Chapter 1, O transgressor, O transgressor

This bead was originally pressed beneath the mat, but after being struck by the thunder, it was completely revealed

After Tifa cried for a while, she left, leaving Thunder all alone on the bed. His injuries had not yet fully healed, and any movement caused excruciating pain.

Ah! In an instant, he felt as if he were about to explode, with blood flowing from all seven orifices. The spiritual energy he had desperately sought through relentless cultivation had now turned into a vengeful spirit seeking his life

As the sixty-first generation disciple of the Longhu Sect's Fuzong outer sect, Thunder naturally understood what this seemingly unremarkable stone chamber truly was

Lowering his head to examine his own appearance, he raised it to observe the furnishings within the room, as Thunder rubbed his slightly aching forehead

Abundant spiritual energy surged wildly into Thunder's body, making every inch of his skin feel refreshed. Thunder believed that in the entire world, aside from the elusive and ethereal Penglai Fairyland, there was probably no place that possessed such rich spiritual energy. The ancestral master truly lived up to his title; a single restriction was able to confine such ample spiritual energy.

Looking around, Lei Ting did not find any magical artifacts or valuable items left by the ancestors. Feeling disappointed, he walked towards the edge of the mat.

Moments later, two individuals entered the stone chamber, their faces pale as they gazed upon the scattered bones and blood on the ground

Only after Thunder grasped that orb did he realize that the ancestral master had sealed the Spirit-Subduing Pearl within the hidden chamber of his ascension.

Thunder was completely unaware that his thoughtless actions had brought disaster to the entire sect, and now he regretted his recklessness

Disciple, fate plays tricks on us; there is no need to blame him any longer. Another person waved his hand, saying, Given this situation, it must be due to his moving the spirit-guarding pearl left by the ancestral master back in the day

The Spirit Suppressing Pearl suppresses the spiritual energy within a radius of one hundred miles, which provides the disciples of Longhu Mountain with a suitable place for cultivation. When the Spirit Pearl moves, the lineage of Longhu Sect changes! Master, in the future, Longhu Sect ... ...

The endless and lengthy journey, Thunder does not know where his consciousness is drifting, there is no light, no sensation, everything is so terrifying

Colin Ullman is the original name of the body currently inhabited by Thunder. Colin's father was a minor baron, thus considered a member of the nobility. However, since the baron's passing, the family's situation has deteriorated significantly; when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Even the servants have sought refuge elsewhere, leaving only Uncle Ock, the butler, and the young maid Tifa.

The sensation is not that of true primordial energy; the primordial energy I have painstakingly cultivated over the years is certainly not like this

Unfortunately, the two of them searched the stone chamber back and forth seven or eight times, but they did not find the location of the spirit pearl

Determined, Thunder lowered his head and entered the stone chamber

A disordered sound of footsteps echoed outside the door, and before long, a small old man, around fifty years old with a weathered face, rushed in. He threw himself in front of Thunder's bed, his old eyes filled with tears, trembling as he grasped Thunder's hand: "Young Master, you are awake? Do you feel any discomfort?"

Is it possible? Thunder operated for a full cycle without any obstacles, the meridians were very smooth, and the surrounding spiritual energy was even more abundant than that of Longhu Mountain, resulting in a significantly better cultivation effect than before. However, when the spiritual energy entered his body and reached the location of the dantian, it was completely assimilated by the demonic power, unable to retain the original properties of the true essence.

"Being hit is just being hit, what fainting!" Thunder said lightly, and the butler sighed, no longer speaking

With a loud bang, the gathering of spiritual energy finally reached a critical point, and the thunder at the very center of the vortex of spiritual energy was instantly shattered into pieces. Amidst a blinding light, the pearl also vanished without a trace

It seems that too much time has passed; otherwise, with Lei Ting's current feeble power, it would be impossible to break the restrictions set by the ancestral master.

But... shouldn't I be dead? Why am I still conscious? The golden core has not been formed, the primordial infant is still absent, and once the physical body perishes, the black and white impermanence should come to collect the soul. Yet, it feels very strange!

The family estate and the fiefdom have been thoroughly stripped and diminished by a nearby local tycoon, leaving this household in a state that can accurately be described as bare and destitute

Taking advantage of the absence of others in the room, Thunder quickly sat cross-legged and assumed the posture he had used in his previous training.

However, ... no one had ever seen the Spirit-Settling Pearl, so at that time, Thunder did not think much of it

Is this really the place where the legendary Master Zhang Tianshi ascended to immortality? Although the stone chamber before me has fallen into disrepair over the years, there is not a single sign of decay. Even when the thunder unintentionally disrupted the preceding restrictions during practice, there was not the slightest sound.

Seeing Thunder staring at him in silence for a long time, Uncle Oak became somewhat flustered, flipping his eyelids and rubbing his face, his voice trembling even more: "Young Master, please don't scare me, say something."

The local wealthy landowner recently set his sights on Tifa, insisting on purchasing the young maid. Colin, of course, was unwilling, and he was beaten to a pulp by several of the landowner's thugs, ultimately fainting from the injuries.

Indeed

My head hurts, and I feel a sense of schizophrenia! Memories that do not belong to me are bouncing around like beans in a frying pan.

The young girl rushed in immediately, breathing heavily, her delicate face showing a hint of excitement and joy, staring blankly at Thunder.

Although the physical body has perished and the cultivation has been lost, the sensation of thunder still lingers. Upon investigation, Lei Ting was astonished to discover that within his dantian, a pearl had unexpectedly appeared. This was not a golden elixir, but rather the Spirit-Subduing Pearl he had seen earlier.

Hmm! Just as Thunder was about to go out to report this momentous news, his attention was drawn to a bead in front of him

Whenever Thunder recalled the master striking his backside fiercely with the board, he couldn't help but swallow hard

The Spirit Suppressing Pearl has two primary functions: first, it suppresses the spiritual energy of Longhu Mountain to prevent leakage; second, it systematically gathers the surrounding spiritual energy for the use of Longhu Mountain. Any disciple with a slight inclination towards learning would know this by consulting the classics.

What exactly is the energy within the body? What is it really?

The body was filled with immense energy, even more surging than the true essence cultivated before, yet Thunder's face turned pale

Colin is pitiable; not only has he lost his family fortune, but he is also bullied everywhere. Now, even his soul has been completely devoured by the thunder.

Nonsense! Thunder glared fiercely at Tifa, casting a menacing look. As the sixty-first generation disciple of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, how could he possibly engage in human trafficking? Moreover, the target was just a young girl

On Longhu Mountain, the celestial phenomena changed dramatically, with a thunderous sound echoing through the clouds! Countless figures surged toward this direction, and the two leading individuals possessed profound abilities, surrounded by spiritual energy, exuding an ethereal aura. Even so, the two were still taken aback by the strange occurrences on Longhu Mountain, their faces turning pale.

This matter must not be known to the master

When she saw the thunder, the fair-faced young girl exclaimed in surprise, then rushed out holding a basin of water, shouting throughout the house: "Uncle Oak, Uncle Oak, the young master has awakened"

This is a prudent approach; otherwise, if someone were to move the spirit orb, not only would the spiritual energy of the Longhu Sect be disrupted, but the flow of fate would also be jeopardized

"Damn it! How can one casually disturb the place where the ancestral master ascended?" One of them calculated with his fingers and immediately said angrily

"Tifa, take good care of the young master. I will go prepare dinner." The butler glanced over, realizing he could not interject, and left after giving a brief reminder

Before even encountering the mat, a breeze stirred up by the thunder had already reduced the mat to powder

The stone chamber is small, and there is even no bed, only a mat.

The three large characters "Zhang Daoling" are carved on the stone wall in front of me. In the entire Longhu Mountain, no one has had the audacity to inscribe these three characters!

First, find the Spirit Pearl! The Master Brother also has a pale complexion, and it is now clear that the spiritual energy on Longhu Mountain has weakened significantly. Thinking about the future... If it weren't for that wicked being being overwhelmed by the spiritual energy, the Master would have considered taking action personally to clean up the sect.

My body hurts a lot; it has been many years since Thunder has experienced such a feeling. In the past, aside from provoking the old master and being chased all over the mountain with a stick, Thunder has truly never been beaten by anyone else

Magic? A brand new term suddenly surged into Thunder's mind, this unfamiliar word emerged from the fused consciousness

Tifa's small face was slightly flushed as she diligently wiped Thunder's face

In just a moment with the book, Thunder felt a deep sorrow as he realized that the skills he had painstakingly cultivated over the years had dissipated in an instant. Moreover, the chaotic energy within him had actually shattered his meridians into fragments.

The door creaked open, and Lei Ting looked up to see a girl in linen clothing carrying a basin of water inside.

The thoughts in my mind are very chaotic; not only do I have my original memories, but there is also an additional segment that does not belong to me

Tifa knows that young master, you are doing this for my sake..." The little girl kept sobbing, "But if this continues..."

The spiritual energy that had originally gathered was no longer restrained, and in an instant, it surged outward, transforming into a tangible force that sent the disciples tumbling in all directions. A fierce wind howled past, and it took quite a while for Longhu Mountain to regain its former tranquility

He blew with all his might, turning the mat into powder, leaving no evidence behind.

What is this? Thunder curiously reached out to pinch the bead, and in an instant, a sudden change occurred. Centered around the bead in Thunder's hand, the surrounding spiritual energy surged violently. This energy circled the bead but could not penetrate it at all. Just as Thunder was standing nearby, the spiritual energy seemed to have found a breakthrough, pouring in from the spiritual acupoints around Thunder's body.

However, unfortunately, Thunder has been practicing in that place every day, year after year. Coupled with the long duration of the restrictions, it was inadvertently broken by Thunder.

The brilliance of the beads grew increasingly intense, dazzling to the point that one could hardly open their eyes

My thoughts gradually became clearer, and the two people in front of me began to align with my hazy memories

This mat is something that was once used by the ancestral master; if it were presented to the master, he would surely be very pleased

This... Thunder was somewhat bewildered, and in a moment of excitement, he actually forgot that this mat was merely an ordinary object. Having been placed here for nearly two thousand years, it must have become quite fragile.

This family is so poor. Even the money for medical treatment was gathered by selling a few items.

Thunder forced a faint smile, pulling down Uncle Oak's hand, and weakly said: "Uncle Oak, I am fine now"

"Young Master, it is good that you are fine with the books," the butler said, wiping his nose and tears. "You have no idea, ever since you fainted, I have been at my wit's end. If it weren't for Tifa holding things together, our household would have been finished."

"Mind your own business!" Lightning took the towel from Tifa's hands and carefully wiped inside the collar, this body had not been cleaned for who knows how many days, always feeling sticky.

"Young Master..." Tifa bit her lip, her large eyes rolling down with tears. "If they come again, you might as well sell Tifa... they won't hit you anymore."

Since the passing of the master and mistress, the Ullmann family has... sigh!" Oak stood up and let out a deep sigh

The young girl approached with a basin of water, dipped a linen towel in hot water, wrung it out, and gently wiped Thunder's face. Thunder glanced at her and recognized that the girl's name was Tifa, and she was a maid in the household

Thunder sadly discovered that he had unexpectedly arrived in a world he had never encountered before, and had taken over the body of this young master

Thunder also found it strange; although the people and things in front of him were both familiar and unfamiliar, logically speaking, he should not have said such things to Ock and Tifa. After some thought, it should still be attributed to the lingering memories of Colin in his mind.

When Thunder awoke from his deep slumber, he sat on the bed in a daze for quite some time

The Spirit-Subduing Pearl, the treasure of the Longhu Sect, is something that every disciple is aware of. However, where exactly the Spirit-Subduing Pearl is located remains unknown, even to the sect leader.

Uncle Oak! Thunder recognized the person in front of him and knew he was the butler, but he had no idea how he knew that

Is it really all right? The butler clearly seemed uneasy

In my memory, this young master was knocked unconscious by a wealthy and powerful person nearby, and the reason was this little beauty before me—Tifa.

The thoughts of Thunder became lively. Should I report to the master and the sect leader now, or should I go in and take a look myself? Currently, the conflict between the Talismans Sect and the Qi Sect is intense. As an outer disciple, if I were to seize the opportunity and obtain the items inside before anyone else, and then present them to the master, I would surely gain his favor, and I could also acquire new methods for inscribing talismans.
