Chapter 683 The Ancient Imperial Clan - The Thunder Clan! The Thunder Realm!
Inside the dean's office at Canaan Academy, Jiang Lin calmly toyed with the black lightning-patterned token in his hand. After pondering for a long time, just as the atmosphere was becoming somewhat oppressive, he suddenly spoke with a smile:
"Shouldn't this be something Xiao Yan should encounter? However, this old Lei Tou seems to be kind enough. I still have to make a trip to the Thunder Realm." Jiang Lin wasn't sure if he was possessed by Xiao Yan, but he felt that the old Lei Tou had no reason to make things difficult for Little Fairy Doctor, so he didn't have much emotion in his heart, just felt a little strange.

Of course, if that old Lei took a fancy to Little Fairy Doctor's bloodline and wanted to take a concubine for his precious son, then Jiang Lin would be furious.

It's blown up: It's not Jiang Lin who's blown up, it's the Thunder Realm that's about to explode.

However, Jiang Lin didn't think it was that serious, because Old Lei had talked to him and knew Jiang Lin's identity. He wouldn't want to make a mortal enemy of Jiang Lin at this time. Therefore, there must be other reasons. Soon, through Su Qian's description, Jiang Lin understood the cause and effect of the matter.

When that old man Lei first appeared at Canaan Academy, he had already figured out the aptitude of Little Fairy Doctor and the others. Later, when Little Fairy Doctor was about to break through to Dou Zun, the old man Lei reappeared and asked Little Fairy Doctor to go to the Thunder Realm to break through, thus achieving the effect of deceiving others.

Because Old Man Lei's cultivation level was truly terrifying, Little Fairy Doctor, realizing that she probably had no reason to refuse, agreed to Old Man Lei's proposal.

"In that case, we must make a trip to the Thunder Realm." Jiang Lin looked at the black thunder-patterned token in his hand, at the powerful and vigorous strokes of the character "thunder" on it, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Therefore, Jiang Lin first spent three days re-planning the future development plans of Canaan Academy and even the Black Alliance, and at the same time taught Yao Tianhuo some new high-level weapon refining secrets.

"Practice this book, 'Formless Weapons,' carefully. It should spark your interest in weapon crafting." Inside the Burning Heaven Weapon Crafting Tower, Jiang Lin directly imparted the super weapon crafting technique, "Formless Weapons," which he had comprehended, to Yao Tianhuo through soul infusion.

Upon obtaining the "Formless Weapon," Yao Tianhuo immediately felt his soul body, which had recovered to the high-level Dou Zong realm under the massive replenishment of soul power from the Holy Soul Hall, was about to explode.

"There's a lot of content, take your time to digest it. If you meet the right person, you can pass this method on." Jiang Lin first dismissed Yao Tianhuo, then taught "Formless Weapons" to several weapon-refining elders of Canaan Academy, as well as several weapon-refining geniuses that Jiang Lin had discovered in recent years that he found acceptable. Finally, he went into seclusion in the Burning Heaven Weapon Refining Tower and declined all invitations.

"I'll take some time to teach it to Teacher Hu Lei and the others as well." At the bottom of the Burning Heaven Refining Tower, Jiang Lin stroked his chin, pondering future developments.

The method of "The Formless Self and the Vessel" is so complex that its truths can only be transmitted through soul transmission, making it difficult to compile into a book.

Of course, "difficult to write" means that writing a book is challenging, not impossible. It simply means that even if Jiang Lin did write the book, it might take a hundred years for future generations to fully learn from it.
"The core of 'The Formless Soul' is that the soul needs to resonate with the world. The method of teaching through the soul can skip the most difficult stage of resonating with the world, because I have passed on a seed of the soul to them. They only need to water it and comprehend it."

Jiang Lin shook his head, banishing the jumbled thoughts from his mind, and then reached into his personal space to take out a green magic core.

"Let's refine the ninth-tier wood-element crystal core first." Jiang Lin glanced at the ninth-tier wood-element magic core in his hand, then swallowed it without thinking. At the same time, a large amount of spiritual materials were also swallowed by Jiang Lin. The next moment, endless divine essence and spiritual fire enveloped Jiang Lin, and the terrifying aura caused the surrounding space to collapse!

Strangely, Jiang Lin's Divine Essence Spiritual Fire did not emit extreme high temperatures. If an outsider were to observe, they would only find that the space around Jiang Lin was pierced by the Divine Essence Spiritual Fire, but they would not feel any temperature at all.

Not only could they not feel any temperature, but the scorching area beneath the Burning Heaven Refining Tower was actually getting colder and colder!
A month later, when the nine layers of lightning fell from the sky and disappeared directly beneath the Burning Heaven Refining Tower, a terrifying energy aura suddenly erupted from within the tower. The aura instantly swept across a hundred miles, but then receded again in the next instant, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

"Nine-Star Dou Zun!" Below the Burning Heaven Refining Tower, Jiang Lin held a crystal-clear, vibrant green life bead in one hand, and silently raised the other hand in front of him, carefully examining it. Finally, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and then swallowed the green life bead.

Jiang Lin, who was originally at the peak of the eight-star Dou Zun, broke through to the nine-star Dou Zun after successfully refining a ninth-order 'Dou weapon'. The high-density energy burst triggered the thunder of heaven and earth, and after absorbing the power of the thunder, Jiang Lin broke through to the peak of the eight-star Dou Zun.

"Sure enough. Now, whether I'm helping someone overcome tribulation or refining weapons, as long as there's lightning, I can basically improve my cultivation level." Jiang Lin sighed silently as he swallowed and refined the ninth-order wood-type crystal core.

The cultivation level of Nine-Star Dou Zun is neither high nor low, and it is not very useful to Jiang Lin because he is still lacking in many things. Even if he breaks through to the peak of Nine-Star Dou Zun in an instant, Jiang Lin will not be able to break through to a higher realm.

"I have a premonition that there is an unusual lightning within the Thunder Clan, and that lightning seems to have a favorable impression of me. Is it because of our frequent contact?" Perhaps due to his improved cultivation level, Jiang Lin's perception of space has become more acute. He can sense that there seems to be the aura of an unusual lightning within the heavenly lightning he just triggered.

"Rumor has it that the Thunder Clan possesses a special type of lightning called Black Demon Thunder. This must be it." Jiang Lin thought for a moment, then stood up, straightened his clothes, and asked the void, "Senior Lan Hong, do you have any chance of winning against a late-stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng?"

In the void, Lan Hong rolled her eyes at Jiang Lin: "You mean a two-star Dou Sheng can easily defeat an eight-star Dou Sheng? There's no chance of winning, absolutely no chance in this lifetime, but you can still survive. As long as you don't encounter a nine-star Dou Sheng, with my current strength, I can still escape with you by activating a secret technique."

"No, why are you asking this? You don't actually intend to antagonize the Thunder Clan, do you?" Lan Hong was somewhat puzzled. The Thunder Clan's current behavior was actually quite reasonable; they still had some sense. In fact, the Thunder Clan had even taken the initiative to help Little Fairy Doctor and the others cover up their tracks, which could be considered a form of indirect assistance to Jiang Lin.

"No, senior, you misunderstand. I was just asking. We will never become enemies, not even in this lifetime," Jiang Lin replied, using Lan Hong's words.

"However, Senior Lan Hong's power will determine whether I can be arrogant in front of the Lei Clan." Jiang Lin's lips curled up slightly. Lan Hong was his confidence in facing the Lei Clan. As long as he knew that the Lei Clan could not kill him, then Jiang Lin would know how to be 'neither humble nor arrogant'.

"Arrogant???" Lan Hong felt that she couldn't quite understand Jiang Lin's thought process, but considering that Jiang Lin wasn't stupid, she didn't press him further and simply replied, "The Lei Clan is not a simple imperial clan. Well, it seems that most imperial clans are not simple, and those who can reach the late stage of the Eight-Star Dou Sheng are not ordinary."

If it were a Dou Wang or Dou Huang, there might be some ordinary explanations. But these are all old monsters who have cultivated to the late stage of the Eight-Star Dou Sheng realm. There are no obvious weaknesses or loopholes in the late stage of the Eight-Star Dou Sheng realm. Any strong person who can reach this level will ultimately be judged by their overall combat strength. They are all basically well-rounded. The idea that they can be easily killed by a 'small knife' only exists in the story.

"Even at the same cultivation level, it would take me considerable effort to defeat a late-stage eight-star Dou Sheng expert like this, and killing him would require paying a price." It wasn't that Lan Hong wasn't strong enough; anyone who could cultivate to the peak of a nine-star Dou Sheng was inherently powerful. Rather, Lei Ying was simply strong enough. At the same cultivation level, Lan Hong could only defeat Lei Ying by a few moves at most, gradually expanding her advantage within those moves until she finally defeated him.

Of course, if Lan Hong possessed the cultivation of a peak Dou Sheng, then a late-stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng could determine life or death within three moves.

"I'm only a two-star Dou Sheng right now, so I can't fight. At most, I can help you escape. The escape techniques at the Dragon Emperor level are beyond the imagination of the Lei Clan." When talking about escaping, Lan Hong couldn't help but show a genuine confidence, as if she had spoken of her area of ​​expertise.

"Moreover, strictly speaking, I am actually in the early stage of Dou Sheng now, while the patriarch of Lei Clan is in the late stage of Dou Sheng. People in later generations like to use star ratings to classify strength, but in the past, each realm generally had three minor realms: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and peak stage."

"Oh, aren't there four now?" Jiang Lin was taken aback and asked subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, Lan Hong emerged from the void, rolled her eyes at Jiang Lin, and said, "Three realms, four names, isn't that normal?"

Others have five of the Four Demon Generals!

“Okay.” Jiang Lin shrugged helplessly.

"The difference between one-star and three-star realms isn't actually that big, but the difference between three-star and four-star realms is enormous. Based on my current strength, I need to recover to at least the seven-star Dou Sheng realm before I can compete with the strongest of this era, the nine-star Dou Sheng peak, to see who can run faster," Lan Hong said confidently.

"Tsk, I thought it was going to be a contest of who's stronger, but it turns out we still have to run away." Jiang Lin's face twitched slightly. He wondered to himself, "Is the reason the Loli Dragon Emperor is so small is to reduce wind resistance so she can run away more easily?"
"You think you're so great? If you're so great, then go to the Thunder Clan yourself." Lan Hong snorted coldly, glaring at Jiang Lin, who was half a head taller than her.

"Oh, hey, hey, you're really amazing, senior." Jiang Lin had no choice but to say some nice things.

Now, within Canaan Academy, Hun Ke'er has returned to Zhongzhou, preparing to break through to Dou Zun. The only powerful figure Jiang Lin can rely on is Lan Hong Yi Long.

"Hmph!" Lan Hong snorted softly, crossed her arms, and turned her head to the other side, refusing to look at Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin ignored Lan Hong's petty emotions and instead took out a black lightning-patterned token. Looking at the spatial fluctuations on it, he said, "Then, senior, let's not delay any longer. We're going to the Thunder Realm."

After refining the ninth-order wood-type crystal core, Jiang Lin had nothing else to prepare, so he left Canaan Academy with Lan Hong.

On a mountain range a thousand miles away from Canaan Academy, Jiang Lin and Lan Hong emerged from the void and looked up at the gloomy sky, where dark clouds gathered and thunder rumbled.

"This is one of the entrances to the Thunder Realm." Jiang Lin took out the black lightning-patterned token and looked up at the dark clouds and thunder in the sky.

The thunderstorms in the Black Corner Region are actually related to the Thunder Realm, as the Black Corner Region is not far from the Thunder Realm.

Jiang Lin glanced at the black lightning token in his hand, then raised it high above his head, aiming it at the dark clouds and lightning in the sky, and instantly injected the pure energy from his body!
hum! !

The next instant, the black lightning token burst forth with dazzling light, and countless lightning arcs flashed. After the tiny runes inside the token were activated by energy, a dazzling bolt of lightning instantly blasted into the rolling thunder in the sky!
The lightning bolt pierced into the rolling thunder and disappeared instantly. For a moment, all was calm. Just as Lan Hong was wondering if the lightning token given by the Thunder Clan had expired or something, the dark clouds in the sky began to roll and the rumble of thunder continued!

Finally, amidst a flash of lightning and a torrential downpour, a gloomy, empty space shrouded in dark clouds and thunder appeared before Jiang Lin and Lan Hong.

"That was pretty fun. Let's go, senior." Jiang Lin murmured to himself, then unfurled his twelve Wind Spirit Wings behind him. With a gentle tremor, Jiang Lin's figure instantly pierced through space, burst through the dark clouds, and disappeared. Lan Hong saw this, slightly pursed her lips, and then followed him.

The next instant, as Jiang Lin flew into the thunderous void, the Chaotic Spirit Eyes sensed a dramatic change in the surrounding space. Soon, after Jiang Lin and Lan Hong passed through the space tunnel surrounded by dark clouds and thunder, they arrived in a completely new world where the sky was even more gloomy and the air was always filled with the intense heat of thunder.

"Who goes there?! Trespassing on the Thunder Clan's sacred ground!" Just as Jiang Lin and Lan Hong stepped onto the land of the Thunder Realm, the Thunder Clan patrol team, sensing the thunderous aura of the 'Elder's Decree,' instantly transformed into streaks of lightning. In a flash, they appeared solemnly before Jiang Lin and Lan Hong, surrounding them completely!
The burly middle-aged man at the head of the group, exuding the aura of a high-level Dou Zun, looked at Jiang Lin and his companion, his gaze fixed on the lightning-patterned token in Jiang Lin's hand. His brows furrowed slightly, and he was about to ask something when the man holding the token suddenly spoke:

"Is this how the Lei Clan, one of the eight ancient clans, treats its distinguished guests?"
