Fengyunlu

Master Gu Yuan nodded gently, his expressionless gesture stealing over Feng Chen. Then, he extended a finger and channeled another ray of spiritual light into the Yaochi Lake. Ripples spread across the water, and the ball of light, condensed from the Taiyin energy within his cave dwelling, began to pulse again in the hazy atmosphere. Countless tiny rays of light circulated once more, once again channeled into his body by the Lei Gong. Just as before, they slowly and steadily repaired the bones and bones surrounding the Lei Gong.

Lei Gong now calmed down. Regardless of his previous thoughts, the most important thing now was healing. Only after his injuries had healed could all his thoughts and attempts begin. This was exactly what Lei Gong was concerned about. Otherwise, given his cultivation level, no matter how anxious he was, he wouldn't have been in the situation he was in. Now, he had regained his composure, his recovery from his serious injuries almost complete.

Time slipped away, two hours had passed. Half a day had passed since the Lei Gong began healing. This stage was the final, crucial moment. All the injuries on his body were gone. The external damage had been completely eliminated by the Lei Gong, transformed into black energy and expelled from his body. As for the remaining wounds and hidden wounds, they were almost completely healed. Now, the only thing left to do was to harness the newfound power within the mansion and continue his cultivation.

Simply put, Lei Gong had previously encountered a major problem: his internal meridians were blocked, and the continuity between his purple palaces had also been lost. These two complement each other; if one were to be interrupted, not only would his cultivation be incomplete, but his physical strength would also be limited. To repair this hidden danger, in addition to fully recovering from his injuries, it was even more important to achieve a transformation and rebirth. Otherwise, even with all the luck and opportunity, the benefits Lei Gong had previously received from the Primordial Will would ultimately be wasted, and recovery would be difficult. This was the key to Lei Gong's current healing process.

Normally, with the cultivation level of Thunder Power, one can only recover slowly, and cannot be impatient or force it. Otherwise, once a backlash occurs, all previous efforts will be wasted, and one will have to start over and face the same predicament.

However, the current situation was different. The power of the Taiyin was inherently gentle, and coupled with Master Gu Yuan's lifelong cultivation and profound cultivation, his benevolent nature and kindness, even if sometimes extreme, had no impact on his own path. Therefore, the Taiyin power employed by the Thunder Art this time was the ultimate source of protection. Furthermore, within the Yaochi, the Thunder Art itself was already imbued with the essence of the Taiyin power, ensuring proper protection even without deliberate effort. Furthermore, with the support and guidance of Fairy Ji Yao, the Thunder Art itself was already well-protected.

With these two blessings, the Thunder Power can simply be unleashed to reconnect the Purple Palace meridians. Guided by the Dao, previously interrupted flow will re-flow during the repair process. The Purple Palace's impermanence will also evolve into the extraordinary, mimicking the principles of heaven and earth. Once the circulation of the Heavenly Qi returns to its normal course, the Thunder Power's healing will be considered a success. The injury will be healed, and cultivation will return to normal, potentially even reaching new heights.

To cut a long story short, Lei Gong once again activated the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Art. This time, he didn't pursue the nine levels of unity as before, but instead progressed step by step, working from low to high, then back again, completing the entire Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Art twice. Finally, he reached the Middle Heaven Realm, the starting point of the Thunderbolt Hall's cultivation method. This meant that practitioners should begin their practice at the Xuan level, corresponding to the beginning of the Xuan Sect. At the Xuan level, practitioners officially entered the realm, simultaneously activating the Dharma Seal, the Spirit Seal, and the Dao Seal, beginning the true practice of the Xuan Sect.

The reason why the Thunder Art began here was because everything he had achieved at the peak of the Saint Stage had come to an end. However, looking back, it was from the Profound Stage that his true cultivation began. For this reason, repairing the Purple Mansion and replenishing the Dao Machine was the right time to start over. While this wasn't necessary for cultivation, it was a necessary process to ensure everything was flawless.

Without further ado, as the Zhongtian realm's cultivation techniques reached full fruition, Lei Gong's divine consciousness transformed into the Purple Palace. He felt as if he were atop a replica of Thunder Mountain, gazing at the Thunder Pool before him. At that moment, genuine Purple Sky Divine Thunder surged endlessly, and purple clouds and crimson refining waterfalls cascaded from the sky. Lei Gong's eyes remained unmoved. He then stood up and, just as he had taught Feng Chen before, integrated the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Art into his Zhou Tian.

Watching Lei Gong's dashing moves, his fingertips seemed to possess magical power, his Dao principles transformed into supernatural powers, and lightning danced like talismans, causing the Dao energy between heaven and earth to continuously condense. His purple palace began to churn, and endless thunder surged like waves. The secrets of heaven and earth contained in this technique were countless.

After countless transformations, Lei Gong's purple palace was already covered with the marks of thunder. The deafening thunder continued, and finally condensed into a point, striking him like lightning, and Lei Gong's movements also stopped.

He slowly lowered his hands, looking a little tired, but at this moment, all his true energy was gathered in his Purple Palace, part of it transformed into a thunder mark, and the rest was injected into the Thunder Pool. This was done to reshape the Purple Palace and simultaneously complete the Dao Qi.

Rebuilding the Purple Palace meant utilising all the body's true essence, and the essence warmed in the Thunder Pool for future use was precisely this. The thunder marks scattered across the sky were the Dao Qi that the Thunder Art sought to complete. He cultivated the Dao of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, so naturally the Dao Qi he sought was also thunder. The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Art was the essence of his Dao. Soon, once the Purple Palace was revitalised, these thunder marks would, guided by the Thunder Art, gradually merge into it. At the same time, a portion would flow into the meridians, combining with his own essence, blood and vitality to repair those areas that were nearly depleted.

At this point, the Thunder Power was ready. He calmed his mind, channeling his primordial spirit's full power, and the incarnation within the Purple Mansion began to move. With a wave of his hand, a bolt of lightning danced, and the previously tranquil Thunder Pond instantly shattered. Purple Sky Divine Thunder began to rage, and the waterfall in the sky hung upside down, sucking in countless divine thunders before reversing the mighty power of Heaven, drawing it back to the Chilian Purple Cloud and bringing it down again.

This repetitive cycle resulted in the constant regeneration of the simulated Thunder Pool, representing the cultivation of the Thunder Art and the reshaping of the Thunder Art's Purple Palace. Although different from the Great Nirvana, the reshaping of the Primordial Realm involved completely annihilating the entire Purple Palace, then rebuilding it to obtain the Primordial Power, which was then refined and distributed throughout the palace.

Lei Gong was only seriously injured. Although he possessed the Primordial Intention, his chances of survival were slim. Even if he possessed some profound abilities, Lei Gong's cultivation had not yet reached a critical juncture. His Primordial Intention was not sufficient to allow him to be reborn after annihilation. Therefore, he only continued to refine his imitation of the Thunder Pool and had not truly embarked on the path of Hunyuan. However, this was also quite fortunate.

While refining his Thunder Power, he thought of the changes in the Purple Mansion. If the stars in the sky and heaven could absorb life, could this Thunder Pool also absorb life? This thought made him decide to try again later, but right now, the more important thing was to complete the Dao Qi. Thunder marks gleamed throughout the sky, waiting to be used. The refinement of the Thunder Pool was already underway, and the next step was to repair the depleted areas.

The timing was right, Lei Gong started a new movement, the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Art was activated again, the skills that remained in the Zhongtian Realm gradually improved, the Zhongtian Realm activated the Thunder Mark, the Juntian Realm deduced the Thunder Incarnation, and then the Cangtian Realm seized the power of thunder. Once these three realms were passed, it represented that the three levels of the Xuan level were also passed one by one.

The next step was to use the essence and blood of the Xuantian Realm's Jianque, and fuse them together. Using the Thunder Mark as the primary guide, it would slowly attach to all the connections between his meridians and the Purple Palace. Furthermore, the connections between his meridians and the Seven Sages within the Palace would also be attached. Once these Dao Machines were attached, they could begin repairing the depleted areas.

Those severely injured and depleted areas had already recovered after this healing session, leaving only the missing Dao Qi to be replenished. Thus, tempering his Thunder Body in the Nether Heaven Realm was the beginning of this restoration. His Thunder Art cultivation had reached its peak, and he had mastered the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Art. His Divine Thunder Body had long since reached perfection, making this type of tempering effortless for him. He circulated the Nether Heaven Realm for a moment, his detached Divine Consciousness perfectly controlled. Each Divine Thunder Mark carried a drop of his own essence and blood, and by the time the Thunder Art was complete, all the depleted areas had been replenished.

Without any missing, the entire body can be restored to function. The Haotian Realm is highly developed. This is the sixth level of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Art. Besides being used against enemies in daily life, it is even more important for cultivation. The key to cultivating the Divine Thunder Body begins at the sixth level. The cultivation method, one's own true essence, and the Dao mechanism desired by the cultivation path all begin to be hidden throughout the body at the sixth level, hidden within the body and bones, and even hidden within the Seven Sages within the Palace. Even the Divine Palace's Primordial Spirit will become extremely hidden at this level. Then, the Divine Thunder will refine the soul, achieving true self-cultivation.

At this crucial moment, Lei Gong exerted all his might, the power of the Haotian Realm silently transforming everything. He was about to unleash his ultimate skill, Zhutian Falling Thunder. Normally, to reach the Zhutian Realm, one must cultivate within the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Pool of Thundering Mountain. Channeling one's thunder techniques into the pool, tempering the body with the vast power of divine thunder between heaven and earth, and only then can one achieve perfection in the Zhutian Realm. However, Lei Gong was now in the Yaochi Lake, so he didn't need to follow conventional cultivation methods. Simply to heal his wounds, he didn't need to actually enter the pool.

He could choose to draw upon the power of heaven and earth to temper himself, or he could simulate a thunder pool within his purple mansion, channeling his inner strength to strengthen his body and recover from his injuries. Lei Gong chose the latter without hesitation. On the one hand, he was in the Yaochi fairyland, a seemingly self-contained realm, isolated from the outside world. While Lei Gong didn't understand the key, he was certain that if he truly drew forth the Haoran divine thunder, not only would the Yaochi's barrier become a problem, it could also bring unnecessary trouble to the Yaochi itself.

On the other hand, the divine thunder required by Zhu Tianjing was preferably genuine Purple Sky Divine Thunder. For minor injuries, other types of divine thunder might be sufficient, but the injuries he sustained before his Thunder Art training had nearly destroyed his foundation, and such injuries required Purple Sky Divine Thunder to ensure recovery. Unless his Thunder Art cultivation was insufficient to generate genuine Purple Sky Divine Thunder within his body, he would never use other types of divine thunder as a substitute.

Taking these two factors into account, Lei Gong made an immediate decision. He utilized the Thunder Pool within his Purple Mansion to transform himself, and the Zhu Tian Realm subsequently activated, completely tempering his entire body. Some of his power even seeped out, causing the ancient cavern where he was to suddenly erupt in thunder and flashes of lightning. This scene alarmed Master Gu Yuan, who continued to investigate. However, after confirming that there was nothing unusual and receiving further confirmation from Fairy Ji Yao, Master Gu Yuan finally lowered his guard and refrained from intervening.

This state lasted for half an hour, until the Thunder Power finally tempered every aspect of his being. This also marked the final, crucial moment. The Yang Heaven Realm, representing the Saintly Rank, should now be activated. The Thunder Power needed to reawaken the Purple Yuan Qi, previously dormant due to his injuries. He had already reached the pinnacle of the Saintly Rank during his time at the Hun Yuan Realm, and his Purple Yuan Qi had already possessed spirituality. If it weren't for his severe injuries and the absorption of his Dao roots by the Meridian-Traveling Divine Needle, the Thunder Power wouldn't have needed to manifest through divine consciousness at this point; the Purple Yuan Qi within the Purple Mansion would naturally power everything.

However, at this moment, his Purple Yuan Qi was dormant. Back at Thunder Mountain, when the meridian-moving divine needle had been removed, Lei Gong, fearing a mishap, immediately channeled the dormant Purple Yuan Qi into a simulated Thunder Pool, protecting it with his foundation and nurturing it until it could recover. Now that his injuries had healed, it was time for the Purple Yuan Qi to awaken.

The Thunder Power was guided by divine consciousness, flowing through the body with the Yang Heaven Realm techniques. The source of the Thunder Power constantly replenished the simulated Thunder Pool, and the ultimate power of the divine thunder was infused into the Purple Yuan Zhen Qi. This repeated process gradually healed the damage done to the Purple Yuan Zhen Qi. After a continuous cycle, at a certain moment, the Purple Yuan Zhen Qi suddenly moved.

A beam of white light leaped from the Thunder Pool. When the radiance faded, Lei Gong's purple essence transformed into the form of a woman. She was dressed in a dark robe, elegant and cool, holding a jade bead emitting a green glow in her hand. It turned out that Lei Gong had always had a concern in his heart.

The woman who jumped out of the thunder pool in the purple palace and slowly revealed her figure was exactly the same as the purple Yuan Zhenqi of the thunder power, just like Zhaolong Tiexin!

Faced with such a scene, even if Fengchen tried to remain calm, his eyes could not help but move, and the corners of his mouth twitched in surprise. However, he finally held back and did not speak, but the slight movement attracted the attention of Master Gu Yuan and Fairy Ji Yao.

Master Gu Yuan and Fairy Ji Yao were both aware of this series of actions. It seemed that Feng Chen was fully aware of Lei Gong's every move, even within the Purple Mansion. Although they didn't know how Feng Chen achieved this, not even Lei Gong himself was aware of it. This made the two of them ponder, but considering that the current time was not the right one, they exchanged glances and neither of them asked any questions.

Fengchen naturally noticed their movements, but he was more concerned about the situation of Lei Gong. Since there was no effect, Fengchen pretended not to know. He turned his attention and looked carefully, and found that Lei Gong had already slowly moved forward.

Although Lei Gong's cultivation had already condensed and transformed the Purple Yuan Zhen Qi into a physical form, even before Long Tiexin arrived at the Thunderbolt Hall, Lei Gong's Purple Yuan Zhen Qi had already been fully developed, and it definitely wouldn't have been Long Tiexin's appearance at that time. But this was exactly what happened now. The only explanation was that Lei Gong had unconsciously sensed his emotions, and, acting from within, had condensed the Purple Yuan Zhen Qi once again.
