Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune: Starting from the Blind Prince

“Greetings, Your Highness.”

In the main hall, Helian Hai leaned on his crutch and bowed.

“Aunt Lan, prepare tea for Elder He.”

“Tea is unnecessary; this old man isn’t accustomed to it.”

“Bring a pot of Bamboo Leaf Green.”

Zhou Hao Chen's lips twitched slightly; truly a seasoned drunkard.

Instructing a servant to prepare a pot of Bamboo Leaf Green, Zhou Hao Chen smiled lightly after Helian Hai sat down and asked.

“Elder He, you’ve finally come to a decision.”

“Your Highness, let’s not mince words. Last night, the one who awakened the Five Thunder Spiritual Body was you, wasn’t it?”

Zhou Hao Chen nodded, asking with some curiosity.

“Indeed, it was I.”

“How could you be certain that it was I who awakened the Five Thunder Spiritual Body, Elder He?”

“Hahahaha—”

“When it comes to understanding the Five Thunder Spiritual Body, no one understands it better than my Five Thunder Sect. Even the Divine Firmament Sect is far inferior.”

“Wasn’t the Five Thunder Sect destroyed? Elder He, you…”

“To be frank, Your Highness, this old man is merely a wandering ghost who has lost his sect.”

“The Five Thunder Sect ceased to exist sixteen years ago. This old man was fortunate enough to be away from the mountain gate, thus escaping the calamity.”

“These years, I’ve been living aimlessly, only wanting to live out the rest of my days. But last night, Your Highness, your awakening of the Five Thunder Spiritual Body stirred my heart.”

“This old man earnestly requests that Your Highness can promote and carry forward the cultivation methods of my Five Thunder Sect.”

Helian Hai spoke to Zhou Hao Chen in a pleading tone.

Little did he know that his words were like a pillow sent to someone who was dozing off for Zhou Hao Chen.

After deciding to cultivate both martial and Daoist arts, Zhou Hao Chen didn't lack martial arts techniques, but he lacked top-tier Daoist thunder techniques.

The Five Thunder Sect was once a Daoist holy land, its thunder techniques comparable to those of the Divine Firmament Sect.

More importantly, the Five Thunder Sect specialized in Five Elements Thunder techniques. In terms of compatibility, the Five Thunder Sect's techniques were even more suitable for Zhou Hao Chen than those of the Divine Firmament Sect.

“Rest assured, Elder He, the Five Thunder Sect’s inheritance will surely shine brightly in my hands. In the future, even rebuilding the Five Thunder Sect is not impossible.”

Zhou Hao Chen began to draw a big pie for Helian Hai.

Whether the Five Thunder Sect could be rebuilt was another matter, but the pie had to be drawn to give Helian Hai hope.

However, Helian Hai's reaction was beyond Zhou Hao Chen's expectations.

“Your Highness, there's no need to rebuild the Five Thunder Sect.”

“Why is that?” Zhou Hao Chen asked, a look of confusion in his eyes.

“Sixteen years ago, after the Five Thunder Sect was destroyed, this old man returned to the mountain gate as quickly as possible, but I was still one step late.”

“The Five Thunder Sect’s treasure had vanished without a trace.”

“Without the treasure, how can the Five Thunder Sect’s fortune be suppressed?”

“Every holy land uses its treasure to suppress its fortune. Even when there is a shortage of talent, they can rely on the treasure to endure, act discreetly, and wait for a prodigy to appear.”

“The Five Thunder Sect is a Daoist holy land. Rather than rebuilding a grotesque Five Thunder Sect, it would be better to let the Five Thunder Sect disappear completely into history.”

When Helian Hai mentioned the Five Thunder Sect, his words were filled with pride.

“Could the Five Thunder Sect’s treasure be the Thunder God Seal?” Zhou Hao Chen asked.

He remembered that the divination clearly stated that the Thunder God Seal was the Five Thunder Sect's treasure.

Helian Hai nodded, a hint of regret on his face.

“Indeed!”

“The Thunder God Seal is our sect’s supreme treasure, and the foundation of our sect’s techniques comes from the Thunder God Seal as well.”

“Thirty thousand years ago, our sect’s founding ancestor obtained the Thunder God Seal in a Thunder Swamp.”

“The ancestor spent thirty years comprehending the Thunder God Seal, finally obtaining two inheritances from it.”

“One is the Five Thunder Sect’s fundamental technique, the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart True Scripture. The successive sect leaders, elders, and core disciples of our sect have all cultivated this divine art.”

“Even our sect’s other cultivation techniques are derived from the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart True Scripture.”

“As for the second inheritance, it is a mythical masterpiece, the Five Thunder Righteous Method.”

“The Five Thunder Righteous Method refines the Qi of the Five Elements, merging it into thunder, transforming it into Five Elements Heavenly Thunder, which wards off evil and repels demons.”

“In terms of power, our sect’s Five Thunder Righteous Method is even above the Divine Firmament Sect’s Divine Firmament Thunder Method.”

Zhou Hao Chen smiled noncommittally.

Helian Hai was quite easygoing in most matters, but when it came to the Five Thunder Sect, he was incredibly proud.

Especially when comparing it to the Divine Firmament Sect, it always came down to one thing: they couldn't lose to the Divine Firmament Sect.

“How many inheritances did the Five Thunder Sect obtain from the Thunder God Seal?” Zhou Hao Chen asked, feeling somewhat curious.

“A total of eight.”

“In the Five Thunder Sect’s thirty thousand-year history, besides the founding ancestor, there have been six prodigies who obtained inheritances from the Thunder God Seal.”

“The inheritances in the Thunder God Seal are all-encompassing, including cultivation techniques, divine abilities, weapon refinement techniques, and alchemy methods…”

“These eight inheritances from the Thunder God Seal, when combined, are known as the Five Thunder Sect’s Eight Arts.”

Speaking of the Five Thunder Sect’s Eight Arts, the corners of Helian Hai’s mouth turned up slightly, more difficult to suppress than an AK.

Zhou Hao Chen thought to himself.

Counting the method for awakening the Five Thunder Spiritual Body that I obtained from the Thunder God Seal, that makes nine arts.

However, since the Five Thunder Sect’s founding ancestor was able to obtain two inheritances from the Thunder God Seal.

This means that I may be able to obtain even more inheritances from the Thunder God Seal.

Zhou Hao Chen was moved.

“Your Highness, this is our sect’s fundamental technique, the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart True Scripture, and the Five Thunder Righteous Method. This old man will formally impart them to you today.”

“I hope that Your Highness will not disgrace our sect’s prestige, especially in front of the Divine Firmament Sect. You must fiercely crush the arrogant arrogance of the Divine Firmament Sect.”

Zhou Hao Chen rolled his eyes, wondering how the Divine Firmament Sect had offended Helian Hai to make him mention the Divine Firmament Sect every three sentences.

Qin Qiu Lan accepted the two inheritances and handed them to Zhou Hao Chen.

Zhou Hao Chen touched them and was immediately stunned.

The surface of the secret manuals was uneven, with densely packed fine dots.

These two inheritances were actually written in Braille!

Zhou Hao Chen didn't know what to complain about.

Should he complain that Helian Hai was too considerate?

“Your Highness, after I lost my sight, I didn’t want our sect’s techniques to be lost, so I wrote these two fundamental techniques in Braille.”

Helian Hai explained, but his explanation was superfluous.

You lost your sight, and that has something to do with recording the techniques in Braille?

Unless you were planning to teach these two techniques to blind people when you wrote them, so you wrote them in Braille.

These Braille secret manuals were written specifically for him.

Zhou Hao Chen didn't point this out; they both knew it.

Helian Hai was probably wanting to hand over the Five Thunder Sect's inheritance to him long ago.

But was he so certain that he had talent in Daoist thunder techniques?

A hint of suspicion arose in Zhou Hao Chen's heart.

However, this hint of suspicion was quickly suppressed by Zhou Hao Chen.

Zhou Hao Chen had another headache.

Braille secret manuals were naturally very friendly to blind people.

But… but…

He, this blind person, was not a proper one!

It was not as good as ordinary secret manuals; he could have Qin Qiu Lan read them to him.

When there was no one around, he could secretly look at them.

Holding the Braille secret manuals, Zhou Hao Chen only felt a tingling scalp.

If this wasn't the world's top thunder technique inheritance, Zhou Hao Chen wouldn't want to suffer this grievance.
