Breakthrough to Dou Emperor! Obtaining the Supreme Thunder Method

"Brother Yuan is nineteen years old and is about to become Dou Emperor."

"If he fails to reach the Dou Zong by the age of twenty-one, which is two years from now, my daughter will return to her family."

"If Brother Yuan can become Dou Zong before he turns twenty-one, then I'll bet he can become Dou Zun before he turns twenty-five. If not, I'll return to the family."

"No matter how fast Brother Yuan's strength increases, Xun'er will return to the family at the age of twenty-five. But please give me thirty years, Father. Xun'er will not marry within these thirty years."

Xun'er explained her thoughts in detail, her beautiful eyes fixed on the illusory figure, her small hands unconsciously clenching.

"Hehehe." The illusory figure let out a soft laugh.

With his abilities and insight, how could he not see that Xun'er wanted to stall for time and return to the family as late as possible?

But her trust in Zhang Yuan in this bet surprised him greatly, especially since time was so tight.

"You seem to have a lot of confidence in Zhang Yuan, and the timeframe for this bet is quite generous," Gu Yuan said gently.

Xun'er was overjoyed, thinking that Gu Yuan was going to agree, but then she heard him say, "This agreement is acceptable, but I have one more condition."

"What are the conditions?" Xun'er asked hurriedly.

"Your own cultivation progress," Gu Yuan said solemnly. "You are my daughter, Gu Yuan's daughter. You cannot be weaker than Zhang Yuan. Therefore, you must achieve the goal of becoming a Dou Zong before the age of twenty-one and Dou Zun before the age of twenty-five."

"If I feel you cannot do it, I will assume you need to return to the Ancient Clan to receive proper training, and I will immediately bring you back to the clan."

Xun'er felt relieved, knowing that Gu Yuan was thinking of her, and filled with happiness, she said confidently, "Father, don't worry, with Brother Yuan by my side, Xun'er's cultivation speed will not be worse than that of the clan's promising talents."

"I'll be watching with bated breath." With a clear laugh, the illusory figure began to disappear, finally transforming back into a jade pendant that flew back into Xun'er's hand.

At the same time, a soul message flew into the silver energy cocoon and appeared in Zhang Yuan's mind. At the end, there was a voice. "Little guy, you heard what Xun'er said. She is my only daughter. As long as she doesn't betray the Ancient Clan, I can grant her anything, including this bet. But don't disappoint her or let her misjudge me."

As soon as the voice fell, Zhang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

The sudden sound did not distract him or cause any problems with his breakthrough; on the contrary, it made his Dou Qi become even more solid.

"What's this? The closest I've ever come to the Peak Dou Saint?"

Zhang Yuan smiled inwardly, then was filled with emotion.

He would never betray Xun'er's kindness, nor would he ever let her down.

" To Dou Zong to the top in two years, and to Dou Zun in four years?"

"Ordinary people may not be able to do it, but I can."

After all, he knew about the Thunder God Visualization Diagram as a cheat.

If he wasn't even a little faster than Little Yan, he might as well have smashed his head against Xun'er's chest and died.

"Uncle Gu gave me this small stroke of luck, and he'll share some with Xiao Yi Xian too."

Zhang Yuan released his Soul Power, manipulating the energy of the outside world.

"Boom!"

With an ever-increasing amount of energy pouring down, it solidified and entered the two cocoons of light.

Once the two energy vortexes disappeared, the color of the two energy cocoons deepened, and many mysterious runes appeared on their surfaces, radiating a unique glow, making them look quite wondrous.

Inside the dark purple energy cocoon, Xiao Yi Xian felt a sharp pain in her Spiritual Sense, and then she found that her perception of the outside world had become clearer. She knew that this was because her Soul Realm had improved and Zhang Yuan had helped her draw spiritual energy from the world.

Green and purple light appeared in her gray-purple eyes. She could clearly feel the barriers in her body dissolving, and every cell undergoing a radical transformation.

Within the silver cocoon of light opposite her, silver light appeared in Zhang Yuan's dark eyes, sweeping across like a thunderous storm, while thunderous sounds resounded within his body.

A powerful aura spread out, like a sleeping lion suddenly awakening, its pressure instantly filling the entire Inner Realm, and even the void above was covered with ripples.

"Breaking through to the Dou Emperor actually allows one to manipulate the void; Father should really see that." Xun'er's beautiful eyes lit up.

To access the power of space, most people need to become High-level Dou Huang, while those with average comprehension need to reach the Peak Dou Emperor.

Only the Ancient Emperor Clan knew that the earlier one could break through to the Dou Emperor and invoke the power of the void, the higher one's comprehension. Mid-stage Dou Emperor could touch the Power of Space, and as long as one did not perish, one could break through to the Dou Zong.

If one can access the Power of Space at the early-stage Dou Emperor, and assuming they don't perish in the future, they have a 50% greater chance of becoming Dou Zun than other Dou Zong.

If one can draw upon the Power of the Void during a breakthrough, it can be said that as long as resources are sufficient, one will surely become Dou Zun in the future.

Zhang Yuan, Dou Zun is within reach!

"Click!"

The Power of the Void spread and seeped into the Yan Shi Rock beneath the cocoon of light, turning everything within a ten-zhang radius into nothingness.

The cocoon of light contracted at this moment, revealing Zhang Yuan's figure. He sat cross-legged in the void, without relying on any external force, as if he were Dou Zong floating in the air.

Zhang Yuan glanced into the distance, feeling the surging, immense Dou Qi within his body, like a category 10 typhoon, and a feeling of having the world under his control arose in his mind.

But just by visualizing the Thunder God Diagram, he once again realized his insignificance. All illusions vanished in an instant, and with a thought, he began to absorb the spiritual energy in the world, his soul power spreading out from his body.

The immense spiritual power instantly filled the entire Inner Realm, making it clear about everything, from the green-purple energy cocoon where Xiao Yi Xian was located to the current state of Qing Yanjing and the other women.

As his Soul Power frantically absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Zhang Yuan felt that his Soul Realm had increased again, but it would still take some time before he reached the later stage.

As for reaching the Heavenly Realm, one must wait until breaking through to the Dou Zong and undergoing a fundamental transformation in the essence of life. A powerful soul requires a sufficiently strong foundation.

Zhang Yuan began to appreciate the progress brought about by the transformation.

However, a booming sound came from the Thunder God Diagram at that moment.

He sank into his Sea of Consciousness, where he saw a bolt of lightning strike, which transformed into a message.

"Thunder Method!"

Zhang Yuan's heart trembled.

Thunder Method is hailed as the foremost of all Daoist magic, the most revered Daoist art, and the strongest Daoist spell.

Speaking of which, I share the same surname as the founder of Daoism, so perhaps there's some connection between my ability to Thunder God Visualization Diagram and this?

Zhang Yuan was somewhat familiar with the emergence of Thunder Method, which was a new type of Daoist technique that combined existing Runes arts with Inner Elixir alchemy skills.

There are many schools of thought, such as the Shenxiao School and the Heavenly Heart Sect. The famous Heavenly Heart Five-Thunder True Method is derived from the combination of Tianxin Orthodox Method and Thunder Method.

The Thunder Method that Zhang Yuan has now obtained comes from the Divine Firmament Sect, and it can be described as Xuan Miao profound.

"Tao is the essence, law is the application; cultivate both inner and outer aspects, one can become a supreme immortal through inner cultivation, and vanquish demons and monsters through external application."

"By combining one's own energy with the techniques of walking the steps, using secret incantations, and employing talismans, one can harness lightning in the palm of one's hand, a technique known as ' Palm Thunder.'"

"It advocates internal alchemy and external Thunder Method. By combining these two approaches, one can mobilize the power of heaven and earth. And if one wants to use spiritual power, the source is the Inner Elixir."

A method for cultivating Thunder Method appeared in Zhang Yuan's mind.

After careful consideration, he discovered that it was slightly different from what he had initially thought.

The Palm Thunder is still the same Palm Thunder, but it no longer requires internal alchemy; it only needs external alchemy.

The Dou Emperor of this world can mobilize large amounts of external energy of the same attribute, which provides the basis for using Thunder Method.

There's no need to use one's own qi, plus the combination of stepping, secret incantations, and talismans. Of course, Zhang Yuan could also use his Dou Qi to activate it if he wished.

"The Palm Thunder can be considered a supreme Thunder Method; its power depends entirely on the caster."

"If a legendary immortal were to unleash this power, a single thunderous strike would annihilate the entire Dou Qi Continent."

"With my current strength, the power of Palm Thunder is about the same as that of a High-level Earth Grade Dou Technique. The advantage is that it can be cast instantly, as long as there is enough energy in the surrounding world."

"Then what if we add the Pill Lightning that occurs when Rank 7 Pill is formed?"

A faint glint of lightning flickered in Zhang Yuan's dark eyes.

He felt he could experiment with it, but its power couldn't be determined just by looking at it.

"Don't I have two old fogies around me?"

Zhang Yuan smiled as he thought of Old Yao Venerable Feng.

His gaze swept over the green-purple cocoon of light not far away, estimating that it would take another seven days to complete the transformation. Zhang Yuan then mentally traveled to the top of the Gravity Peak in the Ancient Void Realm.

At the summit of this mountain, Old Yao Venerable Feng sat facing each other, playing Go.

This game of Go doesn't exist in the Dou Qi Continent; it's a mini-game "created" by Xiao Yan and popularized by Zhang Yuan.

I now enjoy playing games with Old Yao Venerable Feng whenever I have free time.

"Little Yan has broken through to the Dou Ling," Old Yao said to Venerable Feng.

"Whether it's Yao Tian or cultivation talent, Little Yan surpasses Han Feng. What's most commendable is his character. You weren't blind when choosing your disciple this time," Venerable Feng said bluntly.

Before the Old Yao reply, he stroked his beard and said, "You have the same eye for choosing brothers back then."

The Old Yao looked up and smiled, then said earnestly, "I never imagined that we would be able to sit face to face and chat like this one day. We have to thank those two little ones for this."

"It's a pity I'm late, otherwise I would definitely have made Yuan boy my disciple," Venerable Feng laughed. "Then I would have completely outshone you."

"Qingluan is not bad either," the Old Yao said with a smile.

"He's far inferior to Yuan boy; it won't be long before Little Yan catches up to him," Venerable Feng sighed. "Although Qingluan is a member of the Heavenly Luan Clan and the most outstanding disciple of the Falling Star Pavilion's younger generation, he still falls short of those true prodigies; his bloodline is somewhat lacking."

The Old Yao placed a piece on the board and said, "When we return to the Falling Star Pavilion, I will refine an Rank 8 Pill for her to enhance her bloodline."

"Alright," Venerable Feng readily agreed.

The Old Yao paused in his chess-playing motion, then chuckled, "So you were waiting for me here."

"Haha, old friend, why would I be so polite with you?" Venerable Feng laughed as he placed his piece.

After a short while, he clicked his tongue and said, "Young Master Yuan, this place is really nice. Better Artifact Refining Method, richer fire-attribute energy, and the food and wine are even better."

The Old Yao shook his head and said, "You want me to ask that kid Yuan for wine again? The price I pay for refining Rank 7 Pill is far too low."

Venerable Feng immediately tried to dissuade him.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan suddenly appeared and said with a smile, "Elder Feng wants fine wine? Just do me a small favor."
