Immortal cultivation starts with copying.

Chapter 469 From the same source

Only when Chen Yunhao actually entered the gate of the Five Thunder Sect did he understand why others had reached the door, but there were still no disciples patrolling the mountain.

It turned out that there had been friction between the Wu Lei Sect and another nearby family recently, and both sides had suffered losses in the fight.

The Five Thunder Sect was indeed in a state of decline, with very few disciples in the sect, most of whom were assigned to guard the mountain gate.

At this critical moment, the disciples patrolling the mountain did not dare to send them out easily, for fear of being defeated one by one by the enemy.

Recently, the Wu Lei Sect has strictly prohibited disciples from going out without permission.

The little fat boy is called Deng Yiming, and he is the disciple of the head master Liu Zhenren.

The headmaster, Master Liu, has been called Master Liu since he was in the Jindan stage. Hundreds of years have passed, and most people don't know his real name.

This Master Liu is gifted with excellent spiritual roots, just like Chen Yunhao originally had dual spiritual roots.

Although his cultivation speed was good, he was obsessed with poetry and ancient scriptures all his life, and was a bit old-fashioned and didn't know how to adapt.

He was able to take the position of the head of the sect out of helplessness, because there was no one else in the sect with a higher level of cultivation than him.

Since Master Liu took over the position of the head of the sect, he has almost been a hands-off manager, causing the Five Thunder Sect to decline even faster.

As the master's direct disciple, Deng Yiming is quite willful. He secretly went to the nearby market to buy things, not wanting to be targeted.

Chen Yunhao naturally didn't need to ask about what happened afterwards. As for the background of the person who was killed, he didn't care.

Although Wulei Mountain is not big, there is a fourth-level spiritual vein at the foot of the mountain, which can barely support the expenses of a medium-sized sect.

The restriction at the mountain gate is actually a fifth-level formation, which shows that the Five Thunder Sect still has some foundation.

Although the sect has declined, the mountain gate is not so dilapidated. It has everything such as the Sutra Library and the Alchemy Room, all of which are well preserved.

Apart from the fact that the huge mountain gate does feel sparsely populated, the overall experience is still good.

"I heard from my disciple that Fellow Daoist Chen is also proficient in thunder magic?"

After the two of them sat down, Deng Yiming served them two cups of spiritual tea and then stood aside obediently.

"I have indeed learned some thunder techniques. I happened to be passing by here and hoped to have a chance to spar with Master Liu!"

"Alas, I'm afraid Fellow Daoist Chen will be disappointed. My Five Thunder Sect has been in trouble recently, and I dare not keep you here any longer, for fear of bringing trouble upon you..."

Chen Yunhao least wanted to meddle in other people's business, but he couldn't help but ask.

"Master Liu, please tell me if it's convenient for you..."

After Master Liu's detailed narration, the whole cause and effect became clear.

To put it bluntly, it was because the sect declined and became something that anyone could take a bite of.

Three thousand miles away from Wu Lei Gate, there is a medium-sized family, the Zheng family.

Originally, the territories and spheres of influence of the two families were very clear, there were no disputes, and they lived in peace for thousands of years.

But seeing that the Wu Lei Sect was getting worse day by day, the Zheng family naturally became interested.

Everyone understands that the larger the territory you control, the more resources you will obtain, which will have a positive impact on the development of your family.

Rather than letting others pick the peaches in the future, it is better to take action first.

So the Zheng family took the initiative to stir up trouble, and after a while, it became out of control.

It can be said that if this matter is not handled properly, it will be a disaster that will destroy the entire family.

The Zheng family did not intend to wipe out the Wu Lei Sect in one go, but rather to use the method of cutting flesh with a knife, slowly consuming the already limited vitality of the Wu Lei Sect.

The Zheng family has three Void Refining cultivators and four to five thousand family members. Their overall strength is several times stronger than that of the Five Thunder Sect.

The Wu Lei Sect is now penniless. Even if they want to spend some spirit crystals to hire a guest elder, they can't even afford to support him.

As the saying goes, there is no gain without pain, especially for high-level cultivators, who are absolutely unwilling to offend their fellow practitioners without huge benefits.

After understanding the reason, Chen Yunhao just nodded lightly.

Although he has considerable abilities, he may not be able to win against a cultivator in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm.

In short, his attitude is that it is better to mind one's own business. He is just a passer-by and there is no need to force himself to be the leader, nor is he obligated to do so.

Of course, Master Liu also knew his own limitations and did not ask Chen Yunhao for help. He just chatted with Chen Yunhao about some things about thunder magic.

When he learned that Chen Yunhao came from the lower realm and practiced the Qinglei Jue, he said with some surprise.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, speaking of this thunder method, we may all be practicing from the same source. The thunder method of my Five Thunder Sect is also called the Blue Thunder Technique!"

"Master Liu also practices the Blue Thunder Technique! Do you know which sect this Blue Thunder Technique originated from?"

Chen Yunhao suddenly became interested.

"This is a long story. The founder of our Five Thunder Sect is not from Hanhai Province, but from Tianmi Province..."

Before Master Liu finished speaking, Chen Yunhao understood.

"The founder of your sect is from the Bixiao Sect in Tianmizhou?"

"Yes, this Blue Thunder Art comes from the Bixiao Sect, the foremost sect in the Spirit World that specializes in thunder magic. They are incredibly powerful!"

Chen Yunhao nodded silently. Now he understood. It seemed that the sect in the upper realm corresponding to the Thunder Mountain in the lower realm was the Bixiao Sect.

Now that I know which one it is, I don’t have to run around. But Tianmizhou is too far away from Hanhaizhou, so I’ll have to look for it slowly later.

"Think of us, the founder of the Five Thunder Sect. We single-handedly conquered such a vast territory and even made it through the lower realms. It's a pity that we, the younger generation, are so unworthy. We will truly be ashamed of our founder in the future..."

Master Liu shook his head with a sigh. Sometimes he often blamed himself, but he really was not fit to be the head of a sect. He was too rigid.

So many years have passed, but they still don't know how to adapt and stick to their ancestral teachings.

Since there are few cultivators with thunder spiritual roots, we should open the mountain gate wide and accept people with various spiritual roots to strengthen the strength of the mountain gate first.

This idea was actually Chen Yuanhao's. After he knew the current situation of the Wu Lei Sect, he had been thinking about this all the way. Could a living person be killed by holding his urine?

In the spiritual world, there are indeed very few people with pure thunder spiritual roots, that is, heavenly spiritual roots, but those with dual spiritual roots have a lot of room to choose the sect, and they don't necessarily have to learn thunder magic.

You should know that although thunder magic is quite powerful, it is very difficult to practice.

The first is that there are relatively few resources related to thunder magic. Without resources, any cultivator’s cultivation will be slow.

The second is that there are too many restrictions on practicing thunder magic, and there are only a handful of unique places like Wu Lei Mountain in the spiritual world.

Therefore, it is too limited to only rely on recruiting disciples with thunder spiritual roots in one's own territory. It is true that thunder spiritual roots are relatively rare.

The main reason why the Bixiao Sect of Tianmizhou has been able to develop so powerfully is that it has nearly a hundred branch sects in the lower realm.

This provides the Bixiao Sect with a constant supply of fresh blood, and all the cultivators who can ascend are extremely talented, which is crucial!
