The Wutong Tree was well-informed and knowledgeable. He was far from what Ou Yangming and the others could compare to. He looked into the distance and thought for a while.
Afterward, he said, “There’s a way.”
“What way? Tell me!”
Ou Yangming’s eyes were filled with joy.
Old Wutong responded slowly, “The ancient Bloodthirsty Insects’ outer shells are extremely tough and difficult to deal with, but there’s a flaw. They’re afraid of lightning.”
The heavenly path had its rules and would not allow a perfect species to be born in this world. The flaw of the ancient Bloodthirsty Insects was their fear of lightning.
Lil’ Red rolled his eyes. “Old Wutong, it’s as if you didn’t come up with a way at all. The valley is pitch-black and isolated from the outside world. How can we get lightning here?”
“This…” Old Wutong hesitated for a moment. This was a problem. If they could get some lightning from the outside world, it would not be a big deal. Now that they were in a secret realm, it would not be easy to get lightning.
Everyone frowned again. So what if they knew the weakness of the Bloodthirsty Insects? Without lightning, it would be useless.
Light flashed in Lil’ Red’s hand, and a purple bead appeared. He asked, “Lil’ Ming, do you think this thing of mine is useful?”
“What’s this?” Ou Yangming lowered his head to take a look.
Lil’ Red said, “This is the Lightning Bead, a treasure of the Phoenixes, but I don’t know how to use it. Besides, based on my inherited memories, this thing doesn’t seem to have any offensive power.”
“Lightning Bead?” The Wutong Tree also lowered his head to look at the bead. His eyes were filled with joy as he hurriedly said, “There’s a large amount of Thunderbolt Powers stored inside. As long as we release them, we’ll be able to solve the problem outside.”
“How do we release them?” Lil’ Red shook his head. “I don’t know how to use this thing.”
The branches on the Wutong Tree shook, and he said excitedly, “Isn’t Master a blacksmith master? As long as this bead is fused into a weapon, the weapon will carry thunderbolts. That way, it can release the Thunderbolt Powers within.”
This suggestion made everyone hopeful all of a sudden
“Lil’ Ming’s smithing technique is brilliant. He’ll be able to do it for sure.” Big Yellow cheered Ou Yangming on from the side.
Ou Yangming’s expression changed, and he said, “I can give it a try.”
Lil’ Red threw the Lightning Bead over. Ou Yangming caught it in his hand. He could feel the majestic Thunderbolt Powers within. If the powers burst out, they could destroy even a Ruler. This thing was very precious.
Ou Yangming looked up and expressed, “Lil’ Red, thank you.”
“You’re welcome,” Lil’ Red said magnanimously, “Lil’ Ming, what’s mine is yours.”
Ou Yangming did not continue to be polite. They had a close relationship, after all.
After finding a quiet place, Ou Yangming began to study the bead. Big Yellow and the others also stayed far away and did not disturb him.
This was a brand new attempt. Even a smithing master like Ou Yangming had to be careful. He had made many magic weapons that could resist thunderbolts, but he had never made one that could release thunderbolts.
Ou Yangming was already familiar with smithing magic weapons. After thinking for a while, he began to act.
The purple Phoenix Fire burned in the air.
A 10,000-year-old cold iron was turned into balls of molten iron. Soon, Ou Yangming made an embryo, which was a treasure sword.
Swords were the king of all weapons. Ou Yangming did not make it because he liked it but mainly because it was simpler and more convenient. The materials required were also much less than the ones used for sabers and sticks.
After the sword was smithed, Ou Yangming struck while the iron was hot. He made a groove on it and carefully engraved the Lightning Bead on it.
The rune was activated, and a bright light flashed on the sword.
“It’s done!”
A trace of joy flashed across Ou Yangming’s face, and he hurriedly appraised it.

[Skill: Rolling Thunderbolts (By using mental power, activate the Thunderbolt Powers within the Lightning Bead. The area within a radius of several meters will be bombed by thunderbolts. After the Thunderbolt Powers are used up, they’ll self-recover.)]
“What a precious treasure.” Ou Yangming put away the treasure and stood up. Lil’ Red, Big Yellow, and the others, who had been paying attention to him, immediately approached him.
“Lil’ Ming, how is it?” Lil’ Red asked anxiously.
“Did you have to ask? If Lil’ Ming makes a move, it’ll be a piece of cake.” Big Yellow’s eyes were also filled with anticipation.
Ou Yangming shook the Lightning Sword in his hand and said, “I succeeded. This sword has a Rolling Thunderbolts skill. It should have some effect on those Bloodthirsty Insects.”
The Wutong Tree also moved over. He glanced at the sword in Ou Yangming’s hand and said, “Master, you’re indeed a genius to have smithed a magic weapon in such a short time. Even so, you still have to be careful. Especially when encountering a red Bloodthirsty Insect, you mustn’t be entangled with it and must leave as soon as possible.”
Ou Yangming was slightly stunned and asked, “Is there anything special about a red Bloodthirsty Insect?”
The Wutong Tree nodded and said, “Red Bloodthirsty Insects are the king of the ancient Bloodthirsty Insects. When they reach adulthood, they’re very strong. Even a Ruler who mastered the laws won’t be their match. Unless…”
“Unless what?” Ou Yangming asked. When he left the valley, he seemed to have noticed a red Bloodthirsty Insect. After being reminded by the Wutong Tree, he became a little nervous.
“Unless it’s a Ruler who has reached the second step of the laws. One should then be able to fight against a red Bloodthirsty Insect,” the Wutong Tree answered.
“The second step of the laws.” Ou Yangming was slightly shocked. He had never heard of this. ‘Could it be that there are many levels among Rulers? What does the second step of the laws represent?’
The Wutong Tree understood that his master did not know about this. He was not surprised. Even in the Great Wide World, very few people knew about the levels of the laws. Only Rulers who had comprehended the laws would come into contact with them.
Since his master moved up step by step from the bottom, it was normal that he did not know.
He explained, “Master, Rulers and Venerable Ones are different. At that level, the difference in strength may be like the difference between Heaven and Earth. Rulers who have just broken through from Venerable Ones are ordinary emperors. Their strengths could suppress Venerable Ones, but they’re only the lowest existences among Rulers.
“Above that are Rulers who have grasped the laws. Grasping the laws is a qualitative leap. Usually, a Ruler who has grasped the laws wouldn’t have any problems against 5 or 6 ordinary low-level Rulers. The laws also have different levels. As one’s understanding of the laws becomes deeper, they’ll enter a special boundary, which is the second step of the laws. Once a Ruler achieves that, it’ll be very easy to kill low-level Rulers who haven’t grasped the laws.”
The Wutong Tree used the simplest way to explain the meaning of the second step of the laws, then he looked at Ou Yangming and said encouragingly, “Master, your ability to comprehend the laws is very astonishing. As long as you become a Ruler, I believe you’ll reach the second step of the laws very soon.”
“You don’t have to flatter me.” Ou Yangming smiled slightly. “I know my limitations. This second step will be very difficult for sure. Even the clan master of the Shaman Tribe hasn’t reached it. I’m still far from that.”
Ou Yangming stood up and glanced at his companions around him. “This time, I’ll go out alone. You guys wait here.”
Lil’ Red and Big Yellow also understood very well. After all, there were so many terrifying insects outside. The 2 of them were only Venerable Ones, so it would be better for them not to cause trouble.
“Lil’ Ming, be careful.”
Lil’ Red and Big Yellow said worriedly.
“Master, you must take care.” The branches of the Wutong Tree also shook a few times.
“I’m leaving.” Ou Yangming held the Lightning Sword in his hand and walked toward the empty space at the side. His body flickered with light, and he disappeared from the poisonous pill’s world.
As soon as he arrived outside, he felt a strong sense of danger. His body flashed quickly, and the power of laws protected his body.
In just an instant, the bent blades of 7 or 8 Bloodthirsty Insects slashed at his body. This was even after he had carefully dodged.
Fortunately, his body was protected by the power of laws, and he was wearing a protective magic weapon. Otherwise, the attacks just now would have seriously injured him.
Ou Yangming flew into the sky and looked down. His scalp was slightly numb.
“There are too many of them.”
When he left, there were at most tens of thousands of Bloodthirsty Insects. At this moment, they were densely packed, one layer after another. They were uncountable.
“Have they been waiting for me?” Ou Yangming felt miserable. He thought that after he and Lil’ Red left, these Bloodthirsty Insects would also leave. He did not expect that they did not move at all. Furthermore, there were even more of them gathered here.
Just as Ou Yangming was thinking, hundreds of Bloodthirsty Insects jumped up, and their sharp scythes slashed toward him.
The blade-lights were incomparably fierce. Ou Yangming might not care if there were 1 or 2, but there were too many Bloodthirsty Insects this time. His right hand gripped the sword tightly.
A muffled cry came from the air
“Rolling Thunderbolts.”
The Lightning Sword released a purple light. The Bloodthirsty Insects that were pouncing toward him suddenly felt a sense of danger.
“Crack.”
A bolt of lightning jumped around the sword. The Bloodthirsty Insects that were the first to pounce seemed to have seen the most fearsome thing in the world. They hurriedly turned around and ran.
The other Bloodthirsty Insects were also flustered. Their indomitable auras just now had disappeared completely. This was just the beginning.
More sparks appeared on the Lightning Sword. Ou Yangming held the sword in his hand and pointed at the ground.
“Boom.”
A violent explosion sounded.
The skin and flesh of 7 or 8 Bloodthirsty Insects on the ground were blasted open. Their originally sturdy outer shells were as fragile as bubbles under the thunderbolts.
At this time, the Lightning Sword was covered in purple light. With Ou Yangming’s body as the center, everything within several meters was within the range of the thunderbolts.
“This is the time.”
Ou Yangming’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly ran into the distance.
