Lack of talent? I'll buy a year's worth of cultivation for one dollar!

Gu Yuan quickly made a decision in his mind.

"impossible."

"Lei Batian has been stuck at the half-step world lord level for millions of years. His thunder law is not yet perfected, so it is impossible for him to use the fire profound meaning beyond his level."

"As for the beginning..."

Gu Yuan shook his head.

Although the Second Elder is the peak master of Taichu Peak, his understanding of the "Taichu Burning Heaven Record" is only at the cultivation technique stage.

He hadn't even scratched the surface of the profound secrets.

"Those supreme elders who are in seclusion in the backyard?"

"If I've already left the pass, I'll definitely be able to tell immediately."

Gu Yuan's eyes grew even more profound.

Not the Grand Elder.

It's not the Second Elder.

Not the Supreme Elder.

Who exactly unleashed this pure, profound power of a realm master?!

Could it be an invasion by foreign enemies?

Not right either.

The sect's protective formation remained intact, showing no signs of being disturbed.

"interesting."

A faint smile curved at the corners of Gu Yuan's lips.

"It seems I must personally make a trip to Thunderfire Peak."

hum.

Gu Yuan's figure swayed.

His entire being transformed into absolute nothingness and vanished instantly into the chaos.

……

Lei Huo Peak, a forbidden area in the back mountain.

This is a desolate place completely shrouded in dark purple thunderclouds.

The air was thick with a suffocating atmosphere of destruction.

Even a black hole-level powerhouse would have their body crushed instantly by the violent pressure of the thunder.

The center of the forbidden area.

On an altar forged from meteorite iron.

A dark purple lightning bolt, no thicker than an arm, floated in the air, yet it exuded an aura that made even the Milky Way tremble.

He ranks third on the Universe Thunder Ranking!

The annihilating lightning of the Nine Heavens!

It did not tumble violently, nor did it roar deafeningly.

It just floated there quietly.

But the surrounding space, under its unconscious influence, is constantly collapsing and reorganizing.

The First Elder, the Second Elder, Lei Wuji, and Su Yu.

The four stood a hundred feet away from the altar.

The Grand Elder looked solemnly at the strange lightning bolt with awe.

Lei Wuji stood to one side, his posture upright, his purple robe fluttering in the thunder and wind.

His deep eyes were fixed on the Nine Heavens Annihilation Tribulation Lightning.

In his eyes, there lies a deep-seated conviction born of hardship.

"Ninety thousand years."

Lei Wuji silently recited this in his heart.

"I once sat in meditation on the edge of this forbidden area for a full 90,000 years."

"Day and night, I endure the excruciating pain of the Thunder Law tearing my soul apart."

"Every breath feels like dancing on a knife's edge."

Lei Wuji's Dao heart was terrifyingly resilient.

He knew all too well how dangerous this strange lightning bolt was.

Its rage is completely irrational.

Talent? Comprehension?

Before the devastating lightning of the Nine Heavens, if one cannot withstand the sense of destruction that strikes directly at the soul, everything else is just empty talk.

"Junior Brother Su Yu."

Lei Wuji turned his head and looked at Su Yu, who was standing calmly beside him.

His tone was objective, conveying an undeniable sense of rationality.

"I acknowledge your combat strength."

"I can't catch your ultimate technique."

"but."

Lei Wuji pointed to the strange lightning on the altar.

"Subduing the strange lightning doesn't rely on brute force, but on resonating with the laws of lightning."

The elder nodded slightly and took over the conversation.

"Wuji is right."

The elder looked at Su Yu, his tone revealing the sternness and solemnity of an elder.

"Su Yu, if you want to borrow the 'Nine Heavens Annihilation Thunder Scripture,' you must pass this strange thunder test."

"Let me ask you this: do you know how many levels there are in the control of strange lightning?"

Su Yu shook his head.

"This disciple does not know, please enlighten me, Elder."

The elder stood with his hands behind his back, his voice echoing clearly amidst the thunder.

"The strange lightning is violent and extremely difficult to control."

"Since ancient times, Lei Huofeng has divided it into three levels."

The elder raised one finger.

"First level, Thunder Breath Resonance!"

"This is the foundation for getting started."

"It requires martial artists to withstand the destructive pressure of the strange lightning and forcibly draw a trace of its aura into their bodies without being obliterated."

At this point, the Grand Elder glanced at Lei Wuji, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"Wuji sat in meditation for ninety thousand years, experiencing countless trials on the brink of life and death."

"Now, he has reached the threshold of this level and will soon be able to barely draw upon a trace of lightning energy."

Hearing the elder's praise.

Lei Wuji remained composed, showing no sign of pride.

But his back straightened slightly.

Ninety thousand years of arduous cultivation—this is his greatest source of confidence.

The elder raised his second finger.

"Second layer, Thunder Source Transformation!"

"Upon reaching this level, one can truly unleash the primal power of the strange lightning."

"Transform it into a weapon, or integrate it into your Dharma body and divine powers, and its power will be multiplied."

"I have cultivated for millions of years, and currently, I am only at this level."

The elder's voice carried a hint of regret.

Then he raised his third finger.

His eyes became unusually respectful.

"As for the third floor..."

"Its name is, Thunder Heart As You Wish!"

The Grand Elder took a deep breath, his voice filled with longing.

"That's a legendary realm."

"Yi Lei is as at your fingertips as an extension of your own arm, and has completely submitted."

"In the hands of the controller, the raging lightning is as smooth as flowing water."

"It's like an extension of one's own bloodline, with no risk of backlash."

"But this is only a record in ancient books."

The elder shook his head.

"Even the founder of my Thunderfire Peak sect never reached this level."

"After all, it is still a strange thunder. Its destructive nature means that it cannot be played with like a toy."

That concludes the science explanation.

The elder flipped his wrist.

A jade slip crackling with purple lightning appeared in his palm.

"This jade slip contains the auxiliary technique for subduing strange lightning, the 'Silent Lightning Guide'."

The Grand Elder handed the jade slip to Su Yu.

His tone was extremely serious.

"Take this and study it carefully."

"Remember, do not force yourself."

"If you feel a stinging pain in your soul, immediately cut off your senses and withdraw."

"Otherwise, if you trigger a violent clash of the strange lightning, even I won't be able to save you!"

Su Yu accepted the jade slip with both hands.

His expression was calm and serene.

"Thank you for the reminder, Elder."

Su Yu held the jade slip, feeling the tingling sensation emanating from it.

He did not sit down cross-legged.

They did not adopt any precarious cultivation posture.

He simply stood quietly in place.

Eyes slightly closed.

Deep in his heart, he called out the name with remarkable familiarity.

"system."

"Recharge and deduce the 'Nirvana Thunder Guidance'."

"First-rate star year".

hum.

As the meteor's balance is deducted.

Su Yu's consciousness was instantly pulled into that deduction space.

The long years suddenly arrived.

A meteoric year!

That's a timescale long enough to cause stars to fall and the universe to become desolate.

In the deduction space.

Su Yu completely dismantled this "Silent Thunder Guidance" technique.

He was not only studying the techniques.

He was using this endless time to forcibly smooth out the rage and arrogance within the laws of strange lightning.

Time is like a knife, cutting through all obstacles.

Under Su Yu's unnaturally long period of time.

The so-called rage, the so-called destruction.

They were all dissected and analyzed thoroughly, like peeling back layers of an onion.

outside world.

It's just a blink of an eye.

Su Yu slowly opened his eyes.

There was no flash of lightning or fluctuation of laws in those deep eyes.
