Chapter 149: The Nine Thunder Dragons

  Nine Thunder Dragon

  Zhou Yuan then returned to the Manor Master's residence with Liu Taibai, telling him everything that had happened in Yan Luo Di. When Liu Taibai heard about the disciples fighting over the Creation God Dan and the Gale Needle, resulting in severe casualties, his face was also filled with regret.

  "It's all our fault, the responsibility lies with us higher-ups. We shouldn't have brought out such precious treasures for you to fight over, even if it was to train you. But we never expected such heavy casualties. However, in the end, those two treasures ended up in your hands, which isn't so bad after all." Liu Taibai sighed.

  Zhou Yuandao said, "Master, didn't you say that the Demon Clan would appear in the depths of Yan Luo? But why haven't I even encountered a low-level heart demon?"

  "That's because there are so many of you, everywhere is filled with the aura of vigorous blood and energy. The heart demon is a thing of utmost yin and evil, it can't possibly appear in such a crowded situation." Liu Taibai explained.

  Zhou Yuan nodded slightly, indicating understanding.

  The master and apprentice chatted for a while longer, then Zhou Yuan stood up to bid farewell. He still had many things to attend to and didn't want to delay any further.

  At the time of departure, Zhou Yuan and Liu Taibai asked for a book on the breakthrough method of Lingkong Zhuxu Du Jingjie.

  After returning to his residence, Zhou Yuan met with Feng Ao Xue and soon fell into cultivation. He wanted to quickly refine the Nine Dragons Protective Body and also refine the Huahua Shen Dan, so that he could break through to the Lingkong Xuvu realm in one go.

  At that time, among all the disciples of Zhenwu Academy, he can enter an invincible realm, and even those who have achieved spiritual unity with their bodies cannot defeat him.

  "Chasing Star Severing Moon, Sacred Body Protection..." On Zhou Yuan's hands were two palm-sized papers that he had just written down the Chasing Star Severing Moon and Sacred Body Protection techniques. He was constantly comparing the two techniques.

  At this moment, Zhou Yuan's eyes shone with a gleam of wisdom, as he held the two scrolls in his hand and flipped through them continuously. The profound meaning of the two scrolls flowed through his mind, and a large amount of information also fed back into his sea of consciousness.

  By comparing and cross-referencing the two spells, they mutually verified and integrated each other, and Zhou Yuan's consciousness gradually became clear.

  "Unite!!" Zhou Yuan let out a low shout, as several bolts of lightning flashed rapidly within his body, intertwining and merging with each other. Finally, they gradually took shape as a winding, zigzagging dragon that coiled around Zhou Yuan, its jaws wide open as it continued to soar through the air.

  "Finally, a Thunder Dragon has been condensed. This Nine Dragons Protection looks like it's not that easy to cultivate after all. I've exhausted my entire body's yuan power and only managed to condense one Thunder Dragon. According to the scripture, it seems that each elemental mage cultivates a different Nine Dragons Protection. If I successfully cultivate the Nine Dragons Protection and condense nine Thunder Dragons, it would be called the Nine Thunder Dragons. If a fire-attribute mage cultivates it successfully, it would be called the Nine Fire Dragons. Although their forms are different, their essence is the same - they all use their own yuan power to cultivate nine dragons. In times of crisis, these dragons can sacrifice themselves to protect their master's safety."

  This thunder dragon kept flying around Zhou Yuan's body, occasionally letting out bursts of dragon roars, making some disciples living around Zhou Yuan feel terrified.

  Condensing this Thunder Dragon, Zhou Yuan exhausted all the yuan force in his body. He let the Thunder Dragon roam around his body continuously, while he himself fell into cultivation. The War God's Magic Classics secretly activated, absorbing a large amount of thunder-type yuan force, allowing Zhou Yuan's withered sea of consciousness to gradually show signs of life. His yuan force began to recover rapidly.

  Three hours later, Zhou Yuan recovered again, and as usual, he quickly condensed another Thunder Dragon. This repeated back and forth, consuming two days of time, until Zhou Yuan finally cultivated the Nine Dragons Shield Technique.

  "Nine Thunder Dragons!!!" Zhou Yuan let out a low shout, and immediately, his body emitted nine flashes of lightning, the sound of dragon roars rising and falling in succession. Nine identical thunder dragons swiftly swirled around Zhou Yuan's body, as if they were nine guardians protecting his safety.

  "The Nine Dragons' Protection Technique is indeed powerful. Each of the nine Thunder Dragons has a strength equivalent to that of a peak-stage Void-Transcending Realm cultivator. Compared to Shi Jue Ming, they are only slightly inferior. With the protection of these nine Thunder Dragons, even if I stand here and let Shi Jue Ming and Bing Jiutian attack, they will not be able to succeed. The nine Thunder Dragons all contain my will within their bodies. As soon as I move my thoughts, they can understand my intentions and unite together. Even if Shi Jue Ming and Bing Jiutian join forces, they will not be able to gain the upper hand and may even be defeated by the nine Thunder Dragons. Now, I truly possess the strength to rival a Void-Transcending Realm cultivator."

  Zhou Yuan's breath calmed down, and he withdrew the nine Thunder Dragons into his body. After adjusting his breath for a moment, he stood up and walked towards Feng Ao Xue's room.

  Knock knock knock...

  Feng Ao Xue knew it was Zhou Yuan, so he quickly opened the door for Zhou Yuan. At this time, it was already late at night, and Feng Ao Xue had fallen asleep. Looking at Feng Ao Xue's lazy appearance, Zhou Yuan couldn't help but have a surge of thoughts. He quietly closed the door, gently hugged Feng Ao Xue, and slowly moved towards the bedside.

  Feng Ao Xue seemed to know that she would eventually give herself to Zhou Yuan, and with a red face, she did not refuse. The two quickly entwined together.

  The next morning, the two woke up one after another. The intense entanglement of the previous night had exhausted their physical strength, but they were both powerful mages with extraordinary bodily strength, and they quickly recovered.

  Zhou Yuan smiled lightly and kissed Feng Ao Xue's forehead, "Get up, I'm about to refine the Huahua Shen Dan. I'll separate a portion of the medicinal power and have it enter your body, helping you break through to the Killing Life Tribulation realm. Later on, if I'm not by your side, you'll also have enough means to protect yourself."

  Feng Ao Xue nodded and came out of Zhou Yuan's arms, quickly getting dressed.

  The two of them meditated for a moment, adjusting their spirits to the best state. Then, Zhou Yuan flipped his palm over and that golden light flashing Creation God Pill was pinched between his five fingers.

  "This Creation Divine Elixir is a legendary pill, with an extremely potent medicinal effect. Even I couldn't fully absorb it, so the excess will flow into your body. This amount of medicinal energy is enough to help you break through to the Killing Life Boundary."

  Generally, the elixirs refined by the great abilities of the ancient times are extremely powerful. Even if Zhou Yuan's cultivation base is at the level of Ling Kong Virtual Crossing, he still can't fully absorb them, and the excess medicinal power will be wasted. Therefore, Zhou Yuan came up with a perfect solution - to transfer the excess medicinal power to Feng Ao Xue, which would also help her increase her strength.

  "Ah!!!” Zhou Yuan's finger flicked out, and the Creation God Pill immediately flew up, spinning rapidly without stopping, breaking free from Zhou Yuan's restraints. This Creation God Pill quickly wanted to rush out of the room, indeed a top-grade pill, it already had its own consciousness, knowing that Zhou Yuan wanted to refine it, so it wanted to escape.

  However, Zhou Yuan was no ordinary person. With one glance, he had grasped the idea behind the Creation God Pill. He raised his hands and conjured up a furnace of primordial energy, quickly enveloping the Creation God Pill within it. No matter how hard it struggled to break free, it could not escape.

  Zhou Yuan's hands produced a series of hand seals, which were the Dan Fa Xin Jing used to refine some extremely powerful elixirs. As the unique yuanqi hand seals entered the yuanqi furnace, the Cang Hua Shen Dan gradually calmed down.

  The Original Qi Furnace started rotating, and Zhou Yuan could see that a large amount of medicinal gas was emitted from the Cauldron Transformation Divine Pill, immediately making the interior of the Furnace blurry.

  Zhou Yuan pointed out that the creation divine furnace immediately opened a hole, and the medicinal power inside flowed into Zhou Yuan's body.

  Nourished by this medicinal force, Zhou Yuan's body and various functions began to rise wildly. His five senses, willpower, spirit, and Tianmen all started to expand rapidly, rushing towards the Lingkong Xuvirtual boundary at an extremely fast speed.

  Soon, Zhou Yuan's yuan power had condensed to its peak, and if he continued to gather it, Zhou Yuan felt that his body was about to explode. Apparently, at this time, if he couldn't break through the Lingkong Xuvirtual boundary, his yuan power would not be able to advance any further.

  "Primordial energy is shaking, void soaring!!!"

  Zhou Yuan let out a loud roar, and in his mind, the profound meaning recorded on the "Lingkong Xuvu Jingjie" breakthrough method he had obtained from Liu Taibai flowed slowly before him.

  Then, Zhou Yuan's sleeves wildly flapped up and down, and from the four billion pores all over his body, yuanqi burst out, creating a shockwave with the air. Zhou Yuan's body also slowly floated upwards.
