Five Thunder Spiritual Power

Returning to Stone Bamboo Shoot Mountain's Listening Thunder Abode, Mo Yuan didn't immediately enter seclusion.

First, he used his True Essence to meticulously nurture the Thunder Dragon Evil-Slaying Spear and the Soul Cleansing Banner. During the recent journey to the Yellow Springs, both magic items had endured immense pressure, especially the Soul Cleansing Banner, whose spiritual light had dimmed slightly and required careful restoration.

Concurrently, he also divided a wisp of the Primordial Chaos Spiritual Energy, obtained from the system's sign-in, and slowly infused it into both magic items.

Primordial Chaos Spiritual Energy, the essence of all things, yielded immediate results.

The thunder patterns on the Thunder Dragon Evil-Slaying Spear's shaft became deeper and more dynamic, the phantom image of the Thunder Dragon Soul Essence solidified somewhat, and it showed signs of advancing towards becoming a Mid-Grade Magic Item.

The Soul Cleansing Banner's surface flowed with clear light, its damaged spirituality rapidly recovering, becoming even more pure and condensed than before. The golden border of merit also brightened slightly.

After dealing with the magic items, Mo Yuan officially began his seclusion.

Inside the quiet room, the formation was activated, isolating it from the outside world.

He first sank his consciousness into his sea of consciousness.

The phantom image of the Reincarnation Purple Lotus seed floated quietly beside the Soul Cleansing Banner, emitting a hazy yet noble purple glow, with wisps of Reincarnation Dao rhythm permeating the air.

This made his sea of consciousness more stable and expansive, cleansing away the lingering stray thoughts and divine sense fatigue from his previous cultivation.

He attempted to visualize according to the introductory method of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Contemplation Method. Although he was still far from visualizing the complete picture of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, even a vague outline significantly enhanced his control over his soul by several tenths, and he gained a deeper understanding of the partially integrated Reincarnation True Intent.

"With the help of this lotus and the contemplation method, even if I encounter soul impacts like the Yellow Springs skeleton again, I will have a greater chance of success," Mo Yuan's heart settled.

Subsequently, he focused his main energy on cultivating the Five Thunder Divine Method · Celestial Heart Scroll.

Previously, at the Ancestor Cave and the edge of the Yellow Springs, he had preliminarily grasped the intent of the Five Thunders, especially the three aspects of "Evil-Slaying," "Illusion-Breaking," and "Creation-Annihilation."

Now, with a treasure like Primordial Chaos Spiritual Energy for cultivation, he naturally wouldn't waste it.

He took out a Top-Grade Spirit Stone and held it in his hand, simultaneously drawing in that wisp of Primordial Chaos Spiritual Energy to integrate into his own cultivation.

In an instant, he felt his comprehension seemingly multiply several times.

Many obscure and difficult parts of the Five Thunder Divine Method became clear and understandable, his True Essence circulation speed also increased significantly, and his perception and absorption efficiency of the spiritual energy of thunder in the world surged.

He no longer confined himself to simple comprehension but began to attempt transforming the intent of the Five Thunders into tangible Spiritual Power.

Using the "Evil-Slaying" thunder intent as a base, fused with the sharpness of Geng Metal Thunderous Evil, he condensed a strand of platinum-colored Evil-Slaying Thunderous Gang at his fingertips, as thin as a hair but capable of breaking anything.

This gang energy specifically countered Yin and Demonic Qi and dealt immense damage to soul bodies.

Using the "Illusion-Breaking" thunder intent as a guide, combined with his own powerful divine sense, a faint flash of lightning appeared in his eyes as they opened and closed.

This allowed him to see through most illusions and concealments, directly reaching the origin—this was the nascent form of the Illusion-Breaking Thunder Eyes.

The most difficult was the application of the "Creation-Annihilation" intent.

He attempted to compress the forces of life and destruction to a single point, creating an extremely unstable thunderball—the Creation-Annihilation Thunder Pellet.

Upon hitting its target, this thunder pellet would first unleash destructive thunder to annihilate everything.

Then, from the ruins of destruction, it would foster a faint trace of life... or rather, a forced "purification" and "reconstruction," possessing immense and unpredictable power.

However, he was currently unable to control it perfectly, and the success rate was not high.

As for the "Punishment" and "Creation" intents, they were too profound, and he could only gain a slight understanding, with condensing Spiritual Power still a distant prospect.

Even so, the preliminary mastery of three Five Thunder Spiritual Powers caused a qualitative leap in his combat capabilities.

These were no longer simple spells but killing moves imbued with the intent of the Great Dao!

In the intervals of cultivating the Five Thunder Spiritual Powers, he did not neglect improvements in other areas.

The Divine Dragon Body Refining Art, under the tempering of Primordial Chaos Spiritual Energy and multiple instances of thunder and life-death energy, steadily advanced towards the second layer, with his physical strength and resilience increasing daily.

The Gengjin Sword Qi Secret Arts and the Evil-Slaying Thunderous Gang mutually reinforced each other, making his finger-swords and spear-light even sharper and more formidable.

The knowledge from the Ancient Demonic Script Analysis obtained from the black stone slab was also thoroughly mastered by him.

Now, when he looked at the patterns on the stone slab or the Nine Nether Demonic Array, he could decipher more information, although it remained incomplete.

However, combined with what he obtained in the Ancestor Cave, he had a clearer understanding of the origin and sealing of the Yellow Springs Demon God.

He even began to try conceptualizing the basic idea of the Life-Death Talisman rewarded by the system.

Using his preliminary integrated Reincarnation True Intent and Yin-Yang Qi as ink, and his divine sense as a brush, he sketched runes, attempting to create unique talismans capable of controlling life force and manipulating death energy.

Although he failed repeatedly, the talismans often turned to ash the moment they were formed due to the conflict between life and death energies, he still accumulated valuable experience.

Time flew by in his dedicated cultivation.

One day, as Mo Yuan was attempting to integrate a faint wisp of Yellow Springs death energy (harmonized and tamed by his Reincarnation True Intent and Yin-Yang Qi) into the Creation-Annihilation Thunder Pellet, hoping to increase its power and strangeness, the warning formation outside the quiet room was triggered.

It was a communication from Uncle Nine.

Mo Yuan awoke from his deep cultivation, the surrounding thunderous light and the intertwined life-and-death phenomenon slowly receding.

He felt his state was better than ever; the Five Thunder Spiritual Powers had been initially formed.

His cultivation had also completely stabilized at the peak of the Foundation Establishment mid-stage, only a hair's breadth away from the late stage.

He opened the quiet room, and Uncle Nine was standing outside, his expression carrying a hint of solemnity, but his eyes held more relief.

"Yuan'er, you've emerged from seclusion at just the right time."

Uncle Nine spoke, "The sect has found some important clues regarding the 'key'."

Mo Yuan's gaze sharpened, "Oh?"

"Based on the collation of intelligence from various sources, and the soul-searching of some captured mid-level Netherworld leaders,"

Uncle Nine said solemnly, "That so-called 'key' is not a physical object, but more like a... special destiny, or a soul trait.

The Black Fiend Sect and the Netherworld have been secretly searching for people who possess this destiny."

"A special destiny?"

Mo Yuan frowned. This was more troublesome than he had anticipated. A physical object could be snatched or sealed, but how could one guard against a person with such a destiny?

"That's right."

Uncle Nine nodded. "According to fragmented information, this destiny seems to be related to 'Yin-Yang balance' and 'intertwined life and death'. It can, to some extent, ignore or neutralize the repulsion of Yellow Springs death energy and the Nine Nether Demonic Array. It is the key to opening seals or activating skeletons.

They call it – 'Yellow Springs Guide'!"

Yellow Springs Guide!

Mo Yuan's heart trembled. He immediately thought of the Reincarnation True Intent and life-and-death aura he had initially fused. Could it be...

No, it shouldn't be.

He had achieved it through heaven-defying comprehension and system rewards, making it an acquired accomplishment.

Whereas the "Yellow Springs Guide" seemed more like a specially predestined existence.

"The sect is making every effort to investigate potential candidates with this destiny, but the scope is too vast, like finding a needle in a haystack."

Uncle Nine sighed. "Moreover, we suspect that the Netherworld organization may have already found their target, or has a clear direction for their search."

Mo Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Master, since the key is a 'person', can we do the opposite?

If we can find this person, we can either protect them, or... make some arrangements with them?"

A sharp glint flashed in Uncle Nine's eyes. "The Sect Leader and the elders also have this intention.

But the prerequisite is that we must find him before the evil cults do.

This matter requires careful planning. Since you have come out of seclusion, you will accompany me to see the Sect Leader to discuss it in detail."

"Yes, Master."

Mo Yuan followed Uncle Nine out of the Listening Thunder Abode. Sunlight fell upon him, and his peak Foundation Establishment mid-stage aura was naturally integrated.

Yet, it contained a heart-palpitating thunderous majesty and a trace of an indescribable aura of life-and-death reincarnation.
