Chapter 78 - Chapter 78 Immortal Herbs and the Throne of the Thunder God

The Soul Skill "Mind Thunder Domain" is nothing special; it's a very standard 100,000-year-old Soul Skill.

  After use, illusory lightning appears within the range of Huo Yuhao's mental power. As long as someone is within Huo Yuhao's mental power range, he can use the illusory lightning to attack the opponent's mental sea. He

  can also weave these illusory lightning into a mental wall, blocking all mental attacks aimed at him.

  Well, how should I put it? This Soul Skill is passable. At

  least it gives Huo Yuhao some mental defense.

  However, for him, as long as the Silver Dragon King doesn't appear, he's confident that he won't lose to anyone in terms of mental power on this Douluo Continent.

  This Soul Skill might be worth researching later as a firewall for the future Magic Network.

  The second Soul Skill, Heart Thunder Tribulation, bestowed by the Thunderous Hell Vine, is quite interesting.

  "Heart Thunder Tribulation: The human body has three poisons, also known as three fires and three defilements."

  "The Heart Thunder Tribulation consists of three thunders."

  "The first is the Thunder of Greed, symbolized by a dove. The more greedy and insatiable the target, the stronger this Thunder of Greed becomes."

  "The Thunder of Greed can ignite the target's desires, causing them to perish in madness."

  "The second is the Thunder of Anger, symbolized by a snake. The more resentful the target, the stronger this tribulation becomes."

  "The Thunder of Anger will trigger a tsunami, engulfing the target's resentment, causing them to perish in despair and helplessness."

  "The third is the Thunder of Ignorance, symbolized by a pig. The more foolish, short-sighted, and confused the target, the stronger this tribulation becomes."

  "The Thunder of Ignorance will cause an earthquake, burying the target's ignorance, causing them to fall into self-doubt."

  "Heart Thunder Tribulation, what a Heart Thunder Tribulation!"

  Huo Yuhao was shocked after sensing the specific information of this soul skill.

  This soul skill also explained that its composition consisted of a soul beast, a martial soul, and the soul master's will.

  This world didn't have the concepts of greed, anger, and ignorance; these concepts came from his previous life. Greed,

  anger, and ignorance originate from Buddhism. All life in the world is trapped by these three poisons, and only by ridding themselves of them can one become a Buddha.

  Those who haven't become Buddhas will inevitably suffer from these three poisons and three fires!

  Thinking of Buddha, Huo Yuhao wanted to subject the Tang Buddha to a mental tribulation,

  to see if he was truly pure and could withstand the test of these three tribulations.

  Actually, this soul skill could also be used on Huo Yuhao himself to temper his mind.

  However, Huo Yuhao wasn't interested; he knew very well he couldn't pass these three tribulations.

  He was greedy, angry, and ignorant.

  Aside from truly selfless saints, perhaps no one can escape the three tribulations of greed, anger, and ignorance.

  These are the inherent traits etched into the souls of all beings, both shackles and blessings.

  He didn't intend to lose these three poisons and three fires; he didn't want to become a Buddha, only a human.

  Huo Yuhao stood up and shook his arms and legs a few times to restore blood circulation, then looked at the Thunderous Hell Vine Soul Bone in the distance.

  He didn't intend to absorb this Soul Bone, because it was meaningless.

  The Thunderous Hell Vine had already told him what the recorded Soul Skills were.

  Soul Bone Skills depend entirely on the Soul Beast itself, therefore, there are solidified Soul Bone Skills.

  Thunder Forest and Thunder Hell were the Soul Skills recorded on this Soul Bone.

  These two Soul Skills were the Thunderous Hell Vine's signature Soul Skills, the pinnacle of Thunder-attribute Soul Skills.

  Undoubtedly, if this Soul Bone appeared in the outside world, it would trigger countless Thunder-attribute Soul Masters to compete for it, even at the cost of their lives.

  After all, this was currently the purest Thunder God bloodline Soul Beast on the Douluo Continent! And it was a hundred thousand years old.

  If a Soul Master with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul were to absorb it, it might evolve their lightning attribute into Ultimate Lightning.

  Ultimate Lightning is the attribute closest to destruction.

  However, Huo Yuhao doesn't lack large-scale destructive skills, so this Soul Bone is neither useful nor worth discarding for him.

  The 50,000-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone of the Golden Lion Mastiff in the distance are for similar reasons for Huo Yuhao.

  It can be said that after the ultimate mental reversal, there is ultimate power.

  Huo Yuhao plans to give the 100,000-year Soul Bone of the Thunderous Hell Vine to his eldest son, Bai E,

  to continue accumulating big prizes in the God of Destruction's SSR prize pool. He will give

  the Golden Lion Mastiff's Soul Ring and Soul Bone to his second son, Madmos, to further enhance his talent.

  In the future, he will find a way to make him face off against Dai Huabin, preferably to thoroughly humiliate that donkey!

  Huo Yuhao has prepared many unexpected surprises for Dai Huabin.

  There are many ways to deal with Dai Huabin in the future; the primary task now is to deal with this bunch of Thunderous Hell Vine that are eagerly watching him.

  It wasn't just passive observation; Huo Yuhao could feel their spiritual energy cautiously approaching him,

  like fledglings tentatively touching their mother.

  Now, his junior brother Wa had become the mother.

  Huo Yuhao responded to their contact, conveying reassurance to them.

  He was willing to protect these Thunder Hell Vines that had lost their Beast King.

  This wasn't just because of the Thunder Hell Vine Soul Ring, but also because of the canyon itself.

  Because these Thunder Hell Vines grew here, the area practically gathered the spiritual energy of the entire Calamity Mountain System.   

  These super plant soul beasts have an extremely terrifying effect on gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

  Nourished by that rich spiritual energy, this place is like a beggar's version of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!

  All the rare medicinal herbs that Huo Yuhao recognized grow here!

  There are also a large number of herbs that Huo Yuhao doesn't recognize at all.

  Although he doesn't recognize them, his spiritual perception reveals that many herbs contain extremely strong energy.

  A very few herbs contain energy that leaves Huo Yuhao speechless, and there are even some unusual phenomena around them.

  "Could they be immortal herbs?"

  Huo Yuhao looked at the uniquely shaped herbs, somewhat unsure.

  He could actually use his spiritual energy to thoroughly scan these herbs and then use his recording ability to interpret their information.

  However, he was afraid that his spiritual energy might damage them, since the immortal herbs in the original story had all sorts of strange growth and consumption requirements.

  It wouldn't be good if he accidentally damaged their medicinal effects.

  When dealing with immortal herbs, no amount of caution is too much.

  Fortunately, the two ten-thousand-year-old Thunderous Hell Vine sensed Huo Yuhao's doubts and proactively transmitted information to him.

  "Your Majesty, are you wondering about those herbs?"

  Hearing their address, Huo Yuhao was slightly surprised, but he didn't reject the title.

  "Yes, do you know the names of these herbs?"

  One of the Thunderous Hell Vine bowed slightly, its voice similar to that of the 100,000-year-old Thunderous Hell Vine—a clear, feminine voice.

  "Your Majesty, I know their names."

  "They have been growing here for ten thousand years, but they haven't developed sentience." "

  The one in the middle of the canyon is called the Star Luo Spirit Pearl. It's a celestial herb that enhances astrological attributes, improves perception of the starry sky, and can purify bloodlines."

  Huo Yuhao looked towards the middle of the canyon. It was a very beautiful plant with black branches and golden fruit at the top, the fruit containing countless points of light.

  So this was the Star Luo Spirit Pearl mentioned in the original work; Huo Yuhao had certainly learned something new.

  "The dark green bamboo-like herb on your left is called the Jade Bamboo."

  "It can enhance the sharpness and resilience of your martial soul."

  "The one on your right is called the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, containing the power of an earth dragon; it's an earth-attribute immortal herb."

  Huo Yuhao nodded. He figured he could give this to Huo Sui'er in the future.

  Who knows, it might even allow her martial soul to directly transform into the Gluttonous Beast.

  "That one growing in the shadows is called the Qiankun Immortal Herb, a space-attribute immortal herb..."

  After the introduction by this ten-thousand-year-old Thunderous Hell Vine, Huo Yuhao learned about all the immortal herbs growing in this valley.

  The quantity was considerable, a full twelve plants, all mature.

  The golden-haired lion-mastiff had been attacking the Thunderous Hell Vine mainly to obtain these immortal herbs.

  "It's a pity I didn't get the Autumn Water Dew."

  Huo Yuhao shook his head regretfully. This immortal herb was the most suitable for him; it could allow his Spirit Eyes to evolve once more.

  "By the way, how did you know the names of these herbs?"

  "Wait a minute, you all have the same name, it's hard for me to distinguish them."

  "From now on, you'll be called Xiao Yan."

  The Thunderous Hell Vine, having received its name, was overjoyed. This meant it had been recognized by the new king, the Child of Nature.

  That also meant this plane accepted it, and perhaps it wouldn't allow it to self-destruct when it reached 50,000 cultivation.

  "Thank you, My King!!"

  "The reason I know the names of these herbs is because I possess inherited memories!"

  "My mother and I are currently the Thunderous Hell Vine with the purest Thunder God bloodline. We possess some fragmented memories of the Thunder God."

  "That Thunder God perished here, and his bloodline created us."

  "The Thunder God perished here?!"

  "Xiao Yan, do you have any information about the Thunder God's divine position in your memories?"

  Xiao Yan shook its leaves a few times, and its clear female voice reached Huo Yuhao's ears.

  "No, but my mother once felt the call of the Thunder God's divine position."

  "It was very faint, but it definitely existed. It was with the help of the divine position that she successfully broke through 50,000 years ago."

  "My mother said the divine position is in the core area, but…"

  "How to put it… my mother said the divine position is very weak, it's wailing."

  "My mother once tried to connect with the divine position, but a nine-colored dragon claw suddenly severed the connection, even seriously injuring her!"

  "A nine-colored dragon claw?"

  Good heavens, that Dragon God has really done all sorts of bad things!

  He's determined not to let soul beasts become gods!

  However, now that he knows the Thunder God's divine position is here, Huo Yuhao immediately activated his mental detection, and his Eye of Destiny also opened to detect every spatial anomaly.

  After a while, Huo Yuhao deactivated his martial soul, finding nothing, even when he borrowed Elder Yi's divine sense.

  It seems the Thunder God's divine position doesn't recognize Huo Yuhao, but it doesn't matter, the Thunderous Hell Vine Canyon is already in his hands, the Thunder God's divine position can't escape him.
