Zhao Yang followed the instructions of the Spirit Pearl and arrived at the foot of the mountain. He navigated through the dense bamboo forest and found a tattered brocade pouch among the jagged stones, looking as if it had been weathered by wind and rain. Picking up the pouch, Zhao Yang took out a bamboo scroll from inside. The writing on the scroll was faint and unclear, shrouded in a mist that obscured it.
The towering bamboo forest blocked out the sun, and a refreshing, pleasant aura seeped into his clothes, enveloping his body. This tranquil and profound place made Zhao Yang's heart race with excitement; it was indeed an exceptional spot with excellent feng shui.
Activating his Divine Sense to read, he easily bypassed any formations that might obstruct him and quickly deciphered the contents of the bamboo scroll. However, upon reading it, he was taken aback, for it contained a long-lost technique mentioned in various sects' Scripture Repository secret texts.
The technique was called the Nine Heavens Thunder Control True Formula, a supreme method of the Thunder Path. Not only was it unmatched in offense, but it could also refine the body using Thunder Path energy, filling one's flesh with Thunder Path essence to form a Thunder Spirit Body, making it impossible for ordinary demons and monsters to approach.
This true formula of the Thunder Path was different from typical Thunder Path techniques. Most techniques involved storing Thunder Spirit within oneself and unleashing it during battle through spells. More advanced techniques drew upon surrounding elemental Thunder Spirit for immediate use. However, these methods struggled to produce significant lethality in a short time unless mastered to the highest realm.
In contrast, the Nine Heavens Thunder Control True Formula was a genuine celestial technique of the Thunder Path that directly absorbed lightning power from the clouds above and directed it to the ground. The destructive force it unleashed could not only devastate but also shake mountains and seas.
After reading through the Nine Heavens Thunder Control True Formula, Zhao Yang silently began to circulate its principles within himself. A brilliant light erupted from his palm as bolts of lightning intertwined around him, startling countless birds into flight within the forest.
Zhao Yang looked up; lightning surged through the clouds as fierce winds howled, casting dappled shadows among the trees.
He put away the formula, and as the lightning subsided, tranquility returned to heaven and earth.
Through his Divine Sense, he sensed someone gazing in his direction from that dilapidated Taoist temple.
Zhao Yang ascended into the air and arrived at the temple's entrance. An elderly Taoist appeared before him, accompanied by a young disciple who looked about five or six years old. The girl had an exceptionally delicate appearance with large eyes blinking nervously as she hid behind the Old Taoist, peering at Zhao Yang with trepidation.
"Esteemed Immortal Master, I apologize for not welcoming you properly," said the Old Taoist sincerely.
Zhao Yang sensed the cultivation fluctuations emanating from him and recognized that he was a Core Formation Stage practitioner. He replied politely, "There's no need for formalities, my friend. I happened to pass by and noticed this place radiating treasure-like light. Upon picking up this scroll, I wondered if it belonged to your esteemed location."
Zhao Yang presented the Nine Heavens Thunder Control True Formula to the Old Taoist.
Upon seeing the scroll, the Old Taoist gasped in shock and hurriedly invited Zhao Yang inside for tea. He personally prepared tea while instructing Little Taoist to bring out their softest treasure couch to cushion Zhao Yang's seat.
"Thank you for returning our sect's treasured artifact," said the Old Taoist gratefully as he bowed deeply.
Zhao Yang waved his hand dismissively. "There's no need for such gratitude; it was merely a small effort on my part. By the way, which generation of temple master are you at Thunder Sound Temple?"
Upon hearing Zhao Yang's words, the Old Taoist was taken aback, his voice trembling as he said, "I am the forty-fifth generation leader of Thunder Sound Temple, Master. How do you know about Thunder Sound Temple?"
Zhao Yang did not hide the truth. "Six thousand years ago, Thunder Sound Temple dominated the cultivation world with the Nine Heavens Thunder Control True Formula, instilling fear in demons and monsters. However, it later offended the Cultivation Sect and was suppressed by several major sects, disappearing from the world ever since."
The Old Taoist's expression turned emotional; it was surprising that someone still knew the secrets of their sect. However, he could tell that Zhao Yang meant no harm. With a sigh, he said, "Unfortunately, ever since our Sect Founder ascended to the heavens, Thunder Sound Temple has not regained its former glory. Now, only I and this child remain. The Nine Heavens Thunder Control True Formula was sealed by our ancestor. He prophesied that one day someone would break the seal of the true formula, marking the time for Thunder Sound Temple to reemerge. But our ancestor was a master of the Tribulation Period; how could anyone possibly break his seal?"
"The heavens tremble, nine calamities descend, great sounds are chaotic, beginning from one..." Zhao Yang recited aloud.
Tears streamed down the Old Taoist's face as he hurriedly took out a scroll and ink brush, saying, "Please take your time, Master. I fear making a mistake."
Zhao Yang took the brush and swiftly wrote out the entire Nine Heavens Thunder Control True Formula before handing it to the Old Taoist. The Old Taoist trembled as he accepted the true formula and anxiously made the child kneel before Zhao Yang, performing three kneels and nine bows.
Zhao Yang accepted this calmly and urged them to rise. "The Nine Heavens Thunder Control True Formula is too domineering; if this child wishes to learn it, caution is required."
The Old Taoist thanked him sincerely. "I will heed your teachings carefully."
The Little Taoist said sweetly, "Thank you, brother."
Her voice was melodious and her appearance quite adorable.
The Old Taoist scolded gently, "You must call him Master; do not be disrespectful!"
Zhao Yang chuckled. "It's no trouble; this child is quite endearing. If she enters the cultivation world in the future, she can come find me."
Hearing this, the Old Taoist respectfully asked, "May I ask your esteemed name?"
Zhao Yang replied, "I am but an unknown person; my name is Zhao Yang."
After saying this, Zhao Yang turned to leave when the Old Taoist called him back and led him to a bamboo grove behind the temple. With a wave of his hand, radiant light flickered as he cast numerous runes into the surrounding bamboo forest. These bamboos were different from those elsewhere on the mountain; they were more vibrant and full of life.
"This is a treasure site found by our sect's ancestor long ago. These bamboos are not ordinary; they are Spirit Bamboos," explained the Old Taoist.
Before long, all the Spirit Bamboo around began to emit a green glow under the Old Taoist's urging. Countless beams of light transformed into tiny streams that converged into the green bamboo tube in his hands, releasing a natural fragrance.
Zhao Yang's eyes sparkled with interest. He had seen in various sects' collections that the Millennium Spirit Bamboo could produce a liquid known as Spirit Bamboo Essence, which could cleanse the impurities of the body and soul, making the meridians clean and smooth, significantly enhancing one's cultivation speed. As the owner of the Chaotic Root, Zhao Yang was most troubled by his slow progress.
The Old Taoist handed the extracted Millennium Spirit Bamboo Essence to Zhao Yang, who accepted it gratefully before bidding farewell to him.
After Zhao Yang left, the Old Taoist stroked Little Taoist's forehead and said, "Disciple, from today onward, you will begin learning our sect's highest mental cultivation method. Once you establish your foundation, I will impart to you the ultimate secret of the cultivation world that everyone dreams of. This way, you can seek out your origins. I have been observing the stars for nearly a hundred years, and just a few nights ago, I saw that our Thunder Sound Temple would once again see the light because of someone. However, I did not know who this person was. He is someone with the highest fate in the cultivation world; those who receive his help are not ordinary people. Perhaps in the future, you will encounter him."
Little Taoist looked up at him, seemingly understanding the Old Taoist's words.
With a sigh, the Old Taoist said, "A great calamity in the cultivation world is likely approaching."
Meanwhile, in a distant part of the Central State Royal Family, words began to appear on a massive stone tablet that shimmered with light—True Thunder Formula.
"True Thunder Formula? Could it be the Nine Heavens True Thunder Formula from six thousand years ago?" A mighty man spoke softly, his brows furrowed and his face resolute, with brilliant light shining in his eyes. He wore a purple-gold dragon robe that radiated imperial aura, while hundreds of black-robed figures knelt behind him.
"Have we identified who killed the Heavenly Mechanism Wall and the Nine Great Protectors?" The imposing man asked with an authoritative tone.
"Reporting to Central Sovereign, the one who killed the Nine Great Protectors is Demon Hunter Supreme, a Grand Elder from a small sect in Southern Region of Zhongzhou. However, this sect was quite famous ten thousand years ago; it was founded by a loose cultivator during a Tribulation Period. This person once hunted down a supreme Flood Dragon and seized its inner core, which contributed to two major reasons behind the army's destruction event. The other reason is that news of the Spirit Pearl's emergence has attracted too many hidden sects' covetous eyes. It is said that a disaster across thousands of miles is related to a young boy; currently, only two people know who he is: one is a Crimson Robed Wanderer and the other is Shi Qiankun, the leader of Dragon Seeking Gate."
"Shi Qiankun?" A playful smile appeared on Central Sovereign's face. "Find these two individuals and force them to reveal that boy's name and background."
