Having lingered outside the gates of Shuisheng Village for a while, the enormous white wolf turned around and departed.

He strides forward towards the Hanyu Mountain ahead, his figure appearing immense like a towering peak, resembling the returning king of all beasts.

The clear river water flowed beneath his feet as he walked directly across the water’s surface, reaching the opposite bank and immersing himself deep into the forest.

The heavenly punishment clouds that once hovered above Hanyu Mountain have now dissipated and vanished.

The radiant sunlight bathes the mountains, while the serene tranquility is filled with the gurgling of clear springs and the melodies of chirping insects and singing birds.

Within the mountains, there is a majestic stone pathway and a dignified mountain gate. However, the white wolf didn’t tread that path, instead venturing through lush thickets and traversing rocky cliffs, following the untamed trail known only to the wild creatures of the mountains. It distanced itself from the clusters of courtyards, houses, and empty secluded dwellings found near the river bend at the foot of the mountain.

He, like an ordinary wild beast, ventured through the forests of Hanyu Mountain and arrived at its main peak, emerging from the wilderness itself.

Here, everything remains in its most primal state.

Around Hanyu Mountain, numerous dwellings and courtyards have emerged, likely serving as residences for the disciples of the Hanyu Mountain lineage. However, these dwellings and courtyards are all built around the main peak of Hanyu Mountain, where not a single blade of grass or tree has suffered any damage.

As Lu Heng ascended the ancient stone steps that were once laid by the members of the Wind Strike Department, he eventually arrived at a quaint grand temple dedicated to the Wolf God. Scattered around the Wolf God Temple were a few small wooden houses.

It was here that the white ape was chased by the young girl, while the Gu eagle watched from the branches, Lu Heng entertained several friends, and Huo Feng was imprisoned beneath the earth…

Before the temple, the enormous white wolf stood silently for a long time, until finally letting out a deep sigh, then took a step and walked inside.

Although more than four thousand years have passed, the Wolf God Temple within the barrier remains immaculate, untouched by any speck of dust.

While the Wolf God Temple, the Tao Scripture stone stele that stands outside the temple,remains intact and has not been removed from its original position.

The white wolf, originally intending to just take a look along the way, but as it stepped into the Wolf God Temple, its body trembled slightly, and its perception gained a peculiar sensation.

He furrowed his brows and looked towards the shrine ahead.

On the shrine, the colossal statue of the white wolf bore an uncanny resemblance to his present form.

The golden beast eyes, the majestic appearance, irresistibly evoked a desire to pay homage and worship.

What attracts the white wolf is not merely the lifelike representation of the statue, but rather a faint yet incredibly potent and soothing power emanating from within the statue.

The power, to Lu Heng, was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Familiarity arises from the fact that it was once a crucial foundation of the white wolf’s path, while unfamiliarity stems from the fact that Lu Heng, ever since attaining mastery over the divine thunder, has not laid hands on this object for over four millennia.

–wish power.

Within the altar of the Wolf God Temple, there exists a substantial amount of wish power.

Since Lu Heng, who achieved enlightenment through the divine thunder, completely abandoned the path of wish power, after all, the wish power provided by a mere Hanyu Mountain is like a drop in the ocean to him, hardly worth mentioning.

Therefore, all of the wish power is stored within the confines of the Wolf God Temple.

However, upon returning after a separation of four millennia, Lu Heng was startled to discover that the wish power within the temple had reached a staggering level.

Such an immense amount of wish power is definitely beyond what a small village could provide!

Could it be… due to the influence of the Heavenly Court?

Lu Heng remembered that in the folklore, his position as the Heavenly Lord seemed to be highly esteemed.

Could it be…

The enormous white wolf hesitated for a moment, then ultimately opened its mouth and deeply inhaled a breath towards the statue.

In an instant, the temple was filled with radiant splendor, as dazzling divine light illuminated the sky.

The mighty aura that enveloped the heavens and the earth materialized within the mountain forest.

An overwhelming surge of wish power, exceeding Lu Heng’s expectations, rushed towards him like a breaking flood, instantly engulfing the bewildered expression on the face of the white wolf.

This… How could there be so many of them!

As the white wolf was submerged by the wish power, it seemed to hear countless voices of beings praying and beseeching.

The whirlpool of wishful divine power reverberated within the Wolf God Temple.

The immense white wolf hovered in mid-air, continuously absorbing that vast amount of wish power.

However much he absorbed, the wish power within the statue continued to surge endlessly. The faith-infused wish power that the beings of the Celestial Desolation Realm had devoutly offered for over three thousand years now poured forth in its entirety, boundless and infinite.

One day…

Two days…

Three days…

Five days…

Ten days…

Twenty days…

Thirty days…

Until the first ray of sunlight on the thirty-seventh day dawned upon the summit of Hanyu Mountain, the long-muted Wolf God Temple finally stirred with activity.

The sparkling brilliance gradually dissipated, within the dissipation of the divine light that had lasted for over thirty days, a colossal white wolf descended slowly onto the ground.

Within the slightly opened eyes, it seemed as if there reflected billions of living beings from the Celestial Desolation Realm. The dazzling divine light flashed and disappeared in an instant.

After a few breaths, the colossal white wolf deeply exhaled a breath, returning to its normal state.

However, at this moment, the appearance of the white wolf seemed to have undergone some changes compared to thirty-seven days ago.

However, upon closer observation, it seemed as though no changes had occurred at all.

In the midst of this perplexing sense of contradiction, Lu Heng let out a sigh and shook his head.

“Such matters indeed exist…”

Originally, he had only come to the Wolf God Temple to obtain ripe divine fruits. However, to his surprise, he discovered an unexpected delight within the sacred confines of the Wolf God Temple.

Although the divine power of worship offered no assistance to his cultivation, the immense amount of wish power absorbed and refined proved to be of significant aid in mitigating his heavenly thunder.

Lu Heng attempted to blend the refined divine power of worship into the celestial thunder, and discovered that not only was it feasible, but its power was subtly elevated to a new level.

From now on, the heavenly thunder unleashed by Lu Heng is no longer an ordinary occurrence of heavenly thunder.

As the heavenly thunder strikes, infused with the collective wish power of all beings, its might will become even more terrifying!

Even Lu Heng couldn’t help but feel a tremor of unease!

Because this heavenly thunder, infused with the wish power of all beings, not only annihilates the soul, but its unique power also directly targets the core of the cultivator’s being. As the heavenly retribution descends, it feels as though countless malevolent spirits are aggressively questioning, and the terrifying pressure engulfs everything, making it nearly impossible to resist.

Those with even the slightest flaw in their Dao heart will immediately witness their Dao heart crumbling, never to be restored again.

Because this heavenly thunder has the power to not only destroy the physical body, but also annihilate the soul!

Even if one can withstand the onslaught of heavenly thunder upon the physical body through sheer strength, the impact upon the soul is not so easily resisted.

During its prime, the Candle Dragon could endure the bombardment of nine heavenly thunders and use this feat to astonish the world. However, if it were to face the special heavenly thunder that could annihilate the soul, even the Candle Dragon would likely suffer severe consequences.

Thinking of this, the massive white wolf couldn’t help but chuckle, revealing a slight smile.

The next time I meet Friend Candle Dragon, perhaps I can have him taste the flavor of the new heavenly thunder… Hahaha…

Before the Wolf God Temple, the colossal white wolf departed from the temple with a smile, heading towards the peach forest in the mountains.

There, thirty-six ripe peach fruits stood silently on the branches, awaiting Lu Heng’s harvest.
