Chapter Summaries

After breaking through to Dou Zhe with Profound Thunder’s help, Mo Yu considered which cultivation method to pursue. He was tempted by the untested Extreme Spirit Thunder Method, which could forge a Heavenly Gang Thunder Body, but had not decided whether to risk cultivating it.

• Mo Yu inspected his new Qi Vortex and found his true Dou Qi far stronger than his former Ninth Duan Dou Qi.
• Mo Yu credited Profound Thunder with helping him complete the breakthrough and began considering cultivation methods.
• Mo Yu recalled that the Extreme Spirit Thunder Method could use Profound Thunder to transform the cultivator’s body into a Heavenly Gang Thunder Body.
• Mo Yu weighed the method’s enormous potential against its unknown success rate and wondered whether to cultivate it.

• Mo Yu examined his silver-white Thunder Dou Qi and realized the cultivation method had nearly failed because it neglected the soul’s compatibility with the evolving body.
