Chapter 2160: Mastered!
In the Thunder Sea.
Suddenly, Runes appeared around Zhou Yu.
Each Rune seemed simple, yet upon closer inspection, they were entirely different.
These Runes continuously rotated around Zhou Yu, like a snowstorm.
What followed was a breathtaking scene.
After rapidly rotating, the Runes started to merge into Zhou Yu’s body.
At that moment, inside Zhou Yu, an earth-shattering change occurred.
Once inside Zhou Yu, the myriad Runes were completely absorbed by the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder.
After absorbing these Runes, it was as if a fundamental shackle of the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder had been quietly unlocked.
In an instant, Thunder Light flickered around Zhou Yu, completely engulfing his figure.
Meanwhile, from the densely packed Thunderclouds in the sky, Heavenly Thunder descended one after another.
However, at this moment, the Heavenly Thunder was no longer Tribulation Thunder.
It seemed more like a shower of Thunder bestowed upon Zhou Yu by the Heavenly Dao.
In the distance, Mrs. Mu watched this scene, her eyes also glimmering with astonishment.
Once she recovered, Mrs. Mu’s expression returned to calm.
Beneath those deep eyes, no one knew what she was thinking.
This phenomenon lasted for three days and nights.
Finally, all anomalies began to dissipate.
In the sky, Zhou Yu, shrouded in Thunder Light, was revealed.
Zhou Yu slowly opened his eyes.
Immediately, excitement appeared on his face.
"Success!"
He had already cultivated the first layer of the Refining Method of Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder.
This Refining Method of Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder had a total of three layers.
Never did he expect that merely cultivating the first layer would cause such a great commotion.
However, this was quite expected.
For Zhou Yu could clearly feel that the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder was completely different from before.
Just then, Mrs. Mu’s voice came.
"Not bad."
"Your talent is much stronger than I imagined."
"I didn’t expect you’d already mastered the first layer in such a short time."
"Very good."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu immediately looked at Mrs. Mu.
He cupped his hands and said:
"I have to thank Mrs. Mu for the guidance."
Mrs. Mu nodded.
"Take a rest."
"Someone wants to see you!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu was taken aback.
"Who?"
Mrs. Mu said indifferently:
"No rush. Let him wait for a bit!"
Zhou Yu looked puzzled, but he complied with Mrs. Mu’s words, sitting cross-legged to meditate and recover.
Half a day later, Zhou Yu’s spirit was restored to its Peak.
At this time, Mrs. Mu glanced at Zhou Yu.
"Come with me."
Zhou Yu followed Mrs. Mu and left the secret chamber of the Heavenly Spirit Wood.
Returning to the main hall, Zhou Yu immediately saw a person.
This person was none other than the Ghost Master.
Seeing Mrs. Mu and Zhou Yu appear, the Ghost Master smiled and said:
"Mrs. Mu, you really made this old man wait."
Mrs. Mu said indifferently:
"I was guiding Zhou Yu in the Refining Method of Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder, hence the delay."
"Sorry for keeping you waiting, Brother Ghost."
The Ghost Master waved his hand and said:
"No problem, I came here to ask for a favor."
Mrs. Mu asked indifferently:
"What is it, Brother Ghost?"
The Ghost Master said:
"I want to borrow this young man to help me with something."
"This was agreed between us before."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Mu frowned.
"Agreed upon?"
She turned to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu was about to refuse, but at that moment, he sensed the cold gaze of the Ghost Master.
Zhou Yu’s eye twitched slightly, and he had no choice but to say:
"Yes, madam."
Upon hearing Zhou Yu’s admission, the Ghost Master immediately smiled.
"Mrs. Mu, this is also for our big plan, so I hope you can cooperate."
Mrs. Mu squinted her eyes for a moment, then said:
"No more than ten days."
"That’s enough!"
The Ghost Master laughed heartily.
"Let’s go now."
With that, the Ghost Master took Zhou Yu and left.
...
Two hours later, the Ghost Master took Zhou Yu through a silver vortex.
After leaving Mrs. Mu’s residence, the Ghost Master cast a spell to create this silver vortex.
After passing through three silver vortices, they arrived here.
"Alright."
"Here we are."
The Ghost Master laughed.
Zhou Yu surveyed the surroundings and found that this was a rare forest area in the Black Soul Abyss.
Moreover, the trees here still showed some signs of life.
It wasn’t the dead forest Zhou Yu had seen before.
"Senior Ghost, can you now tell me what you need my help with?"
Along the way, Zhou Yu had asked several times, but the Ghost Master always avoided answering.
Now, the Ghost Master chuckled.
"Alright, it’s time to tell you."
"Actually, the reason I brought you here is to help me create some Ghost Mastiffs."
"As long as you help me succeed, the matter of you killing my two Ghost Mastiffs can be written off."
"Create Ghost Mastiffs?"
Zhou Yu was stunned.
"Senior, this is difficult for me."
"I don’t know the method of creation."
The Ghost Master chuckled.
"You don’t need to know the method of creation, you just need to inject the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder into the Ghost Mastiffs at the crucial moment according to my requirements."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu’s heart was stirred.
He suddenly understood.
The Ghost Master was preparing a contingency plan.
Now, Zhou Yu knew that the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder was extremely important to them.
However, since he controlled the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder, they hadn’t done anything to him yet.
But once Zhou Yu actually injected the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder into the Ghost Mastiffs, wouldn’t that mean the Ghost Master also controlled the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder?
In doing so, his significance would inevitably decrease.
When that time comes, who knows what might happen.
Although Zhou Yu realized this, facing the Ghost Master’s chilling smile, he didn’t dare to refuse.
Zhou Yu could only ambiguously say:
"Senior, my skill in Thunder Control Technique is still not proficient, I’m worried I might ruin your important task."
"No worries, just do as I require."
"Success or failure is not your concern."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu immediately nodded and said:
"Then there’s no problem."
"I will do my best."
"Good, follow me."
Saying this, the Ghost Master led Zhou Yu and flew into the forest.
Soon, they arrived in front of a massive cliff within the forest.
The Ghost Master stood before the cliff and began to cast a spell.
A moment later, the cliff surprisingly began to tremble violently.
Then, a gigantic cave appeared before Zhou Yu.
And at the instant the cave appeared, an enormous Jiao Long phantom suddenly emerged...
