To cultivate it or not—this left Mo Yu deeply troubled.

Truthfully, Mo Yu was unwilling to give up on the so-called Extreme Spirit Thunder Method. After all, a Cultivation Method capable of evolving into the Heavenly Gang Thunder Body was simply too tempting for him.

Yet while the Cultivation Method was powerful, its vague and uncertain chance of success made even Mo Yu hesitate.

But Mo Yu knew just how formidable the Heavenly Gang Thunder Body was, so he naturally did not want to give it up so easily.

Although the creator of this Cultivation Method had merely been a senior from a Lower Plane, Mo Yu knew that there were many exceptionally gifted people in the Lower Planes as well. Restricted by their limitations, they might not have achieved greater heights, but that did not mean they were inferior to the prodigies of the Great Thousand World.

To say nothing else, weren't Xiao Yan and Lin Dong both formidable figures who had risen from Lower Planes?

And over countless years, who knew how many geniuses had emerged from the Lower Planes?

In Mo Yu's eyes, although this Extreme Spirit Thunder Method was strange, it was not empty or abstract. It possessed a certain degree of practicality. The person who had created it must have been an earth-shaking genius.

His fingers tightly interlocked, Mo Yu's face darkened and brightened uncertainly as hesitation and distress constantly tangled within him.

One path led steadily upward, while the other held an uncertain future—yet offered greater rewards upon success, though it was an unknown road shrouded in dark mist.

"Mo Sha, Han Shuang, you two old dogs, just wait for me!" For some reason, the hesitation on Mo Yu's face vanished, faint determination appearing in its place!

A Heaven Tier Cultivation Method was indeed impressive, but that was only in a Lower Plane. As for Mo Yu, his true enemies had already gone to the Great Thousand World.

Moreover, Mo Yu guessed that the Heavenly Gang Thunder Body was likewise a top-tier battle physique even in the Great Thousand World.

In that case, he might as well take a gamble!

Besides, Mo Yu was already somewhat inclined toward the Extreme Spirit Thunder Method. Having grown accustomed to the feeling of his domineering physique in his Previous Life, he could not bear to part with it now.

"If I fail, I can always go join Xiao Yan. That guy is the Son of the Plane, so he shouldn't disappoint me."

As the master of Profound Thunder, Mo Yu's Devour of Profound Thunder was nowhere near as dangerous as Xiao Yan's Devour of Heavenly Flames. If his physique ultimately failed to evolve, at worst he would waste several decades cultivating anew.

By then, Xiao Yan should already have become the Flame Emperor whose name shook the continent. Going to join his cousin then would not be embarrassing.

With that thought, Mo Yu silently made up his mind. The Extreme Spirit Thunder Method was both his best choice and the one that moved his heart the most.

Having made his decision, Mo Yu no longer hesitated. While recalling the vast amount of information contained within the Extreme Spirit Thunder Method, he sat cross-legged and began cultivating according to its method.

Inside the narrow cave, Mo Yu sat with his eyes closed as he converted his Dou Qi, remaining motionless like a statue.

After breaking through to the Dou Zhe realm, everyone gained the qualifications to cultivate a Cultivation Method. Once they cultivated one, the attribute-less milky-white Dou Qi Inside Body would transform into Dou Qi bearing the Cultivation Method's attribute.

The first Dou Qi conversion did not take very long. Thus, just two hours later, Mo Yu, who was seated cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes.

After cultivating a Dou Qi Cultivation Method, Mo Yu appeared somewhat more energetic than before. A faint luster like warm jade shone over his delicate face, making him look full of vigor.

Blinking, Mo Yu looked around the cave, which seemed much brighter, and gave a Slight Smile. He knew this was one of the enhanced sensory effects brought about by cultivating a Cultivation Method.

Mo Yu stretched out his fair palm. The Qi Vortex Inside Body, now entirely pale white, rapidly circulated a stream of white Dou Qi, which finally settled within the acupoints of his palm.

Releasing Dou Qi externally was something only a Da Dou Shi could possibly accomplish. Mo Yu clearly did not possess that strength yet, so the Dou Qi Inside Body did not break through the blockage of his acupoints. Instead, faint white light gradually appeared over his fair palm. The light resembled candlelight—though not dim, it was clearly not especially bright either.

"Looks like the fundamental value of this Extreme Spirit Thunder Method is roughly at the Mysterious Tier Mid-Grade," Mo Yu muttered as he looked at the color of the Dou Qi in his hand.

White was the signature color of a Mysterious Tier Mid-Grade Lightning Attribute Cultivation Method. The higher the grade of the Dou Qi Cultivation Method, the deeper its color.

Looking at the faint white glow in his palm, Mo Yu said with some emotion, "A Mysterious Tier Mid-Grade Cultivation Method may be extremely good to others, but to me, it's practically trash."

Although he had not held much expectation to begin with, seeing the grade of the Cultivation Method still left Mo Yu somewhat disappointed.

To a Dou Zhe, a Cultivation Method was practically a second life.

When Xiao Yan had first cultivated the Flame Mantra, it seemed to have been only Yellow-tier Low-level. He had practically eaten Qi Recovery Pills like meals, and his endurance was poor as well. That was why he had been so desperately eager for Heavenly Flames.

Mo Yu's situation was somewhat better than Xiao Yan's, but not by much. A Mysterious Tier Mid-Grade Cultivation Method could only be considered ordinary.

However, this Cultivation Method's greatest value lay in its ability to evolve one's physique.

Once the Heavenly Gang Thunder Body successfully evolved, the Thunder Dou Qi Inside Body—whether in quality, quantity, or combat performance—would far surpass that of a Heaven Tier Cultivation Method.

As the owner of the Heavenly Gang Thunder Body in his Previous Life, Mo Yu was incomparably confident in this.

"Now it all depends on whether this Cultivation Method can truly succeed." Mo Yu sighed, feeling somewhat uncertain.

At the Same Time, the sky outside darkened. Before long, raindrops began pouring endlessly from the heavens.

On the Pitch Black rainy night, torrential rain battered the mountain forest. The howling wind swept through the woods with rushing sounds, while occasional thunder exploded in the sky, its rumbling roar reverberating endlessly through the mountains.

Above the darkened sky, Silver White serpents flashed. Crackling sounds rang out without pause, and every so often, dazzling silver light illuminated the Pitch Black forest as brightly as day.

Within the cave amid the steep mountains, the Youth sat cross-legged as firmly as a boulder. After cultivating continuously for several days, he had become somewhat unkempt, faint stubble slowly growing around his mouth.

Yet no matter how fiercely the wind raged or how violently the rain fell outside, the Youth never moved in the slightest, as though even the end of the world could not alter him.

Next Moment, an inexplicable change suddenly occurred within the Youth. Terrifying Thunder and Flames abruptly blazed over his body, echoing the rumbling thunder outside the cave in a scene of utter terror. Then, in the Next Moment, they swiftly vanished and returned to his body, repeating in an endless cycle.

The Youth's Aura also slowly changed. Threads of white Dou Qi tinged with silver seeped in from the air before continuously pouring into Mo Yu's body...

The Pitch Black night slowly passed amid crashing thunder and lightning, while the mountain forest was mercilessly ravaged by lightning throughout the night. As darkness gradually faded, a faint ray of dawn shone from the eastern horizon, revealing the forest's miserable, battered state.

A round sun slowly rose from the eastern horizon. Its faint, warm light spilled across the land, bringing a trace of vitality and vigor to the mountain forest that had endured a night of lightning's devastation.

At the moment dawn arrived, the Youth slowly opened his eyes as well.

The spirited brilliance of the past was gone from his Eyes, replaced only by dense bloodshot veins.

A moment later, the Youth slowly recovered his focus. With a Mind Moved, a strand of Dou Qi immediately flowed out from his Qi Vortex.

The Dou Qi was no longer pure white as before, but had turned Silver White, carrying a terrifying aura of thunder.

Thunder Dou Qi!
