Thunder-Prison Heaven Grand Divine Ability!

After Chen Lingxi sat cross-legged and waited for Lin Suri's reply.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the jade pendant at his waist lit up slightly, and a Divine Sense message entered his Consciousness Sea.

It was Lin Suri's voice.

"Brother Chen, the Thunder-Prison Spirit Branch and the Divine Ability Jade have both descended and are located in the capital of the Ning Kingdom."

Brother Chen, you may come and collect it at any time.

Chen Lingxi opened her eyes, a look of joy flashing in them.

He didn't linger any longer, stood up, and walked out of the desolate mountain cave.

The azure clouds beneath his feet, interspersed with pale golden lightning, silently propelled him into the sky, transforming him into a dazzling rainbow of lightning as he sped away.

The wind howled in my ears, and the mountains and rivers rushed past beneath my feet.

Until they arrived at the capital of the Ning Kingdom.

Lin Suri and his group were in one of the mansions.

Chen Lingxi descended from the clouds from a distance as a sign of respect.

He walked into the city, passing through several fairly bustling streets, and arrived at the mansion.

Lin Suri was already waiting in front of the mansion.

He remained calm and composed, dressed in a black brocade robe, with a jade belt around his waist and his hair ornaments perfectly in place.

A rare smile appeared on his extremely pale face as he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Chen Lingxi from afar.

"Brother Chen, how have you been?"

Chen Lingxi returned the greeting with a cupped hand and said with a smile, "Thank you for waiting so long, fellow Daoist."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Suri stepped aside and led Chen Lingxi into the mansion.

This mansion wasn't large, with three courtyards, but it was protected by restrictions personally set up by Daoist Shurong.

The restriction was guided by starlight and was extremely mysterious. Without the master's permission, no other cultivator could easily break in.

The two walked through the front yard and came to a secluded room in the back yard.

The quiet room was small and simply furnished, with only a rosewood table in the center and two other items on it.

Chen Lingxi's gaze fell on the table, specifically on those two items, and her breath hitched slightly.

The first item was a spirit jade.

The spirit jade was about a foot long, and its entire body was light purple. Countless fine lightning patterns flowed faintly across its surface.

The lightning patterns seemed to move across the surface of the Jade Slip slip as if they were alive, and tiny arcs of electricity would leap out from them as they flowed.

As soon as the spirit stone came into view, Chen Lingxi felt an extremely deep and domineering thunderous aura rushing towards him.

That Daoist aura contained some ineffable principle of the universe, as if a thunder god was sealed within it.

"This is the Thunder Pool Grand Divine Ability Jade Tablet, which records the [Thunder-Prison Heaven] Great Divine Ability. This Great Divine Ability belongs to the Great Radiance Supreme Jade Dao and is the Dao of Thunder!"

Lin Suri spoke up from the side, saying, "This is the secret technique of Thunder Pool, which gathers the profound thunder of heaven and earth to create Thunder Prison. Even compared to the many Dao Foundation Grand Divine Ability in our Dao-Below Academy, Thunder-Prison Heaven is still one of the most powerful Killing Power techniques."

Chen Lingxi nodded, but her gaze had already shifted to the second item.

The second thing was a tree branch.

The branch was about three feet long, and its entire body was dark black, like a piece of charred wood that had been struck by lightning countless times, and it looked inconspicuous.

But beneath the seemingly charred bark, countless tiny sparks of lightning could be faintly seen flowing.

The lightning bolts moved slowly through the branches like tiny dragons, each movement releasing an extremely pure and concentrated essence of lightning.

What shocked Chen Lingxi even more was that the Daoist essence of thunder contained within the tree branch was exactly the same as that in the Thunder Prison Heaven Great Divine Power Spirit Wall, sharing the same origin.

"This Thunder-Prison Spirit Branch," Lin Suri continued to explain, "Is the Divine Ability object needed to cultivate the Thunder-Prison Heaven Divine Ability."

This item was obtained from a piece of wood struck by lightning ten thousand years ago.

The lightning-struck tree, having withstood countless years of thunderous attacks, had long since absorbed the Dao of Thunder into every branch and leaf, including a type of profound thunder called [Gold-Banishing Thunder].

Using this spiritual branch as a guide, one can transform the Gold-Banishing Thunder into Thunder Prison and cultivate the Divine Ability of the Thunder-Prison Heaven!

As Chen Lingxi listened, her gaze darted back and forth between the two treasures, the burning light in her eyes growing brighter and brighter.

Lei Yutian's Great Divine Power Spirit Wall.

Thunder-Prison Spirit Branch.

"These two things are the key to my advancement to the Dao Foundation Realm."

With these, he was able to begin cultivating that great Divine Ability.

If successful, this great Divine Ability will be transformed into the first Profound Root, planted in the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform, and one will completely step into the Dao Foundation Realm, transforming one's spiritual energy into true Dao Origin.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement.

He slowly reached out his hand.

I picked up two things, one warm and one cool, one heavy and one light.

The Divine Ability Jade felt warm and smooth to the touch, while the Thunder-Prison Spirit Branch felt icy cold to the bone.

He held the two treasures tightly in his palms, raised his head, his gaze fixed intently on Lin Suri, and solemnly bowed.

"Thank you very much, fellow Daoist. I also thank Senior Shu Rong and Senior Chen Lingxi Ming Zhu. I will remember this kindness forever."

Lin Suri waved his hand, his smile unchanged, "Brother Chen has saved my life several times, and he also killed that Daoist Fire Tuo in this Nanche Prefectural City, preserving this Guiding Passage Formation favor for my Dao-Below Academy."

These two things are merely a reciprocal gesture; Brother Chen, you needn't take them to heart."

Chen Lingxi up and carefully put the two treasures into the Hongdong Bag.

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke, "Brother Dao, in the battle of Nanche Province, Emperor Daye faced Zhao Duanxuan and advanced to second place on the Immortal Ranking... He was no match for Zhao Duanxuan? Did Senior Shu Rong say anything about it?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Suri's smile slowly faded, and a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes.

"Emperor Daye is no ordinary cultivator at the Dao Foundation Middle Stage; he seems to have also borrowed the profound and powerful energy of this Cave Heaven!"

He used the Heavenly Decline Method Divine Ability cover an area of a hundred miles, trapping Luan Shu, Daoist Zhuxu, Bai Lingze, Yu Jiangwei within it.

Luan Shu's Great River Divine Ability was almost completely eroded by the Heavenly Decline Method, and his incarnation was nearly destroyed.

Daoist Zhuxu's Gingshen Platform Divine Art of Emperor Daye, and the nine-story altar completely collapsed.

Although Bai Lingze's Divine Ability were strong, they were also caught in a state of disorder under the erosion of the Heavenly Decline Method. However, according to my uncle, Bai Lingze's [Xianchan Dao] great Divine Ability still had some mysteries, but I don't know why Bai Lingze did not use it.

He paused, then continued, "Of the four, only Yu Jiangwei, relying on the Substitute Dao Body Grand Divine Ability, managed to carve a bloody path through the pervasive Heavenly Decline Method mist that stretched for hundreds of miles."

Although her two Dao Substitute Body were also severely damaged, they were ultimately not captured alive by Emperor Daye like Luan Shu and Daoist Zhuxu, and managed to retreat safely.

Chen Lingxi listened quietly, her eyes flickering with uncertainty.

Lin Suri continued, "Zhao Duanxuan arrived a little late."

When he arrived, Emperor Daye had already captured Luan Shu and Daoist Zhuxu.

Zhao Duanxuan clashed head-on with Emperor Daye, and the aftershocks of that collision completely razed the Nanche Prefectural City to the ground.

Afterwards, Emperor Daye, carrying the two captured Dao Foundation Realm incarnations, rode away through the air in his Nine-Dragon War Chariot.

As Lin Suri spoke, a hint of admiration suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Zhao Duanxuan is an elder of the Quexing Xi Family, and... this person's projection arrived, and for some reason, his combat power was far stronger than that of projections of other experts at the same level as him. Even the Emperor Daye was at a disadvantage in his battle against Zhao Duanxuan."

Lin Suri stopped there.

Chen Lingxi frowned and asked, "If that's the case, why Zhao Duanxuan travel all the way to Nanche Province, only to clash with Emperor Daye once, and then not pursue him?"

Lin Suri shook his head. "No, even Uncle Shu Rong doesn't know the reason."

Perhaps they felt that pursuing it would be pointless, or perhaps they were wary of the power of Emperor Daye Daye's Mountains-and-Rivers Grand Formation.

He hovered over Nanche Province for only a short while before departing.

Chen Lingxi silent for a long time.

Regardless, Emperor Daye Daye's achievements in this battle are still admirable.

Emperor Daye fought four opponents single-handedly, capturing two, forcing the other two to retreat, and then exchanging a fierce blow with Zhao Duanxuan before escaping unscathed. Such a feat would be legendary in any Cave Heaven.

He took a deep breath, suppressing these chaotic thoughts for the time being.

"Brother Dao, I wish to find a secluded place to cultivate this great Divine Ability in seclusion... Please take care, Brother Dao."

Lin Suri thought for a moment and then said, "The cultivation of great Divine Ability depends on one's own comprehension and also on fortuitous opportunity."

I know that Brother Chen is exceptionally talented and has unparalleled comprehension, but if he wants to cultivate great Divine Ability in seclusion, he will probably need some special fortuitous opportunity at the last minute... The Great Radiance Supreme Jade Dao is the Dao of Thunder. If there is a place where thunder is everywhere, it may be easier to cultivate this Dao.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be such a place in this Weiji Grotto-Heaven.

Chen Lingxi nodded and cupped her hands in a respectful gesture towards Lin Suri: "In that case, I shall take my leave."

Lin Suri also returned the greeting with a cupped hand. "Take care, Brother Chen."

Chen Lingxi didn't linger any longer and turned around.

His figure transformed into a wisp of cloud and flew away swiftly.

Along the way, he sat cross-legged on the cloud, immersing his Divine Sense into the Hongdong Bag, repeatedly examining the Divine Ability Jade and the section of the Thunder-Prison Spirit Branch.

He had already probed the Wielding Profound Thunder Dharma Gate within the Divine Ability Jade with his Divine Sense and read it through roughly once.

That method was extremely complex and profound.

Thunder-Prison Heaven of heaven and earth as his prison and his own Qi Sea as his Thunder Pool, refining that profound thunder into Thunder Prison.

Being in Thunder Prison, the Lord of Thunder Prison is extraordinary, possessing extremely powerful divine Divine Ability that Killing Power.

What's even more mysterious is that once this great Divine Ability is cultivated and planted in the Profound Root to become a profound Dao Platform, that Profound Root will automatically draw on the essence of thunder and lightning between heaven and earth, constantly tempering the cultivator's physical body and spiritual energy.

At that time, every move a cultivator makes will be imbued with the power of heavenly thunder. Even the most ordinary spell, under the blessing of that Profound Root, can unleash terrifying Killing Power far exceeding that of other cultivators of the same realm.

"This Killing Power Great Art is different from other great Divine Ability that are mysterious and profound, but it is simple and direct, and its Killing Power is formidable."

As Chen Lingxi pondered this, she couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

"Speaking of which, Brother Lin and that Daoist Shurong have been quite kind to me. Knowing that I cultivate the Thunder-Hiding Sword Canon and have some understanding of the Dao of Thunder, they specially sought out this kind of Killing Power Divine Ability for me."

"I only need to wait peacefully in this Weiji Grotto-Heaven, unaware of the many favors and efforts that the Pool-Soul Institute has gone through."

As Chen Lingxi pondered, he rode the clouds and flew away.

After a long time, Chen Lingxi finally saw many mountains.

One of the mountains is steep and rugged, with its main peak resembling a broken sword stuck upside down in the earth. The mountain walls are barren, covered only with jagged black rocks.

The area above the mountainside was shrouded in thick clouds and mist.

Chen Lingxi descended from the clouds and found a natural cave.

He pushed aside the vines and stepped into the cave.

The cave was quite spacious.

"It's quite a nice place," Chen Lingxi nodded in satisfaction.

He sat cross-legged on the flat blue stone in the center of the cave, took out the Divine Ability Jade and the Thunder-Prison Spirit Branch from his Hongdong Bag, and carefully placed them on the ground in front of him.

He took a deep breath, his gaze fixed intently on the two treasures, staring at them for a long, long time.

"I will cultivate the Thunder-Prison Heaven Divine Ability here, and besides that... I will also Sight-Roaming from time to time to see what Emperor Daye wants your two Dao Foundation Realm Incarnations to do."

"Once I cultivate great Divine Ability and plant the Profound Root, I can ascend to the Dao Foundation Realm!"

"At that time... while ensuring your own safety, please ask Emperor Daye to place the Immortal Husk into that Ancestral Mountain."

"Let's see if we can awaken the Great Sage Luo Yuan's incarnation!"

"To seek a glimmer of hope!"
