Traversing countless worlds from the primordial era

Chapter 39 Repaying Favors and Settling Karma

Ge Tianmin and Wu Zihua quickly looked around, and Lei Ming was already standing in front of them.

What terrified them was that neither of them had figured out how the thunder had appeared.

"This is my Yan Huan Pearl!" Wu Zihua suddenly shouted, because he discovered that the treasure in his hand was flying towards Lei Ming. Lei Ming glanced at Wu Zihua, and Wu Zihua immediately froze.

"This senior..." Ge Tianmin forced a smile and began, but Lei Ming waved his hand, and he immediately fell silent.

"Is this Yan Huanzhu from Wu Fang? What is your relationship with Wu Fang?" Lei Ming pulled Wu Zihua in front of him and asked.

Wu Zihua was filled with fear and said in a panic, "Replying to senior, Wu Fang is my grandfather, and this Yan Huanzhu was obtained by my grandfather in the secret realm of Nanzhou more than 30 years ago."

Lei Ming nodded: "It seems Fellow Daoist Wu ultimately obtained the Yan Huan Pearl. You are Fellow Daoist Wu's grandson. How long ago was Fellow Daoist Wu's passing?"

Wu Zihua looked sorrowful: "My grandfather forcibly attempted to break through to the Core Formation stage eight years ago. After failing, he persevered for another three years before passing away five years ago."

Lei Ming sighed softly. Although Wu Fang had only recommended him for personal gain, he still owed Wu Fang a favor when he reached the Core Formation stage.

"Your grandfather and I were old friends, but I never expected we would never meet again. Since you are a descendant of an old friend, I can't help but take care of you. What is your wish?" Lei Ming asked.

Wu Zihua was overjoyed. He had never heard Wu Fang mention thunder before, but he was certain that Wu Fang would not say such a thing.

"Senior, this man is also a friend of my grandfather. After my grandfather passed away, he kidnapped my family and interrogated me about Yan Huanzhu's whereabouts. If it weren't for you today, I'm afraid I would have been killed as well." Wu Zihua pointed at Ge Tianmin indignantly.

Lei Ming looked at Ge Tianmin, who felt a chill run down his spine.

"Senior, spare my life!" Ge Tianmin cried out.

Lei Ming shook his head: "Cultivators love treasures just like mortals love money, which is a very normal thing, but your methods are too despicable."

"Senior, the descendants of the Wu family are all in my hands. If you spare my life, I am willing to let them leave!" Ge Tianmin said.

"Do you think I need your cooperation?" Lei Ming stared at Ge Tianmin. Ge Tianmin's gaze met Lei Ming's, and he instantly lost consciousness. After that, when Lei Ming asked him questions, he mechanically answered them in detail. After asking all the questions, Lei Ming waved his hand, and a sword aura killed Ge Tianmin.

Wu Zihua felt a great sense of satisfaction upon seeing Ge Tianmin's death, but at the same time, he was also somewhat worried.

"Senior, this person is an elder of the Myriad Laws Sect. To avoid trouble, it would be best if you left here as soon as possible," Wu Zihua reminded him.

"Your family is imprisoned in the Wanfa Sect. I can't leave until I rescue them. Alright, enough chit-chat, come with me to the Wanfa Sect."

……

Lei Ming, carrying Wu Zihua, quickly arrived at the Wanfa Sect. The Wu family members were imprisoned in Ge Tianmin's cave dwelling, which was somewhat troublesome because it was located in the core area of ​​the Wanfa Sect.

Although Lei Ming's strength had greatly increased, he dared not underestimate the Myriad Laws Sect. A flying sword appeared beneath his feet, and he concealed his aura, appearing like an ordinary Qi Refining stage disciple. Soon, Lei Ming and his group arrived outside Ge Tianmin's cave. Ge Tianmin's cave was shrouded in an array, with clouds and mist swirling around it.

Lei Ming had already obtained the incantation to open the formation from Ge Tianmin. Once the formation was activated, the entire cave was within Lei Ming's divine sense. Lei Ming led Wu Zihua to the Wu family and casually removed the restrictions on them, restoring their freedom.

"Thank you, senior!" Wu Zihua looked at his family members who had been tormented and felt very sorry for them, but he did not forget to express his gratitude to Lei Ming.

"What do you plan to do now?" Lei Ming asked. "I'm afraid the news about Yan Huanzhu can't be kept secret for long. Once it gets out, it won't just be Ge Tianmin who's going to make a move against you."

The Yan Huan Pearl is a rare treasure that can assist Foundation Establishment cultivators in forming their Golden Core, increasing the probability of success. However, unlike elixirs, it only works if the Foundation Establishment cultivator themselves successfully reaches the Golden Core formation stage. Once used, it disappears immediately.

Wu Zihua was somewhat confused. Of course, he didn't want to lose Yan Huanzhu, but with his Qi Refining Level 12 strength, he simply couldn't protect such a treasure.

"It's a pity I don't have any Foundation Establishment Pills on me, so I can't help you establish your foundation. I'll give you these few spiritual herbs; you can try to exchange them for Foundation Establishment Pills," Lei Ming said.

"I am deeply grateful for your great kindness, senior. However, I no longer wish to pursue the Foundation Establishment stage." Wu Zihua shook his head. When Wu Fang was alive, he had secured two Foundation Establishment Pills for him, but Wu Zihua had failed both times. "I humbly request that you accept my son, Wu Chengen, as your disciple. This Yan Huan Pearl will serve as my Wu family's gift for his apprenticeship!"

"Wu Cheng'en?" Lei Ming glanced at the young man behind Wu Zihua and shook his head. "I am not a cultivator from Fengdu Kingdom and will be leaving soon, so I cannot provide you with protection. As for this Yan Huan Pearl, it is useless to me."

Wu Zihua was stunned; he hadn't expected Lei Ming to look down on Yan Huanzhu.

"You can keep Yan Huanzhu yourself. I'll take you away from the Wanfa Sect."

Lei Ming activated the formation, preparing to use the flying boat magic weapon to take everyone away. Just then, other people came looking for Ge Tianmin, and this person even knew Wu Zihua.

"Wu Zihua, what are you doing here!" Huang Liang asked in surprise. "Where's Senior Brother Ge?"

"It's you, Huang Liang!" Wu Zihua's eyes nearly blazed with fury when he saw Huang Liang. "Senior, this is the one who ruined my Wu family!"

Huang Liang hadn't figured out what was going on yet, but he had already secretly crushed the talisman and notified his fellow disciples.

"Who are you, and why are you in Senior Brother Ge's cave?" Huang Liang asked.

Lei Ming frowned. Huang Liang's movements were too fast; he couldn't stop him from crushing the talisman.

"This is troublesome." Lei Ming sensed the divine sense of a Core Formation cultivator and immediately placed the Wu family members on the flying boat. The flying boat transformed into a rainbow and flew towards the outside of the Myriad Laws Sect.

"Stop!" Huang Liang spat out a flying sword, the very one Lei Ming had given to Wu Fang. However, although the flying sword was fast, it couldn't keep up with the flying boat.

"Who dares to cause trouble at my Wanfa Sect?" A rumbling thunderclap came from afar, and a tall figure blocked the airship. Lightning flashed in his hand, and several bolts of lightning struck the airship, forcing it to stop.

"Feng Lei Dao Ren." Even though more than thirty years had passed, Lei Ming recognized the other party at a glance.

Feng Lei Dao Ren looked at Lei Ming and said, "When did Nanzhou gain a Core Formation Daoist? Moreover, you came uninvited and even wanted to take away people from my Wanfa Sect. You are showing far too little respect for me."

Lei Ming dared not delay any longer and said, "I will explain the details of this matter to you later." He spread his sleeve, and the flying boat, which was more than ten feet long, quickly shrank and fell into his sleeve. Five-colored light flashed, and Lei Ming had already disappeared from the spot.

"What a magnificent magic weapon!" Daoist Fenglei couldn't help but exclaim. "However, fellow Daoist, you underestimate me if you think you can leave my Myriad Laws Sect so easily!"

A purple flying sword appeared in Fenglei Daoren's hand. The flying sword transformed into a stream of light and slashed towards Leiming.

"Well done!" Lei Ming stretched out his hand, and a giant five-colored palm blocked the flying sword, grabbing it in one swift motion. Sword energy surged on the flying sword, severing the giant palm's fingers, but immediately, the severed fingers grew back.

"What kind of magic is this?" Feng Lei Dao Ren was very surprised. He was in the late stage of Core Formation and cultivated the Wind and Thunder Technique. His attack power was among the best below the Nascent Soul stage. However, his magic weapon was blocked by a magic spell from Lei Ming!

"I can defeat your magic!" Lei Ming slapped his palm again, the five-colored giant palm becoming even more solid, directly slapping the flying sword back.

"Today is not the right time. I'll learn your Wind and Thunder Daoist techniques another time." Lei Ming left these words behind, then transformed into a rainbow and flew away. The Wind and Thunder Daoist sheathed his flying sword and did not give chase.

Lei Ming's fight with Feng Lei Dao Ren alerted Han Bing, the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Wan Fa Sect. Han Bing arrived as soon as Lei Ming left.

"Uncle-Master!" Feng Lei Daoist greeted the Cold Ice Ancestor.

"What happened?" Old Ancestor Hanbing asked, looking around.

Feng Lei Dao Ren smiled wryly and recounted what had just happened.

"Judging from the current situation, this person may not necessarily harbor any ill will towards my Myriad Laws Sect. You acted too impulsively this time. However, given his sudden appearance and formidable strength, what is his identity?" Ancestor Hanbing asked curiously.

"Ancestor, this disciple knows this person's identity," Huang Liang, who had been hiding below, said.
