Xiang Zhili continued, "Once Senior Ganlei Zi had comprehended the Lightning Devouring Bead and stepped into the late stage, his Nascent Soul spiritual body became increasingly attuned to the lightning of heaven and earth, and an innate feeling arose within him. But since even Superior Leiting and the others could not distinguish it, how could Senior Ganlei Zi? He merely felt that unless the lightning power within the Lightning Devouring Bead had always differed from that in the Min Lei Bead, there was another possibility: someone more powerful than a Divine Transformation cultivator had tampered with the Lightning Devouring Bead. Above Divine Transformation were naturally seniors of Void Refinement and Body Integration—how many such people could there be on the entire Xiaoyu Continent? Thus, Senior Ganlei Zi could only keep this matter in his heart and begin arranging countermeasures!"
"Senior Ganlei Zi searched throughout the Thunder Control Sect but could not find suitable disciples. Only then did he think of this disciple, Yingying, and Wu Qing! After Senior Ganlei Zi explained the origins of the matter, he bestowed upon the three of us the sect's jade slips concerning Leiting techniques, as well as fragments of the shattered Min Lei Bead. He ordered the three of us to head deep into the Lei Mo Mountain Range to seek out the three ancestors in seclusion, while entrusting the task of guarding the three formation nodes and observing the grand lightning formation to the other three of us..." Xiang Zhili continued. "Thus, after this disciple returned once to Myriad Thunder Valley, I hurried to find the three seniors. Then, under their guidance, I entered seclusion to cultivate at the three formation nodes..."
When Xiang Zhili finished, Cui Hongshen hurriedly asked, "Has there been any change in the great formation over these hundred years?"
