Chapter 237: Instant Success
Thunder filled the sky!
Ye Yun saw endless lightning completely occupying heaven and earth.
Suddenly, the thunder condensed into a single bolt that shot forward, traversing thousands of miles in an instant as though teleporting through space.
The scene shifted again to reveal boundless thunder, which then coalesced once more into lightning crossing vast distances.
This scene repeated millions of times within Ye Yun’s consciousness.
He watched silently, all else vanishing from his perception until only the lightning remained in his eyes and heart.
Whoosh!
The lightning finally dissipated. As peace returned, Ye Yun slowly opened his eyes.
“Illusory Thunderlight Escape, Transformation into Thunder. Reaching such a cultivation level would be truly fearsome.” Though Ye Yun had witnessed the Heart of Immortals and Demons, endured trials in the Hualun Secret Vault, and gained new perspectives from the Ancestor of the Sword Path, the Illusory Thunderlight Escape still shocked him. If one could traverse thousands of miles instantly, what enemy could ever strike them?
His heart stirred. Sitting cross-legged with closed eyes, he visualized countless lightning bolts flickering before vanishing.
Yet immediate mastery eluded him. The jade tablet’s earlier message stated the practice methods lacked only the final step. But when Ye Yun began cultivating, he found no methods at all—only visions of thunder and lightning.
Comprehension!
The Illusory Thunderlight Escape wasn’t a conventional cultivation technique. It required mental intent—true understanding of its essence brought instant success. Without this, no amount of strength, talent, or training resources would suffice.
Ye Yun sat motionless until his brows twitched. His hands began rotating before him as purple lightning crackled between his fingers.
Simultaneously, the pile of top-grade spirit stones before him floated upward, controlled by an unseen force.
Crack!
The stones abruptly shattered, filling the room with spiritual energy.
Ye Yun noticed the secret room changing. Energy-triggered mist seeped from every surface, merging with the stones’ aura to form an unfamiliar power. This energy surged into his body like a raging torrent.
He tried sealing his six senses and closing his pores against the invasive energy. Yet when he accidentally inhaled it, his mind sharpened with unprecedented clarity.
The room seemed to brim with heavenly laws, almost tangible to the touch.
Instinctively reaching out, Ye Yun saw a flash of light—the vanished Illusory Thunderlight Escape reappeared before him.
The lightning now moved slowly, every detail laid bare.
He finally grasped the technique’s process, each step burning into his mind.
“So this is how it works!”
Ecstasy filled him. Once comprehended, executing the Illusory Thunderlight Escape became simple—channel Thunder Spirit Qi through his meridians and repeat.
After two cycles, Ye Yun stood. Lightning crackled around him as electric snakes danced. He stepped forward, darting ten zhang away in a lightning-flash instant.
Ye Yun didn’t pause, allowing the thunder to crackle across his body as he darted through the secret room. Had anyone entered, they’d have found Room Four no longer dim but brightly lit by flickering lightning, exposing every tiny detail.
His figure flashed with thunderlight as he moved through the chamber, his speed varying until it steadied.
Abruptly, the lightning vanished. The electric snakes faded, leaving Ye Yun standing motionless at the room’s center, a faint smile on his lips.
“I’ve finally mastered the Illusory Thunderlight Escape.”
Excitement surged through him. The technique lived up to its reputation—when unleashed, his speed multiplied tenfold. Even peak Qi refining stage disciples would struggle to lay a finger on him now.
With this skill, his confidence against threats like Yang Hualong soared.
“One more breakthrough, and I’ll storm Junzi Hall without hesitation.” Smiling, he approached the stone chamber’s exit, true qi gathering in his palm.
He paused, recalling something. During his cultivation, when the top-grade spirit stones shattered, the room had expelled a mist that merged with spiritual energy, forming an exotic energy. This energy had inexplicably revealed every nuance of the Illusory Thunderlight Escape to him.
“This chamber hides secrets,” he murmured, running fingers along a corner’s stone wall. After half an hour of fruitless searching, he gave up. The seamless walls defied inspection—no cracks, no pores, carved from an unfamiliar crystal. Even his cultivation strength couldn’t scratch its surface.
Such flawless, unyielding material surpassed any sect’s usual resources.
“Without that mist, I’d never have grasped the technique so completely,” he mused, squinting at the doorway. “If other chambers hold similar wonders, their value’s unimaginable. I must explore them all.”
Creaking open the door, he exited. The character “Four” above the threshold pulsed faintly before dimming.
At the attendant’s desk, he placed down a jade tablet. “Returning this, Senior Brother.”
The book-absorbed youth didn’t look up. “What tablet?”
Ye Yun sighed. “The one for Room Four’s cultivation.”
“Ah! Ye Yun!” The disciple finally glanced up. “Mastered that technique?”
“Barely grasped the basics.”
“As expected. Mental intent-recorded techniques can’t be taught—only felt.” The youth took the tablet.
As Ye Yun turned to leave, the disciple stood abruptly. “Wait. To truly master Illusory Thunderlight Escape, you need thunder tempering. Without harmonizing your body with lightning through the final verse, Transformation into Thunder remains impossible.”
“You’ve practiced this?” Ye Yun whirled.
“Without Thunder Spirit Qi? Impossible.” The disciple shrugged. “Read it somewhere. Might be useless.”
Disappointed, Ye Yun gave a perfunctory bow before leaving.
Outside, confidence warmed him. With doubled speed, even Yang Hualong couldn’t corner him now.
“How far will this thunderlight carry me?”
Gazing at the mountain path, his smile deepened.
