Cold Gate, Thunder Pivot.
Thirty-six bolts of lightning that spanned heaven and earth wheeled overhead, expounding the myriad aspects of shock thunder. They descended one after another in an endless cycle, making the once-depleted thunder marsh well up anew.
The number of Thunder-Shock was thirty-six, corresponding to heavenly gang.
The darkness within Cold Gate was driven away. Fierce lightning raced across the sky, then vanished in an instant, followed by countless peals of thunder. Xu Xuan walked out of Thunder Pivot step by step, arriving before Duke Kui Dragon and Luo An.
"No place under heaven surpasses this one in shock thunder. Cultivating here, Fellow Daoist Mingdu should be able to attain [Self-Reflection] in one stroke."
Duke Kui Dragon's gaze shifted slightly as he continued:
"[Self-Reflection] is the intent divine ability of shock thunder, the path of [Sacrificing to Heaven and Reflecting on Oneself, Enlarging Nature and Life]. In the Ancient Era, Heavenly Lightning Dragon Lord offered a great discourse on Thunder Void, saying that Thunder-Shock governed sound and qi, with neither good nor ill fortune inherent in it. Thus, the heaven to which [Self-Reflection] offers sacrifice is a conceptual heaven."
"Mountains and plains make up the earth; thunder, wind, and clouds make up the high heavens. Together, they form the deity of heaven and earth, without shape or substance, without name or sound." "The Primordial Dao?"
Merely hearing this account made Xu Xuan think of the ghost gods worshipped by Calamity Blessing-the Primordial Dao.
"Indeed."
Kui Dragon's tone grew slightly grave as he said:
"In the Ancient Era, sacrifices to earth belonged to 'wu earth' and 'ji earth,' while sacrifices to heaven belonged to 'shock thunder' and 'origin wood.' Supreme above all, overseeing the entirety of the divine dao, was 'Greater Yang.'"
Xu Xuan had heard of this before.
