Yang Chen’s soul detection could clearly perceive that there was a crackling, continuously flickering ball of lightning hidden inside the old man’s corpse.
Looking at the lightning sphere, Yang Chen was ecstatic: “This is the Heavenly Thunder Origin, and it’s such a large one!”
What is Heavenly Thunder Origin?
It is the quintessence of thunder and lightning that is born innate during a thunderbolt.
However, it is very difficult for this essence to be born, to put it simply, it depends on fate. It is unknown how many years it would take for this thunder essence to be born. This thunder essence is called Heavenly Thunder Origin, an excellent treasure for cultivating thunder attribute techniques!
Of course, the initial Heavenly Thunder Origin is very small, only the size of a thumbnail.
Yang Chen guessed that the master of the corpse cultivated the thunder attribute technique during his lifetime and found the treasure of Heavenly Thunder Origin. Afterward, during his cultivation, with the nourishment of many years, the Heavenly Thunder Origin grew to the size of a fist with the irrigation of his True Qi!
This size could simply be regarded as a divine object.
If someone were to use this Heavenly Thunder Origin to cultivate again, the power of the cultivated technique would definitely increase layer by layer, several times more than the initial thumbnail size of the Heavenly Thunder Origin.
How could Yang Chen not be overjoyed upon seeing this?
Because after his Mixed Yuan Spear Technique reaches perfection in the Enemy Overcoming Style, the next step is the Thunderbolt Style.
The Thunderbolt Style he is cultivating just needs such a thunder attribute treasure to enhance his body. And this Heavenly Thunder Origin is the top-ranked thunder attribute divine object.
There is nothing more suitable for the Thunderbolt Style than this Heavenly Thunder Origin.
Initially, he was worried that an innate treasure of thunder attribute was difficult to find and unable to support his cultivation of the Thunderbolt Style. But what he wanted came just in time, and wasn’t this Heavenly Thunder Origin the best treasure for cultivating the Thunderbolt Style?
Yang Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart and respectfully said,
“Senior, I apologize!”
To take out this Heavenly Thunder Origin, he must destroy the old man’s corpse, which is an act of desecration.
But if he did not take it, someone else would sooner or later. So why should he make it easy for others?
Yang Chen was very careful in his actions, fearing that he would damage the corpse. Eventually, he took out the large piece of Heavenly Thunder Origin.
Everything went smoothly without any problems.
Yang Chen gratefully looked at the old corpse before him and said with regret,
“Senior, I am indebted to you for receiving this Heavenly Thunder Origin today. I don’t know how to repay this great favor. You are sitting here with your eyes open, as if you are unwilling to let go. I, as a junior, may not be able to help you in any other ways, but I can help you close your eyes and cover your body. It’s the least I can do as a member of the younger generation!”
After saying this, Yang Chen took out a piece of cotton cloth from his storage bag, covered the old man’s body, and then turned his wrist to close the old man’s eyes. He did what he could.
However, just as he was closing the old man’s eyes, suddenly, an unexpected change occurred.
A fine and barely discernible divine soul power suddenly condensed into a spirit shadow above the corpse.
In an instant, the corpse collapsed, turned into ashes, and disappeared without a trace.
“Young man of the later generation, after taking away the Heavenly Thunder Origin that I have cultivated for many years, you still remember to help me close my eyes. It can be seen that you have at least some gratitude in your heart!” The old man’s spirit shadow, formed by the gathering of his soul, said with a bright voice.
Yang Chen heard it clearly and exclaimed, “Junior Yang Chen pays his respects to senior. I am indebted to your great kindness and I would like to ask for your name!”
“Name… haha, I am already a dead person. I just can’t let go of my soul, which is why I left this spirit behind. If someone helps me close my eyes, this spirit will appear on its own and will disperse after a short while. However, since you want to know, I will tell you. I am the former sect leader of Canghai Sect, He Yunxiao!”
“Canghai Sect!” Yang Chen’s expression changed abruptly.
Canghai Sect was one of the three hegemonic forces in North Mountain County. In front of Canghai Sect, the Ming Emperor Sect and Taotu Sect were inferior. They were comparable to the Beishan Main City, the king of North Mountain County.
But this man was the former sect leader of Canghai Sect.
This status was enough to make people fearful. At least, he was already a top figure in North Mountain County.
Yang Chen couldn’t help but say, “Junior pays his respects to senior. However, I am quite curious about what consequences would occur if I had not helped you close your eyes.”
“Haha, you are a smart kid. If you didn’t help me close my eyes, it would be an ungrateful act. I don’t need you for that. The moment you step out of this door, the spirit power I left behind will instantly activate the prohibition in the stone chamber and strangle you!” He Yunxiao raised the corner of his mouth, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
This made Yang Chen take a deep breath.
It was really a life full of surprises.
Fortunately, he had some compassion and helped the old man close his eyes, otherwise, he might have died without knowing how.
Yang Chen hesitated for a moment, then said bitterly, “Senior, since you left this divine soul power, you should have some orders for me.”
“Orders? You are quite clever. But it’s just that I can’t let go. Do me a favor.” He Yunxiao said coldly: “Kid, I don’t expect you to do anything big for me. But since you have taken my Heavenly Thunder Origin that I have cultivated for many years, you must help me with one thing.”
“Senior, please speak.” Yang Chen smiled helplessly, knowing that nothing would be easy.
At least, this Heavenly Thunder Origin was not easy to obtain.
He Yunxiao spoke loudly, “I, the former leader of the Canghai Sect, have not much time left for my Divine Soul’s power, so I will make it short. I just mentioned that I am the former Sect Leader of the Canghai Sect. Humph, that’s because the current Sect Leader must have been usurped by that beast.” “What does senior mean by that?” Yang Chen was puzzled.
“Humph, that beast is my junior brother, named He Shangfeng. At that time, my Canghai Sect was in charge of guarding the Guardian Spirit Array in the Border Region of North Mountain County. This Array is the great formation that seals the demonic beasts and human martial artist groups. With your martial arts strength, you should not know this.” He Yunxiao said.
“Actually, I do know about this.” Yang Chen said awkwardly.
“You know?” He Yunxiao was somewhat surprised.
Yang Chen nodded.
What He Yunxiao mentioned, the Guardian Spirit Array, isn’t that the white mist barrier in the Inner Circle of the Monster Beast Mountain in the Great Wilderness where he lives?
So, that formation is called the Guardian Spirit Array.
He Yunxiao said coldly, “No matter how you know, as long as you know this, you should understand the harm that the demonic beasts pose to the human race. If the Guardian Spirit Array is opened, North Mountain County will be the first to be destroyed. By then, countless martial artists will be trampled by the demonic beast group, and a great war will be difficult to quell!”
“What does senior’s words have to do with you?” Yang Chen was still confused.
“Hmph, do you know that my traitorous junior brother betrayed the human race and colluded with the Fire Essence Beast Clan, attempting to break the
Guardian Spirit Array and release the Demon Beast group into our Human
Territory?” He Yunxiao cursed angrily, his hatred surging like a raging river..
