The moment Elder Zhixian entered the range of the formation, the spirit of the Thunder Lord in the sculpture in the hall suddenly became gloomy.

He never imagined that after a thousand years, there would still be cultivators at the Spiritualization Realm coming to his cave to look for treasures...

That’s right, Venerable Lei Ting thought that Elder Zhixian came here to plunder his treasures, but Elder Zhixian was only after Shi Jian.

When he stepped into the formation, a flash of inspiration appeared, and the entire hall became extremely clear in Elder Zhixian's eyes, including Shi Jian who was sitting cross-legged and practicing.

Feeling the aura fluctuations of the young monk in the hall, Elder Zhixian could be sure that this was the Shi Jian he was looking for!
"That's right, this is the aura that Wu Chenzi provided to Shi Jian. It is exactly the same. It is undoubtedly Shi Jian!

Fortunately, the child was not injured.”

He breathed a sigh of relief. The moment he saw Shi Jian, Elder Zhixian finally understood why Wu Chenzi praised his disciple so much.

Around fifty years old, in the middle stage of Nascent Soul!
If what Wu Chenzi said was correct, after Shi Jian entered this world, it only took him more than a year to grow from the peak of the Golden Core stage to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage.

With such a terrifying talent, even without Maoshan's strong support and resource supply, Shi Jian would only need about a hundred years to cultivate to his own level. If he is lucky, he can even reach his level earlier!

Just like now...

Looking at the pure thunder energy being continuously absorbed by Shi Jian, Elder Zhixian's face couldn't help but twitch. No wonder.

However, at this moment, Elder Zhixian had no idea that a terrifying thunder was brewing in the void. It was not until the moment the thunder fell that Elder Zhixian was shocked. He looked up at the thunder coming straight towards him and was stunned.

This bolt of lightning was actually close to the full-strength attack of an ordinary great god-transforming cultivator.

Obviously, the owner of this palace does not welcome me...

However, Elder Zhixian is not a vegetarian!
"Humph! Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

With a fierce flick of his sleeves, the thunder that was originally falling suddenly turned into nothingness, and even the void was shattered by the wave of Elder Zhixian's sleeves.

Suddenly, an old figure emerged from the void. It was Lord Thunder!
"Daoyou has come for no reason. This sea of ​​thunder does not welcome you..."

Lord Lei Ting had a serious look on his face. It was obvious that facing Elder Zhixian, his only remaining soul was under great pressure. If he were alive, facing a cultivator like Elder Zhixian, he would not reason with him at all, but would just solve the problem with his fists.

Elder Zhixian also had a cold expression on his face. He looked up at the soul of Lord Lei Ting in the void. Not willing to be outdone, his cultivation of the late stage of the Divine Transformation soared into the sky, and the entire island began to tremble.

"I am Chen Zhixian, the former headmaster of Maoshan. May I ask if you are the former Thunder Master?"

Elder Zhixian did not want to do this at the moment, because Shi Jian was still in the palace. He was sure that he could eliminate the soul of the Thunder Lord, but he could not guarantee that Shi Jian would not be harmed in the process.

If the other party were to give up and expose his soul and return to Maoshan, he would have no way to explain to Lin Zu.

The two sides seemed to be on the verge of a fight, but they both restrained themselves because of Shi Jian.

But at this moment, neither of them knew that the other's concerns were Shi Jian...

“So you are the headmaster of Mount Mao, no wonder you have such a high level of cultivation.

But even so, you can't take another step forward today!"

Lord Thunder was determined to die. As long as the opponent dared to move forward, he would use his last trump card. Although it would be difficult to seriously injure the opponent, it would give Shi Jian a chance to leave the Sea of ​​Thunder.

"I'm sorry I can't obey your words, but if you are willing to let me take your friend away, I promise not to damage any flower or tree on your island."

"It's nice to think of it, but do you know that this kid is my man? You want to take him away. What are you guys in Maoshan planning? Do you really think I don't know?

In short, forget it! "

Hearing this, Elder Zhixian's face turned ashen. He really did not expect that the other party would be so tough. It was obviously just a remnant of soul. No matter how powerful he was in life, he was just a soul now. In the past, Elder Zhixian would not tolerate him.

After finally calming himself down, Elder Zhixian tried hard to force a smile.

"Your Excellency can clearly state any request you have. We at Maoshan can satisfy you. You can ask for anything, but the people in the palace must be handed over to Maoshan. If I fail to reach an agreement on this matter, I am afraid I can only ask the ancestor in charge of Maoshan to come and talk to you!"

Seeing the other party's attitude, Elder Zhixian could only bring up Lin Zu to scare the other party.

There is no other way. This Thunder Master has been dead for a thousand years. According to Elder Zhixian's guess, the reason why the other party did not release Shi Jian is probably because he wanted to revive and take over Shi Jian's body...

Maoshan certainly could not tolerate this, but he was not sure that he could resolve the matter without hurting Shi Jian.

Hearing the words "the ancestor in charge", Lord Lei Ting's heart was pounding. He knew very well what this meant. If the ancestor's spirit who was in charge of Maoshan really came, let alone the fact that he was just a spirit now, even if he was in his prime, he would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot and would be vulnerable.

"Damn it!
Why did the monks from Mount Mao come here...

This is trouble. "

Trembling secretly in his heart, Lord Thunder glanced towards the hall and saw Shi Jian's young face. A hint of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes.

He would never let the successor whom he had waited for a thousand years to fall into Maoshan so easily.

Rumble, in the void, the great formation began to operate, and rays of lightning tore through the void. It was obvious that the Thunder Lord intended to use his trump card and send Shi Jian out of the sea of ​​thunder before the Maoshan Yuanshen ancestor arrived.

In the eyes of Elder Zhixian, the other party was clearly going to die together, and he immediately panicked. "Your Excellency is really so ungrateful, you know that the price of hurting my Maoshan disciples is something you cannot afford, why don't you quickly release my Maoshan disciples!"

Elder Zhixian was also anxious, and took out the jade token for contacting Lin Zu and was about to crush it...

Lord Lei Ting, who had originally planned to die in battle, was stunned when he heard the words "disciple of Maoshan".

The large formation that was originally running in the void also suddenly stopped.

"Fellow Daoist, are you saying that the young man I have finally picked is a disciple of your Maoshan?"

Elder Zhixian, who was about to crush the jade token, was also stunned when he heard the other party's words.

"Your Excellency actually has a crush on Shi Jian?"

The air suddenly froze, and the two looked at each other, the scene was extremely awkward...

Half an incense stick later, after Elder Zhixian and Venerable Lei Ting had a conversation with each other, the two finally understood each other's situation.

"Ahem, Fellow Daoist Zhixian, it turns out this kid is really from your Maoshan...

However, even so, Fellow Daoist Zhixian cannot take it away now."

Hearing this, Elder Zhixian nodded.

He understood what the other party meant. It was actually more suitable for Shi Jian to practice here than to go to Maoshan. However, in order to protect Shi Jian, Elder Zhixian could not trust the other party easily.

"Senior Lei Zun, I can keep Shi Jian for the time being. However, in order to ensure his safety, I need to plant a protective talisman for him!"

Lord Thunder did not refuse this.

Unconsciously, Shi Jian only felt himself floating in the void, and his whole body was hot. Gradually, a cool feeling came from his chest, which made Shi Jian feel particularly comfortable.

In fact, this was Elder Zhixian transferring the protective talisman bestowed by Lin Zu to Shi Jian.

After all, no matter how true what Venerable Lei Ting said was, Elder Zhixian could not leave Shi Jian's safety in the control of the other party.

By transferring this protective talisman, it would be impossible for a Divine Transformation cultivator to hurt Shi Jian within at least one stick of incense. And once the talisman is activated, Lin Zu, who is far away in Maoshan, will be able to get the news.

At least, unless the Yuanshen Patriarch takes action, Shi Jian will have no worries...

Lord Thunder was also watching quietly from the side. He knew that the other party was trying to prevent him from taking over another's body.

Not to mention, if he really had this possibility a thousand years ago, but now, his soul can no longer hold on for much longer and he is simply unable to possess another body. What's more, possessing another body's body is against the harmony of nature and will bring down divine punishment. Who would be so foolish as to possess another body's body unless they have no other choice?

It would be better to reincarnate and rebuild...

"Maoshan values ​​this kid so much that they are willing to pay such a high price. It can be seen that this kid is definitely the bright future of Maoshan!
That's fine...

Back then, I was too arrogant, but I didn’t have a sect to protect me. If I had a Yuanshen cultivator to protect me, I wouldn’t have died, and I would have achieved Yuanshen long ago.”

It was a painful memory, and when he recalled it, Thunder Lord still sighed.

Being a free cultivator sounds free and easy, but when facing danger, there is really no other way to solve it and you can only rely on yourself.

Lord Lei Ting didn't know what was good and what was bad, but he knew that if a casual cultivator could have a Yuanshen cultivator behind him, who would refuse?

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

After doing all this, Elder Zhixian took a deep look at Shi Jian who was still practicing.

After bidding farewell to Lord Thunder, he hurried back to Maoshan. He still needed to report the situation to Lin Zu.

Maoshan.

In the Patriarch's Hall, after listening to Elder Zhixian's talk about Shi Jian's situation, Wu Chenzi finally felt relieved.

"Thank God, everything is fine..."

Wu Chenzi was excited, while Lin Zu frowned slightly.

Because if what Zhixian said is true, Shi Jian is a very extraordinary child.

In just one year, he was able to reach the middle stage of Nascent Soul on his own. This kind of talent is hard to find in the world!

He slowly extended his finger and pointed lightly into the air. Lin Zu's behavior immediately attracted the attention of all the elders.

The void fluctuated rapidly, like a mirage, and a dark scene appeared in the void. Then, thunder appeared, and what caught everyone's eyes was an island...
