A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 211

Chapter 207 Seven Golden Thunder Bamboos and a Pile of Thunder-Absorbing Pearls: A Glimpse into the Spirit Realm

the purple stone is indeed a Thunder-Absorbing Stone, also known as a rare treasure, the Thunder-Absorbing Pearl.

In this realm, it only appears within the bodies of high-level Thunder Whales.

A few years ago, Han Li killed an 8th-level Thunder Whale that had just undergone its Transformation Tribulation in the outer sea and obtained a small one.

Taking out the Thunder-Absorbing Stone from his storage bag, he made a simple comparison with the ones on the platform.

In terms of size, his was much smaller than any of the ones on the Golden Thunder Bamboo platform.

In terms of color, his Thunder-Absorbing Stone was light purple, and because it also contained a demonized exorcising divine thunder and a heavenly tribulation thunder, black and white-gold lightning occasionally flashed across its surface. The Thunder-Absorbing Stones on the platform, on the other hand, were mostly dark purple and constantly crackled with golden arcs of electricity.

With such a large difference in size, it was clear that all the hundreds of Thunder-Absorbing Stones on the platform were obtained from 8th-level transformed demon cultivators of the Thunder Whale clan.

The seven or eight largest ones might even have come from 10th-level Thunder Whales.

In other words…

In ancient times, the Ice Soul Fairy and other ancient cultivators found over a hundred transformed Thunder Whales and obtained the Thunder-Absorbing Stones within them!

Those ancient cultivators may not have killed the Thunder Whales they found, but they certainly seized them by force.

For the future of this world, the Thunder Whales had no choice but to give them up.

Hundreds of Thunder-Absorbing Stones meant hundreds of Thunder Whales at levels eighty or ninety.

The Thunder Whale race must have suffered greatly.

After tens of thousands of years of accumulation, all the Thunder-Absorbing Stones on the platform were fully charged and filled with Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder.

If this divine thunder were released in large quantities at a single target, the scene would be too beautiful to imagine.

Even a legendary demonic cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage would shudder at the sight

. Furthermore,

the seven ten-thousand-year-old Golden Thunder Bamboos were all in different conditions.

The seven were almost identical in size,

all around ten thousand years old,

and about a foot in length.

However, although all seven Golden Thunder Bamboos were lush and green, each one was greener than the last.

The three greenest stalks already showed faint golden veins.

“Could a Golden Thunder Bamboo that’s ten thousand years old undergo other changes?”

Han Li wondered.

In his memory, these divine trees were classified entirely according to their spiritual age.

Thunder Bamboo under two thousand years old could only release ordinary white lightning.

Those over two thousand years old, while still releasing white lightning, were significantly more powerful.

At five thousand years, the lightning turned blue, and its power increased dramatically.

Ten thousand years old was no longer called Thunder Bamboo, but Golden Thunder Bamboo.

The lightning it released was pale gold, and its power was further enhanced, producing miraculous effects against various evil techniques and demonic arts. This is why cultivators called it “the lightning that wards off evil.”

Furthermore, once Thunder Bamboo reached ten thousand years of age, it would stop growing taller and instead sprout another small bamboo stalk from its rootstock.

The Golden Thunder Bamboo before him had seven large sections and one small section, which was probably the reason.

Because more than 60,000 to nearly 70,000 years have passed since ancient times.

A spirit bamboo that was only a few thousand years old back then is now over 72,000 years old.

Several of them, which are over 50,000 years old, have undergone some kind of change, showing subtle differences from the ten-thousand-year-old Golden Thunder Bamboo that was matured by the small bottle of green liquid in my memory.

I wonder what characteristics these changes have given to these Golden Thunder Bamboo?

“Seven Golden Thunder Bamboos are enough for me to forge a complete set of Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords!”

“The extra section can be used to forge other Golden Thunder Bamboo magic weapons!”

“And these fallen Golden Thunder Bamboo leaves are also treasures!”

The leaves of the Golden Thunder Bamboo can be used to forge a divine thunder called “Golden罡 Demon-Slaying Thunder”!

This divine thunder is far more powerful than the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder in dealing with demons! It is a powerful

weapon for dealing with extraterrestrial demons after entering the Mahayana stage.

It is also a major means of dealing with the demonic thoughts of extraterrestrial evil spirits when transcending tribulation and ascending to the Immortal Realm.

Another use is to feed spirit insects, which has a high chance of causing them to mutate.

Of course,

the amount fed cannot be small.

On the platform before them, a thick layer of Golden Thunder Bamboo leaves had accumulated.

These were all naturally shed after the Golden Thunder Bamboo reached its ten-thousand-year age.

“Indeed…”

“Time is the most precious wealth in this world!”

Without tens of thousands of years of accumulation, there wouldn’t be so many Golden Thunder Bamboo on the platform, nor could the bamboo leaves have piled up into such a thick layer.

If he were only given a section of Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, or even a section of Purple Thunder Bamboo with blue lightning, he could only stare blankly, right?

But tens of thousands of years of accumulation allowed that small section of Heavenly Thunder Bamboo to not only grow into a large cluster of Golden Thunder Bamboo, but also leave him with a large number of Golden Thunder Bamboo leaves that would be priceless in the Spirit Realm! Incidentally, it also filled hundreds of Thunder-Absorbing Pearls with exorcising divine thunder!

This is the charm of time.

“Golden Thunder Bamboo is almost extinct in the human realm, and it is equally precious in the Spirit Realm.”

Two or three hundred thousand years ago, when the Evil Dragon Clan, a dominant race, ruled the Spirit Realm, they discovered that Golden Thunder Bamboo countered them, posing a fatal threat to their race.

Therefore,

they implemented a scorched-earth policy, almost completely destroying the Golden Thunder Bamboo in the Spirit Realm.

They also attacked countless surrounding minor realms to eliminate Golden Thunder Bamboo as much as possible.

“I remember, the Evil Dragon Clan incurred the wrath of many, and ultimately, this overlord of the Spirit Realm disappeared, replaced by the rise of ten super clans and forces, including the Horned Chi Clan, the Sea King Clan, the Flood Dragon Clan, and the Helian Merchant Alliance.”

“The Demon Realm, because of the Mother of the Moths, targeted a corner of the Spirit Realm’s Fengyuan Continent tens of thousands of years ago for two reasons: first, the Spirit Realm was close to the Demon Realm, making invasion convenient; second, the Golden Thunder Bamboo grew slowly, and its quantity in the Spirit Realm was becoming increasingly scarce. On the Fengyuan Continent, one of the three continents of the Spirit Realm, there were hardly any demon-repelling treasures crafted from Golden Thunder Bamboo anymore.”

In contrast, the White Light Realm and other major realms still had a considerable amount of Golden Thunder Bamboo.

Golden Thunder Bamboo magical treasures were not rare.

If the powerful figures of the Demon Realm led an army to deal with those realms, they would not only gain no advantage but might also suffer heavy losses.

It’s best to pick on the weak, isn’t it?

Besides, the Spirit Realm has hundreds of clans, and the ten major forces are mutually restraining, their strength unable to unite as one. If the human race and several nearby races were invaded, the other major races wouldn’t bother with it.

Furthermore, the reason the Demon Realm specifically targeted this human realm among the hundreds or thousands of smaller realms subordinate to the human race of the Spirit Realm was…

partly because the Demon Realm happened to discover this realm through a spatial rift when the Spirit Realm and Demon Realm intersected! It was also because this realm had continuously produced geniuses who ascended to the Spirit Realm, strengthening the human race within the Spirit Realm! These geniuses, after ascending to the Spirit Realm, would rapidly grow to the Refinement Stage and even the Integration Stage, and for certain reasons, these human geniuses who ascended to the Spirit Realm were always at the forefront of battle! Their eagerness caused the ancient demons a headache! This created considerable resistance and trouble for the Demon Realm’s many invasions.

Later, the reason the Demon Realm’s invasions weren’t limited to ordinary ancient demon invasions, but even alarmed the Great Ascension Saint Lord, causing a shard of his consciousness to descend, was because the ancient demons discovered the existence of the Golden Thunder Bamboo and the Mysterious Heaven Immortal Vine in this realm.

In short, multiple factors contributed to this.

“On another note…”

“Golden Thunder Bamboo has become so rare in the Spirit Realm, are these Golden Thunder Bamboos in front of me becoming even more precious?”

“That Mahayana stage senior who created the Azure Origin Sword Technique seems to be quite interested in Golden Thunder Bamboo and its leaves, right?”

“If I can successfully ascend to the Spirit Realm in the future, could I bring a large section of ten-thousand-year-old Golden Thunder Bamboo to pay my respects…”

It feels like there’s a good chance.

He just needs to reveal that he cultivates the Azure Origin Sword Technique, then sincerely try to help Yuan Yao ascend, and present a large section of Golden Thunder Bamboo as a gift for becoming a disciple.

Wouldn’t he have a powerful backer?

…

He’s decided to use the six Golden Thunder Bamboos to forge a complete set of Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords.

The remaining one will be kept as a gift for becoming a disciple, an investment in the future.

Some of the Golden Thunder Bamboo leaves will be fed to the Gold-Eating Insects, some will be kept to forge the Golden罡 Extinguishing Demon God Thunder, and some will be kept for him to try after his body refinement is complete!

Since the spirit insects could mutate as a result, why couldn’t he use the leaves of the Golden Thunder Bamboo to improve his physique as well?

“What a pity, there are still too few Golden Thunder Bamboos.”

Back then, the Ice Soul Fairy and the others scavenged most of the human realm and only found one plant to grow here.

If those big shots had planted ten or eight more back then, wouldn’t he be able to sit back and reap the benefits and take off on the spot?

What’s the Demon Abyss? He’ll go and wipe it out after becoming a great cultivator.

“Then, let’s break the restriction and take the treasure first.”

Muttering to himself, Han Li first controlled the Gold-Eating Insects to gnaw at the restriction barrier. It had some effect, but not much. The restriction here recovered extremely quickly, and the Gold-Eating Insects’ devouring efficiency was even slower than the barrier’s recovery efficiency.

If the Gold-Eating Insects were allowed to continue devouring, the swarm would become stronger and stronger, while the restriction would become weaker and weaker. With this ebb and flow, eventually one day, the scales of victory would tip in favor of the Gold-Eating Insects.

But Han Li couldn’t choose this method:

“No, I can’t fight a war of attrition with the Void Heaven Palace like this. My time is running out.”

The Void Heaven Palace will be submerged back into the void in a few days, then ascend to the boundary layer again to collect the sun, moon, and starlight.

If he can’t leave in time, the consequences are unpredictable.

“It seems I have no choice but to be more violent.”

Countless compressed wind blades rose from his palms, compressing and compressing again until they gradually condensed into a beam of white light.

It was the fusion of countless compressed wind blades into a final strike.

This beam of white light swept across the surrounding void, easily tearing colorful “wounds” into the originally stable space.

“Go.”

Han Li’s hands moved like butterflies flitting among flowers, quickly completing the hand seals.

The next moment, a spatial rift that seemed to move freely was carefully and cautiously opened by him, his forehead covered in sweat.
