Chapter 162 The Final Legacy
Seeing Chen Yi turn and leave, ignoring her, Qiu Li cursed under her breath:
"That scoundrel is eating quite well. Both of them are absolutely stunning beauties!"
Qin Chengcheng had already shared the details of fusing the Thunder Crystal with her.
Qiu Li naturally knew which parts Chen Yi, that scoundrel, would touch deeply when transferring the crystal to the two women.
For a female cultivator to be touched in this way by a man is not much different from losing her virginity.
Chen Yi ignored Qiu Li.
Instead, he prepared to consolidate his cultivation and began to set his sights on the eighth Thunder Lion.
It's not that he's been lying low for a year, finally ready to make his move in front of others.
Chen Yi had his own cultivation pace, always proceeding steadily and surely. Many others paved the way for him, clearing obstacles and helping him accumulate experience.
Now, with the first seven lightning runes and the second layer of lightning spirit body refinement, a total of 99 lightning spirit runes have accumulated sufficiently.
Furthermore, with the accumulation of thunderclouds within his soul reaching a sufficient level, he was now completely confident in how to defeat the Thunder Lion.
So there's no need to wait any longer, just follow his pace.
One by one, the Thunder Spirit Runes are accumulated, and once enough are accumulated, they will break through and strive forward.
Now that our strength has been exposed, to avoid any unforeseen complications,
Chen Yi was prepared to act swiftly and decisively, breaking through the third level and entering the fourth level in a short time to see what the Thunder Soul Sect's legacy was.
Three days later
Resonating with the thunder spirit runes within its body, the eighth Qianlei Lion acknowledged Chen Yi.
Chen Yi entered the inheritance stone tablet and comprehended the true Nine Heavenly Thunder Patterns.
This is a perfectly legitimate Heavenly Thunder Technique.
However, Chen Yi was not a cultivator with the Thunder Spirit Root, so his ability to apply it was limited.
However, this is not important.
After comprehending all 108 Thunder Spirit Runes
He finally completed the 108 Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Thunder Spirit Rune Array within his body.
After completing the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Thunder Array rune array, Chen Yi immediately began the challenge of the ninth Thunder Lion.
Because he already knew what the ninth thunder lion represented.
Fusion.
Based on the completed array of 108 Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Thunder Spirit Runes, Chen Yi directly activated the ninth Thunder Lion.
boom--!
The Thunder Lion suddenly erupted, unleashing a destructive torrent of soul thunder and lightning simultaneously, crashing towards Chen Yi.
Within his soul, Chen Yi's thunderclouds erupted, swallowing the first, even stronger, soul lightning.
He maintained his sanity until more soul lightning attacks struck.
in reality,
He moved with lightning speed, unleashing his Wind and Thunder Escape technique to its fullest extent, his afterimage flashing like lightning as he weaved through the gaps in the thunder tide.
The lightning crystal array within his body resonated with the lightning patterns of the lightning lion, offsetting most of the erosion. The remaining impact was forcefully withstood by the jade bones and the golden crystal core, with tiny sparks of lightning bursting out as his bones hummed.
At the same time, he activated the system's devouring power, frantically seizing the overflowing lightning energy.
However, Lei Shizi's offensive did not stop; instead, it caused the rune array within his body to vibrate violently, as if it wanted to disintegrate him.
"As expected, fusion is required..." Chen Yi suddenly realized and took the initiative to disperse 108 thunder spirit runes.
With the system's assistance, he reverse-analyzed the energy trajectory of the Thunder Lion. The runes collapsed like a galaxy, but were recombined under the guidance of the nodes of the Qiankun Thunder Array, transforming into 54 composite thunder runes, each containing the power of two Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends.
Seeing this, the Thunder Lion intensified its attack, but the composite thunder talisman was compressed again by the system's rapid enlightenment as it absorbed the opponent's spirituality.
Nine core thunder talismans hung in Chen Yi's dantian, shining like nine thunder suns.
The Thunder Lion suddenly stopped, a hint of approval flashing in its purple-lightning pupils. It slowly retreated to its original position and remained silent.
Chen Yi stepped onto the last stone tablet, and the nine core thunder talismans gradually merged in the cycle of tempering by the Li and Kun thunder.
The instant the rune collapsed, a blinding bolt of lightning shot out from the top of his head and condensed into an ancient lightning rune in his palm, its surface covered with lightning patterns that seemed to move like living things.
"It's done!" Chen Yi smiled, holding the talisman.
The lightning talisman flowed like a dragon through the acupoints of his body, causing them to resonate with each point it passed through, allowing him to reach an unprecedented level of mastery over the power of lightning.
More importantly, the Thunder Talisman continuously released pure [Soul Thunder Power], seeping into the depths of the soul.
Chen Yi suddenly realized—this was probably the orthodox method of "tempering the soul with lightning" secretly passed down by the Thunder Soul Sect!
Through the perfect cycle between the thunder talisman and the physical body, one can strengthen the physique and refine the soul with the soul thunder, enabling cultivators to gradually adapt to and master the origin of thunder.
Chen Yi has completely cleared the third level.
Others could only look up and sigh in admiration, yet they were completely convinced.
Qiu Li and Ji Wuchen have already grasped the basics and are preparing to challenge the seventh Thunder Lion.
The two, Zuo Shouqing and the little monk, are making slightly slower progress.
Ning Bu'er and Qin Chengcheng each have lightning crystals implanted within their bodies, secretly competing with each other.
They are now qualified to challenge the seventh Thunder Lion, but they need to return to the second level for some time to undergo thunder training in their souls.
As Chen Yi's [Natal Thunder Talisman] was formed, the spiritual energy within the third layer of the thunder field began to gather towards him in wisps.
This scene seems to exist outside the real world.
Only Ji Wuchen, who had activated his Insightful Eye, noticed it.
However, he only nodded in silent approval of Chen Yi, without revealing anything further.
Because he has seen and heard of countless great opportunities throughout his life.
The opportunity before him was great, but it wasn't something he absolutely had to seize.
As the spiritual energy of the three layers of lightning fields was gradually absorbed by Chen Yi's natal lightning talisman,
The thunder soul power released from his thunder talisman was increasing in quantity and quality.
Within Chen Yi's divine soul, the second thunder soul began to slowly condense.
It started as small as a washbasin, but within a few days it grew to the size of a house, about a third the size of the first thundercloud.
However, the lightning spirit power in this second thundercloud is of a purer quality.
Furthermore, the natal thunder talisman can also serve as a powerful storage center for thunder spiritual energy, functioning similarly to a third-tier cultivator's Golden Core.
However, Chen Yi's current magical power is too low, and he cannot even unleash one-tenth of the power of this natal thunder talisman.
Nevertheless, it greatly helped Chen Yi's body tempering.
Now, the more than 250 lightning crystals that had gathered within his body became very easy to obtain.
Chen Yi estimated that he could store another 250 lightning crystals without affecting his daily cultivation and combat.
"It's time to figure out how to fuse the lightning crystals to create a stronger lightning crystal energy."
The 108 Thunder Spirit Runes were first combined in pairs to form 54 Thunder Spirit Runes, then combined in six pairs to form nine Overlay Thunder Spirit Runes.
Finally, the nine talismans were combined into one, forming a complex and large natal thunder talisman.
This process gave Chen Yi a great deal of insight into the fusion of lightning spirit attribute energy.
This insight, without requiring any transformation, can be directly applied to the fusion with physical energy blocks like lightning crystals.
Chen Yi estimated that after fusing some more lightning crystals, he would gain a deeper understanding of the fusion process.
It can even be applied to the Golden Fire Thunder Crystal, and even more so to the fusion of the Golden Crystal Core.
This is a comprehensive understanding that affects everything, or rather, learning one move leads to mastery of everything.
Chen Yi will benefit immensely from this in the future.
After Chen Yi absorbed about half of the spiritual energy from the three layers of lightning fields,
The intensity of the minefield across the entire three-layer structure decreased significantly.
Even the difficulty for Qiu Li and the others in challenging the seventh Thunder Lion has decreased significantly.
The thunderous surge unleashed by the seventh thunder lion allowed them to withstand it without expending their life-saving trump cards.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, I observe that you have nearly grasped the essence of the third level. Why don't you explore the fourth level?"
It was Ji Wuchen who spoke.
He knew why the energy in the three-layered minefield was decreasing, so he advised Chen Yi to leave.
After all, if the spiritual energy of the thunder field were to decrease further, even if they managed to break through the three thunder lions, they wouldn't gain much of the inheritance.
Chen Yi understood what the other party meant.
Although he has the ability to exhaust all resources, doing so would create six more enemies at the same time.
This was not what he wanted.
In fact, Chen Yi could have entered the fourth level long ago. He lingered on the third level because he wanted to absorb more spiritual energy from the thunder field to improve the quality of his thunder talismans and the thunderclouds in his soul.
Now, that's about it.
Chen Yi nodded slightly to Ji Wuchen, indicating that he understood.
He slowly stepped into the core of the third-level lightning field. His natal lightning talisman suddenly trembled, and one hundred and eight dazzling lightning patterns lit up one after another like stars, intertwining to form the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Array.
In an instant, the space in the center of the thunder field distorted, and an ancient thunder gate formed from purple lightning appeared amidst the roar. Mysterious lightning patterns danced on the surface of the gate, as if it were connected to a long-vanished space.
Chen Yi carefully sensed the surroundings with his divine sense and, after obtaining a rough understanding of the situation inside,
Only after confirming that there was no danger to their lives did they step inside.
Inheritance Hall, fourth floor
As soon as Chen Yi entered, his entire soul was enveloped by an inexplicable force.
It was a net of soul lightning composed of purple lightning threads, which began to continuously invade Chen Yi's soul after it was discovered.
Chen Yi's natal thunder talisman released light, absorbing a small portion of the energy from the Purple Thunder Soul Net, while the remainder continued to invade his soul.
at this time,
In the fourth spatial layer, in some unknown place, a lightning talisman of unknown grade seems to possess a mechanical, conscious awareness.
A surge of extremely high energy swept lightly over Chen Yi, who had just begun his training.
Then the lightning talisman flickered a few times in the unknown spatial layer, verifying the logical information that had long been stored within its body:
[A complete set of 108 innate lightning talismans, a potential candidate for the Thunder Soul Sect's inheritance]
Chen Yi was naturally unaware that such a protective lightning talisman existed within this mysterious spatial layer.
He continued to transform the portion of the purple lightning soul lightning that his natal lightning talisman could absorb and convert as usual.
He no longer held back against the part that had invaded his soul, directly activating the system to slowly devour it.
Only the core power and spiritual essence of the soul lightning are retained.
In order to improve the quality and character of the thundercloud within one's soul.
In the process of absorbing the spiritual energy of these purple lightning soul thunders
A cultivation method for nurturing the divine soul is gradually forming within his divine soul.
【Purple Thunder Soul-Nourishing Technique】
Half a day later, Chen Yi had absorbed about one-thousandth of the Purple Lightning Soul Thunder energy from the fourth level of the Inheritance Hall, and the name of this cultivation technique appeared in his mind.
And the cultivation method for the first level:
First, use your natal lightning talisman to generate high-level purple lightning energy, then break it down into fine threads, which slowly enter your soul.
To nurture the soul for decades or even centuries.
Thus, streaks of purple lightning were nurtured within the soul.
This is the introductory cultivation method for the Thunder Soul Sect's core techniques.
Normally, this process takes a very long time, and it's usually only true disciples at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage who begin to engage with it.
This technique can only truly unleash its power when one reaches the Nascent Soul stage.
However, at this moment, because the Thunder Soul Sect has been destroyed, this place, as one of the candidate sites for inheritance, contains the energy of purple lightning soul thunder.
This is the energy foundation for quickly selecting the seeds of inheritance.
After the seeds enter the fourth level and undergo a certain period of testing,
That inherited thunder talisman will naturally impart the cultivation method of the [Purple Thunder Soul Nourishing Technique], as well as imprint some thunder soul divine power marks.
However, Chen Yi possessed a cheat code: he could devour spiritual energy to comprehend its core essence, and he actually deduced the introductory cultivation method for the [Purple Thunder Soul-Nourishing Technique].
Time passed little by little.
Chen Yi was thoroughly enjoying absorbing the purple lightning soul energy, and his mind became increasingly clear about the cultivation path of this technique.
Furthermore, Chen Yi had a general idea of the various branches of abilities that this technique might give rise to.
Theoretically speaking, given enough time and sufficient spiritual energy, Chen Yi could deduce the complete nature of the Purple Lightning Soul Thunder.
After all, no cultivation method appears out of thin air at first; rather, it is created and deduced by powerful beings after comprehending the laws of heaven and earth.
Chen Yi certainly couldn't reach the level of a great being, but under specific circumstances and conditions, he could still achieve some basic skills with the help of the system.
More than ten days have passed.
The third layer from the outside.
As the difficulty of the Thunder Lion's trial decreased, and as the prodigies returned to the first and second floors to rediscover the true meaning of the Thunder Soul Sect's inheritance hall,
Finally, a few of them passed the ninth Thunder Lion.
Qiu Li, Qin Chengcheng, and Ning Bu'er all condensed their own innate lightning talismans to varying degrees of completeness within their bodies.
Among them, Qiu Li's natal thunder talisman is the strongest, possessing eighty-one thunder spirit runes.
This level of thunder talisman is considered extremely excellent even in the ancient Thunder Soul Sect, reaching the level of a true disciple seed.
Ning Bu'er had 72 points, and Qin Chengcheng had 63 points, both of which were above the passing grade.
However, the three of them condensed their natal lightning talismans in different ways. Qiu Li relied entirely on his innate talent for the lightning spirit body and his foundation as a lightning cultivation prodigy.
Ning Bu'er and Qin Chengcheng relied entirely on the lightning crystals implanted by Chen Yi.
As for Ji Wuchen, he did not continue after passing the eighth Thunder Lion trial.
He did not condense his natal thunder talisman, not because he was unable to, but because he was unwilling.
The path of cultivation he followed was also passed down from ancient times, no less powerful than the path of the Thunder Soul Sect's innate thunder talisman. He came here merely to learn from it.
He hoped to join forces with Chen Yi after Chen Yi emerged from seclusion to try and obtain the inheritance of a special divine ability that might exist in the ancient Thunder Soul Sect within this secret realm.
The young monk, however, was unable to release the 99 strands of quasi-golden crystal marrow due to the influence of a crucial demonic thought within him. Therefore, after passing the trial of the eighth thunder lion...
When it was condensed into a thunder talisman, something was lacking, and it ultimately failed to form the complete natal thunder talisman.
Naturally, he could not pass the test of the ninth thunder lion.
However, he followed the path of Buddhist wisdom, and while it was regrettable that he had come this far, it was not a dead end.
Subsequently, he only needs to perform rituals to release and purify a sufficient number of demonic souls and thoughts, which will naturally enhance his golden light of merit and elevate his divine soul, Buddhist will, and will.
Thus, they found a way to suppress that demonic thought.
Moreover, the accumulated wisdom from several lifetimes endowed the young monk with extraordinary innate wisdom.
He felt that in this life, the demonic thought that had appeared within him and his 99 strands of quasi-golden crystal marrow were mutually restraining each other.
It's not a bad thing.
He had a gut feeling that if the hundred strands of golden crystal marrow were to truly condense, there might be a great crisis!
The Hall of Inheritance in the Secret Realm has reached its final stage.
After Chen Yi stayed on the fourth floor for half a month,
Qiu Li, Ning Bu'er, and Qin Chengcheng entered the fourth floor in turn.
Only these last four remain to compete for the true inheritance of the Thunder Soul Sect.
