C1452 Lightning Attribute
Yet, no one felt elated. Their moods were somber, weighed down by a sense of gloom. They harbored doubts about Lin Xuan's generosity, suspecting that this gift was more likely a means of restraint and control than a benevolent offering.
"Don't worry, this is my Pill Essence, and I am the only one who can control it," Lin Xuan assured them. "As long as you follow orders and perform your duties, it will not affect you adversely. Since my Pill Essence is of a much higher tier than your own, it will also serve to purify your Pill Essence. In the future, this will facilitate your cultivation, making it easier to enhance your strength. Consider it a fortuitous opportunity."
Lin Xuan's cool voice cut through the tension, causing all the Emperor Level Martial Cultivators to shudder back to reality. They were well aware of the dire consequences of disobedience, even though Lin Xuan left them unspoken.
"Yes, Hall Master. We are grateful for your generous gift!" Wei Zhengzhen and the Elemental Spirit were the first to recover, bowing deeply in acknowledgment. The others quickly followed suit.
Lin Xuan had emerged out of nowhere, a figure from the heavens with no established footing among the six major powers. His use of such controlling tactics was hardly surprising as he sought to consolidate the continent under his rule. They were all astute enough to understand and accept this, despite the discomfort it caused them. They kept their unease hidden from Lin Xuan's gaze.
Those who could not come to terms with this reality would simply be eliminated, like Sun Yan and his ilk. Lin Xuan gave a slight nod upon noticing the absence of dissent. He had been prepared to eliminate any objectors as a warning to the rest, but such measures proved unnecessary. These were, indeed, the individuals who stood at the pinnacle of the Dongyuan Continent.
They were all astute individuals.
Some Emperor Level Martial Cultivators from the Eastern Righteous Hall hadn't left any contingencies.
At the time, Lin Xuan was preoccupied with other matters and had inadvertently overlooked this.
But there was no rush.
He could simply reconvene them later.
It wasn't a significant hassle.
"Let's go," Lin Xuan said, withdrawing his gaze.
This time, the protective formation of the Purple Tripod Hall remained intact.
He had left his Pill Essence at the core, granting him the highest level of access and the ability to control it at will.
There was no need for repairs like before with the Elemental Spirit Hall and the Eastern Righteous Hall.
Nor was there a need to waste any more time.
"Shi Lesan, you're in charge of leading the team!" Lin Xuan instructed.
"Yes, Hall Master!" the towering figure of Shi Lesan responded with reverence.
Subsequently, the group made their way to the Purple Tripod Hall's teleportation hall.
Likewise, as one of the six major forces, the Purple Cauldron Sect had a large teleportation array providing one-way travel to the major cities nearby.
After a flash of blinding white light, the usual procedure followed, leaving behind half of the Emperor Level Martial Cultivators who were part of the Purple Cauldron Sect.
Lin Xuan, with the group in tow, departed from the Purple Tripod Hall.
Under Shi Lesan's leadership, they used the city's teleportation arrays to make a beeline for Leiyun State, home to the Thunder Yang Pavilion.
Within just a few hours, they reached Leiyun State.
Leiyun State was also among the elite First-class States of the Dongyuan Continent.
It wouldn't have been home to one of the six great forces, the Thunder Yang Pavilion, otherwise.
What set it apart was its rarity across the entire Dongyuan Continent.
Most of Leiyun State was perpetually shrouded in dark clouds, seldom basked in sunlight.
Thunderous roars echoed intermittently through the skies, where flashes of green, blue, and white lightning could be glimpsed.
The Void was dominated by the fierce energy of lightning, shaping the spiritual aura of the region.
Martial Cultivators and demon beasts who had long resided in this state, enduring the lightning's spiritual energy, developed stronger physiques.
Yet, this also meant their tempers were more volatile, prone to erupting into conflict at the slightest provocation.
If one practices martial arts with a Lightning attribute or specializes in Lightning attribute cultivation techniques, coming here is akin to a fish finding the ocean—effortlessly at ease. Cultivation becomes twice as effective with half the effort, and the combat power unleashed is significantly stronger.
Shi Le'an, a peak Emperor Level Martial Cultivator from the Thunder Yang Pavilion, felt an immense sense of comfort upon his return to Leiyun State, as if he were basking in a hot spring. The Spiritual Qi in the surrounding Void became exceedingly docile, and a newfound confidence graced his expression. Within Leiyun State, his strength had skyrocketed. Peers like Wei Zhengzhen and Yang Mao might not even be a match for him.
However, before he could revel in his triumph, Shi Le'an noticed something extraordinary about Lin Xuan. Without any apparent effort, the Lightning attribute Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth gravitated towards Lin Xuan, forming concentric rings of blue and green luminescence around him, as if paying homage to a sovereign. This was a sight Shi Le'an had never witnessed within the Thunder Yang Pavilion, though it was mentioned in ancient texts. Such phenomena were said to occur in individuals with a special Lightning attribute physique or exceptionally high Lightning attribute talent, and usually only in areas where the Lightning attribute Spiritual Qi was rich, like near Thunder Mountain by the Thunder Yang Pavilion.
Yet here they were, freshly arrived in Leiyun State, where the Lightning attribute Spiritual Qi was only marginally stronger than other attributes—not what one would call dense. The emergence of such a phenomenon was telling. It was clear that Lin Xuan either possessed a Lightning spirit body or had a Lightning attribute talent so formidable it was beyond the current reach of the Thunder Yang Pavilion.
Shi Le'an's eyes widened in astonishment, scarcely able to believe that such an extraordinary talent could exist in this era. Meanwhile, the other martial cultivators, though not feeling any overt pressure from Lin Xuan, were overwhelmed as if mountains weighed upon their shoulders, struggling for breath.
The phenomena unfolding before their eyes were unmistakably extraordinary. Despite not having the same depth of knowledge about the Lightning attribute as Shi Leshan, they were still among the top entities of the continent. They had a general understanding of what such occurrences signified. It was highly probable that Lin Xuan specialized in the Lightning attribute. Yet, until now, Lin Xuan had never showcased the might associated with it. Nonetheless, his display of power was horrifyingly vast and boundless. With apparent ease, he obliterated the entire Devil Cloud Sect. He brought the East Saint Sect, the Purple Cauldron Sect, and the Canglan Sect to their knees. And to think, he had yet to employ his primary attribute in martial arts? It was as if he hadn't even begun to fight seriously. Wasn't that just overwhelmingly frightening? Without even tapping into his full capabilities, he had already dominated the Dongyuan Continent. The legendary Half-level Emperor seemed excessively formidable. The Emperor Level Martial Cultivators were profoundly alarmed and struggled to grasp the reality. Although they had witnessed his feats multiple times, they recognized that Lin Xuan was in a league of his own. But only now did they realize that the extent of Lin Xuan's terror was beyond their wildest imaginations.
