Going Out

Time passed in the blink of an eye. Five years later...(๑•॒̀ ູ॒•́๑) la la la

After the Lei Clan Grand Ceremony ended and Gu Yuan's marriage proposal fell through, everything returned to normal once again.

Lei Dong understood perfectly well why Gu Yuan had not replied to him.

Gu Xun'er was the kind of woman who would reject an entire banana plantation for the sake of one banana. Lei Dong, on the other hand, was precisely not the kind of man who would give up a forest for the sake of one tree.

No matter how one looked at it, the two of them were not a good match.

Besides, Gu Yuan was probably thinking of having Gu Xun'er seize the treasure in the Xiao Clan, while Gu Xun'er was merely using that as an excuse to avoid returning to the Gu Clan and meeting Lei Dong.

Over these five years, Lei Dong's cultivation had reached the early stage of Five Star Dou Zong. The Nine Heavens Divine Lightning and Fallen Heart Flame inside his body had also been nurtured to their peak.

Although his cultivation speed had slowed over the years, with the support of the Fallen Heart Flame and Nine Heavens Divine Lightning, Lei Dong could still fight even against one- or two-star Dou Zun experts.

At the very least, he had never lost when fighting the Dou Zong experts within the clan.

"You really want to go out and train that badly?"

Just after returning home, Lei Ying asked with a puzzled expression.

Lei Dong's desire to go out and train was not something that had started just a day or two ago. However, because of his special identity, Lei Ying had always refused.

But after Lei Dong had brought it up every day this year, Lei Ying was beginning to feel helpless.

Lei Dong nodded firmly. "That's right, Father. Since I was born, I haven't even taken one step outside the Lei Realm. Seeing the outside world will also help my cultivation!"

When Lei Dong used cultivation as his reason, Lei Ying genuinely did not know how to refuse. After all, he felt Lei Dong's words made sense. How could one grow quickly while remaining under constant protection?

"Can the Demon Lightning Pool of my Lei Clan not help you improve further?"

Lei Dong shook his head with a smile. "Father, I've already said it before. I won't enter the Demon Lightning Pool until I break through to Dou Zun. Its help hasn't reached its most effective point yet!"

In fact, this was the most suitable time for Lei Dong to enter the Demon Lightning Pool. However, he did not want to enter it just yet. If his guess was correct, the story was about to begin at this very moment, wasn't it?

Soul Emperor was indeed a terrifying opponent, but Xiao Yan was the same. Moreover, while recently cultivating his Cultivation Method, Lei Dong had discovered that as long as his Ten Thousand Lightning Technique had the assistance of lightning, he could continue cultivating indefinitely. Breaking through to Dou Di did not require the so-called Di bloodline origin. He could break through solely by relying on the lightning attribute of nature!

After learning this, Lei Dong suddenly felt that the matter he had previously worried about was not as troubling as he had thought.

There was no need for him to do anything else. He only needed to obtain the Ancient Jade of the Xiao Clan and exhaust all of Xiao Yan's opportunities.

Because if the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion were never opened, Lei Dong felt that, with the boost from his luck, he might still have a chance to break through to Dou Di!

That was why Lei Dong was so eager to leave the Lei Realm and go out to train.

As long as he obtained the Ancient Jade of the Xiao Clan, even Soul Emperor would have no choice but to obediently wait at the Nine Star Dou Sheng realm for Lei Dong to catch up.

As for worrying that the Lei Clan would be annihilated?

Lei Dong was not worried in the slightest. Although the Soul Clan was powerful, the Lei Clan was different from the Medicine, Stone, and Spirit Clans.

Besides, Soul Emperor's goal had always been the fragments of the Tou She Ancient Jade. After gathering seven fragments, the only thing he wanted was probably the eighth piece of jade.

Of course, all of this depended on Lei Dong obtaining the Xiao Clan's fragment without attracting anyone's attention. He also had to avoid exposing himself. Ideally, he would make Soul Emperor suspect Gu Yuan instead!

That would be the perfect outcome.

The main reason Lei Dong did not want to open the Ancient Emperor Cave was that he knew one Emperor Grade Pill alone would not be enough for him to become a Saint. And he truly could not bring himself to follow Soul Emperor's method... After all, that would cost the lives of several million people. Besides, he would be unable to obtain Tou She Ancient God's inheritance.

The two of them had one fire attribute and one lightning attribute. They were practically unrelated.

"Fine. I agree. However, I'll send two Guards to go out with you. Otherwise, I won't be at ease!"

After hesitating for a while, Lei Ying finally nodded and agreed. He also arranged two Peak Dou Zun guards for Lei Dong.

Peak Dou Zun experts were already absolutely top-tier existences in the Middle Continent and across the entire continent.

After all, most Dou Sheng experts were within the Ancient Races.

Lei Dong did not refuse and readily nodded in agreement.

Lei Ying also gave him a Space Jade Slip. If Lei Dong encountered danger, he could crush the jade slip and summon Lei Ying.

The next day.

Just as Lei Dong was preparing to set off, Lei Ying suddenly stopped him again.

The moment Lei Dong was kept at home, he felt terrible. Looking at Lei Ying in confusion, he asked, "Father, aren't you planning to go back on your word?"

Hearing this, Lei Ying snorted unhappily. "When have I ever lied to you!?"

After grumbling unhappily, Lei Ying looked toward Huo Yu. Only then did Huo Yu speak. "Dong'er, I was the one who asked your father to keep you here. Before you leave to train this time, go to the Flame Clan on your mother's behalf and pay your respects."

Hearing this, Lei Dong let out a sigh of relief. "So that's what it was. I thought Father was going back on his word!"

At this, a "#" appeared above Lei Ying's head.

He became somewhat annoyed. He was the dignified Clan Leader—how could he be the kind of person who broke his word? Most importantly, the person who doubted him was actually his own son!?

Seeing that Lei Ying looked ready to explode, Lei Dong added, "All right, I understand. Green mountains remain unchanged, and the rivers flow on. Goodbye!"

After leaving behind that sentence, Lei Dong shot away at the speed of light.

"Pfft~..."

After Lei Dong left, Lei Ying could not help laughing.

Huo Yu, however, looked worried and scolded him, "Dong'er has never left the Lei Realm since he was born. Now that he's going out to travel like this, you're still laughing!"

Lei Ying waved his hand. "He has two Lei Yas, Lei Ya and Lei Ya, accompanying him, as well as the jade slip I gave him. What could happen?"

How could Lei Ying not carefully protect such an exceptionally talented son?

Only after hearing what Lei Ying said did Huo Yu finally relax a little.

The next moment, Lei Ying suddenly approached and swept her up in his arms by the waist. "This little brat has finally left. When he comes back next time, we absolutely have to make him move out!"

Hearing this, Huo Yu flushed shyly. How could she not know what Lei Ying wanted to do? Lei Dong had lived with them ever since he was born. In addition, their son had been clever from a young age, so the two of them had been abstinent for many years.

Only when Lei Dong was in seclusion did they manage to enjoy a brief reprieve...

But who would have known that after that period of seclusion, Lei Dong would go into seclusion at home again? This had left Lei Ying terribly depressed!

After Lei Ying carried Huo Yu into the room, she shyly exclaimed, "Hateful~" and cast all her earlier worries into the Nine Heavens.

...(˘︶˘)...:*♡

Having just left the Lei Realm, Lei Dong felt slightly sentimental. Although he possessed the memories of his previous life, in this life, both Lei Ying and Huo Yu had fulfilled their responsibilities as parents and given him an abundance of love.

If it were not absolutely necessary, he truly did not want to leave home and go out training.

If he knew that Lei Ying and Huo Yu were not only unworried about him but were also working hard to give him a younger brother or sister, all his emotion would probably be destroyed in an instant!

"Young Clan Leader."

Just as Lei Dong was feeling sentimental about leaving his homeland, two burly and powerfully built men appeared before him and bowed in salute.

Lei Dong merely glanced at Lei Ya and Lei Ya, then waved his hand. "Let's set off!"
