Fengyunlu

Lei Gong was deeply troubled. He firmly believed that the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Art itself was flawless, and the problem lay with the practitioner. Perhaps they hadn't discovered the divine secret, or truly grasped the key. He recalled his ancestors and other predecessors. Although their thunder techniques were powerful, they seemed to be merely training their bodies, not truly understanding the mysteries of heaven and earth. If that were the case, then today's Taiyin influx might have missed the Dao's opportunity. The mess within the technique would be incredibly difficult to clear up later. The realm one could reach depended entirely on one's luck.

These two points seemed contradictory, but Lei Gong hesitated for a moment before making a decisive decision. He felt that if one's cultivation was not yet complete, one couldn't just casually pass it on to future generations. His old friend Feng Wanlin spared no expense to guide his son Fengchen into the Xuan sect. Although his own path of cultivation was full of unknowns, why should he be afraid? Taking one more step forward meant that future generations of the Thunderbolt Hall could take one more step forward. This way, the path ahead would be open, and future generations would not be in the way. One day, the Thunderbolt Hall lineage would be able to complete and perfect the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Art, even transcending heaven and earth. This would be a great blessing not only for the sect, but also for the entire Xuan sect and even the world.

After figuring this out, Lei Gong no longer hesitated and began to practice. The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Art came alive again, and the power of the Taiyin once again surged into his body. His soul transformed into a pool of thunder, and the sound of wind and thunder began to sound.

A purple-red thunder suddenly struck down, and the lightning landed in the thunder pool, stirring up countless waves. The thunders also became excited, crackling non-stop, interweaving with each other, and constantly making space for the thunder pool.

At this moment, Lei Gong opened his eyes. The Purple Sky Divine Thunder was the beginning of his recovery. With this thunderclap, the vitality of Lei Gong's Purple Palace reappeared, the collapsed parts were repaired, and the vitality of the ruins was rekindled.

Lei Gong felt the layout of mountains and rivers, the sea embracing thousands of streams, and the stars, sun, and moon in the sky began to flicker with a faint light. Although it had not yet fully operated, the opportunity of heaven's law had begun to fall through the heavens. The purple palace was exhausted and recovered, and the withered places began to round out, withering and flowing upstream.

Next comes true recovery. A cultivator's Purple Mansion collapses, and vice versa. If a cultivator's Purple Mansion is severely damaged and shattered, and then restored through cultivation, the Primordial Will will be broken and then rebuilt. Beyond the realms of cultivation, the flow between Great Silence remains unchanged, and ordinary injured individuals can also find a blessing in disguise during this process.

Lei Gong was like this now. His Purple Mansion was being renovated to align with the Primordial Realm. While unlike Feng Chen's self-contained empire, his current Purple Mansion, once completed, could also accommodate others. This meant that before Lei Gong's time, his Purple Mansion could only contain divine weapons, treasures, and celestial spirits. These inanimate objects weren't a big deal, but once a living being entered, regardless of their cultivation or the danger involved, it would be a fatal threat to them.

The Purple Mansion mimics the heavens and the earth, but it's not the true heaven and earth, nor can it be transformed by divine weapons or treasures. Any outsider, even a primordial spirit, will be rejected and incompatible. Either the outsider dies in the strangulation, or the heavens and the earth collapse, shattering the Purple Mansion. Either way, as the master, he suffers no good. Therefore, within the Xuan Sect, no one is willing to accept a living being into the Purple Mansion without a genuine need or absolute certainty.

Even with a cultivation level as high as Lei Gong, once in the desert, he'd tried everything to bring Fengchen back to Leiming, never considering placing him in the Purple Mansion. But now, things were different. Lei Gong's recovery from severe injuries, the Purple Mansion's near-death resurgence, a glimmer of the Primordial Spirit, emerged. Nothing gained without cultivation would hinder him. Even if there were another devastation in the future, this Primordial Spirit wouldn't be lost, thus adding another. While this power wasn't like the Primordial Power that could replace the entire celestial sphere, its value lay in its uniqueness and endurance. Therefore, with vitality constantly present, refining it within the Primordial Spirit, the Purple Mansion would be filled with vitality, thus becoming more in harmony with the principles of heaven and earth. This Purple Mansion, in harmony with the Great Dao, earned the name Qiankun. Accommodating a few living beings would naturally be a problem.

Such luck naturally brought other benefits. Lei Gong's physique was nourished by vitality. Everything in his Purple Palace represented everything else in his body. Vitality flowed through his meridians, and as the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Art coursed through his body, his meridians not only recovered faster, but also allowed him to withstand more injuries and recover faster than others, even if they weren't immediately revived. Even Lei Gong's old ailments, the hidden dangers left by his Snowfall Sky technique, showed signs of recovery under the nourishment of vitality.

Although Lei Gong still looked a little frail and sickly, his face as pale as a sheet and his muscles as thin as bamboo poles, a hint of rosiness began to appear on his face. Although he was still far from fully recovered, it was much easier for him. His face slowly returned to normal, no longer so scary. Although he looked a little vicissitudes, he at least looked like a middle-aged man.

Lei Gong wasn't particularly concerned with this outward change; he valued the vibrant feeling within him more. The Purple Mansion being able to house a living being might not sound like a big deal, but within the Xuan Sect, besides that freak Feng Wanlin, who used the Divine Pot to make the world his own, only Lei Gong could achieve such a perfect fusion of himself and the Heavenly Secret. The difference was truly worlds apart. This presented him with a golden opportunity for cultivation. As long as he continued to work hard, he might one day break free. While it might be slower than Feng Wanlin's, at least he had hope.

Furthermore, as Lei Gong recovered, he reflected on his old friend's cultivation and Fengchen's future. He was naturally somewhat mystical, and now possessed two souls. Lei Gong understood that while cultivation could strengthen the will, it was also fraught with risk and uncertainty. He was initially concerned, but lacked the proper protection. No matter how powerful a skill or how precious a treasure, in Fengchen's hands, it might not unleash its full power, and might even be exploited by others.

But now, Lei Gong had a new opportunity. His Purple Palace had been renovated and could accommodate a living person, so Fengchen's Second Soul naturally wouldn't be a problem. Although Fengchen's sea of ​​consciousness had recovered and his Soul could cultivate independently, why not take some protective measures in the face of unknown dangers? Placing Fengchen's Second Soul in his own Purple Palace might sound a bit crazy, but in reality, it wouldn't hinder the cultivation of either party. Moreover, Lei Gong had recovered from his injuries and might even achieve a breakthrough.

By placing Fengchen's soul within the Purple Mansion, if Fengchen truly encountered serious trouble, even a life-or-death situation, with the protection of Thunder Power, Fengchen would have a chance for rebirth in the future. Even if he couldn't become a weapon spirit like Feng Wanlin, at least he still had the option of possessing another body or using his body to cultivate. In short, for Fengchen, this was hope. Unless someone's strength far surpassed Thunder Power and could deliver a fatal blow, even if Fengchen truly died, Thunder Power would ensure the safety of his second soul before his death.

Once this thought took root in Lei Gong's mind, he became even more eager to heal his wounds. He used the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Art to its full potential, accelerating the influx of Taiyin's power into his body. The power of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements circulated rapidly within him, allowing the Seven Sages in his mansion to recover quickly.

However, Lei Gong's movements did not escape the observation of Master Gu Yuan outside the Yaochi Lake. She was well aware of Lei Gong's injuries; that ball of Taiyin energy was the culmination of his lifelong cultivation. Although abnormalities in Taiyin energy could be sensed even outside the body, Lei Gong's sudden acceleration, while seemingly improving his injuries, actually left hidden dangers. Because that Taiyin energy was not cultivated by him, even if it held no ill intentions, it still had many limitations for those healing the wounded.

Lei Gong was too impatient now. The Taiyin force hadn't yet fully merged with his true essence, and some of it had already begun to flow through his meridians. Although it wasn't much, once it accumulated, there was always a risk of external force entering the body. Moreover, this Taiyin force was the result of Taiyao Immortal Emperor's lifelong cultivation. Even if it was unintentional, it could suddenly erupt at any moment.

Ultimately, the Taiyin energy cultivated by Master Gu Yuan naturally carries a residual consciousness. Without Master Gu Yuan's control, these forces within the Lei Gong body, coupled with the interplay of various forces, will sense the surrounding danger and attempt to break free. This inevitably leads to a contest of power within the Lei Gong body. In such a situation, even the most advanced Lei Gong practitioners are bound to sustain injury, potentially leaving them with serious hidden dangers. Even the pinnacle of the Xuan Sect, Cang Yun Emperor Bai Qianyi, would suffer significant damage if not fatally wounded if the Taiyin energy of the Taiyao Immortal Emperor erupted within him.

Thunder Power itself is extremely masculine and yang. While the harmony of yin and yang is desirable, it is also true that yin and yang counteract each other. The two forces clash, and even though the Three-Divided Yuan Pearl protects the Seven Sages, if Thunder Power's healing power is unsuccessful, the end result will likely be further damage.

As soon as Master Gu Yuan thought of this, he sprang into action. With a flick of his fingertips, the spiritual light leaped towards Yao Chi like a naughty child, then disappeared in the blink of an eye. He turned and said anxiously to Ji Yao, "Master Lei may be battling his inner demon right now. We must use Shen Yin to help him."

In a flash, Master Gu Yuan moved with lightning speed, understanding that every second counted. Aura of light streaked across the night sky like a meteor, heading straight for the Jade Pool. In the blink of an eye, it vanished, as if it had never appeared. His gaze followed the light, then turned to Fairy Ji Yao, while he issued commands eagerly, his voice filled with urgency.

Fairy Ji Yao's eyes were filled with anxiety. Without a second thought, she immediately responded to Master Gu Yuan's request. Although she was confused by Lei Gong's current state of mind and didn't understand why he, with such high cultivation, was still plagued by inner demons, she believed Master Gu Yuan's words without a doubt: "Master Lei, don't worry. Ji Yao is here to help you!"

Fairy Ji Yao's eyes flashed with eagerness, and she sprang into action without hesitation. Although she was puzzled by Lei Gong's current state of mind, her trust in Master Gu Yuan was unquestionable. Her words were filled with determination, promising to do her utmost to help Master Lei.

Suddenly, a crisp sound echoed on the sea. Lei Gong was practicing when he suddenly heard a familiar voice. He felt a force surging in his body. The originally smooth Taiyin force suddenly stopped flowing, and even a force began to slowly draw back the previously absorbed power. Lei Gong's practice had to be interrupted.

Lei Gong was practicing when a resounding sound suddenly pierced the tranquility of the sea, striking his heart. He felt a powerful force surge within him. The previously smooth flow of Taiyin energy suddenly stopped, and even a force began to slowly withdraw the energy he had previously absorbed. This strange phenomenon forced Lei Gong to interrupt his practice, and his cultivation temporarily stagnated.

At this moment, Fairy Ji Yao's voice sounded again: "Master Lei, how are you now?"

After Lei Gong's practice was interrupted, Fairy Ji Yao's concerned voice came again. She was eager to understand the situation of Master Lei, and her voice was full of worry. She knew that Lei Gong might be in trouble, so she was eager to provide help.

"It's okay, just a little anxious," Lei Gong replied softly. He immediately realized the danger. If Master Gu Yuan hadn't noticed and taken action in time, he might have been injured by the sudden change in Taiyin's power. He thanked Master Gu Yuan and Fairy Ji Yao for their help. Their timely intervention prevented him from being hurt. Lei Gong's words were filled with gratitude, and he also stated that although he was a little anxious, he was not seriously injured.

Master Gu Yuan also slowly asked, "Master Lei, what happened just now? Why are you so anxious? Is there some external force disturbing your mind?"

Master Gu Yuan's tone was filled with confusion and concern. He inquired about Hall Master Lei's unusual behavior, wondering if some external force had disturbed his mind. He was well aware of the dangers of inner demons and the power of the Thunder Art, so he was puzzled by Lei Gong's sudden anxiety. His question revealed his concern for Lei Gong's safety and his vigilance against possible unknown threats.

Master Gu Yuan's suspicions were not without reason. He knew full well that there were always those who could surpass him. Although they were in Yaochi, with Fairy Ji Yao controlling everything, who could guarantee that there weren't other masters in the world who could break through Yaochi's defenses, or even bypass Fairy Ji Yao and Lei Gong himself and quietly influence their will?

Master Gu Yuan's concerns were well-founded. He was well aware of the fact that there are always people better than you. Although they were in the Yaochi Lake, under the control of Fairy Ji Yao, there was no guarantee that there weren't other masters who could break through the Yaochi Lake's defenses, or even bypass Fairy Ji Yao and Lei Gong himself and quietly influence their will. This possibility forced Master Gu Yuan to remain vigilant, fearing any unforeseen events.

If this possibility truly existed, then today's healing with Thunder Power might just be the beginning, and that mysterious figure might be secretly plotting. Regardless of his motives, Yao Chi is now in a state of crisis. Perhaps unrest at Thunder Mountain is imminent, and Yao Chi Wonderland could face an unforeseen disaster, perhaps even a catastrophe.
