Without the impediment of a powerful force, the Nine Profound Golden Thunder was already 98% certain of gathering the spirits. Furthermore, with the added assistance of Chen Guan's spiritual energy seeds,
this gathering was exceptionally easy, the Nine Profound Golden Thunder not even feeling any significant backlash.
Within those enormous dragon eyes, the invisible yet palpable spiritual energy grew ever stronger, reaching an unprecedented level of vitality.
Chen Guan watched, unconsciously recalling the image of little Qingyan at birth: innocence, curiosity, joy, excitement, caution...
every emotion seemed to be palpable in those eyes.
The Nine Profound Golden Thunder blinked, locking onto Chen Guan before it. This was the first person its newborn soul had seen, and the warmth between them was beyond words.
"Roar!"
With a joyful howl, the Nine Profound Golden Thunder leaped up, like a giant whale long stranded returning to the sea, darting around Chen Guan, stirring up waves of thunder.
The black magic thunders further out also exploded frantically, cheering and leaping for joy, celebrating the rebirth of the Emperor of Thunder.
Hundreds of feet of massive black magic lightning streaked through the void, flashing and landing on the body of the reckless Nine Profound Golden Thunder. Transformed into powerful energy, it replenished the internal deficiencies, making the golden thunder dragon even more radiant, and its aura was rapidly recovering.
However, the Nine Profound Golden Thunder was too powerful before its spiritual gathering. Even with the constant supply of black magic lightning, it would still take some time to recover to its peak.
Emotions were contagious, and watching these scenes, Chen Guan smiled with immense relief.
"Long, congratulations! From now on, you are a true living being. You recover your strength here, I have to go out and take care of something."
At Chen Guan's voice, the reckless Nine Profound Golden Thunder instantly stopped, its massive head landing in front of Chen Guan, its nose nuzzling against his chest, its reluctance evident.
Chen Guan stroked the shimmering golden dragon scales and said with a smile, "I won't leave for now. I'll just go a little further out. You can focus on recuperating."
Upon hearing this, the Nine Profound Golden Thunder calmed down, like a newly born beast watching its mother leave to forage...
Chen Guan hadn't deceived it and stopped at the area where Xiao Wu had wreaked havoc.
Despite Xiao Wu consuming vast quantities of Black Demonic Thunder over the past month, no significant changes were apparent. The lightning, rarely seen in the outside world, seemed endless here.
Unfortunately, after a month of absorbing the energy from the Black Demonic Thunder, Chen Guan was almost no longer able to use it. He had developed resistance, and relying solely on Black Demonic Thunder to break through to the Six-Star Dou Sheng realm was impossible.
Chen Guan had been prepared for this and wasn't disappointed.
To take another step, or even two, he still needed the Nine Profound Golden Thunder!
...
In the blink of an eye, another month had passed.
It had been six months since Chen Guan's last visit to Dragon Island.
"Boom!"
"Whoosh!"
In a certain area very close to the deepest part of the Void Thunder Pool, black thunder danced wildly, and pale green flames blazed, resembling a forbidden zone of thunder and fire.
Within this purgatory, a vast, crystal-clear river, several feet wide and resembling a jade-like river, slowly flowed around a figure in green. The rich fragrance of medicinal herbs was intoxicating even from a distance of hundreds of feet.
This river was condensed purely from the essence of medicinal liquid!
Ordinary people could hardly imagine the immense consumption required.
After extracting the essence of the last herb and channeling it into the surrounding river, Chen Guan sighed softly, a hint of regret in his eyes.
Over 200,000 rare herbs, just gone in a flash.
And this was just the auxiliary ingredients.
"With my current level of skill, refining a ninth-grade Profound Pill of Thunder Tribulation Pill should be no problem,"
Chen Guan muttered, calming himself.
The energy of the Nine Profound Golden Thunder was far too violent and powerful. Although Chen Guan had extracted the seal, he couldn't directly devour and digest it like he did the Black Demonic Thunder.
Furthermore, even if he were lucky enough to succeed, it wouldn't be the most effective method. Reaching the late six-star Dou Sheng level would be the best he could hope for.
Chen Guan wasn't satisfied with this result.
Harnessing the power of the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, he wanted to achieve a breakthrough.
Only by reaching the seven-star level could he truly maximize its potential.
Then, even if the Soul Clan's conspiracy were exposed, their fangs fully exposed, Chen Guan wouldn't have to worry too much. The only threats he could pose could be counted on one hand.
Back to the point, the best way to harness the energy of the Nine Profound Golden Thunder was to use it as the main ingredient in refining the infamous Thunder Tribulation Pill!
The Thunder Tribulation Pill was an extremely special elixir.
There was no specific recipe for it, and its quality varied widely.
To refine it, there were only two key points.
First, the main ingredient must be thunder. Whether it's pill thunder, tribulation thunder, or even naturally occurring thunder from heaven and earth , all can be used as medicine.
Second, the more thorough the preparation, the higher the quality of the Thunder Tribulation Pill.
For example, Chen Guan used Nine Profound Golden Thunder as the main ingredient, supplemented by over 200,000 medicinal herbs and magic cores. This was absolutely the best of the best.

It's no exaggeration to say that as long as the refining procedures are followed successfully, achieving the ninth-grade Xuandan will be a breeze. As
for the ninth-grade Jindan, there's probably no hope...
After a moment of contemplation, Chen Guan's spirit and energy reached their peak.
With a wave of his hand, Xiaowu appeared. Its tiny mouth opened, and a ball of golden light burst forth , accompanied by bursts of thunder. "Boom!" The golden light surged against the wind, expanding almost instantly, transforming into a massive golden thunder dragon several thousand feet long. Its appearance was identical to the Nine Profound Golden Thunder before its spiritual gathering. "Roar!" The thunder dragon roared from the sky, its massive golden eyes devoid of any emotion. After all, it was now pure energy, devoid of any intelligence. Staring at this fierce thunder dragon, Chen Guan's expression was solemn. His soul fragment emanated from his body, and a vast spiritual force instantly enveloped the entire scene. Chen Guan's true form was also not idle, his hands rapidly forming hand seals. "Rise!" With a single word, a vast area a thousand feet in radius instantly illuminated, an endless sea of fire spreading out. It was the grand formation he had prepared long in advance. Xiao Wu babbled, his chubby body transformed into a stream of light, and he plunged relentlessly into the formation, instantly igniting the entire world with intense heat. With Xiao Wu controlling the formation, Chen Guan no longer needed to be distracted. He shifted his hand seals, and a massive finger seal, thousands of feet in size, fiercely pointed at the Thunder Dragon. Simultaneously, his soul clone and the Five-Whirl Fire Separation Technique unleashed their might. Blazing flames surged forward, and soul storms shattered vast swaths of space, trapping the Thunder Dragon within the formation. "Roar!" Under the combined attack from three directions, the golden Thunder Dragon roared back, ferociously resisting, its aftermath annihilating the waves of black magic. Unfortunately, it was not the full power of the Nine Profound Golden Thunder. While its power was immense and immense, it still fell short of the Nine Profound Golden Thunder at its peak. For Chen Guan, dealing with such unintelligent resistance was easier than taming a wild horse. In less than a day, Chen Guan completely suppressed it. With a crackling sound, the massive creature twisted and cracked, then exploded. The thunder dragon exploded, disintegrating into vast swathes of viscous golden liquid that floated in the sky. These slurries were permeated with unparalleled energy fluctuations. With a thought, Chen Guan, controlling the formation, Xiao Wu, leaped out. With a flicker of his body, he transformed into a thousand-foot-tall fire cauldron. Its lid opened wide, surging with suction. Instantly, the vast ocean of golden liquid poured down like a torrential rain, plunging into the cauldron. As the last drop of golden liquid fell into the cauldron, a whistling, cyan-pink flame erupted, its terrifying heat distorting the very fabric of space. Chen Guan waved his hand, and the medicinal essence surrounding him swirled, pouring into the fire cauldron... "Ninth-grade Profound Pill! I haven't even tasted it yet! Please don't let me down!" Chen Guan murmured, his soul returning to his body. He closed his eyes, awaiting the final elixir's emergence! Refining the Ninth-grade Profound Pill was an extremely time-consuming and laborious task. Even though Chen Guan had a certain degree of confidence, he dared not be careless. The Void Thunder Pool calmed down considerably, with only the dense blast of Black Demonic Thunder continuing to explode. Deeper within, the Nine Profound Golden Thunder's power was rapidly recovering, growing stronger day by day. Occasionally , it would poke its massive, mountain-like head out to peer outside. Confirming that Chen Guan was still sitting cross-legged in the void, it felt incredibly reassured. It opened its dragon mouth and gulped down a bellyful of Black Demonic Thunder, continuing to recover its strength. Eat, sleep, eat, sleep, eat, and occasionally stretch its body. The Nine Profound Golden Thunder's growth was truly enviable. This stable atmosphere lasted for a full month. That day, Chen Guan suddenly opened his eyes. The lake of medicinal liquid in the massive fire cauldron not far away had long since vanished. Now, within the cauldron, a golden light permeated, hazy shadows shrouded it. A fist-sized pill, radiant as gold, could be seen quietly hovering in the center, like the sun in the sky amidst a sea of blazing clouds. Faintly, a dragon-like shadow flickered around the pill, emanating streaks of golden lightning. A terrifying aura, mighty and rumbling, emanated from the cauldron. The Thunder Tribulation Pill was accomplished! Chen Guan gazed at the pill in the cauldron, his eyes blazing with passion, and he suddenly rose to his feet. At that moment, the gloomy darkness of the void thunder pool deepened. Layers of black clouds gathered, swallowing the already feeble light. A terrifying might quietly enveloped them. Pill Thunder, the final test was approaching. Chen Guan was calm and unafraid. He had already overcome 99% of the difficulties, so how could he be stopped by this final test? A golden light flashed under his feet, and Chen Guan soared thousands of feet high, holding his head high and chest out, waiting for the pill thunder to fall. However, at this moment, an unexpected thing happened. A little girl with a bun, as cute as a New Year's picture doll, suddenly appeared beside Chen Guan, hugged his arm very intimately, and looked at the dark sky above her head. There was no tension or fear on her face, but rather a little joy. "Mom, I'll come, I'll help you!"
