Ultimate Lightning and Thunderclap Nether Vine

"Electric Feather Crown Eagle?" Qian Gu Die Ting had thought Qian Gu Huang Yu would choose the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. After all, like Ghidorah, it possessed the Lightning Attribute, and it was also of the dragon race.

Although he respected his daughter's choice, Qian Gu Die Ting still wanted to know why. "Can you tell me why you didn't choose the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon? The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is a true dragon. Back then, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan paid a huge price to ask us for that Soul Spirit, but we refused them."

Of course, Qian Gu Huang Yu could not say that she was afraid of being jinxed to death by the Gold-Silver Dragon King in the future. More importantly, no one would believe her even if she said it!

Qian Gu Huang Yu explained, "Because the Electric Feather Crown Eagle, like Ghidorah, can fly. I feel like they should be more compatible."

Just as father and daughter were arguing endlessly over which Soul Spirit to choose, Bei Gong Li directly interrupted them.

"Stop discussing this. They're just trash that doesn't even possess Ultimate Lightning. I'll take Xiao Yu to obtain a Soul Spirit truly worthy of her."

"Ultimate Lightning?"

Qian Gu Die Ting and Qian Gu Huang Yu simultaneously caught the key point.

Although Qian Gu Huang Yu's Ghidorah currently possessed only the Lightning Attribute, given Ghidorah's status, once it descended upon Douluo Continent as a Martial Soul, even if it only had the Lightning Attribute, it was unquestionably Ultimate Lightning. Bei Gong Li had already verified this before.

Because Bei Gong Li's Purple Lightning Evil-Breaking Dragon was also Ultimate Lightning, it was naturally not difficult for her to determine whether a Martial Soul possessed Ultimate Lightning.

Due to the evolution of the plane, the number of Ultimate Martial Souls had begun to increase. Thus, compared to Innate Domains, Ultimate Martial Souls were no longer quite so important.

But for Qian Gu Huang Yu, having an Ultimate Lightning Soul Spirit as her first Soul Spirit would naturally be an incomparably perfect match.

For Qian Gu Die Ting, however, the question was: Why did the Spirit Pagoda have an Ultimate Soul Spirit without him, the Pagoda Master, knowing about it?

"Mother, what is this about?"

Qian Gu Die Ting asked. As the Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda, he knew all about every rare Soul Spirit. If there truly was an Ultimate Soul Spirit, how could he possibly not know?

Moreover, if it were a Soul Spirit of unknown origin, Qian Gu Die Ting naturally could not rest easy letting his daughter risk fusing with it.

Bei Gong Li glanced at Qian Gu Die Ting and said, "It isn't a Soul Spirit from the Spirit Pagoda. I found it myself."

Qian Gu Die Ting was stunned. "Not a Soul Spirit from the Spirit Pagoda? That's strange. Looking across the entire planet, isn't the Spirit Pagoda the only one with the technology to create Soul Spirits?"

Soul Spirit creation and contract-forming technology were the foundation of the Spirit Pagoda. It was impossible for them to be leaked, and Qian Gu Die Ting was absolutely certain of that.

"Strictly speaking, it isn't a Soul Spirit yet." Bei Gong Li's words once again surprised Qian Gu Die Ting.

Bei Gong Li continued explaining, "When I traveled the continent in my early years, I discovered a Thunderclap Nether Vine in a remote mountain forest. Its cultivation was only ten years, but I was absolutely certain that it was a Thunderclap Nether Vine."

"However, I was already a Level 98 Super Douluo at the time and had no need for a Soul Ring, so I set up a restriction around the Thunderclap Nether Vine and planned to retrieve it whenever I needed it."

Thunderclap Nether Vine. Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Huang Yu's thoughts became more active as well. It was a soul beast rumored to possess the bloodline of the Thunder God. In terms of bloodline alone, among all soul beasts with the Lightning Attribute, none was more suited to her.

As for the curse that prevented Thunderclap Nether Vine from cultivating beyond Fifty Thousand Years?

Heh! That trash Zhang Geyang couldn't do it, but I have Ghidorah and the Treasury of the King, two great treasures. If I still can't handle it, how am I supposed to fight Tang San?

"Mother, why have you never mentioned this?" Qian Gu Die Ting asked. Bei Gong Li rolled her eyes at him and said, "I originally prepared it for you three siblings, but not one of you inherited my Purple Lightning Evil-Breaking Dragon. What was there to bring up?"

Qian Gu Die Ting smiled awkwardly and did not dwell on the matter. Although the Coiled Dragon Staff did not conflict with the Thunderclap Nether Vine, it was only natural for Bei Gong Li to hope that someone who could inherit her legacy would absorb this Soul Spirit.

In truth, the reason Bei Gong Li had not immediately mentioned the Thunderclap Nether Vine was that she had been hesitating over whether Qian Gu Huang Yu should absorb such a powerful yet violently ferocious Soul Spirit at this point.

Seeing Qian Gu Die Ting fall silent, Bei Gong Li did not continue to dwell on it. Instead, she asked Qian Gu Huang Yu, "Xiao Yu, are you willing to absorb the Thunderclap Nether Vine?"

"I am! Thank you, Grandma!" Qian Gu Huang Yu answered decisively.

Although Tang Wulin was the Child of Nature, he was only able to take the Thunderclap Nether Vine from Zhang Geyang because Zhang Geyang broke his promise to it, causing it to defect voluntarily. It wasn't solely because of the title Child of Nature. As long as I let it keep absorbing lightning, it will have no reason to betray me. Besides, by the time Tang Wulin is born, I should already have become a god, right?

Bei Gong Li affectionately stroked Qian Gu Huang Yu's head and smiled. "Why are you thanking me?"

"Come on. Let's go get Xiao Yu her first Soul Spirit." As Bei Gong Li spoke, she took Qian Gu Huang Yu's little hand and mobilized the Power of Space, directly bringing Qian Gu Huang Yu and Qian Gu Die Ting to the place where she had sealed the Thunderclap Nether Vine.

As silver light flashed past, the three of them arrived in a remote mountain forest.

As a Limit Douluo, Qian Gu Die Ting treated spatial travel as an everyday occurrence and naturally felt no discomfort.

Qian Gu Huang Yu, however, was not doing nearly as well. Even with Bei Gong Li deliberately protecting her, her first spatial journey still made her feel unwell. Her head was spinning.

Yet what surprised Qian Gu Huang Yu was that after sensing the Space Element at close range, her body seemed to be faintly excited. It was as though something was about to awaken.

Now isn't the time to think about that. Qian Gu Huang Yu shook her head, forcibly calming herself down. The main event was next.

Qian Gu Huang Yu soon spotted the Thunderclap Nether Vine Bei Gong Li had mentioned.

The Thunderclap Nether Vine looked like a massive cluster of vines. Every vine was jointed like bamboo, and its entire body was dark purple.

Qian Gu Huang Yu discovered three silvery-white triangular pyramids around the Thunderclap Nether Vine. The Thunderclap Nether Vine was enveloped by a purple triangular barrier emitted from those three pyramids.

Is the Thunderclap Nether Vine trapped by that thing? It should be a Soul Tool, right? Qian Gu Huang Yu thought.

Noticing Qian Gu Huang Yu's curious expression, Bei Gong Li explained, "That is a Level 9 Soul Tool I created myself, the Thunder Barrier. The Thunder Barrier can stop the Thunderclap Nether Vine from absorbing external lightning, while my Soul Power is not something a mere hundred-year soul beast can absorb."

"Your grandmother is a Level 12 Soul Master," Qian Gu Die Ting added.

Qian Gu Huang Yu's lips twitched as she silently marveled at how multi-talented the old lady truly was.

"Human, you still have the nerve to come back!"

A voice filled with fury and grievance suddenly rang out.
