Chapter 683: The Highest Heaven

Chaos Lord nodded and sighed, saying, "Yes."

"I didn't expect this junior to have such an opportunity." Sheng Shen's tone was filled with envy that was hard to conceal. A trace of cloud appeared on his originally handsome face, and he slowly said, "In this case, let's go to the Thunder Pond to meet this lucky junior."

Although the Thunder Emperor is one of the three legendary emperors, he is still just a young junior to the first-generation gods like Sheng Shen.

For him, who was born holy, he looked down on the acquired gods like the Thunder Emperor who grew up through cultivation.

Chaos Lord also stood up from his seat at the top. A time and space channel appeared in front of Sheng Shen. He stepped in, and Chaos Lord followed him in.

When they walked out through the time and space channel, they had already arrived at the ninth floor of the Thunder Pond.

This Thunder Pond is said to be the place where thunder and lightning originated. All thunder and lightning in the heavens and the worlds originated from here.

Shen Shen and Chaos Lord appeared above the void, looking down at the Thunder Pond below.

This thunder pool is a space filled with violent primitive lightning. The earth can be vaguely seen below, and there are swamp-like areas of varying sizes between the earth. However, the swamps are not filled with mud, but dark blue liquids. From time to time, the liquids burst out with harsh crackling sounds of lightning.

These are all highly concentrated plasmas, which contain violent lightning power. Even if a heavenly-level strongman who surpasses the Supreme God falls into it, I am afraid that he cannot withstand such violent power.

The Holy and the Lord of Chaos appeared above the land, looking down. The Lord of Chaos sighed and said, "It is indeed not easy for this land to withstand so many plasma energies. No wonder there are legends that this land is a fragment of the original continent."

The Holy slowly scanned the surroundings and said, "This young man can realize the truth here, which is quite capable." As he spoke, he looked into the distance and saw that in the center of the countless plasmas of varying sizes on this land, there was a blue ocean. This blue ocean was formed entirely by plasma. This was the Thunder Pool, which was famous in the entire ninth-layer world and the source of all thunder and lightning in the world in legend.

This Thunder Pool was also called the Thunder Sea.

While the Holy was whispering, he had quietly come to the top of the Thunder Pool, but saw that in the center of the Thunder Pool below, there were thunder and lightning thousands of feet high constantly flashing. In each thunder and lightning, there was a faint illusion of a real dragon, and it seemed that a thunder dragon was being bred.

This bred thunder dragon was not an illusion, but had the breath of life flowing, which was the real creation of life.

Seeing this, Sheng Shen was slightly surprised. This Thunder Emperor was cultivating in the Thunder Pool, and every lightning he released could actually breed a real Thunder Dragon? Doesn't this mean that he already has a power close to the Heavenly Dao?

Seeing that the situation was not good, Sheng Shen stretched out his right hand, and a sacred power descended, falling towards the center of the Thunder Pool below.

Just like the Great Heavenly Demon and the Great Dragon Lord wanted to stop the Prison Ancestor from becoming a Taoist, now that they found that the Thunder Emperor had a faint sign of becoming a Taoist, Sheng Shen and the Chaos Lord also wanted to stop it.

However, the Thunder Pool was surrounded by various restrictions, which covered the various anomalies of this space and time, so the various existences in the outside world failed to pay attention to the abnormal situation of the Thunder Pool.

After all, it was too difficult to become a Taoist. Even the old antiques like the Great Heavenly Demon or the Great Dragon Lord who had lived from ancient times to the present could not become a Taoist. Sheng Shen, as the son of the second Mother Goddess, could not become a Taoist either.

So even if everyone knew that the Thunder Emperor had reincarnated and returned to the ninth-level Thunder Pool, no one would pay too much attention, because everyone knew that the Thunder Emperor could not be recognized by the rules and could not achieve enlightenment.

His limit was the achievements of his previous life. He could only get infinitely close to the Heavenly Dao, but he could never achieve the true Dao.

Only the Holy and the Chaos Lord knew the situation here because of the reminder of the ancestor of the Chaos Clan.

As soon as the Holy made a move, the Thunder Pool below also responded immediately, and layers of lightning appeared, which intertwined to form a net to block his attack.

The Holy was not surprised. The Thunder Emperor wanted to achieve enlightenment in this Thunder Pool. Not only did he set up various restrictions to shield all the abnormalities that would appear here to avoid being noticed by the outside world, but he also set up a defensive formation around to prevent anyone from interfering.

When the Chaos Lord saw that the Holy attack was blocked, he immediately made a move, and a chaotic power was added to the sacred light column released by the Holy.

This sacred light column, which combined the power of the Holy and the Chaos Lord, immediately broke through the lightning net below with a bang and turned into a light column that reached the sky.

Although the restrictions and defenses set up by the Thunder Emperor were powerful, they could not resist the power of the Holy and the Lord of Chaos at the same time.

This pillar of light hit the Thunder Pool below, and immediately created a huge hole in the Thunder Pool, which was so deep that the bottom could be seen.

At the bottom of this huge hole, there was a human figure sitting cross-legged there, his body constantly flickering, and the whole human body seemed to have turned into lightning. This human figure was the Thunder Emperor who had returned to the ninth floor.

The Thunder Emperor of this life returned, and there was hope that he would take the last step. Unfortunately, the Holy and the Lord of Chaos came, and the pillar of light they jointly shot immediately penetrated the sky and opened the Thunder Pool, alarming the Thunder Emperor hidden in the depths of the Thunder Pool.

The meditating Thunder Emperor opened his eyes, and his eyes shot out two terrifying divine lights, which were filled with endless anger.

Just now, in the depths of the Thunder Pool, he gradually gained insights in deep meditation. Even the lightning that was released would be nurtured into real dragons. This was a sign that he would achieve enlightenment.

When those thunder dragons were nurtured, he would also truly achieve enlightenment.

Unfortunately, because of the interference of the Holy and Chaos Lord, the fierce blow immediately caused the nurturing thunder dragons to disintegrate, and the faint charm that originally had also dissipated immediately.

This kind of opportunity is hard to come by. This time he was disturbed, and I don’t know when I will get this insight again.

The anger in the heart of the Thunder Emperor at this moment can be imagined. He raised his head and soared into the sky in an instant. Thousands of lightnings burst out of his body, which immediately resonated with the Thunder Pool below. The terrifying power of lightning filled this space and time.

The Holy and Chaos Lord were protected by invisible forces outside their bodies. They were not afraid of the anger of the Thunder Emperor, but laughed together.

"Thunder Emperor, we are here to visit you. Didn't we disturb you?" Sheng Shen saw the anger of the Thunder Emperor and understood that his epiphany was broken by himself and the Lord of Chaos. He immediately felt very comfortable, but pretended to be unintentional.

The Thunder Emperor was originally full of anger, but he soared into the sky. After seeing the two beings in front of him, he quickly calmed down.

Whether it is the Holy Spirit or the Lord of Chaos, they are infinitely close to the way of heaven. With his own strength, he cannot defeat them. Now it is not good for him to tear his face.

He can only suppress this anger and say lightly: "Why are you two here?"

Sheng Shen smiled slightly and said: "The last son of the Mother Goddess will soon enter the ninth floor. Now all forces are preparing. We want to invite the Thunder Emperor to join us to protect the son of the Mother Goddess to successfully inherit the authority of the Mother Goddess and ascend the throne smoothly."

"The last son of the Mother Goddess?" The Thunder Emperor's heart moved slightly, and a large number of pictures immediately appeared in his mind, and finally fixed on the appearance of Wang Xuan.

When he came to a being like the Thunder Emperor, he almost understood the cause and effect of all this related to himself with just a thought. He and Wang Xuan had this cause and effect, which was also the key to whether he could take the last step.

"This is natural. The time has come. When it is time for me to take action, I will naturally take action. Please, both of you." The Thunder Emperor stretched out his hand and made a gesture to see him off.

The purpose of the Holy and Chaos Lord had been achieved, and they did not want to stay for long. They just smiled meaningfully at the Thunder Emperor, and then both said goodbye and left.

Watching the Holy and Chaos Lord disappear, the Thunder Emperor's eyes shot out two rays of divine light.

"I have laid down many restrictions, how can they still sense it? Or... are they also instructed by someone?" The Thunder Emperor showed a thoughtful look on his face.

"The one who has this ability should be that person... Fortunately, I have been prepared..." When the Thunder Emperor said this, his body suddenly exploded into thousands of lightning, each of which was wandering in the void, and the phantom of the Thunder Dragon appeared faintly in it.

The next moment, the endless phantom of the thunder dragon was shattered, and the thunder pool below was shattered in the next step. Under this shattered thunder pool, there was another identical thunder pool hidden. In the center of this thunder pool, there was a blue lotus formed by plasma. In the heart of this lotus, a young man sat cross-legged with long golden hair flying.

This young man with long golden hair was the modern Thunder Emperor who had grown up.

At this moment, between his mouth and nose, tiny lightning was spewing out. These tiny lightnings were vivid and all of them were small dragons. They were inhaled from his nostrils and spit out from his mouth, constantly changing into small dragons and lightnings, which was very magical.

The Holy and the Lord of Chaos left the thunder pool, and the Lord of Chaos returned to his own land of chaos. The Holy also had its own time domain. Although it was not as good as the dojo of the land of chaos, it was also a very magnificent giant city, shrouded in sacred light, and was called the Holy Giant City.

In the ninth world, only those built by the Heavenly Dao were qualified to be called dojos, and the rest were called time domains.

Sheng Shen is not qualified to transform Sheng Jucheng into a dojo. He has just returned to his own throne in Jucheng. The two maids who have been standing on both sides of the throne are about to come forward to serve him. Sheng Shen suddenly whispered: "Something is wrong. This trip seems to be too smooth."

Speaking of this, he stood up suddenly, took a step, and disappeared here again.

The two maids blinked, showing a confused look, as if they did not expect that the master would suddenly leave after just returning.

Shen Shen returned to the Thunder Pond again, but this time he did not show up directly, but hid in the dark.

Thinking carefully, it was too smooth just now. Just one attack broke the Thunder Emperor's hope of becoming a Taoist? No matter how you think about it, there is a problem.

Observing the Thunder Pond again, the Thunder Pond now seems particularly quiet, and the Thunder Emperor has disappeared.

Shen Shen used his divine sense to observe for a long time, but could not find any problems. The only problem is that the Thunder Emperor seems to have left here.

Sheng Shen slowly walked out of the void, staring at the thunder pool below, muttering: "Thunder Emperor... This junior, I always feel that this matter is a little bit unusual, but I can't see where the problem is."

After searching for a while, he couldn't find any problems, nor did he see the Thunder Emperor.

"Where will this guy go after leaving here?" Sheng Shen pondered, and suddenly, as if he had a sense, he turned his head and looked into the distance, but saw a space-time channel appear in the distance, and a figure walked out of the space-time channel.

This is a man wrapped in a white robe, shrouded in a faint divine light, holding a cane in his hand. Although his face looks very young and handsome, his white hair and the vicissitudes in his eyes show that he is no longer young.

Sheng Shen suddenly saw the man in the white robe and was slightly startled, and the other party also saw him. The two looked at each other from a distance, and the man in the white robe came straight towards Sheng Shen with the cane.

"Sheng Shen." The man in the white robe obviously knew Sheng Shen and called out his name.

Sheng Shen nodded slightly, then bowed and said, "Taihao, why are you here?"

The man in the white robe whom he called Taihao showed a solemn look on his face and said, "I came here to invite the Thunder Emperor. Why are you here?"

Sheng Shen said, "I also came here to find him, but unfortunately we were a step late and don't know where he went."

Taihao frowned slightly, and a series of divine lights were released towards his head. These divine lights swept across the entire thunder pool and then converged back. Obviously, just now, Taihao had observed the entire thunder pool.

"I didn't expect him not to be here, Sheng Shen, since you are here, I don't have to go to your time domain."

"Oh? You have something to do with me?" Sheng Shen looked at the man in the white robe in front of him with some curiosity.

Taihao nodded and said, "Yes, the Supreme Heaven is about to open. You are all witnesses, so I want to invite you to go to the Supreme Heaven together."

The Holy Body shook slightly and said, "The Supreme Heaven is about to open? So you are here to invite the Thunder Emperor to enter the Supreme Heaven?"

"Yes." Taihao said, "The Supreme Heaven is about to open, which means that moment is about to come. We in the Supreme Heaven naturally need to be prepared. Okay, I'm leaving, and I need to notify other time domains one by one."

Taihao bowed to the Holy while speaking, holding the cane in his hand, and left here along the space-time channel.

The Holy stood still and murmured, "The Supreme Heaven is about to open, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. So, Wang Xuan, the last son of the Mother Goddess, is about to break through?"

At this moment, Wang Xuan was sitting cross-legged in the abyss at the bottom of the earth, resonating with the four beasts around him, and the five in one formed a complete individual.

The five great ways overlapped and intersected with each other, shaking constantly. Among them, the most complete ones were the Void Dao Realm and the Guardian Dao Realm.

Originally, Wang Xuan's cultivation of the Void Dao Realm had already broken through the half-step Heavenly Dao. Now, with the continuous battles, especially the previous battle with the Heavenly Dao Yuzu, the Void Dao Realm has undergone new transformations and breakthroughs, and is getting closer and closer to completion.
