The road is vague

Chapter 205 "Lei Wu's Secret Scroll"

Half an hour later.

After a deep exchange, Li Mo and Yin Miao both gained something and said goodbye with satisfaction.

Li Mo finally gained a relatively in-depth understanding of the Misty Clan.

The current Misty Clan can be divided into two parts.

A group led by the Golden Lion Clan, the Nine Fox Clan, and the Peacock Clan inhabits the Eastern Ridge, east of the Death Storm, also known as the Wasteland. In addition to the Hundred Misty Clans, some clans also have merchants and artisans from the Central Plains who reside and operate within their territory.

The other group, led by the Blood Dragon Clan, inhabits the so-called Lost Land, also known as the Lost Continent, which faces the Wasteland across the sea. Many monsters from the dark and turbulent era still remain there, and they have established numerous primitive sects that are allied with the Blood Dragon Clan.

Besides.

There are also many internal conflicts among the various races, such as the racial conflict between the Nine Fox Clan and the Peacock Clan, the Nine-Tailed Hidden Organization within the Nine Fox Clan, and the Tiger King Clan's rise to power, which led to the establishment of the King of Beasts lineage and its alliance with the Grassland King lineage and the Nine-Tailed Organization that emerged within the Golden Lion Clan.

These emerging forces are gradually uniting, seemingly poised to rewrite a new chapter in the ethereal world of the demon race and the mountains and seas.

"The beginning of a cholera epidemic originated from the Xi and Nian of the Jiaolong clan?"

According to Yinmiao.

These two ancient demons initiated the Daoist lineage of the Myriad Scales in the Misty Realm, enabling all scaled demon races to transform into dragons.

However, since the great calamity of antiquity, apart from the Blood Dragon clan, all the other dragons have become madmen and lunatics, each one fierce and irritable, making them difficult to communicate with.

The once glorious lineage of the Daoist tradition is now long gone.

However, after entering the Dharma-ending Age, seemingly influenced by the order of the world in the Mountain and Sea Realm, the lineage of the Ten Thousand Scaled Demons actually revived, and gradually some of the Scaled Demons began to transform into dragons, while retaining their wisdom.

"The Misty Box is actually a treasure of the ancient Misty Nine-Tailed Fox."

Even after learning of this coded message, Li Mo is still unable to calm down.

He was quite dependent on the ethereal box.

In recent years, during his exploration of talismanic arts, he had a vague feeling that he was missing something in the moment when his essence, energy, and spirit gathered into a single point.

Until recently, he suddenly had an epiphany.

That is the essence and spirit of one's other half, which has merged with the ethereal dream!
In other words.

He must find a way to combine the ethereal dreamscape with the reality of mountains and seas into a single point before he can truly begin refining talismans.

"It seems that I must make a trip to Dongling sometime in the future."

After muttering to himself, Li Mo stopped thinking wildly.

He had not forgotten his purpose for coming here: to see if he could find any clues about the mountain-protecting formation. He guessed that Lu Qi had entrusted him with this mission in a time of crisis for this very reason.

Next.

He and Yinmiao stayed there, not disturbing each other, searching for the information they needed.

Until three days later.

Li Mo finally found what interested him: a map showing the distribution of the spiritual veins of Qingming Mountain.

Although he didn't find any clues about the mountain-protecting formation, as a rune array master, he still had a basic understanding of mountain-protecting formations. Combined with this spiritual vein diagram, he was able to analyze many useful clues.

"The Pure Spirit Divine Tree should be here, this is where the Pure Spirit Main Hall is located, this is the Dharma Protector Hall, this is the Ancestral Master Hall, and this should be the Azure Dragon Pool..."

After a long time.

After thoroughly memorizing the distribution map of the spiritual veins, Li Mo left the Scripture Repository with a thoughtful expression.

The next few days.

Every day, Li Mo would go to Wei Cang to learn the Hidden Thunder Step and the Filthy Yin Thunder, and to ask him for insights into Yin-attribute thunder techniques.

Until this day.

As a military formation instructor, Li Mo began his first guidance on troop deployment.

Following the work task process, he first went to the Dharma Protector Hall, received a formation diagram, and after a brief exchange with Wang Xiyue, Master Xiang, Kang Jinzhong, and Lü Jin, he was assigned to four small teams, totaling about two hundred people, and was responsible for having them master the Spirit-Severing Barrier within the next year.

“Three teams belonging to the Ding category and one team belonging to the Ren category.”

Li Mo first inspected the four teams, and as a result, apart from Wang Ping's team, he actually saw two familiar faces.

One of them was Ye Fuhu, the deputy captain of the Ding squad.

He was tall and imposing, standing alongside a female disciple who had joined the army. They stood proudly at the front of their squad of over fifty men, their expressions confident and arrogant, following orders as they awaited the inspection of the military instructor.

At this time.

Li Mo walked past him with a scrutinizing attitude.

Ye Fuhu's expression froze on the spot, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. After a brief eye contact with Li Mo, he looked incredulously at his senior brother, whom he hadn't seen for many years, as he walked past his team.

"Greetings, Instructor Li!"

This seventh squad of the Ding clan, with dozens of members shouting in unison, displayed impressive momentum.

"No need to be polite."

After a brief exchange of glances with Ye Fuhu, Li Mo responded calmly and continued walking forward.

Two more teams awaited his inspection, and he could see the shock in their eyes.

However, his ten years of high-ranking and powerful life experience in the outer sect gave Li Mo enough experience and understanding. He was not complacent or satisfied with this, and serving as a military instructor was not his pursuit.

"In the end, cultivation is all about realm and strength."

He murmured to himself, reminding himself of the danger.

Another acquaintance was Song Xiang from the Ren squad.

To be precise, it should be Song Xiang and Jiang Min, a husband and wife team, who served as the squad leader and enlisted officer of the fourth squad of the Ren branch, respectively.

Song Xiang and Jiang Min looked at Li Mo with equally shocked eyes, and Li Mo was equally shocked.

"They actually put the husband and wife in the same squad?"

"Greetings, Instructor Li!" "No need for formalities..."

After inspecting the four squads, Li Mo was quite satisfied with the momentum they displayed.

"You are all elite disciples of the Spirit Eye Sect. Your primary task should be to improve your cultivation level. However, improving cultivation is not just about meditation and circulating your energy. You also need to cultivate your mind, broaden your horizons, enhance your understanding, and refine your character. Only in this way can you maintain the smooth flow of your magical power and reduce the frequency of stagnation. Learning the way of formations and improving your tactical skills will also help to improve your mind and enhance your understanding..."

If it is just a small barrier formed by a few people, it is not difficult for high-level cultivators to work together.

However, if it is a large barrier with dozens or hundreds of people, and it is staffed by low-level Qi Refining disciples, the difficulty naturally increases significantly.

One day passed.

Li Mo was so engrossed in his role as a military instructor that he was quite exhausted.

He had previously thought that only Ye Fuhu and Song Xiang were familiar faces here.

However, during the in-depth teaching process, he discovered a familiar face in the crowd. Tian Fen was also in Song Xiang's team, and he was still in the Qi Refining stage.

It's worth noting that he was an elite disciple two years ahead of Li Mo. Li Mo had learned the Summoning Thunder Slave and Thunder God Transformation Secret Technique from him. When he graduated, he was already at the ninth level of Qi Refining and was one of the favorites to win the championship. It's unbelievable that he's still stuck at the Qi Refining stage.

Could it be that he's also facing a bottleneck in the Foundation Establishment stage, encountered inner demons, or has some other problem?

After seeing Li Mo, Tian Fen's expression was uncertain for a long time, showing a mixture of anxiety and mixed feelings.

However, because they were in public, neither of them said much.

There will be ten days of rest ahead of us.

So he took out a communication talisman, said something to it, and then casually cast it out; the talisman quickly disappeared.

After a while.

Tian Fen strode over and came to Li Mo's side.

"Disciple Tian Fen greets Instructor Li."

Time has passed, and Tian Fen's eyes seem to be filled with regret and sighs as he looks at Li Mo. He can't help but recall the scene when he first met Li Mo and asked him to find a way to raise three hundred spirit stones so that he could teach him the Thunderous Transformation Technique.

"No need for formalities, please have a seat."

"Yes."

The two sat down at a stone table in a small pavilion in the Dharma Protector Hall.

Li Mo looked at this senior brother whom he once looked up to, but he didn't have much of a special emotional fluctuation. In the ten years he had been in the outer sect, he had seen all kinds of people.

The reason he was summoned was simply because he was interested in the extremely secret scroll about Lei Wuhua that he possessed.

So he got straight to the point.

"Let's get straight to the point. I'm very interested in the secret scrolls related to Lei Wu's transformation in your possession."

Upon hearing this, Tian Fen's expression darkened.

Li Mo knew that this secret scroll was a precious and vital item to Tian Fen, so he immediately waved his hand and smiled.

"I won't just look at you for nothing. How about this, I have a copy of the 'Enlightenment Technique' here, which can be used as an exchange. After mastering this secret technique, it can enhance the spiritual power of a Qi Refining disciple by 30% and has a wonderful effect on weakening the bottleneck of the Qi Refining stage. It's just for us to exchange and watch on the spot, how about it?"

After hesitating for a moment, Tian Fen sighed helplessly through gritted teeth.

"In that case, alright."

Tian Fen took out a tattered ancient scroll from his storage bag.

Seeing that the cover was damaged and half of the pages were missing, Li Mo felt a pang of regret. It seemed that this so-called Thunderous Transformation was a secret technique he had named himself.

Li Mo also took out the "Enlightenment Technique" and exchanged it with him.

The two of them then sat down together and began to observe each other.

After seeing the contents of "The Enlightenment Manual," many of which were Li Mo's insights and annotations, Tian Fen was immediately delighted.

Li Mo was also captivated by the contents of the incomplete ancient book, unable to extricate himself from it.

unconsciously.

Two hours passed.

When Li Mo finished reading the last half-page of the incomplete ancient book, he couldn't help but show a look of lingering interest.

"If this ancient book could have been preserved intact, it would most likely be a powerful lightning cultivation technique. What a pity..."

Now, in this ancient book, which is less than half full, only three records of the application of thunder magic remain.

One of them is the so-called Thunder God Transformation Secret Technique.

However, it only provides about half of the basic introduction.

Therefore, it seems that Tian Fen's so-called self-created secret technique was merely a supplement based on the fundamental principles.

"However, it seems that Tian Fen's secret techniques have gone in the wrong direction."

Li Mo's vision and knowledge are now far beyond what they were twelve years ago. He recalled his experience of quickly condensing lightning crystals in the Spirit Spring Pavilion and combined it with the secret techniques in this incomplete scroll, and suddenly he had an epiphany.

"It seems that the best way to condense lightning crystals is not by relying on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but by merging the primordial energy and spiritual energy of heaven and earth into one after cultivating both body and mind. Only in this way can lightning crystals be condensed quickly, instead of taking about a month to condense one crystal. Moreover, as cultivation level increases, the condensation time will continue to be extended."

As for the application of the other two types of lightning techniques...

These are respectively Thunder Technique Body Refinement and Secret Techniques for Breaking Through Bottlenecks!

The so-called Thunder Body Refinement requires the practitioner to continuously activate Thunder Transformation, allowing the body to undergo repeated cycles of damage and repair, thereby refining the so-called Extreme Thunder Body.

However, to cultivate this so-called Extreme Thunder Body, even at a minor level, one would need to activate the Thunder Transformation Secret Technique at least a hundred times.

However, to fully master the Extreme Thunder Body, one needs to activate at least tens of thousands of secret techniques and perform a complex ritual to achieve complete mastery.

At that time, all thunder magic will be twice as effective.

Those who possess the Extreme Thunder Body will also suffer a sharp reduction in various lightning damages, making it a supreme holy body in the path of thunder.
