107: The Law of Thunder is Complete

He had already handed over most of the treasures he had plundered from the Devil Kings in Yuzhou to Xuan Wei.

These resources no longer held much attraction for him, as his cultivation advancement relied entirely on Attribute Points.

Beyond that, he was only interested in spiritual treasures that could improve his Aptitude.

Collecting his thoughts, Xiao Zhuo once again began to painstakingly Cultivate the Law of Thunder.

Now that he had 84 million Attribute Points, he refused to believe he couldn't condense the final wisp of Law golden thread.

As the Law deduction began, Xiao Zhuo reappeared in the White Mist Space.

The Law of Thunder, formed by profound power, began to repeatedly re-enact the evolution process of the last golden thread.

His Heaven-Observing Divine Eye operated at its peak, reflecting every subtle change, both inside and outside the runes, onto his Divine Eye.

Attribute Points silently drained away.

After another two hundred Law deductions, he finally discovered the crux of the problem: he had previously focused too much on condensing the final wisp of Law golden thread and failed to observe the issues earlier on.

Among the ninety-nine previous Law golden threads, there were three nodes that weren't perfectly connected.

This subtle flaw, when the runes operated, prevented the final golden pattern from ever forming.

Xiao Zhuo gritted his teeth and stripped away all the golden threads that had appeared after the problem.

The Law progress instantly dropped to thirty-seven.

However, he didn't care.

At this moment, he had completely comprehended the evolution of the Law of Thunder. A large amount of Thunder Qi instantly surged into the space, and under Xiao Zhuo's Divine Sense control, it was injected into the Law of Thunder runes, causing the Law golden threads to continuously evolve.

This time, Xiao Zhuo was extremely careful. If there was even the slightest imperfection, he would immediately shatter the golden thread and start over.

The Law deduction had ended; Xiao Zhuo was merely using the White Mist Space to convert Attribute Points into pure Thunder Qi to fuel his evolution of the Law runes.

Finally, after consuming another three hundred thousand Attribute Points, the last wisp of Law golden thread was successfully condensed.

The entire Law of Thunder rune completely transformed into a pure golden divine script.

A terrifying aura of thunder emerged from Xiao Zhuo's body. After perfectly mastering the Law of Thunder, the Law power once again tempered his body. As the Law power poured back into him, the essence of Xiao Zhuo's Grand Beginning Glazed Indestructible Body subtly changed.

A prompt also popped up in the panel notification box.

"Detected host's Physique has undergone mutation. Physique category has been updated."

"Thunder Dao Body: An Acquired Dao Body born to perfectly wield the Law of Thunder. Comprehension Ability for cultivating thunder-element Cultivation Technique is doubled, cultivation speed is doubled, and power is doubled."

Golden thunder light on Xiao Zhuo's body slowly receded into his flesh.

He also completely left the White Mist Space and returned to his small courtyard.

His Divine Sense swept across the entire Yuyang Sect. Cuiyun Peak and the Enforcement Hall were draped in white silk. For the other fallen Disciples with families, their families had been notified to retrieve the bodies for burial. For those without, a grand memorial hall was set up in the Internal Affairs Hall for their funerals.

Xiao Zhuo arrived quietly, offered incense to the two elders and dozens of Senior Brothers, and then went to see Xuan Lun.

The two chatted for a long time. The current Xiao Zhuo was already capable of guiding Xuan Lun in his Cultivation, and Xuan Lun's cultivation had now reached Divine Sea Realm (Cultivation Class) Fourth Stage. In terms of combat power, he was even on par with Xuan Wei, who had just broken through to Divine Sea Realm (Cultivation Class) Ninth Stage.

Xiao Zhuo didn't leave until midnight.

Xiao Zhuo's Breakthrough was too rapid; only a few high-ranking members of the Sect had any interaction with him. As for the other Disciples, Xiao Zhuo had no particular feelings, even for Xuan Lun's other Disciples.

Leaving Xuan Lun's small building, Xiao Zhuo casually tore open space and stepped into it.

He reappeared in the Taiyi Sect.

In Taiji Hall, Immortal Master Azure Heaven detected the spatial fluctuation. As soon as he looked up, a golden thunder light had already appeared before him.

Xiao Zhuo emerged from the thunder light, smiling as he looked at Immortal Master Azure Heaven: "Senior! Junior has come to bother you again."

Immortal Master Azure Heaven, however, smiled and, with a wave of his hand, shifted space. Xiao Zhuo felt a surge of spatial power wash over him, but he did not resist.

As the surrounding scenery changed, the two had already arrived on a solitary peak within the Taiyi Sect's mountain gate.

From there, they could see the entire Taiyi Sect and the Wentian Peak (Heaven Questioning Peak) that soared into the clouds.

Not far away was a stone pavilion, with a set of jade tables and chairs inside.

Immortal Master Azure Heaven slowly walked into the pavilion. With a flick of his sleeve, a tea set appeared on the jade table.

"Sit!" Immortal Master Azure Heaven gestured with a raised hand, a faint smile on his face. "Have you come for that Dragon Corpse?"

Xiao Zhuo took his seat as instructed, but shook his head slightly: "That Dragon Corpse is secondary. Junior has come for a Disciple of the Taiyi Sect."

"Oh?" Immortal Master Azure Heaven showed surprise upon hearing this. "Could it be that among the Disciples who recently joined the Sect, there is an old friend of yours?"

Xiao Zhuo, however, showed a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, not answering immediately, but a look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes.

After a while, he said: "You could say that! Is there a young man named Xiao Shaoyou among the Disciples who joined this time?"

Immortal Master Azure Heaven's eyebrows raised when he heard the name: "What, is this child your old acquaintance?"

Xiao Zhuo noticed Immortal Master Azure Heaven's unusual reaction and was also a little surprised. Although Xiao Shaoyou had entered the martial Dao and for some unknown reason reached the Pulse Connecting Realm in just over a month, he shouldn't be important enough to attract the attention of a powerful figure like Immortal Master Azure Heaven. However, the other party's reaction clearly indicated that he was not unfamiliar with the name Xiao Shaoyou.

Still, he nodded and said: "Indeed, he has some connection to me. I wonder if he has already joined the Taiyi Sect?"

"This child has now been taken in by this old man as a True Disciple," Immortal Master Azure Heaven stated directly, looking deeply at Xiao Zhuo.

Xiao Zhuo was instantly stunned. Immortal Master Azure Heaven's True Disciple—this status for Xiao Shaoyou was an instant leap to the heavens. Could it be that Immortal Master Azure Heaven already knew about his relationship with the Xiao Family? But that didn't seem right either!

Numerous thoughts flashed through Xiao Zhuo's mind in an instant, but he rejected them all. Finally, he could only cast a questioning gaze at Immortal Master Azure Heaven.

Immortal Master Azure Heaven did not conceal anything, smiling faintly: "This child possesses an Innate Dao Body and astonishing Comprehension Ability. Although he was not among the top three in this trial, he still made it into the top ten, earning the Opportunity to comprehend our Sect's Sword Tomb. As soon as this boy entered, he comprehended a Heaven-Grade sword art from one of our Sect's Seniors. That's when I noticed him. A brief investigation revealed that this child possesses an Innate Dao Body; his path of Cultivation is bound to be smooth, and his future achievements will likely surpass my own."

Xiao Zhuo was dumbfounded upon hearing this. That fatty was actually a Genius? And a monstrous one at that? A Heaven-Grade sword art—even he would need to comprehend it for a long time to get started. How many hours had it been since this guy finished the trial today? Yet he had already comprehended a Heaven-Grade sword art?

Shaken, Xiao Zhuo shook his head slightly and chuckled, "Shao You and I grew up together since childhood. I never realized he had such talent. I originally wanted to ask Senior to look after him, but it seems there's no need."

Immortal Master Azure Heaven poured the freshly brewed tea for Xiao Zhuo, then poured a cup for himself, and took a sip: "Our Human Race is uniquely blessed, and Prodigies are always emerging. There are countless special Physiques, but many are overlooked because they are not discovered in time. After all, while these special Physiques are powerful, whether they Awaken depends entirely on Opportunity, and cannot be forced. Shao You's Physique Awakening should have been recent, otherwise he wouldn't still be lingering in the Marrow Cleansing Realm."

"Marrow Cleansing Realm?" Xiao Zhuo's hand, holding the teacup, paused slightly. "During the trial two days ago, he seemed to be around the Pulse Connecting Realm."

"He made a Breakthrough during the trial, and he Cultivates our Dao Sect's Innate Merit Primordial Chaos Stake, which also shows his affinity with our Taiyi Sect."

Xiao Zhuo silently put down his teacup, feeling a bit speechless. From the looks of it, the fatty was the protagonist's template. If he hadn't Transmigrated, perhaps the fatty would have been the Son of Destiny of this era.

However, he was also happy for the fatty. Perhaps calling him 'fatty' was no longer appropriate; that guy seemed to have successfully lost weight now.

After discussing Xiao Shaoyou, Xiao Zhuo and Immortal Master Azure Heaven chatted about the path after the Shattered Realm (Cultivation Class). Immortal Master Azure Heaven stated that he also didn't know; the Dao of Cultivation was vast and profound. Even completely mastering a Law rune only meant reaching the peak in a minor Realm like the Yuan Realm. As for the subsequent Realms, only a Senior's notes in the Taiyi Sect contained some records, stating that one would comprehend it after Cultivating the Primordial Chaos Golden Scripture to a certain extent.

And that Senior who left the notes had long since Shattered Realm (Cultivation Class) the Void Realm and departed, thousands of years ago.

Since he couldn't get information about the next Realm for the time being, Xiao Zhuo could only continuously verify his own knowledge with Immortal Master Azure Heaven, and both gained significant insights.

It wasn't until dawn that the two left the solitary peak.

Immortal Master Azure Heaven was preparing to dissect the Dragon Corpse and begin Artifact Refining.

Xiao Zhuo had already learned that this Dragon Corpse could not only be refined into many spiritual armors and spiritual weapons, but its blood, after removing the Devilish Qi, could also be refined into precious pills that greatly replenished Qi and blood and tempered the body.

Xiao Zhuo naturally became the designated tool for removing the Devilish Qi, and entered the Cloud Heaven Realm with Immortal Master Azure Heaven.
