Chapter 50: Dragon Palace
Upon returning to Qingshi Mountain, He Yu began to study how to deal with Chongming Gate.
"Kang Qian is at the seventh level of Qi Refining, far surpassing us. I'm afraid only the sect leader's return will be able to deal with him."
He Yu frowned slightly, but the key point was that Li Wu had never returned since he went to Guang'an County last time.
"We'll have to call in outside help."
After much deliberation, He Yu placed his hopes on Niu Er and the Zhao family.
Niu Er is also at the late stage of Qi Refining. Although he is not as good as Kang Qian, he should be able to handle Yi Er without any problem.
At the same time, the Zhao family must be informed of Chongmingmen's wolfish ambitions.
With this in mind, He Yu immediately picked up his pen and wrote two letters.
One letter was for the Zhao family, and the other was for Zhao Qianyuan.
…………
Yulin Mountain.
Li Wu is currently cultivating with his eyes closed in his cave. The spiritual energy here is abundant, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.
With the aid of elixirs, he has already broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.
"Fellow Daoist Li."
At that moment, someone shouted from outside the cave.
Li Wu slowly opened his eyes, got up and walked out of the cave. He saw Pei Xiyan dressed in plain clothes standing outside.
"Fellow Daoist Pei," Li Wu greeted, cupping his hands in greeting.
Pei Xiyan nodded slightly, a white light shone in his hand, revealing a jade bottle, which he handed to Li Wudao:
"Your [Mystic Thunder Water Storage Pill] is ready."
Li Wu was overjoyed upon hearing this, and immediately took the bottle to look inside. Sure enough, there was a Thunder Pill lying inside.
"Thank you for your help, Pei Xiyan."
Pei Xiyan waved his hand and said:
"It wasn't me who refined the elixir; I was simply asking him for help."
She paused, her phoenix eyes scanning Li Wu for a moment before she nodded and said:
"Late stage of Qi Refining is enough."
Then, she smiled:
"Fellow Daoist Li, would you be willing to accompany me on a trip to the East Sea?"
"East China Sea?"
Li Wu pondered for a moment, thinking that the other party wouldn't harm him, and then nodded:
"Of course I'd like to go."
"Then let's go."
Immediately, the two rode away on their own.
…………
It flew over the sea for a long time.
It stopped in a sea area.
Li Wu looked around and saw only an endless sea with no islands, which puzzled him.
"Fellow Daoist Pei, where are we going?"
"Dragon Palace".
Pei Xiyan chuckled, and then she chanted an incantation and made a hand seal, instantly creating a whirlpool on the sea surface.
From within the whirlpool, one can see magnificent palaces and towers, their splendor as clear as crystal.
"The Dragon Palace of the East Sea?" Li Wu was astonished.
Pei Xiyan knew that Li Wuzhi only knew the method but not the secret, so he took the initiative to explain:
"Back then, before the Thunder Palace was destroyed in the great war between immortals and demons, it was the Thunder Palace that enforced the law and regulated the world. At that time, whether it was ordinary people or cultivator sects, everyone was living a prosperous life."
"All fellow Daoists value harmony, treat others with kindness, and discuss the Dao with one another. True Lords will appear in the world, and True Men will be found everywhere."
"As for the dragon, it is in charge of the [Water Virtue] lineage, assisting the Thunder Palace, bringing clouds and rain, and benefiting the world."
"However, with the war between immortals and demons, the Thunder Palace was destroyed, and three-fifths of the Dragon's Water Virtue lineage was lost, leaving only the He Shui and Pin Shui paths. Fortunately, the Dragons also possessed the Thunder Virtue lineage of the Zhen Lei and She Lei paths."
"My Thunderclap Technique originated from the Dragon Palace."
After hearing this, Li Wu's mind began to stir:
"So, it seems this dragon is aligned with the Thunder Palace?"
"With the addition of the Thunderclap, the She Thunder, and my Divine Thunder, we now have three of the five thunders."
"Perhaps I might even see that fellow Daoist [She Lei] in the Dragon Palace..."
With these thoughts in mind, Li Wu followed Pei Xiyan into the Dragon Palace.
Outside the Dragon Palace, shrimp soldiers and crab generals guarded the area, while dragons and other creatures circled around.
Upon seeing Pei Xiyan, they all bowed their heads in respect and said:
"Fairy Pei".
This surprised Li Wu slightly; it seemed the other party held a high position in the Dragon Palace.
"Let's go."
Pei Xiyan led Li Wu into a side hall.
Seated inside the hall was a man with a dragon's head and a human body, dressed in scale armor, exuding an imposing aura; he was none other than the Purple Mansion True Man.
Pei Xiyan entered the hall, cupped his hands, and said:
"Senior brother."
The dragon nodded slightly and said:
"Junior sister, you've arrived."
Then, he looked at the man behind Pei Xiyan with a puzzled expression:
"The aura of [Divine Thunder]? Where did your [Divine Thunder] technique come from?"
When Li Wujian asked him the question, he stepped forward and answered in detail.
The dragon immediately looked enlightened and nodded, saying:
"I see. You were lucky; you didn't die in that Buddhist land."
Li Wu's lips twitched slightly. If he hadn't been able to travel between the two worlds, he would have almost died there.
"It's a pity that your 'Jade Pivot Edict for Extermination' only covers the foundation-building chapters and is difficult to cultivate to the Purple Palace."
The dragon hesitated for a moment, then said:
"We are both cultivators of the lightning element, you may call me Senior Brother Tianxuan."
"Senior Brother Tianxuan."
Without the slightest hesitation, Li Wu immediately shouted it out.
Because he knew that once he uttered the word "senior brother," he would be bound to Lei Gong.
The dragons who stood in the Thunder Palace back then, and Yulin Mountain will become his helpers.
In this way, he can get rid of the entanglement of those Purple Mansion True Persons from the Yue Kingdom.
A smile appeared on Tianxuan's face, and he nodded, saying:
"Junior sister, take your junior brother to the Thunder Pool. Break through to the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible. My Dragon Palace will plan the Purple Mansion chapter of the Jade Pivot Edict for you."
Pei Xiyan nodded in agreement, then turned to Li Wudao and said:
"Come with me."
The two left the side hall and walked inward along a long corridor paved with white jade.
Coral pillars and pearl lamps line both sides of the corridor, creating a dazzling spectacle as deep-sea fish swim by.
After walking for a while, they came to a secret realm. Pei Xiyan chanted incantations and made hand seals, and the secret realm's formation was activated.
The two went inside and saw a pond with thunder and lightning swirling around it.
"This is the Thunder Pool. For us lightning-attribute cultivators, it can increase our cultivation and temper our bodies, which is of great benefit."
Pei Xiyan turned to look at Li Wu and said in a deep voice:
"From this day forward, you will cultivate here. You may emerge from seclusion when you break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Li Wu looked at the Thunder Pool, his heart filled with joy.
"With this Thunder Pool, I'm certain I can break through to the Foundation Establishment realm within three to five years!"
"But before that, I need to go back to Qingshishan."
This period of seclusion and cultivation will take quite some time, so Li Wu needs to make arrangements over there first.
After thinking it over, he had a sudden thought and immediately returned to the Qi Refining Realm.
…………
Qingshi Mountain.
He Yu received two letters from the Zhao family and Zhao Qianyuan.
The Zhao family's letters were mostly appeasement-oriented and contained no substantive statements.
However, Zhao Qianyuan said in his letter that he would send someone to Chongming Sect to give the sect leader a warning.
"In that case, Kangxi and Qianlong should not dare to take action against my Qingshi Sect." He Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, Chongming Sect was just a newly established Qi Refining force, and it certainly wouldn't dare to disobey Zhao Qianyuan, a direct descendant of the Zhao family.
