Having borrowed the people, Xiao Yan should naturally return. With the help of the Thirty-Two Spirit Guards of the Ginseng Spirit Clan, the overall strength of Burning Flame Valley in its battle against the two sects will surely increase significantly. Even if the Ghost Hall intervenes, the pressure should be greatly reduced.
This time, the Ginseng Spirit Clan really did Xiao Yan a huge favor!
They arrived alone, but left in a vast army. This scene surprised many people in the city. However, just as Xiao Yan and his group were about to leave the Ancient Wilderness City, a slightly familiar energy fluctuation came from afar, which attracted Xiao Yan's attention.
"That is..."
Sensing the energy fluctuation, Xiao Yan's expression faltered slightly. After a moment of hesitation, he seemed to recall something, his eyes darted around, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"What's wrong? Is something the problem?"
Afterwards, seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Qing Feng couldn't help but ask with a suspicious look, and the group behind him also looked curious.
"Hehe, perhaps our return trip will be delayed even further."
Xiao Yan smiled, and then led the way, flying towards a certain direction outside the Ancient Wilderness City. In a short while, the group arrived in front of a magnificent mountain.
Gazing at the towering, majestic mountain peaks before them, everyone present couldn't help but raise their eyebrows, a hint of surprise in their eyes. Thunderclouds lingered above the peaks, with continuous rumbling thunder, and lightning swirled and flickered around the mountainside, making it seem as if a thunder dragon was coiled upon it.
And on this mountain wall, three large characters, imbued with a subtle sense of power, are carved in a vigorous and flowing style:
Ge Thunder Mountain!
And this mountain peak is the entrance to the Void Lightning Pool of the Ancient Wilderness City!
Xiao Yan had once used the Void Lightning Pool of Ge Thunder Mountain to break through his cultivation, but he never expected to come here again today. The three large characters on the cliff face that contained the pressure of Dou Di were now nothing special in Xiao Yan's eyes. The so-called Dou Di powerhouse had become a thing of the past many years ago. Who would have thought that Xiao Yan, who was once difficult to resist even Half-Emperor powerhouse, had now become such a powerhouse.
The saying "things have changed, but people are no longer the same" is absolutely true here.
Looking up at the mountain peak before him, Xiao Yan smiled brightly, his mind drifting back to past events, especially Gu You. If it weren't for Gu You's protection, Xiao Yan probably wouldn't have survived!
After a long while, when Xiao Yan regained his composure, his gaze returned to the thunderclouds above his head. He wondered how much his cultivation would improve if he were to enter the Void Lightning Pool again now.
Judging from the current situation on Thunder Mountain, the Void Lightning Pool has obviously not been opened. In the past, even if the Lightning Pool was open, Xiao Yan would never have been able to enter it without the Void Lightning Pool Invitation. Of course, that is now in the past. With Xiao Yan's current cultivation level and the assistance of the Great Dao of the Void, entering the Void Lightning Pool is naturally not a problem.
After a brief consultation, the members of the Ginseng Spirit Clan decided not to enter the Void Lightning Pool. They had just emerged from a long period of cultivation and had only left the Ginseng Spirit Realm today. How could they be willing to return to repetitive cultivation without having done anything? Therefore, in the end, only Xiao Yan entered the Lightning Pool.
The latter expressed their understanding but had nothing more to say. Endless cultivation could indeed break a person's spirit. Not to mention them, even Xiao Yan himself probably couldn't bear it. Just imagine, Xiao Yan felt extremely tired even after three years of cultivation, let alone their arduous cultivation of ten or even several decades.
This time, Xiao Yan went straight to the top of Ge Thunder Mountain, looking up at the vast thunderclouds overhead. A fiery light gradually welled up in his eyes. With a thought, the Great Dao of the Void instantly condensed, transforming into a curtain in the space in front of him. Under Xiao Yan's control, a special aura emanated from it. As the Great Dao of the Void slowly twisted within the curtain, a strange vortex appeared. Seeing this, Xiao Yan smiled with satisfaction and was about to step into it when, in the next moment, a sudden change occurred.
"Sizzle!"
With a thunderous roar, a bolt of jet-black lightning suddenly shot out from within the dark tent, rushing towards Xiao Yan like a venomous snake. The power of the lightning on it was extremely terrifying.
The sudden turn of events on the field caused many people below to change their expressions, but Xiao Yan remained calm and composed. When the lightning struck, he not only did not try to defend himself, but instead spun his palm, and a raging fire burst forth from his palm, instantly transforming into a huge vortex of fire that swallowed the power of the lightning into his body. Only then did he slowly lift his foot and stride into it.
Entering the Void Lightning Pool again, Xiao Yan seemed quite familiar with the place. Although it had been many years, his impression of it was still fresh in his mind. With his current cultivation level, he arrived at the core of the Xiao Yan Void Lightning Pool in a short time.
The vast thunderbolts were as numerous as hairs on a cow. As soon as Xiao Yan stopped, countless thunderbolts around him quickly condensed together, turning into a torrent of thunder that rushed towards him, as if to declare its sovereignty. Seeing this, he couldn't help but frown. These individual thunderbolts were not a problem, but if they swarmed at him, even he would not be able to deal with them easily.
Immediately afterward, Xiao Yan flicked his finger, and with a flash of light, the Northern King's figure instantly appeared before him, directly blocking the fierce impact of the lightning power. From Xiao Yan's perspective at this moment, all the lightning bolts rushing towards him seemed to have sunk into a bottomless abyss. The moment they touched the Northern King's body, they were forcibly absorbed into it, and after a slight shimmer on his body, they were all refined by him.
The so-called power of thunder seemed utterly insignificant in the face of the Northern King.
Ignoring the Northern King, Xiao Yan casually found a place to sit cross-legged. After his internal energy gradually stabilized, he switched to the Flame Mantra Technique and began to absorb all the lightning power in the Lightning Pool.
As the Flame Mantra Technique was activated, the lightning power that touched his body was instantly absorbed into his body. After being refined by the Heavenly Flames and circulated through the technique's pathways, it transformed into a pure energy that flowed into the vortex. At the same time, a huge energy vortex slowly formed above Xiao Yan's head, with a fierce suction force spreading out from it, frantically devouring the lightning power in the Lightning Pool. Under this continuous devouring and refining, Xiao Yan's aura gradually rose.
