Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 336 Lei Hongji's Secret
The young man nodded and accepted the Wind Escape Talismans. He had heard of Master Minghe, a Talisman Grandmaster in the True Morrow Continent, definitely one of the top figures.
Seeing the other party accept the Wind Escape Talismans, the shop assistant carefully deducted the contribution points for the two Tier 7 Wind Escape Talismans from the Starry Sky Token and then handed the Starry Sky Token back to the young man with both hands.
The young man put away the Starry Sky Token and said to the shop assistant, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, you're welcome. Next time Senior Brother comes, I'll still give you the best items," the shop assistant said quickly and respectfully.
Only after the young man left the second floor did the shop assistant excitedly say to the others, "Do you know who that was just now? Lei Hongji, the one who just recently made it onto the Starry Sky Ranking. Starry Sky contribution points 29151, Starry Sky Ranking 9964. I didn't expect Brother Lei to be so handsome and so young!"
"That was Lei Hongji? I heard someone say last time that with one thunderclap from him, entire patches of Starry Sky Beasts were reaped."
"Right, I heard that Mo Wuji, who also made it onto the Starry Sky Ranking before, was also a Lightning Spiritual Root cultivator. The Lightning Arc he cast wasn't any worse than Lei Hongji's."
"How can Mo Wuji compare to Brother Lei Hongji? Back then, Mo Wuji was just following behind the Starry Sky Army, which gave him the chance to reap some Starry Sky Beasts and pick up some contribution points. Brother Lei Hongji is from the Star Emperor Mountain, but he's completely relying on his own ability to fight alone in the starry sky. I heard he even helped the Starry Sky Army a few times."
"You can't say it like that. You try following behind the Starry Sky Army to pick up some points and see if you can get onto the Starry Sky Ranking."
"Mo Wuji is scum, conscienceless and mad. How can he be compared to Lei Hongji from Star Emperor Mountain?"
"Only a naive person like you would say such a thing. Do you think no one saw that there was something wrong with that video? It's just a matter of self-interest. Mo Wuji did kill that little girl, but the cause and effect are missing. Any intelligent person can see that."
"That's right, we only talk about the strong on the Starry Sky Ranking. Can character be eaten? Speaking of character, Lei Hongji was cozying up with the Xia family when he first came, and then he took the initiative to serve the Star Lord. His character isn't that great either..."
...
Lei Hongji couldn't hear the others' discussions. At this moment, he had already arrived on the first floor of the Starry Sky Wharf. He was very grateful that he had come to the True Morrow Continent and to the Star Emperor Mountain.
This was the place most suitable for him to cultivate. He would rise here.
In just a few years, he had advanced from the Yuan Dan realm to the Virtual God realm Layer 1. It could be said that among the geniuses who came from the Lost Continent, no one cultivated as fast as he did.
One day, he would return to the Lost Continent and take revenge for the Lei family. As for that Heavenly Secrets Sect, hehe, he wouldn't be named Lei if he didn't raze it to the ground.
He believed he could do it. No matter how strong Bei Suting's talent was, her future achievements wouldn't be as great as his. As for Xia Mu and Yan Yangnan of the Yan family, hehe, he didn't even put them in his eyes.
Because he had a secret of his own, a secret that no one knew, and that was his spiritual root.
Everyone knew that he had a Lightning Spiritual Root, but they didn't know that he had a mutated Lightning Spiritual Root. Moreover, his mutated Lightning Spiritual Root was different from other mutated spiritual roots. His mutated spiritual root could be continuously upgraded.
Back when he was in the Lost Continent, his mutated Lightning Spiritual Root was only at Tier 2. At that time, his cultivation speed was terrifying, but not enough to crush some geniuses. After entering the True Morrow Continent, in this excellent cultivation environment, his cultivation speed was even more rapid.
Not only that, but as his spiritual root level became stronger, his understanding of cultivation became stronger, and his strength also increased. His current lightning techniques were not inherited from predecessors, but were derived by himself based on the changes in lightning strikes in nature.
Now, his Lightning Spiritual Root had been upgraded to Tier 3. Perhaps when he entered the True God realm, his mutated Lightning Spiritual Root would reach Tier 4. When his mutated Lightning Spiritual Root reached Tier 4, he was sure that he would be even more sensitive to lightning elements, and the lightning techniques he derived would be even more powerful.
Others' Lightning Spiritual Roots could only be described as top-grade special spiritual roots, but those top-grade special Lightning Spiritual Roots were at most equivalent to his Tier 2 mutated Lightning Spiritual Root. How could they compare to him?
If he were to climb the Heaven Questioning Stairs now, perhaps he could really step onto the 108th step.
On the first floor of the Starry Sky Wharf, before Lei Hongji, filled with ambition, could hand in his Starry Sky contribution point task, a man with squinting eyes stopped him.
"Greetings, fellow daoist. I wonder if you could let me see the long sword on your back?" As the man with squinting eyes spoke, he unintentionally stirred his aura. He was definitely a powerhouse in the mid-stage of the Virtual God realm.
Lei Hongji stared coldly at the man with squinting eyes and uttered only one word, "Scram."
"You're courting death..." The Virtual God realm mid-stage man was furious at Lei Hongji's arrogance. The killing intent around him exploded and directly enveloped Lei Hongji.
If it weren't for the fact that this was the Starry Sky Wharf, he would have already attacked.
In his opinion, under his powerful aura, Lei Hongji would definitely be forced back. As long as Lei Hongji retreated, he would teach Lei Hongji what it meant to be a senior.
But to his surprise, Lei Hongji not only didn't retreat half a step, but instead took a step forward. A fierce killing intent, as if it had emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, swept over him. The man with squinting eyes felt as if a layer of skin had been scraped off his body by knives and swords, and he retreated rapidly.
He retreated more than ten steps before the pressure of that terrifying blood sea killing intent lessened. He looked at Lei Hongji in horror and subconsciously retreated again. Even a Virtual God realm late-stage powerhouse couldn't give him this kind of terrifying killing intent pressure.
Fortunately, this was the Starry Sky Wharf. If it wasn't the Starry Sky Wharf, perhaps his little life would have been lost at the hands of the other party.
Seeing that Lei Hongji didn't take him seriously at all, the man quickly turned around and left this place. He vowed that the next time he saw this guy, he would avoid him first.
"Sister Suting, it's Lei Hongji. His cultivation is almost the same as mine." From a corner on the first floor of the Starry Sky Wharf, Yan'er personally witnessed Lei Hongji use his corpse mountain blood sea-like killing intent to force a Virtual God realm mid-stage cultivator to flee.
She felt a little uneasy. The feud between the Lei family and Rogue Cultivator 2705, even someone like her who was focused on cultivation, had heard of, which showed how great the feud was. After learning that Rogue Cultivator 2705 was Master, she was focused on how to help Master.
Now that Lei Hongji's cultivation was about the same as hers, his aura was something she couldn't compare to. Even though they were both in the early stage of the Virtual God realm, she was sure that she was definitely not Lei Hongji's opponent.
Bei Suting nodded, "I knew that this person was not simple when he stepped onto the 99th step of the Heaven Questioning Stairs. Now it seems that he is indeed powerful. His cultivation progress is even faster than yours. You should know that you have a mutated Wood Spiritual Root, the most suitable spiritual root for cultivation."
After saying that, Bei Suting paused slightly and then continued, "Yan'er, do you know about the Heavenly Secrets Sect?"
Yan'er nodded. She had heard that the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Secrets Sect had been killed, and the Heavenly Secrets Sect had been destroyed by the Lei family.
"The sword on Lei Hongji's back is the Heavenly Secrets Sword of the Heavenly Secrets Sect. Now that he is blatantly carrying the sword on his body, it shows that the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Secrets Sect was indeed killed by the Lei family," Bei Suting said.
"Sister Suting, I want to go to the Starry Sky Battlefield alone," Yan'er said firmly.
Seeing Bei Suting look at her with confusion, Yan'er slowly said, "Sister Suting, it is indeed safer for me to go to the Starry Sky Battlefield with you. But that is not very useful to me. If I want to improve my strength, I must not stay behind you. Only by experiencing life and death can I truly grow."
Bei Suting understood Yan'er's meaning when she saw Yan'er staring at the place where Lei Hongji had disappeared. Indeed, if she wanted to become a true powerhouse like Lei Hongji, she couldn't always be protected behind her.
"Yan'er, since you have decided, I won't persuade you. Be careful in everything, and don't think about going to the Extremely Ice Sea until you are a Human Immortal," Bei Suting knew that it was useless to persuade her anymore, so she agreed to Yan'er's request.
Yan'er stood up and bowed to Bei Suting, "Sister Suting, don't worry, I won't go to the Extremely Ice Sea until I have helped Master complete some of his things."
In addition to avenging Master, she also wanted to go to the Lost Continent to reclaim the Northern Qin Princess Kingdom for Master. In any case, that was Master's obsession. The Northern Qin Princess Kingdom should at least return to the Mo family.
Yan'er was focused on cultivation in the Lost Continent, so she didn't know that the Northern Qin Princess Kingdom had already been taken back by Mo Wuji, and the current Princess of the Northern Qin Princess Kingdom was a collateral member of the Mo family.

(Today things went smoothly, I came back and coded, and I didn't delay the second update at all. Seeing the ranking on the recommendation vote list, Old Five is really excited. Thank you, our great Immortal Mortal powerhouses, for actually making Immortal Mortal reach the first place. I thought I would be satisfied if I could be in the top five. But everyone gave me a big surprise. Three updates, definitely three updates. This recommendation list really goes up when you say it goes up, and falls when you say it falls. By the way, can I start investing in stocks? When the time comes, you say it will go up and it will go up, uh uh uh...)
