Chapter 229 Blood Thunder Technique
Chapter 229 Blood Thunder Technique
When Ye Yunqi finished his retreat, he felt refreshed and his cultivation had improved a bit. He walked out of his retreat and headed towards the backyard of his home.
As soon as I stepped into the backyard, I heard the voices of my wives and concubines talking.
They sat together, talking about a topic that made Ye Yunqi feel nervous.
"Have you heard? The Sanqing Sect has been on high alert recently, and the atmosphere is very tense." Jiang Qingzi said softly.
"Yes, I've heard about it too. It seems like something big has happened. There are many more disciples patrolling than usual, and they all look serious." Su Muyao echoed.
Ye Yunqi walked forward and asked curiously, "Are you talking about the martial law in the Sanqing Sect? Do you know why?"
When the wives and concubines saw Ye Yunqi, they all stood up and saluted. Jiang Qingzi replied, "We don't know for sure, but the rumors have been getting more intense recently, and everyone is speculating whether the Demonic Path has made any big moves."
Ye Yunqi frowned slightly, feeling uneasy.
He was well aware of the cunning and cruelty of the demons. If they had any conspiracy, it would surely bring great disaster to the righteous path.
While he was thinking, the communication talisman suddenly started flashing.
He took out the message token, and it turned out to be a message from Duanmu Ya. Duanmu Ya told him that he had come out of retreat, and hoped that he could come to talk to her.
Ye Yunqi did not dare to delay and immediately set off for Duanmu Ya's courtyard. Along the way, he saw that the Sanqing Sect was indeed as cautious as his wives and concubines had said. Disciples came and went in a hurry, and all key positions were heavily guarded. A tense atmosphere permeated the air.
Soon, he arrived at Duanmu Ya's courtyard. Duanmu Ya was wearing a lavender dress, with a graceful figure, like a fairy descending from the earth.
Her face was as delicate as a painting, and her eyes were as bright as stars. When she saw Ye Yun coming up, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a charming smile.
"Yunqi, you are here." Duanmu Ya's voice was as sweet as a silver bell.
"Miss Duanmu, long time no see." Ye Yunqi asked.
Duanmu Ya nodded slightly, and the two of them walked into the house and sat down as host and guest.
“Yunqi, I heard that you created a Ye family blood thunder technique during your retreat?” Duanmu Ya’s eyes were filled with curiosity and anticipation.
Ye Yunqi suddenly realized that it was about the message he had left.
He nodded and said, "Yes, I came up with some insights while I was in seclusion, and I created the Ye Family Blood Thunder Art. This art uses Qi and blood to nourish the thunder, and although it is not perfect, its power should not be underestimated. This is my first time creating a technique, so I am not clear about it yet, so I would like to ask you to help me take a look."
Duanmu Ya's eyes were filled with surprise and she said excitedly, "Yunqi, you are such a genius! This Ye family blood thunder technique sounds extraordinary. Did you create it for the Jingshan front? The war there is intense right now, and they need a trick like yours."
Ye Yunqi smiled slightly and shook his head: "Miss Duanmu misunderstood. I created the Ye Family Blood Thunder Art just to leave a unique inheritance method for the Ye Family. I have no other intentions. By the way, I have been in seclusion until now, and I still don’t know what happened in Jingshan. Can you tell me?"
Duanmu Ya then realized that Ye Yunqi knew nothing about Jingshan's situation. Her expression became serious and she said slowly: "Yunqi, this matter is of great importance. Do you know Elder Chen Yao? He discovered a shocking conspiracy of the demon cultivators at the border. The demon cultivators obtained an extremely advanced formation from somewhere, and they intended to use this formation to pollute the earth's spiritual veins. If they succeed, the consequences will be disastrous. The spiritual balance of the entire cultivation world will be broken, and the foundation of righteous cultivation will also be seriously shaken."
"What's even more difficult is that ordinary attacks have little effect on this formation. Only thunder magic can overcome it."
Ye Yunqi's face changed drastically after hearing this. He knew very well the importance of the earth's spiritual veins to cultivators. It was the source of cultivation for all living things. If it was polluted, it would surely cause a catastrophe.
"So what's the situation on the front line now?" Ye Yunqi asked anxiously.
"The situation on the front line is not optimistic." Duanmu Ya frowned, "The demon cultivators frequently harass us, and our troops are exhausted from dealing with them. Moreover, the contaminated formation is extremely secretive. Although we have been searching for it, we still haven't found its exact location. Even if we find it, it will be difficult to crack it with our current means. This is one of the reasons why I asked you to come. I think your Ye Family Blood Thunder Art may play an unexpected role in this crisis."
Ye Yunqi fell into deep thought. Although his Ye Family Blood Thunder Art was extremely powerful, it had not been tested in actual combat. Moreover, he was not completely confident in facing such a profound magic cultivation formation.
“Miss Duanmu, my Ye family’s Blood Thunder Art is just a preliminary creation. I’m not sure whether it can really work against the magic cultivator’s formation.” Ye Yunqi said with some concern.
Duanmu Ya looked at Ye Yunqi with a firm look in her eyes: "Yunqi, I know there are risks, but we have no other choice now. We must try, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we can't just watch the evil cultivator succeed."
Ye Yunqi looked at Duanmu Ya's determined eyes, and a sense of pride surged in his heart. He nodded: "Okay, if that's the case, then let's give it a try. However, we can't act rashly, we need to plan carefully."
After some discussion, the two decided to do an experiment first.
They contacted the troops on the front line and asked them to increase the intensity of the exploration of the border mountain again to find the possible formations that polluted the earth's spiritual veins. At the same time, they summoned some Jindan elders to discuss this operation together.
In order to ensure that everything goes well, there is even a Nascent Soul ancestor following secretly.
During the preparation process, they chose Jiang Zhiyun, who had just recently practiced the Ye family's Blood Thunder Art.
Although Jiang Zhiyun's cultivation level is not high, it just happens to be in line with the cultivation level of most soldiers on the front line.
After everything was ready, everyone set out towards Jingshan. Along the way, the atmosphere was tense and solemn.
Ye Yunqi felt somewhat uneasy. Jiang Zhiyun's understanding of the Blood Thunder Art was still a little shallow. Judging from his current realm, it could not be considered a thunder technique. He wondered if it could have any restraining effect on that formation.
Duanmu Yaze looked determined and comforted Ye Yunqi in return.
After all, if it is useful, it would be a pleasant surprise, and if it is useless, it is not Ye Yunqi's fault.
Even if Jiang Zhiyun's cultivation level is useless right now, as he continues to practice, it will naturally be useful when he reaches the level of thunder magic, which is already a huge improvement.
When they arrived deep in Jingshan Mountain, news came from the frontline troops that they had discovered a place that was suspected to be a magic formation.
Everyone immediately rushed in that direction. The closer they got to the target location, the stronger the evil aura in the air became. The surrounding trees turned withered and yellow, as if their vitality had been drained.
Finally, they arrived at the place that seemed to be a formation.
All I saw before me was an empty valley filled with black fog. Runes flickered faintly in the fog, emitting a heart-pounding aura.
"This is it." A Jindan elder said in a low voice.
Ye Yunqi looked at Jiang Zhiyun and said softly, "Zhiyun, are you ready? Later, try to use the Ye family's Blood Thunder Art to attack those formations and see what happens. We will be by your side to protect you."
Jiang Zhiyun took a deep breath and nodded.
She walked forward and stood not far from the formation.
She closed her eyes and began to mobilize the spiritual power in her body, practicing the Ye family's Blood Thunder Art.
I saw a faint layer of blood light gradually appearing around her body, and the blood light seemed to be mixed with traces of thunder and lightning, making crackling sounds.
As the spiritual power continued to gather, Jiang Zhiyun suddenly opened her eyes, shouted, and pushed her hands forward. A blood-red light shot out from her hands and flew towards the magic cultivator's formation.
As the light flew, it emitted an extremely positive and yang energy, which collided with the evil aura around it, making a hissing sound.
When the Blood Thunder Art hit the formation, a strong wave spread out from the impact point.
The black mist rolled violently and the runes flashed more frequently, as if resisting the attack of the Blood Thunder Technique.
However, the power of the Blood Thunder Art was not completely offset. It successfully shook a corner of the formation, causing that part of the fog to dissipate a little.
"It works!" Duanmu Ya exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone showed a look of relief. Ye Yunqi was overjoyed. He didn't expect that the Ye family's Blood Thunder Art could really have an effect on the magic cultivator's formation.
"Keep going!" Ye Yunqi shouted.
Jiang Zhiyun was encouraged and used the Ye family's Blood Thunder Technique again.
Blood Thunder Art continued to shoot towards the formation, and each impact made the formation tremble. Although the formation still resisted stubbornly, it was clearly beginning to show signs of loosening.
At this moment, the demon cultivators seemed to have sensed that someone was attacking their formation. Suddenly, a group of demon cultivators appeared around the valley and rushed towards Ye Yunqi and the others.
"Protect Zhiyun!" Ye Yunqi shouted and took the lead to meet him.
He drew his sword and used the Thunder Sword Technique, engaging in a fierce battle with the evil cultivator.
Sword Qis cut through the air like lightning. Each sword Qi contained powerful thunder force, which repelled the approaching demon cultivators.
Duanmu Ya was not to be outdone. She used thunder magic and long whips of lightning appeared in her hands. As she waved them, the demon cultivators screamed in pain.
The Jindan elders used their unique skills to fight with the demon cultivators, while the Yuanying ancestors secretly observed the situation to ensure the safety of everyone.
Although they did not attack directly, their powerful aura enveloped the entire battlefield, preventing the demon cultivators from acting rashly.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, the evil cultivators were temporarily suppressed.
Jiang Zhiyun seized this opportunity and continued to attack the formation with all his strength.
Her forehead was covered with sweat and her face was a little pale, but her eyes were still firm.
As the last blood thunder technique was shot out, a crack finally appeared in the demon cultivator's formation.
Black mist poured out from the cracks, as if the formation was giving its final roar.
But everyone knew that they had successfully found a way to deal with the magic cultivator's formation.
"Great! The Ye family's Blood Thunder Art is indeed effective." A Jindan elder said excitedly.
Ye Yunqi looked at the cracks in the formation and felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
"Let's withdraw first and then make long-term plans. This discovery is crucial to us and we must make good use of it." Duanmu Ya said.
Everyone nodded, and after ensuring safety, they quickly evacuated Jingshan.
After returning to Sanqing Sect, they immediately held a meeting to discuss the next plan of action.
They knew very well that the evil cultivators would not give up, and they had to formulate a comprehensive strategy as soon as possible to stop the evil cultivators' conspiracy and protect the earth's spiritual veins and the peace of the immortal cultivation world.
After discovering that the Blood Thunder Art had a strong inhibitory effect on the evil formations of demonic cultivators, the entire Sanqing Sect was in an uproar.
Moreover, this Blood Thunder Art has almost no threshold or qualification requirements for cultivation. No matter whether it is a young cultivator who has just started the path of cultivation or a master who has already achieved a certain level of cultivation, everyone can try to practice it. This is undoubtedly a great help for the righteous to fight against the evil cultivators.
Everyone in Sanqing Sect, from ordinary disciples to Nascent Soul ancestors, attached great importance to Ye Yunqi and the Ye Family Blood Thunder Art he created.
The Ye family's Blood Thunder Art was just something Ye Yunqi did on a whim. It did not bring much improvement to himself. He just wanted to give it to his descendants who were not qualified enough.
However, when he saw the situation on the front line which was as tense as a taut bowstring, he knew in his heart that with the nest overturned, how could the eggs remain intact?
If the evil cultivator's plot succeeds, the Ye family and even the entire cultivation world will be doomed. Therefore, he resolutely decided to contribute the Blood Thunder Art to support the front line.
This decision caused a huge response within the Sanqing Sect.
Yuanying Patriarch Xu Donghua was the first to stand up. He was close to Ye Yunqi, and now he wanted to speak for Ye Yunqi: "Ye Yunqi's move is truly righteous! We in the Sanqing Sect cannot treat him unfairly. This is a great achievement! In this critical moment of life and death for the sect, he was able to put aside his family's selfish thoughts and offer such a precious technique. Such a broad mind and such an achievement should be a role model for us."
Duanmu Qingyuan nodded slightly and stroked his beard.
The group of Jindan elders on the side also echoed it. They whispered to each other and praised Ye Yunqi's behavior.
Sect Master Wen Tingyu slowly said, "Ye Yunqi's contribution should be rewarded by the sect. I have decided to give him a set of Sanqing Sect's own combat skills."
Although his voice was calm, the recognition and reward contained in it were clearly audible. "Not only that, this contribution will be counted as a war achievement. When the war is over, we will give him the reward he deserves based on his role in the war."
When Ye Yunqi heard these words, his heart was filled with emotion.
He originally took out the Blood Thunder Art with the intention of contributing to the righteous path and sharing the worries of the sect. Now that he could get the sect's reward, it was naturally the best thing. He accepted the reward calmly.
At this time, Xu Donghua spoke again, his eyes fell on Ye Yunqi, his eyes were full of trust: "I strongly advocate that Ye Yunqi teach the Blood Thunder Art personally. After all, this is his creation, he naturally understands the subtleties of it most thoroughly, and if he teaches, the disciples will be able to master it faster and better."
In fact, Xu Donghua's move has a deeper meaning. He knows that in this complex world of cultivating immortals, kindness is easy to be forgotten, and letting Ye Yunqi personally teach the exercises can allow the sect to deeply appreciate Ye Yunqi's efforts during the cultivation process, so that the entire sect will remember his kindness.
Xu Donghua was afraid that Ye Yunqi didn't understand his deep meaning, so he specially sent a message to Ye Yunqi.
Ye Yunqi's ears moved, and when he heard Xu Donghua's voice transmission, he understood.
The others did not object, as this was what Ye Yunqi deserved.
Therefore, in the following period of time, Ye Yunqi would hardly have any leisure time to retreat.
