Chapter 334 Reunion with Lightning-Attracting Array, Heaven and Earth Grand Formation
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi suddenly understood.
No wonder this proud woman of heaven is so helpless in the way of divine sense.
Dual cultivation technique? Soul damage?
If it were someone else, they might be at a loss.
However, given the resources and means at his disposal, it's not impossible to give it a try.
However, since the two are not yet close, it would be presumptuous to rashly request to examine the depths of one's soul, which is an extremely private matter. It would also easily expose one's unusually strong spiritual power.
Chen Yi suppressed the thoughts swirling in his mind, revealing only a hint of regret on his face.
"What's the name of that secret technique? Perhaps if we encounter Silver Horn again when we enter the Black Mountain Secret Realm in the future, I can help you find out."
"The Void Silver Divine Intercourse Technique," Yuan Lingling replied casually, not holding out much hope.
Chen Yi nodded slightly and memorized the five words.
Yuan Lingling stood up, patted off non-existent dust from her skirt, and bowed to Chen Yi.
"I benefited greatly from today's discussion with Fellow Daoist Chen. The bottleneck that has troubled me for years seems to be loosening."
Her face regained its bright and confident smile: "If Fellow Daoist Chen has the time in the future, you are welcome to visit my Hongfeng Cave. My master, True Lord Hanshan, enjoys befriending talents in the path of immortals and martial arts, and will certainly be happy to exchange ideas with you."

"Since you have invited me, I will certainly pay you a visit if the time is right," Chen Yi said, rising to return the greeting.
Yuan Lingling said no more, turned around and transformed into a silver streak of light, instantly disappearing into the horizon.
Chen Yi stood still, his gaze piercing through the layers of clouds, staring at the direction where the silver light had disappeared, remaining motionless for a long time.
Breaking down the barriers of this world is too difficult for him alone.
Ji Wuchen, Ning Bu'er, Yuan Lingling, and others are all key pieces for breaking the deadlock in the future.
But now—
Chen Yi withdrew his gaze, a cold glint flashing deep in his eyes.
You have to walk one step at a time, and eat one bite at a time.
The stumbling blocks in front of us haven't been cleared away yet.
Those bald monks at Jingang Temple, those old fogies from the second branch of the Ji family, and those old relic hiding in dark corners, clinging to old rules.
Whether for their own sake, or for Aunt Xuanyin and Ning Bu'er, these behemoths must be moved.
Chen Yi slowly closed his eyes.
Deep within his consciousness, his near-fifth-order divination ability quietly began to operate.
There were no earth-shattering phenomena, only countless causal lines that he could see intertwining, breaking, and reforming in the void.
A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a deep black light was reflected in his pupils.
The next ten years will be peaceful and uneventful.
This is his prime developmental period.
But ten years later—
The divination indicates that Qingfeng Ridge will face a calamity.
The calamity was not directed at his killing of Yuanzhen; the end of the causal chain pointed directly to Xuanyin and Ning Bu'er.
The Vajra Temple aims to nip the growing threat of the Nine Yin lineage in the bud.
A cold smile curled at the corner of Chen Yi's lips.
Let's see ten years from now, whether the bald monk's Vajra Kung Fu is harder, or the little aunt's demonic flames are stronger.
He turned and walked deeper into the cave, a sound transmission talisman burning out at his fingertips.
"Auntie, Fuji, tidy up."
"Go and lure Lei Feng."
"We are going into seclusion."
Give him another twenty or thirty years.
Once we obtain a near-fifth-tier or even fifth-tier Thunder Spirit Fruit, and once we have completely refined the essence of the Unparalleled Demon Flame.
With the three of them working together, what is there to fear even if the Vajra Temple comes out in full force?
The flying boat broke through the sea of clouds, and Ning Bu'er's fingertips were wrapped with a wisp of dark red high-level demonic flame.
Flames danced between his fingers, scorching the surrounding air and producing a series of extremely faint popping sounds.
She needs the essence of thunder.
Only the most violent and purest lightning can act as a whetstone, gradually removing the impurities from this wisp of demonic flame until the most essential essence is refined out.
Chen Yi had promised that he would obtain the near-fifth-tier Demon Flame Origin from Silver Horn in twenty years.
Ning Bu'er lowered her eyes, her fingers unconsciously tightening.
She must lay a solid foundation within these twenty years; otherwise, once that near-fifth-tier demonic flame enters her body, all that awaits her is annihilation.
Xuan Yin Fairy stood at the bow of the flying boat, her skirt fluttering in the strong wind.
She recalled her first retreat at Leifeng Pagoda several years ago.
That was the first time she tasted the sweetness of the Thunder Spirit tempering the demonic flame.
At that time, Chen Yi was mostly focused on consolidating his own realm, so the amount of lightning spirit power he could allocate to her was ultimately limited.
This resulted in her wisp of primordial demonic flame, although its quality barely reached the peak of the fourth tier, being only the size of a palm.
In battles at the late Nascent Soul stage, this amount of resources is extremely limited and will be exhausted after a few rounds of bursts.
This time, Chen Yi's proactiveness exceeded her expectations.
Xuan Yin Fairy's tense back relaxed slightly.
All these years of unconditional devotion, even using her own essence to conceal Chen Yi's aura, isn't this the moment she's been waiting for?
She silently estimated Chen Yi's current level of Thunder Spirit Body Refinement.
In her view, as long as Chen Yi can maintain the previous rate of increase, and with the favorable timing and location of the Thunder Peak, the demonic flames within her body are expected to fully advance to the peak of the fourth tier.
As for that wisp of core essence, it can even offer a glimpse into the threshold of the near-fifth rank.
She didn't dare to think any further.
The bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage remains an insurmountable barrier for her.
The flying boat left a long white trail in the air, heading straight into the depths of the Monster Mountain Range.
Chen Yi stood in the center of the deck, his eyes slightly closed, and the near-fifth-order hexagram in his sea of consciousness was slowly rotating.
Go and lure Lei Feng.
This is an auspicious sign given by the divination. If it were a hundred or two hundred years later, the opportunity there might have changed.
Half a day later, the escape light of the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator had already swept over the mountain ridges.
We've arrived at Leifeng Pagoda.
The massive mountain, like a heavy sword piercing the sky, stands proudly among the mountains.
Chen Yi opened his eyes, and a faint golden light appeared deep in his pupils.
The all-seeing eye.
The world in my field of vision instantly collapsed.
The perpetually dark clouds are no longer a somber, leaden gray, but a giant net woven from countless dancing blue threads.
In his eyes, those deafening thunderbolts transformed into extremely complex runes of the Thunder Spirit Origin.
These runes are not random, but follow some grand law, slowly moving through the void.
Chen Yi's breathing stopped for a moment.
This is not a naturally formed lightning field.
This is a super-large lightning array that covers the entire Central Plains and even includes the Monster Mountain Range.
The Thunder Peak is merely an outlet, or rather, a base, of this grand array of the fifth rank or higher.
Just how powerful was the Thunder Soul Sect tens of thousands of years ago?
A single formation controls the immense power of heaven and earth across millions of miles.
He was as insignificant as a speck of dust in the face of such power.
Countless gold and blue runes flashed across my retina.
Chen Yi tried to analyze the structure of these runes, but felt a series of stinging pains in his sea of consciousness.
That was a response that exceeded the limits of what the soul could bear.
Just as he was about to look away, a rune located at the core of the array flashed by.
That shape, that twisted and violent rhythm—
The core of the Void Thunder Soul Talisman in the ancient battlefield.
There is a subtle connection between the two.
Chen Yi frowned. With his current level of cultivation, he couldn't even imitate one ten-thousandth of the Soul Thunder Rune Source, which had a core level as high as the fifth rank.
However, these may be the directions for his subsequent cultivation of the Thunder Spirit Origin, including the Soul Thunder Natal Rune.
He memorized each one, comparing them with his own natal thunder talisman. Gradually, he corrected his cultivation path.
The three people hovered in the air.
Chen Yi spent nearly an hour observing the lightning array until he confirmed its exact location and fluctuation patterns.
With our current strength, refining this great formation is pure fantasy.
He looked at the two women, his voice calm.
"Let's go in."
Fairy Xuan Yin kept staring at Chen Yi's profile.
She sensed Chen Yi's deep contemplation and the aura of resonance with the thunder spirit of heaven and earth, which inexplicably aroused a sense of awe in her heart.
I don't know when it started, but this great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage was actually willing to listen to the arrangements of this hundred-year-old youth.
She nodded and pressed down the escape light.
The cave at Thunder Peak was shrouded in a late-stage fourth-tier lightning spirit defensive array.
Blue-purple arcs of electricity wove into a fine net in the air, and any external influence would trigger the rage of thunder.
A burst of lightning flashed around Chen Yi, and he merged directly into the formation without causing the slightest ripple.
Ning Bu'er activated the Thunder Crystal Marrow, and a layer of light blue light enveloped her.
She gritted her teeth, stared at the crackling lightning, and forced her way inside.
However, the Xuan Yin Fairy, who had the highest cultivation level, remained at the edge of the lightning array.
"You all rest first. I'll temper my demonic flames in this lightning array for a few days."
She looked at the two of them, her tone indifferent.
Although the basic lightning in the lightning array was violent, it was just right for her to use to remove the impurities from the demonic flames.
Chen Yi didn't need to do this basic work himself.
More importantly, she glanced at Ning Bu'er.
This young disciple has been by Chen Yi's side for so many years, yet she still remains a virgin.
As her master, she felt she should give these two young people enough space.
Chen Yi didn't say much; this tacit understanding didn't need to be spoken.
He led Ning Bu'er into a hidden cave deep within Leifeng Pagoda.
The cave was cold and damp, with only a few streaks of lightning occasionally seeping through the cracks in the ceiling.
Chen Yi skillfully tossed several array materials into the corner.
Before long, lightning flashed, and a semi-transparent lightning array rose from the ground.
Ning Bu'er stood aside, silently watching Chen Yi busy himself.
She reached out and unbuttoned her outer garment, revealing a black short dress underneath.
The skirt was very short, barely covering the top of the thighs, and the edges were embroidered with dark red patterns.
Her long, slender legs were encased in black silk stockings, and a pair of small black leather boots made a soft sound as they stepped on the cold stone slabs.
Chen Yi reinforced the center of the minefield.
The originally simple stone platform was covered with soft animal hides and surrounded by high-grade lightning crystals, making it look like a luxurious yet eerie bed.
Ning Bu'er pursed her lips and walked over without saying a word.
She lay on the animal skin, her body slightly tense.
Her eyes were closed, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.
She was waiting for Chen Yi to implant the Thunder Crystal in her.
Although she had repeated this process countless times, and although she knew every step by heart.
But within this secluded cave, amidst the teeth-grinding buzzing of the thunder array, she still felt a certain oppression.
Chen Yi stepped into the cage and turned off the formation with a backhand.
The spiritual energy of lightning in the air instantly became thicker, and a sense of oppression came from all directions.
Ning Bu'er finally opened her eyes.
She looked at Chen Yi's fingers, where a dazzling spark of lightning was gathering, and wanted to ask: "How's the search for that dual cultivation technique involving soul and lightning going?"
But whether out of shyness or fear, she ultimately didn't say those words. "Since Chen Yi promised, he'll do it. I'll just wait. A girl can't always be so proactive."
Inside the lightning cage, the air became viscous due to the high concentration of lightning spiritual energy, and tiny arcs of electricity silently moved through the void.
Chen Yi stood by the couch, his gaze fixed on Ning Bu'er.
The black short dress had an extremely close-fitting cut, and the silk fabric gleamed with a cold, dark sheen under the lightning.
The hem of her skirt barely covered the top of her thighs, and as she lay down, the edges rolled up slightly, revealing a section of delicate, ivory-white skin.
Ning Bu'er's legs were long and straight, with lines extending downwards from her waist, creating a breathtaking silhouette.
Black stockings tightly hugged her calves, and due to the static electricity in the lightning strike, the extremely thin silk fibers clung to her skin, revealing the original rosy color of her skin underneath.
Her ankles were extremely thin, sinking into soft animal hide; her leather boots had been removed before entering the formation.
His toes were slightly curled, the arch of his instep was tight, and his skin, due to years of practicing thunder magic to temper his body, had an almost transparent texture, and one could even see the faint blue veins under his skin.
Chen Yi's self-light moved upwards along her side.
The skirt is very narrow at the waist, outlining a slender silhouette.
Her breathing was slightly rapid, her chest heaving beneath the black fabric, causing the graceful line of her neck to tremble.
Because the temperature inside the cave was extremely low, her exposed shoulders trembled slightly, and tiny particles appeared on the surface of her skin. It was a physiological shiver, but under the outline of lightning, it added a sense of fragility.
Chen Yi composed himself, and the lightning that condensed at his fingertips did not dissipate, but instead flickered uncertainly.
"The core of the dual cultivation of soul and lightning lies in the soul, not the body."
In the ancient battlefield, I obtained a part of a certain direction of the Thunder Soul Technique. I have deduced it many times in my sea of consciousness. Among them, there are still a few broken runes in the part about the fusion of divine souls.
However, it shouldn't be long.
Although Ning Bu'er didn't ask, Chen Yi still gave an explanation.
As Chen Yi spoke, he leaned down and hovered his fingers above Ning Bu'er's lower abdomen.
Ning Bu'er smiled, loosening her hands that were resting on her lower abdomen, as if letting Chen Yi do as he pleased.
Black dress, stockings, lining, bodice—then, like peeling an onion, Chen Yi removed Bu Er's clothes one by one, leaving only a palm-sized piece of fabric covering the place that exuded the fragrance of a virgin.
"Be careful, the quality of this Thunder Crystal Marrow will be very high. If you can't handle it, tell me."
The crystal marrow in Chen Yi's hand shone brightly, and the seven hundred strands of lightning crystal marrow, carrying the extremely concentrated and powerful lightning spirit source power, pressed towards Ning Bu'er's smooth and firm lower abdomen.
