Chapter 47: Thunderclap Cultivator
A crimson arc of light swept across mountains and rivers, followed closely by two dark shadows.
"Where do you think you're going!"
A wizard stretched out a hand, and thousands upon thousands of insects gathered into a huge black mass, swarming towards the Blood Gu Insect.
"Haha, got him!"
The two paused, their faces lighting up with delight as they looked at the captured Blood Gu Worm. Just as they were about to retract it, a bolt of purple lightning struck down from the sky.
The thousands upon thousands of insects scattered and fled as if they had encountered a natural enemy.
"This is [Thunderclap]!"
The two Foundation Establishment wizards were immediately alarmed and looked up warily.
Beneath the clouds stood a female cultivator, her long hair bound by a purple-gold crown, clad in armor, holding a longbow, her eyes gleaming with purple lightning, her body crackling with thunder and shimmering with purple light.
Her red lips parted slightly, and she spoke indifferently:
"I sensed this Blood Gu Worm from tens of thousands of miles away! Aman Royal Court, how dare you cross the line!"
The two Foundation Establishment wizards, looking at the female Foundation Establishment cultivator above them who was practicing [Thunderclap], broke out in a cold sweat and repeatedly exclaimed:
"No, no, I wouldn't dare."
"We also discovered the Blood Gu Worm and came here specifically to destroy it, not to use it for cultivation."
The Blood Gu Worm is a spiritual creature used to cultivate the Blood Qi lineage and break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
He needs to absorb the blood of countless people to reach adulthood and refine medicine. After completing the process, he still needs a thousand pairs of young boys and girls to nourish him each year.
The cultivation level increases extremely quickly, but it is also extremely cruel.
About three hundred years ago, this lineage was hidden by Yulin Mountain, and its transmission was cut off.
The two wizards lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the [Thunderclap], thinking to themselves:
"Damn it, why did [Yulin Mountain] move so fast!"
"After the destruction of the Thunder Palace, and the Thunderclap lineage being taken by Jade Forest Mountain, my lineage of witchcraft and sorcery has been under their constant surveillance!"
Just as the female cultivator was about to execute him with lightning, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted from the direction of Wuxi Mountain.
"Silver-white color, this aura... it's the [Divine Lightning] technique."
Her gaze sharpened, and she leaped toward Wuxi Mountain.
"Oh no, it's the royal court!"
The two wizards also noticed the commotion, and their expressions immediately changed.
The grand ceremony is in three days; we absolutely cannot allow any accidents to happen.
…………
Li Wu relied on numerous talismans, the Golden Mirror, and the Divine Thunder technique, which was inherently effective against witchcraft.
Although it took some time, they still managed to kill all the Qi Refining cultivators one by one.
They then arrived in front of the formation.
"This formation is at least at the Foundation Establishment level; could it be a treasure vault inside?"
Li Wu surveyed the area and realized that it would be impossible to break through on his own in less than two or three days.
But there simply isn't that much time for him right now.
"Luckily, there are quite a lot of people here."
Li Wu landed on the ground and searched the bodies of the Qi Refining cultivators he had killed. Sure enough, he found a jet-black token.
He placed the token on the formation, and the formation immediately cracked open, creating a gap large enough for one person to pass through.
"It really works!"
Li Wu's face lit up with joy, and he quickly went inside.
Behind the formation was a huge stone chamber; upon closer inspection, it was clear that at least half of the mountain had been hollowed out.
There are many spiritual objects inside, but most of them are evil things such as Gu worms, evil energy, and animal bones.
Li Wu frowned deeply upon seeing this:
"I don't have much time, so I should find the Spirit Willow as soon as possible."
After thinking it over, lightning crackled around him, and in an instant, he transformed into a bolt of lightning, darting around the treasure vault.
…………
As Pei Xiyan approached Wuxi Mountain, a sweep of his spiritual sense revealed the lingering aura of the thunder, and he also caught a glimpse of several other Foundation Establishment cultivators flying towards him.
He was also a shaman from Wuxi Mountain.
They were also heading in that direction.
Pei Xiyan pondered for a moment, then stopped, drew his bow, and an arrow formed from purple lightning slowly appeared.
"Hey!"
Accompanied by a clear, bird-like cry, the arrow flew straight away.
"Junior brother, get out of the way!"
One of the late-stage Foundation Establishment wizards sensed the intimidation behind him and quickly pulled his two junior brothers aside to hide.
"boom!!!"
The lightning arrow struck the mountain peak, causing it to tremble and scatter rocks. The shamans below scattered in all directions to escape.
"Amanwu, you allowed your junior brother to attempt to capture the Blood Gu Worm, what is your punishment!" Pei Xiyan questioned in a deep voice.
Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Amanwu was immediately terrified, thinking to himself:
"Why is she here!"
He quickly cupped his hands in greeting, forcing a smile:
"We detected the aura of the Blood Gu Worm and pursued it to destroy it, preventing it from falling into the hands of those with malicious intent. We hope Your Excellency will understand."
"Yeah?"
"Yes, yes, we would never dare to deceive the envoy."
Amanwu said this aloud, but inwardly he was cursing:
"The timing of this person's appearance is quite coincidental; I'm afraid the people in that treasure vault are also her people."
Thinking it over, he glanced sideways at the scorched ground in the forest and thought to himself:
"They're using lightning magic too... Yes... This is clearly their conspiracy."
"【Yulin Mountain】You've gone too far!"
Pei Xiyan stared at the three of them, but her spiritual sense was focused on the person in the treasure vault.
"It really is the [Divine Thunder] path, but isn't the [Jade Pivot Edict to Slay Scriptures] in the hands of the [Golden Axe Sect]? How could someone be cultivating it?"
She held these people captive for a full half hour, until a streak of silvery-white lightning disappeared into the distance, at which point she stopped and said:
"I will report this matter to the Mysterious Immortal."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Watching Pei Xiyan walk away, Aman trembled with anger:
"I won't let you fall into my hands!"
…………
Li Wu had traveled dozens of miles before gradually slowing down. Looking at the willow-twig-shaped spiritual object in the jade box in his hand, he thought to himself:
"This is the Spiritual Water Willow. Now that we have gathered the two main ingredients for the [Mysterious Thunder Water Storage] Pill, the next step is to find an alchemist to refine it into a pill."
However, Foundation Establishment level pills cannot be refined by ordinary alchemists.
"Do we really have to ask the Qi family for help?"
Li Wu frowned slightly; he didn't want to have anything to do with the Qi family anymore.
Just as Li Wu was pondering, he suddenly sensed a bolt of lightning approaching from behind.
They were moving at extremely high speeds, making it impossible to create any distance between them.
Li Wu had no choice but to stop and confront the situation head-on.
"Who is it?"
Pei Xiyan stopped, staring intently at Li Wu, scrutinizing him from head to toe, and chuckled softly:
"You cultivate the [Divine Thunder] path and refine the 'Jade Pivot Edict of Attack Scripture'?"
Compared to Pei Xiyan's relaxed and carefree demeanor, Li Wu appeared as if facing a formidable enemy, and said in a deep voice:
"Fellow Daoist, are you also a lightning-attribute cultivator? May I ask which lineage you follow?"
"Thunderclap".
Pei Xiyan answered first, and then said:
"You don't need to be nervous. In fact, we're kindred spirits."
"Tell me, where did you get this skill from?"
Li Wu thought for a moment and replied:
"I bought it from Xixiawu Market for forty spirit stones."
