Lou Xiaoyi didn't feel any difficulty in traversing through the lightning.
It was just white lightning. He could already withstand it without any problems before he achieved the Insight Body. Now that he had the Insight Body, it was very easy for him.
So what if there was more lightning? It was just the energy of the Insight Body!
His current body gave him the confidence of a true top-notch Half Immortal. He was different from the thin-skinned Swordsman from before. Only now did he dare to challenge all the heroes of the Origin World, regardless of who they were, what orthodoxy they were from, and what their roots were.
This was a process. In the past, he would carefully maintain his undefeatable image in battle. Now, he didn't need to, because no one could do it!
Compared to the awkward battle between him and the Immortal Peng several hundred years ago, he had a qualitative improvement in two aspects. The Insight Body and the purple sword intent!
It was also because of this confidence that he didn't care about being Linglong's nanny for a period of time. Not to mention the resentment from the karmic memories, even if a real person came here, it would be a piece of cake!
With this kind of mood, he dived deeper and deeper into the dense lightning pool. He gradually approached the lightning planet at the center!
That wasn't a planet at all, but an abnormally powerful lightning ball. It was just that because of the ingenious concealment, the lightning seemed to have substance, giving off the feeling of a real planet.
The Purple Lightning Purgatory was in this fake planet. This was what old man Wen Zhi told him personally.
The weak but omnipresent lightning surrounded him. It became denser and denser, forming a human-shaped lightning ball around his body. It became more and more bloated until it was impossible to tell that there was a person inside.
But in reality, others couldn't feel the power of the lightning at all. This was because no matter how powerful the lightning was, it would be completely devoured by his Insight Body!
He could freely choose how much energy to leave behind to strengthen his body, or he could directly use his Insight Body to extract the energy. All the white and grey holes in the universe were his outlets!
This was a small part of the application of the Dao of Devouring. It had to be admitted that it was simply unsolvable in battle or in a complicated environment.
Just like this, he approached the lightning planet and cautiously circled it. He measured the strength of the lightning and the upper limit he chose to withstand, to see if there was enough margin of safety.
It wasn't that he didn't trust old man Wen Zhi. This was his habit, a good habit, a habit that could save his life.
This Lei Xing's strength was unfathomable!
If a cultivator were to pass by, most of them would disdain the white lightning outside. There were too many lightning anomalies like this in the Origin World, and many of them contained the profound meaning of the Great Dao. However, the dense lightning pool didn't show anything on the surface, and all of its secrets were hidden in the center of the lightning star.
Even if there were really powerful beings passing by and noticing the abnormality of the Thunder Star, they would not be able to barge in. This was because this place did not accept other races, only the Numinous Treasures were allowed to enter.
The reason why Lou Xiaoyi had the confidence to enter was because Wen Zhi had given him a pot ear.
He could guess that this might be the old man's actual ears, but he could not determine the old man's true form through the kettle ears. Was it a potbellied kettle? Or a thin-necked flask? Or a chamber pot or a big teapot?
Since the old man didn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask too much.
With this kettle ear, Xiao Chen could freely enter and exit the Purple Thunder Purgatory. That was about it.
After circling the Thunder Star a few times, Lou Xiaoyi crashed into the Purple Thunder Purgatory.
Here, the lightning changed color!
It was a shocking sight!
His eyes were filled with purple lightning. Some were as thick as a vat, some were as fine as rain, some were spiraling, some were flashing like waterfalls, some were snake-shaped, some were ball-shaped, some were forked, some were cobweb-like … Everything you could think of.
However, the purple lightning did not strike him!
In this dangerous space filled with violent energy disturbances, it was as if every lightning bolt had its own life. It had its own thoughts, and knew what it should do and who it should strike!
Lou Xiaoyi leisurely wandered around the lightning storm. This took him some time, because there were extremely strong lightning fluctuations everywhere, and his spiritual sense could not reach far. Therefore, even though the space of the Thunder Star was not big, he still needed some time to walk around.
He found a total of three places with abnormal lightning. There were three Innate Numinous Treasures that were receiving the lightning of the Heavenly Dao. In other words, in these few hundred years, three Numinous Treasure Immortal Monarchs had met with misfortune and were banished!
A pagoda, a lamp, and an inkstone.
This pagoda was, of course, the Exquisite Pagoda. Although this was the first time Lou Xiaoyi saw the real body of Lord Linglong, he was very familiar with this aura. According to his contact with Daoist Hai An in the Exquisite World, and the limited conversation between the Heavenly Eye and the Great Monarch, he could tell.
Of course, the most important thing was that, among the three Innate Numinous Treasures, the Exquisite Pagoda was in the worst situation.
At the lamp and the inkstone, there was basically only purple lightning encircling them. It was a long and vast process to strip the Innate Numinous Treasures of millions of years of memory and accumulation of strength. Because of the loss of the Immortal Lattice, all of this became possible. However, because of the sturdiness of the Innate Numinous Treasures, they had an unimaginable persistence in what they had grasped. Even if their Immortal Lattice was taken away, there was no power that could take away everything in an instant. Therefore, they had to use the lightning to strip them away.
This was a normal process after the Innate Numinous Treasures were banished. The danger was not great, and it was just a procedure. Just like how the lamp and the inkstone were surrounded by purple lightning, the things they had obtained in the Immortal Court were being stripped away.
However, the Exquisite Pagoda was different! The lightning encircling the Exquisite Pagoda was especially numerous and strange! It was as if the lightning had a consciousness! It was as if they had an irreconcilable enmity with the Exquisite Pagoda!
Lou Xiaoyi finally understood the process!
The purple lightning stripped away the memories of Lord Linglong. These memories included the countless orders he had given during his Immortal Monarch days. The result of these orders was that countless evil cultivators were killed. When the memories were stripped away by the purple lightning, they did not disappear without a trace. Instead, it was the resentment that formed the Purple Lightning of Resentment under such a special environment. Through this method, they took revenge on Lord Linglong!
As more and more of Lord Linglong's memories were stripped away, the number of such Purple Lightning of Resentment also increased. The pressure also increased, and in the end, it would exceed what Lord Linglong's body could bear. It would cause his originally normal treasured body to return to a chaotic state, causing him to suffer additional irreparable damage!
If it was light, he would forever lose the foundation to become an Immortal! If it was heavy, he would be directly annihilated! This was what Old Man Wen Zhi was worried about.
Lord Linglong had already been in the Purple Lightning Purgatory for close to two hundred years. More than half of the stripping process had been done, and more than half of his memories had been stripped away. At the same time, an extremely large amount of Purple Lightning of Resentment was released.
Those Purple Lightning of Resentment that did not have deep resentment would naturally disappear after the attack. However, there would always be those that would not rest until they were dead, those that would seek revenge for the smallest grievance, and those that had a firm will … These powerful Purple Lightning of Resentment gathered more and more, and had already created a huge pressure on the futile struggling Lord Linglong!
What he persisted on was whether or not he could be crushed by these Purple Lightning of Resentment before the stripping process ended!
