Inside the soul power source.
Fang Chen's body fell directly into the vortex.
With Fang Chen as the core, the entire soul power source instantly turned into a huge vortex.
And after this vortex completely appeared, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky.
Thick thunderbolts constantly bombarded down and shot into the vortex.
The old man on the shore raised his deep eyes and looked at the void.
In an instant, he was a little dazed.
As if he had returned to the past, he saw his master and his fellow apprentices.
"Master."
The old man called out loudly.
Rumble!
A loud noise woke the old man up from his memories.
When the old man woke up, he was so excited that his body was trembling.
"It's actually this secret method."
The old man looked at the fierce thunderbolts in the sky and was very excited.
If it was any other secret method, the old man wouldn't be so excited.
Because this secret method was created by the old man's master.
Back then, the master created this secret method and taught it to his fellow apprentices.
Now, he was the only one left.
"Master, I didn't expect your secret method to reappear in the world." The old man laughed loudly.
Finally, his eyes stared at Fang Chen in the vortex.
If the old man had thrown Fang Chen into the Soul Power Spring in the beginning to torture Fang Chen, then the old man would have done the same.
But now, the old man's mentality had undergone an earth-shaking change.
All of this was because Fang Chen sensed the soul secret method created by his master.
He stared at Fang Chen with blazing eyes.
Time passed bit by bit.
The old man on the shore was extremely anxious.
At this time, the terrifying thunderbolts in the sky had dissipated.
Why hasn't the vortex in the soul power source disappeared? Where did that kid go? Is he in danger?
A series of questions appeared in the old man's mind.
He was very anxious.
However, there was nothing he could do.
When a martial artist was sensing the soul secret method, he couldn't interfere with the soul power source.
Once he forcefully interfered, it would cause heavy damage to the martial artist.
However, just as the old man was anxious, suddenly, a vibration sound came from the soul power source.
Crash!
The vortex disappeared, and the soul power source returned to its original state.
Fang Chen sat cross-legged on the surface of the soul power spring. His eyes were closed, and there were traces of lightning aura around his body.
"I sensed it."
Seeing that Fang Chen was safe and sound, the old man was overjoyed.
Soon after, the old man waved his hand and removed the seal above the soulforce source. Then, he took a step forward and arrived in front of Fang Chen.
At this moment, Fang Chen slowly opened his eyes.
In his mind, five bold and powerful words appeared.
Then, there was a lot of information.
Ah
Fang Chen let out a blood-curdling scream. His head almost exploded.
However, this was all within the old man's expectations.
Seeing Fang Chen clutching his head in pain, the old man's smile became even brighter.
Every martial artist who sensed the Soul Secret Technique would go through this process.
When the secret art drilled into one's mind, it would cause one's soul to tremble and cause pain.
However, it will be fine in a while.
Sure enough, after a minute, Fang Chen was no longer in pain.
He raised his head and saw the old man's wretched smile.
"Kid, you really surprised me." The old man smiled.
"I didn't expect you to be able to sense the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique."
Fang Chen was startled when he heard this.
He had just sensed the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique, how did the old man know?
As if seeing Fang Chen's doubts, the old man directly explained, "Kid, the soulforce source contains the soul insights of many strong martial artists. Among these soul insights, there are many soulforce secret techniques that people yearn for."
"However, only those with heaven-defying potential can sense the soulforce secret techniques in the soulforce source."
The old man continued, "And the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique that you sensed is one of the top soulforce secret techniques in the soulforce source."
Except for these top soulforce secret techniques, the rest of the soulforce secret techniques were all low-level.
"Top soulforce secret techniques."
Fang Chen was shocked when he heard this.
He hadn't had time to look at the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique.
But hearing the old man say this, this Five Thunder Tribulation Technique seemed to be very powerful.
"Kid, I can tell you clearly that this Five Thunder Tribulation Technique, not to mention a Mystic King Tier guy like you, even those Heavenly Body Tier martial artists in the outside world would be jealous."
The old man said, "You being able to sense the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique is beyond my expectations. You're really a lucky guy."
The old man's attitude toward Fang Chen was obviously much better.
Moreover, he was willing to answer Fang Chen's doubts.
Suddenly, the old man slowly said, "Of course, although the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique is heaven-defying, it's very difficult to cultivate."
"Why?" Fang Chen hurriedly asked.
"After cultivating the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique, one's soulforce will increase exponentially, and is most suitable for soul cultivation.
However, this Five Thunder Tribulation Technique also has a slight drawback, and that is, at the end of cultivation, it will make one go crazy and lose their rationality, "the old man said.
"This …"
Fang Chen was very puzzled. Such a powerful soulforce secret technique, even Heavenly Body Tier elites would be jealous.
Why was there such a drawback?
At the end of cultivation, it would make one lose their rationality.
Why was this?
"Senior, you seem to know the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique very well," Fang Chen asked softly.
Hearing this, the old man fell silent.
The surrounding atmosphere instantly became gloomy.
The air was filled with a sorrowful aura.
After a long time, the old man sighed, and then said, "Because this Five Thunder Tribulation Technique was created by my master, Dao Monarch Five Thunder."
Hearing this, Fang Chen's heart trembled.
He didn't expect that this Five Thunder Tribulation Technique was actually created by the old man's master.
Fang Chen had never heard of who Dao Monarch Five Thunder was.
However, from the name, he knew that he was at least an elite on the same level as the Blue Thunder Emperor and the others.
"My master, Dao Monarch Five Thunder, was a soul cultivator who specialized in soulforce. Back then, he even created a super powerful soulforce secret technique, the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique.
Then, my master passed down his proud work to a few of his disciples, who are my senior and junior brothers. "
"But …" The old man suddenly stopped speaking.
"But what?"
Fang Chen vaguely felt that there was a story about this old man.
The old man's face was filled with pain.
"But they're all dead."
After saying this, the old man's figure flashed and directly returned to the shore, sitting down on the stone bench with a sorrowful face.
They were all dead.
Fang Chen was even more confused. Why were they all dead?
Did they die because of the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique?
With a thought, Fang Chen came to the old man's side.
He quietly waited for the old man to vent. After a long time, the old man seemed to be in a better mood.
He looked up at Fang Chen and said, "The Five Thunder Tribulation Technique has always been a cultivation technique that my master was proud of. However, it wasn't until my senior brother died that my master realized that the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique had its flaws and was not perfected."
Fang Chen understood.
The disciples of Dao Monarch Five Thunder had indeed died because of the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique.
"Master was very sad when my senior brother died and went into seclusion to study the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique.
However, he did not manage to figure it out even until his death. "
Fang Chen felt upset when he heard that.
Such a Mighty Figure died because of his own creation of a cultivation technique.
Although the old man did not say it explicitly, Fang Chen had already guessed it.
It was extremely terrifying for an expert like Dao Monarch Five Thunder to go into seclusion.
Either he died or he succeeded.
Clearly, Dao Monarch Five Thunder did not succeed.
"By the time my senior brother and I worked together to open the place where my master was in seclusion, he had already died and left a message in front of him," The old man said slowly, "Don't transcend the fifth Thunder Tribulation."
"Hmm?" Fang Chen was puzzled.
However, the old man's subsequent explanation made Fang Chen understand instantly.
The Five Thunder Tribulation Technique was an extremely heaven-defying soul cultivation secret technique.
The more heaven-defying a secret technique was, the more difficult it was to cultivate.
Not only was the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique difficult to cultivate, one had to transcend tribulations during the process.
This secret technique had a total of five Thunder Tribulations, so it was called the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique.
Every time one cultivated a level, they would have to transcend a Thunder Tribulation.
It was not an ordinary Thunder Tribulation, but the most terrifying Soul Thunder Tribulation.
Dao Monarch Five Thunder's last words meant that his disciples must not transcend the fifth Thunder Tribulation.
"The problem lies in the fifth Thunder Tribulation?" Fang Chen asked with a frown.
The old man nodded.
"I think my master must have discovered the problem with the secret technique. Unfortunately, he was already powerless at that time and could only leave behind his last words to tell us."
Such a peerless expert died under his own secret technique. How tragic was that?
No wonder the old man's expression changed when he sensed the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique. It turned out that there was such a sad story behind it.
"Senior, don't be sad," Fang Chen consoled.
The old man waved his hand and continued, "After Master's death, the other brothers were greatly affected. Deeply affected, they tried to fulfill Master's last wish. Each of them cultivated the Five Thunders Tribulation Technique madly."
"In the end, my senior brothers all died in the fifth Thunder Tribulation." At this point, a few tears appeared in the old man's eyes.
"All these years, I've always hated myself for being so cowardly back then."
From the old man's words, Fang Chen could tell something.
After the old man saw Dao Monarch Five Thunder's last words, he must have stopped cultivating the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique and survived.
Fang Chen did not say anything and listened quietly to the old man's confession.
This matter had been bottled up in the old man's heart for a long time.
All this time, he had no one to confide in.
And now, Fang Chen was the best person to confide in.
After so many years, the Five Thunder Tribulation Technique reappeared in the world.
He was very emotional.
Watching his senior brothers die one after another, his heart was filled with incomparable pain.
The master of the Star Ruin could not bear to see such a secret technique be lost and threw it into the soul power source.
Then, the old man took the initiative to guard the soul power source.
He did not expect that he would guard it for so many years.
It was so long that he almost forgot that there was still a deep concern in the soul power source.
