360: Thunder Dao Body

"Hehe~"

The sturdy middle-aged man's words made Zhou Xiutong feel rather embarrassed.

One look at this person and it was clear he was no ordinary Cultivator; he might even be a Nascent Soul Venerable.

Yet, he was praising her like this.

"Little Friend, there is no need for that. Your talent is truly astonishing. If you continue to develop it, you might find unexpected gains."

The middle-aged man said with a smile.

Zhou Xiutong's heart stirred; this Senior definitely knew something.

However, after saying this, the middle-aged man had no intention of continuing.

Zhou Xiutong felt a bit depressed.

But after a moment, she stopped thinking about it.

"Senior, you said you do not cultivate Thunder Dao, so how could there be Thunder Dao Cultivators manifesting in the lower three levels?"

Suddenly, Zhou Xiutong thought of something and asked the middle-aged man.

"Haha, that is the function of the Legacy Tower here."

"It is not my doing."

The middle-aged man laughed and explained.

Zhou Xiutong nodded thoughtfully.

"Originally, according to the rules, since you passed four levels in a row and arrived here, you could receive my fundamental Legacy."

"However, what you cultivate is completely different from mine, so the Legacy would not be of much benefit to you..."

The middle-aged man frowned as he looked at Zhou Xiutong, falling into deep thought as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiutong was startled.

She wouldn't have come all this way with such effort only to gain nothing, right?

If that were the case, she would really be beyond tears.

"A Tier 5 Legacy! It doesn't matter if the attributes don't match!"

Zhou Xiutong shouted in her heart, but she didn't dare to reveal it.

After all, it was someone else's Legacy; if she acted like that, it might be counterproductive.

The middle-aged man's self-reference just now undoubtedly revealed that he was a Nascent Soul Venerable.

"I have it!"

Suddenly, the middle-aged man did not let Zhou Xiutong remain anxious for long; his eyes lit up.

"When I was traveling in other realms in the past, I obtained a remnant technique. Thinking about it today, it would be most suitable to pass it on to you."

A smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face.

He looked at Zhou Xiutong before him and pointed a finger.

"Hum~"

Light rose from his fingertip.

It entered Zhou Xiutong's mind.

Boom!

It was as if thunder had exploded.

Bolts of lightning manifested in Zhou Xiutong's Sea of Consciousness, stirring up turbulent waves.

Zhou Xiutong subconsciously wanted to resist.

But those manifested bolts of lightning gradually gathered and condensed.

They merged into several large seal characters containing endless Dao meaning.

"Thunder Dao Body!"

Zhou Xiutong murmured.

The four large characters for Thunder Dao Body slowly evolved.

It was as if heaven and earth had not yet separated, and the Universe was an expanse of Chaos.

Suddenly, divine lightning roamed within it, turning into a sea of Chaos lightning.

A purple figure, whose height was unknown, stepped out from the sea of Chaos lightning.

It seemed like the ancestor of thunder; the towering figure that stood between heaven and earth was entirely condensed from lightning, violent and domineering...

Boom!

Zhou Xiutong's mind shook violently as she became immersed in the imagery of the thunder's evolution.

Bolts of purple lightning appeared out of thin air.

They constantly condensed and expanded.

A towering phantom appeared and then vanished.

This repeated endlessly.

She did not know how much time had passed.

Zhou Xiutong came back to her senses.

She slowly exhaled.

"Thank you, Senior, for bestowing this technique!"

Zhou Xiutong stood up and respectfully thanked the middle-aged man who was sitting and drinking tea.

"No matter, those are the rules."

The middle-aged man waved his hand casually.

"Hoo~"

Zhou Xiutong felt joyful inside.

"Little Friend, your talent is indeed extraordinary."

The middle-aged man looked at Zhou Xiutong, whose aura had changed slightly, and nodded in praise.

"Senior, you are too kind."

"Senior, you mentioned earlier that you traveled to other realms. Are there other Worlds besides this one?"

Thinking of what the middle-aged man had said earlier, Zhou Xiutong feigned ignorance and asked the middle-aged man.

"Naturally. The Universe is infinite, and there are thousands of Worlds. In the past, there were more than five Major Thousand Worlds that had dealings with my Xuanhuang Great World."

"It is just, unfortunately..."

A flash of memory passed through the middle-aged man's eyes.

"Xuanhuang Great World..."

Zhou Xiutong's heart jolted; this was a name she had never heard before.

"Xuanhuang, Xuanhuang... could this be the predecessor of the Xuanyang and Xuanming Worlds..."

Thoughts swirled in Zhou Xiutong's mind.

"Senior, what happened afterwards?"

Zhou Xiutong asked further.

"Afterwards, afterwards, a powerful force from the Upper Realm discovered us."

"The war broke out..."

"After that, I do not know."

The emotions in the middle-aged man's eyes were complex and difficult to discern.

"However, since I can still exist today, I suppose those people did not succeed."

The emotions in the middle-aged man's eyes vanished.

He added this to Zhou Xiutong, who was stunned by his words.

"So that is how it was..."

Zhou Xiutong suddenly understood.

She knew many secrets.

Now, hearing the middle-aged man's words.

She had a guess in her heart.

The Xuanhuang Great World was discovered by forces from the Upper Realm, and a war broke out between them. She did not know what happened in the middle, but the Xuanhuang Great World split, turning into the Xuanyang and Xuanming Worlds. Perhaps there were other Worlds, but she did not know of them.

Then, the Xuanyang and Xuanming Worlds converged, a great war between the two Worlds ensued, and the Xuanming Realm invaded, only to be stopped by the Great Snow Mountain Sword Sect and many powerful experts.

Zhou Xiutong was unable to recover from her thoughts for a long time.

"I have embarrassed myself before you, Senior."

Zhou Xiutong slowly calmed down and then apologized to the middle-aged man.

"No matter."

He could understand Zhou Xiutong's shock.

Just like his own shock when the powerful experts from that ancient World descended to the Lower Realm back then.

But he was only a Divided Soul, remaining here just to leave behind his Legacy.

So, he knew nothing of what happened afterwards.

"Little Friend, it is time for you to leave."

The middle-aged man stood up and reached out to point at Zhou Xiutong; invisible ripples flowed between the green mountains and clear waters.

Perhaps because he had not spoken with anyone for too long, he had already said enough today.

"Please, Senior, tell me your name!"

An irresistible teleportation force came from the space around her, and Zhou Xiutong's body involuntarily flew up.

"I am Chong Yi."

The rough and steady voice went from loud to soft, but it still reached Zhou Xiutong's ears completely.

"Venerable Chong Yi..."

Zhou Xiutong noted down this name.

When she came to her senses again, her figure had already arrived outside the hundred-zhang high tower, located at the position of the fifth level high in the sky.

A huge oppressive force came from between heaven and earth; fortunately, she was already used to it, and she descended along with this force.

"Cough..."

"Mo Yan, you actually broke the contract."

Below the high tower.

A figure draped in blue dharma robes knelt on the ground, blood constantly spilling from the corners of his mouth, his aura weak.

Opposite the blue figure.

A Cultivator draped in black robes, with pitch-black markings on his face, emitted sky-high Devilish Qi.

"Hehe, so a Myriad Laws Pavilion Disciple can be this naive."

The Demon God Hall Cultivator named Mo Yan curled his lips, his mockery obvious.

"I gave you the Legacy I obtained, let me go..."

The blue figure kneeling on the ground felt cold in his heart.

He was not a naive person, it was just that when he came out of the ancient tower, it happened that Mo Yan from the Demon God Hall also came out of the ancient tower.

Mo Yan attacked without hesitation. Caught so off guard, even though he had defenses, he still lost the first move.

One wrong step led to every step being wrong; at this point, it was already beyond saving.

"What I want is everything of yours..."

Mo Yan pressed on step by step.

At this moment.

The tall ancient tower's light flickered.

A purple figure with loose hair descended from the sky.
