Wan Hongzhuang
Chapter 56 Guannan County, Golden Thunder
The voice said.
Good heavens, fifty thousand years? What an old monster.
Speaking of fifty thousand years ago, wasn’t that around the time his ancestor Wan Qingyi ascended to immortality? Could it be…
“Senior, are you the legacy left behind by the Thunder Emperor Ancestor?”
Wan Lei guessed.
“Wan Qingyi? Does he deserve to be mentioned in the same breath? You don’t need to make wild guesses. I’ll say it again: when you are qualified to stand before me, I will naturally tell you everything.
Now, answer my question: in your previous life, how many runes did you light up at most?”
The voice said.
Wan Lei didn’t dare to ask any more questions. He thought to himself that he would ask Wan Hongxin tomorrow about what happened fifty thousand years ago. Since it had nothing to do with the Thunder Emperor Ancestor, and the other party spoke with such arrogance, not even regarding the Thunder Emperor Ancestor as important, then he must be an even more powerful figure.
He stopped thinking about it and quickly said, “All nine were lit up.”
“You’re lying. You only lit up eight runes at most! The Plane of Morality cannot give you the last bolt of lightning!”
The voice suddenly became stern.
In an instant, Wan Lei broke out in a cold sweat again.
Indeed, even in his previous life, at his peak, the Hammer of Thor had only lit up eight runes. He searched the entire Plane of Morality for the lightning that could light up the last one, but he couldn’t find it.
This also led to his authority over thunder being incomplete, and he was eventually devoured by the Hammer of Thor and died.
But how did the other party know?
“Senior has discerning eyes. Junior was wrong. I hope Senior will forgive me.”
At this moment, Wan Lei was truly convinced by this senior. The other party was like an omniscient god, knowing all his secrets.
“Your first Thunder Rune is the Thunder of Nature. The second is the Thunder of Cultivation. The third is the Thunder of Metal. The fourth is the Thunder of Wood. The fifth is the Thunder of Water. The sixth is the Thunder of Fire. The seventh is the Thunder of Earth. The eighth is the Thunder of Heavenly Dao!
The gathering of all eight thunders is the runic thunder power of your peak period, which gave you the supreme authority of the Thunder God, but it is not complete, because you are still missing the last and strongest thunder.”
Wan Lei was no longer surprised at all. Anyway, the other party knew everything. He even suspected that the other party was someone hidden deep in his soul.
“Does Senior know what this last thunder is?”
Wan Lei’s heart was burning with passion, and he even regarded the other party as a god to be worshipped, just like the people of Asgard in his previous life worshipped him.
“I know. When you see me, I will tell you.”
The voice became uncharacteristically concise.
“Thank you, Senior.”
After Wan Lei finished speaking, his eyes darted around. He thought to himself that this mysterious expert had finally appeared for the second time. Last time, he gave himself a mysterious thunder. If he didn’t ask for some benefits this time, wouldn’t that be too unreasonable?
With the spirit of plucking a feather from every passing goose and considering it a loss if he didn't pick up something when he went out, Wan Lei brazenly put on a distressed look and said:
“Senior, you also know that Wan Liuchuan has broken through to the Jindan stage. I am now just a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator. Why don’t you reward me with some thunder power or something, so I can improve my cultivation and not embarrass you, Senior?”
“It is precisely because Wan Liuchuan has broken through to the Jindan stage that I appeared this time. With your current cultivation progress, you will definitely not be able to contend with him. Otherwise, with my temper, I wouldn’t bother with you.”
Well, he really was an eccentric master.
“To the south of Qishan Prefecture is Guannan Prefecture. A place where Guannan Prefecture borders Qishan Prefecture belongs to the Feng family of Guannan Prefecture.
There is a cave there where a Yuanshen realm cultivator once cultivated. Inside the cave, there is a Thunder Refining Pool that the cultivator once used.
In the past few days, thunder power containing the origin of metal has appeared in the Thunder Refining Pool. Go and absorb that thunder power, and you can light up your third Thunder Rune of Metal.
The seal of that cave will be in its weak period in five days. At that time, the experts of the Feng family will naturally go to break it. Then you can enter.
At that time, your strength will be further improved. If you still can’t defeat Wan Liuchuan, then you are really a waste. Don’t blame me for giving up on you.”
Hearing this, the information Wan Lei had collected before immediately appeared in his mind.
Guannan Prefecture is roughly the same as Qishan Prefecture, divided into four families, one of which is the Feng family.
The Feng family’s territory borders the Duanmu family of Qishan Prefecture.
The Feng family is also a super-powerful family with many Jindan experts. Their strength is not inferior to that of the Duanmu and Wan families. It would not be easy to snatch food from their mouths.
But Wan Lei was definitely not a person who would retreat in the face of difficulty and shrink back from battle. The temptation to light up the third Thunder Rune made him unable to give up no matter what.
“That… Senior, you also know that that place belongs to the Duanmu family, and like you said, the seal will be broken there in five days. At that time, there will definitely be people from many forces and rogue cultivators going to obtain the treasures of that Thunder Refining Pool. I am just a small Foundation Establishment cultivator. I’m afraid I’ll go there and never return.”
Wan Lei said shamelessly again.
“If you are afraid, you can not go. Then when you lose to Wan Liuchuan, don’t blame me for not giving you advice.”
“No, how could Junior be the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? I’m just afraid of dying there, wasting Senior’s painstaking efforts. If Senior could give Junior a thunder talisman like last time to protect me, Junior would naturally be foolproof.”
Wan Lei finally said what was on his mind.
“I say, why are you like those few rascals? You want to take advantage of everything, and you think it’s a loss if you don’t pick up something when you go out.”
This was the first time the voice had shown emotional fluctuations. From these words, Wan Lei heard helplessness, indignation, and a trace of… longing.
“Who are the rascals that Senior is talking about? Are they Senior’s friends?”
Wan Lei asked cautiously.
“Consider them that way. I haven’t seen them for fifty thousand years. Forget about this. I’ll give you another bolt of purple lightning that can kill a Jindan cultivator.
Don’t think too much about it. I can’t do everything for you. You still need to grow yourself.”
As the other party spoke, Wan Lei noticed that there was another bolt of purple lightning in his dantian.
The pressure emitted by this purple lightning was even more terrifying than the previous one.
It seemed that the other party really didn’t lie to him. This lightning could really kill a Jindan expert.
“Thank you, Senior! Thank you, Senior! Junior will definitely do my best and will not disappoint Senior.”
Wan Lei was overjoyed and flattered with a nod and a bow.
But this time, the other party didn’t say another word.
After confirming that the other party would no longer pay attention to him, Wan Lei excitedly lay on the bed, his mind churning.
He had received too much information this day.
So, there really was someone who knew he was a transmigrator and was willing to help him selflessly.
So… he wasn’t alone.
