As he felt the change within the thunder soul inside his body, Mo Yu slightly frowned. This was the first time he had seen it awaken on its own without his command.
His soul force probed into the depths of his spiritual sea, a quiet, cold, and mysterious space filled with a terrifying aura. After summoning and awakening the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder, the original twelve thunders that had once shocked the continent were now reduced to eleven.
After Mo Yu carefully examined the remaining eleven thunder origins, he discovered that the one that had awakened on its own was ranked eighth on the Thunder List of the Shenxiao Continent:
Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder!
This thunder, ranked two places higher than the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder, was a terrifyingly poisonous and extremely yin thunder. It was said that in ancient times, a thunderbolt fell from the heavens, and after absorbing the body of a strong cultivator who practiced the utmost yin and poisonous techniques in the boundless void, it underwent a qualitative change. The thunder had become infused with a terrifying poison. Even a Dou Zun expert would find it extremely troublesome if touched by it. It was one of the most feared thunders on the Shenxiao Continent.
In his past life, when Mo Yu subdued this thunder, he had spent immense effort, nearly being poisoned to death by its venom. Fortunately, he had already subdued five other thunders at that time, and with the help of his Heavenly Thunder Body, he successfully captured it.
Now, seeing the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder awaken on its own, and sensing that the source of its awakening was Xiao Yixian, Mo Yu was startled. Then, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him. His sharp mind immediately grasped the connection, and he realized something.
Could it be that the cultivator the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder devoured in the void also possessed the Woeful Poison Body?
Pondering this possibility, Mo Yu thought it was highly likely. The Woeful Poison Body was known to be an extremely yin and poisonous physique. In the original story, Xiao Yixian's poison cultivation was feared by countless experts.
And the expert devoured by the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder, although not necessarily at the Dou Di level, must have been incredibly powerful to have fallen in the void. It might have been through unintentionally devouring the body of a Woeful Poison Body cultivator that the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder transformed after being infused with their poisonous Dou Qi for hundreds of years. Eventually, it descended upon the Shenxiao Continent and became a terrifying thunder that struck fear into the hearts of many strong cultivators.
As he thought of this, Mo Yu's mind raced. He suddenly realized that Xiao Yixian's presence might offer the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder a prime opportunity to grow.
The outbreak of the Woeful Poison Body was disastrous for others. In the original story, Xiao Yixian's first outbreak wiped out an entire village, including the two elderly people who had raised her as their own. After that, the kind-hearted Xiao Yixian buried herself deep inside, giving way to the cold and ruthless Heavenly Poison Lady.
And that was only her first outbreak. As time went on, the destruction caused by her poison would grow even more severe. Eventually, it would be powerful enough to destroy an entire empire.
However, the poisonous outbursts that everyone feared could actually be a great boon for the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder, which was created through the Woeful Poison Body!
Since the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder underwent a qualitative change by devouring a Woeful Poison Body, what could be more fitting to nourish its growth than the poison from the Woeful Poison Body itself?
In fact, for the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder to reach its peak state, it would need to devour a strong cultivator with the Woeful Poison Body.
Of course, Mo Yu had no intention of sacrificing Xiao Yixian in pursuit of power. Not only was her current strength too weak, making her poison merely an appetizer for the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder, but the bond the two of them had formed over time also wouldn't allow him to betray his principles.
Moreover, Xiao Yixian wasn't the only person with a Woeful Poison Body. Mo Yu remembered that the Ice River Valley Master, Bing He, one of the top figures in Central Plain's three valleys, also possessed a Woeful Poison Body.
However, Bing He's situation was similar to Mo Yu's in that his Woeful Poison Body was acquired later in life. While not as potent as an innate body, the results would be similar.
Of course, these thoughts were for the distant future. Bing He was a Five-Star Dou Zun, and Mo Yu, who was merely a Three-Star Dou Shi, still had a long way to go before he could think of challenging someone of that level.
"Mo Yu, what's wrong?" Xiao Yixian asked softly, noticing his prolonged silence. She bit her lip, her delicate face showing concern.
The sensitive Xiao Yixian thought Mo Yu had changed his mind about their friendship. After all, the terrifying nature of the Woeful Poison Body was enough to drive most people away.
Hearing her voice, Mo Yu snapped out of his thoughts. He smiled and shook his head, gently patting her silky hair. "I was just thinking about something. Don't worry. I said we're friends, and I, Mo Yu, always keep my word."
Xiao Yixian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, her beautiful eyes flashing with warmth. "Mo Yu, having you as a friend is enough for me. Even if I die from some accident, I'll be content knowing I had a friend like you."
Listening to her speak so casually about her death, as if it were someone else's fate, Mo Yu's heart couldn't help but feel a little touched. How desperate must this poor girl be about her future to speak so nonchalantly of her own life?
Mo Yu naturally understood what she meant by "accident," but with the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder, perhaps the tragedy of Xiao Yixian from the original story could be avoided.
"Xiao Yixian, I have a gift for you," Mo Yu said, withdrawing his hand from her hair and smiling gently as he looked into her eyes.
"Oh? What is it? If it's not something good, I don't want it," Xiao Yixian teased, her mood clearly lifted by his words. She even had the energy to joke with him.
Mo Yu smiled and shook his head. If his rebirth could change the fate of this kind and adorable girl, then coming to the Dou Qi Continent wouldn't have been in vain.
Without responding to her directly, Mo Yu immersed his consciousness into his soul. The next moment, a purple-gray thunder essence appeared in his hand.
As soon as the thunder appeared, an extremely poisonous aura filled the room, turning it into a toxic swamp in an instant, causing anyone nearby to be terrified.
Staring at the thunder that was continuously emitting poisonous gas, Xiao Yixian's eyes widened in shock. She suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to the thunder, as if they came from the same source.
"This is the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder," Mo Yu said slowly, observing the resonance between Xiao Yixian and the thunder soul.
