Chapter Eighty: The Smoke Disperses and Clouds Scatter, Thinking of the Treasure

  All along the way, he didn't say a word. After returning to the Tianyu Imperial City of the Tianyu Dynasty, he saw that the originally dilapidated city was now even more dilapidated.

  In the city, there were still dozens of groups of dark clouds swirling around, with lightning constantly striking down. Wang Guang saw this and didn't rush to find the person who split the earth, but instead flew directly towards the largest group of dark clouds.

  "Split Earth Daoist!" Arriving at a circular cloud of several hundred feet in diameter, he saw that under the dark cloud stood a person, who was none other than Split Earth Daoist wearing a Daoist robe.

  Only to see this Taoist priest looking disheveled, his face pale, one arm missing, and the once-good-looking Taoist robe now tattered and hanging on his body. The lightning bolts struck down, but all that came out of the crack in the ground was a vast amount of magical power to resist them. Every time he spat out a mouthful of magical power, his face turned paler, his body trembling, looking as if he might collapse at any moment.

  "The path is long, don't be impatient, I'll come to assist you." Wang Guang saw that the Earth Splitting Daoist was having such a hard time resisting the lightning, and his heart suddenly became anxious. Without thinking, he decided to jump over and help the other resist the lightning.

  "Don't be impulsive, fellow Taoist is still waiting on the side. If you rush into the range of dark clouds, the dark clouds will also release lightning of the same magnitude to slash you. At that time, you won't be able to help at all, and instead, you'll lose your life in vain." A well-known Qi-refining master hurriedly stepped forward to stop Wang Guang. "We tried it before, and as a result, we lost a fellow disciple's life."

  Wang Guang didn't believe it and still wanted to jump over to help. Fortunately, the cultivator from the Crack in the Ground heard the commotion around him and hastily stopped Wang Guang. "Fellow Daoist, don't be anxious, this dark cloud pressing down on me can't do anything to me, you just rest aside and watch my technique." After saying that, he reached out and patted his own occipital bone, and a large green hand emerged from the Jade Pillow Hole at the back of his head.

  The big hand welcomed the wind and swelled up, one part connected to the Jade Pillow Hole, and the other changed into dozens of feet in size, like a small mountain, fiercely slapping the dark clouds in the sky.

  The giant hand flew upwards, and suddenly a bolt of lightning came crashing down. But this giant hand was one of the strongest spells of the Lì Dé Dào people, how could it be so easily destroyed? The giant hand resisted the lightning and slapped heavily in the middle of the dark clouds.

  Only a low rumble of thunder echoed through the dark clouds, and then the hundreds of feet large dark cloud rapidly squirmed and suddenly swallowed up the big hand. In just a few breaths, the sound of thunder rose again, but this time the dark cloud suddenly shrunk by over a hundred feet. The Lidi Dao person also took advantage of the opportunity to disperse his Taoist techniques, grabbed a handful of elixir pills and threw them into his mouth to speed up his recovery of magical powers, waiting for the next lightning strike.

  The thunder and lightning lasted for a whole day and night before stopping, during which dozens of other dark clouds also dispersed, but the cultivators under the dark clouds died instantly, with half of them being struck to death by the thunder and lightning, their souls not even escaping.

  The last thunderbolt was incredibly powerful, and even though Wang Guang was hundreds of feet away, he still felt endless danger. The Lidi Daoist gritted his teeth and spat out several mouthfuls of blood mixed with

  When the dark clouds dispersed, the remaining cultivators couldn't help but cheer. After withstanding the final lightning bolt in the Split Earth Sect's leader's unique technique, they finally managed to fend it off. The one who bore the brunt of the attack was the sect leader himself, and he had endured the longest. Seeing the dark clouds dissipate, without saying a word, he directly sat down cross-legged on the ground and began to circulate his Qi to recover his spiritual energy and internal injuries.

  Several qigong masters in the city caught three to five ordinary people, preparing to select an arm from these ordinary people for him to continue after the Earth Splitting Sword Sect member woke up.

  Wang Guang, like most of the Qi practitioners, sat cross-legged around Li Tuo's corpse, on one hand silently transferring their skills to restore their own powers, and on the other hand indirectly guarding him to prevent others from taking advantage of the situation to harm him.

  "Boundless Heaven Venerable! So it's the Golden Elixir Guiding Method of the Great Zhou Heavenly Cycle. No wonder it feels so familiar." Wang Guang sat on the side, practicing his own method, and saw that Lidi Dao Ren had spat out a mouthful of Qi power in front of him, condensing it into a huge basin-like shape, and then absorbed those Qi powers back through his nostrils. Suddenly, he understood the cultivation method of Lidi Dao Ren.

  "At the very least, he must have cultivated the 'Great Zhou Tian Golden Elixir Guiding Technique' in his cultivation method. That incredibly powerful palm should be the One-Breath Great Grasping Hand when cultivating to the fifth layer of the technique. It's just unknown how many layers he has cultivated to achieve such immense power." After some random thoughts, this guy remembered that he had also reached the fifth layer of the technique and could cultivate the One-Breath Great Grasping Hand as well. Unfortunately, his arms were destroyed, and the divine ability of the Golden Claw was lost along with them, otherwise combining the divine ability with the technique would have increased its power even more.

  After a long time of chaotic thinking, he finally calmed down and moved the Dharma Gate. As the Dharma Gate was moved, he found that his heart had surged to another level after passing through the tribulation of being pressed by dark clouds, which was also an unexpected joy for him.

  However, this joy was soon suppressed by him, and he concentrated his mind to start adjusting the law to unblock the acupoints in his newly replaced arm.

  This loosened up the meridian acupoints, and Wang Guang's mood suddenly became worse than ever.

  Originally, when he first unblocked the main acupoints on his arm, each meridian produced a large amount of Fa power. However, this time after unblocking those meridians, the Fa power only increased by a little bit, which was seven or eight times less than the first time.

  He didn't even have time to be surprised, and he began to transport the Fa from the first layer to the fifth layer. It took a lot of time to unblock the meridians on his arm. The remaining time was spent constantly nourishing the acupoints on his arm with Fa power, allowing their intensity to catch up with the original meridian strength, so that when he injected too much Fa power to release the Taoist technique, the meridians would not be damaged.

  Hurriedly collecting the law, I saw that the person in the middle of the crack had already woken up and his broken arm had been reattached. At this time, he was talking to several Qi practitioners with a difficult expression.

  "Great Infinite Heaven! Fellow Daoist, all is well." King Guang had passed by for a while and didn't know what to say, so he opened his mouth and blurted out these words.

  Everyone burst out laughing as soon as they heard this.

  "Little brother, aren't you secretly fond of Li Di Daoist? Today, seeing him without a care in the world, your heart is joyful and you can't say anything good?" A female practitioner nearby covered her mouth and giggled, laughing so hard that her breasts shook up and down, attracting the attention of some onlookers.

  Wang Guang involuntarily rolled his eyes. "Why must you tease me like this, fellow Taoist? I'm perfectly normal, if you don't believe me, we can find a quiet place to try it out privately, and put your mind at ease about my transformation."

  "You'd better ask the Earthsplitter if he's willing to let me try." The female Qi practitioner gave a charming smile, turned around and wrapped her arms around the Earthsplitter's arm, throwing several flirtatious glances at Wang Guang.

  In this way, the heavy atmosphere dissipated a bit. Lidi Dao Ren also didn't take his previous words to heart, and after letting everyone wake up the other practitioners, he led them silently into a huge manor.

  Everyone arranged the tables, chairs, and benches in the open garden and sat down one after another. Wang Guang secretly counted the cultivators who had arrived and found that there were only over a hundred people gathered here. The others didn't know whether they died in battle or were killed by the disaster of the dark clouds. Thinking back to when he left the sect with Lidi Daoist, there were more than a thousand people, but now only this many were left, and his heart suddenly felt desolate.

  "One day, I will also become nothingness. Those who were once fellow disciples have all abandoned themselves." Wang Guang felt a deep sorrow in his heart.

  "Gentlemen, the Tianyu Imperial Court now belongs to us. The Daqi, Beiluo Imperial Court, Liefeng, and Huangshi Imperial Courts also belong to us." The Liedi Daoist stood up and said in a deep voice: "Although we paid a great price to gain control over these five imperial courts, I believe everyone has an estimate of the future gains. I won't say anything unnecessary. As long as there are materials available in these five imperial courts, all of you gentlemen can use them freely, without having to fight with others for a small piece of golden essence like we did in the sect."

  To be honest, including Wang Guang, there weren't many cultivators who showed excitement on their faces, but rather each of them lowered their heads and thought about their own affairs.

  The man from the Rift didn't mind, and simply said that he planned to unify the five imperial dynasties and establish a new one. The people present could be called Imperial Vassals, without having to pay anything, they could enjoy endless privileges.

  After muttering to himself for a while, the crowd finally dispersed. Wang Guang wanted to go up and ask the Earth Crack Taoist about whether the dark cloud would still appear, but saw that the Earth Crack Taoist was engaged in a low-voiced conversation with the famous Qi Practitioner, and had no time to bother with him. He reluctantly turned around and left. "I'll find another day to ask him!" Wang Guang comforted himself.

  In the following tens of days, he randomly selected a villa as his foothold, and every day in the villa, he moved his spiritual power to unblock the acupuncture points in both arms. After dozens of days of work, he finally refined the meridians in both arms to a satisfactory level.

  However, after dozens of days of continuous transportation of the Law Gate, he discovered that the increase in law power each time was less than before, and as time passed, the increase in law power became less and less. After dozens of days had passed, when he transported the fifth layer of the Law Gate, the increased law power was only equivalent to two-thirds of what it was before the dark clouds pressed down.

  Fortunately, the effect of his technique was no longer weakening at this time, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Worried that there might be a problem with his own technique or body, he asked dozens of practitioners to compare.

  When he inquired, he found that the effects of all the Qi Refining Sect's techniques had weakened to some extent. Some had weakened by half, while others had weakened by two-thirds. Only a handful of people, like him, had only weakened by one-third.

  "What a distress!" He lay on a rocking chair, with a woman peeling grapes and putting them into his mouth from behind, and another woman squatting beside him to massage his legs. In front of him, there were also singing girls shaking their bodies and twisting their beautiful dance postures. If he wanted to drink fine wine, someone would pour it for him; if he wanted to eat delicious food, a woman would pick it up and put it in his mouth.

  This scene should not have been a source of distress, but Wang Guang thought of his own destroyed magic treasure and the need to re-refine it, which brought him such distress. Because he heard other practitioners say that some people tried to re-refine their previous magic treasures, wasting a huge amount of materials, not to mention repeating dozens of times, but never succeeded once.

  What made Wang Guang even more distressed was that the cultivator who had previously possessed a strong talent for refining artifacts could now not even refine the simplest and most convenient artifact, having failed dozens of times in a row.

  "I don't know if I can still refine the Wanxie Gourd." Wang Guang narrowed his eyes, recalling the Wanxie Gourd's power, and his heart involuntarily warmed up.

  That treasure can not only absorb grievances, evil spirits and other negative emotions, but also use the soul to refine more pure negative emotions, which makes him very happy. Unfortunately, the treasure was destroyed, and for a while, he couldn't find a suitable gourd to refine it with.
