Gu Yue's expression darkened slightly in response to his master's soul-searching questioning.

Speaking of certainty, Gu Yue is not 100% sure that he can win this competition.

In addition to himself as the headmaster's direct disciple, who has the cultivation level of the middle Nascent Soul stage, the disciples under other elders also have some disciples in the Nascent Soul stage.

Among these fellow disciples, Xiao Cangtian, the disciple of the second elder of Kunlun, is the most outstanding.

Like Gu Yue, he is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. He even entered Kunlun earlier than Gu Yue and has been practicing for two hundred years.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Yue nodded heavily.

"Master, I will do my best..."

Yuxuzi smiled bitterly and said nothing more.

As if he had thought of something, he then looked towards the Zhixian Master who was sitting as steady as a mountain in the VIP seats in the distance.

"Disciple, did you see that senior?

This is the former headmaster of Mount Mao, Venerable Zhixian. His cultivation is much higher than your master. If you can gain the recognition of Venerable Zhixian, then when you become the headmaster of Kunlun in the future, you will also be able to get the support of Mount Mao.

At least they won’t add insult to injury…”

Yuxuzi's words sounded somewhat sad. Yes, their Kunlun had fallen to the point where they needed support from other Taoist palaces.

Gu Yue became interested. After all, his master was a great cultivator at the peak of the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. If he was even more powerful than his master, wouldn’t he have at least reached the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm?

"Tsk, Master, why did the former headmaster of Maoshan come to Kunlun?
Logically speaking, any Yuanying elder can come, there is no need to come in person, right?"

Yuxuzi smiled.

"Yes, the purpose of this Zhixian Reverend coming to Dali and Kunlun was naturally not to watch the ceremony, but to find a person, whose name seems to be Shi Jian...

However, I have already asked all the elders and disciples, and no one has ever heard of this name."

"Shi Jian!?"

Gu Yue's mouth twitched. Could it really be such a coincidence?
Seeing his disciple's expression, Yuxuzi paused and looked at him with a little surprise.

"Gu Yue, do you know this person?"

Yuxuzi was extremely serious at this moment. Gu Yue did not hesitate and quickly told his master everything about his meeting with Shi Jian and his subsequent experiences.

......................................................

"What!
Disciple, did you take the stone to the cave of the senior in the Sea of ​​Thunder?

You are not unaware that there are no treasures left in that senior's cave. In fact, because of the huge formation, even a Nascent Soul cultivator who enters it will be blasted to pieces by heavenly thunder.

Maoshan meant that Shi Jian was extremely important. If something really happened to him..."

When Yuxuzi said this, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Kunlun has always been in a turbulent time. Not to mention trying to curry favor with Maoshan, if Maoshan becomes disgusted with Kunlun because of this incident, then the same may happen to Longhushan, which is of the same bloodline. Kunlun will no longer have to dream of retaining its status as one of the Five Palaces of Taoism.

"Master, I didn't know that Shi Jian's identity was so special...

I……"

The moment Gu Yue said this, a faint fragrance entered her nasopharynx from behind her.

"Fellow Daoist Yuxu, it seems that you in Kunlun know about the situation of Shi Jian."

Turning around suddenly, Yuxuzi discovered that Venerable Zhixian, who was originally sitting in the VIP seat, had come behind them, master and disciple, without them knowing when.

But as a cultivator who has also reached the state of Divine Transformation, I was completely unaware of it!
Guldong! Yuxuzi was still able to remain calm, but this was the first time for Gu Yue to face a great cultivator from outside Kunlun. Elder Zhixian's seemingly casual look fell on Gu Yue, like a knife cutting through him, and Gu Yue felt difficulty breathing.

"Fellow Daoist Zhixian, I just learned about Shi Jian's news. I was just about to ask for details before telling you, but I didn't expect you to have heard it."

Hearing the other party say this and looking a little nervous, Elder Zhixian knew that Shi Jian’s current situation might not be optimistic!

His expression suddenly turned cold.

“Fellow Daoist Yuxu, Shi Jian is related to the future of our Maoshan. I came here to receive the order from Maoshan’s Patriarch Lin. You should know the meaning behind this.

Tell me quickly, where is Shi Jian now! "

Elder Zhixian's tone suddenly became tough. There was no other way. Elder Zhixian was also afraid that if something happened to Shi Jian, he would have a hard time explaining it when he returned.

Upon hearing this, Yuxuzi's face turned a little embarrassed. When had their Kunlun fallen to this point?
Hey!
“Senior, this has nothing to do with my master and Kunlun. It was Gu Yue who took fellow Daoist Shi Jian to the Sea of ​​Thunder…” “The Sea of ​​Thunder?”

After catching the key words, Elder Zhixian's expression suddenly changed.

With a whoosh, it turned into a ray of divine light and disappeared on the spot, tearing the void to form a passage, and stepped into it in one step. At the same time, the angry voice of Elder Zhixian was echoed in the void.

"Fellow Daoist Yuxu, you'd better pray that nothing happens to Shi Jian, otherwise Kunlun will have a hard time in the future!"

His eyes dimmed, and the sadness on Yuxuzi's face was clearly visible.

"What is this all about..."

Shaking his head, Yuxuzi could only pray that Shi Jian could survive. It was a great Kunlun competition, but because of Shi Jian, Kunlun lost its mood and became uneasy.

Thousands of miles away in the Sea of ​​Thunder, in the Palace of Thunder Saint Island, Shi Jian had no idea that because of himself, Kunlun would be in great trouble.

After a month of practice, Shi Jian can be said to have tasted the sweetness. The endless flow of thunder energy made Shi Jian devour it like a whale. He had never been so rich in practice in his life.

The results of his cultivation were also remarkable. In just one month, Shi Jian's Nascent Soul had grown to a state comparable to his true body.

This is also a sign of entering the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. As for the next step, the late stage of the Nascent Soul, the Nascent Soul needs to be transformed into a Yin God, and after going through the thunder tribulation, it will turn into a Yang God and reach the peak of the Nascent Soul.

With such a rapid cultivation speed, even Wu Chenzi, who enjoys massive resources in Maoshan, is obviously inferior to Shi Jian at the moment.

"If you want to leave here, you'll probably need to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage..."

After making some calculations secretly, Shi Jian felt that if he wanted to get out of the formation safely, he would have to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and condense his Yang Spirit, otherwise he would have no chance of leaving.

Fortunately, the speed of cultivation in the hall is extremely fast. Although there is no exact time estimate, Shi Jian feels that it will take only about ten years at most to condense the Yang God and leave the formation.

“However, it’s a pity that I didn’t receive the inheritance from this great master of the Divine Transformation this time. Now the Lightning Thunder Fist is no longer suitable for me to use.

If it weren't for the blessing of the Heavenly Punishment Thunder, this set of thunder magic wouldn't even be as powerful as the Three Flames True Fire...

Why! "

With a slight sigh, Shi Jian continued to practice, not noticing the gleam of light that flashed in the eyes of the sculpture standing in the hall.

"Two thousand years have passed, and finally a pretty good little fellow has arrived...

With a bone age of about fifty and a cultivation level of the middle Nascent Soul stage, wow, this little fellow is incredible. He is much more talented and intelligent than I was back then.

What is more crucial is his talent in thunder magic and his attainments in supernatural powers. Although the thunder magic he cultivated is only of the fifth grade, it has the power comparable to the seventh grade.

The breath of heavenly punishment, it is really the heir sent by heaven, my way is not alone, my way is not alone!"

In the sculpture, an old spirit muttered to himself. He was the owner of this cave, the legendary fallen Thunder Lord!
The most advanced cultivator who was closest to the realm of primordial spirit during his lifetime.

However, his death was not complete, and there was still a trace of his soul in the world. However, he could only stay in this formation and barely survive with the help of heavenly thunder.

The purpose of living is very simple, which is to find a suitable successor to your magical powers.

Coincidentally, Shi Jian's arrival met almost all his requirements. This was also the reason why the heavenly thunder did not bombard Shi Jian after he entered the range of the formation. As for why he did not pass on his inheritance to Shi Jian immediately, after all, he was a great cultivator of the Spirit Transformation Realm, so he had to spend some time to examine Shi Jian's character.

Well, actually, Lord Thunder was worried that Shi Jian would become too arrogant after inheriting his own heritage, just like he did back then, offending people everywhere. Now Shi Jian's cultivation was still weak, so Lord Thunder restricted Shi Jian's departure.

He planned to wait until Shi Jian's cultivation was close to the level of a spirit being before bestowing his magical power upon him. This was also a different way of protecting Shi Jian...

“Very good. In about ten years, this kid will be close to the state of transformation. Then he can inherit my magical powers. If he cultivates to the state of transformation and leaves the Sea of ​​Thunder, there will be another casual cultivator whose thunder magic power is not inferior to that of Longhu Mountain!”

Lord Lei Ting's idea was good, but unfortunately, he could not have predicted that Shi Jian was not a true casual cultivator, but simply had not found the location of Maoshan.

It is even more impossible to imagine that Elder Zhixian from Maoshan will soon descend on the Sea of ​​Thunder and shatter all the fantasies of Lord Lei Ting!
A stabbing sound...

Another bolt of thunder fell and hit the palace. The thunder energy poured into the palace. Shi Jian accepted it all and absorbed it all into his dantian. With every breath, thunder continued to emanate from his body and entangle him.

Just when Shi Jian was practicing hard, a space crack suddenly appeared above the Sea of ​​Thunder. Elder Zhixian slowly stepped out of the crack, suspended in the void, looking at the Sea of ​​Thunder below. His huge spiritual consciousness was like waves, which surged into it in an instant, and he began to search for Shi Jian's trace unscrupulously.

The entire Leisheng Island suddenly became free of secrets, but Elder Zhixian could not find any trace of Shi Jian.

The reason is simple. The palace of Lord Thunder can block divine consciousness, and even Elder Zhixian finds it difficult to invade.

"I have already explored the entire island, but there is still no trace of Shi Jian. Oh, and inside the palace!"

Thinking of this, Elder Zhixian landed in front of the palace with his last hope. Without caring about the falling thunder, he stepped directly into the range of the formation.
