Chapter 504 Chasing Lightning
West of Zangsha Lake, deep in the sea of ​​sand, dark clouds rolled and thunder rumbled; today was an unusually rainy day.

Although the Western Regions are a unique place, with sand dunes everywhere and few lakes, it is not that it is completely devoid of rainfall. Rather, the rainwater cannot be retained. The boundless sand dunes are like a greedy giant mouth, swallowing up everything, no matter how much rain falls.

At that moment, a streak of purple lightning came from afar, instantly piercing into the dark clouds at an extreme speed.

With a deafening roar, thunder roared, and the arrival of the purple lightning seemed to have stirred up a hornet's nest. Streaks of silver lightning appeared in the dark clouds, like silver snakes tearing at the purple lightning. The purple lightning was not afraid at all and even took the initiative to meet it.

With each collision and intertwining, the purple lightning grew increasingly brilliant over time, gradually changing from pale purple to deep purple. The lightning within a hundred miles was drawn to it, and for a moment, a small thunderstorm was formed.

Being in this environment, Jiang Chen's Yin Spirit was constantly being tempered by the thunder and lightning of heaven and earth.

Although the lightning generated by nature cannot compare to some supernatural powers and spells in terms of power, it is born from heaven and earth and carries a touch of the wonder of heaven and earth, which is something that ordinary lightning spells cannot match.

At a certain moment, bathed in thunder, the righteousness of the thunder dispelled the darkness of the yin essence. As the last trace of the yin essence on the surface dissipated, an unprecedented warmth spread from the depths of Jiang Chen's soul.

"Chasing lightning and using the Purple Lightning Sword as a guide, it took a whole month. The Yin essence within my soul has finally been completely dissolved. My previous idea was indeed feasible."

Looking inward at his own soul and sensing the changes within himself, Jiang Chen revealed a smile.

He had previously considered using lightning to temper his soul and dispel the yin energy, but unfortunately neither the Xuan Yin Shocking Thunder nor the Spring Thunder that he possessed were suitable. Originally, this idea had to be temporarily shelved, but with the appearance of the Purple Lightning Sword, this problem has taken a turn for the better.

The Purple Lightning Sword is born with extraordinary power, capable of connecting with the thunder of heaven and earth. Using it as a conduit, one can attract the thunder of heaven and earth and temper oneself with it.

During this time, Jiang Chen's Yin spirit traveled, using his divine power to control his sword and chase after lightning. He tempered himself with the lightning of heaven and earth, which not only allowed the Purple Lightning Sword to grow to a certain extent, but also resolved a hidden danger in his own soul. It can be said that he achieved multiple benefits in one fell swoop.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Jiang Chen's soul is strong enough and can repair itself; otherwise, rashly drawing upon the power of heavenly lightning to purify his soul would be tantamount to courting death.

"The forces of water and fire are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. Although the soul can be tempered between cycles, it is better for nourishment. At my stage, the Kanli Soul Forging Method is no longer sufficient. Most importantly, it is difficult to dissolve Yin matter."

"In comparison, thunder is extremely yang and has a natural advantage in dissolving yin. This time, when I dissolved the yin that was derived from devouring ghosts, I felt a subtle change in my soul."

"The essence of the soul is yin. Although it has its own supernatural abilities, it also has its own drawbacks. If I want to break free from the original constraints, perhaps I should pursue the transformation from yin to yang."

As his thoughts collided and he reflected on the changes he had undergone during this period, Jiang Chen began to have some ideas about the future of the Path of the Divine Soul.

The third-order Divine Soul Path is Out-of-Body, where the Divine Soul transforms from formless to tangible, condensing into a Yin Spirit. It can leave the physical body and roam freely in the world, unafraid of wind or rain, which is quite mysterious. Once you reach this stage, simply piling up Divine Soul power is no longer enough to make further breakthroughs. Although the Yin Spirit is strong, it also has its limits.

"Although it's just a possibility, it's still worth trying. Although the Nine Revolutions Netherworld Technique is only a third-tier ghost path inheritance, it actually reveals this trend in the future. It's difficult for a ghost spirit to enter sainthood after countless tribulations. If a ghost cultivator wants to achieve great success, changing the yin nature of their soul is of paramount importance."

After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Chen's thoughts became increasingly clear.

"It's worth a try. Even if it's wrong, it can be used to eliminate the hidden dangers of soul devouring. If I want to quickly strengthen my divine soul power, devouring ghosts is a very good option."

"However, my current tempering method is still too crude. It simply uses the Purple Lightning Sword as a guide and borrows the thunder of heaven and earth. The tempering effect on the soul is quite limited, and it can only change the appearance."

"To achieve my goal and completely rewrite the Yin nature of my soul, I must further refine it." With this thought in mind, Jiang Chen no longer hesitated. He once again merged with his sword, drawing upon the thunder of heaven and earth to temper himself.

At this moment, thunder roared, its power surpassing that of before, and the sky flickered between light and darkness as the lightning snakes darted about.

As time went by, this momentum continued to spread outwards, unexpectedly attracting the attention of some people.

In the vast void, startled by the thunderous force, a wisp of drifting breeze quietly transformed into a blurry figure. Its shape resembled a mantis, and its body was as swift as the wind. It was none other than the Mad Wind Demon King who had once destroyed Jade Mountain City.

"With such a grand display, what kind of treasure has been unearthed?"

As his consciousness returned, the Gale Demon King turned his gaze to the distance.

As it activated its supernatural powers, it saw a thunderstorm, and even more so, a flying sword that traversed freely within the thunderstorm, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth to temper itself, a sword brimming with spirituality.

"Such astonishing spirituality, is this a Dao artifact? No, it is definitely not a Dao artifact. If it were a Dao artifact, its power would be more than ten times stronger than this."

"This is a rare treasure. Although it has not yet been sharpened, its essence is extremely high and its future is promising. Once it is sharpened, it will at least be a superior treasure. Moreover, with the spirituality it is showing now, it may even become a Dao artifact in the future."

Upon closer inspection, the Gale Demon King glimpsed some of the true nature of the Purple Lightning Sword amidst the thunder, leaving him both surprised and delighted.

"What a treasure! It truly is a treasure!"

The more he looked, the happier he became, and greed began to grow in the heart of the Gale Demon King.

"If I had such a treasure in my hands before, combined with wind and thunder, how could the Illusionary Dream Sect of the Impermanence Sect have suppressed me to this extent?"

Thinking of his previous experiences, the greed in the heart of the Gale Demon King continued to grow.

It had a rough time lately. Although it had obtained two fragments of the Thunder Seal after destroying Jade Mountain City, it hadn't even had time to be happy before True Person Illusion Dream made his move.

Facing the powerful and mysterious Illusionary Dream Master, who possessed a treasure, this rogue demon with little foundation was no match for him and was severely injured. If it hadn't awakened a portion of its alien bloodline and cultivated a body with its own mysteries, it might have perished.

Even so, it was relentlessly pursued by the Impermanence Sect in the following period. In order to save its life, it could only use its supernatural powers to hide itself and drift with the current in the void until it was awakened by the power of the Purple Lightning Sword today.

"When fortune smiles upon us, it truly is when fortune smiles upon us."

"Such a treasure should rightfully belong to me."

Using the art of wind whispering to perceive the surroundings and confirming that there was no danger, the Gale Demon King could no longer suppress his desires.

In the next instant, its body merged with the wind, and the Gale Demon King approached the Purple Lightning Sword at an extremely fast speed. Although it was seriously injured and its precious body was almost destroyed, it still had no problem retrieving a rare treasure that no one was controlling.
