"Before discussing this matter, we must first understand the relationship between the Thunder Continent and the Nine Continents Mainland." At this point, the old man slowly stood up, a rare excitement showing in his expression.
"How could this possibly relate to the Nine Continents Mainland?"
Upon hearing the term Jiuzhou Continent, Sun Zhe suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with tension. Although he had merged with the memories of Sun Zhe from the Thunder Continent, the dominant Sun Zhe from the Nine Continents Mainland considered his true hometown not to be Twin Lion City in Great Yuan Province of Thunder Continent, but rather a village called Northern Peak on the Nine Continents Mainland.
"Many years ago, I was also caught in a spatial rift due to an accident. I thought I would never survive, but unexpectedly, I managed to arrive at this Thunder Continent."
Without addressing Sun Zhe's question directly, the old man began to recount his story. This time, Sun Zhe finally understood why the old man had come to the Thunder Continent; it was merely a coincidence that he passed through the chaotic space, which was much better than his soul merging and crossing over.
"I suppose you came here in a similar way," the old man concluded after looking at Sun Zhe. In his view, Sun Zhe must have arrived at Thunder Continent through this method as well.
"I wasn't clear about the relationship between the two continents either. Back then, I didn't even know that Thunder Continent existed. However, after years of investigation, I finally understood that this so-called Thunder Continent is a parallel space to the Nine Continents Mainland. It seems there are multiple such spaces surrounding the Nine Continents Mainland, as if they exist relying on it."
"Of course, these are just my speculations; it likely involves secrets of both continents that only a few truly know. Nevertheless, there must be some special connection between the two continents; otherwise, we wouldn't have ended up here."
"So what does this have to do with Thunder Temple?"
Sun Zhe was not concerned about how many such foreign spaces existed or what connections there were between the two continents; he wanted to know what relation Thunder Temple had with Jiuzhou Continent.
"A few days ago, Thunder Temple suddenly issued a thunder decree summoning all young experts from across the continent to Linwu Prefecture at the easternmost part of the continent for selection. They intend to choose the two hundred strongest individuals among the young cultivators of the entire continent. There are only two conditions: first, their cultivation must be below Realm of Thunder Lord; second, their age must not exceed forty."
"Through my investigations, I found that these two hundred individuals are precisely those whom Thunder Temple plans to send to Nine Continents Mainland. Of course, there will also be an additional three hundred elite members prepared by Thunder Temple itself. In total, there will be five hundred people. They seem to have discovered a location resembling a spatial pathway that can directly reach Nine Continents Mainland. Any cultivator whose cultivation has not reached Realm of Thunder Lord can pass through. As for why it is five hundred people, I suspect it may be due to a limit on numbers for this spatial pathway; it can only accommodate so many at once."
"Then why not select those elders whose strength is at the peak of Realm of Thunder Lord? Their power is likely much stronger, and their experience far surpasses that of the younger generation. Regardless of what purpose they have for entering Jiuzhou Continent, those elder cultivators should be more suitable."
Without being overwhelmed by the news from the old man, Sun Zhe's gaze slightly sharpened as he calmly asked.
Sun Zhe's reaction brightened the old man's eyes; he was somewhat surprised that Sun Zhe could still think so calmly at this moment. After a brief contemplation, he replied,
"This might be an opportunity for the younger generation to gain some experience. Of course, there could be other reasons, and it might even be a trap. I'm just informing you of this news; whether or not to go is entirely up to you. The selection will take place in three months. At your speed, you could probably reach Linwu Prefecture in two months." The old man smiled slightly, spreading his hands in a carefree manner.
"Since there is such a spatial passage, you don't seem to be interested at all?"
Looking at the old man with a smile on his face, Sun Zhe furrowed his brows and asked in confusion. Logically speaking, the old man had been trapped in Thunder Continent longer than he had, and he should have been more excited about receiving this news. However, judging by his current expression, it seemed as if he was not moved at all.
"Hehe, this passage clearly only allows cultivators below Thunder Lord to pass through. I have no hope whatsoever. Moreover..." At this point, a fierce light suddenly flickered in his eyes,
"Do you remember what I said when I left Xuan Lei Sect? I have already found another way back; I just need to wait for some time. It could be as little as a year or as much as ten years, but I will definitely return to Nine Continents Mainland."
"Hehe, you don't need to look at me like that; this method only applies to me. You certainly cannot use it to return unless you can reach Thunder Emperor Realm within a few years. Then there might be some hope..." The old man picked up the wine gourd in his hand, glanced at Sun Zhe, and spoke earnestly.
"Uh..."
Sun Zhe was immediately taken aback, and upon seeing the playful expression on the old man's face, he realized he had been teased. Achieving Thunder Emperor Realm within a few years was an impossible task even for a reincarnated deity.
With Sun Zhe's qualifications, it took him over three years to transition from Thunder Sovereign Level to Thunder Lord Stage, which illustrates the difficulty of advancing in the later stages.
"If you have any reservations and are unwilling to participate in the Thunder Temple selection, that's fine too. In these coming years, I will wholeheartedly guide your cultivation. While I may not be able to help you break through to Realm of Thunder Lord in the short term, reaching the peak of Realm of the Thunder Lord shouldn't be a problem. When I leave, I will also tell you how to depart; when your cultivation is sufficient, there may still be hope for you to return to Thunder Continent."
Looking at Sun Zhe with a furrowed brow, the old man stopped joking and spoke seriously to Sun Zhe. In fact, he wasn't sure what the Thunder Temple's purpose was this time; the Thunder Temple was too mysterious, and even with his strength, he couldn't uncover those secrets.
"If I follow your method, what is the minimum cultivation level I can attempt, and how long will it take?" Sun Zhe's gaze flickered as he fixed his eyes on the old man, speaking each word deliberately.
After hearing Sun Zhe's question, the old man pondered for a moment before responding.
"You will need at least the cultivation level of a Thunder Emperor. If you haven't reached the Thunder Emperor Realm, your domain won't solidify to that extent. Even if you forcefully try, you will be instantly crushed by the spatial turbulence. As for time, based on your Qualification, you should be able to reach the Realm of Thunder Lord within ten years. If you have good fortune, you might reach the Thunder Emperor Realm within fifty years. In total, it would take about sixty years, provided that you can comprehend this realm."
Sixty years is not a short time, but for a Cultivator progressing from the Realm of Thunder Lord to the Thunder Emperor Realm, it is certainly not long. Completing the transition between these two major levels in sixty years would at least classify one as talented; there are definitely not many in the entire Thunder Continent with this Qualification.
However, upon hearing this news that could inspire many, Sun Zhe fell silent. Sixty years was too long for him!
He couldn't wait that long. If he hadn't learned about the Nine Continents Mainland, he might not have thought about it again and would have treated it as a dream left deep in his heart. But precisely because he had heard this news, how could he be willing to endure waiting for sixty years or even longer...
"I've decided to go to Linwu Prefecture. No matter what, I must obtain this spot!"
Raising his eyes and staring intently at the old man, a determination that he had never felt before flashed in Sun Zhe's eyes. He had to return to the Nine Continents Mainland!
