As Ao Jiao strolled around the treasure trove, she explained the origins of the Thunder King's inheritance and recalled the location of the Death Fruit.
It had been too long, so she could not remember.
However, at this moment, Xiao Chen's attention was focused on a purple crystal on a stone platform in the center of the treasure trove.
It was simply too beautiful. The crystal was about half the size of a human head, looking like a resplendent diamond. A nimble electric light swam in the center of the crystal.
That light seemed to have a life of its own, changing into all sorts of shapes. It gave off a gentle purple light, mesmerizing people with one glance.
This was especially so for a lightning-attributed cultivator like Xiao Chen. With one glance, he was completely captivated.
As a result, Xiao Chen did not hear what Ao Jiao said at all, forgetting that his main purpose in coming to the Thunder King's inheritance was actually the Death Fruit.
Xiao Chen asked somewhat anxiously, "Little Ao Jiao, what is that electric light in the purple crystal?"
When Ao Jiao, who was currently searching for the Death Fruit, heard this question, she retorted somewhat angrily, "What are you looking at? Did you not hear what I said earlier?"
Xiao Chen smiled awkwardly and asked, "What did you say earlier?"
Ao Jiao could not help but feel frustrated. The moment this fellow came in, it was like she was helping him search for the Death Fruit. In the end, after speaking for so long, he did not hear her at all.
Seeing that Ao Jiao's expression was off, Xiao Chen quickly reacted and apologized.
There was no helping it. This mysterious purple crystal was simply too attractive. Otherwise, Xiao Chen would not have not heard anything Ao Jiao said.
In reality, Xiao Chen was rather surprised by the harvest from the Dragon's Gate Treasure Trove. After the harvest from the Dragon's Gate Treasure Trove, Xiao Chen did not hold much hope for the Thunder King's inheritance. Furthermore, one was a saber, and the other was a sword. It would be hard for them to provide any real help.
Who knew, the moment Xiao Chen entered the Thunder King's inheritance, he would be attracted by this mysterious purple crystal.
"This is the Innate Thunder Crystal. When one's will of thunder reaches one hundred percent comprehension and breaks through the bottleneck of will, it will transform into a soul crystal. His will has completely solidified, turning into a purple crystal. This is one of the few standards to measure Emperor Wu's strength. "
Xiao Chen suddenly understood. After the saber soul reached one hundred percent comprehension, it would form a Saber Domain. In the future, one's will would completely materialize and become an Innate Thunder Crystal.
The Innate Thunder Crystal and the acquired Thunder Will Code represented two completely different profoundness. There was a huge difference in the control of thunder energy.
Ao Jiao continued, "What you see is the Thunder King's Innate Thunder Crystal. It has reached the fourth rank and has formed a Thunder Soul inside. It can be considered the most formal treasure among the Thunder King's relics."
For an ordinary Emperor Wu to completely materialize his own attribute will was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Furthermore, it required extremely high comprehension ability and fortuitous encounters. Even if one cultivated their will to Consummation, they would not be able to materialize it.
However, not only did Sang Mu leave behind an Innate Thunder Crystal, but it had also reached the fourth rank and nurtured a Thunder Soul. Its value was easy to imagine.
A thought occurred to Xiao Chen. He was a lightning-attributed cultivator himself. Furthermore, his will of thunder had reached Great Perfection long ago. He asked, "Ao Jiao, with my current strength, can I absorb the Innate Thunder Crystal that the Thunder King left behind?"
Ao Jiao smiled and replied, "Naturally, you can. Otherwise, why would I bring you to the Thunder King's relics? However, you cannot completely absorb it. You will have to wait until you reach Emperor Wu before you can completely absorb it and inherit it."
After Ao Jiao spoke, she stretched out her hand, and the beautiful purple crystal left the stone platform and flew into Ao Jiao's hand. "Place this Thunder Crystal into your sea of consciousness and slowly absorb it. Remember, don't be too anxious. Otherwise, a small explosion will injure your Spiritual Soul. If it is serious, you might end up becoming an idiot."
Ao Jiao had a serious expression as she handed the Thunder Crystal to Xiao Chen. Then, she reminded him a few times, "Give it a try first. I will continue to help you search for the Death Fruit. It has been so many years; I don't even remember where I put it."
Xiao Chen's expression turned grave as he received the Innate Thunder Crystal from Ao Jiao's hand. It was hard to imagine that the energy of the will of thunder could completely materialize.
This already defied the logic of Xiao Chen's previous life; it ignored the laws of physics.
The purple Thunder Crystal floated quietly in Xiao Chen's palm. Naturally, the most interesting thing was the nimble purple electric light inside.
According to what Ao Jiao said, this was a thunder soul. Only when the Innate Thunder Crystal reached Rank 4 could one condense a thunder soul.
An Innate Thunder Crystal with a soul and one without a soul differed by another grade.
Xiao Chen finally understood why the Thunder King could challenge the Prime Thunder King when he just advanced to Sovereign Martial Emperor. Furthermore, he only lost to the Thunder King by one move.
Common sense could no longer be used to describe such a person with such astonishing talent.
For now, Xiao Chen did not think too much. He found a prayer mat in the cave of the Thunder King's inheritance and sat down cross-legged. Then, he overlapped his palms, and the Innate Thunder Crystal lay quietly in his palms.
The will of thunder in Xiao Chen's sea of consciousness felt a strange sense of familiarity with the Innate Thunder Crystal. Without needing Xiao Chen to control it, it felt an urge to absorb the Innate Thunder Crystal into his sea of consciousness.
Instead of feasting on it, Xiao Chen had to suppress this urge, letting it absorb this Innate Thunder Crystal step by step.
The magnificent purple Thunder Crystal slowly floated up. When it reached the same height as Xiao Chen's forehead, a strong suction came from his forehead. A strong suction force came from between Xiao Chen's eyebrows, covering the Thunder Crystal and quickly pulling it into his sea of consciousness.
In the boundless sea of consciousness, the form of Xiao Chen's will, the purple Lightning Talisman, slowly spread out according to Xiao Chen's thoughts, turning into dense purple motes of light.
The purple motes of light that looked like a sea of stars surrounded the Innate Thunder Crystal. They were like moths flying into a flame, surging over and sticking to the surface of the crystal.
The thousands of purple motes of light were like newborn babies sticking to the surface of the crystal, absorbing it in large gulps.
The entire process of absorbing the Innate Thunder Crystal was very natural. There was no need for Xiao Chen to guide it. It was like an innate ability.
This saved Xiao Chen a lot of effort. All he needed to do was control the rate of absorption.
As Xiao Chen slowly absorbed the energy in the Innate Thunder Crystal, a purple electric light appeared on the surface of his body. Crackling electric currents appeared in the air of the entire cave.
Xiao Chen could clearly feel that his will of thunder, which had not improved for a long time, was rapidly improving.
In just a few breaths, the power of thunder that Xiao Chen grasped had already strengthened significantly.
If one could not control it, it would be easy for one to become addicted to it. One would not know where one's limits were, causing one to explode.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen was sufficiently calm. When he felt that it was about time, he immediately forced the motes of light on the Innate Thunder Crystal to scatter back.
This was something that required a lot of willpower. The difficulty was like getting a drug addict to stop what he was doing.
"Pu ci!"
A light flashed on Xiao Chen's forehead, and the purple Innate Thunder Crystal was forced out. When he opened his eyes, Xiao Chen heaved a long sigh of relief. When he looked at the Innate Thunder Crystal in his hand, it had shrunk slightly.
If one did not look carefully, it would be hard to notice this subtle difference. One would not be able to sense anything different from before.
"So, I only absorbed this much," Xiao Chen muttered to himself as he put away the Innate Thunder Crystal, "Let's see how much stronger the will of thunder has become."
With a thought, the form of the will of thunder, the purple talisman, flew out from his forehead.
Xiao Chen held it in his hand and fiddled with it. Compared to before, aside from the stronger energy contained in this purple Lightning Talisman, there were also some other differences. There were also some other differences, but he couldn't pinpoint what they were.
After a while, Xiao Chen's eyes lit up. He finally remembered what was different.
The purple Lightning Talisman had become more realistic. As it lay in his hand, it looked like a talisman and not the form of the will of thunder.
Although it could not compare to the materialized Innate Thunder Crystal, such an improvement was still visible.
Xiao Chen could not help feeling some anticipation. If this purple Lightning Talisman completely materialized in the future, would it have some of the charm of the Divine Lightning Talisman in Misleading Fog Lake, achieving an unexpected effect?
Xiao Chen let the talisman return to his sea of consciousness. Then, he stood up and checked himself.
Although his cultivation did not increase, the improvement of the will of thunder increased his combat prowess by at least twenty percent. The most direct manifestation of this was the improvement of the might of his lightning saber soul.
"I found it!"
Just at this moment, Ao Jiao let out a cry of pleasant surprise. Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and quickly walked over.
It was as he expected. What Ao Jiao found was the Death Fruit that he yearned for even in his dreams.
This was a strange fruit that was completely formed from the condensation of the aura of death. With just a glance, one could feel the dense aura of death, making one feel extremely uncomfortable.
Aside from the Ghost Race and Corpse Race cultivators who cultivated the Death Dao, no one would like this aura.
"It really is the Death Fruit!"
However, right now, when Xiao Chen saw this genuine Death Fruit, his face filled with joy.
"Hehe! I did not lie to you, right? I said it was here, and it was here. However, I cannot help you with the Flower of Life after that. You can only rely on yourself. "
Xiao Chen put away the Death Fruit and said, "There is no need to worry about that. As long as it is not extinct, I am confident of finding it in the Human-Demon Sea."
How to find it? Of course, he would use resources to exchange for it. He did not believe that he would not be able to find it if he offered ten or a hundred times the price.
After all, although this Flower of Life was precious, it was not at the level of an unparalleled divine herb.
After putting away the Death Fruit, Xiao Chen felt more relaxed as he explored the Thunder King's inheritance. He also became more casual as he wandered around.
Ao Jiao accompanied Xiao Chen, acting as a free guide. She explained how each treasure came to be and what happened at that time. She was very familiar with them, speaking in great detail.
In terms of scale, the treasures here were definitely not as vast as the Dragon's Gate's Treasure Trove on Heavenly Star Island.
However, the total value was not that much lower. The Thunder King's inheritance was more exquisite and did not have as many Black Astral Coins, divine materials, or other common resources.
They were all peak Secret Treasures, Martial Techniques, Cultivation Techniques, and Medicinal Pills. Xiao Chen was not too interested in these.
Even if Xiao Chen had an Emperor Grade Secret Treasure, he would not be able to use it. It would not be as easy as using a peak-quality King Grade Secret Treasure.
