The next day.

Yesterday, they had tested his bloodline grade. Today was the day to choose a Cultivation Method and Dou Skill. Lei Dong was already a Five Star Dou Practitioner, but so far, he still had not learned any Cultivation Method or Dou Skill.

This time, Lei Ying personally brought Lei Dong to a study in the Lei Clan that housed Cultivation Methods and Dou Skills.

When Lei Ying arrived, the two Dou Sheng elders guarding the place bowed together. "Greetings, Clan Leader, Young Clan Leader."

Lei Ying waved his hand. "There's no need for formalities. Open the door. I'm bringing Dong'er to choose some Cultivation Methods."

After bowing, the two men circulated their Dou Qi and opened the entrance.

Once the restriction-sealed door opened, Lei Ying led Lei Dong inside. After seeing the room full of Cultivation Methods and Dou Skills, Lei Dong had not even had time to look around before Lei Ying brought him before a portrait.

When they arrived before the portrait, Lei Ying said, "Dong'er, this is the opportunity left behind by the final Dou Di Ancestor of our Lei Clan. He once said that only the fated person could open it. Within lies his lifelong inheritance."

As if recalling something, Lei Ying continued, "In the past ten thousand years, including Father, more than several thousand people have come before this portrait. However, not a single one has obtained the inheritance. Now, you can try as well! If you succeed, Father believes you will definitely become a Dou Di in the future. If..."

Before Lei Ying could finish, Lei Dong interrupted him. "Father, how do I try?"

Lei Ying was stunned, then burst into laughter. This conversation was exactly the same as the one he had once had with the previous Clan Leader. He then said, "Hahaha... As expected of my son. You only need to drip a drop of blood onto it and quietly press it there."

Lei Dong nodded. Without hesitation, he raised his hand to his mouth and bit into one of his fingers. After pressing it against the portrait, Lei Dong calmed his mind.

The blood did not fall to the ground. Instead, it was absorbed into the portrait.

The next moment, the finger Lei Dong had just bitten healed instantly.

Lei Ying watched quietly from the side, but inwardly, he kept taking deep breaths. However, after a moment passed, it seemed that nothing had happened.

"Alas..." Lei Ying sighed softly. He had never expected that even though his son was already so outstanding, he still would not be the fated person.

"Dong'er, it seems that you also... This!?"

Lei Ying had been about to take Lei Dong to choose other Cultivation Methods. However, the moment he opened his mouth, the portrait suddenly opened a huge hole, and in the next instant, Lei Dong was sucked inside.

After being sucked in, Lei Dong looked around. This place stretched endlessly in every direction, as if it were another space entirely!

Just as he was wondering where to look for this opportunity, a flash of lightning flickered before him. In the next moment, an old man with flowing white hair and an immortal-like appearance appeared before him.

Lei Dong was slightly stunned. "You're the Lei Clan Old Ancestor?"

The old man spoke at the same time. "After waiting for so long, I've finally found someone who can inherit this Emperor's legacy!"

Hearing this, Lei Dong confirmed his suspicion. He then bowed. "This child, Lei Dong, pays his respects to the Old Ancestor."

The old man nodded, then waved his hand and lifted Lei Dong up. "Tell me, how is the Lei Clan doing now?"

Lei Dong was not surprised when the old man lifted him with a wave of his hand. After all, the person before him was a Dou Di powerhouse! Even if he was only a wisp of soul, he was still capable of crushing a Dou Sheng with ease.

Lei Dong thought for a moment, then immediately played up their hardships. "Reporting to the Old Ancestor, the Lei Clan's current situation is not good. In the past ten thousand years, not a single Dou Di has appeared. Although the Dou Di Bloodline has not dried up, it has weakened somewhat."

"And among the former Dou Di Clans, the Xiao Clan declined a thousand years ago. Now, seven clans remain. The Soul Clan is the strongest, with the Gu Clan second."

After Lei Dong's lengthy account of their hardships, the old man's brows drew together slightly.

He had not expected the Lei Clan to have become so weak over the past ten thousand years.

One had to know that the Lightning Attribute could be called the strongest attribute for attacking! Among all the Ancient Races, the Lei Clan should have been the strongest.

The old man said disappointedly, "Alas... I never expected that the once top-tier Lei Clan on the continent would now not even have a Nine Star Dou Sheng."

After sighing for a while, the old man looked at Lei Dong, his eyes shining brightly. "Lei Dong, I can sense that the bloodline in your body should be a God Grade Bloodline. Even compared to mine in the past, it is not inferior in the slightest! Once you awaken the Lei Clan Inscription, your strength will surely soar even further."

"This is the Cultivation Method I created back then, the 'Ten Thousand Lightning Technique.' After a thousand years of modifications, this Cultivation Method has now reached Heaven Rank Peak. However, the requirement for cultivating it is that one must possess a Lightning Attribute and a God Grade Bloodline. Also, this Storage Ring contains the Dou Skills I created."

The old man took out a Storage Ring and a scroll containing a Cultivation Method and handed them to Lei Dong, explaining everything to him.

After receiving the Storage Ring and Cultivation Method, Lei Dong was overjoyed!

"Thank you, Old Ancestor."

The old man nodded and continued, "You don't need to rush to examine the Cultivation Method and Dou Skills. Come with me. If you cannot pass the final trial, you may not be able to go very far!"

Just as Lei Dong was about to study the Cultivation Method and Dou Skills, the old man interrupted him. Hearing this, Lei Dong's eyes lit up as he looked at the old man in confusion. "Could it be that the Old Ancestor's inheritance is more than this?"

"Naturally." The old man nodded in confirmation. He then grabbed Lei Dong with one hand and carried him deeper inside. Along the way, he said, "There is an Exotic Flame in your body, but the wondrous spiritual objects of this world do not consist only of Exotic Flames!"

Tss~

Lei Dong was slightly shocked inwardly!

In the past, he had also wondered how there could be a spiritual object like an Exotic Flame in this world. If so, how could there not be other powerful elements?

However, since the books had not mentioned them, his doubts were useless.

Now that the old man had revealed this, Lei Dong instantly became extremely excited. Before he could ask, the two of them arrived at the deepest part.

Lei Dong saw an Array Formation made from four square pillars before him. Within the Array Formation, a Nine-Colored Lightning kept darting up and down, seemingly trying to escape.

"This is the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning that I condensed during my travels across the continent by gathering all the strange lightning in the world!"

"However, because I wanted to preserve it when I broke through to Dou Di, its intelligence and power were erased. For several thousand years, this Array Formation has nourished it every day. Its ability is absolutely not inferior to any Exotic Flame on the Strange Fire Ranking List!"

After the old man finished his introduction, the Nine-Colored Lightning began to hesitate.

The might of this Nine-Colored Lightning was not inferior to any Exotic Flame on the Strange Fire Ranking List? Did that mean... its strength was at least at the Nine Star Dou Sheng level?

Having a Dou Practitioner like him go in? Wouldn't that be suicide?

As if he had seen through Lei Dong's thoughts, the old man laughed loudly. "Hahaha... I never expected that my Lei Clan would produce someone who knows how to use his brain! Don't worry and go in. It cannot harm you inside the Array Formation."

As members of the Lei Clan, because of their formidable battle prowess, they had always preferred acting over thinking whenever possible. Even he was the same.

If it had been someone else, the old man was certain that person would have charged straight in without a second thought. Yet Lei Dong had resisted the temptation and hesitated?

Although this meant he lacked the Lei Clan's characteristic dominance, it did seem to be a good thing. After all, Lei Dong's current strength was still far too weak.

After hearing the old man's explanation, Lei Dong immediately relaxed and walked inside.

As for being a little cowardly? He did not find it embarrassing. After all, staying alive was what truly mattered.

The moment Lei Dong stepped into the Array Formation, the leaping Nine Heavens Divine Lightning instantly arrived before him.

"Zzzzt..."

"Zzzzt..."

Since it was formed from lightning itself, the energy surrounding it was naturally lightning power as well.

The Nine-Colored Lightning seemed to be sizing him up as it continuously circled around Lei Dong. Lei Dong was likewise thinking about how to subdue this bolt of lightning. When he had just reached out to touch it, he had been jolted back by a numb shock. The old man had just told him that as long as he could touch it, he could claim it as his own.

If Lei Dong failed to do so within a day, both he and the lightning would disappear, and there would never be another opportunity.
