Two Thunder Gods, Condensing the Soul Core

"This old man needs someone to accompany him in perfecting the Thunder God divine position!"

Hearing that this was Yu Zhantian's true wish, Yu Hengqing and Yu Yuanzhen both felt they had been swindled.

Perfecting a divine position? Was that even something they could touch at their current level!

For a moment, Yu Hengqing didn't know whether to say that their ancestor, Yu Zhantian, trusted his descendants too much, or if something had gone wrong while repairing his soul, leaving his brain muddled enough to come up with such a wish.

"Back when I was young, I always hoped to use my own strength to create a divine position just like the Dragon God. I cultivated bitterly for thousands of years, and finally, one day, I reached the standard to create my own!"

"But heaven did not grant my wish. Just as I was about to rely on my strength and the faith of the Thunder Dragon clan to achieve the position of Thunder God, a human genius who had ascended ahead of me completed this feat."

"The Thunder God position you have inherited is the one he created himself. Relying on his extraordinary talent, he spent only two hundred years mastering the laws of thunder."

Speaking of this, a rare look of reminiscence appeared in Yu Zhantian's eyes; it was clear that he truly admired the Thunder God.

"His Thunder God position was ranked as a first-tier god, while my own was only a second-tier god. Naturally, the heavens and earth favored the former, and since then, I have possessed god-level strength but no divine position."

"Of course, he did not stop after creating the Thunder God position! He sought out the Dragon God and said to him: 'I wish to comprehend your power!'"

Recalling the shock of the many dragon clans—including himself—and the Thunder God's unwavering resolve when he approached the Dragon God to comprehend that power, Yu Zhantian couldn't help but smile.

"At that moment, I felt not a shred of jealousy or resentment that he had snatched the Thunder God position before me, because he was braver than I was."

"After all, I would never have had the guts to say such offensive words to the Dragon God!"

Just as Yu Hengqing was listening, mesmerized, he realized Yu Zhantian had stopped speaking. Turning his head, he saw a stone gate carved with a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon appearing in his line of sight.

Because the back mountain of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect covered such a vast area, they had been walking for nearly an hour, which was why Yu Hengqing hadn't noticed they had reached their destination.

However, Yu Hengqing understood that Yu Zhantian hadn't told the whole story. He knew that the meeting between the Thunder God and the Dragon God, and what had transpired between them, was the most important part.

The Thunder God divine position was definitely not as simple as he had imagined; otherwise, why would the Silver Dragon King place such importance on his status as the heir to the Thunder God?

Seeing the atmosphere turn somewhat silent, Yu Yuanzhen immediately spoke up to break the quiet.

"Ancestor, Xiao Qing, this is the place where every Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect must undergo their test alone."

Yu Yuanzhen walked to the stone gate, took out his Sect Master token without haste, and injected his soul power into it.

As the soul power flowed in, mysterious golden patterns on the token began to glow.

These golden patterns detached from the token and merged into the stone gate.

"These patterns... it seems the third one had his own fortuitous encounters later on!"

Yu Zhantian stared at the golden patterns drifting from the token and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Did Ancestor Yu Jin leave these patterns behind? What is their purpose, Ancestor?"

Seeing Yu Zhantian react with such emotion, Yu Hengqing instantly understood that these patterns were something extraordinary.

"It must have been the third one. Only that brat would carve a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and include a single cracked scale!"

Following the direction of Yu Zhantian's finger, Yu Hengqing and Yu Yuanzhen looked at the stone gate simultaneously. Sure enough, they saw a crack on one of the scales on the dragon's left leg.

Although Yu Yuanzhen had been here several times and noticed the crack, he had always assumed it was just wear and tear from the passage of time.

"That rascal told me that if I ever woke up in the future and saw this mark, I would immediately know it was his handiwork."

As he looked at it, Yu Zhantian's voice choked up. He had thought he could calmly accept the death of the third one, but when he actually saw the relic left behind, the sorrow was difficult to suppress.

Yu Hengqing and Yu Yuanzhen said nothing, standing silently by his side as they waited for Yu Zhantian to compose himself.

"What a rascal!"

The person was gone, and Yu Zhantian knew that being sad was useless. He looked up, muttered a soft complaint, and regained his composure.

"Alright, we should go in. We've been outside for so long, and my original body hasn't reacted. It seems highly likely it is still in a deep slumber; waiting any longer is pointless."

Yu Zhantian controlled the bead to move past Yu Yuanzhen, taking the lead as he guided Yu Hengqing and Yu Yuanzhen slowly into the passage.

There were no night-luminescent pearls in the tunnel; they relied entirely on the soul power of Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Zhantian for light.

The passage was not very long, and Yu Hengqing finished walking through it in just over ten minutes.

At this moment, the group appeared in a wide, empty space, with only a ball of lightning suspended in the center.

"Wait here for me for a moment; I need to awaken the consciousness of my original body."

Before he had even finished speaking, Yu Zhantian controlled the bead to dive into the lightning ball, sending ripples through it.

Not long after the bead entered, the lightning ball began to fluctuate violently, its shape shifting into bizarre forms, changing three or four times in a single second.

Yu Hengqing and Yu Yuanzhen stood in place for a full half-hour before the lightning ball gradually calmed down and returned to its original state.

"Yu Yuanzhen, step forward!"

Suddenly, Yu Zhantian's voice emanated from the lightning ball, calling for Yu Yuanzhen.

Facing this sudden development, Yu Yuanzhen didn't hesitate. In the blink of an eye, he completed his martial soul possession and dragon transformation, stepping closer to the lightning ball.

"Ancestor, what do you need me for?"

After standing in the designated spot, Yu Yuanzhen cautiously asked the lightning ball.

At this moment, Yu Zhantian's consciousness was still in the process of merging, and he had almost entirely lost his perception of the outside world.

"Reach out and touch the lightning ball. I have condensed the excess thunder power from all these years into a bead. With this bead and Xiao Qing's Soul Core method, your strength will absolutely see a meteoric rise!"

Even though Yu Yuanzhen had approached him, Yu Zhantian still could not pinpoint his location, so he had no choice but to continue speaking.

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen turned his head to glance at Yu Hengqing, signaling him with his eyes to retreat if the situation took a turn for the worse.

Receiving the silent cue from Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Hengqing gave a slight nod in return.

Only after doing this did Yu Yuanzhen feel at ease enough to reach out and touch the lightning orb.

The moment his hand neared the orb, the thunderous power contained within it blasted his palm into a bloody mess.

Stung by the pain, Yu Yuanzhen did not flinch, continuing to reach his hand deep into the lightning orb.

Suddenly, Yu Yuanzhen's fingers brushed against a bead, one that was clearly smaller than the bead Yu Zhantian had possessed earlier.

Without a second thought, Yu Yuanzhen grabbed it and yanked it violently out of the lightning orb.

Once the bead was retrieved, Yu Hengqing began to explain the method of the Soul Core, which had been improved by Dugu Bo, to Yu Yuanzhen.

After listening to Yu Hengqing's explanation, Yu Yuanzhen could only sigh and remark that whoever came up with this method was truly a genius!

Relying on this technique, the strength of a Title Douluo would undoubtedly see a qualitative leap, making it entirely possible for one person to battle a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.

Calming his emotions and clearing his mind of distractions, Yu Yuanzhen sat cross-legged on the ground, clutching the bead, and began to condense the Soul Core.

Of course, Yu Hengqing also warned Yu Yuanzhen that this Soul Core method was not yet perfect, and he could adjust the path of his soul power circulation as needed while practicing it.
