Chapter 198
“Zheng Fa!” Tang Lingwu suddenly slammed the table and exclaimed, “This thing is valuable!”
“I know,” Zheng Fa replied, having thought of that too, but his production was limited…
“It's really valuable!” Seeing his nonchalance, Tang Lingwu insisted, “High-end ingredients, worth more than you can imagine!”
Hearing her say this, Zheng Fa and the old man Bai exchanged glances, both intrigued.
If the little rich girl said it was valuable, it must be something extraordinary.
“How so?”
“Some high-end restaurants require ingredients that are rare elsewhere, the rarer, the better,” Tang Lingwu explained. “But they might not necessarily taste good.”
Zheng Fa glanced at the table full of dishes.
He understood Tang Lingwu’s point—
First, these items were exclusive to the nursing home.
Second, they were genuinely delicious!
A game-changer!
…
“I’ll call my dad and ask!”
Tang Lingwu took out her phone and walked a little further away.
She switched to speaker mode, and the call connected quickly.
“Hey, sweetheart! Missing your dad?” A slightly greasy voice came through.
“Dad! I have a business question I want to ask you!” Tang Lingwu’s face flushed as she interrupted her father.
“Who are you? How do you have my daughter’s number?”
The voice on the other end turned serious immediately.
“...Dad!”
“My daughter has never been interested in business!”
…
Beside them, the old man Bai, who was two generations older than Tang Lingwu, scoffed, “That’s because his daughter hasn’t met a guy with yellow hair.”
“…”
“If she did meet one, she wouldn’t just be interested in business; she’d be interested in having kids too,” the old man Bai said through gritted teeth.
“I’m interested now!”
“See!” the old man Bai immediately chimed in.

Chapter 193: Secret News
The name Yan Wushuang stood at the top of the clear list. This must be what Senior Sister Yuan referred to as the ranking.
Looking around.
Many cultivators were gathered here, seemingly hesitant to move closer, yet unwilling to leave the opportunity behind, so they lingered.
These people stood in small groups, occasionally pointing at the names on the heavenly monument and discussing among themselves.
It seemed they were debating who among those names was the strongest.
Zheng Fa turned to glance at Senior Sister Zhang and the others.
Neither of them practiced Thunder Law, or rather, they lacked the resources to do so.
In Zheng Fa’s view, the Jiushan Sect was already considered a relatively strong force in the Xuanwei realm—but the Five Thunder Body had been lost for nearly ten thousand years.
If they went any further, the two senior sisters might find it beyond their capabilities.
Only he had cultivated the “Five Thunder Body,” and now the “Shenxiao Yulei True Method” was just within his grasp, still having the potential to advance.
The two senior sisters seemed to understand this as well; Senior Sister Zhang’s expression showed some concern.
At this moment, Senior Sister Yuan began to murmur, “This heavenly monument doesn’t seem to reveal anything good. If that’s the case, Junior Brother, maybe you shouldn’t go.”
“Zheng, my friend.” Suddenly, Yan Wushuang’s voice came through: “If I were you, I would go and experience the heavenly monument.”
“Hmm?”
The three were surprised that Yan Wushuang would suddenly appear and directly interject.
Zheng Fa turned to look at Yan Wushuang.
He was accompanied by Chu Tianque and the esteemed Xue Zhenchuan, indicating a close relationship among the three.
“Yan, why do you say that?”
“Zheng, do you know why we keep entering the heavenly monument?” Yan Wushuang countered.
“I don’t know.”
“We, practitioners of Thunder Law, are currently suffering from a lack of spiritual materials, but within the heavenly monument, we can obtain many spiritual materials that haven’t appeared in the Xuanwei realm for a long time, which is quite beneficial for our cultivation.”
“Is that so?” Zheng Fa nodded lightly, feeling a bit hesitant himself about whether to enter the heavenly monument for the trial—he didn’t consider himself a risk-taker.
Even the secret method given by the sect leader didn’t compel him to practice it.
Seeing his expression, Yan Wushuang and the others exchanged glances, all looking puzzled.
They hailed from the five sects of Xuanwei and were quite affluent.
But upon hearing about rare spiritual materials, they couldn’t help but feel excited.
Yet Zheng Fa appeared completely unfazed?
“Rare spiritual materials,” Senior Sister Zhang added, “I can collect them for you later; no need to rush.”
“…”
Chu Tianque was stunned.
He glanced at the Haori Mountain emblem on his attire, then at the Jiushan Sect emblem on Zheng Fa, and could only think:
Did you guys get such senior sisters upon entering the Jiushan Sect?
“Also,” Yan Wushuang continued, “from our Tianhe Sect’s perspective, if someone truly passes the heavenly monument trial, they will take charge of the heavenly monument.”
“Take charge of the heavenly monument?”
Everyone present looked puzzled.
“That’s why our Tianhe Sect has always retained a sword path heavenly monument,” Yan Wushuang explained. “If the heavenly monument has an owner, it will naturally leave Taiyang County.”
Zheng Fa glanced at Senior Sister Zhang, who also looked helpless.
While spiritual materials were important, they were nowhere near as crucial as the heavenly monument—after all, the Jiushan Sect relied on the heavenly monument to block the Great Freedom Demon Sect.
If the heavenly monument left, the Jiushan Sect would have to flee.
“Why didn’t you mention this before?” Chu Tianque asked, looking at Yan Wushuang.
“Well… this is considered a secret of our Tianhe Sect,” Yan Wushuang replied helplessly.
“Then you…”
Yan Wushuang’s expression also showed some confusion as he gazed outside the thunder pool, seemingly looking at a small figure, murmuring, “I don’t even know why I’m saying this.”

Chapter 194: Sealing the Earth
Zheng Fa was already leaning towards checking out the heavenly monument.
It would be incredibly difficult for the Jiushan Sect to flee—people are easy to move, but spiritual veins are hard to find.
If they truly lost the spiritual veins, the Jiushan Sect wouldn’t be far from extinction.
Moreover, if the Great Freedom Demon Sect had no restrictions from the thunder pool, it would be uncertain whether they would even have a chance to escape.
Yan Wushuang suddenly said, “Actually, there’s not much danger in the heavenly monument.”
“Hmm?”
This statement caught Zheng Fa off guard.
“It’s not that there’s no danger; entering the heavenly monument has its risks, but within it, we don’t really have any conflicts,” Yan Wushuang’s words surprised both Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang.
They looked at Yan Wushuang and found that not only he, but even Chu Tianque beside him wore expressions of agreement.
It seemed this wasn’t really a secret; since Yan Wushuang had mentioned the matter of taking charge of the heavenly monument, he was quite willing to explain this:
“The rules within the heavenly monument are strict, and conflicts are rare.” Yan Wushuang said to Zheng Fa, “Of course, this doesn’t mean there are no challenges; on the contrary, the heavenly monument…”
At this point, Zheng Fa noticed the苦笑 (bitter smile) on the faces of the three.
“It can be said that it requires us to exert a lot of effort.”
Zheng Fa felt a bit puzzled at this.
But the three of them seemed unwilling to elaborate further. Before leaving, Yan Wushuang said, “Zheng, if you enter this heavenly monument, we’ll be rivals. Although this conversation doesn’t hold many secrets, it’s also a request from Elder Han—otherwise, I wouldn’t have told you.”
“Ah? Elder Han, the Remnant Sun Sword Immortal? His request?” Zheng Fa blinked, looking bewildered. “Yan, do you know why?”
“…” To his surprise, Yan Wushuang looked even more confused than he was: “Maybe… you should check your family tree?”
“…”
Zheng Fa watched the three of them leave.
Turning back to look at Senior Sister Zhang and the others, their faces were also filled with confusion, seemingly not understanding what Elder Han was thinking.
“Senior Sister.”
After a moment of contemplation, Zheng Fa finally spoke.
“Go ahead.” To his surprise, before he could say anything, Senior Sister Zhang directly said, “I’ll wait for you outside.”
“Okay.”
After giving Senior Sister Zhang a deep look, Zheng Fa slowly headed toward the heavenly monument.
Ahead lay an unavoidable storm of thunder, with every step sending arcs of electricity flickering across him.
The power of this thunder was three times stronger than that in the thunder pool.
In fact, with each step forward, he could feel the energy in the lightning growing stronger.
At first, Zheng Fa could withstand it with his own body technique.
But soon, he had to activate the “Shenxiao Yulei True Method.”
There are many thunder-based techniques, each with its own unique benefits; some are adept at summoning heavenly thunder to attack, while others focus on refining the body with thunder.
However, the “Shenxiao Yulei True Method,” as the true transmission of the Jiushan Sect, centers solely on controlling thunder.
This is a technique that allows one to manipulate thunder—its four realms correspond to the foundational stages: cultivating thunder fields, nurturing thunder seeds, generating thunder blossoms, and harvesting thunder fruits, which align with the early, mid, late stages of foundation establishment to golden core.
As one’s realm increases, the cultivator’s ability to control thunder also grows stronger.
