Upon hearing Lei Zunzhe's words, the clone fell silent for a moment. Then, Mo Tang seemed to hear a woman's melodious sigh beside him...
"Lei Nu... I never expected to see you again under these circumstances..."
Mo Tang's eyelids twitched.
"Holy crap! Lei Nu? That's Lei Zunzhe's name? Could it be that these two old monsters really have some kind of secret affair?"
Of course, Lei Zunzhe certainly didn't know what his disciple was thinking, otherwise he would probably have personally taken action to clean up the sect.
"Hehe, it's been so many years since anyone called that name..." "
But I never expected that after a century, I thought you were dead. I never imagined you'd be hiding in this ancient tomb? What secrets lie here that would make such a strong-willed woman like you willingly endure a century of silence?" Lei Zun Zhe was genuinely curious... After a moment of silence, Mo Tang even
faintly sensed the aura of the clone dissipating. This change naturally didn't escape Lei Zun Zhe's notice. Just as his expression changed, preparing to say something, the clone finally spoke. "Hehe, it seems the timing is perfect..." As soon as she finished speaking, the high platform standing within the hall suddenly emitted a seven-colored light, and a pressure that even Lei Zun Zhe felt fear descended from the sky, enveloping the entire world! In that instant, Mo Tang truly felt his insignificance, as if a single thought from the other party could obliterate him... This oppressive aura came and went quickly; the moment the light vanished, the entire hall returned to silence, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion. "What...is this?" Ying Li, as if he had walked through hell, stared blankly at his teacher, who now seemed so unfamiliar to him. Glancing slightly at his disciple, the clone shook his head, then turned his gaze to Lei Zun Zhe... "Didn't you want to know what I'm doing? Why don't you go and see for yourself?" Hearing this, Lei Zun Zhe frowned slightly, then without hesitation, transformed into lightning and disappeared from the spot. Mo Tang was also very curious, but after thinking about it, he ultimately made no move. However, when Lei Zunzhe reappeared before him, Mo Tang was shocked to find that his teacher was carrying a little girl who looked only seven or eight years old, wearing an ill-fitting adult dress… Held by the back of her collar by Lei Zunzhe's large hand, the little girl was very unhappy, kicking her short legs and shouting for him to be put down. Mo Tang was completely dumbfounded. Why had things changed like this? Where did this little girl come from? Was she a descendant of that Nether Spring Old Monster? Lei Zunzhe simply threw the little girl to the ground. The little girl looked like an ordinary person; after being thrown so hard, she almost cried. She stood up and ran straight to Lei Zunzhe, kicking him in the shin. "Holy crap! That's awesome!" Ying Li was completely dumbfounded... This was probably the first person to dare kick Thunder Venerable like that, right? Mo Tang, standing to the side, also secretly gave the little girl a thumbs up. This girl was already so fierce since she was little; who knew what she'd be like when she grew up! Of course, Thunder Venerable couldn't care less about any of this at the moment. His face was somewhat ashen, and there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes...
"You crazy woman, what have you done?"
"Hehehe..."
The clone's voice had long since changed back to her original voice, clear and elegant, like a mature older sister...
"Nothing much, just reshaped my body..." Reshaped her
body?!
At that one sentence, both Mo Tang and Lei Zunzhe were stunned, then their gazes involuntarily turned to the little girl beside them who was still rubbing her bottom.
"You...you..."
Although Lei Zunzhe already had the answer in his heart, he still felt disbelief.
A Dou Zun, a realm that countless people aspire to reach... yet this woman actually chose to disperse her hundreds of years of cultivation, directly becoming a naive little girl again!
"You're truly insane!"
After a long while, Lei Zunzhe could only utter this one sentence.
"Hahaha...yes, yes, you understand me best!"
The clone, however, didn't care at all, and laughed heartily.
"Ever since I discovered this underground palace a hundred years ago and saw the remains of that deceased Dou Sheng, I've gone mad..."
At this point, the clone's voice gradually lowered, her tone filled with endless desolation.
"Although we are both Venerables, beings revered by countless people across the continent... we are still just small fish in a quagmire when it comes to the true peak...
I know very well that the potential of this body has long been exhausted, and I'm afraid I'll never be able to break through the shackles and reach a higher level in my lifetime... From that moment on, I went mad!"
Venerable Lei listened silently to the madman's ramblings, but he could deeply understand the despair the other person felt at that time...
"Hehe, unfortunately, there's always a way out. It was at that moment that I encountered this Battle Saint Ruins..."
"Although this place is already dilapidated, and everything has turned into nothingness, I still managed to find the Battle Saint's remains..."
As he said this, the only eye that his clone had exposed suddenly shone brightly.
"The moment I saw the remains of this Dou Sheng, I saw a new hope for my continued growth!"
Saying this, the other person looked at Lei Zun Zhe again and said with a faint smile, "Weren't you curious about what kind of cultivation technique I obtained when we were in that ruin in the wilderness? I can tell you now, it's a heaven-defying method that can change one's fate and reshape one's life!"
Lei Zun Zhe's eyes widened instantly, and then he said incredulously, "You...you used the Dou Sheng essence left behind by those Dou Sheng remains to reshape your body?"
"Hahaha...it seems you're not so stupid after all, that's how it is!"
Lei Zun Zhe pointed at the still angry little girl on the ground, saying incredulously, "But why is she like this now? Is it a side effect of that secret technique?"
Now this little girl's body has not only changed, but even her soul is like a blank sheet of paper, with no memory of her past...
This isn't just reshaping a body, it's like being reincarnated!
Mo Tang, listening from the side, couldn't stop his mouth from twitching. He now shared the same thought as Lei Zunzhe... This woman had completely gone mad!
Trading hundreds of years of cultivation for a vague and uncertain future—no normal person would do something like that...
