Battle Through the Heavens: The Rock King Emperor's Leisurely Wanderings in the Mortal World

Chapter 32 Cultivating the Eternal Thunder Technique

It seems that although they have gained intelligence, they are still unable to break through the divine power space blockade of lightning.

Zhongli's senses continued to explore, and he discovered that there were indeed some newly formed strange lightning on the Dou Qi Continent. However, their power was somewhat lacking compared to the mature strange lightning that had been sealed by lightning a thousand years ago.

"Then, let's begin formally instructing you in the cultivation of the 'Eternal Thunder Technique'." Zhong Li slowly stood up, his tone firm and earnest. Then, Zhong Li slowly opened his palm, and in an instant, a crimson bolt of lightning shot out from the Lock of the Mortal World, instantly gathering in Zhong Li's palm to form a spherical lightning bolt.

"Strictly speaking, the Eternal Thunder Technique is not a low-level Yellow Rank cultivation technique, because the prerequisite for cultivating it is to completely devour and refine a strange thunder to expand the second soul meridian. Are you ready? Xiao Yan, what I have in my hand is the Crimson Flame Burning Thunder, ranked twenty-third on the Strange Thunder Ranking. Once you devour and refine it, you will not only gain a powerful strange thunder as a trump card, but also enhance your fire control ability."

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, then sat firmly on the boulder and said, "Come on, Master, I'm ready!"

Zhong Li smiled slightly and replied, "Very well, let's begin."

As he spoke, he manipulated the power of Thor to activate the "Eternal Thunder Technique." With a forceful throw from Zhongli, the "Eternal Thunder Technique" unfolded above Xiao Yan's head, and a circular beam of light completely enveloped him from above.

At this moment, electric shocks and hissing sounds kept randomly erupting from various parts of Xiao Yan's body.

"Ouch! Master, it hurts so much, and it's so numb."

"Don't be afraid. This is the process by which the Eternal Thunder Technique outlines the second soul vein within your body. Once the soul vein is outlined, you only need to devour and refine the Crimson Flame Thunder to completely expand and imprint your second soul vein."

"At that time, you will feel a surge of power. What you need to do then is suppress your cultivation as much as possible and solidify your battle aura. You were once a fighter, so you should know very well what the battle aura brings you. Hold on!"

Zhongli's gaze remained fixed on Xiao Yan. Seeing beads of sweat rolling down his face, he couldn't help but nod slightly in admiration of his resilience.

Then, Zhongli gently waved his hand, and the Crimson Flame Lightning flew out. The ball of crimson lightning hovered above Xiao Yan's head, and under the radiance of the Eternal Thunder Technique, it slowly seeped into Xiao Yan's body like a thread.

In fact, this Crimson Flame Lightning had already developed sentience, but unfortunately, it was sealed by Lightning True in the most secret and suppressive notebook space, and its sentience was completely obliterated by Lightning True. Therefore, when it was devoured by Xiao Yan, it did not show much resistance, but instead revealed a sense of closeness, as if it was overjoyed at finally being freed.

……

The Xiao family.

In Xiao Xun'er's warm and elegant boudoir, a strange black mist quietly gathered. In an instant, a figure with blood slowly seeping from the corner of its mouth seemed to emerge from the netherworld, gradually becoming clearer. Immediately afterward, Ling Ying felt a dizzying sensation, accompanied by a painful "Ah!", and fell heavily onto the hard floor.

"Elder Ling!" Xiao Xun'er was extremely anxious. She rushed over from the soft bed and carefully helped Ling Ying up. Her eyes were full of doubt and worry. "Elder Ling, what happened to your injuries? Who is this person who has such ability to injure you so severely?"

With Xiao Xun'er's support, Ling Ying slowly moved his feet and found a chair to sit down. At this moment, he felt as if all his strength had been drained, and he slumped in the chair, only able to breathe with difficulty, each breath seeming to have used up all his strength.

"No... it wasn't done by the enemy, but... it was Young Master Xiao Yan's second master."

"Zhongli Guest Elder? You fought with him? Has your identity been exposed?" Xiao Xun'er asked anxiously.

Ling Ying shook his head slightly, then laboriously reached out, picked up the glass of water on the table, and drank it all in one gulp, as if that glass of water was his only salvation at that moment.

"That Zhongli guest elder's strength is truly unfathomable. I was originally ordered by Miss to secretly protect Young Master Xiao Yan. Everything went smoothly until now, but in the past few days since Zhongli returned, I have been keeping an eye on Young Master Xiao Yan's every move in the shadows, as usual, while also trying to observe this mysterious Zhongli. But for some reason, every time I try to get close, an invisible force attacks me, making me dizzy. This is the third time already."

"Elder Ling, can you be certain that the elusive power truly originated from Elder Zhongli?" Xiao Xun'er asked solemnly.

Ling Ying remained silent, only nodding slowly, her expression quite heavy.

Xiao Xun'er frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Elder Ling, in your opinion, what is the approximate cultivation level of that Guest Elder Zhongli?"

Ling Ying's voice carried a hint of heaviness as she slowly said, "To be able to lock onto and stun someone like me, a peak eight-star Dou Huang, with just their aura, I estimate they must at least have the strength of a three- or four-star Dou Zong."

Then he raised his question: "How could such a powerful being appear in this remote and backward place?"

"I once asked Uncle Xiao, and he said he met Zhongli by chance in the back mountains of Wutan City."

"Why would a mid-level Dou Zong, whose strength surpasses that of Yun Shan, the former sect master of the Yunlan Sect and the top nine-star Dou Huang among the ten strongest figures in the Jia Ma Empire, choose to reside in this obscure Wutan City?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er's expression grew even more solemn.

"Could it be... that Zhongli, like Miss, is also someone sent by an ancient family to carry out a mission?"

The latest novel is first published here!

"Could it be that Zhongli's target is also the Xiao family's Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade?" Xiao Xun'er suddenly stood up. "No, I can't let such a powerful and uncontrollable factor as Zhongli stay here. I must tell Father about this!"

dong... dong... dong...

A soft knock came at the door, and Ling Ying's presence vanished without a trace. This was the unique characteristic of dark attribute battle qi—the ability to conceal one's form.

Xiao Xun'er's expression instantly changed, and the heavy atmosphere just now dissipated like morning mist, replaced by a lightheartedness with a touch of childlike innocence.

She pushed open the door lightly, and what came into view was a woman she had never met before, who was about the same age as Xiao Xun'er and whose appearance was equally stunning.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

"Ah, you must be Sister Xiao Xun'er! Hello, Sister Xun'er. My name is Little Fairy Doctor. I am a disciple of Zhongli Keqing and also Young Master Xiao Yan's junior sister. From now on, I will be your neighbor. I hope you will take good care of me in the future."

After speaking, Little Fairy Doctor slowly extended her hand, as if to shake hands.
