Balance Restored, Shi Jian Plans His Trump Card!
The Myriad Demon Domain, Purple Firmament Peak.
The sea of clouds at the summit remained the same, but compared to the past, the churning clouds carried an indescribable weight.
The ley lines of the two regions, Huang Province and Transformation Province, were forcibly pulled, and the energy of the Myriad Demon Domain also experienced an unprecedented surge.
Shi Jian sat cross-legged on the edge of Lei Chi.
He closed his eyes tightly, and the purple-gold lightning around him became more restrained, no longer as violent as it had been on the battlefield before, but instead exuding a sense of returning to simplicity.
After a chaotic battle, the situation on the Profound Spirit Continent was completely reshuffled.
The Grand Purity Sect lost two Nascent Soul Nascent Soul, the Supreme Purity Sect closed its doors, the Flood Dragon Domain remained inactive, and the One Qi Dao Gate retreated to the Devil Province.
The situation has finally reached the "equilibrium" that Shi Jian had anticipated.
As long as he doesn't actively disrupt this balance, the Profound Spirit Continent will not experience another war of annihilation, at least a hundred years, or at most three to five hundred years.
He had enough time to focus on refining his skills.
"Call..."
Shi Jian exhaled a breath of turbid air, the airflow mixed with tiny purple sparks of electricity, piercing through the three-foot-wide void in front of him.
He looked inward at himself.
Deep within his Dantian, the Nascent Soul bear resembled a miniature star, continuously absorbing the thunderous energy of heaven and earth. Lightning swirled around the bear, controlling it.
A streak of purple-gold lightning, like a serpent, coiled around the bear cub's paw.
That's Lightning Spirit, Purple Firmament.
Since Shi Jian was a child, Purple Firmament has been living inside his body; the two, one human and one spirit, have complemented each other and come to this day.
Over the years, Purple Firmament has given him a lot of help.
They provided him with the High Antiquity Demon Race's Secret Method to cleanse his bloodline, and also taught him many secret techniques of Dao of Lightning to assist him in Core Formation, and even to possess others to provide combat power during battles.
Over the years, Shi Jian has never forgotten him.
But now, Zi Jian has stepped into the eighth level of the Shapeshifting Demon King realm, and his Immortal Foundation [Purple Pivot Lightning] has been established, while Purple Firmament's Dao of Lightning Origin is gradually falling behind his pace.
Even in the previous Nascent Soul battle, Purple Firmament could hardly play a supporting role; forcibly activating it would only damage its essence.
"Old buddy."
Shi Jian transmitted his Divine Sense, and the sound echoed in his Dantian.
The phantom of the lightning serpent trembled slightly, opened its emotionless lightning eyes, and then emitted a still-violent thought.
"Silly Bear, have you finally made up your mind?"
"Actually, I knew this day would come even without you saying it."
"Now that your Thunder Method is complete, my presence within your body not only offers no help, but will also lead to my assimilation by this Immortal Foundation [Purple Pivot Lightning]."
"To be reduced to what you call Dao Pill, I understand what you mean."
A hint of loneliness lingered in Purple Firmament's thoughts.
He was originally a spirit of Dao of Lightning born from heaven and earth, and he parasitized Shi Jian in order to absorb nutrients to restore his foundation; now, although his foundation has been restored to about 70-80%, Shi Jian's growth rate has far exceeded his expectations.
Perhaps, after accompanying each other all this way, it's time to part ways.
"I know."
Shi Jian opened his eyes and looked intently at the churning thunder pool in front of him.
"We've been together for many years, and I owe a great deal to you for who I am today. Although I, Shi Jian, am a demon, I am not one to abandon someone after they've served their purpose."
"What do you want?" Purple Firmament asked.
"You can no longer stay inside me, otherwise your spirituality will be completely assimilated and devoured by the Immortal Foundation. I must remove you."
Shi Jian spoke calmly, for fortunately, he had already cultivated to the Nascent Soul.
Separating the Lightning Spirit from his body is not difficult for him now; it just takes a little time and is insignificant.
After we're separated, will you let me go?
"I won't let go."
Shi Jian grinned. "Old buddy, the outside world is too dangerous. With your limited resources, you'd be a top-grade material for someone else to refine Law Treasure."
"So what do you plan to do?"
Purple Firmament knew Shi Jian's temperament; if the other party truly separated him from Shi Jian, he was determined not to let him go.
Shi Jian raised his hand and pointed to Purple Firmament Peak at his feet, as well as the three secondary peaks of Frenzied Thunder, Rumbling Thunder, and Violent Thunder, which were arranged in a triangular formation in the distance.
"These four peaks, Purple Firmament Peak, are the core of my Myriad Demon Domain's earth veins. I intend to use these four peaks as the foundation to reshape your golden body."
"I want you to be the Lord of Dao of Lightning in this land!"
Purple Firmament fell silent.
"I will transform this place into a superior-grade Thunder Path blessed land, drawing upon the newly formed earth veins of the Desolate and Transformed Continents, and infusing them with the essence of the Myriad Demon Mountains."
"If you can rule over this Blessed Land, within a hundred years, your intelligence and essence will surpass your peak."
"Not only will you not perish, but you can also use the power of the earth's ley lines to advance even further."
"As a Thunder Spirit of Heaven and Earth, Zixiao, don't you want to advance further? I think there is no other blessed land on the entire Xuanling Continent that can compare to Zixiao Peak!"
Upon hearing this, Purple Firmament hesitated; it was a condition he couldn't refuse.
The spirit of heaven and earth is most lacking in a solid foundation.
If he could control a top-grade Blessed Land, his foundation would increase dramatically, and with the help of that land, he might actually be able to unleash the power of Nascent Soul!
Even without relying on the Shi Jian relationship with the stone, it's not impossible for them to extend their lifespan by several thousand more years by relying on this world.
"Then what do you need me to do?"
"It's very simple."
A glint of madness flashed in Shi Jian's eyes. "Once this Blessed Land is completed, it will become a massive repository of Dao of Lightning."
"On ordinary days, you are responsible for suppressing the earth's veins and regulating the lightning energy. This will assist our clan's descendants in their cultivation and, with the help of this place's unique conditions, will encourage the birth of new Lightning Spirit, thereby strengthening our clan."
"But when I need it..."
"I want you to bestow upon me all the accumulated wealth of this Blessed Land over hundreds and thousands of years, through the connection between us!"
"I will practice a massive Dao of Lightning- based Secret Method on this Purple Firmament Peak. Once unleashed, I will be able to transform the surrounding thousands of miles into a thunderous inferno!"
Hearing this, Purple Firmament understood.
Shi Jian is turning the entire Purple Firmament Peak into a desperate trump card. And he is the control hub of this trump card.
Just like before, Shi Jian borrowed a massive amount of Dao of Lightning power from Zixia Peak, using it to enhance his body and transform it into a thousand-foot-tall Dharma form.
After integrating with it, one will be able to draw upon the power of heaven and earth with greater ease.
Moreover, the resulting killing move will be of a world-destroying level; he is truly a madman. He intends to treat the entire world as a bomb that will destroy everything in its path. If he doesn't use it, he won't use it at all; but if he does, he will live as long as heaven and earth!
