Chapter 551: Fool Asking Himself Why He\'s a Fool
The voice of divine punishment swept across the Thunder Department, bringing even greater astonishment!
Not only was Lord Lu stunned, Yun Xiao was bewildered as well.
"Am I dreaming? Did I just use the power of the Thunder Immortal Formation to obliterate Lord Lu?"
The sensation was like tangling with a beauty in a dream, only to awaken and find her still in your bed.
"It can\'t be... it can\'t be..." Yun Xiao believed his spirit must have been bewitched somehow.
"How could my spirit control such a supreme weapon? This is a formation meant to execute the laws of the heavens," Yun Xiao thought to himself.
Just then, a voice resonated in his mind.
"Hey, stop meddling with the power of this formation, withdraw from its core and come back!"It was Blue Star\'s voice. Somehow, he had managed to transmit these words right to Yun Xiao\'s spirit.
"What in the world?" Yun Xiao muttered.
"Close your eyes, focus your mind, and return your spirit!" Blue Star urged urgently.
"Alright then!"
In the midst of confusion, Yun Xiao followed Blue Star\'s instructions.
His spirit naturally belonged to his body, and with his mind calmed, the return was straightforward.
He steadied his heart, sinking slowly into stillness, and finally felt his spirit plummet!
With a hum, his spirit finally returned to his Dantian.
"The face is gone!"
"The Thunder Immortal Formation is restored!"
Only then did such exclamations ring out around him.
Yun Xiao, having lived through this dream-like experience, felt his senses return to his body, and the world became real again.
"Bluey, what happened?" Yun Xiao asked, still somewhat dazed.
"During the manifestation of your spirit, it was drawn into the heart of the Thunder Immortal Formation, resonating your spirit across the entire formation. Your will momentarily surpassed the core of the formation and struck down Lord Lu!" Blue Star explained with a wry smile.
"Can this truly be?" Yun Xiao might still think himself dreaming if they hadn\'t spoken up.
"Poor Lord Lu, his demise was so tragic. Annihilated by divine punishment, not even a wash could cleanse it," Blue Star joked.
"This..." Yun Xiao lifted his head, gazing at the savage sea of lightning with a tinge of regret. "Can I enter the core of the formation like before? That feeling was exhilarating."
"You can. Your Creator Immortal spirit has left its mark on the core. From now on, you can join the Nine Heavens Thunder Duke in controlling the Thunder Immortal Formation to strike down others," Blue Star explained.
"Doesn\'t that mean I\'ve ascended to the heavens in one step? Within the Thunder Department, I could obliterate anyone I choose," Yun Xiao exclaimed in astonishment.
"That\'s true, but you\'ve just revealed yourself. It won\'t be long before people start coming after you. Your first attack might not lead others to conclude it was your will that caused all this, but if you kill a few more, your involvement will become obvious," Blue Star spoke with solemn gravity.
Yun Xiao gradually calmed down, quickly discerning the pros and cons.
Yes, indeed, he could strike down others at will!
But the problem was, this device was an important artifact of the Celestial Court. A young man like him, bypassing the permissions of the Celestial Court to manipulate it, was essentially disregarding the celestial laws and authority.
How could those in power tolerate such a challenger?
It was far too dangerous!
Even an idiot could tell that this matter must not be exposed, unless it was absolutely necessary at a critical moment.
"Understood, I\'ll keep it as a trump card." Yun Xiao breathed deeply, his mood easing.
He suddenly remembered a detail and quickly added, "Wait, my spirit looks just like I did when I was a mortal. Even if I show myself, no one would recognize me."
"And I thought I was dumb! The face you showed is the one you have now, not your old one." Red Moon laughed heartily.
"Why?" Yun Xiao asked, puzzled.
"Because you just manifested," Blue Star said disdainfully.
"Manifested?"
A sudden shock went through Yun Xiao. He summoned his spirit in front of him. Indeed, even if invisible to others, he himself could see this misty little figure was the young Emperor of Cloud Nation. It was himself before he turned sixteen!
"Manifestation..."
As Yun Xiao\'s thoughts stirred, the little spirit in front of him coalesced from the clouds, slowly taking on a more tangible form. During this process, his body and face transformed.
In the end, the little spirit became the Creator Immortal.
"Damn!" Yun Xiao was still seated within the Thunder Ascension Field and was so startled that he scooted back a few steps.
"Why does my spirit appear as the Creator Immortal!" Yun Xiao looked incredulously at Blue Star and Red Moon.
Blue Star rolled his eyes and said to Red Moon, "Listen to this fool asking why he\'s a fool."
"Haha!" Red Moon burst into hearty laughter.
With a meaningful glance at Yun Xiao, Blue Star said somberly, "You thought you were merely a soul reborn in another body, not the Creator Immortal. Now, take a good look at the face of your manifested spirit. Do you know who you are now?"
"..." This statement struck Yun Xiao\'s heart with immense force.
Who was he, truly? Before today, Yun Xiao had leaned towards believing he was just a lucky soul reborn. But at this moment, he was bewildered. What was the truth? He couldn\'t decide. Yet, the face of his manifested spirit constantly reminded him.
"Never mind, fretting over this is pointless." Yun Xiao retracted his spirit and asked, "What use is this manifestation of my spirit?"
"Why don\'t you reflect on that?"
Yun Xiao pondered, "Controlling the Thunder Immortal Formation was a fluke, not the primary function of this manifestation. Its main function lies at the spiritual level."
"That\'s about what I expected. The spirit is essentially a vessel for spiritual talent," Blue Star explained.
"Alright then!" Yun Xiao finally sorted through these revelations.
To summarize… Firstly, the successful manifestation of his spirit meant he could now enter the Essence Manifestation Realm. Secondly, he could now control a supreme celestial weapon. All of this was good news!
And so, as Yun Xiao cast aside those useless thoughts, his mood greatly lightened.
"However, the face of my manifested spirit is now my own face, so..." Yun Xiao had already heard the commotion outside.
He looked outside and saw Jiang Haiyan and Jiang Heqing, their wide eyes fixed on him, full of confusion.
"Don\'t overthink it; it has nothing to do with him." Zhao Danming crossed his arms and after speaking, he turned to Yun Xiao. "Lu Yao, stop standing there dumbfounded; hurry back and join the group!"
"Sister!" Jiang Heqing gripped Jiang Haiyan\'s arm.
"It should be... unrelated, right? After all, how could it be?" Jiang Haiyan managed a strained smile, seemingly suppressing the shock.
"Alright then." Since everyone said so, Jiang Heqing had no choice but to accept this explanation.
At this point, Yun Xiao had returned to their side.
"Hey, how does flying through the thunder feel?" Jiang Heqing whispered.
"It was quite the adrenaline rush," Yun Xiao replied.
"With a cost of 1,000 True Immortal Jades, how could it not be?" Jiang Heqing pouted and then blinked, "By the way, did you feel anything unusual?"
"Unusual? Hmm. I\'d say it was thrilling, but I didn\'t feel anything strange." Yun Xiao smiled.
"Fine then!" Jiang Heqing lost interest completely, waved her hand dismissively, "Not even a thank you, what a waste of money."
Yun Xiao actually wanted to thank her; without the sisters, he probably wouldn\'t have experienced the thrill of the Soaring Thunder Leap so soon. After all, it was just an amusement.
And so, they seemed to forget the incident as they hurried toward the direction of the Hall of Soaring Thunder.
Suddenly, lightning flashed ahead!
"It\'s the Summer Thunder Duke, General Cao!"
The crowd gasped and bowed, making way.
"Quick, pay respects." Dongfang Yong, knowing whom his father sought to please, quickly reacted.
Everyone hurriedly stepped aside, stealing glances upward! They saw a large group of Immortal officials descending, led by the bald thunder giant at the forefront!
General Cao\'s presence was formidable; his mere appearance froze everyone in the vicinity with fear and awe.
When Jiang Haiyan and Jiang Heqing saw their father following behind General Cao, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"What are father and General Cao doing here?" Jiang Heqing wondered.
Then, to their astonishment, the line of high-ranking Immortals looked excited as they approached them.
"What\'s going on?" Dongfang Yong, Zhao Danming, and Chen Yu grew anxious.
They were about to kneel when General Cao stepped past them and stopped in front of Yun Xiao! Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he smiled broadly and gently asked, "Lu Yao, was it your spirit that commanded the thunder and shook the heavens?"
