In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Chapter 680 Is there a flaw in the method?

"Lightning Array!"

Lu Yuan's heart stirred as he watched Lei Yunzi's actions.

Because what he is currently comprehending is the method of the lightning array, and seeing Lei Yunzi personally demonstrate it now is a good opportunity to verify his own understanding.

Several days later, as Lei Yunzi's lightning array was completed, Lu Yuan, who was observing from the outside, also gained a lot, which was enough to save him most of the time in comprehending the method.

Lei Yunzi naturally noticed Lu Yuan observing from outside, but he pretended not to know and continued to concentrate on setting up the next magic array.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan blinked, then returned to his original spot and began to put his understanding into practice, attempting to cultivate.

More than half a year later, on the sea surface, a golden lightning flashed beside Lu Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged in the void, and a huge lightning array several meters in size appeared with a rumble.

Almost the instant the thunder array appeared, Lu Yuan pounced into it without hesitation.

Then, a fluctuation occurred within the lightning array, and Lu Yuan disappeared amidst a surge of golden lightning.

Several miles away over the sea, a thunderclap rang out in the clear sky, and countless golden arcs of electricity shot out from the void, instantly forming a huge lightning array that swirled and contracted in the air.

With another loud "boom," a blinding flash of lightning erupted from the lightning array, and Lu Yuan's figure appeared in a flash. After looking around, a joyful expression appeared on his face.

"Indeed, the teleportation of this lightning array is indeed miraculous. However, my array skills are somewhat lacking, so I cannot teleport long distances in a short time, nor can I pinpoint locations precisely."

Since refining the demonic bodies of Qingluan and Liefeng Beast into separate external avatars, Lu Yuan's original body has lacked the means to escape in critical moments.

Now that the Lightning Array has been acquired, this deficiency has been made up for. I believe that if I spend some more time studying the art of arrays and carefully revising the Lightning Array, it will surely become a great help to me.

In a good mood, Lu Yuan teleported several more times before finally arriving at the edge of the Thunder Sea to see what Lei Yunzi was doing.

At this moment, within the sea of ​​lightning, five enormous lightning arrays formed a ring around a central point. At the center of this ring was a pattern resembling a yin-yang symbol, divided into two parts.

On one side was Lei Yunzi, and on the other side was a cluster of dark blue electric arcs forming a light and shadow. However, every once in a while, the dark blue light and shadow would solidify into a blue bead, which was the Thunder Control Bead.

After a while, the Thunder God Pearl transformed into a dark blue lightning shadow.

At this moment, streaks of lightning of various colors occasionally floated out from Lei Yunzi's body, merging into the five surrounding lightning arrays.

Immediately afterwards, even thicker bolts of lightning surged toward the central Tai Chi pattern within the magic circle, intertwining with the ethereal blue arcs of electricity on the other side.

"He can even transform a physical object like the Thunder Control Pearl into something tangible. It seems that my idea of ​​refining the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife was correct." Lu Yuan's resolve grew stronger as he watched Lei Yunzi's actions.

Lei Yunzi seemed to have noticed Lu Yuan's spying. He glanced at Lu Yuan with half-open eyes, then turned his head away angrily and ignored him.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan was not annoyed. Instead, he asked with interest, "What are you doing, fellow Daoist?"

“That’s none of your business,” Lei Yunzi replied coldly.

"I simply wanted to ask for your guidance, why are you keeping me at arm's length?" Lu Yuan continued with a smile.

"One should always be wary of others. Your credibility is worthless to me now," Lei Yunzi said in an unfriendly tone.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan naturally understood what Lei Yunzi was implying, and gave a slightly embarrassed snort.

“Our cooperation is not over yet. If that’s the case, then I feel that we can call off the matter of you going to Bitter Spirit Island.”

"After all, I can't let you misunderstand for nothing, so I might as well grant your wish."

Upon hearing this, Lei Yunzi's expression changed slightly, and he opened his eyes to look at Lu Yuan: "What do you mean by this, Your Excellency!"

"Aren't you afraid of being attacked by your inner demons?!"

"Hehe, since you've lost your trust in me, there's no need for me to continue our cooperation. Anyway, I haven't even looked at the other jade slip yet, so I can just return it to you. That way, it won't be considered that I broke my promise," Lu Yuan chuckled.

"How could there be such a person as you in this world!"

"Of course there are! There are plenty! Don't tell me you haven't seen them!"

"You!" Lei Yunzi was so angry that he couldn't speak. He knew that Lu Yuan was using the cooperation as leverage, but Bitter Spirit Island was indeed extremely important to him.

After a long silence, Lei Yunzi gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger, saying, "I am trying to refine the Thunder Control Pearl using another method. If successful, it can erase the effects of being refined by someone else to the greatest extent possible."

"Oh? You actually have such methods!" A glint flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes, somewhat incredulous.

"Hmph, the Thunder Control Pearl was originally born from lightning. I only need to transform it into lightning power, use the sea of ​​lightning to re-temper its origin, and then fuse it with my own Five Thunder Power." Lei Yunzi said with a proud look.

However, after saying this, he seemed to realize something and quickly added: "Of course, this is just my speculation. I estimate that the best outcome would be to refine it into my natal magic weapon. Even if others take it away, it will still be useless to them."

Lu Yuan realized that Lei Yunzi's last sentence was clearly meant for him, and it was obvious who the "others" he was referring to were.

"Look at your petty nature. I've lost interest in the Thunder Control Pearl. And as long as you haven't tampered with the method in the other jade slip, I won't stop you from going to Bitter Spirit Island."

After saying that, Lu Yuan took out the second jade slip and sat cross-legged outside the sea of ​​thunder, preparing to quickly grasp the way of the transformation of lightning into reality by observing Lei Yunzi's spellcasting process.

......

Thunderclap Technique!

After Lu Yuan had browsed through the contents of the other jade slip, he deduced the cultivation technique that Lei Yunzi practiced.

When explaining the fundamental principles of the transformation between the illusory and real aspects of lightning, the jade slip repeatedly uses examples from some of the operational methods of this technique.

This also shows that the contents of the jade slip should be what Lei Yunzi extracted from the Benlei Jue technique, and most likely he did not tamper with it.

Moreover, the techniques used as examples are all basic methods. Although they are more advanced than ordinary techniques, they can still be used for reference and utilization even without practicing the Thunderclap Technique.

The only difference is that the basic method of running the Thunderclap Technique requires the use of lightning power, but this is naturally not a difficult task for Lu Yuan, who possesses Chaotic Golden Lightning.

Seeing Lu Yuan's behavior, Lei Yunzi in the Thunder Sea looked somewhat worried, but upon closer inspection, his worry was mixed with a hint of anticipation and excitement.

Six months later, on this day, the atmosphere suddenly became tense!

"Lei Yunzi, you bastard, you really tampered with the jade slip!" Lei Haiwai, Lu Yuan, completely losing his composure, cursed loudly!

Several avatars arrived at this moment, and all their magical treasures, such as the Zhenyuan Mace and the Zhetian Seal, were brought out, showing that they were ready to kill Lei Yunzi at any time.

"Stop spouting nonsense! The method I gave you was completely extracted from my own cultivation technique, and I haven't changed a single word!" Amidst the sea of ​​lightning, sword shadows filled the sky, and Lei Yunzi huddled among several lightning arrays, his face filled with righteous indignation.

"Then why have I made no progress after cultivating for half a year?!"

"How would I know? I've already given you the method, and you're still here secretly watching my spellcasting movements every day. If you can't learn it, who can you blame?" Lei Yunzi sneered, but a smug look appeared on his lips, as if he had expected this all along.

"So, you're saying it's my own fault?" Lu Yuan's voice turned cold, and his aura suddenly became unified. The Purgatory Tower flew out, and at the same time, he summoned the golden gourd.

The second nascent soul, which was attached to the incarnation of the mountain giant, instantly left his body, raised his hand and summoned the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, his eyes showing no concealment of his killing intent towards Lei Yunzi.

"You, you mustn't do anything rash. I have Lei Hai backing me up. If we really make a move, you might not be able to kill me." Upon hearing this, Lei Yunzi couldn't help but panic.

Although he could use the lightning array to escape far away immediately, the Thunder Control Pearl was not yet fully refined. If he abandoned the process halfway, the Thunder Control Pearl would be destroyed, not to mention that his wish to go to Bitter Spirit Island would also be dashed.

"Is that so? Then let's give it a try!" Lu Yuan glanced at the second Nascent Soul, then said coldly to Lei Yunzi.

"and many more!"

“This method of transforming lightning into reality is an ancient and powerful divine ability of thunder, so it is naturally difficult to cultivate. How about this, you demonstrate it for me, and I’ll see what’s going on. Maybe there really is a problem with your cultivation method.” Lei Yunzi clearly didn’t want things to get too tense, so he quickly suggested this.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes, considered for a moment, and then nodded, saying, "Alright, but you'd better give me a reasonable explanation."

"otherwise......"

"Humph!"

Without waiting for Lei Yunzi's response, Lu Yuan summoned the golden gourd and began to demonstrate using the chaotic golden lightning power within it.

Lei Yunzi then pretended to be observing carefully, but his hands, which were behind his back, were casually fiddling with his fingers.

After Lu Yuan finished his demonstration, Lei Yunzi frowned, looking thoughtful, and kept muttering words like "That's right" and "Strange," seemingly puzzled as well.
