Chapter 180: Pregnancy Completed
While the top officials in Fu'an Marquis Mansion in Xuzhou City were arguing endlessly, Zhu Chengwu, who was far away in the Elbru Mountains, was only concerned about the Yang Lei Zhenyan in front of him.

Finally, Zhu Chengwu decided to go into seclusion here and wait for the Yang Lei Zhen Yan to be nurtured.

With Zhu Chengwu's current strength, even if Narcissus, Xue Jingling and Dai Qian leaked the information and made it impossible to succeed, as long as he gave up Yang Lei Zhenyan, Zhu Chengwu would be sure to escape unscathed.

Instead of interrupting the growth process of Yang Lei Zhen Yan, it is better to try to speed up the growth process of Yang Lei Zhen Yan here.

For Zhu Chengwu now, the most important thing is to protect the Yang Lei Zhen Yan to completion and obtain the Yang Lei Zhen Yan.

As for what to do with the Fu'an Marquis Mansion in Xuzhou City during this period of time? How to deal with the situation of the Ming Dynasty competing with the crown prince for the throne?

To be honest, Zhu Chengwu doesn’t care too much about these things.

Zhu Chengwu's power is rooted in Zhu Chengwu's strength, rather than Zhu Chengwu's strength being rooted in Zhu Chengwu's power.

As long as Zhu Chengwu is alive and maintains a high level of power, no matter whether Zhu Chengwu appears or not, Zhu Chengwu's power will be there and will not be weakened in the slightest.

As for Zhu Chengwu's followers, Zhu Chengwu could only pray for their safety in this place where the Yang Lei Zhen Yan was born.

...

Time flies!
Twenty-five years have passed in the blink of an eye!
In these twenty-five years, no one has come to the Elbrus Mountains to cause trouble for Zhu Chengwu.

Unexpectedly.

Zhu Chengwu, who had been in a state of uncertainty for several years, did not know that shortly after leaving the Elbru Mountains, he lost his companion soul. Seeing the gray-haired Dai Qian who was about to die of old age, the love-stricken Xue Jingling chose to spend the rest of his life with Dai Qian in the Elbru Mountains.

It’s not that they don’t want to return to their roots and go back to the Nanzhu Kingdom.

Instead, he was frozen for forty years, and lost the thousand-year ice soul that supported his body. Forty years passed in an instant. In addition, when he saw the Snow Crystal Spirit escape from danger, Dai Qian, who was exhausted, had no strength to return to Nanzhu Kingdom.

After coming down from the peak that gave birth to the Yang Lei Zhen Yan, even if he settled down nearby, Dai Qian only lasted three days before he died.

If Dai Qian had continued to travel further, he would have died even earlier.

After Dai Qian's death, Xue Jingling, who had experienced the loss of her lover first and the scheme against her best friend, chose to return to heaven and earth voluntarily.

This result is similar to that of Dai Qian and Xue Jingling in the TV series in Zhu Chengwu's previous life.

In fact, even if it did not actively return to heaven and earth, the Snow Crystal Spirit, which had lost its companion soul, the Thousand Year Ice Soul, would not be able to hold on for long.

After Dai Qian's death, the Snow Crystal Spirit voluntarily returned to heaven and earth, and the Jadeite Ice Soul Spirit no longer had any reason to reject Narcissus.

After many calculations, he even took the initiative to push the Snow Crystal Spirit, for whom he had a vague affection, towards others, which eventually led to the death of the Snow Crystal Spirit. Only in this way was he able to obtain the Jade Marrow Ice Soul who did not reject him.

After paying such a heavy price, how could Narcissus have the energy and time to care about Zhu Chengwu after getting the Jadeite Ice Soul.

For Narcissus, the most important thing is to find a place where no one has discovered her and break through to the Yangshen level.

The Yang Lei True Flame had not yet been fully nurtured, and the Earth Core Fire Lotus had already been digested by Zhu Chengwu.

Compared with the combination of the Earth Core Fire Lotus and the Yang Thunder True Flame, the Jade Marrow Ice Soul and Silver Dollar Pure Water in Narcissus's hands are obviously more attractive to Grandmaster Yang Shen.

After all, because of the spirits of heaven and earth, although Narcissus had already reached the peak of Yang God and had taken a few steps forward, the silver dollar pure water that served as his companion spirit was not digested by Narcissus.

In other words, as long as the Narcissus is captured, the Grandmaster Yang Shen can directly use the twin high-level treasures of heaven and earth, Silver Dollar Pure Water and Jade Marrow Ice Soul.

But what about the Yang Thunder True Flame and the Earth Core Fire Lotus?
Even if Zhu Chengwu was captured, not only would they have to wait for the Yang Lei Zhen Yan to be nurtured, they would also have to wait for the Earth Core Fire Lotus that had been digested by Zhu Chengwu to be nurtured again somewhere in the world.

Putting aside the question of whether or not it is possible to successfully discover the location of the newly bred Earth Core Fire Lotus, just considering the limit of human lifespan, even Grandmaster Yang Shen cannot wait until the Earth Core Fire Lotus is fully bred.

Although the world does not know that the Yang Lei True Flame has not yet been fully nurtured, the fact that the Earth Core Fire Lotus has been completely digested by Zhu Chengwu, the Marquis of Fu'an in the Ming Dynasty is known to the high-ranking people in this world.

Let me ask, in this situation, is the world's Grandmaster Yang Shen more interested in Zhu Chengwu or in Narcissus?

Narcissus paid almost everything to get the Jadeite Ice Soul, so he couldn't take any risks.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Narcissus gave up the idea of ​​exposing the birthplace of Yang Lei Zhen Yan and causing trouble for Zhu Chengwu.

He directly hid his tracks and went to impact the realm above Yang Shen!
After all, anything you do will leave traces.

Narcissus now doesn't want to attract anyone's attention and increase the risk of exposing herself.

As for the hatred between Zhu Chengwu holding Xue Jingling hostage, which led to the deaths of Xue Jingling and Dai Qianke in a foreign land?
Dai Qian, Narcissus doesn't care.

Snow Crystal Spirit, when Narcissus planned for Snow Crystal Spirit to be the companion of the Thousand-Year Ice Soul, it was destined that once Narcissus's plan succeeded, Snow Crystal Spirit, Narcissus's thousand-year friend, would surely meet his demise.

And even if she wants to take revenge, Narcissus will have plenty of opportunities to do so after she achieves the level of Yang God.

If the breakthrough fails, Narcissus wants to keep Zhu Chengwu and let him confirm whether there is really a existence above Yangshen or above Grandmaster, and whether the way of combining high-level treasures of heaven and earth is correct?
It was Narcissus's mentality and the early deaths of Xue Jingling and Dai Qian that allowed Zhu Chengwu to stay in the place where Yang Lei Zhenyan was born for twenty-five years without being disturbed at all.

Boom~~~
In the sky, lightning snakes were dancing wildly.

In the place where the Yang Lei Zhen Yan was born, the appearance of the top of the mountain has changed drastically.

The smooth stone wall that was like a concave mirror and the green lightning-shaped flame suspended in the center of the concave mirror were actually lifted up more than ten feet by the stone platform below.

In addition, in order to build a higher stone platform, the surrounding mud, sand and stones were all moved away. This resulted in the height difference between the smooth stone wall that was like a concave mirror and the blue lightning-shaped flame hanging in the center of the concave mirror stone wall and the surrounding ground being nearly twenty feet.

There are countless runes with mysterious meanings flashing around the nearly twenty-foot-high stone platform.

In addition to the high stone platform covered with runes, there are four floating flame-shaped lotus flowers that are constantly rotating around the smooth stone wall on the top of the platform that looks like a concave mirror.

This is the phantom of the Earth Core Fire Lotus after being completely digested by Zhu Chengwu.

Use a lightning rod-like stone platform and various lightning runes to attract thunder from the sky and gather the lightning energy from the surroundings.

Use the virtual image of the Earth's Core Fire Lotus to attract the heavenly fire and gather the fire energy of heaven and earth.

With these two approaches, the Yang Lei Zhen Yan will be completed five years ahead of schedule.

Looking at the lightning snake looming in the sky, a hint of expectation that was hard to conceal flashed in Zhu Chengwu's eyes.

The fire rules and fire energy in the Yang Lei Zhenyan had already been completed under the guidance of the virtual image of the Earth's Core Fire Lotus.

Now all that remains are thunder rules and thunder energy.

Two months ago, it was just a step away. Now, after more than two months of filling up, with the help of today's astronomical phenomenon of thunder in a drought, there is a great possibility that the Yang Lei Zhen Yan will be successfully nurtured in one fell swoop.

Zhu Chengwu is full of expectations!
Lightning snakes were dancing wildly in the sky, and Zhu Chengwu, standing on the top of the mountain, did not just watch.

"Yang God of Thunder and Fire, lead the Ten Thousand Thunders Heavenly Prison!" Zhu Chengwu pinched his seal and displayed the secret technique of "Yang God of Thunder and Fire" that he created based on the characteristics of the Yang Thunder True Flame, a high-level treasure of heaven and earth, which he had observed during the past twenty-five years as he watched the gestation process of the Yang Thunder True Flame.

As Zhu Chengwu's secret technique was completed, the countless lightning snakes above Zhu Chengwu's head seemed to have found an outlet instantly and swarmed down.

"Thunder Fire Sun God, a miracle is born!"

Zhu Chengwu changed his seal and controlled the Yang Thunder True Flame, which was just a little bit away from being formed, to fly up and meet the thousands of lightning snakes pouring down.

Although the Yang Lei Zhen Yan has not yet been fully nurtured, Zhu Chengwu, who has been guarding it for twenty-five years, has already left a very deep mark in the Yang Lei Zhen Yan. As soon as the Yang Lei Zhen Yan is fully nurtured, he will be able to make the Yang Lei Zhen Yan recognize his master at the first opportunity.

Even if the Yang Lei Zhen Yan has not yet been fully nurtured, Zhu Chengwu can still control the Yang Lei Zhen Yan properly with the help of the brand.

Boom~~~
Squeak~~~~
The countless lightning snakes pouring down and the Yang Thunder True Flame rising into the sky alone caused a huge commotion the moment they met.

The entire gestational area was illuminated by lightning, and then countless lightning energies began to riot.

Even the mark that Zhu Chengwu had already imprinted deep into the Yang Lei Zhen Yan was affected and began to weaken.

This change lasted for two quarters of an hour, and then the blue lightning-shaped flame in the air suddenly shook.

Invisible waves spread out in all directions.

"It's done!"

Zhu Chengwu, who felt this fluctuation, had an uncontrollable look of joy on his face.

Zhu Chengwu had experienced such fluctuations once more than half a year ago. That was when the fire rules and fire energy in the Yang Lei Zhen Yan were fully nurtured.

It’s just that the fluctuation half a year ago was much smaller than this one.

After all, it was only a stage of gestation at that time, but now the overall gestation of Yang Lei Zhen Yan has been completed.

In fact, if the gestation was normal, this huge fluctuation should not have occurred!

As the source of heaven and earth, if high-level rare treasures of heaven and earth are nurtured according to the normal process, the Yang Lei Zhen Yan should have the characteristics of heaven and earth that moisten things silently, whether it is in the initial stage, in the process of nurturing, or at the end of nurturing.

Only those who are destined can discover it and get it!

Now, this huge fluctuation that should not have occurred is the backlash after Zhu Chengwu forcefully intervened in the breeding process of Yang Lei Zhen Yan and disrupted the deployment of heaven and earth.

The heaven and earth are telling the world that there are high-level treasures of heaven and earth that have been abnormally conceived here, so come and grab them quickly!

Heaven and earth are making things difficult for Zhu Chengwu in this way.

More than half a year ago, when the fire attribute of Yang Lei Zhen Yan was fully nurtured, there were some smaller fluctuations. This was also a hint from heaven and earth to the world, giving time to all those who were determined to compete for Yang Lei Zhen Yan.

The obvious huge fluctuation that has appeared now is the heaven and earth telling the world that the high-level treasures of heaven and earth have been completely conceived, and it is pointing out the birthplace of the high-level treasures of heaven and earth to the world.

Although the world had made things difficult for Zhu Chengwu, he was not panicked at all in the face of such changes.

Because such changes had already been deduced in the "Jade Book".

Including the "rehearsal" more than half a year ago, the "Jade Book" was also deduced in advance.

Zhu Chengwu had anticipated this and was prepared for it.

The deductive power of the "Jade Book" is limited by Zhu Chengwu's strength and knowledge.

Zhu Chengwu, who had experienced the era of information explosion in his previous life and was born into the royal family of the Ming Dynasty in this life, has never lacked experience. What Zhu Chengwu lacks is strength.

In the past, it was Zhu Chengwu's strength, and the strength of Zhu Chengwu's sea of ​​consciousness limited the use of the "Jade Book". Now, as Zhu Chengwu has achieved the status of a master, his strength has become more and more powerful, and the power of deduction of the "Jade Book" has finally been liberated.

It was precisely because of the release of the deductive power of the "Jade Book" that Zhu Chengwu was able to deduce a way to speed up the process of nurturing Yang Lei Zhen Yan.

Although high-level treasures of heaven and earth are extremely rare, with such a long history of development in this world, there will always be lucky people who discover high-level treasures of heaven and earth that have not yet been fully nurtured.

Don’t these lucky people who have discovered the high-level treasures of heaven and earth that have not yet been completed want to speed up the breeding process of the high-level treasures of heaven and earth and obtain the complete high-level treasures of heaven and earth?
It’s not that I don’t want to!

It really is impossible!

They don't have the "Jade Certificate" and cannot deduce a safe and reliable method to accelerate the process of nurturing high-level treasures of heaven and earth.

When there is no way to "start over again", faced with precious high-level treasures of heaven and earth, it is obviously better not to take risks. It is more appropriate to wait for the high-level treasures of heaven and earth to be nurtured by themselves.

Although the heaven and earth put Zhu Chengwu under an extra test due to human intervention, Zhu Chengwu had no regrets about it.

Even if time could go back and Zhu Chengwu was given another chance to choose, he would still choose human intervention to speed up the process of nurturing Yang Lei Zhen Yan.

Racing against time is one aspect!
More importantly, when Zhu Chengwu actually started to speed up the process of nurturing the Yang Lei Zhen Yan, Zhu Chengwu truly understood why high-level rare treasures of heaven and earth are unique. Only when one disappears can another one be nurtured. However, ancient books say that there have never been two identical rare treasures of heaven and earth in the world.

High-level treasures of heaven and earth are unique, and only when one disappears will the next one appear.

This is because high-level treasures of heaven and earth are essentially the source of the world and the manifestation of the world's rules. Only when a high-level treasure of heaven and earth disappears can the world rules it contains be reassembled in another place.

There are no two identical rare treasures in this world because they will be affected by external factors during the gestation process.

The same rules, when gathered in different places and environments, will have different manifestations and aggregation methods.

These more or less differences are the reason why there have never been two identical rare treasures in the world.

Since the formation of rare treasures of heaven and earth will be affected by external factors, when Zhu Chengwu artificially intervenes in the breeding process of Yang Lei Zhen Yan, he can naturally fine-tune the final form of Yang Lei Zhen Yan.

This was a big unexpected gain for Zhu Chengwu who had been guarding the place where Yang Lei Zhen Yan was born for twenty-five years.

Through the power of "Jade Book", Zhu Chengwu constantly changed the ways and methods of catalyzing the Yang Lei Zhen Yan, trying to make the Yang Lei Zhen Yan more suitable for Zhu Chengwu and the Earth Core Fire Lotus that Zhu Chengwu had digested after it was formed.

After the Yang Thunder True Flame took shape, the more it was in harmony with Zhu Chengwu and the Earth Core Fire Lotus, the greater the possibility of Zhu Chengwu becoming a master.

Zhu Chengwu could not help being happy about such an unexpected gain, let alone regretting it.

From this point of view, although Zhu Chengwu had to be imprisoned for twenty-five years after obtaining the Yang Lei Zhen Yan that had not yet been fully nurtured, in the long run, it was more beneficial than harmful to Zhu Chengwu!
"Drink~~~~"

The Yang Lei Zhen Yan was completely conceived. Zhu Chengwu cast a spell and made a seal, directly sucking the Yang Lei Zhen Yan in front of him.

Although the Yang Lei Zhen Yan had been conceived, Zhu Chengwu did not integrate the Yang Lei Zhen Yan into his body immediately. Instead, he let the Yang Lei Zhen Yan float in front of him, staring directly at the dozens of rainbow lights shooting from afar.

These are all enemies attracted by the fluctuations when the Yang Lei Zhen Yan was formed.
