Wang Lin's expression was neutral as he felt Shengong Hu's dao soul inside his origin soul. This person's domain was very similar to Ling Tianhou's domineering domain, but there were also some differences. Wang Lin didn't understand Shengong Hu's life, so he couldn't see the whole picture.
Wang Lin calmly said, "How long until the Thunder Celestial Realm opens?"
Shengong Hu respectfully said, "In another 10 years, the Thunder Celestial Realm will open. At that time, you can enter with the thunder furnace."
Wang Lin pondered a bit. He was very interested in the Thunder Celestial Realm. Back in the Rain Celestial Realm, he couldn't absorb celestial jades, but now he had the power to absorb a large amount of celestial jades. If he went to the Thunder Celestial Realm, his cultivation would definitely be complete.
Wang Lin's eyes shined brightly as he looked at Shengong Hu. "The Celestial Realm is damaged. What is the restriction on the cultivation level of those who enter?"
Shengong Hu was startled and hesitated for a moment. It was obvious that he had some speculations because of Wang Lin's words.
Wang Lin's eyes were calm as he calmly said, "The Old Man is not someone from the Luo Tian Star System!"
All the distracting thoughts in Shengong Hu's mind were swept away. He thought of this answer almost at the same time Wang Lin spoke. In his heart, this kind of origin was more in line with Wang Lin's identity.
"Senior, my Luo Tian Star System's Thunder Celestial Realm isn't too damaged. The restriction on cultivation is peak late stage Ascendant. However, with the help of the Thunder Celestial Temple's secret method, some second step cultivators can enter, provided they don't have the strength of an early stage Nirvana Scryer cultivator."
Wang Lin nodded and asked for more details. The Thunder Celestial Realm was similar to the Rain Celestial Realm. After all, countless years ago, the Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning Celestial Realms were all passages to the Ancient Celestial Realm.
After understanding the situation, Wang Lin looked at Shengong Hu, who wanted to say something, but stopped. He calmly said, "Fine, you can stay and cultivate, but don't disturb the Old Man!"
Shengong Hu quickly nodded. His purpose for coming here was to cultivate, but now he was seriously injured and his cultivation had dropped a lot. If he left, it would be very difficult to find a better place to cultivate in just 10 years. Also, just healing his injuries would waste a lot of time. It was very likely that he would only have just recovered when the Thunder Celestial Realm opened in 10 years.
Now that he heard Wang Lin agree to let him stay, Shengong Hu's heart was filled with gratitude. In truth, with his intelligence, he wouldn't be like this. However, his Dao heart had already given up. Subconsciously, Wang Lin's gaze had completely shocked him.
Wang Lin withdrew his gaze and no longer paid attention to Shengong Hu. He turned around and walked towards the depths of the Thunder Pool.
At first, Shengong Hu didn't notice, but shortly after, he let out a sigh. Wang Lin was indeed worthy of being an expert. The thunder in this Thunder Pool was not ordinary. Even with his cultivation, he could only take 50 steps and couldn't take another half a step.
However, now his gaze followed Wang Lin and watched as Wang Lin walked step by step until he was 100 steps away and sat down.
Shengong Hu took a deep breath and the respect in his eyes became even stronger. He was injured, so he carefully took 10 steps before he couldn't take it anymore. He quickly sat down and used the Thunder Origin Spell to absorb the thunder into his body to cultivate.
His Thunder Beast also cautiously took a few steps forward. Its giant head would occasionally look at Wang Lin, who was 100 steps away, and reveal a deep sense of fear. Based on its instincts as a spirit beast, its fear of Wang Lin's gaze was several times stronger than Shengong Hu's. That gaze almost caused it to lose its wits.
It was as if it had returned to its origin. This was something that had never happened before.
Even now, it was still very afraid of Wang Lin.
Just as he was about to lie down, a roar came from the distance. Wang Lin's silver-horned Thunder Beast walked over. When it passed by Shengong Hu's Thunder Beast, it viciously stared at it.
Shengong Hu's Thunder Beast immediately retreated a few steps and didn't dare to get close. Its pride had been shattered by Wang Lin's gaze.
Otherwise, with its current state, it wouldn't have submitted like this.
The Silver-Horned Thunder Beast shook its head and walked over proudly. It happily took 10 steps into the Thunder Pool and lay down to absorb the thunder.
In the distance, the celestial guard puppet was sitting on a piece of rock. Its eyes were shining brightly as it occasionally stared at Shengong Hu.
100 steps was Wang Lin's current limit, and this was because he had reached the third step. His soul sublimated. Looking at the thunder, he seemed to see some strange changes. These changes were similar to when he used the Heavenly Chop.
Wang Lin walked 100 steps before he couldn't take it anymore. He sat down and began to absorb the thunder into his body. He used the Thunder Origin Spell to extract the impure origin energy and refine it.
As time passed, large amounts of lightning gathered from all directions like silver snakes and were absorbed into his body. Under the circulation of the Lightning Yuan technique, strands of energy were slowly extracted and fused into his soul, nourishing it.
An extremely comfortable feeling slowly filled Wang Lin's body.
When Wang Lin reached the Ascendant stage, he had more origin energy than normal Ascendant cultivators due to Zhou Yi's Ascendant Crystal. This meant that his path to the Ascendant stage would be very smooth. However, using the Heavenly Chop, especially during the battle with Thunder Daoist, had consumed too much origin energy, and his cultivation was on the verge of falling.
Origin energy was very difficult to replenish for first step cultivators. If it wasn't for the fact that Wang Lin had a thunder origin soul, he would have regretted it for the rest of his life.
The origin energy fused with Wang Lin's origin soul and nourished his origin soul. This caused the origin energy that had fused with his origin soul to slowly recover.
This process was very slow. Wang Lin's hands formed a seal and Thunder Ripples spread out. 10 times the amount of thunder was immediately attracted and entered Wang Lin's body.
Even he couldn't help but feel a burst of numbness. Wang Lin took a deep breath and immediately began to refine it.
Wang Lin's actions caused a series of explosions that awakened Shengong Hu. He took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Wang Lin in the distance, his pupils shrank.
"Senior is indeed worthy of being called Senior. He dared to attract so much thunder into his body from 100 steps away without changing his expression. If I was in Senior's position and attracted so much thunder, not only would my body have to withstand it, but even my origin soul would have been injured." Shengong Hu's eyes became even more fanatical.
"It looks like I need to work harder!"
Shengong Hu closed his eyes and attracted a bit more thunder into his body. His body trembled and he quickly began to absorb it.
10 times the amount of thunder entered his body. Wang Lin used the Thunder Origin Spell to suppress the thunder, causing the origin energy in his origin soul to recover faster. However, it was still far from a complete recovery.
After all, only a sliver of origin energy was absorbed by the Thunder Origin Spell. After removing the impurities, there was very little left.
Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.
During these two years, Wang Lin hadn't moved at all. However, he had changed from 10 times to 20 times. At this moment, Wang Lin was like a human-shaped piece of metal that had been thrown into a pool of thunder, attracting the surrounding thunder like crazy.
As for Shengong Hu, he had worked even harder during these two years, and his injuries had gradually recovered.
During these two years, Wang Lin had also observed Shengong Hu. This person's cultivation method was also the Thunder Origin Spell, but Wang Lin could only absorb a sliver of the same Thunder Origin Spell. However, when it entered Shengong Hu's body, it was more than 10 times more.
As he observed, he gradually found some clues. This had a lot to do with how much origin energy he had. The more origin energy he had, the more it would be converted.
It was this characteristic that caused the difference between each realm in the second step of cultivation.
During these two years, Wang Lin had deeply engraved everything he had experienced in the third step into his heart. He often comprehended it and gained some benefits. On this day, he stood up and the thunder around him crackled as it flowed into the pool of thunder.
This change attracted Shengong Hu's attention. He opened his eyes and looked at Wang Lin. The passion in his eyes hadn't lessened at all, and there was even a hint of anticipation.
Wang Lin ignored Shengong Hu and looked into the distance. This pool of thunder was too big. Even though it had shrunk by half because of the heaven defying bead, just looking at it was still shocking.
At this moment, Wang Lin was only at the edge of the pool of Thunder. He was too far away from the center of the pool of thunder. The closer the thunder was to the center, the stronger it was, and the more origin energy it contained.
It could even be said that the origin energy contained within 100 Thunder bolts at the edge couldn't compare to the origin energy contained within one bolt at the center.
After pondering for a bit, Wang Lin raised his foot and walked forward.
His heart was calm and even a hint of caution. However, Shengong Hu, who was not far away, was extremely excited. He stared at Wang Lin and secretly rejoiced, "I can finally see some of Senior's Spells. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I must watch carefully, maybe I can comprehend something!"
His excitement was no less than when he broke through to the Illusory Yin Realm from the first step of cultivation. In fact, it was several times more intense.
The reason why he wanted to cultivate here was not only because it was suitable for healing, but also because he wanted to follow Wang Lin and receive pointers from him. He could even watch Wang Lin's Spells from afar.
He had waited for two years, and now, his opportunity had finally come. Without any hesitation, Shengong Hu dispersed the thunder around his body and focused on Wang Lin's every move. He was going to remember everything.
Even the Armored Thunder Beast next to him raised its head and looked at Wang Lin in the distance. Its eyes were filled with awe and expectation.
Only Wang Lin's Silver-horned Thunder Beast rolled its eyes and didn't even look at Wang Lin. It was as if it was sleeping, lying there and breathing out thunder and lightning.
