Youth Song: Leijiabao Thunder Emperor

"Could it be that the Mysterious Sword Immortal attempted to forcibly break through to the Divine Ascension Realm, only to suffer a backlash due to a failed breakthrough?"

That shouldn't be this serious. The backlash should damage the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit, not one's fortune or destiny.

Isn't it said that doing too many immoral things will lead to a backlash from bad luck?

No, something's 100% wrong.

How does one's fortune and destiny change?

Having read countless novels in his previous life, Lei Dong suddenly thought of a possibility and couldn't help but ask.

"There are too many reasons. For example, in the art of fortune-telling, revealing heavenly secrets will result in a backlash from the heavens, causing serious consequences that will affect one's own destiny."

Moreover, people may change their destiny when faced with major choices.

As for fortune, it's even simpler: bringing blessings to one's region can enhance one's fortune. Conquering the world will diminish one's own fortune.

Therefore, destiny and fortune are not immutable.

Lei Dong's eyes lit up upon hearing Qi Tianchen's words. He immediately understood the key point.

"Could it be this? That makes sense. I understand."

"What's on your mind? Do you have a solution?"

Li Hanyi knew Lei Dong's wicked nature well; he might actually come up with some kind of folk remedy for serious illnesses.

"When I broke through to the Freedom Realm, I suddenly had a sudden enlightenment, as if the rules of heaven and earth were opening up to me."

At the same time, an extra surge of energy appeared within my body, directly propelling me to the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm and the Soaring Realm.

That energy was extremely pure, vast, and mysterious. If it weren't for the special nature of my cultivation method, where I cultivate essence, qi, and spirit simultaneously, that energy would have been enough for me to reach the Great Freedom realm.

That energy even helped me solidify my foundation and enhance my talents.

I thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason, finally attributing it to a sudden realization. Now it seems that's not the case.

"What do you want to say?"

"Young friend, what do you mean? What is the connection between you and Yuzhen all of a sudden?"

"Brother Lei, stop keeping me in suspense."

The three of them got anxious when they heard Lei Dong bragging. "You bastard, at least get to the point!"

"That is a gift from heaven and earth."

My self-created cultivation method is different from all existing cultivation methods. It is a gift from this world to me, the creation of a branch of martial arts.

"Speak quickly."

Li Hanyi became very impatient upon hearing this.

"Simply put, it's a reward from Heaven and Earth for my good deeds."

"I'm talking about what's wrong with him now."

Li Hanyi was about to be driven crazy by Lei Dong's excitement.

"Oh, it's very likely that this world isn't inanimate; it also possesses sentience."

Those who perform good deeds will be rewarded, and those who commit wrongdoings will naturally be punished.

No, it's not punishment, but rather that Xuanjian Xian has been regarded as a demon by Heaven and Earth.

"Young friend, could you please explain more clearly?"

Qi Tianchen frowned upon hearing this. What utter nonsense!

"I used to talk about heavenly tribulations and human tribulations, but I didn't really know what they were. Now I understand."

Heavenly tribulations correspond to merits and virtues, while human tribulations correspond to fortune and luck.

After a cultivator breaks through the Vajra Mortal Realm, all their cultivation involves taking from heaven and earth; the stronger they are, the more they can take from heaven and earth.

If one does not repay this land, calamity will befall them.

This is because with great power comes great responsibility.

I pioneered the martial arts, bringing new life to this world, and the world has rewarded me in return.

As for Zhao Yuzhen, this world bestowed upon him the strongest fortune and the greatest talent. He cultivated to the half-step Divine Realm but made no contribution to this world whatsoever. In fact, he sought even more to break through to the Divine Realm. The world would naturally condemn him to the demonic path.

This is also the reason for the reversal of his fate.

As for destiny, he carried immense destiny and was supposed to protect the world, yet he never sheltered a single ordinary citizen.

Now that the fortunes have turned against them, it's understandable that the entire Wangcheng Mountain area is affected.

"This, how is this possible?"

Li Fansong immediately wanted to refute this, but was interrupted by Lei Dong.

"Why not? Merit and fortune are not endless. Naturally, he would have to reduce the fortune of others."

The birth of every person destined for great fortune is accompanied by a period of turmoil.

His fortune was originally meant to suppress unrest, but he hid at home and didn't go out, so the consequences naturally fell on others.

Those who voluntarily bear the consequences are fine, but if innocent people are implicated, he will naturally suffer the backlash.

The concept of merit and fortune is mysterious and difficult to explain, even Lei Dong couldn't quite articulate it.

All he knew was that Zhao Yuzhen always got the best, and her luck was no less than that of Baili Dongjun.

Baili Dongjun stopped the Demonic Sect's eastward expedition, quelled the war, and guarded Xueyue City, but in the end, his family was destroyed and he spent his days drinking.

Zhao Yuzhen grew up in a remote mountain village. He wanted to rise to the top in one step. What a wishful thinking! He thought that luck in the martial arts world was so easy to obtain.

"Young friend, your words make sense. I wonder if there is a way to resolve this?"

After calculating for a long time, Qi Tianchen finally nodded and asked.

"Staying alive isn't difficult; just wake him up."

As for luck, I should do more good deeds and practice good karma in the future to accumulate good fortune.

I'm just guessing based on my own experience.

Whether the universe truly possesses such intelligence, or whether it operates as I describe, I do not know.

Lei Dong thought for a moment and then said.

"You can wake him up."

Upon hearing this, Li Hanyi almost grabbed him by the collar, her eyes blazing like knives.

The others also looked at Lei Dong.

"My righteous spirit and Mr. Xie's noble spirit can dispel demonic energy."

However, this would definitely cause Xuan Jianxian's cultivation level to plummet, but his fate would still remain unchanged.

If he were to overcome that on his own, he might actually be able to break through.

"We humbly request that Mr. Lei and Mr. Xie lend a hand."

Upon hearing this, Yin Changsong immediately spoke up.

Ferry my ass! If he could really get across, would they have gone to all this trouble?

"As long as you have no objections, that's fine. I'm available anytime."

After Lei Dong finished speaking, he looked at Xie Xuan.

"What should I do?"

"I will seal his major acupoints with thirty-six silver needles, and then use lightning to dispel the demonic energy."

This process can be very painful.

Mr. Xie needs to use his righteous spirit to calm his mind and awaken his soul.

"Please, Imperial Advisor, protect his meridians and prevent them from being destroyed by the lightning."

"Ah. How do I do it?"

Xie Xuan was dumbfounded; this touched upon a blind spot in his knowledge.

"Mr. Xie should know techniques like the Illusionary Sound Technique, right?"

Use your righteous spirit to wake him up.

If that doesn't work, just call the fairy godmother.

"Thunderous Strike".

Upon hearing this, Li Hanyi was so embarrassed that she almost drew her sword to strike him.

"Let's do it."

Upon seeing Li Hanyi's outburst, Lei Dong quickly took out his silver needles and began working diligently.

Li Hanyi was so angry that she glared at him, not daring to disturb him.

With a wave of his hand, Lei Dong used thirty-six silver needles to seal thirty-six major acupoints on Zhao Yuzhen's body.

Each silver needle was sparkling with tiny arcs of lightning.

A hint of pain flashed across Zhao Yuzhen's face, which had been contorted with rage.

"Withdraw force."

As soon as Lei Dong finished speaking, the six celestial masters stopped fighting.

As soon as they stopped, the six of them almost collapsed to the ground, clearly nearing their limit.

As soon as the six retreated, Qi Tianchen immediately prepared. He could use his true energy to protect Zhao Yuzhen's meridians from being destroyed by Lei Dong at any time.

Qi Tianchen was ready, and lightning erupted from his Thunder Hand, instantly enveloping Zhao Yuzhen in a faint silver-white arc of lightning.

"Ah, oh. Ah."

Zhao Yuzhen, whose face had been contorted in a ferocious expression, suddenly let out a scream.

"Mr. Xie, hurry up, I need to increase the intensity."

Feeling the lightning penetrating Zhao Yuzhen's meridians through the silver needles, Lei Dong immediately spoke.
