Fengyunlu

"How can you catch a big fish without giving it some bait?" Lei Gong glanced at Jiu You calmly and said this slowly, his tone full of confidence.

Jiu You, however, had a face full of doubt. His sharp eyes were fixed on Lei Gong, as if he wanted to find some flaws in his expression: "I will never mistake the aura of the True Spirit on this kid."

Lei Gong smiled lightly, with a hint of mystery in his smile, and he didn't seem to intend to explain anything. He just shook his hand, and the power of thunder on his body disappeared. Outside the cage, Feng Chen's figure slowly appeared.

"How is this possible..." Jiuyou was unwilling to believe that Fengchen was fake at this point, but he was trapped, so he had to accept it even if he was unwilling.

However, he couldn't help but ask the question in his mind: "I've been staring at this kid, how did you change it?"

"No need to change, both are real." Lei Gong said, turning his gaze to Feng Chen with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Are they all true?" Jiuyou was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Fengchen, looking him around with a vague gaze, as if trying to tell the truth from the false.

After a moment, he nodded as if he suddenly understood something: "Yes, I should have thought of it earlier. All the skills of that kid surnamed Feng come from the Divine Pot. How could he not be able to hide his aura?"

After saying that, Jiuyou laughed at himself, and then snorted coldly: "Humph, I just didn't expect this kid to be able to transform his spirit into emptiness and produce a second soul. Humph! This matter is most likely that the Golden Crow went back on its word..."

Before Jiuyou could finish his words, Lei Gong waved his hand and the cage was immediately sealed tightly without a single gap.

This time, Jiuyou couldn't escape at all.

Once the hidden danger was removed, Feng Chen hurried forward and said, "Uncle Lei, should we wait for a while or continue with the body training?"

"No rush." ​​Lei Gong said, turning around and stepping back. The seal on his hand changed, and his movements became smooth and fast.

The cage that trapped Jiuyou floated up, and at the same time, the platform below also slowly rose. When all four sides were aligned with the center of the altar, the platform stopped, then opened an octagonal gap and swallowed the cage, then slowly descended and returned to its original state.

At this time, Lei Gong's figure floated and landed on the high platform. He slammed his palm downwards, and with the power of thunder in his hand, he cast a seal. The seal was like a huge electric net, wrapping the entire cage tightly.

Then he glanced around and exchanged glances with the eight statues until a divine light appeared in the eyes of the eight strange beasts. Then he withdrew his gaze. The eight strange beasts seemed to be endowed with life. Their eyes flashed with strange light, as if they were guarding this sacred place.

Afterwards, Lei Gong stood still. After a while, a strong wind blew continuously on the altar. The wind was mixed with divine thunder. Countless lightning flashed straight at the eight strange beasts. They seemed to be absorbing this powerful force, and the entire altar was shaking because of it.

Fengchen was watching from the side. Although he didn't know why this happened, he didn't ask. He just waited quietly under the platform, his eyes full of awe and anticipation.

After a long while, the thunder stopped and the wind died down.

Lei Gong turned around again, looked at Feng Chen with a puzzled look, and said, "This altar cannot be used anymore. After we seal Jiuyou, Uncle Lei will try another method with you."

After he finished speaking, he landed gracefully on the ground. Feng Chen hurried forward and said, "I didn't expect that this altar could seal Jiuyou. No wonder Uncle Lei asked me to secretly release my spirit and transform. It turned out that I wanted to lure him here so that I could seal him."

“That’s right. This altar is called the Eight Desolate Chariot. It’s an ancient divine weapon. It was formed after our ancestor slew eight strange beasts and then transformed here. It was then forged by divine thunder and infused with my own energy.” Lei Gong said as he took Feng Chen to look around, his voice full of respect for his ancestor.

Finally, he pointed and said, "But our ancestors were righteous and did not wipe out the true spirits of the eight beasts. They just let them sleep here and transform into their true forms, which are the statues on the eight stone pillars. Later, our ancestors passed away and died in the thunder pool with hatred in their heart. This Eight Desolate Chariot was left here for future generations to refine their bodies."

Feng Chen was so surprised that he couldn't help saying, "So it has such a deep origin. No wonder the eight strange beasts seemed to come alive before. I thought they were not dead."

“To be honest, I had not originally planned to use this method. After all, it is a relic of our ancestors and I need to use it to refine my body. But Jiuyou tried to escape several times and we couldn’t catch him. Plus, he had the Tongtian Talisman in his hand, and I was worried that if I missed, it would alert the enemy, so I had to lure him here.” Lei Gong shook his head as he spoke. He seemed a little reluctant and a little disdainful, but he had to do it. His eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and determination.

Fengchen knew clearly in his mind that since Jiuyou was imprisoned in this place, the disciples of our Pili Hall would face many difficulties when they practiced physical training in the future.

When he thought of this, he felt guilty and a little worried: "Uncle Lei, this treasure has trapped Jiuyou, so what should we do with our future body training?"

Lei Gong understood his concerns and interrupted him directly: "Don't worry, the body training in the Thunder Pool is a challenge in itself. How can we rely solely on this altar? Besides, without it, we still have other ways."

After saying that, Lei Gong walked forward, patted Feng Chen on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Okay, don't think too much now, we have to seal this place off completely first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Gong moved his feet lightly, and the sound of wind and thunder rang out again. A light force lifted Feng Chen up and let him leave the altar. Lei Gong followed closely behind and arrived at the thunder pool.

Feng Chen watched Lei Gong's movements and saw that he moved both his hands at the same time, and moved the twelve zodiac seals one by one. Finally, his hands were fixed on the meridian and met in front of his chest.

At this time, Lei Gong's eyes became firm. Two seals, sandwiching his true energy, turned into a small spiritual spell. The spell was round like a pearl and as black as ink. It just floated in front of Lei Gong's eyes.

Lei Gong grabbed the magic spell, twisted it on his fingertips, bent his middle finger, and flicked it lightly. The magic spell flew out and headed straight for the altar.

When the Eight Desolate Chariot was stimulated, it paused for a moment, then suddenly moved, emitting a dazzling light, forcing back the divine thunder. Then the light shone in all directions and merged into a yellow ball of light, which was still flickering there.

Fengchen opened his eyes wide and could only vaguely see the eight strange beasts in the light howling towards the sky. Then they seemed to come alive again, jumping down from the stone pillars, landing on the edge of the platform, standing in eight directions, and then exploring forward with their own magical powers...

pop~

At this moment, the altar began to slowly close from eight directions, sealing off the situation inside so that people outside could no longer see it.

Rumble~

With a burst of thunder, the altar began to shrink slowly, and the light became more and more dignified. Finally, it kept changing and turned into a palm-sized ball of light, which slowly floated towards Lei Gong. When it arrived in front of him, he stretched out his hand to catch it, and the ball of light fell into his palm. After a moment, the light dissipated, revealing its true appearance.

Feng Chen leaned over to take a closer look and saw that Lei Gong was holding a small bronze sedan in his hand. The sedan was carved with patterns of dragons and phoenixes and the four seasons. Eight strange beasts were lifelike in the wind, rain and thunder. They were positioned in front and behind the sedan, tied by ropes, as if ready to set off at any time.

"It's just that the fragment can't be retrieved." Lei Gong seemed a little regretful. He weighed the Eight Desolate Chariot and then put it in his pocket.

Feng Chen heard this and said, "Don't worry too much, Uncle Lei. I am now in the body of the Yuanshen, and I also have a second Yuanshen. After the body is refined and the meridians are connected, I am afraid that I will not be able to defeat Jiuyou in the future. It will not be too late to take back the fragments by then."

Lei Gong nodded in agreement: "Yes, you will definitely achieve great things in the future, and no one can match you. But now you have to remember to keep a low profile. No matter who you are facing, you must remain vigilant and don't reveal your background easily. This will protect yourself and prevent others from calculating."

Feng Chen certainly understood this principle. His innate spirit was prone to attracting envy. Although not many people knew about it, once the news spread, he would never have peace.

In addition, his body and soul are now united, and there is no problem with his primordial spirit body. A second primordial spirit appeared before. As long as his meridians are connected, he will have extraordinary talent and possess the strengths of many families. There are also rumors that he is involved in many top secrets.

If this news gets out, even with the protection of his grandfather, Emperor Cang Yun, he may not be able to be saved. After all, those rumors are too shocking, and human hearts are unpredictable. Who can resist it?

"Thank you Uncle Lei for the reminder. I'll remember it." Feng Chen said gratefully.

Lei Gong said again: "Just remember it, get ready, Uncle Lei will personally help you refine your body with the power of the formation later."

"What do you mean?" Feng Chen was stunned, and then he turned around and realized: "Are you saying that you want to help me refine my body on behalf of the altar?"

"Almost. But don't worry. My disciples who can enter the Thunder Pool are at least Heavenly Level. For people like you who have never practiced, Uncle Lei will personally help. Even if others are almost there, there are other ways. It's just that they are not suitable for you." Lei Gong knew that he had misunderstood and hurriedly explained.

After listening to this, Feng Chen suddenly realized: "So that's it, I thought I was in trouble again."

"Haha." Lei Gong smiled and then said, "Okay, Uncle Lei will be back soon." After that, without waiting for Feng Chen to respond, he turned around and disappeared.

Feng Chen had no choice but to wait where he was, but the thunder pool was so dangerous, so he quickly used the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Art to protect his whole body.

I don’t know how long it took, but the long night finally passed.

A beam of light rises slowly from the distant east, neither fast nor slow, and as gentle as water.

Like a loving mother, gently caressing the endless dust on the earth, slowly coming to the top of Thunder Mountain, and gently lifting the veil of night.

The stars gradually faded, and Fengchen looked up at the thick cumulus clouds outside the thunder pool.

Lightning flickered faintly in the purple-red clouds, as if struggling, or restless, beating the dusty past.

The light passed through the gaps in the clouds and through the countless divine thunders in the thunder pool, shining on Fengchen's face and his thin body.

Suddenly, a warm current came from nowhere and flowed slowly through the body.

Fengchen couldn't help but feel a sense of enjoyment and closed his eyes unconsciously.

The long-lost warmth is like the embrace of my mother when I woke up one night, or the expected figure slowly returning in the snow, or the courtyard where we played leisurely, and the little face that always followed behind...

As he thought about it, Fengchen couldn't help but laugh. He didn't know whether it was the warmth of the past that broke the three-year ice, or his hard work that broke through the bumpy mud.

In short, after three years, he finally saw hope.

This ray of light is hard to come by.

For a long time, Feng Chen didn't want to move at all. He was completely immersed in the moment. Even the operation of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Art seemed to have stopped. He didn't even notice that the thunder power had arrived long ago.

"That's right. If you stretch it too tight, it will easily break." Lei Gong watched for a long time without interrupting him. He just crossed his hands in front of his chest and waited.

After a while, Fengchen's breath gradually recovered, his mind slowly focused, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"My nephew was distracted just now. Why didn't Uncle Lei call me?" Feng Chen said embarrassedly when he saw Lei Gong next to him.

"It's good to relax occasionally. There's no need to rush." ​​Lei Gong floated over with a smile.

Feng Chen quickly concentrated his mind and used the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Technique to resist the Purple Sky Divine Thunder which had become somewhat agitated due to the influence of the surrounding Qi.

"As expected of an innate spirit, you look quite capable." Lei Gong praised.

Fengchen was a little embarrassed when he was praised: "Uncle Lei, you are too kind."

After that, he took the opportunity to ask, "Should we start now, or should we make some preparations first?"

"No hurry, wait for your uncle Lei to complete the formation." Lei Gong waved his hand and started to act.

When Feng Chen heard this, he thought to himself, I have indeed caused trouble, but he did not say much. He just made up his mind to practice harder in the future so that he could make up for it as soon as possible, and then stared at Lei Gong intently.

At this time, Lei Gong turned around and took out eight small flags from his sleeves, in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and almost white.

The eight command flags were separated to the left and right by Lei Gong. Four on each side were clamped between his fingers. Then he crossed his arms in front of his chest and muttered something.

Not long after, the thunder skill was finished, and the eight command flags began to emit fluorescent light. The light became brighter and brighter, so bright that one could not open his eyes.

Lei Gong bent his hands and threw them again. The eight command flags shot into the thunder pool like eight rays of light and disappeared.

Rumble~

After waiting for a moment, the thunder pool suddenly shook, and the divine thunder surged abnormally, just like countless hungry wolves finally found the fat meat, fighting and biting each other, and gradually entangled with each other.

The thunder became tighter and tighter, the roar became louder and louder, until finally, the entire thunder pool began to roll up waves, rushing like boiling water in a hot pot.

After a while, Lei Gong felt that the time had come. He raised his index finger in front of his chest and uttered the word "凝" and then the word "定".

Thousands of divine thunders suddenly stopped, slowly restrained their ferocity, and began to slowly retreat.

As the divine thunder receded, Feng Chen felt a faint pressure coming from the depths of the thunder pools all around him. At the same time, a feeling of tension from the inside to the outside suddenly appeared, as if he was facing a powerful enemy, slowly approaching.

Fengchen took a deep breath. He knew that the next test would be even more severe, but he also understood that only by passing these tests could he truly grow and live up to Uncle Lei's expectations and his own efforts over the years.
