Meanwhile, the viscous, pitch-black lightning on the right side was forcibly dragged and compressed!
The golden lightning power transformed into countless fine electric nets, like the most resilient cage, tightly binding the gloomy energy that was trying to spread and devour everything!
The corrosive and slowing properties of the Yin Lightning did not disappear. Instead, under the binding and transformation of the golden electric net, it became more condensed and restrained, like a venomous dragon lurking in the abyss, waiting for a fatal blow!
This is not a simple learning process, but a domineering plunder and reshaping of the Yin-Yang Five Thunders of Longhu Mountain, using one's own origin as a furnace!
It is his unique "Thunder Path" that forcefully integrates with and devours the ancient traditions, evolving through his own Lin Shen's "Thunder Path"!
The old master watched this breathtaking scene unfold quietly.
Watching the black and white light on Lin Shen's body gradually fade away from its impurities under the influence and restraint of the golden origin, transforming into a peculiar balance that contains yin and yang within, yet is governed by the destructive thunder.
The complex expression in the depths of his eyes deepened.
This child's monstrous comprehension, unwavering will, and domineering yet precise control over power are truly unprecedented in his life!
When Lin Shen opened his eyes again, the chaotic mix of blazing white and dark black in his eyes had faded, returning to a bottomless darkness.
But in that dark depths, there seemed to be an even more restrained and profound vortex of thunder. In the depths of the left pupil, a tiny white lightning pattern flashed by; in the depths of the right pupil, a more hidden black wavy mark floated.
He slowly raised his right hand.
Above his palm was no longer the pure and violent golden lightning of the daytime, but a dark ball of lightning as deep as ink, yet with strands of destructive dark golden light leaping at its core!
The ball of lightning hovered silently, emanating a chilling, sluggish aura that seemed to devour all life, as if even the surrounding light was being absorbed and distorted by it. It was none other than Yin Five Thunder!
However, this Yin Five Thunder is more refined and profound than the one used by the Old Celestial Master. The pulsating golden light at its core adds a terrifying and potentially destructive power to it!
Then he raised his left hand.
A burst of dazzling white lightning leaped out from the palm of his hand!
It remains fierce and violent, but it is no longer as pure and unparalleled as it was at the beginning.
At the core of that blinding white light, a deep golden light was faintly visible, as stable as a pillar, making the Yang Lightning, in its extreme strength, more unshakable and condensed, and with an all-pervading will!
This is Yang Wu Lei! But it has been tainted and strengthened by his own thunderous origin, becoming his own unique "Golden Yang Lei"!
"Thank you for transmitting the Dharma."
The old master gave him a deep look. "Don't you call me anything?"
Lin Shen was overjoyed and said, "Master!"
The old master smiled with satisfaction.
"Now that you have entered the path, your future cultivation depends entirely on yourself. The principle of the rotation of Yin and Yang resides in your own mind."
"The position of Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain carries a weight heavier than a thousand pounds. The path beneath your feet is both a smooth road to heaven and... a bottomless abyss. Take care of yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure in blue completely disappeared into the boundless darkness outside the door, as if he had never been there at all.
.........
Lin took a deep breath.
After combining Yin Yang and Five Thunders, Lin Shen felt that his development of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit had improved by at least 10%!
It is estimated that it can reach 30%.
This method of using Yin Yang Five Thunders allows Lin Shen to have even more ingenious uses for the Thunder Fruit.
One day, Lin Shen will become the embodiment of thunder!
.........
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Zhang Lingyu found the old Celestial Master and asked in a low voice, "Master, have you accepted Lin Shen as your disciple?"
Old Celestial Master: "Hmm."
Zhang Lingyu: "Aren't I the last disciple of the sect?"
The old Celestial Master said, "Then Lin Shen is the disciple who locks the gate..."

Chapter 92 Do You Want to Be a Master?
The night rain on Longhu Mountain came without warning.
“Lingyu,” the old Celestial Master’s voice finally rang out, deep and calm, “the Luotian Grand Ceremony has come to a close.”
“...Yes, Master.” Zhang Lingyu lowered his head, his voice tense.
The old master slowly withdrew his gaze, which fell on Zhang Chulan's lowered eyelashes. "In today's battle, Zhang Chulan has defeated you."
Zhang Lingyu: "......"
The old master seemed to see through his turbulent emotions, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Aren't you curious why, in that crucial battle concerning the inheritance of Longhu Mountain, you felt as if your stomach was being stabbed with a knife at that very moment?"
Zhang Lingyu felt a chill rush from his tailbone to the top of his head, and his limbs and bones instantly became cold and stiff!
“That’s right.” The old master’s voice remained calm. “I was the one who administered that medicine.”
To ensure Zhang Chulan's victory and the smooth inheritance of the Celestial Master's Degree?
However, at this moment.
A faint, almost imperceptible sense of "ease" arises and spreads quietly, like a wisp of air found by a drowning person in the depths of despair.
The feeling was so strange, so out of place, yet so real that it soothed the sharpest pain in his heart!
It turns out it wasn't because I wasn't strong enough!
It's not because my Yang Lei was ultimately inferior to Zhang Chulan's Yang Lei!
It's not because I, Zhang Lingyu, am destined to be inferior to that "rogue"!
Master has drugged me!
It was an external force! It was an accident! It was Master's scheme!
That explains it!
Zhang Lingyu subconsciously let out a long, deep sigh from the depths of her soul.
"Disciple...understands."
These words contained no questioning, no confusion, only a calm acceptance that bordered on resignation.
The old celestial master took in all these subtle changes in him. His gaze, like a calm ancient well, clearly reflected Zhang Lingyu's entire process of becoming relieved.
"Understood?"
The old master's voice remained unreadable, but beneath that calm tone lay a hint of inscrutable inquiry. "Do you understand now that before your crucial battle, I personally poisoned you, leaving you with excruciating abdominal pain, rendering you practically useless?"
"Lingyu, do you... hate your master?"
Zhang Lingyu was startled and looked up.
He hated the person who had pulled him out of the mire and brought him back to Longhu Mountain, who had given him the foundation of Taoist magic and was both his teacher and father.
He spoke almost without hesitation or internal struggle, his voice low yet resolute:
"Disciples don't hate."
Zhang Lingyu answered too quickly and too decisively!
Zhang Lingyu's determination remained unwavering:
“Master’s actions naturally have their own reasons. I am dull-witted and may not be able to understand their profound meaning, but I know that everything Master does is for the sake of the inheritance of the Longhu Mountain lineage, and for my long-term future.”
He lowered his gaze slightly, his voice a few decibels lower, carrying an almost devout obedience, "Master's painstaking efforts, this disciple... can only express my gratitude."
Gratitude?! Gratitude for this "laxative" that almost ruined him and caused him immense physical and mental torment?!
"For the sake of the long road ahead?" For the first time, the old Celestial Master's voice carried a faint, almost imperceptible sigh, like an autumn leaf falling to the ground. "Lingyu, do you know why I made you lose to Zhang Chulan? And why... why in this way?"
Zhang Lingyu's body tensed up almost imperceptibly for a moment.
Losing to Zhang Chulan... this is a conclusion he doesn't want to face.
But why was his master bringing it up so bluntly at this moment? He still respectfully replied, "This disciple does not know the specific reason, but I presume... it is related to the Celestial Master's lineage?"
"The Celestial Master's legacy..." The old Celestial Master slowly savored these words, his deep gaze seemingly piercing through the rain curtain outside the window.
“That is indeed of utmost importance.” Suddenly, the old master changed the subject.
"But Lingyu, let me ask you another question—"
"Disregard the Heavenly Master's ordination, disregard my command as your master, disregard the outcome of this struggle..."
The old Celestial Master's voice suddenly rose, carrying a deafening power. Every word struck Zhang Lingyu's heart like a heavy hammer: "You, Zhang Lingyu, ask yourself! Deep down, have you ever truly longed for the position of Celestial Master? Have you ever truly thought about leading this vast Longhu Mountain and shouldering the immense burden of being the leader of the Zhengyi Alliance?"
boom--! ! ! !
This question was like a thunderbolt from the heavens, striking Zhang Lingyu squarely on the top of his head!
The position of Celestial Master?!
Did he ever yearn for it?
Does he dare to dream of it?
This question had never been so clearly and so brutally presented to him! Like a red-hot branding iron, it seared the very core of him, which was wrapped in layers of "rules" and "tradition"!
He suddenly raised his head, and the color drained from his face in an instant!
Those clear eyes were now filled with unprecedented terror and bewilderment! A yearning? Leadership? A heavy burden?
"I..."
He opened his mouth...
My mind was a chaotic, buzzing mess!
All he knew was that he was his master's disciple and a Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain!
He fought with all his might for the glory of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony in order to gain his master's approval and to prove that he had not let down the teachings of Longhu Mountain!
