Similar to the Ancient Sun Emperor and the Ancient Lunar Emperor, the memory image Wang Hao left within the Divine Sense avatar of the Ancient Heavenly Punishment Emperor was a bolt of lightning, or rather, a scene of Heavenly Tribulation.
In the Jiuli Tribe of the Primordial World, when breaking through from the Mortal Realm to the Earth Realm, they all had to undergo the baptism of lightning tribulation. Therefore, in the Primordial World past, one could often see Jiuli Tribe warriors tempering their bodies by facing lightning tribulation.
Correspondingly, those in the Yellow Emperor Tribe who wanted to become immortals also had to undergo the baptism of lightning tribulation.
Although this kind of Heavenly Tribulation is very common in the Primordial Great World and can be considered a common thunder rule, it is still quite remarkable. At least in the low-level martial arts world of the Smiling, Proud Wanderer at the World, it is a very high-level existence.
Therefore, he selected the most magnificent scene of the Heavenly Tribulation from his memory and sealed it into the Divine Sense avatar of the Heavenly Punishment Great Emperor. As long as one's comprehension, opportunity, and inherent qualities are not lacking, one can glean some insights from it.
Even more so if one can visualize it as an object of contemplation, there will be unexpected benefits.
Of course, like the Sun Star and the Taiyin Star, Wang Hao could only Simulation a Sisi of their Divine Charm from memory. Although it possessed some mysterious power, it was not too exaggerated.
The last remaining Innate expert benefited greatly from this.
Wow! I can't believe someone actually succeeded!
Stepping back, Wang Hao stared in astonishment at the gaunt old man with his hair standing on end.
Although he had noticed earlier that the old man's cultivation method was special, with faint flashes of lightning, and that there might be some unexpected gains, he never expected that the other party's gains would be so enormous.
He knew very well that the opponent's technique only had a faint aura of thunder, which was incomparable to the real power of thunder. However, this time, with the help of the Heavenly Tribulation memory images in the Divine Sense clone, coupled with the stimulation of Wang Hao's Innate Thunder Qi, he actually transformed his own power into real thunder power.
Even Wang Hao was surprised by this result.
The powerful figures who had retreated were about to ask questions when they saw the thin old man burst into wild laughter. His entire body transformed into a dazzling bolt of lightning, flashing continuously throughout the vast Heavenly Punishment Divine Temple at an extreme speed.
Even though everyone was at the peak of the Peak Xiantian Grandmaster, they could only barely catch a trace.
To the onlookers, all they saw was a pale purple bolt of lightning flashing incessantly, radiating a savage aura that terrified them.
"Hahaha... My Purple Lightning Divine Art is finally complete, finally complete!"
After a long silence, the gaunt old man couldn't help but burst into wild laughter, his body crackling with purple lightning.
His main skill was the Purple Lightning Divine Art, but that was just self-proclaimed. He had no chance of actually generating real lightning and was always stuck at the last step. Unexpectedly, the opportunity presented by the Heavenly Punishment Great Emperor allowed him to overcome the final hurdle and make the Purple Lightning Divine Art a true divine skill.
Now that his divine skill had reached its peak, and he had even unleashed the power of thunder, his strength had increased more than threefold. In terms of individual strength alone, he was confident that he could fight the Eighth Patriarch of Confucian School, who was wielding an ancient sword, one-on-one.
"Old ghost Zi Sheng, did you really obtain the ancient scripture inheritance of the Heavenly Punishment Great Emperor?"
One of the powerful figures who was on good terms with the gaunt old man Zi Sheng, couldn't help but ask out of curiosity. The others also turned their gazes toward him, their eyes filled with fervent interest.
They hadn't been very skeptical of the ancient emperor's legacy before, but now there was a successful example. How could they not be excited?
Although Zi Sheng did not break through to the Celestial Person Realm, his strength increased dramatically, which was a truly great opportunity.
"I don't know if it's an ancient scripture passed down from an ancient emperor. At the time, I only saw a cloud of thunder and a bolt of lightning strike down, and then I vaguely gained some insight."
Unable to withstand the intense gazes of the crowd, Zi Sheng could only briefly recount his experiences.
"I too vaguely saw a thundercloud!"
"What Li saw was a bolt of Inazuma!"
"What I saw was also a flash of Inazuma!"
The last three powerful figures to be exposed also spoke up, recounting what they had seen and heard, but none of their accounts were clear, and none of what they saw was as complete as Zi Sheng described.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention back to Wang Hao. This seemed quite different from what they had imagined the ancient scripture to be; there wasn't a single word, only strange images.
At most, those images might contain some special mysteries, but they are still far from the ancient scriptures!
"What do you think the ancient emperor's scriptures are? They are a kind of Dao that can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words. Whether you can comprehend them depends entirely on your own enlightenment and opportunity. Besides, writing did not yet take shape in ancient times, so how could it have been written into a secret manual for you to see?"
Rolling his eyes in annoyance, Wang Hao ignored the old guys and turned to walk out of the temple.
The show-off has been done, there's no point in staying any longer, it's time to wrap things up!
"Young friend Ximen, please wait. Would you allow us to experience the legacy of the Ancient Emperor's Scripture once more?"
The powerful figures refused to accept this and quickly surrounded the group, shamelessly expressing their desire to try again. How could they miss such a great opportunity?
"I'm not interested. Besides, do you really think such secret techniques can be used at will? I gave you the opportunity, but you didn't cherish it. Who can you blame?"
Without even glancing at those people, Wang Hao strode straight out of the Heavenly Punishment Divine Temple.
Although his words might seem like a lie, he really did expend a lot of energy this time. He used up most of his Innate Divine Sense and Innate Thunder Qi, so there was no way he could do it again.
Furthermore, even at his peak, with his current strength, it would be impossible for him to pass on the so-called ancient scripture inheritance to dozens of people at the same time, let alone do it again.
Although it was regrettable, the powerful figures did not insist any further, because they could see that Wang Hao's aura was now much weaker, indicating that he had obviously suffered a significant loss.
It's truly infuriating that they missed such a great opportunity due to their previous caution!
Left with no other choice, the group surrounded Zi Sheng and the other three who had persevered to the end, asking them about the mystery behind it all.
Wang Hao was unaware of the thoughts of the people inside the Heavenly Punishment Divine Temple. After leaving the Heavenly Punishment Divine Temple, he wandered around the nine temples on the mountaintops, checking for any omissions or deficiencies.
Although he had made arrangements based on the terrain as much as possible, there were bound to be some shortcomings and flaws. Most importantly, he simply couldn't find the necessary materials for setting up the formation in this low-level martial arts world, so the effect he could achieve was naturally minimal.
However weak it may be, he will do his best to perfect it, which will greatly benefit both himself and the world.
If the plan succeeds, the temples of these ten ancient emperors will become the foundation for gathering the Power of Faith for him, which will be of Mo Da benefit to him.
Another point is that any powerful person who comes to cultivate and comprehend the so-called ancient emperor's ancient scripture inheritance will have their corresponding insights continuously integrated into the Divine Sense clone within the ancient emperor's statue when they receive the inherited memory images.
This is equivalent to having countless martial arts masters helping him cultivate and comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth, so that in the end he only needs to come and receive them, saving him countless hours of hard work.
Finally, there's the benefit to the entire world. If the system task can be completed, the Heavenly Mandate of this world can be broken, allowing the World Advancement and giving birth to the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. This would transform the Taiji Eight Trigrams Grand Formation set up by the nine temples into a real one, possessing incredible power and becoming a major cultivation holy land in this world.
However, that's a matter for the future. By then, if he truly succeeds, he will have already returned to the Primordial Great World, and it will be impossible for him to see this.
He walked around again, noting down all the shortcomings he saw, and then instructed the martial arts practitioners to make corrections.
After all, they're free labor, so why not use them?
Having settled these matters, the peerless experts returned from the Heavenly Punishment Divine Temple, agreeing to Wang Hao's conditions and dispatching their subordinates to quickly retrieve the treasures Wang Hao needed.
Wang Hao was not idle either. Using the many precious medicinal materials provided by Shaomu Temple, he spent two days refining more than a dozen precious pills.
Although this is merely a deduction, it makes it clear that the transformation of the Solar Physique is extremely difficult and consumes unimaginable amounts of energy.
In terms of overcoming the difficulty, he could only rely on Dongfang Bai herself. Wang Hao couldn't provide any assistance in that regard, but energy replenishment was not a problem. For this, he even sacrificed more than a dozen precious medicinal herbs that were thousands of years old.
Fortunately, they had extorted a large sum of money from the Confucian School and Shaomu Temple last time, otherwise they really wouldn't have been able to come up with these precious medicinal herbs.
Of course, these medicinal herbs were all harvested, completely lost their activity, and could no longer be cultivated.
With everything prepared, it was noon on the third day in the blink of an eye.
The weather was perfect; the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. Although it was already the dead of winter, it still gave people a warm feeling.
"If it doesn't work this time, there's always next time. Don't force it!"
Standing outside the Yin-Yang Divine Temple, Wang Hao handed over the refined pills and gave them his final, solemn instructions.
Despite Xiao Mengmeng's assurance, he was still quite worried. If this girl really died, he would be in big trouble.
"Brother Ximen, please rest assured, we will Bubai succeed!"
Dongfang Bai replied Haki, took the bottle of pills, and stepped into the Yin-Yang Divine Temple. Then, with the help of a mechanism, the heavy stone door closed tightly.
Well, all my words were wasted!
Seeing the resolute look in Dongfang Bai's eyes, Wang Hao knew his warning had been in vain.
This girl has already fallen into the abyss of hatred, and the burden she carries is unimaginable to ordinary people. So even if she dies this time, she will persevere to the very end.
With a sigh, Wang Hao glanced at the azure sky, then decisively turned and retreated rapidly, only stopping when he reached the foot of the mountain.
"Young friend, do we need to be so cautious?"
A Confucian School elder standing at the foot of the mountain couldn't help but wonder, "In their view, even if there is danger, they only need to leave the temple. Retreating all the way to the foot of the mountain is too much."
Furthermore, how could they possibly comprehend the ancient scriptures of the ancient emperors that might be in the present world from such a vast distance?
"Even I, with my Divine King Physique, dare not go up there. If you want to die, I have no objection!"
With a chilling smile, Wang Hao gestured for the other party to head up the mountain now.
"Ahem... I was just saying it offhand, just saying it offhand!"
With an awkward cough, the Confucian School elder took a step back, and the others also abandoned some of their ulterior motives.
Wang Hao sneered as his gaze swept over everyone, then looked at the Yin-Yang Divine Temple on the mountaintop. Finally, feeling it wasn't safe enough, he retreated several hundred feet until he stopped beside a well at the entrance of a small village.
This scene startled all the martial arts practitioners, who dared not delay and quickly retreated into the small village, crowding the not-so-small village to the brim.
Although they were unaware of the dangers involved, seeing how cautious Ximen Chuixue was, they naturally dared not take the risk.
It's always better to be extra careful at this time!
" Xiao Mengmeng, is this distance enough?"
Ignoring the martial arts figures, Wang Hao silently asked himself.
The reason he retreated so far was because he was afraid that when the consciousness of heaven and earth descended, it would discover the abnormality on him, which would be disastrous.
"It should be about right for this world's level, but be prepared. If anything goes wrong, jump into the well and seal the opening as well."
The System Space's Xiao Mengmeng estimated it and offered a suggestion.
They are currently in an unregistered state, concealed by Dongfang Bai's heavy Cause and Effect. This is not a problem under normal circumstances, but once they step into the sight of the world's consciousness, they will surely be seen through.
Therefore, it's best to retreat as quickly as possible in such situations.
Leaving aside Wang Hao's actions, on the other side, inside the Yin-Yang Divine Temple, Dongfang Bai adjusted himself to his peak condition and decisively began to mobilize the Innate Extreme Yang Qi within his body, circulating the Solar Shaping Method.
