I'm already a Great Luo Golden Immortal, how come you're only Martial Saints?

Ning Chen was immersed in the profound mystery of the Five Thunder Orthodox Method, feeling its powerful force. He raised a finger, and a surge of thunderous power emerged from his fingertip, crackling loudly!

The ancestral cave instantly became extremely bright, as if Ning Chen was holding a small star on his fingertip, making it impossible to look directly at it!

Just when Ning Chen thought he had grasped the full picture of the Daoist sect's number one killing technique.

The patriarch's peaceful and profound voice rang out once more, opening the door to even more profound mysteries of thunder magic for Ning Chen.

"Wuchen, the wonders of the Five Thunders are far more than just their outward appearance!"

The patriarch's eyes seemed to hold a galaxy of stars, carrying a profound understanding of all things.

"A single thunder technique is already an act of punishment on behalf of Heaven, but the key to the universe lies in the mutual generation and restraint, the ceaseless flow of energy. What kind of profound thunder can be generated by the interaction of metal and wood? What kind of strange phenomena can be transformed by the fusion of water and fire? Earth and metal generate each other, wood and earth restrain each other, and even the five elements of metal, water, wood, fire, and earth return to their origin. The changes within these interactions exhaust the ultimate principles of the universe!"

Ning Chen was deeply shaken. With just a few words from his ancestor, a vast and boundless panorama of thunderous divine techniques unfolded before him.

The patriarch said calmly.

"Your journey to the mortal realm will likely be fraught with hardship, so I will lend you a helping hand once more!"

The patriarch stretched out his right hand, and a bolt of lightning shot out from his fingertip, striking Ning Chen's brow!

boom!

Ning Chen tilted his head back and immediately entered an illusion, where a Taoist in black was demonstrating the Five Thunder Orthodox Method and its many wonderful uses!

First and foremost is the method of combining two lightning bolts!

The metal, water, and thunder elements combine to generate the Xuanming Ice Soul Thunder, whose chilling energy corrodes the bones and freezes the primordial spirit.

When wood, fire, and thunder interact, they can transform into the Azure Sun Burning Thunder, which can incinerate mountains and boil seas, extinguishing all life.

The fusion of water, earth, and thunder magic creates the turbid waves and thunder of the Nine Abyss, a defiled magic treasure that corrodes the soul.

The clash of metal, wood, and thunder magic generates the Yi-Geng Demon-Slaying Thunder, which is specifically designed to destroy the true form of demons and is unstoppable.

Fire, earth, and thunder magic merge to form lava-cracking landmines, shaking the earth's veins and burning the eight directions.

The five types of lightning techniques can be combined in numerous ways, making them far more powerful than a single lightning technique, and each has its own unique characteristics!

That wasn't all; the black-clad Taoist continued to evolve, unleashing the second wondrous technique of thunder magic.

Three thunderbolts working together!

The combination of water, earth, wood, and thunder can condense the thunder of the Nine Earths to suppress all evil spirits, activate the earth's dragon veins, and suppress all evil forces!

The fusion of metal, fire, wood, and thunder magic creates the Thunder that vanquishes evil and breaks through falsehoods, shatters demons and suppresses malevolent forces, and cleanses the mind of inner demons.

The Dharma Wheel of Water, Fire, Earth, and Thunder rotates, transforming into Samadhi Refining Thunder, which can both temper the physical body of the Dharma Treasure and melt the primordial spirit and soul.

When the three thunderbolts converge, their power increases exponentially, enough to shake a small area of ​​the world.

Then came the method of controlling the four thunderbolts simultaneously, which was forcibly implanted into Ning Chen's sea of ​​consciousness.

The power of this kind of thunder magic is even more astonishing. For example, the Three Yin Demon-Slaying Thunder, which lacks fire, draws upon the most Yin and cold evil energy in the world, and is specifically designed to counter Yang gods and demons.

The green wood lacking metal transforms into tribulation lightning, seemingly full of vitality, but in reality it contains the meaning of annihilation and decay, eroding lifespan.

There are many combinations, each with its own emphasis, and none of them are ordinary.

Finally, there is the method of combining the five thunderbolts.

Only when the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth flow and blend perfectly can the supreme Chaos Heaven-Destroying Divine Thunder be created!

This thunderbolt, once unleashed, contains the immense power to create heaven and earth, annihilating the five elements and restoring order to the universe; it is the ultimate punishment on behalf of heaven!

Its power is so vast that it cannot be described in words.

The patriarch appeared in Ning Chen's sea of ​​consciousness at some unknown time and sighed from the side.

"The Five Thunder Orthodox Method encompasses everything and has endless variations. The combinations and derivatives within it are countless. Some people spend their entire lives studying the classics until their hair turns white, yet they still cannot grasp its full scope, let alone cultivate it to the highest level. This is the foundation for the Daoist sect to protect the Dharma and safeguard the Dao. Its supreme killing and divine power is no exaggeration."

Ning Chen was captivated by what he heard, and the pride he had felt from mastering a single lightning technique vanished instantly.

This is more than just a supernatural power.

What the patriarch passed down was clearly a general outline of the Great Dao of Thunder!

The power of the five elements of thunder surged and crisscrossed his meridians, and every possible combination of thunder techniques evolved and deduced in his sea of ​​consciousness, bursting forth with boundless spiritual light.

Ning Chen knew this was a rare opportunity; it was as if the patriarch was forcibly empowering him to experience the profound mysteries of thunder magic!

He eagerly comprehended the mysteries of the five elements' mutual generation and restraint, and tried to simulate the trajectory of the two thunderbolts merging in his divine sense. He found it to be infinitely profound and unfathomable!

Suddenly, a pulling force originating from the depths of one's soul became incredibly strong!

The time has come to return to Earth!

Ning Chen awoke from his reverie with a start, a sense of regret and urgency washing over him.

Time flies! He has only scratched the surface of the profound mysteries of the Five Thunder Orthodox Method, and has not even mastered a single combination of two thunders.

But there was no time for him to delay any longer.

He composed himself, exited the illusion, and bowed deeply to his ancestor with utmost respect.

"This disciple kowtows in gratitude to the Patriarch for the immense kindness of transmitting the Dharma and resolving doubts! This kindness will be unforgettable for all eternity!"

If not for the guidance of his patriarch, he could not have grasped the true essence of thunder magic so quickly.

If not for the teachings bestowed by the patriarch, he would have had no confidence to face the impending calamities at Guanyin Temple.

The patriarch sat cross-legged on the futon, seemingly without moving at all; he merely nodded slightly.

"Go ahead, and come back soon!"

Ning Chen no longer hesitated. With a flicker of his body, he transformed into golden light and appeared inside his simple tile-roofed house.

He sat cross-legged on the futon, concentrating his mind and preparing to welcome the shift in time and space.

Just then, the door of the teahouse was pushed open a crack, and Monkey King's furry head poked in. His golden eyes darted around and landed on Ning Chen.

My junior brother just disappeared from the mountaintop and hasn't been seen since. It turns out he returned to my disciple's quarters.

The monkey scrutinized Ning Chen for a moment and couldn't help but marvel at the strange changes in him.

Monkey suddenly whispered.

"Junior brother... please be careful on your journey. Your senior brother will be waiting for your safe return!"

Ning Chen was startled, and his pupils shrank almost imperceptibly!

Just how powerful is Monkey King that he could sense that I was about to descend to the mortal realm?

Time was of the essence, so Ning Chen didn't ask any more questions. He suppressed the shock in his heart, nodded to Monkey King, and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you for the reminder, senior brother. I will keep it in mind."

Upon hearing this, Monkey King grinned, said no more, and quietly retreated, gently closing the door behind him.

Taking a deep breath, Ning Chen's mind sank into that familiar sense of attraction.

The next instant, the space before him rippled like water, and he was back in the central core of the divine realm...

Luo Zhantian, Tang Hao, Sun Rongrong, Wu Dajin, and others had been anxiously waiting there.

With the deadline for forced return drawing ever closer, Ning Chen has yet to appear, causing growing anxiety.

Especially in the last six months, Ning Chen has been out of contact and cannot be reached!

A sense of unease crept into everyone's minds.

When they saw Ning Chen's figure finally emerge from the giant Journey to the West scroll before them, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ning Chen!"

"Brother Ning! You've finally shown up!"

"Why are you so late? We all thought you..."

However, when they saw Ning Chen's appearance at that moment, everyone's gaze suddenly froze, and their pupils shrank slightly!
