Seeing the silver-white Thunder Dou Qi, Mo Yu nodded slightly. He then took a brand-new set of clothes from his Storage Ring and changed out of the ruined ones.

After putting on the new clothes, Mo Yu tidied himself up. The Handsome Youth once again appeared in the world.

Once he had finished, Mo Yu immediately looked inward and examined the condition inside his body.

He crossed his still somewhat sore legs, calmed his mind, and quickly entered a state of cultivation.

His mind swiftly traveled through several meridians before arriving above the Qi Vortex in his lower abdomen.

Under his mental gaze, the Dou Qi Vortex had twice the capacity it had possessed before. Moreover, the flowing silver-white Dou Qi within it was clearly far superior in quality to the previous pure-white Dou Qi.

Furthermore, because he had initially evolved the Heaven Gang Thunder Body, the silver-white Dou Qi faintly contained traces of thunder. With the adhesion of these thunderbolts, the combat power of the silver-white Dou Qi would clearly become extremely terrifying.

"What a close call. I almost failed. It seems I still can't take too many risks." Recalling his cultivation just now, Mo Yu couldn't help wiping away a cold sweat.

Although this Cultivation Method seemed feasible, carrying it out had been full of twists and turns.

It could even be said that the creator of this Cultivation Method had completely overlooked a crucial issue: the compatibility of the soul.

The soul and the body were two sides of the same entity, and both could be said to be equally important. Strictly speaking, the soul was even more important.

After all, to some Strong Persons on the Dou Qi Continent, as long as a trace of their remnant soul remained, they could replace their bodies at any time.

Old Yao had resided within Xiao Yan's ring and later revived with the latter's help. Wasn't that the perfect example?

Yet the evolution of the Heaven Gang Thunder Body focused mainly on the body while almost completely neglecting the soul. This had clearly been a grave mistake.

Even if the creator's body evolved into the Heaven Gang Thunder Body while his soul remained unchanged, it was easy to imagine what kind of repulsion would occur.

If Mo Yu had not possessed the Heaven Gang Thunder Body in his Previous Life, causing his soul not to reject the body that was undergoing evolution, he would have already failed—or even exploded and died!

"It really was a trap. Fortunately, my luck was a little better."

Thinking of this, Mo Yu couldn't help feeling as though he had escaped from the gates of hell.

The creator of this Cultivation Method could already be considered an extraordinary genius. Beginning with the body had clearly been an extremely successful approach.

However, the soul was more mysterious and ethereal than the body. Researching it was clearly much more difficult, and even that great genius had failed to consider this point.

It could be said that, throughout the Great Thousand World, only a handful of people could successfully cultivate the Extreme Spirit Thunder Method.

After all, among those who possessed Profound Thunder, only someone who could prevent their soul from rejecting the body of the Heaven Gang Thunder Body could succeed. Yet someone born with this innate constitution would never cultivate a method for acquiring a constitution later in life.

Only because Mo Yu had been fortunate enough to escape with a remnant of his soul and happened to obtain this Cultivation Method had he been able to forge a Heaven Gang Thunder Body after birth.

This could also be considered great fortune.

"Although the process was quite perilous, the result isn't bad." Feeling the surging Thunder Dou Qi within his body, a smile appeared at the corner of Mo Yu's mouth.

The evolution of the Heaven Gang Thunder Body had only taken its first step. It could not even be considered an elementary stage, yet its power had already begun to reveal itself.

Although Mo Yu was not very confident that he could ultimately advance to a Heaven Gang Thunder Body acquired later in life, the Dou Qi within his body had already taken a great leap forward in both quality and quantity. It even surpassed ordinary Profound Tier High-Grade Cultivation Methods and approached the Earth Tier.

Moreover, the thunderous aura contained within the Dou Qi could inflict unexpected damage on his opponents during battle.

Once Mo Yu's constitution continued to grow, it would inevitably surpass the Profound Tier and Earth Tier, perhaps even reaching a level beyond the Heaven Tier!

That was the terrifying aspect of the Heaven Gang Thunder Body. As for Mo Yu, he had only just begun.

After taking care of everything, Mo Yu finally walked slowly out of the cave. He cautiously climbed the steep path to the mountain top, and after seeing that there was no one around, he nodded slowly. He then strode forward and walked straight toward the clan.

At this moment, following Mo Yu's departure, a scene like raging waves unfolded in another distant region of the continent.

Central Plains, the Lei Realm.

This place was the home of the Lei Clan, one of the Eight Ancient Clans.

Aside from the Xiao Clan, which had declined first, and the Ancient Clan and Hun Clan, the strongest among them, the Lei Clan could be considered one of the most powerful. Its members were also extraordinarily talented.

Yet such a powerful faction had fallen into some disorder at this moment.

The Lei Clan Main Hall was the Lei Clan's conference hall. Only Lei Clan members with a certain status were allowed to enter.

At the center of the Lei Clan Main Hall, a Man as imposing as an iron tower sat proudly. His skin was slightly dark, and the visual impact he gave people was extremely powerful. To the naked eye, it seemed as if a giant dragon were swimming beneath his skin, while an awe-inspiring sense of power faintly spread outward.

This person was the current Clan Head of the Lei Clan, an Eight-star Dou Sheng at the late stage—Lei Ying!

This Eight-star Dou Sheng at the late stage, who already stood at the pinnacle of Strong Persons on the Dou Qi Continent, suddenly rose to his feet. Like a giant dragon stirring the clouds and wind, his movement shook the surrounding Family High-Level Officials into turning their heads in astonishment.

His expression was no longer as confident and composed as usual. Instead, surprise and doubt were mixed with a trace of wild delight.

"The aura of a Divine Grade Bloodline—how could this be!?"

A deafening roar suddenly resounded throughout the entire hall.

Upon hearing the words "Divine Grade Bloodline," the Lei Clan's high-ranking officials all revealed looks of disbelief.

"What? Does the clan have a Divine Grade Bloodline?"

"A Divine Grade Bloodline? Where?"

"Could it be Lei Yu? He's one of the few eighth-grade members in the clan, but he still seems far from divine."

The chattering uproar made the usually solemn Lei Clan Main Hall resemble a bustling marketplace.

At this moment, the Young Clan Head, Lei Dong, suddenly came to Lei Ying's side and asked in equal astonishment, "Father, has a Divine Grade Bloodline appeared in our Lei Clan?"

The appearance of a Divine Grade Bloodline brought both delight and wariness to Lei Dong, the Young Clan Head of the Lei Clan.

He was delighted because the appearance of a Divine Grade Bloodline would greatly increase the Lei Clan's strength, perhaps even allowing it to surpass the Ancient Clan and Hun Clan in one stroke. Yet he was wary of how much this possessor of a Divine Grade Bloodline might impact his own position.

Just as his emotions were complicated, Lei Ying, standing beside him, shook his head solemnly. "This person isn't a member of my Lei Clan. I can sense that this person is extremely far from our Lei Clan. They're probably a Clan Member who was lost outside.

"But the sensation of a Divine Grade Bloodline is unmistakable. Although it appeared and vanished in an instant, and the aura was extremely faint, there's no mistake."

Hearing this, the hall fell completely silent. Even the Dou Shengs found this explosive information difficult to digest for a moment.

After a while, the Lei Clan's Great Elder suddenly slammed his cane heavily against the hard black floor, producing a thunderous boom. The floor, reinforced by the power of a special formation, was smashed into a large pit.

The aged Old Man spoke excitedly. "Then our Lei Clan must find this person as quickly as possible. Without undergoing the Emperor Altar's baptism, their Bloodline Grade is already so high. This is simply heaven's blessing upon our Lei Clan!"

For a time, all the Lei Clan members in the hall revealed expressions of wild delight.

How many years had it been since a Divine Grade Bloodline had appeared in the Lei Clan? They could no longer remember whether it had been several thousand or several tens of thousands of years.

Thinking of this, Lei Ying, usually a steady Clan Head, could not help laughing heartily. "Then send out the Black Demon Army and secretly find this person as soon as possible. As the Clan Head, I'll personally raise them!"

The moment these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

A moment later, a Black Demon Army Commander whose Aura remained hidden but whose strength was unfathomable arrived and asked for the location of the possessor of the Divine Grade Bloodline.

Hearing this, Lei Ying slowly turned toward a certain direction and spoke in a deep voice.

"The Northwest Continent!"
