People in Doupo: The beginning of the game intercepts the rich woman Xun'er

Once he confirmed that he could avoid the attack of the Black Demon Lightning by skillfully activating his natal talisman, Xiao Ling immediately stopped hesitating.

He lightly touched the head of the thunder dragon with his toes, and his figure shot off like an arrow towards the surging black sea of ​​lightning.

At the same time, a natal talisman crackling with brilliant lightning floated in front of his forehead, its thunderous runes faintly visible, emanating an extremely mysterious and powerful aura.

The moment Xiao Ling's figure disappeared into the sea of ​​lightning, under the mysterious power of his natal talisman, the black demon lightning that had once caused the heavens and earth to change color did not show the slightest hostility.

Like a solidified torrent of ink, they continued to roll and roar according to their chaotic instincts, completely unaware of the arrival of this uninvited guest.

Only the faint lightning surrounding Xiao Ling created a barely perceptible protective barrier amidst the dark thunderstorm.

After confirming that the black lightning around him was temporarily stagnant, Xiao Ling's sharp eyes scanned the surging black sea of ​​lightning rapidly. Finally, he found a relatively open gap.

Although the area was still surrounded by dark lightning, a rare space had been created where he could stand. He lightly touched the air with his toes, his figure firmly planted, his clothes fluttering in the raging thunder and gale.

Xiao Ling narrowed his eyes, quietly spreading his senses like a spider web as he cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

Soon, his gaze settled on a winding trail of black lightning not far to his side.

The lightning bolt was pitch black, with fine black patterns flowing across its surface. Each flash seemed to contain a terrifying power capable of tearing space apart.

Xiao Ling took a deep breath, the thought of absorbing the energy already forming in his mind. He knew that only by accurately absorbing the immense energy within this black demonic lightning could he rapidly enhance his spiritual power in a short period of time and attempt to reach a higher realm.

After making up his mind, Xiao Ling's eyes turned cold, and he no longer hesitated.

In an instant, another natal talisman shot out from his Niwan Palace, tearing through the void.

This newly appeared natal talisman is completely different from the previous one, which was filled with dazzling lightning. It is like a deep black hole, with a faint light flowing on its surface and swirling patterns constantly swallowing and spitting out the void.

Wherever it passed, even the surrounding void unconsciously twisted and deformed, emanating a terrifying devouring power.

At this moment, two natal talismans intertwined and swirled before Xiao Ling. One was raging with lightning, radiating a destructive sharpness, while the other was dark and profound, surging with an undercurrent that could devour all things.

Their powers were originally incompatible like ice and fire, but at this moment, under the guidance of Xiao Ling's mental power, they formed a strange resonance.

Lightning and shadow intertwined, seemingly both opposing and merging, creating a strange yet harmonious rhythm.

Even the surging black lightning around them seemed to pause for a moment because of this strange sight.

Xiao Ling pointed two fingers into the air, and the natal talisman, imbued with the power of devouring, shot towards its intended target like an arrow.

The dark talisman, originally only the size of a palm, expanded continuously as it flew, instantly becoming tens of feet in size. The black hole-like vortex spun rapidly, cracking the space in its path, like a wound torn open by an invisible behemoth.

The intense, tangible pressure of devouring spread, even causing the surrounding void to subtly distort.

The moment the dark rune approached the target black lightning bolt, a dazzling black light suddenly burst forth from the center of the vortex, and countless jet-black suction chains shot out, tightly binding the black lightning bolt like greedy tentacles.

Strands of lightning energy were forcibly stripped away and, under the tempering of the devouring power, transformed into pure energy, which flowed continuously into Xiao Ling's Niwan Palace along the chains.

The Black Demon Lightning trembled violently, like an enraged ancient beast. Its serpentine body twisted wildly, and jet-black lightning exploded on its surface, unleashing waves of destructive storms.

Although it had not yet developed intelligence, it instinctively sensed a deadly threat. Driven by violent emotions, it changed direction and charged straight at Xiao Ling with overwhelming force.

The space along its path was distorted and deformed by its impact, and streaks of black electric arcs spread like a spider web, causing the void to shatter inch by inch wherever it passed.

Despite being rushed forward, Xiao Ling showed no sign of panic. He had anticipated this situation and no longer hesitated, simultaneously activating another natal talisman that was waiting nearby.

The talisman responded instantly, releasing a concentrated burst of lightning. Xiao Ling immediately channeled his spiritual power into it, guiding the lightning's force. Then, a beam of azure lightning shot precisely towards the enraged Black Demon Lightning.

However, this beam of light was not intended for attack, but rather to cleverly utilize the power of the thunder laws contained within it, attempting to exert a binding force on the black demonic lightning.

When the azure lightning beam struck the black lightning precisely, the menacing black lightning suddenly froze, as if all its power had been drained away.

Its body convulsed violently in the void, and the arcs of destructive electricity flowing on its surface twisted into bizarre shapes, clearly being suppressed by the binding laws contained within the lightning beams.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling raised an eyebrow; the power of his natal talisman had indeed not disappointed him.

At the same time, the natal talisman, which had transformed into a giant black hole, did not slacken its efforts in the slightest; instead, it unleashed an even more terrifying devouring power.

The dark vortex spun wildly, and countless black chains, like greedy giant pythons, pierced fiercely into the body of Black Demon Lightning.

The immense lightning energy was forcibly stripped away, transforming into strands of pure energy that flowed into Xiao Ling's body.

The once invincible black lightning bolt, under the combined attack of two forces, is dimming at a visible speed.

Despite the deafening commotion and thunderous roars that echoed through the void, Xiao Ling was prepared. With his exquisite mental control, he meticulously contained the aftershocks of the battle to a very small area.

Although the surrounding swarm of black lightning sensed something, given their limited intelligence, they usually wouldn't react unless directly affected. As a result, they didn't notice the hunter lurking in the shadows, giving Xiao Ling a good opportunity to maneuver.

If he were to be careless and disturb the entire sea of ​​lightning, unleashing a swarm of black demonic lightning, even with Xiao Ling's extraordinary abilities, he would inevitably find himself in an extremely difficult situation. With the tacit cooperation of his two natal talismans, the situation gradually became clear.

The once-fierce black lightning bolt, which initially thrashed about wildly, crashing into the cage with its thunderous power, gradually weakened in its struggles, and the black lightning on its surface became increasingly dim.

The devouring power, like a persistent leech, relentlessly eroded its core energy, while the Thunder Law's forceful restriction on the Black Demon Lightning acted like an invisible shackle, firmly locking away its counterattack.

As time passed, Black Thunder's resistance gradually turned into futile tremors.

Finally, under Xiao Ling's relentless attacks, this terrifying being that had once struck fear into the hearts of countless powerful figures completely dissipated into the dark vortex.

The immense energy flowed into Xiao Ling's Niwan Palace like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, following the connection between his natal talisman and Xiao Ling's spirit.

Xiao Ling closed his eyes, feeling his spiritual power surging and growing stronger within his body like a tide.

The exhilarating feeling of energy rapidly replenishing made his eyelashes flutter slightly.

The perfect combination of his natal talisman and the power of devouring was able to temper his spiritual power so efficiently, far exceeding his expectations.

Every bit of lightning energy he absorbed was washing away the barriers of his mental power, laying a solid foundation for breaking through to a higher realm.

This exhilarating cultivation experience made him sigh inwardly, realizing that the Void Thunder Pool was indeed an excellent place for cultivation, and that coming to its depths was a wise decision.

Feeling the amazing effects brought by his natal talisman, Xiao Ling's eyes flickered slightly, and his fingertips unconsciously rubbed his chin.

This natal talisman, formed by the spirit of the ancestral stone imitating parts of the power of the eight ancestral symbols, is already able to thrive in the black demon lightning swarm, absorbing energy with such efficiency.

If it were replaced with a genuine ancestral symbol, that supreme treasure containing the fundamental rules of heaven and earth, how terrifying would it be?
In the current situation, the speed and efficiency of energy absorption will probably increase several times over. With a wave of the hand, one can control the thunder and lightning of a region and turn this entire sea of ​​thunder into an aid to cultivation.

Upon thinking of this, Xiao Ling let out a soft chuckle and murmured to himself:
"The more I learn about it, the more I admire the power of this ancestral symbol... If I have the chance, I really hope to witness its power with my own eyes."

Xiao Ling didn't dwell on the matter, as it was irrelevant to the current situation, and thinking about it further wouldn't help. Right now, absorbing the energy of the Black Demon Lightning and improving his own strength was the top priority.

Xiao Ling regained his composure and focused his gaze on another black demon lightning bolt that was about to strike not far away. Using the same method, he activated his two natal talismans, one to imprison and the other to devour it, and attacked it.

In the days that followed, this churning sea of ​​black lightning became Xiao Ling's secret training ground.

He was like a hunter lurking in the shadows, skillfully using the profound combination of his natal talisman to strike precisely time and time again, devouring all the black demonic lightning bolts.

And so, day after day passed. Under the constant tempering of the violent black demon lightning energy, the spiritual power in Xiao Ling's Niwan Palace became more and more powerful and more and more solid, and it had greatly improved compared with when he first entered this void lightning pool.

Using the same method as before, Xiao Ling silently subdued and devoured a bolt of black demonic lightning. After doing all this, he pondered for a moment, feeling the constantly surging spiritual energy in his Niwan Palace, and a look of joy involuntarily appeared on his face.

At this moment, the spiritual power within him had reached an astonishing level, far exceeding his expectations when he first entered the Void Thunder Pool. Now, relying solely on this immense spiritual power to activate the techniques of a talisman master, he was confident he could rival a four-star Dou Sheng.

If he were to use some special secret techniques and unleash his full power, he might not even be at a disadvantage against a five-star Dou Sheng.

Just as Xiao Ling was secretly imagining the various possibilities after such a surge in strength, a gentle ripple suddenly appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The ethereal voice of the Ancestral Stone Spirit, like a clear spring dripping into a lake of the heart, echoed softly deep within the divine consciousness:
"Xiao Ling, your gains this time are indeed remarkable. However, I still suggest that you take a break and not continue to absorb the lightning energy here to enhance your mental strength."

This sudden telepathic transmission startled Xiao Ling. The spirit of the Ancestral Stone rarely spoke on its own initiative, so this admonition was clearly of great importance, carrying a solemn meaning.

The joy that had just ignited in his heart vanished instantly, his eyes narrowed and turned serious. He hurriedly asked in his mind, "Yan, why? Why can't I continue absorbing it? This black demon lightning seems endless. If I can refine it all, my spiritual power will surely continue to rise. Why do I have to stop?"

The Ancestral Stone Spirit's divine sense rippled, and its tone became increasingly solemn: "It's not that you can't absorb it, but your current spiritual power is unbalanced compared to your own strength."

A clear, ethereal voice echoed in his mind, seemingly carrying profound truths: "The path of cultivation emphasizes the simultaneous advancement of the physical body, spiritual power, and cultivation level. Only by achieving a delicate balance can one establish a solid foundation and avoid future hidden dangers."

"With your talent, reaching the semi-saint realm at such a young age, your physical strength and cultivation level far surpass most people. However, due to your rapid increase in spiritual power, while it has helped your strength surge, it has also disrupted the original balance. If you continue to forcibly absorb more spiritual power, it may damage your origin. In the long run, at best your foundation will be unstable, and at worst you will find it difficult to control yourself."

After hearing the explanation from the spirit of the ancestral stone, Xiao Ling thought about it carefully and also felt that it made a lot of sense.

After all, compared to his rapidly increasing mental strength, his cultivation and physical body are indeed lagging behind.

This is unavoidable, after all, Xiao Ling's talent in mental strength has always been extraordinary, as if there were no bottlenecks. Coupled with many fortuitous encounters, his mental strength far exceeded the strength of his physical body and cultivation.

Xiao Ling's thoughts shifted, and he asked the Ancestral Stone Spirit, "Can I absorb the Black Demon Lightning in this Thunder Pool and use all that energy to improve my cultivation? With the terrifying energy contained in this Black Demon Lightning, if I can devour and refine it, I should be able to quickly improve my cultivation in a short time, right?"

Faced with Xiao Ling's question, the Ancestral Stone Spirit remained silent for a moment before slowly saying:
"While it is true that you can quickly improve your cultivation by absorbing this lightning energy, you have only recently broken through to the semi-saint realm. It would be best to settle down and consolidate your strength first. Moreover, your current cultivation is still shallow. Directly absorbing such pure and violent lightning energy here would be too much of a burden on your body and meridians, and it is not suitable for you."

"My suggestion is that you wait until your cultivation has settled down and your realm has reached a higher level before absorbing the thunder energy here to cultivate. That way, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

After hearing the explanation from the Ancestral Stone Spirit, Xiao Ling felt it made sense and gave up the idea of ​​immediately using this thunder energy to cultivate.

Besides, the thunder energy here won't run away; it's not too late to absorb it after I've settled down for a while.

“Alright, I’ll listen to Yan,” Xiao Ling said. “After that, I’ll take some time to reflect. When the time is right, I’ll come back and make good use of this lightning energy.” (End of Chapter)
