After Lei Ying brought Lei Qi out, he likewise sensed the violent power within Lei Qi's body. Strands of black lightning kept emerging from Lei Qi's body as well.
"Lei Qi, what happened to you?" Lei Ying hurriedly asked.
"I defeated the strongest Puppet inside and obtained this black lightning. But it is far more terrifying than I imagined, and I can't control it." Lei Qi explained his current situation.
After understanding the situation, Lei Ying said nothing and directly poured his powerful Dou Qi into Lei Qi's body.
Very soon, Lei Qi detected that violent power of lightning!!!
Even he was somewhat shaken by it.
Yet it was precisely because of this that he found Lei Qi even more extraordinary.
Lei Ying immediately acted and sealed the rampaging black lightning!
Although the black lightning was terrifyingly powerful, Lei Ying was, after all, a Late Eight-Star Dou Sheng. Sealing it was naturally no difficult task.
Lei Qi, whose entire body had originally been emitting black lightning, finally felt much more comfortable after that power was suppressed by Lei Ying.
About half an hour later, Lei Ying let out a long breath. "Whew."
He had finally relaxed. This lightning power was simply terrifying.
Fortunately, he had finally sealed it.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Lei Ying looked at Lei Qi and said, "I have only temporarily sealed this black lightning. However, I cannot completely control it. If you do not wish to suffer its backlash, you can only become stronger. Only once you become strong enough to master it will it cease to pose any threat to you. Instead, it will make you stronger. I can sense that this black lightning is extraordinary. It is definitely not ordinary Black Demon Lightning!"
In truth, he did not know whether this was a blessing or a curse, much less when Lei Qi would be able to master it.
"However, before you master its power, I will need to suppress it for you once every year," Lei Ying said gravely.
"Damn it!"
Lei Qi felt thoroughly displeased after hearing that!
Although Lei Ying had put it tactfully, how could he not understand? If Lei Ying did not regularly suppress it for him, he would very likely suffer from its backlash.
The thought of having a ticking time bomb inside his body made Lei Qi's scalp tingle!
He had indeed been somewhat reckless this time.
"Not bad, Little Qi. It seems that you have also gained quite a lot during these years inside!" Lei Ying continued.
Lei Qi's cultivation had already reached the Two-Star Dou Emperor level.
A seventeen-year-old Two-Star Dou Emperor!!
This talent was more than enough to confirm that Lei Qi was indeed descended from a Divine Grade Bloodline.
"I did gain quite a lot, but the cultivation methods I obtained were not entirely to my liking." Lei Qi sighed inwardly.
Still, he said calmly, "My luck has been good these past few years, but it was a little too lonely."
"The path of cultivation is like that. There is no helping it," Lei Ying said.
"Patriarch, I wish to travel outside," Lei Qi continued.
"Travel outside?"
Lei Ying paused. Why did he suddenly want to leave?
"If I remain only within the clan, I do not think I can keep growing stronger. So I want to travel the continent and gain experience," Lei Qi said.
"The continent is vast and full of wonders, but it also contains many dangers." Lei Ying hesitated somewhat.
"Only those who can endure all kinds of hardships are better suited to become truly strong," Lei Qi said.
"Then... very well. I will arrange for several people to accompany you. Unless necessary, they will not intervene," Lei Ying said.
Originally, he had intended to arrange it in secret, but after some thought, he decided to tell Lei Qi instead.
"That would naturally be for the best." Lei Qi was no fool. With his current strength, he was nothing remarkable in the entire Central Plains.
Having several bodyguards accompany him would therefore be absolutely ideal.
Seeing Lei Qi agree, Lei Ying no longer tried to dissuade him. An eagle ultimately needed to soar through the skies; trapped in a cage, it truly could not grow.
"Oh, Patriarch, I heard that Elder Mang Tianchi once founded an academy on the continent called Jia Nan Academy?" Lei Qi asked.
"I believe there was such a matter." Lei Ying nodded.
"Then does that academy possess a Heavenly Flame called Fallen Heart Flame?" Lei Qi asked again.
"This old man does not know."
Lei Ying shook his head, then added, "What is it, Little Qi? Are you interested in Heavenly Flames?"
The Thunder Clan were all pure lightning-attribute cultivators. Heavenly Flames were of absolutely no use to them.
"That's right. My attributes are somewhat unusual. Besides lightning, I also possess a fire attribute. So I want that Heavenly Flame," Lei Qi said directly.
This Mutated Black Demon Lightning seemed to possess a special devouring ability, so Lei Qi wanted to try it. If it could devour Heavenly Flames like the Flame Mantra, then cultivating two attributes at once would undoubtedly make him stronger.
"That is naturally not a problem. It is merely that I have sent Elder Mang Tianchi to the Yao Clan to participate in the new Medicine Canon. We will have to wait until he returns," Lei Ying said.
"Have they set off yet?" Lei Qi hurriedly asked.
"They have not yet departed," Lei Ying replied.
"Then I will go with them. As it happens, my fire attribute also contains a wood attribute. Since we are going to the Yao Clan, perhaps I can learn something there and become an alchemist," Lei Qi immediately said.
Lei Ying paused, then nodded. "If that is the case, I will go explain it to Mang Tianchi. Go back and rest first. You will not depart until tomorrow."
"Yes."
After parting from Lei Ying, Lei Qi returned to his residence in the Inner Realm.
Given his current circumstances, he could enter the Inner Realm whenever he wished. The only reason he had not yet become the Young Patriarch was that he had not undergone his Coming-of-Age Ceremony. Once it was completed, that title would naturally be his.
Yet even without that title, the fact that he had already entered the Inner Realm was itself a symbol of status.
When Lei Qi returned to his residence, several maidservants had already prepared everything for him.
These maidservants had clearly been assigned to serve him.
It was just that...
Lei Qi was truly puzzled. Did the Thunder Clan not have any slender young women?
Every one of them was built like a brute. How was he supposed to enjoy that!
He had a system, yet he could not even test it once. That was truly frustrating.
Likewise, Lei Qi had many thoughts about the outside world. Most importantly, he had no idea what point in time this was.
However, it was not convenient for him to ask too many questions. He could only slowly figure things out for himself.
