The sight before my eyes was like a miracle.

Streams of thunder tore through the sky, fell on the Golden Palace, and then turned into rolling thunder and fire balls, agile and violent.

Not only that, the entire top of the Golden Palace seems to be covered with a layer of gold foil, and the ridges of the palace with dragons, phoenixes, horses, fish, lions, etc. Ridge Beasts, shine brightly, as if a light bulb is lit.

Not to mention Wang Dao Xuan, even Li Yan's eyes widened.

"Don't wait, let's go!"

The Daoist leading the way was anxious, "I don't know when the thunderstorm will stop. If we miss the opportunity, we will have to wait at least ten more days."

Now that it is autumn, there are really not many chances of severe thunderstorms.

Li Yan The two of them did not dare to neglect any more. They followed the Daoist and accelerated their pace, passing through two corridors and arriving outside the Golden Palace.

This golden palace is located at the highest point of Mount Wudang, facing east and west. It is not large in area and is similar to a larger pavilion. It is a whole Gilded Bronze Hall, Double-Eaved Hip-and-Gable Roof.

Outside the hall, there is Bronze Lattice Doors, with large and Small Architrave cast on it. The upper eaves are made of Multiple-Layered Brackets with Nine Tiers, supporting the eaves and rafters. The lower eaves are made of Single-Layered Brackets with Seven Tiers Gilded in Gold, which is very exquisite.

Under the thunder seal, the Golden Palace was filled with flames, as if the Thunder God's Palace in the sky had fallen into the human world.

Outside the Golden Palace, several Daoists were waiting.

One of them, Old Taoist, stood under the eaves of the hall opposite, flicked his whisk, and said calmly, "Everyone is here, Thunder Fire Refining Hall's opportunities are limited, and each person only has one chance."

"Only if you have the courage to enter the temple, and not be disturbed by Celestial Gang Thunder Fire, and stay in concentration, will you have the opportunity to gain enlightenment."

"Whether it can be done or not depends on you..."

Rumble!

As soon as he finished speaking, another huge thunder struck down.

The Golden Palace suddenly shone brightly, stinging everyone so hard that they couldn't open their eyes. When the white light dissipated, there was a flash of thunder on the copper pillars.

Those who came to participate were not only Li Yan, but also Daoists from other Daoist temples on Mount Wudang, but the number was relatively small. With Li Yan and Wang Dao Xuan, there were only five people in total.

"I'll go first!"

One of the Daoists walked out first.

He was tall and bearded. He handed the sword behind him to others and rushed towards the golden palace with great strides.

There are also taboos when entering the Golden Temple to practice, that is, you cannot bring metal objects. Li Yan left all the metal instruments such as Severing Dust Blade at the Purple Cloud Palace, and Lotus Lamp used to decorate the altar were all replaced with ceramic lamps.

Another point is to choose the right time.

You must enter when the lightning falls.

This man was obviously a little impatient. As soon as he walked halfway, his messy hair suddenly stood up. His expression also changed and he quickly backed away.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning fell, and the golden palace flashed with lightning again.

"Next!"

Old Taoist's face remained unchanged and he said coldly.

The tall Daoist looked regretful and stepped aside.

Since it is an opportunity, it is naturally not so casual.

He turned back halfway and had already missed the opportunity. He could only continue to accumulate merit and look for opportunities to apply again.

Having learned from the past, the other two Daoists were much more careful. They waited until the thunder light flashed in the Golden Temple and rushed into it instantly.

One of them sat down cross-legged, trying to meditate, but thunder and fire roared, and he was unable to enter trance after several attempts. Divine Soul was almost injured and had to leave in frustration.

When Old Taoist saw it, he shook his head and reprimanded. "The foundation is not deep and Dao Heart is not solid. How can it withstand the test of thunder and fire? Don't aim too high."

"This is what my uncle taught me."

The young Daoist looked embarrassed and stepped aside.

The remaining Daoist was obviously not young, and his Daoist practice had reached the third floor. He had a calm temperament. After entering the Golden Palace, he quickly fell into concentration.

It is obviously more difficult to store gods in this golden palace.

He sat cross-legged, and in the flash of lightning, his face began to look ferocious after a while, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

After holding on for less than half a stick of incense, he spewed out blood and stumbled out of the Golden Palace.

Old Taoist saw this and comforted him, "Yes, it is much better than last time. I will definitely succeed next time."

"Thank you, uncle."

The Daoist turned pale and stepped aside.

Seeing this situation, Li Yan was also a little surprised.

Wang Jingxiu has already told him that Thunder Fire Refining Hall is the most difficult among Three Great Mysterious Realms, and very few people can successfully comprehend it.

If that doesn't work, go back to the Purple Cloud Palace to build the building.

Li Yan has been listening to this Thunder Fire Refining Hall because many of the people he associates with are Mount Wudang geniuses, so he has the illusion.

In this mysterious realm, the failure rate is actually higher than imagined.

Wang Dao Xuan on the side shook his head and said, "Yan XiaoGe, it looks like Thunder Fire Refining Hall will hurt Divine Soul. I have just built a building, so it is not advisable to take risks, lest I be broken up. Daoxing, you go ahead."

Wang Dao Xuan's choice was not wrong. Even Old Taoist next to him frowned and shook his head when he heard it, "It's really nonsense. No one told you about this. It's a waste of opportunity."

Ordinary people don't have Li Yan's Great Luo Dharma Body. A warrior's body is precious, and so is a practitioner's soul. Once injured, it will take a long time to recover.

Boom!

Another rolling thunder fell with terrifying force. Although all the thunder and fire was absorbed by the Golden Palace, the explosion and roar still caused the surrounding palaces to buzz and dust to fall.

Old Taoist looked up at the sky, frowned slightly and said, "You are also unlucky, the thunderstorm today was too violent."

"Hurry up, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get in later."

Li Yan didn't waste any time, just walked out carrying large and small bags, jumped twice, and fell into the golden palace.

He looked up and saw the statues of Attendant and True Martial Founder in the hall, with Golden Boy holding a book on the left, a jade girl holding a seal on the right, and Water and Fire Two Generals holding a flag and drawing a sword.

Without any hesitation, Li Yan immediately closed the door, then lit candles and oil lamps, laid out the complex Bagua array, then wrapped the red thread and hung up Yellow Talisman.

Then, he took out another cloth bag.

Inside the cloth bag, there are a Dark Wood, a Yunmeng Marsh medium stone, a Charm Coin, a broken Pottery Bowl filled with water, and an old oil lamp.

These are all collected by him, some were found by Giant Turtle Master, and some were purchased by him at Baotong Chan Temple. They are not top quality, but they are all Heavenly Spiritual Treasure.

To this day, he can freely control Great Luo Dharma Body and absorb the good fortune of Heavenly Spiritual Treasure at will, so he is not afraid to carry it with him.

This time he not only wants to build a building, but also "Gan Si Lian Wan Lv Heavenly Palace" in Luo Feng Six Palaces.

This is the power of <Luo Feng Scripture>.

The same Third Floor can also build one more palace than other sects, which represents a deeper Daoism and stronger ability to cast spells.

Not only that, when Luo Feng Six Palaces is built, there will be a corresponding underworld Divine Ability, such as "Gan Si Lian Wan Lv Heavenly Palace", which is Soul Hooking Chain.

As for the Divine Ability that the next level "Zong Ling Qi Fei Heavenly Palace" will get, even he doesn't know. It is not mentioned in <Luo Feng Scripture>. He knows Liu Gang who is the strongest practitioner of this method. He has completely given up his identity as Living Underworld Messenger before he built the second palace.

Outside the Golden Palace, Old Taoist frowned immediately after seeing it, and looked at Wang Dao Xuan next to him, "This is Li Yan, right? He wants to build a building inside the Thunder Fire Refining Hall?"

Wang Dao Xuan bowed his hands respectfully and said, "Yes, senior."

Poof!

A Daoist next to him almost laughed out loud.

Old Taoist turned to glare at him, then shook his head and said, "What a mess. Thunder Fire Refining Hall can only choose a light thunderstorm to build a building. In today's weather, no one can succeed."

"Get ready later, go in and rescue people."

"By the way, tell Junior Brother Yu Hanzi and ask him to prepare some decoction for bathing to release the thunder and fire energy..."

This Old Taoist is also kind-hearted. He did not ignore Li Yan because he was an outsider, but started preparing in advance.

Wang Dao Xuan couldn't help but feel worried when he saw this.

On the other side, inside the Golden Palace.

Rumble!

Terrifying thunder sounds continued.

This Mount Wudang Thunder Fire Refining Hall is a bit like a Ferrari cage. No matter how fierce the thunderstorm is outside, it will not enter the palace.

But Gangsha Energy inside the palace changed because of this.

Even though Divine Ability was suppressed, Li Yan could still smell the fresh yet stinky breath surging up and down in the hall.

Like an invisible beast, leaping around.

What makes Li Yan stronger than others is that because of Great Luo Dharma Body, he is also extremely courageous. He keeps wandering between extreme cliffs, which unintentionally matches the fearless spirit of a practitioner.

Phew~

After lighting all the oil lamps, a sudden wind blew out of thin air in the temple.

The strange thing is that all the oil lamps did not flicker dimly, but instead seemed to be injected with fuel and suddenly became violent.

Li Yan did not dare to hesitate at all. He sat cross-legged and kept making secrets with his hands, moving along Twelve Heavenly Stems while closing his eyes and concentrating.

The thunder continued to roar, like a god roaring in your ears.

Li Yan Strengthen yourself and stabilize your mind, and gradually enter samadhi.

Not long after, he arrived at the God Cultivation Space.

Cultivation in the Thunder Fire Refining Hall really makes a big difference.

Within the two-story divine palace, the two Daoist gods visualized by Li Yan opened their eyes at the same time and looked upward.

The originally hazy misty sky was now shrouded in dark clouds, with streaks of thunder flashing in it and roaring continuously.

These are all influences of the external environment.

Just like when he first built the building, he had to attract Earth Yin Energy, use its power to oppress, separate Yin and Yang, and visualize Yin Sea, Luo Feng Mountain and the divine tower step by step.

Of course, now, there is no need for such trouble.

Seeing the thunder roaring in the sky, Li Yan was not surprised but overjoyed.

<Luo Feng Scripture>In every stage of cultivation, there are changes.

Build the first layer of the building to separate the heaven and the earth.

The first chapter is Second Floor, clarifying Yin and Yang.

To build this Third Floor, it is natural to divide it into five elements.

That's why he specifically looked for the Five Elements Spiritual Item.

The Thunder is the cardinal transformation of Yin and Yang, and with its help, it will become easier to separate the Yin and Yang of the five elements.

Of course, the prerequisite is that he can bear it!

Rumble!

As the spell moves, a thunder flashes in the sky.

This thunder did not fall, but seemed to separate the sky.

Within the building formation, the five elements of spiritual objects began to emit their aura. At the same time, green, red, yellow, white, and black auras fell from the sky in the god-preserving space.

The original Shen Shen space was dark and gloomy, and seemed to only have two colors: black and white. However, as the breath of the Five Elements fell, the entire space quickly became more agile.

Of course, most of the five elements' energy fell on the mountain, wrapping the two layers of the divine tower and gradually growing in size.

Rumble!

This move seemed to arouse the wrath of heaven.

The lightning roared down and struck directly on the Yin Sea.

The waves burst and seemed to set off a tsunami, rolling in all directions.

Rumble!

Not long after, the entire Yin Sea flashed with lightning, and then began to expand outwards, which represented the rapid improvement of Li Yan.

The two gods of Li Yan smiled at the same time.

His guess was correct. It was indeed easier to build buildings in the Thunder Fire Refining Hall. Originally, when he divided the five elements, it would take much more time than this.

However, his expression changed immediately.

In the sky, thunder light continued to gather and surge, forming a sea of thunder, turning into silhouettes of people, arranged neatly, like Thunder Department gods in the sky.

What happened?!

Li Yan was shocked, the change before his eyes was completely unexpected.

Outside the Golden Palace, the faces of the people around also changed slightly.

I saw dark clouds rolling in the sky, and thunder falling like a waterfall. The roar continued, making everyone's heads buzz.

Wang Dao Xuan was horrified. "Senior, what happened?"

Old Taoist also had a face full of disbelief, "This... I have never seen this before. This is a sight only Thunder Punishment can see."

Swish! Swish! Swish!

At this moment, several figures jumped up.

When Old Taoist saw it, he quickly handed over his hand and said, "I've seen the master."

However, Thunder Fire Refining Hall was abnormal and alarmed Wudang Seven Elders who was practicing. The leader was none other than Wudang leader Yu Chanzi.

"Who is inside?"

Yu Chanzi asked with a slight frown.

"It's that layman Li from outside the mountain."

Old Taoist replied quickly.

"Oh?"

Yu Chanzi was thoughtful, then turned to look at Wang Dao Xuan, and asked in a deep voice, "Has this little friend Li ever practiced the thunder method?"

Wang Dao Xuan did not dare to hide it and said, "I originally practiced Yin Thunder Palm, but later I had to teach senior Yu Longzi to teach 'Heavenly Thunder Demon Subduing Hammer'."

"Fellow practitioners of Yin Yang and Er Lei?"

Wudang Seven Elders One of the people heard this and immediately frowned and said, "Lei is originally the change of yin and yang, and fellow practitioners of yin, thunder and yang, thunder, add fuel to the fire. Why are you so bold?"

"This Yu Longzi is just like his master, also..."

Halfway through his words, he forced himself to close his mouth.

Yu Longzi has a far-reaching reputation, and is considered one of Wudang God Ascender. He is known as the first person to catch demons and exorcise demons in Ezhou, and his thunder skills are extremely fierce.

However, Yu Longzi is not of the same lineage as Wudang Sanfeng Zhenren, but a former hermit on the mountain who joined True Martial Palace back then.

To put it bluntly, he is powerful but unconstrained, and he is a notorious drunkard, so he is naturally looked down upon by some people.

Of course, he is still loyal to Mount Wudang, otherwise how could he accept the order of the leader and go to Shu to run for his life.

Yu Chanzi's face remained calm, he pinched the Shangqing Jue in his hand, his eyes immediately flashed with lightning, and then he strode out.

Today's Thunder Fire Refining Hall has been shrouded in lightning.

And when he walked into it, those lightning lights surrounded him, actually blending into it, surrounding him, and he was unscathed.

He looked inside through the window.

I saw Li Yan sitting cross-legged and meditating, and streaks of electric light appeared out of thin air and penetrated into his body.

And this lightning was actually emitted from the mural next to it.

Above the mural, auspicious clouds surged, and there was a painting of a godly general with angry eyes and red hair, some holding swords, some carrying hammers, and flags flying behind them.

Since Great Xuan Dynasty, Great Emperor Zhenwu's status has been continuously improved, and the fifth volume of the "Emperor's Zhidao Taijing Jade Book" states. "Thunder Department gods should be sculptured on both sides of the Emperor Xuan Palace."

The Golden Temple is not large, so it is replaced by murals.

The leader among them has a golden face and three eyes, holds a golden whip in his right hand, and holds the Thunder God Secret in his left hand. His beard and hair are spread out, and he looks vivid.

The lightning was emitted from the thunder hammer in his hand!
