"Ninth Heaven Divine Lightning?"
"Chao Wendao?"
"He actually... broke through to the eighth bolt?!"
The Sect Master was astonished, his eyes brimming with delight.
Ninth Heaven Divine Lightning was a secret Spell of the Spirit Cloud Sect, and its requirements were exceptionally stringent.
Legend had it that the First Sect Master, Spirit Cloud Forefather, had wielded nine bolts of divine lightning during the Righteous-Demonic War, annihilating the Divine Souls of countless Demon Path Grandmasters.
Mastering Ninth Heaven Divine Lightning was outrageously difficult.
Aside from Spirit Cloud Forefather, no one had ever cultivated all nine bolts of divine lightning.
Even eight bolts were exceedingly rare.
Now that Chao Wendao had broken through to eight bolts, it was unquestionably a cause for tremendous celebration!
At that moment, he could no longer spare any attention for the dispute between Lu Ze and Ding Mingcang. He hurriedly prepared to send Chao Wendao a message through Spiritual Sense.
But before he could send it, Chao Wendao appeared before them.
"This old man pays his respects to the Sect Master."
Chao Wendao bowed slightly to the Sect Master's Spiritual Sense projection, then narrowed his eyes at Lu Ze with an approving smile.
His gaze swept over the disciples, lingering on Zhong Yi and the others bound by the Soul Locking Chains. By the time he finally looked at Ding Mingcang, his expression had turned utterly grim.
He had just received Zhong Yi's message, so naturally, he had already pieced together what had happened.
"Elder Chao, tell me... how did you break through to the eighth bolt?"
The Sect Master's voice was eager.
He wanted to draw on Chao Wendao's experience of attaining enlightenment. Perhaps it would help him break through his own bottleneck.
"In answer to the Sect Master—"
"I attained enlightenment within the Illusion Realm
