Youth Song: Leijiabao Thunder Emperor

"I've given you the cultivation technique. Leave now. I need to rest."

After delivering the cultivation manual, Mo Yi began to dismiss the guests. She did appear somewhat tired, not physically, but mentally.

"Mr. Mo Yi, I have another question I would like to ask you both."

Lei Dong realized this wouldn't do and quickly stopped him.

"If you have any other questions, ask Xiao Baili."

Hearing Lei Dong's words, Mo Yi spoke with little interest, as if she was about to lie down at any moment.

"On the continent, within the imperial dynasty, is it not permissible for divine realms to exist?"

Your request for the city lord to take care of your hair is a pretense; your real intention is to keep him in Penglai.

The Great City Lord knows this too, doesn't he?

Upon hearing Lei Dong's question, Xiao Se's eyes widened instantly. Baili Dongjun and Mo Yi, however, laughed.

"You are indeed clever. If Tang Lian were even a fraction as intelligent as you, I wouldn't have such a headache."

Indeed, all the powerful cultivators in the Divine Realm on the continent are within the Four Realms.

"Are the Four Realms really that terrifying?"

Hearing this, Lei Dong frowned. If it was really that dangerous, why hadn't any accidents happened? Were the Four Realms Guardians really that powerful that they hadn't revealed a single detail over countless years?

"I don't know what lies beyond the four borders, and I haven't encountered any danger in all these years."

"It's true that I want to have a grand dream, it's true that I want him to protect me, and it's true that I want him to stay in Penglai."

Mo Yi spoke after hearing Lei Dong's voice.

"That's good.

Well, you two should know that this isn't what I wanted to ask.

I want to know if I can stay in Beili after wandering in the Mystic Realm.

"Yes. His master stayed in Beili for many years."

However, the divine realm is beyond the reach of immortals, and one's personal likes and dislikes can alter the rise and fall of dynasties.

Having this strength naturally comes with corresponding responsibilities; the four realms need strong individuals to oversee them.

Those who can travel in spirit form will have their lifespan extended.

Having enjoyed supreme power, and with the successive deaths of loved ones and friends, one gradually grows weary of that continent full of scheming.

"I will voluntarily take on this responsibility when the time comes."

Mo Yi gazed at the boundless sea and explained to Lei Dong.

Lei Dong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Mo Yi's explanation, but also felt a pang of emotion.

With such overwhelming power, he can do anything with just a word. But over time, he'll become a lonely figure. What else can he do if he doesn't go to the four borders to do something for the continent?

"Thank you for your explanation, Mr. Mo Yi."

I thought mainland China wouldn't allow such an awesome person to exist.

Now I can cultivate with peace of mind.

"The protection of the four borders is of great importance. Don't you want to?"

Seeing Lei Dong's reaction, Baili Dongjun couldn't help but speak up.

"Nonsense, how old am I? I've been out in the world for less than a year."

I don't want to play for another two years and then have to survive on a deserted island.

I'll only take on this responsibility after I'm forty, after I've settled down, started a family, and my children have grown up.

I'm not like those two lonely widows...

Thunder rumbled, and Xiao Se felt a sudden dizziness. When it stopped, he was already lying on the ground at the foot of the mountain.

Only then did they hear Mo Yi's voice.

"You can leave now."

"With your foul mouth, can't you just shut up a little?"

Xiao Se, who had been unjustly attacked, got up and was immediately overwhelmed by the sight of his clothes covered in withered branches and leaves.

"Hehe, I thought Immortal Mo Yi would be indifferent to worldly affairs and personal sorrows. That's more like a human being."

Lei Dong lay on the ground, turned over and let the sunlight shine on him, his face full of joy.

What are you laughing at? What's it to you?

"Get up quickly, the Mu family's boat is waiting. We need to get back right away."

Looking at Lei Dong, Xiao Se said irritably.

This shows that immortals are not completely detached from emotions. Immortals still retain a human heart.

"To wander in a mystical realm—that's truly a wondrous power."

Lei Dong looked at his hands and felt a pang of emotion.

"You talk like you know about the mystical realm. Get up right now."

"In the battle just now, I experienced the divine wonder of the Great City Lord."

Mr. Mo Yi's immortal power.

With four more years to go, breaking Mr. Mo Yi's record might not be so difficult.

"I'm about to break through to the half-step Divine Realm."

Lei Dong jumped up and started walking.

"Here, you truly are Lei Wujie's good older brother."

Xiao Se looked at Lei Dong, who was going through a breakthrough like he was on steroids, with a helpless expression.

This guy is as shrewd as an old monster when it comes to important matters.

Sometimes he's even more of a fool than Lei Wujie, and the worst part is that he takes advantage of his superior martial arts skills to resort to violence. Where can you even find justice in that?

Upon hearing Xiao Se's words, Lei Dong froze. The next moment, he quickened his pace and headed straight for a large ginseng.

"I think this ginseng is quite good; I'd like to bring it back for Huajin."

Judging by the size of that ginseng root, it must be at least eight hundred years old, if not a thousand. It's definitely a king-level ginseng.

Of course, this is based on external calculations. Penglai Island is rich in spiritual energy, so it certainly wouldn't take this long for it to grow to this size.

"hehe."

Upon hearing Lei Dong's words, Xiao Se simply chuckled.

He admired Lei Dong for this: he could always find a reasonable explanation, one that was impossible to refute.

"Aren't you afraid Mr. Mo Yi will blame you?"

"Mr. Mo Yi is detached from worldly affairs and doesn't care about these external things."

Besides, so many precious medicinal herbs were destroyed in the battle just now, one more won't make a difference.

Hua Jin's medical skills are widely recognized; this medicine could save countless lives. Mr. Mo Yi would support her if he knew.

Lei Dong had already started making his move as he spoke.

Lei Dong's technique for harvesting medicinal herbs was quite professional. He quickly extracted the ginseng intact.

After finishing, Lei Dong bowed to the mountaintop, then kicked Xiao Se in the butt.

"Open the road now!"

Somewhat bewildered, Xiao Se pointed at Lei Dong, trembling.

He clenched his fist again and again, and finally flicked his sleeve and uttered two words.

"A brute."

After saying that, he turned and left.

"Are you planning to break through the Free and Unfettered Realm and return to Tianqi? That won't be easy."

Xiao Se remained unmoved.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Se, did you know that Mr. Mo Yi possessed the Wuji Staff Technique, which is why you proactively delivered it to his door? How cunning."

Despite the desolation, we continue to move forward.

"When you go back this time, you should return to Tianqi and be with your two good brothers, a loving family."

Xiao Se hardened his fist.

"I understand. You're not planning to marry Qianluo first and then go back as a live-in son-in-law of Xueyue City, are you?"

If you're planning on that, I, Lei, will definitely lend a hand.

Seeing that Xiao Se was ignoring him, Lei Dong was not happy.

However, Xiao Se was even more unwilling at this moment.

"roll."

With a roar, it rode the wind and clouds at full speed.

"Heh, you little brat, you dare to mock me? I'll teach you a lesson, you old Xiao."

Feeling cheerful, Lei Dong hummed a little tune and followed behind.

As soon as the two left, Mo Yi and Baili Dongjun appeared where they had left.

"How are Mr. Mo and the others?"

"That Xiao Se has great talent. He's no worse than you, and he might reach your level in the future."

As for the other one, I can't figure it out either.

He is very different from others, has many ideas, clear goals, knows how to make choices, and knows what he wants.

His future will definitely surpass ours.

"The gentleman thinks highly of him."

Baili Dongjun was surprised to hear Mo Yi's evaluation. He hadn't expected Mo Yi to have such a high opinion of Lei Dong.

"I used my aura-gazing technique to examine him; he has the aura of a grandmaster."

"The aura of a master."

"Yes, the aura of a master."

However, he is not the kind of Vajra Realm Grandmaster you are talking about.

One who establishes a path is called a founder; one who opens up a lineage is called a master.

His self-created thunder magic is now enough to establish a new school and a new lineage.

He is still young and has immense potential. He might very well advance his thunder magic further in the future and become a grandmaster of the thunder path.

Mo Yi gazed into the distance, as if she could see Lei Dong's back.

"Hiss. This kid really does do the unexpected."

When I first met him, he was only at the Vajra Mortal Realm.

Just like when I fought you, I used lightning magic and silver needles to injure my junior sister.

He has already reached this level of cultivation in less than half a year.

"Hearing you say that, I'm afraid he'll surpass you next time I see him."

"This era belongs to him."
