The Primodial Ancestral Thunder, ranked fourth on the Thunder Soul Ranking, is a powerful entity.

According to legend, it was born at the beginning of creation, absorbing a trace of primordial energy from the heavens and earth to take shape. With this essence, the Primodial Ancestral Thunder rightfully claims its place as the fourth-ranked Thunder Soul.

Unlike other types of Thunder Souls, the Primodial Ancestral Thunder belongs to the amplification category among the twelve Thunder Souls. It grants its wielder the power to control savage lightning while significantly enhancing their physical body.

Back in Mo Yu's previous life, the Primodial Ancestral Thunder allowed him to rely solely on his physical strength to fight against the Mammoth Demon God, the top dominator of the Beast Domain. 

The Demon God, known for having a deity-like body, was not only evenly matched but was slightly overpowered by Mo Yu. This feat showcased the terrifying physical reinforcement capabilities of the Primodial Ancestral Thunder.

Thus, upon learning that Zi Huo could cultivate his physical strength to improve his power, Mo Yu considered entrusting him with the Primodial Ancestral Thunder.

After its recent evolution, Zi Huo's body contained the bloodline of the Abyssal Lion Clan, one of the three great clans of the magical beast race. Although the clan had declined, its potential remained vast. Mo Yu knew that after heading to Central Plains, he wouldn't be able to act alone, so he decided to temporarily give Zi Huo the Primodial Ancestral Thunder to aid his growth.

Not only did the Primodial Ancestral Thunder perfectly match Zi Huo, who had transformed into human form, but Zi Huo's growth would, in turn, promote the thunder's development. Their synergy would bring great benefits to Mo Yu.

Zi Huo's bronze-colored hand took the source of the thunder from Mo Yu. The thunder emitted an ancient, wild aura, and the scarlet-black pupils of Zi Huo shone with intense heat. He could feel his blood surging and trembling, resonating with the power of the thunder.

As a magical beast in human form, Zi Huo felt a natural intimacy toward the savage and primal aura of the Primodial Ancestral Thunder before him.

"Boss, what is this?"

Holding the mysterious yellow thunder source in his hand, Zi Huo scratched his head with his other hand, his curiosity evident as he looked at Mo Yu.

"This is called the Primodial Ancestral Thunder," Mo Yu said with a smile. "It's one of the Thunder Souls, like the others I possess. However, its main power lies in enhancing physical strength, making it particularly suitable for you.

"At the moment, the Primodial Ancestral Thunder is still weak, so you'll need to absorb strong blood and flesh to help it grow. As it strengthens, your physical power will improve alongside it.

"Once I leave for Central Plains, you must not slack off. The enemies there are extremely powerful, and I'll need you to take charge. After all, you'll always be my number one general!"

Hearing Mo Yu's solemn words, Zi Huo's rugged face showed a serious expression. With a resounding crash, his towering figure knelt on one knee before Mo Yu, his voice booming like thunder.

"Boss, Zi Huo will always be ready for your call. I'll charge through fire and water without hesitation!"

The clear sunlight poured into the stone pavilion, casting light onto Mo Yu's face. Watching Zi Huo kneeling before him, the young man patted his broad shoulder, a smile curving his lips. "Good. I trust you!"

With Zi Huo's matters resolved, the countdown to Mo Yu's departure began.

To make it up to Xiao Yu, Mo Yu spent his remaining days in the Black-Corner Region with his fiancée. Xiao Yu, understanding his ambitions, didn't complain. She knew the Black-Corner Region was too small for someone like Mo Yu, whose talents deserved a wider stage.

She once brought up her desire to accompany him to Central Plains, but Mo Yu gently declined. Central Plains was filled with dangers lurking at every turn. Unlike Xiao Yixian, Xiao Yu lacked the strength to protect herself. Even with all his trump cards, Mo Yu couldn't guarantee her safety.

Though his response was expected, Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment. Mo Yu could only comfort her by gently stroking her head.

Gradually, under his reassurance, Xiao Yu let go of her sadness. Then, as if struck by a thought, a shy yet determined light flickered in her eyes, her cheeks tinged with a delicate blush.

Late at night, under a radiant moon.

Xiao Yu entered Mo Yu's room, capturing his attention with her striking appearance. She had shed her usual elder's robe for a red palace gown that accentuated her graceful figure. Her long, slender legs peeked out from beneath the fabric, exuding an allure unmatched even by the enchanting Qing Lin.

"You leave tomorrow. Let me stay with you tonight…"

Xiao Yu's voice trembled as she stepped closer, her gaze fixed on Mo Yu's handsome face. A rosy hue spread across her fair cheeks, her voice quivering with both shyness and determination.

Amused, Mo Yu raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Why do I get the feeling you're up to no good? Are you perhaps... captivated by my charm?"

Startled by his teasing, Xiao Yu's blush deepened, her ears turning red. She stomped her foot lightly, her tone filled with both embarrassment and frustration. "Hmph! If you're going to mock me, then I'll leave!"

As she turned to go, Mo Yu reached out, wrapping an arm around her slender waist. His gaze softened, his tone soothing. "Don't be petty, Yu'er. I was just joking."

Feeling the warmth of his embrace, Xiao Yu relaxed. Her heart swayed as she sensed the sincerity in his voice. But as Mo Yu's hand tightened slightly around her waist, a wave of heat spread through her body. Her breath quickened, her gaze becoming misty as she murmured softly.

"Mo Yu, I'm yours..."

Her words ignited a blazing fire in Mo Yu's heart. The night turned unforgettable.

The next morning, the warm sunlight bathed Mo City's gates, where a dense crowd had gathered to send him off.

On a small hill outside the city gates, dozens of figures stood in straight lines.

"Grand Elder, Cousin Xiao Li, there's no need to see me off any further," Mo Yu said with a warm smile as he looked at Su Qian, Xiao Li, and the others.

Su Qian sighed with a trace of reluctance. "Ah, this old man has witnessed so many farewells. I hope that when we meet again, your name will resound across the continent."

Mo Yu responded with a confident smile. " Grand Elder, you have my word—I won't disappoint you."

As his voice trailed off, Mo Yu turned his gaze to Xiao Yu.

Because of the previous night, Xiao Yu's eyes avoided his, her expression shy. Yet, deep in her gaze, a trace of concern for him could still be seen.

Mo Yu sighed lightly and turned to Su Qian. "Grand Elder, I entrust Yu'er to your care while she's at Jia Nan Academy."

Hearing this, Su Qian was momentarily stunned. He glanced at Xiao Yu, noting her changes, and raised an eyebrow. A knowing smile spread across his face as he replied, "Hehe, rest assured. Xiao Yu is one of the outstanding elders of our Inner Academy. I won't let her face any danger."

Hearing Su Qian's reassurance, Mo Yu nodded with relief. He exchanged a glance with Xiao Yixian before spreading his silver wings and ascending rapidly into the sky. Xiao Yixian, stepping into the air as if walking on solid ground, closely followed beside him.

With the strength of the two, there was no need for any flying magical beasts; such mounts would only slow them down.

"Manor Lord, safe travels!"

As Mo Yu and Xiao Yixian ascended higher, a loud, resonant shout rang out from the city gates below. Mo Yu turned his head slightly to see many members of Yuan Manor, their faces flushed with emotion, shouting at the top of their lungs.

Mo Yu smiled faintly and called out, "Don't worry, see you all in Central Plains!" His hearty laughter echoed down as the pair disappeared into the sky, becoming two small black dots before vanishing entirely. The lingering sound of his words left many below with a surge of excitement.

Their Manor Lord was actually planning to lead them to the Central Plains. Such grand ambition filled their hearts with awe and pride. To follow such a formidable leader—what incredible fortune.

Su Qian slowly withdrew his gaze and turned to Xiao Li beside him. With a smile, he said, "Don't worry. With that young fellow's personality and background, he'll do just fine in the Central Plains."

Xiao Li chuckled, pride evident in his voice. "Even though Mo Yu has an extraordinary lineage, he's still the pride of our Xiao Clan."

"I believe he will also become a source of pride for Jia Nan Academy." Su Qian laughed heartily, bid farewell to Xiao Li, and then stepped into the air, heading toward Jia Nan Academy.

Far above the earth, two figures flew toward the distant horizon, their powerful auras causing magical beasts below to flee in panic.

As they traveled, Mo Yu reflected on the memories from the original storyline and the intelligence gathered by Yuan Manor.

"To reach the Central Plains, we first need to arrive at a city called Horizon City. There, we can use a spatial wormhole to travel to the Central Plains."

"Spatial wormhole?" The unfamiliar term made Xiao Yixian blink in surprise.

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Mo Yu smiled lightly. "Spatial wormholes are unique to the Central Plains. They are created by Dou Zun experts who connect two spatial points using their mastery of spatial power.

"The distance between the Black-Corner Region and the Central Plains is so vast that even a Dou Zong expert would need at least half a year to traverse it. But with a spatial wormhole, it takes only a month.

"However, building a spatial wormhole is incredibly challenging and requires constant maintenance. Even the maintenance personnel must be at least at the Dou Zong level. As a result, spatial wormholes are rarely found outside the Central Plains."

Hearing this, Xiao Yixian, who had never been to the Central Plains, couldn't help but look astonished. Maintenance personnel at the Dou Zong level—such a concept was beyond her imagination.

However, seeing Mo Yu's calm and composed demeanor beside her, the slight nervousness in her heart faded. It seemed that as long as she was with him, she felt an inexplicable sense of security.

Horizon City was located within the Tianqing Mountain Range, ten thousand miles away from the Black-Corner Region. As the only city within a thousand miles possessing a spatial wormhole to the Central Plains, Horizon City's prosperity was unmatched in the surrounding area.

At Mo Yu and Xiao Yixian's speed, it would still take several days to reach Horizon City from the Black-Corner Region. During this time, Mo Yu often engaged in conversations with Xiao Yixian, giving her a deeper understanding of the Central Plains.

The Central Plains was an immensely vast continent. Within it, many major cities were equipped with spatial wormholes constructed by Dou Zun experts to facilitate travel. Due to their unique function, these spatial wormholes generated tremendous profits.

In the Central Plains, every spatial wormhole attracted countless envious eyes. However, only powerful clans or sects could control them, while others could only covet them from afar.

Most Clans capable of owning spatial wormholes were renowned first-class powers, though some inherited their privileges from ancestors.

After listening to Mo Yu's explanation, Xiao Yixian couldn't help but exclaim, "The Central Plains truly differs from other regions. Spatial wormholes are unheard of in the Black-Corner Region.

"Connecting two distant spatial points requires extremely precise control of spatial power. It seems that apart from Dou Zun experts, few could achieve such a feat."

Mo Yu nodded but felt a faint sense of pride in his heart. With the Flash Void Breaking Thunder in his possession, he could connect two spatial points even without being a Dou Zun expert. However, at his current Dou Huang level, he still needed to reach the Dou Zong realm to connect two distant spatial points.

"What are the strongest forces in the Central Plains?" Xiao Yixian asked, noticing Mo Yu's familiarity with the region.

Mo Yu pondered for a moment before replying, "Let's focus on the human forces for now. As for magical beast clans and other races, we'll discuss them later. In the Central Plains, the prominent human factions are often summarized as: one hall, one tower; two sects, three valleys; and four pavilions."

"One hall, one tower; two sects, three valleys; and four pavilions?" Xiao Yixian repeated softly, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.

"You mentioned earlier that our target this time, the one with the Woeful Poison Body, holds a significant status in the Central Plains. Are they part of this grouping?"

Mo Yu paused briefly before nodding, his expression turning serious. "Yes, the target is the Chief of one of the three valleys—Ice River Valley."
