156: Thunder Monument!
The thunder tablet looked ordinary; at first glance, it was just a simple stone tablet, only slightly larger in size.
The tablet was carved with complex symbols, though it was unclear if they were script or something else.
Lightning flickered atop the symbols like thunderous script. Feng Ming stared at these symbols, becoming somewhat entranced.
In the next moment, he felt a strange suction force that abruptly pulled him into a space.
Coming to his senses, Feng Ming realized that his consciousness had been drawn to a prairie.
However, this place was engulfed in the flames of war. All around were blood-soaked warriors running wildly, and some were even lying on the ground, screaming in agony.
At first glance, it felt like the end of the world, but upon closer inspection, one would find that this wasn't an apocalypse but a battlefield.
Feng Ming stood to the side like a bystander, unable to participate at all. The warriors rushed back and forth, seemingly unable to see him.
They passed through Feng Ming's body time and again, charging into battle without fear of death.
Feng Ming was also curious about this: who exactly were these people fighting against?
Just then, a sudden clap of thunder exploded in the sky. Countless bolts of lightning, thicker than a man's thigh, wove into a massive net and swept toward the opposing side.
Instantly, the charging warriors all came to a halt. Then, a scene appeared that would be unforgettable for Feng Ming.
He saw the lightning bolts, as if they had eyes, skillfully avoiding the warriors who stood still.
Instead, they instantly blasted the charging enemy warriors into dust.
A mist of blood filled the entire sky.
Feng Ming saw all the soldiers around him turn toward their rear, kneeling on one knee and shouting a name.
"General Fenglei! General Fenglei!"
Those shouts were truly earth-shaking and soul-stirring.
Feng Ming turned to look.
On a cliff behind the army stood a figure. This person pointed a single finger toward the sky, and a thunderous mark on the finger shot straight into the heavens.
Clearly, the thunder from moments ago had originated from this person.
At this moment, Feng Ming also saw a flag beside the person. The flag fluttered, and three large characters were clearly visible on it.
"Thunder Army!"
Seeing these three characters, Feng Ming's entire mind trembled.
However, before he could investigate further, Feng Ming's consciousness returned to his body.
Yet, some long-buried information surfaced in his mind.
"Fenglei, the Thunder Army... so this tablet was actually left behind by him."
While thinking, Feng Ming suddenly discovered a brand-new power within his body.
It hung at the very bottom of the chaos tree, but that power was incredibly overbearing. Even the Way of the Blade he mastered, which was known for its dominance, chose to avoid its edge.
Feng Ming was somewhat dazed. As expected of the Chaos Body, he had actually comprehended the Way of Thunder so quickly.
It was too incredible; he had only taken a single look.
At this point, he didn't know whether to say his Physique was amazing or the thunder tablet was amazing.
Or perhaps, it was the effect of their powers combined.
Of course, this Fenglei's Way of Thunder was also terrifyingly strong.
Feng Ming was sensing the newly born power of the Way of Thunder within him.
Meanwhile, screams rang out one after another around him. He turned his head and saw many Disciples lying on the ground, spitting blood.
They must have been drawn into the world of consciousness by the power of the thunder tablet, just like him.
However, these people couldn't withstand the power of the thunder tablet and were forcibly kicked out of the world of consciousness.
Elder Pan and Lu Qianqian hurried to check on them one by one. Fortunately, Elder Pan had already given a warning beforehand, so their injuries were not too severe.
But everyone was quite shaken and deeply shocked. One by one, they scrambled up and hurriedly ran out.
Who cared anymore about whether they could comprehend the thunder tablet?
After the first group left, others also gradually woke up from their meditative states.
Feng Ming noticed that Jiang Shuwan was also fine, seemingly unaffected.
But he still asked with concern, "Wife, how are you?"
Jiang Shuwan said with a smile, "I feel like I've gained insights into a Cultivation Technique, but the time was too short, and I haven't fully comprehended it yet."
"I'll have to wait until tomorrow's test is over to try again. Husband, would you accompany me?"
Meeting Jiang Shuwan's expectant gaze, Feng Ming naturally couldn't bear to refuse.
"Alright."
In fact, Feng Ming also discovered that the thunder tablet held many secrets, but this time, he hadn't felt anything other than seeing the images.
Compared to Jiang Shuwan, the curiosity in his heart was even stronger.
Just as Feng Ming agreed, Elder Pan's voice rang out.
"Disciples who are fine can go with your Senior Sister Lu to find your quarters. Tomorrow morning is the test; don't be late."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Lu Qianqian immediately led those who were fine to follow her, and Feng Ming naturally took Jiang Shuwan and followed along.
Hearing Elder Feng's words, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xun Ruru immediately called out to those who were fine to follow her.
Feng Ming and the others didn't waste any words and naturally followed.
On the way, Feng Ming was a bit curious. Didn't they say the Lingxiao Sect had three important places?
Why had they gone to the first two but weren't going to the Lingxiao Pagoda?
Feng Mian said, "There's no need for the Lingxiao Pagoda. Only ten people can enter at a time. In other words, those who can enter are most likely the top ten Disciples of the Sect."
"Besides, it's just a pagoda. We wouldn't be able to enter even if we went, so what's there to see?"
Feng Ming suddenly understood.
At the same time, Jiang Shuwan was also asking Lu Qianqian about the thunder tablet.
"Sister Qianqian, why hasn't anyone spoken about the origin of this thunder tablet?"
Lu Qianqian smiled. "It's not that we don't want to tell, but rather that no one knows the origin of this tablet at all."
"The Sect Master did say that if someone could comprehend the secrets deep within the thunder tablet, they might be able to learn its origin."
Hearing this, Feng Ming laughed. "Does that mean I've comprehended the secrets deep within?"
Lu Qianqian was stunned. "What do you mean? You know its origin?"
Jiang Shuwan also looked over with a face full of curiosity.
Feng Ming nodded and spoke, "That's right. This tablet was left behind by Fenglei."
"Fenglei?"
Everyone was stunned.
"Who is Fenglei?"
No one had ever heard of this person.
Feng Ming said helplessly, "You guys should read more when you have the time. It's recorded in the historical records of the Bright Moon Dynasty. Fenglei was a powerhouse who performed great feats in the history of the founding of the Bright Moon Dynasty."
"In the early years, he followed King Haoyue to fight everywhere, making a huge contribution to the unification of the Bright Moon Dynasty."
Hearing this, Jiang Shuwan looked at Feng Ming with admiration. "Husband, you're so amazing. Not only are you strong and skilled in strategy, but you're also so knowledgeable. You're truly incredible."
Feng Ming gave a bitter smile. "It's mainly because I sat in a wheelchair for so many years; I didn't know what else to do besides read books."
Although it was the original owner who sat in the wheelchair for sixteen years, they were one person now and shared memories.
It was only natural for Feng Ming to know these things, though some memories were too old and required some prompts or stimulation to be recalled.
