Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 508 Ignoring and Turning Away
Amidst the misty clouds, in a special environment inaccessible to outsiders, a bolt from the blue struck, and Lei Qing's dormant consciousness slowly revived.

"Is Kuangfeng dead?"

With a vague sense of something, Lei Qing turned his gaze outside the illusion. Because its identity was too sensitive, several Purple Mansion Demon Kings had signed a legal prohibition to prevent the information from leaking. As long as this legal prohibition was in place, neither the Purple Mansion Demon Kings could leak the relevant events, whether they did so willingly or unwillingly.

Just now, it sensed that a restriction had completely disappeared. There is only one possibility for this, and that is that the person has completely perished.

"In this Western Region, the only people with the ability and motive to kill Kuangfeng are probably from the Wuchang Sect. The question is whether they have obtained any information from Kuangfeng?"

Having confirmed the fall of the Gale Demon King, Lei Qing looked out into the deep night and fell into deep thought.

It was not afraid of soul searching. It was confident in the soul restriction spell it had set up. Although it was not a perfect method and could be broken, it was not something that ordinary people could do. At least, the people of the Wuchang Sect in the Western Regions could not do it at present.

"Although the Wuchang Sect probably doesn't know anything yet, the death of Kuangfeng is not a good omen no matter what. Perhaps I should speed things up. The longer this matter drags on, the more troublesome it will become."

"So far, including the most important core, I have one-third of the fragments of the Primordial Thunder Seal. If I act quickly enough, I can collect some more and reach half of it. Then I can use a secret technique to directly retrieve those fragments."

"By then, even if the Impermanence Sect discovers something unusual, it will be too late."

As the thought crossed his mind, Lei Qing had an idea.

In the next instant, stirring the void, Lei Qing summoned a thunder pearl, and in that instant, its form became much more illusory.

Today is different from the past. Now, Yu Huan Continent is the territory of the Wu Chang Sect. Although it has some means, it does not dare to descend directly to the Western Regions in its true form. In the end, it is only at the Purple Mansion level and has not yet achieved the Celestial Phenomenon level. Of course, even if it had achieved the Celestial Phenomenon level, it would not dare to directly invade Yu Huan Continent alone.

"What we're doing now is exploiting a time difference."

With the Thunder Pearl in front, Lei Qing used his divine power to continuously pour his own power into it.

At that moment, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and bolts of lightning struck the Thunder Pearl. As time passed, the Thunder Pearl's aura grew stronger and stronger.

"break!"

At a certain moment, sensing that the power of the Thunder Pearl had reached its peak, Lei Qing mustered all his strength and flapped his wings.

In that instant, two bolts of lightning, one blue and one white, formed simultaneously, intertwined, and converged into a destructive force that pierced through the illusion. At that moment, the barrier between the illusion and reality was broken.

Noticing this change, Lei Qing no longer hesitated and sent the Thunder Pearl away.

Upon entering reality, the Thunder Pearl immediately transformed into lightning and vanished into the world.

"I hope everything goes smoothly. As long as I can reunite the Primordial Thunder Seal and reopen Mount Qingming, I can not only enter the Thunder Pool to refine my constitution and forge a profound Dao Body, but also possibly..."

Watching Lei Zhu disappear into the distance, a glimmer of hope appeared in Lei Qing's eyes as he considered a certain possibility.

Five hundred years ago, the Thunder Roc clan suffered a devastating blow in a war. Although not completely wiped out, they were nearly destroyed, with only a handful of survivors. Even the Little Roc King, despite his supposedly noble bloodline, was essentially nothing more than a stray dog. Even after gaining support from other forces and rebuilding the Dark Feather Sect, which amassed a considerable power, it was still far inferior to the Impermanence Sect. Most importantly, while the Dark Feather Sect was formed in the name of the Thunder Roc clan, the clan remained the nominal ruler, still subject to many restrictions.

To escape this predicament and truly revitalize the Lei Peng clan, even stronger support is needed, at least celestial-level power.

"Success or failure hinges on this."

The feeling of weakness continued to spread. With a soft sigh, he could no longer hold on, and Lei Qing's consciousness fell into silence.

In the following period, with Lei Qing's intervention, the speed at which the demon race collected the fragments of the Thunder Seal suddenly accelerated. The Thunder Pearl itself was a trace of the source power separated from the Primordial Thunder Seal, giving it a natural advantage in this regard.

Wherever it passes, the dormant fragments of the Thunder Seal will spontaneously respond and begin to slowly revive, thus revealing various traces. In this way, the demon race, which is prepared in advance, can find the fragments of the Thunder Seal more effectively. The only pity is that this thing is a consumable and can only be maintained for a limited time.

At the same time, this move by the demon race also attracted the attention of some people.

"Is this what the demon race is looking for? I wonder what its origins are that makes them so concerned."

The sword centipede's body coiled in the void, gazing at the fragments of the lightning seal before it, and Xin Yi fell into deep thought.

She seized this fragment from the demon race after discovering the anomaly, but after studying it several times, she failed to uncover its mysteries.

"For the demon race to go to such great lengths to search, this fragment must be extraordinary. The reason we can't see it clearly now is probably because it's too thoroughly broken. Perhaps I should collect a few more fragments. Even if I can't figure it out later, I can still contact my master."

With a thought, she put away the fragments and Xinyi once again vanished into the void.

While Xin Yi was chasing after the fragments of the Thunder Seal, in another place, Huanmeng Zhenren was also silently watching the actions of the demon race. However, unlike Xin Yi Zhenren, she never really intervened in the matter, nor did she try to stop the demon race, as if she had not noticed anything unusual about the demon race.

When other real people made discoveries, she simply went with the flow, saying on the surface that she was investigating the root cause, but she didn't take any extra action herself.

"The Primordial Thunder Seal was once the treasure of the Thunder Roc Clan, a true top-grade Dao artifact, only one step away from becoming a celestial artifact. It was precisely because of this treasure that the sect was unable to break through Qingming Mountain for so long."

"Later, the sect used its true strength to secure the victory, but even so, the sect was unable to truly swallow Qingming Mountain."

"Now that this treasure has reappeared, I wonder what the sect is planning. They're just turning a blind eye. Do they really intend to let the Lei Peng clan regain control of the Primordial Thunder Seal?"

Looking back towards the direction of the Impermanence Sect, the Dream Immortal's thoughts drifted away, her heart filled with doubt and confusion.

Upon arriving in the Western Regions, after discovering clues and confirming the sect's suspicions, she immediately relayed the news back to the sect. She originally thought that the sect would take action to hunt down Lei Peng, seize the fragments of the Primordial Thunder Seal, and completely crush the Lei Peng clan's hopes. However, she did not expect that the sect's response would be to tell her to remain inactive.

"The sect should have its own plans for this matter."

With a soft sigh, the figure of the Dream Immortal vanished.
