaxed his fist.
"The Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, the Cold Blood Peak Ancestor, the Ultimate Technique."
"Frostblood Peak? Extreme Technique?"
The old man's eyes widened slightly. He really hadn't expected Wang Yu to be an ice cultivator, and the name Ji Fa seemed vaguely familiar.
If it were a Xuan Dan, he would recognize it immediately.
Wang is quite famous in Chiyuan; his portrait has long been circulated among the high-ranking members of various factions.
"Fellow Daoist, do you have something to say to me by approaching?"
Wang Yu asked another question.
As the withered old man pondered, his original desire for Wang Yu to compensate him faded considerably. As two of the five major sects of the demonic path, even though the Refining Heaven Demon Sect was the leader, it still had to give face to the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect.
Moreover, after the Battle of Black Mountain Pass, many Nascent Soul cultivators were transferred to Black Mountain Pass, and Lingxi Prefecture in Taihu Lake had already been captured. Based on past experience, at most three prefectures could be captured.
The seven righteous sects will realize that this is definitely not a power that the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect can possess.
The two sides are currently in a honeymoon period of cooperation.
Therefore, his mind raced.
The withered old man smiled like a chrysanthemum.
“Fellow Daoist Jifa misunderstands. As the patriarch of Wanglei City, I have the duty to keep watch over the surrounding area. It is only right and proper for me to come and check on any unusual activity at Jilei Mountain.”
"I see. I am not an unreasonable person. In that case, please return, fellow Daoist. I will be cultivating at Jilei Mountain for a while."
Upon hearing this, the withered old man spoke again.
"Since Fellow Daoist Jifa intends to cultivate here, then I will also give you a message as compensation for the disturbance."
"Oh? Fellow Daoist, please speak freely."
"This place is very close to Yunling Prefecture. About three days ago, the ancient ruins of Dongjijing in Yunling Prefecture experienced strange movements. The strange phenomena spread for thousands of miles, and it is said that the entire underground cavity collapsed."
"The ancient immortal dynasty's capital city of Tokyo has seen the light of day again, and countless fellow cultivators have rushed to the Eastern Capital. If I were not burdened with heavy responsibilities, I would certainly have gone to try my luck as well. What a pity... what a pity!"
Upon hearing the name Dongjijing, Wang Yu raised an eyebrow.
He does indeed intend to explore this place a second time.
Last time, it was the appearance of two great Nascent Soul inheritances. Due to the distance, only a few forces, including the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, the Yellow Spring Temple, and rogue cultivators, fought for it.
Not long after that, it fell into complete silence.
Now that it has fully emerged, the shock it has caused is no less than that caused by the ancient Heavenly Soul Sect ruins in the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest. Back then, the four Blood Demon Medicine Kings alone were the highly sought-after tonics for Nascent Soul cultivators.
From his current perspective, the experience of the Medicine King refining pills... tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes one's mouth water.
I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to exchange my battle merits for one from the sect leader.
The information came from the old man who was withered and flourishing.
Wang Yu had already planned to go and investigate, as for whether any force had done anything behind the complete emergence of Dongji Capital.
It didn't really matter.
But his intuition told him that this matter was related to the Yellow Springs Temple. Back then, the Yellow Springs Ksitigarbha lineage caused trouble everywhere, and the sacred offerings of Guiling City were stolen. This city is also very close to Dongjijing.
Moreover, after the devastation of the war between the righteous and the demonic, that area had become part of the territory of the Yellow Springs Temple, and the battle line was constantly being pushed towards the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, which could be described as a series of defeats.
Since they've occupied the land, whatever they do is perfectly normal.
"Could this be related to the Burial Pit Secret Realm?"
This idea suddenly popped into Wang Yu's mind.
When he ventured into the Burial Pit Secret Realm years ago, he encountered a demonic puppet that was being suppressed by the Yellow Spring Demon Bone. He always felt that the Ksitigarbha lineage had an inextricable connection with it.
What exactly it is remains unknown.
When he came to his senses, he bowed to the old man who was withered and flourishing.
"Thank you for informing me, fellow Daoist. I hope we will meet again someday."
"You're welcome."
He finished speaking.
Wang Yu transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon, at which point the withered old man also remembered.
“Extreme Law… Profound Elixir… Extreme Law Profound Elixir Demon Lord, he is Wang Yu, interesting! I want to see who is stronger between the Yellow Springs Temple and you.”
