The successor of the Thunder God has been determined, and no one is his opponent, let alone someone who could take the inheritance from him. The martial artists outside the inheritance tower left with great reluctance. They did not know when the Thunder God Temple would end, so they prepared to explore the Thunder God Temple to see if there were any other opportunities.
Ren Pingsheng returned to the Thunder Sea after spending five days there, and he made some progress in the Thunder's Realm. As for the sword technique he learned in the inheritance tower, he has mastered it well. Since this sword technique does not have a name, he decided to call it 'Thunder Sword Technique.' This technique was learned in the Thunder God Temple and belongs to the thunder attribute.
In terms of rank, its power far exceeds that of heavenly level. In fact, there are very few sword techniques that exceed heavenly level with a single attribute. Most are combinations of two attributes, which provide shortcuts and inspiration for martial artists at the sect level to create their own martial skills.
However, with the support of Artistic Conception and having comprehended it to a great extent, even sword techniques of heavenly level or below can be quite formidable. Therefore, many sword techniques he practiced before were still retained. For instance, when Ren Pingsheng fights, he still uses techniques like 'Gold Slaughter' and 'Wind Sword.' Perhaps only when he creates enough martial skills will he discard these old techniques.
One day, the entire Thunder God Temple shook, startling all the martial artists inside. However, they quickly realized that it was likely that the Thunder God Temple was about to close. Just as they thought this, they felt a tightening sensation all over their bodies and were expelled from the Thunder God Temple. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves outside the Thunder God Temple.
"Ah, Lady of Yuzhou City is here too?" As Ren Pingsheng just emerged, he spotted a familiar figure in the distance. It seemed she had also entered the Thunder God Temple but had gone unnoticed before.
"This is bad; I need to leave quickly. The Soul Pursuit Blood Seal on me was sealed eight days ago and will break in two days. If she notices then, it will be troublesome."
He calmly followed the crowd as they slowly walked out. There were two thousand martial artists who entered this time; very few died in the Thunder God Temple—no more than four hundred. After all, this place is for inheritance, so the dangers are relatively fewer.
"Ah... where is that damn Leizhen? I must kill him! The Thunder God inheritance is mine!" Just after exiting the Thunder God Temple, the Young Master of the Thunder God Sect shouted with a twisted expression. Not only did he fail to obtain the inheritance in the Thunder God Temple this time, but he also suffered serious injuries and lost his left arm.
Perhaps within the Thunder God Temple, he could do nothing against Leizhen; however, outside of it, with the support of his powerful Thunder God Sect in Leizhou, he had nothing to fear. Now all he thought about was killing Leizhen and seizing the Thunder God inheritance. He even contemplated having his father—the royal-level powerhouse—intervene.
This loud shout immediately reminded other martial artists as well. Now that they were out of the Thunder God Temple, their thoughts about inheritance began to stir again. They turned their heads in search of Leizhen, this successor of the Thunder God.
"We must find that kid named Leizhen; we have to get our hands on the Thunder God inheritance." Many powerful martial artists thought this way in their hearts. As for those with lesser cultivation but strong backgrounds, they began relaying messages back home to have their forces take action.
The Thunder God inheritance can lead one to become a god-level powerhouse; this temptation would entice not only king-level powerhouses but even royal-level ones. Once this news spread out, all of Leizhou trembled as various factions sent people out to search for traces of Leizhen, this successor of the Thunder God. Even some hidden masters moved secretly.
Unfortunately, it seemed that Leizhen had vanished without a trace; after the closure of the Thunder God Temple, there was no news about him. Many martial artists who entered together searched high and low around that area but found no leads whatsoever. Nevertheless, many factions did not give up; because of the matter concerning the Thunder God inheritance, dark currents surged throughout Leizhou.
After leaving the Thunder God Temple, Ren Pingsheng departed immediately. Many others left with him as well; thus he did not stand out too much since those who entered came from all directions—including many from other states. Those without strength or influence left early.
Once far away from the Thunder God Temple, Ren Pingsheng flew at full speed toward his destination. The distance to Thunder God City was such that he could reach it in a day’s time. This way, he could use a teleportation array to leave here. By then he would be over a hundred thousand miles away; even if his Soul Pursuit Blood Seal broke free then, he would not have to worry anymore.
Fortunately, the journey went smoothly without any unexpected incidents. Ren Pingsheng arrived at Thunder God City without any issues and then left through the teleportation array. After several twists and turns, he finally reached Luoyue City, where he had agreed to meet Yi Qingyi. By this time, it had already been a month since leaving Thunder God City.
"Ren Brother, you finally made it! I've been worried about you all year!" When Yi Qingyi saw Ren Pingsheng, her eyes immediately turned red as she rushed into his arms, complaining.
"Hehe, didn't I come back? Let's rest here for a few days before setting off again," Ren Pingsheng said gently while patting her on the head.
"Yes, during this time, I've been hearing a lot about the Thunder God inheritance; it seems like they are looking for someone!"
"That's right. The Thunder God inheritance has fallen into someone else's hands. It has nothing to do with us, so let's not worry about it."
They stayed in Luoyue City for half a month, during which the most talked-about topic was the Thunder God inheritor. This matter was well-known throughout Leizhou and had even spread to nearby states. Everyone was searching for the Thunder God inheritor, and the purpose was obvious.
"Ren Brother, let's leave today! I want to see your hometown sooner; there's nothing fun to do here anymore," Yi Qingyi said one day, unable to hold back.
"Alright, let's go now," Ren Pingsheng nodded. They didn't have much to pack and left immediately.
Although Luoyue City was the easternmost first-tier city in Leizhou and the closest city to the border with Snow State, there were still five or six hundred miles to travel to reach the border. Most of the journey consisted of second-tier and third-tier cities without teleportation arrays, so they could only travel slowly.
This time, Ren Pingsheng and Yi Qingyi were not pursued by anyone; they treated the journey as training, walking and stopping along the way. They encountered many situations, helped some people, and also faced some troublesome matters. It took them over half a year before they finally arrived at the last stop in Leizhou.
"This is Cangmang City, the last city in Leizhou. Although it's only a third-tier city, it is exceptionally prosperous because it is the final resting place for martial artists entering Cangmang Mountain." The speaker was none other than Leizhen, the Thunder God inheritor that everyone in Leizhou was searching for.
"Finally leaving Leizhou! I must thank you for your help!" Ren Pingsheng said with a smile.
His encounter with Leizhen was somewhat coincidental; while training with Yi Qingyi along the way, they unintentionally came across Leizhen who was severely injured and being pursued. They saved him and successfully shook off their pursuers by constantly changing directions to confuse them.
Not long ago, his Soul Pursuit Blood Seal unexpectedly broke and was noticed by the Lady of Yuzhou City, who quickly pursued them. Fortunately, Leizhen intervened and repelled her, allowing them both to escape unharmed and arrive here safely.
"Haha, you saved me once; now we're even!" he said nonchalantly.
"We're about to enter Cangmang Mountain and then cross it back to the Eastern Region. Do you have any plans?" Ren Pingsheng asked after thinking for a moment. The two had gotten along quite well during their acquaintance, which prompted his question.
"East Domain? Since we've met, it must be fate. I can't stay in this Southern Region any longer, so a trip to the East Domain wouldn't be bad. But the Cangmang Mountain is too dangerous; shouldn't we consider a different direction?"
"That would take at least four or five more years, which is too long. Although the Cangmang Mountain is somewhat dangerous, if we are careful, it shouldn't be a big problem. Who knows, we might even encounter some opportunities!"
"Haha, that's a good idea! Let's hurry and leave this place! I'm just afraid that the Lady of Yuzhou City has already noticed my identity; staying any longer would be dangerous." Leizhen laughed heartily and flew towards the distant Cangmang Mountain.
"Qingyi, let's go as well. Once we pass through Cangmang Mountain, we can return to Snow State." Ren Pingsheng said with a somewhat dazed expression; he had been away from the East Domain for a full ten years. Although he didn't know how long it would take to cross Cangmang Mountain this time, it would still be quite a while. He just wondered if his friends were all doing well.
Not thinking too much about it anymore, the two of them flew towards Cangmang Mountain one after the other. The distance to Cangmang Mountain was only about ten thousand miles, which was just a day's journey for them, and they soon arrived at the foot of the mountain.
"Cangmang Mountain stretches over five million miles; it truly lives up to its reputation," Ren Pingsheng remarked as he looked at the endless mountains before him. He clearly remembered that when he was in Huangshi Village, he had seen a similar scene; only that time it was in the East Domain, while this time it was in the Southern Region.
"Haha, there are many terrifying creatures here; I hope we won't encounter any!" Leizhen joked. In an instant, the three of them disappeared into Cangmang Mountain.
Cangmang Mountain is also a well-known place in the Southern Region, a paradise for many martial artists seeking adventure. It stands at the junction of the Southern Region and the East Domain, stretching over five million miles.
For king-level martial artists or even sect-level martial artists, five or six hundred million miles might only be considered a relatively long distance; however, it is far from being daunting. If they are willing, they could cross that distance in about ten days. Yet very few dare to venture deep into Cangmang Mountain.
This is because many king-level, emperor-level, and even emperor-class beasts reside deep within Cangmang Mountain. They live in its depths, and even emperor-level experts who encounter them often do not return.
Therefore, when many powerful figures from the Southern Region learned that the inheritor of Thunder God had entered Cangmang Mountain, they hesitated and ultimately could only send some disciples to operate in areas outside of one hundred thousand miles from Cangmang Mountain, hoping to find Leizhen. As for entering the depths where their lives could be threatened at any moment, they did not dare to do so lightly.
