Lei Qi fell silent because he suddenly felt that sealing methods seemed rather useless. Wouldn't it be enough to simply make a poison pill?
"All right, go rest. Once we gather the three Heavenly Flames, I'll help you be reborn," Lei Qi said.
"Many thanks, Young Master Lei Qi." Heavenly Flame Venerable immediately cupped his fists in gratitude.
"Did you hear that? There are plenty of ways to deal with it, so what are you afraid of?" Lei Qi asked Little Fairy Doctor after Heavenly Flame Venerable disappeared.
"I..."
"You won't dislike me like this now, will you!"
Before Little Fairy Doctor could finish speaking, her lips were sealed.
Qing Lin, standing nearby, froze. She had been caught off guard by the display of affection!!
And although Little Fairy Doctor was the one being taught a lesson, Qing Lin was the one blushing furiously.
"Do I need to say anything more?" Lei Qi asked.
Little Fairy Doctor's face turned crimson, and she fled without looking back.
Resolving a girl's inner knots was something Lei Qi excelled at!
Seeing Qing Lin standing there motionless, her little face flushed red, Lei Qi did not favor one over the other and gave her a kiss as well.
Qing Lin had already been stunned, but now her gaze became even more dazed.
Still, considering that Qing Lin was young as well, Lei Qi merely gave her a light taste before sending her back to cultivate.
As for himself, he chose to seek out Cai Lin. If there was anyone who could truly cooperate with him in a real battle right now, it was undoubtedly Cai Lin alone.
When Lei Qi arrived at Cai Lin's residence, he learned that she was still cultivating.
With no other choice, he returned to his room with his desire stirred.
Lei Qi had originally wanted to visit his child, but given his circumstances, leaving the clan even once was extremely difficult. Most importantly, Central Plains was simply too far from the Northwestern Continent.
So, he summoned Zhang Yi and Yang Ji. Although the two held extremely important positions within the Thunder Legion, with the younger generation beginning to emerge, it was nearly time for them to retire.
Moreover, Clan Chief Lei Ying had assigned them the task of protecting him, so the two had practically become his personal subordinates.
Both Zhang Yi and Yang Ji were geniuses who appeared only once every few centuries among the Thunder Clan's descendants. However, because they lacked Dou Di bloodlines, there was ultimately a limit to their status within the Thunder Clan. But if they could continue serving Lei Qi, they might yet obtain positions as elders. Even becoming an elder on the Thunder Clan's outer perimeter would bring glory to their families.
Under such circumstances, the two naturally carried out their duties with utmost dedication.
"Young Master." X2.
"Zhang Yi, Yang Ji, I have a task for you two," Lei Qi said.
"Please give your orders, Young Master," the two replied in unison again.
"You two are going to the Northwestern Continent. Zhang Yi, you know where, right?" Lei Qi paused before asking.
"This subordinate knows," Zhang Yi answered.
"Good. Go protect her sect. Do not let anything happen to it. Also, she is my woman," Lei Qi said meaningfully.
"This subordinate understands." Zhang Yi immediately accepted the order.
Yang Ji was somewhat anxious, but how Lei Qi gave orders was not for him to question.
"Yang Ji, go with Zhang Yi. Afterward, bring me news. Also, when passing through the Black-Corner Region, inquire about Bodhi Body-Transforming Saliva for me. If there is any, bring it back. If not, return directly."
Lei Qi suddenly thought of something else: the Sea Heart Flame on Han Feng.
"Oh, right. Once you reach the Black-Corner Region, find someone named Han Feng. I want the Sea Heart Flame on him."
"Yes." Yang Ji immediately accepted the order.
After receiving their orders, the two left.
As for Lei Qi, he planned to take Zi Yan back to her clan.
Although he could raise Zi Yan himself, the Thunder Clan's methods of cultivation could not compare to those of the Void Ancient Dragon.
But after considering it, taking her back with his current strength was clearly inappropriate. The Thunder Clan could suppress the rebellion of the Ancient Dragon Clan, but even if he brought Zi Yan and subdued the rebels, the Ancient Dragon Clan would likely misunderstand.
Especially since Zi Yan currently lacked the strength to speak for herself.
With no other choice, this matter could only be put aside for now.
With nothing else to do, Lei Qi returned to his room and began cultivating in peace.
The Rainbow Sacred Lotus could provide such tremendous assistance; there was no reason for him not to cherish it.
With the Rainbow Sacred Lotus's enhancement, his cultivation speed rose with a whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. One day was equivalent to ten days of cultivation. One could imagine just how terrifying that rate of improvement was.
It could be said that Lei Qi did not even need the Emperor Altar's baptism to cultivate through his bloodline.
The Emperor Altar was a special cultivation ground possessed by every Dou Di family. As long as one cultivated within it, relying on the Dou Di bloodline, the cultivation speed before reaching Dou Zun could be said to soar.
However, if one raised a Dou Di bloodline without tempering it, it would only look impressive while being useless in practice.
Rather than waste that time, it was better to cultivate in his own residence.
Even Cai Lin and the other girls improved at an astonishing pace.
Though they did not possess Dou Di bloodlines, the Rainbow Sacred Lotus's enhancement made their cultivation speed no worse than that of a Dou Di bloodline.
Time always passed especially quickly during cultivation. As spring passed and autumn came, six months went by.
With all kinds of resources and the Rainbow Sacred Lotus's effects, Lei Qi pushed his cultivation all the way to the nine-star Dou Huang level, nearing the peak.
After Dou Huang, cultivation naturally slowed because the energy requirements became immense. Dou Zong was even more so. In six months, even with the aid of all kinds of heavenly treasures, Cai Lin, as a Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python, had only advanced to the early stage of three-star Dou Zong. As for Zi Yan, she had just broken through to five-star Dou Huang!
Although both were top-tier magical beasts, the energy they required was even more enormous. Greater requirements meant greater consumption, and as magical beasts with physical bodies, they did not suffer from unstable Dou Qi.
Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin's cultivation speed, on the other hand, left even several clan elders shocked by their talent.
They had heard of these constitutions before, but they had never imagined that their cultivation speed could be so swift. More importantly, both the Three-Flowered Green Snake Eyes and the Woeful Poison Body possessed extremely formidable combat power.
Lei Qi often sparred with them as well.
When Little Fairy Doctor, Qing Lin, Cai Lin, and Zi Yan joined forces against him, even he had to concentrate fully to deal with them.
Qing Lin could summon snake-type magical beasts to fight, and even Lei Qi could not take Little Fairy Doctor's poison lightly. Together with Zi Yan and Cai Lin, whose physical strength did not lose to his, Lei Qi often found himself being besieged.
As the girls continuously coordinated through battle, their combat strength rose in a straight line.
Boom!
Screech!!
In an open area on the back mountain of the inner realm.
Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin's two snake-type magical beasts attacked from afar. Lei Qi naturally wanted to close in, but Cai Lin and Zi Yan held him back tightly.
With Cai Lin at three-star Dou Zong and Zi Yan at five-star Dou Huang relying on their powerful bodies, Lei Qi had no way to quickly defeat them in a head-on clash.
Bang!
After exchanging another punch with Cai Lin, Lei Qi retreated into the distance.
"Husband~ Why are you getting worse and worse?" Cai Lin provocatively asked as she watched Lei Qi get knocked back.
She had been provoked plenty of times herself. Now that she saw Lei Qi at a disadvantage, she naturally wanted to needle him.
"Keep talking. I refuse to believe it."
As Lei Qi spoke, black electric currents suddenly appeared beneath his feet.
Thunder God Concealment!
Whoosh.
Crackle, crackle.
After using his movement technique, Lei Qi instantly bypassed Cai Lin and Zi Yan.
For a moment, neither woman managed to react.
The instant they saw Lei Qi charging toward them, the two snake-type magical beasts immediately blocked his path.
Whoosh~~!
A giant snake swung its tail at him.
Crackle, crackle.
Lei Qi merely moved and dodged it again.
The moment he appeared, the other giant snake charged at him.
Palm Lightning!
Lei Qi knew that unless he showed some real skill, he truly would not be able to defeat these women. He immediately unleashed the high-level Earth-class Dou Technique, Palm Lightning.
He soared into the air as a massive black lightning palm descended from the sky!
The enormous palm seal nearly covered the charging Cai Lin and Zi Yan, while also reaching Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin at the edge.
Seeing Lei Qi use a high-level Earth-class Dou Technique, they also went all out.
At present, however, only Cai Lin had mastered a Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python skill comparable to an Earth-class technique.
The other three girls possessed only high-level Profound-class techniques.
Boom!!!
The heavens and earth trembled as the ground split open with countless cracks. The girls were nearly all blasted flat onto the ground.
A few fissures appeared across the earth.
It was already a high-level Earth-class Dou Technique, and Lei Qi's mutated Black Demon Lightning was exceptionally powerful. Even with Cai Lin at the Dou Zong level, they still could not withstand it.
Only after seeing them all numbed on the ground by electricity did Lei Qi return to the ground. "Tsk, tsk. I thought you could hold out for a bit."
"You only won because of your Dou Technique and that terrifying Black Demon Lightning of yours," Cai Lin said unwillingly.
There was also a trace of dissatisfaction in her voice!
She was already pregnant, yet this bastard still did not know how to hold back?
Cai Lin had only learned about this recently.
Naturally, Lei Qi would not truly hurt them. If he could not control the force of that attack, why would he have used it?
The Thunder Clan's inherited Dou Technique, Palm Lightning, was not merely high-level Earth-class. Once one completely mastered Palm Lightning, one could learn the low-level Heaven-class Dou Technique, Five Thunders Orthodox Law.
Lei Qi could already grasp it now, but he was not yet proficient. Moreover, the Dou Qi consumed by a Heaven-class Dou Technique could nearly drain all of his Dou Qi in an instant. Without sufficient strength, Lei Qi could not use it.
"I'm not convinced either!" Zi Yan said angrily after getting to her feet.
"Unfortunately, most of the Thunder Clan's high-level Dou Techniques are lightning-element techniques. Otherwise, I'd arrange some for you," Lei Qi said with a shrug.
Besides, whether it was those two or Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin, they all possessed innate divine abilities. As their strength grew, would they not naturally master more techniques?
"Once I comprehend stronger abilities, it's still uncertain who will win and who will lose." Zi Yan pouted, her cheeks puffed out. Her adorable little appearance made her especially lovable.
