Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 877 Taking office as the Lord of the Palace
Ningfa nodded and flew forward with Wuxin Jushi.

Soon the two arrived at Kongming Island and flew straight up the giant mountain.

Along the way, Ningfa also glanced briefly at the city that was being built around the giant mountain.

The main force building the city consisted of numerous black giant ape puppets, most of which were second-tier puppets, and Ning Fa even saw several third-tier puppets.

It has to be said that building a city with third-tier golems is quite extravagant.

In addition, the main materials used to build the city also included many spirit ores of the second rank or higher, which made Ning Fa nod in approval.

Although the Fuling Palace suffered heavy damage, it still possesses a very profound foundation.

Soon the two arrived at the mountaintop, where they saw fierce winds and countless rays of light. The spiritual energy here was so dense that it was almost liquefied, and the concentration of the spiritual veins had reached the fourth-grade upper level.

On the mountaintop stood a majestic and solemn palace, with three large, thunderous characters on the plaque at the entrance: "Fuling Palace".

Beside it was a huge square that stretched for several miles.

At this moment, a tiered platform has been erected in the square, and hundreds of cultivators are sitting on it in turn.

Among them, there are approximately three hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators, sixty Core Formation cultivators, and six Nascent Soul cultivators.

Clearly, these people were all disciples of the Fuling Hall, and far from all of them.

Just now, Master Wuxin told Ningfa that there are about fifty Core Formation disciples and several hundred Foundation Establishment disciples who are either far away or busy with relocation and cannot come.

However, at this moment, the remaining six Nascent Soul elders of the Fuling Hall arrived.

Among the hundreds of people present, even those at the Core Formation and Nascent Soul stages, all wore solemn expressions, some even revealing unease.

After all, everyone now knows about the great calamity that Fuling Palace suffered at Yaori Peak. Moreover, of the three palace masters, two have perished and one has surrendered, leaving the palace leaderless and causing them to feel uneasy.

At this moment, everyone noticed the arrival of Ning Fa and Layman Wuxin, and hundreds of eyes immediately turned to look at them.

The Foundation Establishment and Core Formation disciples all looked bewildered. They didn't recognize either Wuxin Jushi, who was hiding his true face at the moment, or Ning Fa.

However, the expressions of those Nascent Soul elders changed.

The beautiful and aloof Murong Zhaoxue, dressed in a blue palace gown, was initially puzzled when she saw Ning Fasui and Wuxin Jushi arrive. However, she quickly realized what was happening and her eyes flashed with ecstatic joy.

At this moment, how could she not know that the Heart Palace Master who had suddenly appeared and led the remaining members of the Fuling Palace to rebuild the mountain gate, the new Palace Master of the Fuling Palace she had mentioned, was actually Ning Fa!

How could this not make her, who had a close relationship with Ningfa, ecstatic!
Gu Huai and Liang Jun, who were also elders of the Punishment Hall, were shocked, but then they realized what was happening.

After all, they had witnessed Ning Fa's formidable strength firsthand at Yao Ri Peak, so they felt that this outcome was entirely justified.

The other three Nascent Soul elders included a young woman in a blue dress with an ordinary face, who was the female cultivator surnamed Feng who had escaped after her Nascent Soul left her body.

At this moment, she had clearly possessed a new physical body, and her cultivation level had stabilized at the Nascent Soul stage.

The other two were a round, fat man in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm with a worried expression.

There was also a tall, dark-faced middle-aged man wearing heavy armor and a wolf-head helmet, with a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation level.

This person exuded an extremely strong aura of malevolence and emanated powerful blood energy. He was clearly a lightning cultivator who practiced both physical and magical cultivation. Moreover, the spiritual pressure he emitted was the strongest among the six Nascent Soul cultivators.

Of these three, besides the female cultivator surnamed Feng who is also an elder of the Punishment Hall, the other two are elders of the Netherworld Hall.

Although a look of surprise flashed across the eyes of the three, they were not overly astonished.

After all, they had learned of Ning Fa's formidable strength as the new Thunder Prince of the Punishment Hall from Gu Huai and others.

The obese Nascent Soul cultivator glanced at the dark-faced man, a hint of regret flashing in his narrowed eyes.

The dark-faced man's thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he quickly regained his calm and composed demeanor.

The changes in everyone's expressions were naturally observed by Ning Fa's powerful divine sense.

But he didn't care at all, and at the instruction of the hermit Wuxin, he flew towards the highest point of the stepped platform.

The huge square fell silent instantly, with only the whistling wind breaking the silence.

Many Foundation Establishment and Core Formation disciples watched silently as the two flew onto the high platform, their expressions all shaken, clearly understanding the situation now.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two flew to the highest point, where Wuxin Jushi looked at everyone and said loudly in a voice that had become old:
"Fellow clansmen, I, in my capacity as the Lord of the Heart Palace, now proclaim the dying wish of the previous Lord, True Monarch Tianxu!"

As he spoke, he flipped his right hand, and a peculiar gray feather appeared in the air amidst a radiant glow.

Under the incantation of Master Wuxin, the feather flashed with light, and a deep voice came from it:

"I know that my time is coming and I cannot avoid it."

Lei Ziningfa of the Punishment Hall is hereby appointed as the new Lord of the Fuling Hall. You all must assist him wholeheartedly to restore the Fuling Hall to its former glory!

This short sentence is like a boulder thrown into a lake.

Although the cultivators of the Fuling Hall had already guessed it, hearing the last words of True Lord Tianxu still shocked them, and some disciples even covered their faces and wept. These people were all fervent admirers of True Lord Tianxu, and they still couldn't believe the news of his death. Now, hearing his last words, their hopes were naturally shattered, and they found it hard to accept.

Many more remained silent, and quite a few looked confused.

Because Ning Fa had only been in the Fuling Hall for a short time, there hadn't even been a chance to publicize his becoming the Thunder Child of the Punishment Hall.

Now that he has suddenly become the Palace Master of the Fuling Palace, especially since they see Ning Fa as merely a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages, their already anxious state of mind has become even more uneasy.

At this moment, Master Wuxin grabbed with his right hand, and a special dark blue scepter slowly appeared in his hand.

At the top of the scepter is an inlaid dragon head that appears to have been forcibly shrunk, with wisps of blue lightning emanating from its mouth, giving the scepter an extraordinary aura of power.

Wuxin Jushi then faced Ningfa and raised the scepter with both hands.

Upon seeing this, Ning Fa couldn't help but reveal a hint of emotion in his eyes.

Once he received the Thunder King's Scepter, he truly became the Lord of the Fuling Palace.

Back when he first heard the name Fuling Palace, he was just a lowly Foundation Establishment cultivator. This mysterious force from another cultivation world was extremely powerful in his mind.

I never imagined that fate would play such a cruel trick on me, and now I have become the master of the Fuling Palace.

He suppressed his turbulent emotions and calmly accepted the scepter.

Upon seeing this, Master Wuxin immediately turned to the crowd and announced loudly, "The handover of the Thunder King's Scepter is complete. Ning Fa is now the new Palace Master of the Fuling Palace!"

The crowd fell silent for a moment, then burst into a loud shout: "Greetings, Palace Master!"

However, the voices were uneven and even sounded weak and listless.

Ning Fa remained unfazed by the sight, even managing a slight smile.

Then, silver lightning surged from his body, and he slowly flew into the sky.

Ning Fa's inexplicable actions left everyone puzzled.

Murong Zhaoxue and Wuxin Jushi were the first to react, and smiles appeared on their faces, with anticipation in their eyes.

As Ning Fa flew upwards, dazzling silver lightning began to erupt from his body.

A powerful spiritual pressure gradually emanated from him, and this pressure surged forward, as if a terrifying beast was awakening from its slumber.

Those low-level disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage even felt as if a giant mountain was pressing down on their heads, making it hard for them to breathe.

Even those Core Formation cultivators turned pale, their hearts pounding with fear, and an overwhelming sense of dread gripped their hearts.

The spiritual pressure emanating from Ningfa continued to rise relentlessly.

Even the Nascent Soul elders paled in shock, their eyes filled with horror.

Even the burly, dark-faced man who had remained calm throughout could no longer help but show a look of shock in his fierce eyes.

At this moment, the silver lightning surrounding Ning Fa's body was already dazzlingly bright.

Immediately afterward, a thunderous roar that seemed to pierce the sky resounded, and in the blinding light, a thunder giant, a hundred feet tall and seemingly standing upright, suddenly appeared.

He was dressed in a purple-gold thunder robe, wore a mysterious thunder crown, and was covered in ancient thunder armor with mysterious thunder patterns flowing across its surface. Strong bolts of lightning swirled around him like dragons.

At this moment, the Thunder Giant seemed to be a god born from thunder.

As soon as the thunder giant appeared, a "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound rang out.

Many Foundation Establishment disciples could no longer withstand the immense pressure and all turned pale as they unleashed various defensive measures.

Some of those with weaker cultivation levels were forced to kneel on the ground, their bodies drenched in sweat.

Although the Core Formation cultivators were in a better position, they were all surrounded by various colored spiritual light shields, as if facing a formidable enemy. Their expressions were extremely horrified, and some even couldn't help but feel a sense of worship.

Because among the many disciples of the Fuling Hall present, at least 30% to 40% were lightning cultivators.

Therefore, after Ning Fa released his spiritual pressure with all his might, these lightning cultivators felt it particularly strongly, even feeling as if they were seeing a king.

Of the Nascent Soul elders, only Murong Zhaoxue's eyes were filled with excitement and fanaticism; the others all looked horrified.

The dark-faced man also suddenly stood up, looking shocked, his hands clenched so tightly that the veins were bulging.

At that moment, a thunderous shout rang out, and the thunder giant stretched out his right hand and pressed it down sharply.

A sound like thunder and lightning suddenly rang out and quickly spread into the distance.

Suddenly, thunderclouds gathered in the sky above the sea several miles away. As they surged wildly, they transformed into a giant, lightning-filled hand that slammed down onto the sea below.

With a deafening roar, the once calm sea was suddenly engulfed in turmoil, and a giant wave, hundreds of feet high, surged forward.
