The first-grade high-level Thunder Sound Technique was originally a low-level spell, but under the enhancement of the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed, it was elevated to the Celestial Spirit Position level.
As the sound traveled for miles, numerous anomalies manifested throughout the vast mountain range.
In the dense mountains and misty peaks, countless low-level spiritual beasts and wild mountain beasts seemed struck by lightning, prostrating themselves on the ground, trembling in the face of this Heavenly Thunder Sound.
In the spirit land, each spirit wood appeared to be bathed in spring thunder, and the trees, yellow and withered in winter, began to sprout new buds, with vibrant life force emerging upon the earth.
As these phenomena manifested, the numerous Golden Core trial takers within the mountain range also heard the sound of that thunder.
Some were shaken to their core, some became furious, while others showed disdain...
"Sound traveling for miles, could it be another Golden Core who has mastered Earth Evil Divine Techniques?"
"To provoke thunder with Thunder Sound, indeed the cultivation is quite extraordinary, but attempting to claim a true successor position merely with this means is pure folly!"
"Though the Golden Core Realm births the lifebound divine techniques, they are only budding and not yet fully formed. Each use is a significant drain on a Golden Core cultivator.
Yet to squander divine power this way at the very start of a true successor trial—utterly foolish!"
"This voice seems somewhat familiar."
Some intend to challenge the arrogant Lu Yan, some are aware a great battle is brewing and hope to benefit without effort, while others prepare to gather intel from afar.
Regardless of the various intentions of the Golden Core cultivators participating in the trial, they ultimately decided to head toward Lu Yan's direction.
Standing atop the peak, Lu Yan's Thunder Sound Technique had long dissipated with the cessation of Celestial Spirit enhancement, and the dense dark clouds above had dispersed.
Yet at Lu Yan's fingertips, there hovered faint lines of cause and effect, from which the enhancement of the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed emanated.
The name of this technique: Great Evil Sensing Skill!
This technique was not present in the Xianxia version, but was derived from Lu Yan's adaptation of the sixth ranked in the Heaven and Earth True Technique List from the demon version, the Great Evil Sensing Chapter.
The Great Evil Sensing Chapter belonged solely to the demon version's Path of Heaven and Earth, with its True Intent of the Great Dao suppressed within the Profound Vagina Door. By rights, Lu Yan could not utilize it in the Xianxia version.
But Lu Yan did not need to completely replicate the True Intent of the Great Dao in the Great Evil Sensing Chapter. He only needed to create a low-level spell involving cause and effect, modeled after the Great Evil Sensing Chapter, and then enhance it with the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed.

At the moment of divine enhancement, this simplistic spell, not even qualifying as a low-grade first-tier spell, completely replicated the former True Intent of the Great Evil Dao, even faintly surpassing it.
The Great Evil Dao replicated by the Great Evil Sensing Chapter traces back to the twisted cause and effect Dao. The principle of the Great Evil Sensing Chapter is to reap evil fruits from evil seeds, and the Great Evil Sensing Skill functions likewise.
Lu Yan had previously spread the Thunder Sound for miles, creating great momentum that only stirred vigilance among most Golden Core cultivators, with few willing to come forth.
But the Thunder Sound Technique was merely a ruse; regardless of the attitude of these Golden Core cultivators towards Lu Yan, upon hearing the thunder, a direct causal link was established between them and Lu Yan.
Lu Yan's true aim was to sow a cause through Thunder Sound, then use the Great Evil Sensing Skill, enhanced by the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed, to propel this cause, luring everyone into his trap until they stood before him.
Lu Yan sowed the evil seed by provoking all Golden Core cultivators with the Thunder Sound Technique, and when these cultivators arrived here to confront Lu Yan, they bore the evil fruit, thus establishing the Great Evil Sensing Skill.
There are very few methods in the Golden Core Realm related to cause and effect, and Lu Yan's Great Evil Sensing Skill, with its Celestial Spirit Position level, had already subtly anchored the cause and effect.
This seemingly reckless action, without consideration, had in fact calculated everyone's moves.
In just half an hour, Lu Yan's gaze flicked toward a cloud several miles away.
The cloud moved with the vast sea of clouds, appearing ordinary, but as Lu Yan's powerful divine sense swept over it, he could clearly discern the mid-Golden Core aura hidden within.
Without hesitation, a flame of Merit Profound Yellow Fire rose from Lu Yan's hand, flicking toward that cloud amid the sea of clouds.
In an instant, the blazing Profound Yellow Merit Fire devoured the cloud, transforming into a large fiery sun illuminating the sky.
A mid-Golden Core cultivator, charred all over with their magic robe burned and hand treasure shattered, attempted to break free from the flames.
A single true word, and Lu Yan's power of the divine soul, far surpassing his peers, crashed down like a mountain. The mid-Golden Core cultivator's movements immediately froze, then they were consumed once more by the vast Profound Yellow Merit Fire.
In the next moment, a star fell from the sky, seemingly transforming into a black piece as it descended, with the mid-Golden Core cultivator turning into a stream of light, transported back above the sky.
Within the giant Immortal Island, the True Monarchs of the major and minor branches were exchanging pleasantries, with those of the main branches, holding late-Golden Core champions, looking pleased, while the other minor branches appeared anxious.
From the Supreme Profound Lineage, a full four Nascent Soul True Monarchs had gathered here.
Among the thirteen main branches, the Supreme Profound Lineage was not the strongest, but it certainly was the largest, with a scale comparable to some major minor branches.
Qin Zhongzheng, previously lectured by Mu Chunqiu, wore a dark face, discreetly avoiding looking in Mu Chunqiu's direction.
The other three Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Supreme Profound Lineage, seeing this, could not help but whisper among themselves:
"This Mu Chunqiu is too arrogant. Even before breaking through to Divinity Transformation, he humiliates our Supreme Profound Lineage . Once he truly breaks through, won't he directly attack our Supreme Profound Mountain?"
