Chapter 1496 Comprehending the Technique of Thunder Fusion
At this moment, dozens of old monsters at the Integration Realm are gathered in the main hall of the Guangfa Dao Sect.

These people included not only the sect elders, but also bigwigs from various sects who had come from all over "Xin Guangtian".

They saw that their senior uncle Hongling put down the communication array plate, and their faces were all looking increasingly grim.

An old monster at the Integration Realm slammed his hand on the stone table, splashing a few drops of tea.

"Secluded in seclusion... in a deep slumber... what a coincidence! He must be deliberately avoiding us..."

The sect leader of "Guangfa Island Master" next to him also frowned.

"Senior Brother Xuanhua, please don't worry about it. I don't think that kid had any reason to lie. After all, he was casting a spell beyond his level, which overtaxed his body. Getting injured was inevitable..."

Upon hearing his words, the group of old men around him immediately became anxious.

"Even if he's seriously injured, there's no need for him to go into seclusion for years. We're still hoping he'll participate in the Heavenly Gate Trials..."

“These days in our ‘New Guangtian,’ there are very few people who can pass the Heavenly Gate Trial. He would definitely have gotten a spot if he had been there, but he just missed it…”

"Junior Brother Hongling, didn't you ask where he is? Can we go find him...?"

"That's right, with so many sects with profound foundations, surely we can find healing techniques to help him recover as quickly as possible..."

In the recent Tianmen trials, none of the "New Guangtian" members passed the trials.

There's no way around it; let alone in the Kunqiong Realm, even in the Azure Star Region, "New Guangtian" is only a lower-middle-class plane.

Therefore, if Su Fan can pass the trial, it will be an extraordinary honor for the entire "New Guangtian".

But at this crucial moment, this kid actually decided to go into seclusion for several years, thus missing the Heavenly Gate Trial.

Hongling was surrounded by a group of old guys, and with no other choice, she could only repeatedly explain the last message Su Fan had replied to.

“Fellow disciples, he said he wouldn’t answer any messages for at least a year, and that he would return to the sect once his injuries improved. We can’t force him to do that…”

However, her words did not quell the concerns of the crowd. Some worried that he had been secretly contacted by forces from the upper realm, while others suggested searching the entire Xin Guangtian for his whereabouts.

Some even speculated that Su Fan was hiding outside and not returning because he wanted to keep that forbidden thunder technique hidden and was unwilling to share it.

Seeing the chaos inside the main hall, it was finally stopped by a highly respected old monster at the Integration Realm.

"Stop talking. Since he said he's gone into seclusion, forcibly searching for him would be a bad idea. We should wait a year, and if he still doesn't appear, then we can make further plans..."

At this moment, in the Heavenly Gate Hall of the Spirit Profound Realm, Phoenix Cry God Venerable and others also learned of Su Fan's seclusion and cultivation.

They didn't think Su Fan didn't want to participate in the Heavenly Gate Trial, after all, this opportunity was too rare.

In the eyes of these old guys, going to the upper realm is the ultimate dream of all cultivators in this realm.

However, Senior Brother Fengming knew in his heart that the reason why the Upper Realm Daoist Sect opened the Heavenly Gate ahead of schedule this time was probably because that kid used a lightning-type Daoist technique to severely injure the true form of the Upper Realm Great Demon.

Perhaps some powerful figure from the human Daoist sect in the upper realm has taken a liking to Su Fan's potential, or for some other reason, they probably want to recruit this kid to the upper realm.

But after all, he is a big shot in the Daoist sect of the upper realm. We can't set a precedent just because of a cultivator from the lower realm.

So they opened the Heavenly Gate ahead of time, taking this opportunity to summon the boy to the Upper Realm.

But what if this kid doesn't come? Where would that leave the faces of those powerful figures from the upper realms?

These past few days, Senior Brother Fengming has been so worried about this matter that his head is throbbing.

Although the bigwigs of the human race's Daoist sect in the upper realm wouldn't say anything, the Lingxuan Realm didn't want to take the blame.

No matter what, we have to get that kid over here, even if it's just to show his face.

This needs to be done immediately, or it will be too late.

Even if that kid sets off now, it would still take him half a year to get from the "COVID-19 Heaven" to the Heavenly Gate Hall.

Thinking of this, Phoenix Cry God Venerable sighed.

He immediately gave orders, instructing one of his disciples to contact "Xin Guangtian" and bring Su Fan to the Heavenly Gate Hall no matter what.

Upon receiving the message from Phoenix Cry God, many top-tier figures in "New Guangtian" also became anxious.

They sent out a large number of disciples to search for Su Fan's whereabouts throughout "Xin Guangtian," but after several months of searching, they couldn't even find a trace of him.

The Guangfa Dao Sect even spent a fortune to invite many divination masters to calculate Su Fan's location, but to no avail.

Su Fan was completely unaware of the commotion outside.

To avoid being disturbed, he simply hid in the void.

Not to mention that even those Nascent Soul Realm veterans in the "COVID-19 Heaven" couldn't find him, even if the entire Spirit Profound Realm mobilized all the Nascent Soul Realm veterans, they still couldn't sense a trace of his aura.

Unless the true forms of those powerful figures from the Daoist sects of the upper realm descend, perhaps they can find his whereabouts.

But why would those powerful figures from the upper realms descend in their true forms just to find a cultivator from the lower realm? Are they just bored out of their minds?

At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged by the pool in his personal secret realm, with several jade slips containing records of the Dao of Thunder placed in front of him.

For the past few months, he has been studying the method of integrating thunder and lightning day and night.

He didn't know why, but now he felt a strange sense of urgency, as if he would face a terrible crisis in the near future.

Therefore, Su Fan needs to take advantage of this relatively quiet period to fully comprehend the method of integrating the Thunder Dao.

Previously, when he used the "Evil-Suppressing Thunder Seal," although he relied on overdrawing his own power to exert great power, he also discovered its drawbacks.

That is, although the explosive power of a single lightning technique is strong, it is difficult to sustain and causes great damage to one's own meridians.

If the Chaos Thunder could be fused with other thunder-based techniques, its power could be enhanced while reducing damage, and it might even give rise to new thunder techniques.

Su Fan pondered in his mind that he would first try to merge the most basic "Lightning Summoning Technique" with the chaotic lightning.

He mobilized the chaotic lightning within his body, condensing it into a wisp of silver-white lightning at his fingertips. Then, he channeled his magic power to activate the "Lightning Summoning Technique," and a pale blue ordinary lightning bolt appeared.

But when he tried to bring the two bolts of lightning closer together, problems immediately arose.

The power of the chaotic lightning far exceeded that of ordinary lightning magic. As soon as it made contact, the pale purple lightning was swallowed by the silver-white lightning, and even his meridians felt a sharp pain.

It wasn't that easy after all.

But Su Fan was not discouraged. Instead, he stopped, closed his eyes, and recalled the feeling when he cast the "Evil-Suppressing Thunder Seal".

At that time, the chaotic lightning was wrapped in the power to suppress evil. Although it was a fusion, it was more like a forced superposition.

He changed his approach, no longer directly fusing with the lightning, but instead trying to wrap ordinary lightning with the life force of chaotic lightning, like adding a protective shell to the fragile lightning.

This time, the silvery-white lightning slowly enveloped the pale purple lightning, without any swallowing. However, the two lightning bolts remained distinct and could not truly merge.

Su Fan frowned, closed his eyes, and sank into his sea of ​​consciousness.

At this moment, the chaotic lightning in his sea of ​​consciousness moved like a small silver snake, while the lightning from the "Lightning Summoning Technique" was like a wisp of smoke, and the two always kept their distance.

He tried to use the power of his consciousness to push the two closer, but each time they made contact, the light smoke would be dispersed by the snake's aura.

Perhaps, we need to change the nature of the two types of lightning first.

Su Fan suddenly realized that chaotic lightning contains both life and destruction attributes, while ordinary lightning only has the destruction attribute. If he could inject a trace of life force into ordinary lightning, he might be able to find a breakthrough for fusion.

He acted immediately, separating a wisp of life force from the chaotic lightning and carefully injecting it into the pale purple lightning.

This time, a miracle happened.

After the pale purple lightning came into contact with the life force, it was no longer repelled by the chaotic lightning. Instead, it seemed to have found a support and slowly approached the silvery-white lightning.

Su Fan was overjoyed and quickly controlled the two bolts of lightning to rotate slowly, allowing them to intertwine little by little. Throughout the process, he felt a tingling sensation in his meridians, but there was no stinging pain as before.

Clearly, this is the right path.

After an unknown amount of time, when the two bolts of lightning completely intertwined, a new bolt of lightning, with a silvery-white luster and faint purple ripples, appeared at Su Fan's fingertip.

He tried to direct the lightning bolt at an ancient tree outside the thatched hut. With a "hiss," not only did scorch marks appear on the tree trunk, but tiny buds also sprouted around the scorch marks.

This is the effect of the fusion: it possesses both the destructive power of chaotic lightning and the power of life, while greatly reducing the damage to itself.

Su Fan opened his eyes, let out a long sigh, and the new lightning at his fingertips slowly dissipated.

Finally, the first step in the fusion of thunder and the Dao has been taken.

After Su Fan successfully fused the "Lightning Summoning Technique" with the chaotic lightning, the residual lightning on his fingertips had not yet dissipated when a bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.

Could the other hidden powers within him also be integrated into the chaotic lightning?

The scorching heat of the Yang Earthly Fiend, the biting chill of the bone-corroding Yin Wind, the unpredictable nature of the Eye of Ten Thousand Poisons, the chilling cold of the Nine Nether Mysterious Waters, the eerie cold of the Netherworld Yin Fire, and the heavy weight of the Netherworld Filth Soil.

If these many elements of power that had helped him defeat powerful enemies in the past could be combined with lightning, wouldn't they be able to create even more lethal lightning magic?

The moment the thought crossed his mind, Su Fan immediately took action.

He first summoned a wisp of Yang Earthly Fiend, a scorching red energy hidden deep within his dantian. As soon as it appeared, the temperature inside the thatched hut rose sharply, and even the jade slip on the stone table developed fine cracks.

He summoned another wisp of chaotic lightning, and silver-white lightning danced at his fingertips. But when the crimson-gold earthly energy and the silver-white lightning approached each other, the two forces repelled each other like enemies.

The scorching heat of the Yang Earthly Fiend attempted to devour the lightning, while the life force of the Chaotic Thunder resisted the Earthly Fiend's intense heat.

The moment they made contact, Su Fan felt a burning pain in his fingertips. The two forces exploded together, creating a shallow crater in the bluestone by the pool.

Su Fan shook his numb fingers and pondered for a moment.

Thunder belongs to Yang, and although the Yang Earthly Fiend also carries "Yang," it leans towards violent and unparalleled destruction.

Furthermore, the bone-corroding yin wind and the nine-ninth mysterious water are both of the yin and cold nature, and their attributes clash with those of thunder. If they were forcibly fused, not only would they fail to create a new technique, but they might also disrupt the power within the body.

The attributes of Yang Earthly Fiend are masculine and scorching.

The attributes of the bone-corroding wind are yin and severing.

The Eye of Ten Thousand Poisons is characterized by its extreme toxicity and corrosiveness.

The properties of the Nine Nether Mystic Water are extreme cold and gloomy.

The attributes of Netherworld Fire are chilling cold and scorching.

The properties of Netherworld Wasteland are heavy and corrosive.

Su Fan then compared the "vitality," "destruction," and "penetration" attributes of the Chaos Thunder, trying to find the connection points between the various attribute powers.

Several months later, Su Fan finally found a breakthrough.

He used chaotic lightning as a "vessel," harnessing its life force to neutralize the violence of other elements, and then using the properties of the elements to enhance the effects of the lightning.

Su Fan started with the Netherworld Flame, which has a relatively similar attribute. Although this flame is yin, it has the power to burn and has something in common with the destructive attribute of thunder.

Su Fan activated the Chaos Thunder, condensing the silvery-white lightning into a small thunderball in his palm, and then carefully drew a wisp of dark blue Netherworld Flame from his dantian.

This time, he did not let the Yin Fire directly contact the lightning ball, but instead used the power of his sea of ​​consciousness to control the Yin Fire to slowly rotate around the lightning ball.

At the same time, a wisp of life force from the chaotic thunder was separated and wrapped around the yin fire like a thread.

At first, the Yin Fire resisted, its eerie blue flames flickering and trying to escape, but under the pull of the life force, it gradually became docile.

Half an hour later, the dark blue flames finally began to merge into the silver-white lightning ball.

A pale white halo appeared on the surface of the thunderball, and a smoldering "sizzle" sound was added to the originally pure thunder.

Su Fan tried to throw the "thunderfire ball" at the rocks outside the thatched hut. With a loud "boom," the rocks were not only shattered by the lightning, but the fragments were also wreathed in eerie blue flames.

Even when it fell into the pool, it didn't extinguish; instead, it heated the pool water, causing it to emit white smoke.

"It's done..."

A look of joy flashed in Su Fan's eyes; he had a successful case of the Netherworld Yin Fire.

His confidence soared, and he then attempted to integrate the bone-corroding yin wind.

This time, he still used chaotic lightning as a vessel, but after the lightning sphere was formed, he injected a wisp of bone-chilling black wind into it.

Unlike the integration of Yin Fire, the Yin Wind attempted to tear apart the lightning as soon as it came into contact with the lightning sphere. Su Fan quickly mobilized more life force to "bind" the Yin Wind inside the lightning sphere, allowing it to intertwine with the lightning.

Another half month passed, and a ball of lightning wrapped in black whirlwind finally took shape.

The moment it was thrown, the lightning ball made a sharp whistling sound. Not only was it more powerful when it exploded, but the flying lightning also contained tiny wind blades that cut deep marks into the surrounding trees.

With the successful fusion of the Netherworld Flame and the Bone-Corroding Wind, Su Fan figured out the core of the fusion.

Balance elemental attributes with the life force of chaotic lightning, and then use the characteristics of the elements to give lightning new effects.

Therefore, the subsequent fusion technique of lightning began to flow smoothly.

When fusing with the Nine Nether Mystic Water, he infused the pale blue mystic water into the lightning ball, giving the lightning a cold attribute. When it was fired, it not only exploded but also condensed a thin layer of ice on the ground, trapping the enemy.

When he fused the potent poison of the Eye of Ten Thousand Poisons, he drew out a wisp of pale green poisonous mist from the bottom of his eye. After merging with the lightning ball, the lightning was tinged with an eerie pale green.

The struck tree trunks quickly turned black and rotted, and the toxicity spread rapidly through the lightning.

When fusing with the Yang Earthly Fiend, he reduced the injection of life force, allowing the crimson Earthly Fiend and the masculine power of thunder to complement each other, forming a "Ball of Blazing Thunder" with a scorching aura that could ignite everything around it when it exploded.

When fusing with the Netherworld Impure Earth, he wrapped the grayish-brown Impure Earth power around the outer layer of the lightning ball, making it thicker and heavier. Upon landing, it would not only explode but also create a patch of earth spikes to trap enemies.

Three months later, Su Fan was finally able to integrate both elements into the lightning simultaneously.

He tried to combine the Netherworld Flame with the poison power of the Eye of Ten Thousand Poisons to condense a "Poison Fire Thunder Ball".

The pale white halo contained a light green ball of lightning. When it exploded, it not only burned with eerie flames but also released poisonous mist, making the air thick and sticky.

He then fused the Nine Nether Profound Water with the Bone-Corroding Yin Wind to create "Frosty Wind and Thunder," a combination of lightning with ice blades and swirling winds, making it even more powerful than the single fusion.

What surprised Su Fan the most was the birth of the "Earthly Fiend Filth Thunder".

The scorching heat of the Yang Earthly Fiend combined with the heaviness of the Netherworld's filthy soil, and then merged with chaotic lightning, to form a reddish-brown lightning ball.

After being thrown, the lightning ball did not explode upon landing; instead, it transformed into a lightning field, causing towering waves of earth to rise from the ground, entwined with crimson lightning.

It possesses both the corrosive effects of unclean soil and the destructive power of earthly evil and thunder.

To be honest, the new lightning magic, which incorporates these elemental powers, is much more powerful than ordinary lightning magic.

However, it cannot be compared with the "Taixiao Transformation Chaos Divine Thunder" and the "Taiyi Soul-Shattering Extreme Life Heaven-Shaking Tribulation Thunder".

These newly created fusion lightning techniques are from completely different dimensions compared to the ancient forbidden lightning arts.

Su Fan didn't intend to use these newly created thunder techniques to wreak havoc; in fact, he just wanted to comprehend the art of fusion of thunder principles.

After all, he knew very little about the power of the origin of thunder, so he could only start with the simplest ordinary thunder techniques.

The fusion of several of his own elemental powers is actually laying the foundation for comprehending deeper levels of the art of lightning fusion in the future.
