Mo Wuji suddenly said, "Didn't you say before that you also have a lightning spiritual root? Why don't you cultivate lightning-based techniques?"

Ku Cai shook her head, somewhat despondent. "It's not that I don't want to cultivate it, it's just that my father only left me this one cultivation crystal orb. My father said that lightning-based cultivation techniques are too precious, and the higher the level, the more precious they are. Even some large sects rarely have such techniques. I simply don't have the qualifications to come into contact with them."

After saying this, Ku Cai pushed the crystal orb that Mo Wuji had given her back to him. "Senior Brother Wuji, I'm about to die anyway. This crystal orb is the only thing my father left me, so I'll give it to you."

Mo Wuji subconsciously took the crystal orb. He was very clear about how extraordinary this crystal orb was. If he could also control the darkness rules, and then evolve his own darkness rule divine ability, his strength would definitely be much stronger than it was now.

He had just heard from Ku Cai that Pang Fengban had said that many Divine Kings had besieged that strange cultivator in the past, resulting in heavy casualties. Why was that? It was because this strange cultivator cultivated the darkness rules, which were too powerful. It didn't matter that he didn't have a darkness spiritual root. Don't even mention a darkness spiritual root; did he have a gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, or ice spiritual root? Could he not cultivate his Immortal Mortal Dao all the same?

"My father said that darkness rule divine abilities are the most powerful. Once one cultivates to the Divine King realm, they will be the most powerful being in the God Domain," Ku Cai said, seemingly having given up the idea of seeking a way to live, her tone becoming calm instead.

Mo Wuji slowly said, "Ku Cai, this crystal orb with the darkness cultivation technique is very useful to me. Letting me keep it here temporarily is also helping me a lot. How about this? Although I don't have a lightning-based cultivation technique, I am proficient in lightning-based divine abilities. If you don't mind, I can deduce a lightning-based cultivation technique that belongs to you."

Keeping this crystal orb on his person, Mo Wuji was not only doing so because the crystal orb would be of great help to him. More importantly, Mo Wuji knew that if this crystal orb remained on Ku Cai, it would be a disaster. If a strong person scanned Ku Cai's ring with their spiritual will in the future, Ku Cai would have no privacy. He was different; he could keep this crystal orb in his Immortal World.

Unless someone killed him and annihilated his spiritual sea, no one would even think of knowing that he had an Immortal World.

"Senior Brother Wuji, you can deduce cultivation techniques?" Ku Cai looked at Mo Wuji in shock. Just because she was introverted didn't mean she didn't know anything. She was very clear about what kind of people were capable of deducing cultivation techniques. Even her father, or even her great-grandfather who had entered the God Domain back in the day, couldn't deduce cultivation techniques.

"If you trust me, I can indeed deduce it, but I don't know the level of the cultivation technique," Mo Wuji said truthfully.

He was able to deduce the Immortal Mortal Technique, and he also possessed the meridian network of enlightenment and an understanding of the lightning rules. As long as he knew Ku Cai's spiritual meridians, he could definitely deduce a lightning-based cultivation technique. The only thing he didn't know was at what level the cultivation technique he deduced would be.

"Brother Wuji, can the cultivation technique you deduce allow me to enter the God Transformation Realm?" Ku Cai asked hesitantly, her address having changed unconsciously.

Mo Wuji waved his hand, speaking with great magnanimity. "Don't worry, it will definitely allow you to enter the God Transformation Realm."

Mo Wuji himself was currently at the God Transformation Realm. He didn't know if the cultivation technique he deduced could allow someone to enter the Heavenly God Realm, but he was certain it could allow someone to enter the God Transformation Realm.

"Then please, Brother Wuji, deduce a technique for me..." Ku Cai only said half of this sentence before she remembered her own fate. She then shook her head and didn't continue.

Mo Wuji said, "Ku Cai, the crises I've experienced in the past were even more dangerous than what you're facing. Didn't I still survive? Besides, if the Sect Leader wanted to kill you, would you still be alive now? The fact that he didn't kill you on the spot means he has hesitations. As long as there are hesitations, you have a chance. Believe one thing I say: If you don't accept your fate, you still have a chance to live. If you accept your fate, you have no chance at all. Even if there's a dead end ahead, you might be able to change it before you reach it."

Ku Cai raised her head to look at Mo Wuji, speaking seriously. "Brother Wuji, I'll listen to you."

...

"Boom! Ka! Ka! Crack!" The lightning arcs became denser and thicker. The dried-up swamp outside the Tian Fan Sect was now crisscrossed with rules, and the lightning almost covered the entire swamp.

All the elders of the Tian Fan Sect watched with trepidation. Many World Gods failed their tribulations and ultimately perished.

"Ka!" Another thick lightning arc crashed down, and everyone in the Tian Fan Sect felt a tightening in their hearts. Following this, a powerful and vast aura soared into the sky, directly crushing and covering an area of tens of thousands of miles.

The lightning arcs dissipated, and streaks of spiritual clouds descended. Pang Jie's figure emerged from the dispersing lightning arcs. That aura grew stronger and stronger, even giving off a feeling of breaking through the heavens.

Everyone in the Tian Fan Sect, including Shi Su, knelt on the ground. Almost everyone couldn't help but have red eyes. The appearance of a Divine King in the Tian Fan Sect meant that the Tian Fan Sect would never be as unknown as it was before.

"Congratulations to Sect Leader Pang on attaining the Divine King Realm and standing tall in the God Domain..." Countless congratulatory voices came.

As the Daoist clouds above Pang Jie's head disappeared, the majestic aura on Pang Jie's body gradually concealed itself, and the aura of a Divine King was no longer as obvious as it had been at first. Everyone was clear that the God Domain had gained another Divine King.

Pang Jie didn't continue cultivating. He cupped his fists towards the cultivators watching from outside and said, "My Tian Fan Sect will hold a Sect Re-establishment Ceremony and a Divine King Investiture Ceremony in thirty days. All friends are welcome to grace my Tian Fan Sect with their presence in thirty days."

Although there were no Divine Kings among these cultivators who had come to observe, everyone was very clear that Pang Jie was going to reorganize the sect. In thirty days, the God Domain would have another top-tier sect.

Everyone congratulated him one after another, and at the same time, they expressed that they would definitely come to attend the ceremony in thirty days.

Several experts who had once coveted the Tian Fan Sect's possessions felt a chill in their hearts. Without a Divine King in the Tian Fan Sect, an expert at the World God Realm could destroy the Tian Fan Sect without any consequences. Now that a Divine King had appeared in the Tian Fan Sect, they would be finished if their past actions were brought to justice.

"Disciple Shi Su greets Master." Pang Jie walked out of the swamp that had been blasted into gullies by the lightning arcs, and Shi Su hurried forward and bowed respectfully.

Following this, the other elders and dozens of disciples also respectfully stepped forward and paid their respects.

Pang Jie's gaze swept over the crowd, and he sighed and said, "My Tian Fan Sect was once a top-tier sect, but now it has fallen to this state."

"Ancestor, now that you have achieved the Divine King Realm, my Tian Fan Sect will definitely be able to create glory again," several elders quickly said.

"Yes, Grandfather, now that you have become a Divine King, my Tian Fan Sect will return to its former glory," even now, Pang Fengban was still unable to contain his excitement.

Pang Jie nodded, looked up at the two towering peaks that soared into the clouds, and slowly said, "You're right. All the things that were taken from my Tian Fan Sect back then must be returned, doubled. In thirty days, my Tian Fan Sect will hold a grand banquet for guests and re-establish the Sect Hall. Shi Su, you take care of this matter. I'll go stabilize my cultivation and then go out and do something."

"Yes," Shi Su quickly replied. He hesitated, wondering if he should bring up the matter of Ku Cai.

Pang Jie had long seen through Shi Su's hesitation, and he said indifferently, "Shi Su, you are my disciple. I told you back then that the Tian Fan Sect is upright and there is nothing that cannot be spoken. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."

"Yes, please Sect Leader move to the Sect Hall," Shi Su replied respectfully.

...

Half an hour later, in the Sect Hall. Pang Jie sat at the head of the table, with Shi Su and several elders sitting on either side. Although Ku Cai's darkness spiritual root was a source of trouble for everyone, now that a Divine King had appeared in the Tian Fan Sect, everyone's eyes were filled with incomparable excitement.

"Speak," Pang Jie nodded to Shi Su.

Although he hadn't shown his face in recent years, he had actually never left the Tian Fan Sect. He was very clear about Shi Su's actions. In his opinion, he was very satisfied with Shi Su's approach.

Without a Divine King in the Tian Fan Sect, and not even a World God, Shi Su's approach of not developing the sect and not allowing the sect to possess any spiritual energy was very reasonable.

"Yes," Shi Su stood up and bowed again before telling everything about Ku Cai.

When Pang Jie first heard that Ku Cai was actually a Flawless Spiritual Root, he was very excited, but as he listened to the rest, his expression became increasingly serious.

After Shi Su finished speaking, Pang Jie was silent for a long while before slowly saying, "Do you know what happened in the God Domain after that strange cultivator who came to the God Domain was besieged and killed?"

Before anyone could ask, Shi Su said, "After that strange cultivator was killed, what everyone thought about was not a battle of the Dao, but a cultivation technique. That cultivation technique was the darkness rule cultivation technique left behind by the strange cultivator."

The crowd exchanged glances, and they all understood what Ancestor Pang Jie meant. That strange cultivator had killed hundreds of Divine Kings who had besieged him all by himself. One could imagine how extraordinary the cultivation technique he cultivated was. Naturally, everyone wanted to snatch such a cultivation technique.

Pang Jie sighed and said, "That strange cultivator, whether intentionally or unintentionally, left behind a darkness rule cultivation technique. Although that strange cultivator was killed, the experts of the God Domain fought fiercely for this cultivation technique. At that time, when the strange cultivator was besieged, the God Domain's space had already been somewhat unstable. After the strange cultivator was killed, everyone fought again, and as a result, a crack finally appeared in the God Domain. The already small number of Divine Kings fell again in large numbers.

"At that time, everyone went crazy, and all kinds of treasures were taken out. Treasures such as the Luo Scroll and the Qiankun Cauldron were all taken out. Alas..."

Seeming to lament the terrible battle of that time, Pang Jie sighed again and said, "Where is that Ku Cai?"

Shi Su replied, "She has gone to the residence of another disciple, Mo Wuji. She probably knows that I want to kill her, so she is desperately seeking help."

Shi Su shook his head inwardly. Mo Wuji was a rogue cultivator who had been recruited just to fill a spot, and he wasn't even as good as Yin Lin. If it were the Tian Fan Sect of the past, Mo Wuji wouldn't even qualify as a menial disciple. Ku Cai seeking help from Mo Wuji could be considered as having run out of options.

"Go and bring her here," Pang Jie said.
