"Divine Heaven Thunder Stone."
Gazing at the peculiar thunder stone in his hand, which emitted faint currents of electricity, Mo Yu froze momentarily. Then, his face lit up with astonishment and delight.
The Divine Heaven Thunder Stone was a unique item on the continent of Mo Yu's previous life, formed in a forbidden land of thunder after centuries of brewing. Only by absorbing the essence of countless lightning strikes over millennia could it condense, holding terrifying thunder energy within.
Of course, its energy alone wasn't what delighted Mo Yu. The Dou Qi Continent had no shortage of treasures containing thunder energy, and many were more powerful.
What truly excited Mo Yu was that the Divine Heaven Thunder Stone was linked to the "Divine Heaven Thunder," ranked last on the Thunder Soul List.
Divine Heaven Thunder, ranked 13th—essentially the lowest—in the Thunder Soul List, could only be nurtured from thousands of Divine Heaven Thunder Stones. Because it originated from these stones, the Divine Heaven Thunder contained the continent's source power of thunder and was incredibly potent.
However, its incredible potency was only relative to ordinary thunder. Like the Mysterious Yellow Flame, ranked last on the Heavenly Flame Rankings, the Divine Heaven Thunder held an awkward position.
Even so, its inclusion on the Thunder Soul List was proof of its significance.
In the past, although Mo Yu had awakened numerous Thunder Souls, he had notably overlooked this last-ranked Divine Heaven Thunder. It wasn't due to its weaker power but because a crucial item was missing—
The Divine Heaven Thunder Stone.
As the Divine Heaven Thunder was birthed from the Divine Heaven Thunder Stone, and its power was weaker than other Thunder Souls, its source was almost entirely destroyed in a great battle back then. Thus, even Mo Yu couldn't awaken the dormant Divine Heaven Thunder without the Thunder Stone.
For this reason, Mo Yu felt a mix of helplessness and regret for this lowest-ranked Divine Heaven Thunder. The Thunder Stone originated from the Shenxiao Continent, and despite ordering his subordinates to search exhaustively, he could never locate it. Eventually, he gave up.
Who would have thought that the Three Old Demons would possess a Divine Heaven Thunder Stone? This was truly unexpected.
Although Divine Heaven Thunder was ranked last and weaker, it was still a Thunder Soul. Only by gathering all 13 peak Thunder Souls could Mo Yu truly earn the title of Thunder Emperor. Therefore, the Divine Heaven Thunder Stone's significance to him was self-evident.
"Heh, judging by your expression, it seems this trophy pleases you greatly, Mo Yu," Yao Lao remarked.
Yao Lao observed Mo Yu's delighted expression with a faint chuckle. After carefully examining the Divine Heaven Thunder Stone and finding no peculiarities beyond its deep thunder energy, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"Thank you, Senior Yao Lao. This item is indeed of utmost importance to me," Mo Yu cupped his hands in gratitude, his expression sincere.
He didn't divulge that the Divine Heaven Thunder Stone could awaken the Divine Heaven Thunder, as it involved secrets of his previous life. The fewer people who knew, the better.
"So long as it satisfies you, Mo Yu. This time, we succeeded in defeating the Three Old Demons thanks to your mansion's aid," Yao Lao said, stroking his beard with a smile.
"We're allies now. Supporting each other is only natural," Mo Yu replied with a wave of his hand, smiling warmly.
"Well said, Mo Yu. Should your clan face any crisis in the future, my Falling Star Pavilion will spare no effort to assist!" Xiao Yan chimed in with a hearty laugh, holding the remnant map of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.
As the young pavilion master of the Falling Star Pavilion, Xiao Yan's status was second only to Yao Lao and nearly on par with the other pavilion master, Feng Zun Zhe. He had every right to make such declarations.
Mo Yu trusted Xiao Yan's character deeply. After chatting for a while longer, Mo Yu excused himself, saying, "Senior Yao Lao, Cousin Xiao Yan, now that the transaction is complete, we must return to the manor.
Moreover, the news about the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree has likely spread across the continent, and it will undoubtedly draw an overwhelming number of strong individuals. Our two factions must prepare early."
At the mention of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, both Yao Lao and Xiao Yan nodded solemnly, aware of the storm it would unleash.
"Then we'll part ways here. Take care, Cousin Mo Yu," Xiao Yan said with a bow. Beside him, Yao Lao nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
"Take care, Senior Yao Lao, Cousin Xiao Yan," Mo Yu replied, returning the bow. He then led Cai Lin and the others back to their clan without further delay.
Upon returning to the clan, Mo Yu and his group rested for two days. In this time, the information about the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree spread like wildfire, shaking the entire Central Plains.
The mere mention of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree caused a sensation across the continent. Even reclusive old monsters couldn't resist its allure and were drawn out of hiding.
While the Ancient Wasteland Region was perilous, the danger stemmed from insufficient temptation.
This time, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree's allure was irresistible. The so-called forbidden area no longer held any deterrent power.
To reach the legendary Dou Sheng level—representing the pinnacle of this continent—countless experts would risk everything.
Even if it meant flying into the flames, they wouldn't hesitate.
Clearly, the emergence of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree would stir chaos throughout the Central Plains!
As the various factions prepared to vie for the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, Mo Yu, having rested for two days, regained his full strength. However, he didn't venture out again but instead retreated to a secluded chamber for closed-door cultivation.
Whether from his memories or the rising turmoil on the continent, Mo Yu knew the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree would attract powerful enemies. Before setting foot in the Ancient Wasteland Region, he needed to strengthen himself.
After all, his goal wasn't the Bodhi Heart but the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree—or at least a part of it.
Why? Mo Yu sighed and shook his head with a bitter smile. "Thirteen Thunder Souls… Each one is a handful to handle."
Indeed, Mo Yu sought the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree because of its connection to the second-ranked Thunder Soul—
The Divine Wood Gang Thunder.
While he had a clear target, acquiring even a fragment of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree would be no easy feat.
The tree's connection to advancing to Dou Sheng would tempt countless experts, including the Hun Clan, to act personally.
Therefore, before this, Mo Yu must improve his strength as much as possible!
The fastest way to enhance strength is undoubtedly by practicing high-level dou techniques. Thus, Mo Yu's current retreat is aimed at cultivating the newly acquired Great Sun Desolate Thunder Body.
This technique is also a Tian Class dou technique, and its power is undoubtedly extraordinary. If he can successfully cultivate it, he will gain more confidence for his upcoming venture into the Ancient Wasteland Region.
In the quiet chamber, incense smoke lingered. Mo Yu sat cross-legged on a stone bed. With a flick of his palm, a scroll of purple-gold appeared in his hand. Turning it slightly, several bold and ancient characters were inscribed on its side.
"Great Sun Desolate Thunder Body!"
Exhaling softly, Mo Yu pressed the scroll against his forehead.
When the scroll touched his brow, a golden radiance burst forth from it, and an enormous stream of information flooded into Mo Yu's mind like a torrential flood.
"Great Sun Desolate Thunder Body, Low-tier Tian Class Dou Technique. Transform your body into a primordial entity of sun and moon. Nothing can break it; nothing is indestructible.
When fully mastered, the technique allows transformation into a primordial thunder giant, six zhang, six chi, and six cun tall, with six arms like wings. A flick of its finger can shatter heavens and annihilate worlds. The Desolate Thunder is eternal and indestructible, granting immortality!"
Seeing the glowing golden characters resonating in his mind, Mo Yu could feel the sheer dominance and strength of this technique.
This was a technique that completely relied on thunder energy to strengthen the physical body. Even with Mo Yu's expertise, he couldn't help but marvel after studying its cultivation method. As expected of a Tian Class technique, it was indeed exceptionally formidable.
Formidable as it was, Mo Yu's experience and talent allowed him to cultivate it with relative ease. As the saying goes, mastering one method leads to understanding all methods. Though the cultivation methods of various dou techniques differ, they often share certain universal principles.
Grasping this point, Mo Yu found that except for some unique dou techniques, most others were not difficult to master.
To cultivate the Great Sun Desolate Thunder Body, one must first nurture a Desolate Thunder Seed within the body, then gradually strengthen it to produce Desolate Thunder Dou Qi.
The next step involves infusing the Desolate Thunder Dou Qi into the bones, flesh, and skin using a specific method. This process imposes stringent requirements on the physical body.
The cultivation method provided in the Great Sun Desolate Thunder Body included detailed instructions and experiences on nurturing the Desolate Thunder Seed and infusing the Desolate Thunder Dou Qi into the body.
However, for Mo Yu, who possessed the Primordial Ancestral Thunder, there was no need to nurture a Desolate Thunder Seed. The Desolate Thunder Dou Qi he possessed far surpassed that of the technique's creator. Thus, he could skip this step entirely.
As for the second step—infusing the Desolate Thunder Dou Qi into his limbs and meridians—while this required a strong physical body, Mo Yu's body had been refined by numerous rare treasures. While not invincible, it was sufficient to meet the requirements of cultivating the Great Sun Desolate Thunder Body.
"Hoo…"
Taking a deep breath, Mo Yu slowly closed his eyes and began attempting to cultivate the Great Sun Desolate Thunder Body, following the methods recorded in the scroll.
"Crack, crack!"
Shortly after Mo Yu closed his eyes, his body emitted bursts of purple-gold light. As the purple-gold light intensified, Mo Yu's body suddenly enlarged, accompanied by faint sounds of twisting bones.
The enlargement continued as the purple-gold light grew more intense, and within less than half a minute, Mo Yu's height had doubled, making him resemble a small giant. His once fair skin was now imbued with a primordial purple-gold hue.
Mo Yu's body swelled to about three times its original size before stabilizing. The purple-gold light dimmed, and his body quickly shrank back to its normal size.
"Pfft!"
As his body returned to its original size, Mo Yu suddenly opened his eyes, his face flushed red, and he narrowly avoided spitting blood.
Cultivating the Great Sun Desolate Thunder Body felt as if one's body suddenly expanded several times over—a sensation akin to the skin being torn apart, muscles bursting, and bones shattering.
"No wonder this technique has such stringent requirements for the body. If someone with a weaker physique attempted this, their body would likely explode during the initial enlargement phase."
Mo Yu raised an eyebrow, chuckling lightly. However, he did not give up.
After all, gaining immense power without paying a price is impossible. The more challenging the cultivation of the Great Sun Desolate Thunder Body, the more formidable its power would be upon mastery.
This intense pain was something Mo Yu was confident he could endure. With his physique, he would eventually adapt to the pain of transformation, at which point the true power of the Great Sun Desolate Thunder Body could be unleashed.
"Interesting. Let's see what the fully mastered Great Sun Desolate Thunder Body looks like."
With a smirk, Mo Yu closed his eyes once again. As purple-gold light radiated from his body, it repeatedly expanded and shrank.
Meanwhile, the flush on Mo Yu's face surfaced repeatedly. Fortunately, as time passed, his expression became increasingly calm, suggesting he was gradually adapting to the excruciating pain.
During Mo Yu's secluded cultivation, half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
During this half-month, the Central Plains were in turmoil.
Countless forces had already dispatched advance scouts toward the Ancient Wasteland Region. However, the main contingents had yet to move, as they awaited confirmation that the rumors were true.
Once the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree truly emerged, it would undoubtedly trigger a phenomenon visible across heaven and earth. At that moment, the entire Central Plains would sense it.
Only upon witnessing this phenomenon would these eager forces finally act with fervor.
Amid this tense anticipation, five more days passed.
On the sixth day, as the first rays of dawn pierced through the earth's restraints and illuminated the northeastern skies of the continent, an extraordinary clear energy suddenly swept across the heavens like a wave, spreading far and wide.
Anyone who inhaled this energy would see the same image deep within their minds:
A towering, ancient tree exuding an aura of wisdom, its presence radiating endlessly.
This was the legendary Bodhisattva Ancient Tree!
In that instant, the Central Plains erupted into chaos!
