After successfully breaking through to Dou Zhe, Mo Yu could not help but relax.

Breaking through nonstop for three days and three nights had left him somewhat exhausted.

After lying on the cold stone floor for a long while, Mo Yu finally slowly caught his breath. The joy on his face remained as he moved his slightly numb, sore legs and once again sat in a cultivation stance.

He lightly exhaled, his eyes slightly closed as his mind gradually sank into his body.

Inner Vision was an auxiliary skill that could only be mastered upon reaching the Dou Zhe level. The higher one's strength, the more thoroughly one could investigate the condition inside one's body.

His mind sank to the location of his lower abdomen. A palm-sized, milky-white Qi Vortex slowly rotated there, surrounded by a layer of milky-white energy resembling a nebula.

As he focused his mind on the tiny Qi Vortex, Mo Yu nodded in satisfaction. Although the Qi Vortex was still very small, the energy it contained was definitely more than ten times stronger than his previous Ninth Duan Dou Qi!

Dou Zhe and Ninth Duan Dou Qi were fundamentally different. Before reaching the Dou Zhe level, the energy one absorbed was called Dou Qi, but after reaching the Dou Zhe level, the energy one absorbed was true Dou Qi!

Although the two differed by only one word, the gap between them was like the distance between heaven and earth. They were completely incomparable.

Furthermore, although he had only just broken through to Dou Zhe, Mo Yu was confident that even if three- or four-star Dou Zhes fought him, they would not gain any advantage.

Controlling the Qi Vortex with his mind, Mo Yu's heart stirred slightly. A strand of milky-white Dou Qi quickly separated from the Qi Vortex, then surged along the path indicated by his mind.

With the rich experience from his Previous Life, Mo Yu naturally controlled the movement of Dou Qi as easily as moving his own arm, without the slightest awkwardness. Thus, after playing with it for a while, his mind slowly withdrew back into his body.

His tightly closed eyes suddenly opened. In his pitch-black pupils, the milky-white glow remained for several dozen seconds before gradually fading away.

His mouth slightly parted, and he forcefully spat out a somewhat murky breath. After expelling it, Mo Yu's complexion clearly appeared much more radiant.

"Fortunately, I had the help of Profound Thunder. Otherwise, I'm afraid this breakthrough would have failed." Feeling his explosively increased strength, Mo Yu could not help but sigh.

Sure enough, having a cheat comparable to a golden finger was simply too comfortable.

Looking across the entire Great Thousand World, whether it was Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, or any other rising Genius, without exception, every one of them possessed great opportunities.

Mo Yu was obviously no different.

"Now that I've broken through to Dou Zhe, it's Time to choose a suitable Dou Qi Cultivation Method." Mo Yu recalled the several cultivation methods stored in his mind while considering the importance of cultivation methods on the Dou Qi Continent.

On the Dou Qi Continent, the differences between cultivation methods depended on several factors.

First, there was the Qi Vortex's capacity for accommodating Dou Qi. If two people were of the same level, but one cultivated a Yellow Tier Cultivation Method while the other cultivated a Profound Tier Cultivation Method, then the person cultivating the Profound Tier Cultivation Method would undoubtedly possess far greater combat endurance than the former.

Second was the difference in the quality of Dou Qi. At the same level, if the person cultivating a Profound Tier Cultivation Method needed to expend one portion of Dou Qi, then the person cultivating a Yellow Tier Cultivation Method would have to expend ten times, or even more, to possibly achieve the same result as the former.

Third was the efficiency of absorbing Heaven and Earth Energy and refining it into Dou Qi during cultivation. Just as above, if two people wanted to absorb the same amount of Dou Qi energy, the person cultivating a Profound Tier Cultivation Method might need only ten minutes, while the person cultivating a Yellow Tier Cultivation Method would need a hundred.

Fourth, during battle, a person cultivating a Yellow Tier Cultivation Method was far less capable of wielding Dou Qi with the smoothness and speed of someone cultivating a Profound Tier Cultivation Method.

Considering all these reasons, the reason good Dou Qi Cultivation Methods were regarded as the utmost priority by countless people on the Dou Qi Continent became perfectly clear.

The higher the tier of the Cultivation Method one cultivated, the greater the benefits it brought. Therefore, countless Strong Persons almost threw themselves one after another into danger to obtain those high-tier cultivation methods.

Having lived another life, Mo Yu happened to have several excellent cultivation methods in his mind that suited him perfectly. Placed on the Dou Qi Continent, these methods would cause countless top experts to fight over them at any cost!

That was because these several cultivation methods were all existences comparable to a Heaven Tier Cultivation Method!

In Wu Tan City, a Profound Tier High-Grade cultivation method was already fought over frenziedly. Earth Tier Cultivation Methods were unheard of, while Heaven Tier Cultivation Methods were undoubtedly legendary existences!

It could be said that with the help of Profound Thunder, no matter which of these several cultivation methods Mo Yu chose to cultivate, as long as he did not perish, breaking through to Dou Zong and Dou Zun would be assured. Even reaching Dou Sheng would be just around the corner!

This was simply a broad road to success!

But for some reason, Mo Yu did not want to choose any of these cultivation methods.

That was because there was a cultivation method in his mind even stranger than a Heaven Tier Cultivation Method. Its success rate was unknown, but once it succeeded, the results it achieved would far surpass those of an ordinary Heaven Tier Cultivation Method!

It might even be no weaker than Xiao Yan's Flame Mantra!

As far as Mo Yu knew, the Flame Mantra was a strange, evolvable cultivation method that Old Yao had obtained by chance!

The Flame Mantra could indeed evolve, but the prerequisite for its evolution was using Heavenly Flames as materials. Every evolution required it to Devour a Heavenly Flame!

Therefore, aside from the future Flame Emperor Xiao Yan, practically no one had successfully cultivated it. Even its success rate for reaching the peak was only around twenty percent!

The cultivation method in Mo Yu's mind could likewise evolve, and it could likewise absorb Profound Thunder. However, what evolved was not the cultivation method itself, but the person's physical body!

Upon reaching its peak, the master of the cultivation method would become a Strong Person with the powerful constitution known as the Heavenly Gang Thunder Body!

This cultivation method was called the Extreme Spirit Thunder Method.

Mo Yu had obtained the Extreme Spirit Thunder Method by chance in an ancient ruin during his Previous Life. Its previous master had envied the power of the Heavenly Gang Thunder Body, so he had spent a thousand years creating a cultivation method capable of forming an acquired Heavenly Gang Thunder Body.

However, Mo Yu of his Previous Life had possessed an innate Heavenly Gang Thunder Body. Thus, he had not placed much importance on this cultivation method, merely skimming through it before paying it no further attention.

But Mo Yu's talent in this life was extremely ordinary. Even with the help of Profound Thunder and his experience from his Previous Life, he had no absolute confidence in breaking through to Dou Di.

Moreover, the Dou Qi Continent was merely a Lower Plane, while an even vaster Great Thousand World awaited him to conquer!

This made Mo Yu recall how, in his Previous Life, he had relied on the Heavenly Gang Thunder Body to grow from a mere ant into the terrifying Thunder God in less than twenty years.

A person possessing the Heavenly Gang Thunder Body cultivated several times, or even dozens of times, faster than ordinary people. Moreover, they never had to worry about unstable Dou Qi.

If Mo Yu possessed the Heavenly Gang Thunder Body in this life, he would not need to spend three months stabilizing his foundation. He could break through directly. This was the overbearing aspect of the Heavenly Gang Thunder Body.

Furthermore, Dou Qi would possess the might of thunder. Its attacks and killing power would both be at the pinnacle. Not only would its wielder be invincible among those of the same level, challenging opponents across levels would be an everyday occurrence...

Thinking of so many benefits, Mo Yu could not help but feel somewhat tempted.

Besides, the necessary condition for cultivating the Thunder Method was likewise to Devour Profound Thunder, and Mo Yu possessed that as well.

However, compared to the Flame Mantra's twenty-percent success rate, the Extreme Spirit Thunder Method was merely a newly formed, rudimentary cultivation method created by that senior. No one had ever cultivated it, making its success rate even more ethereal.

Should he cultivate it or not?
