đź“š The Thunder Palace Treasury
The morning after Jin Neo-mu's defeat, Thunder Palace had transformed completely. The oppressive atmosphere that had dominated for decades was gone, replaced by a sense of liberation that even the stone walls seemed to embrace.
Elder Brain Lightning-cloud, now serving as interim palace master, personally guided Jinho and the Bloodflame Sect team to the sacred treasury.
"For sixty years, Jin Neo-mu restricted access to this place," Brain Lightning-cloud explained as they descended marble stairs carved with lightning motifs. "Only he and his most trusted disciples could enter. We always wondered what he was hiding."
The treasury doors were massive bronze panels inscribed with ancient thunder runes. As they swung open, everyone gasped in unison.
「By the heavens...」 Blood Heavenly Emperor whispered in amazement.
「This is... incredible,」 Thunder Lightning King breathed.
The treasury wasn't just a storage room—it was a vast underground library spanning three levels, with countless scrolls, books, and artifacts arranged in perfect order. Lightning energy flowed through crystalline channels in the ceiling, providing illumination that made everything glow with ethereal blue light.
đź“ś Bloodfire's Expert Analysis
"I've studied ancient texts for thirty years," Bloodfire murmured, approaching a section of particularly old manuscripts with reverence. "But I've never seen a collection this extensive."
Her fingers traced the spines of leather-bound volumes, reading titles that dated back millennia. Suddenly, she stopped.
"Jinho-nim, look at this."
In a climate-controlled glass case sat a massive tome bound in what appeared to be crystallized lightning. The cover bore a symbol that made Thunder Lightning King stir within Jinho's consciousness.
「That's... that's my personal seal. The original Thunder Scripture.」
"The original?" Jinho approached carefully.
Brain Lightning-cloud nodded gravely. "Legend says it was written by Thunder Lightning King himself before the Great Division. Jin Neo-mu claimed it was lost, but..."
"He was hoarding it," Bloodfire concluded, her voice tight with anger. "A priceless historical document, hidden away for personal gain."
🔍 Decryption Process
Bloodfire's ancient text expertise proved invaluable. Her eyes glowed with concentrated energy as she activated her special ability—Ancient Script Analysis.
"The writing system is partially encrypted," she explained, carefully opening the massive tome. "But I can decode it layer by layer."
As she worked, streams of text began appearing in the air above the book, translated into modern script:
Chapter 1: Thunder Lightning King's True Abilities
"The essence of thunder is not destruction, but connection. Through lightning, one can tear holes between dimensions, creating pathways across infinite space..."
"Dimensional travel?" Jinho read aloud.
「Yes,」 Thunder Lightning King confirmed. 「My original power wasn't just controlling lightning—I could use thunder to move between different planes of existence.」
Chapter 2: Spatial Rift Creation Techniques
"The key lies in understanding that space itself is like fabric. Lightning, when properly controlled, can cut through this fabric, creating temporary doorways. However, the practitioner must maintain perfect balance, or risk being torn apart by dimensional forces..."
Bloodfire's excitement was palpable. "This explains so much about Supreme Demon God's abilities! If Thunder Lightning King could travel between dimensions..."
Chapter 3: Relationship with Supreme Demon God
"When the division occurs, each fragment will scatter to different realms. The Dark Shadow will sink to the shadow dimension. The Ice Soul will freeze itself in temporal space. Blood Heaven will bind itself to the physical realm. And I... I will anchor myself to the storm dimension, waiting for the day of reunion..."
đź”® Shocking Revelations
As Bloodfire continued translating, the scope of the revelations grew larger:
Current Locations of Supreme Demon God Fragments:
Blood Heaven Emperor: Physical realm (currently with Jinho) Thunder Lightning King: Storm dimension threshold (currently with Jinho) Ice Soul Phantom Emperor: Temporal frozen space (possibly near Ice Soul Palace) Dark Shadow Army: Shadow dimension (location unknown)
The Reversal Process Warning:"Should someone attempt to reverse the Four-Division Law, know this: the fragments will be drawn together automatically once three are gathered. But without perfect emotional balance, the resulting fusion will be even more unstable than the original division. The practitioner risks not just failure, but complete obliteration of consciousness itself."
"Three fragments trigger automatic attraction?" Jinho felt a chill.
「That means if you encounter either Dark Shadow or Ice Soul Phantom Emperor while we're together...」 Blood Heavenly Emperor's voice was grim.
「The fusion process would begin whether we want it or not,」 Thunder Lightning King finished.
The Truth About Jin Neo-mu's Plan
The final section revealed Jin Neo-mu's true knowledge:
"The Thunder Palace descendant who seeks to harvest my power will find disappointment. The Thunder Scripture cannot be stolen—it can only be inherited by one who possesses both the bloodline affinity and the emotional strength to handle the storms within. Forced extraction will result in the power choosing its true successor instead."
"So Jin Neo-mu knew he might fail," Bloodfire mused. "But he tried anyway out of desperation."
đź’Ž New Understanding Unlocked
As the translation completed, Jinho felt a profound shift in his understanding:
『Four-Division Law Interpretation Rate: 25% → 50% ACHIEVED』
The system notification appeared in his mind, accompanied by a warm sensation as new knowledge integrated into his consciousness.
Newly Unlocked Abilities:
Spatial Awareness Lv.2: Detect all life forms within 1km radius Dimensional Rift Sensing: Recognize portals to other dimensions Thunder-Blood Manipulation Lv.1: Freely combine blood energy and lightning
『However, 50% is still insufficient for true mastery』 the system warned.
⚠️ Disturbing Implications
But the revelations weren't all positive. Bloodfire's expression grew troubled as she reached the final pages.
"Jinho-nim, there's something disturbing here. Look at this passage about the 'Acceleration Signs.'"
"When the fragments begin to awaken, reality itself becomes unstable. Time flows inconsistently, space warps randomly, and beings from other dimensions may begin crossing over. These are signs that the Supreme Demon God's resurrection is approaching—whether through reunion or through external force."
"External force?" Jinho asked.
「Someone trying to artificially trigger the reunion,」 Blood Heavenly Emperor realized. 「Like Dark Shadow Army's descendant.」
「Or using the fragments for their own power,」 Thunder Lightning King added ominously.
Brain Lightning-cloud, who had been listening quietly, spoke up: "Recently, we've had reports of strange phenomena across the martial world. Time distortions, spatial anomalies..."
"It's already starting," Jinho whispered.
đź“ť Scene Conclusion
As they carefully closed the ancient tome, Jinho felt the weight of new knowledge settling on his shoulders. The Thunder Scripture had revealed truths that changed everything about their mission.
"We need to be more careful than ever," he said finally. "If what this says is true, we're running out of time."
「The real question is,」 Thunder Lightning King said grimly, 「who else knows about the acceleration signs?」
「And are they trying to stop the reunion... or cause it?」 Blood Heavenly Emperor added.
Outside the treasury, thunder rumbled ominously in a cloudless sky—as if the heavens themselves were responding to the ancient secrets that had just been unveiled.
But there was something strange about that thunder. Something that made all three of them pause and listen more carefully...
