Chapter 66: Heavenly Thunder is Just a Pekingese (a type of Dog)


    Sword Formed from Qi!


    Qi Yuan had already perfected the Metal element and had abundant Metal Qi within his body.


    Metal Qi and mana could be interchanged.


    With a single point of his finger, golden light appeared.


    A golden sword materialized in his hand!


    The golden sword wasposed entirely of Metal Qi from the Five Elements.


    It was incredibly sharp.


    Beside him, Dong Xian watched with wide eyes.


    What was this?


    Did Senior Brother Qi Yuan really form a sword from Qi?


    How did he do it?


    Deep within his soul, Elder Qi seemed thoughtful.


    "This seems somewhat like martial arts supernatural abilities."


    Qi Yuan, holding the sword formed from Qi, said slowly, "Watch as I cut down the birds in the sky with one swing of my sword!"


    As he spoke, he raised the golden sword towards the sky.


    But at that moment, a sudden bolt of lightning descended from the clear sky, heading straight for Qi Yuan.


    On a sunny day, why was there lightning?


    And why was it striking him?


    Qi Yuan was startled: "Oh no, I raised it too high and attracted the lightning."


    He quickly swung his arm, throwing the golden sword away, whichnded far off.


    The lightning struck the golden sword instantly.


    In a sh, the golden sword shattered, turning into Metal Qi and dissipating into the air.


    The lightning also vanished.


    Dong Xian, witnessing this scene, waspletely bewildered.


    What just happened?


    At this moment, the voice of Artifact Elder echoed in his mind.


    "This Qi Yuan likely practiced some strange forbidden technique, hence the heavenly punishment in the form of lightning. Never attempt this sword formed from Qi technique." Elder Qi warned.


    Dong Xian immediately understood, recalling records about heavenly lightning in royal archives.


    Nowadays, heavenly lightning almost never appears.


    However, practicing some bizarre forbidden techniques could attract heavenly lightning.


    Dong Xian quickly said, "Senior Brother Qi Yuan, you shouldn''t use this sword formed from Qi technique anymore; it''s a forbidden technique not tolerated by the heavens."


    To be honest, Dong Xian was still quite shaken, fearing that Qi Yuan might be struck dead by the lightning.


    If that happened, how could the master of the Seven Colors Peak tolerate him?


    Meanwhile, Artifact Elder in his mind found it extremely peculiar.


    Normally, if one practices forbidden techniques, the heavenly lightning punishes the person.


    But why did the lightning only strike the sword Qi Yuan threw away, and not him?


    Listening to Dong Xian, Qi Yuan wore a perplexed expression: "Wasn''t it because I raised it too high and the sword, being a conductor, attracted the lightning?"


    "Could it really be a forbidden technique?"


    Dong Xian didn''t understand Qi Yuan''s first part, but heprehended thetter. He emphasized: "Senior Brother Qi Yuan, you should refrain from practicing this technique in the future!"


    Dong Xian thought, it was fortunate he had Qi Yuan demonstrate first.


    If Qi Yuan had taught him the technique and he practiced it unknowingly, he might have been struck dead by lightning before even forming the sword!


    Was Qi Yuan''s mention of using Qi to form a horse implying that riding a horse in such a manner would make it hard to escape the lightning?


    "Senior Brother, I take my leave." Dong Xian bid farewell to Qi Yuan and swiftly distanced himself.


    As expected, lunatics are not only hard to deal with but also dangerous to stay around for too long.


    Back on the Seven Colors Peak, Qi Yuan sat on the ground, deep in thought.


    Forming a sword from Qi!


    Suddenly, he stood up, forming a sword from Qi again!


    Lightning descended once more without warning.


    Qi Yuan quickly threw the sword away, and the lightning instantly shattered it.


    Qi Yuan saw this and thought, "It seems it''s really a forbidden technique!"


    But instead of disappointment, his eyes were filled with excitement.


    "I truly am a genius, having created another divine ability!"


    "This divine ability shall be called ''I Command the Heavenly Thunder, Striking Wherever I Point!''"


    He condensed another golden sword, and lightning descended from the sky once more.


    "Strike there!"


    He threw the golden sword, and the lightning swiftly struck it, shattering the seemingly indestructible sword.


    "No, I need to rename it. This lightning acts like a dog, I can''t be its master."


    The sword was like a bone, and the lightning like a dog.


    He threw it, and the lightning pounced.


    It was quite interesting.


    "I truly am a genius, having created another secret technique!"


    The power of the lightning was far greater than that of his sword formed from Qi.


    Unfortunately, this secret technique couldn''t be used in the game.


    Otherwise, it would surely shock the primitive extraterrestrial demons.


    ...


    In the Yin-Yang Forbidden.


    Hitomi looked at Qi Yuan and slowly said, "The Yin-Yang Boundary Stone is in your hands.


    With the Yin-Yang Boundary Stone, you mustprehend life and death, see the great terror between life and death, to truly control the Yin-Yang Forbidden."


    Qi Yuan held an ordinary stone, looking puzzled.


    [Yin-Yang Boundary Stone, a peculiar stone in the Yin-Yang Forbidden.]


    "Comprehend life and death, see the great terror between life and death, how is that done?" Qi Yuan asked.


    "I don''t know." Hitomi shook his head, "It depends on yourprehension."


    After speaking, Hitomi returned to his coffin.


    Qi Yuan held the Yin-Yang Boundary Stone, took Little Bride''s hand, and left the ce.


    "Comprehend life and death, does that mean I have to die?"


    Holding the Yin-Yang Boundary Stone, Qi Yuan thought for a moment, then picked up hisrge sword and stabbed himself.


    Blood flowed.


    Little Bride beside him immediately showed a look of anxiety.


    She quickly covered Qi Yuan''s body.


    The red armor covered Qi Yuan.


    His injuries instantly vanished.


    Little Bride had proactively merged with him, assuming a defensive stance.


    Seeing this, Qi Yuan felt a pang in his heart.


    His injuries were reced by the armor.


    "Little Bride, I''m sorry, I shouldn''t have hurt myself."


    Seemingly hearing Qi Yuan''s words, Little Bride disengaged the merge, clinging closely to him, silently leaning on him.


    Qi Yuan held Little Bride, and seeing she wasn''t injured, he said, "My mistake, I didn''t think it through.


    Now that I have a wife, I can''t act solely on my whims."


    As Qi Yuan spoke, heughed.


    Little Bride didn''t understand why heughed, just stayed close to him.


    Qi Yuan pondered, "How exactly do I control the Yin-Yang Forbidden?"


    "Do I need to grasp the true essence of Yin and Yang, speaking in a Yin-Yang manner?"


    Being a positive person, how could he speak in a Yin-Yang manner?


    Impossible, right?


    Just then, something unexpected happened to Qi Yuan.


    "Did I change maps?"


    He suddenly found himself in a teleportation array, the destination being the treacherous Tian Jue, one of the Four Forbidden and Two Absolute ces.


    "Without fully mastering the Yin-Yang Forbidden, I''m transported to a new map. Did Iplete the dungeon?"


    Qi Yuan felt bewildered.


    "Or does mastering the Yin-Yang Boundary Stone count aspleting the Yin-Yang Forbidden?


    But the Heavenly Dao fragment reward hasn''t been given yet?"


    "Lousy game, must be a bug!"


    Qi Yuan thought it must be a game bug.


    He pondered for a moment and sent a message to Jin Li.


    "Jin Li, be careful, this game is full of bugs.


    I haven''t evenpleted the Yin-Yang Forbidden, and now I''m transported to a new map, Tian Jue."


    Shortly after, Jin Li''s message arrived: "Tian Jue? Be cautious, should I send the Clothing Department''s elite troops to help you?"


    She used "send" instead of "dispatch."


    She always remembered that the elite troops of the Clothing Department originally belonged to Qi Yuan.


    "No need, they''re too weak." Qi Yuan decisively refused.


    The strongest of the Clothing Department''s elite troops were only Supreme Sovereigns, not even reaching the Heavenly Realm.


    Having epted the divine reflections of many beings, Qi Yuan gradually epted the NPC''s level ssifications.


    On the other side, Jin Li, who had been fighting and running all the time, fell silent for a moment, then said: "Tian Jue is extremely dangerous, and there is a Flying Ascension tform. Do not ascend it.


    It''s said that ascending will lead to flying ascension, leaving this world.


    But whether that''s true, no one knows."


    Qi Yuan replied, "I''ll remember that, don''t worry, I won''t fly ascension before we meet in person."


    On the other end, Jin Li, who had been running all the time, felt a ripple in her previously calm heart.


    She looked out the window at the ancient Jicai Tree, seemingly covering the entire Moon Watching Continent, its branches dotted with star-like lights, resembling a giant, beautifully lit Christmas tree.


    "Alright, when the timees, let''s meet under the ancient Jicai Tree.


    The scenery there is extraordinarily beautiful, the most beautiful ce in the world."


    "Really? I''m really looking forward to it." Qi Yuan also wanted to see how beautiful the scenery under the ancient Jicai Tree was and what Jin Li, whom he had never met, looked like.


    As they chatted, time flew by.


    "Heavenly Peril is approaching, goodbye for now, chatter."


    Qi Yuan ended the chat, holding Little Bride''s hand, bing more vignt.


    The scene changed, and he found himself in an endless desert.


    "So this is Tian Jue?"


    Qi Yuan looked up and saw a massive floating tform in the sky.


    Not a city, but a gigantic floating high tform.


    The tform was pitch-ck, but this ck seemed eerie, as if stained with blood.


    How much blood would it take to dye such arge tformpletely red?


    "Is this the Ascension tform?" Qi Yuan looked at the tform, lost in thought.


    At this moment, a voice full of authority came: "Halt, stranger!"


    Qi Yuan looked over and saw a man in golden armor appear not far from him. The man was tall and imposing, wearing golden armor that looked extremely majestic. However, he had only one arm; the other seemed to have been cut off by someone.


    "I am the Divine General of the White Sun Ascension Gate, under the Great Sun!" The golden-armored man spoke, his voice resounding.


    Qi Yuan looked at the golden-armored man, his heart alert. Great Sun? A Divine General? The White Sun Illusory Technique he had obtained was indeed from the Great Sun. However, from the memories of Long Pan, Zang Hua, and others, this figure was not among the ten Divine Generals of the God Court. This Divine General didn''t seem to be in a living state either, somewhat simr to Jin Zu, merely a remnant of consciousness.


    "To ascend the White Sun Ascension tform, one must undergo 129,600 battles! Win every battle, and you may ascend the tform! Do you wish to challenge? Once you ascend the tform, life and death are beyond your control!"


    Qi Yuan had no interest in ascending the Ascension tform. Jin Li had also told him that the Ascension tform might be dangerous. He asked, "I want to control Tian Jue, not ascend the Ascension tform. How can I control Tian Jue?"


    The golden-armored Divine General spoke mechanically, as if without intelligence: "Ascend the White Sun Ascension tform, y me, and you can control Tian Jue. You will be the master of Tian Jue!"


    "Really?" Qi Yuan stared at the golden-armored Divine General. It seemed he had no choice but to ascend the Ascension tform. Oh right, NPCs shouldn''t lie, right? The developers of this game wouldn''t be so cruel to yers, would they?


    Thinking of the game''s graphics and clichéd plot, Qi Yuan couldn''t help but think that the artists of this game must all ride the game designers to work.
