Chapter 777: Chapter 364: Thunder Emperor! Domain Guidance! (Part 2)

“That’s right,”

Frost Moon nodded and continued, “He is indeed a genius of this type, as he himself is a powerful Warrior, possessing strong resistance and immense strength.”

“When dealing with geniuses of the same type, he can often teach them more, but facing those not compatible, he can only impart some surface knowledge. Thus… it also serves as a form of indirect selection.”

“Hmm.”

Ye Mingqiu nodded in understanding.

The Thunder Emperor, a Tier Five Spiritualist, was powerful but not omnipotent. Facing Spiritualists of different types, it was better to teach less rather than inadequately impart knowledge, which in itself was correct.

Selection is necessary, as failing to do so might complicate matters.

“Whew~”

Ye Mingqiu took a deep breath, placing both hands on the huge gate, firmly holding his stance as his muscles exploded with terrifying power, causing the giant door to emit rumbling sounds.

The sound was like thunder, and the surface of the massive gate made of top-grade black material gleamed with lightning, which funneled into Ye Mingqiu’s body through his arms, amplifying his power and growing ever more terrifying.

‘Does the electric shock intensity depend on the power feedback?’

Ye Mingqiu chuckled, instantly grasping the designer’s intent.

Not only must power be sufficiently strong, but it also requires a high level of resistance and control. Without sufficient power, the gate won’t move; inadequate control results in great harm while attempting to open it; lacking resistance leads to quick elimination.

Maintaining moderate power, continuously applying force to control the shock intensity with unwavering resistance is the optimal method to pass the gate trial.

However…

That’s the mindset of the weak!

“Ha!!”

Ye Mingqiu shouted boldly, unleashing unrestrained power to forcefully open the massive gate, its thunderous sound magnifying, and resonating with increasing intensity, as the azure blue lightning struck Ye Mingqiu through the gate.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Thunder descended like rain, its explosive sound leaving Frost Moon on edge.

She had no doubt that if any bolt tore into her, it would trigger her life-saving item, forcing her to leave.

‘Facing such terrifying lightning, do you still choose to confront it head-on, Captain?’

“Screech…!”

The piercing friction sound occurred as the giant door scraped the ground, under Frost Moon’s incredulous gaze, the over hundred-meter tall door slowly moved, producing intense friction sounds.

Black friction marks had formed between the ground and the gate from innumerable openings.

The gate’s movement accelerated until Ye Mingqiu completely pushed it aside, opening a clear path.

“Captain, I’ll not follow you beyond this point; this is the door you’ve opened, and I cannot borrow your hand to enter. Those are the rules, see you later,” Frost Moon waved with a smile.

“Okay.”

Ye Mingqiu nodded and then stepped into the Imperial Palace.

The interior of the palace was expansive, seemingly using some space-folding technology, equipped not only with large-scale facilities made of top-grade materials but also hidden array patterns.

It functions as a sleeping palace, and as a fast-moving war fortress.

Spiritualists often prioritize practicality; when you find something particularly attractive, it indicates substantial wealth to decorate the surface.

Thus, generally, the more beautiful the buildings, the stronger they are; those lacking surface decoration clearly have not reached pinnacle standards.

“Tap! Tap! Tap!….”

Clear footsteps sounded, Ye Mingqiu turned towards the source, seeing a tall but not excessively robust man descending from the second-floor staircase, smiling at him, “Welcome to the Imperial Palace, young powerhouse.”

“Honored to meet you, revered Thunder Emperor.”

Ye Mingqiu replied courteously.

Despite his great strength, the opponent was a Tier Five powerhouse; necessary respect and etiquette were not to be skipped, reflecting proper manners beyond capability.

As a seeker, one must exhibit the demeanor of a seeker.

“Hmm.”

The Thunder Emperor nodded slightly, his smile becoming more natural and composed. Although the previous authority mentioned Ye Mingqiu’s favorable character, direct assessment is necessary for trust.

Seeing is believing; the Thunder Emperor trusts only what he sees.

He then approached Ye Mingqiu and asked, “You’re here to learn Domain techniques from me, correct? Do you have materials?”

“Only a bit, not enough.”

“Then let’s start with theory; as for the practical process… you can simulate using devices.”

“Thank you.”

“No need for thanks. You’ve arrived here by consuming resources and completing trials, owing me nothing, so there’s no necessity for such formality,” the Thunder Emperor chuckled and then said, “Follow me, let’s switch locations for the discussion.”

….

In a roughly seven-hundred-meter radius circular special room, Ye Mingqiu and the Thunder Emperor sat at the core. The Thunder Emperor, without superfluous words, simply began, “Now, I’ll help you understand the Domain’s concept. What’s your knowledge level?”

“Not much.”

Ye Mingqiu replied.

“Hmm, good, you’re honest, I like honest people. Let me thoroughly explain Domains to you,” the Thunder Emperor smiled.

“Essentially, a Domain is about creating a unique area exclusive to oneself. Different Domains can be stacked or clash with each other, categorized not by effect but by the conception and method during creation, broadly divided into three schools.”

“Rule School, focused on rules. Construct a Domain; those breaking rules face punishment within, while rule-compliant ones gain ability enhancements. Advantage: strong Domain effect; Disadvantage: rules might be exploited due to inherent flaws.”

“Creation School, centered on creation, forming your own world, yielding various attack or defense capabilities, possibly spawning special lifeforms like spirits or Elemental Life.”

“Core School, driven by a core purpose, creating a Domain with everything centered around initial objectives. Everything aims to fulfill or strengthen that initial purpose or effect.”

“Each Domain type has its own strengths and weaknesses, with no inherent superiority. The real strength lies in the user, understood?”

“Yes.”

Ye Mingqiu nodded, now understanding Domains deeper than before, speculating that the Ancient Elf Monarch’s Divine Tree Domain likely belongs to the Creation School, while the Jade Rhinoceros God’s Pure White Sanctuary is probably either Core or Rule School.

Owing to its powerful effects, Rule School seems more likely. Creating such a Domain must have high complexity, consuming substantial resources.

Subsequently, the Thunder Emperor educated him about Domain effect-related topics.

Ye Mingqiu gained substantial insights.

Soon, curiosity led him to ask, “I wish to inquire about something.”

“Go ahead.”

“Is there any way to expedite Ancient Magic Domain construction?” Ye Mingqiu asked.

“There isn’t.”

The Thunder Emperor shook his head, expressing, “Ancient Magic Domain is essentially an exclusive special ability for a select few, requiring not only powerful Spirit but formidable Soul Power. Few meet these prerequisites.”

“Having these traits merely reaches usage thresholds, not allowing easy or rapid application. Short-term, fast deployment isn’t feasible with optimal effect.”

“So…”

“Given the excessive demands and difficulties of Ancient Magic Domain, alongside unsatisfactory effects, it has been entirely supplanted, vanishing into history’s tides.”

“Hmm.”

Ye Mingqiu nodded, then closed his eyes to release the Blast Flame Domain, commenting, “The release speed is indeed slow. Even now, it takes me eight full minutes, making practical use hardly feasible, alas.”

On the other side, the Thunder Emperor’s eyes widened as if witnessing the unbelievable.

Wait!

You said how long to release?!
