Although the ground was still emitting scorching hot air, and the surroundings were full of blazing flames, people still looked at Chen Yun with curious eyes, eager to know the specific situation of the battle just then.

    Chen Yun did not answer everyone immediately, but pointed to the K.Ang body lying not far away and said, "I promised to leave a complete body. Now he has dispersed his qi by himself and has no vitality. Let's bury him in a suitable place first, and then find a stable place to discuss matters. It is good?"

    "This dog thief deserves to die!"

    "Humph, leaving him a complete body is indeed too good for him!"

    Long Nv SanJiu, Gao Chen and Ding Xu, etc., who were buried underground before, still showed their anger.

    Not to mention those nearly killed by Kang Yuan, even Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming, Zhang Ling, and other cultivators who were not as severely affected, their gaze towards Kang Yuan's body was filled with infinite scorn.

    Although these people are outsiders and cultivators, they are still humans with basic moral standards. Kang Yuan's previous excessive actions certainly deserve hatred.

    But even though everyone despised him, they still listened to Chen Yun's words.

    If in the past, people listened to Chen Yun because he was a true cultivator of the spiritual path, and later, he often used great methods to save everyone, leading to their gratitude and obedience.

    Then, when everyone compares Chen Yun and Kang Yuan, they can see how high his moral character is. Despite facing numerous crises, he not only did not abandon them but also repeatedly demonstrated thunderous abilities to share their lives and deaths, demonstrating deep feelings and great loyalty.

    Naturally, everyone respected Chen Yun and listened to his words.

    Several cultivators of lower power took Kang Yuan's body, along with them, to find a spot nearby where no flames were spurting. Then, they used their cultivation to blast out a hole and buried his body there.

    This is a plateau, although there is still a temperature of more than 50 degrees Celsius, it can be considered quite cool compared to other places.

    At this time, Kang Yuan had just been buried.

    Wu Kejiu couldn't wait and said eagerly, "Mr. Chen, what exactly happened just now?"

    Qin Ming followed up and said, "Yes, we have been watching from high above for a long time and have never seen how you suddenly defeated Kang Yuan this scoundrel. Can you tell us?"

    Long Nv SanJiu, Ding Xu and Zhang Ling all looked over.

    Chen Yun placed his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "Actually, I didn't exert much spiritual power to defeat him. It was just a combination of the Golden Light Spell and the thunder technique."

    Wu Kejiu was a bit confused: "The Golden Light Spell we understand, but we saw that you were rushing out endless and endless clear light from your body at that time. The ice ring treasure is so powerful, and the snow and ice have filled the entire world. When did you strike with your thunder technique to hit Kang Yuan this scoundrel?"

    Long Nv SanJiu was also puzzled, "Yes, we didn't see any lightning, when did you use it?"

    The remaining people were also very puzzled.

    Chen Yun carefully explained, "At that time, I infused true qi into the earth to block Kang Yuan's escape by using soil teleportation. After that, he drove his treasure and unleashed a terrifyingly powerful snow and ice attack. To be honest, with my current strength, I am not capable of resisting such overwhelming force of the treasure. The reason why I could prevent the explosion of the treasure's power and defeat Kang Yuan was that I first casted the Golden Light Spell's defensive force, which you saw as bright light. Of course, due to the terrifying power of the treasure exploding, even if I casted the Golden Light Spell, it would not be able to resist for long. At most for a moment or two. Therefore, while snow and ice were surging in front of me, I used thunder law to pierce through them and hit Kang Yuan. He was at that moment using the power of his treasure and had no defense. That's why my palm thunder power pierced into his five internal organs and instantly shattered his qi to nearly extinguish all life force."

    That indeed is the entire process.

    However, the crowd listened with some confusion.

    Wu Kejiu was somewhat stunned and said, "But we didn't see the thunder power explode the ice layer."

    Chen Yun corrected his statement, "It wasn't to explode the ice layer, but the thunder power pierced through the ice layer and transmitted to Kang Yuan's body."

    The crowd still looked confused, not understanding how thunder and lightning could penetrate through the ice layer.

    Normally, most thunder laws are used for bombardment and will definitely create great noise.

    Under the influence of habitual thinking, it made it difficult for everyone to understand the meaning of what he said.

    Chen Yun also noticed the confusion in everyone's hearts and explained with more simple language, "The power of thunder and lightning is not just used for hitting, it also has the ability to transmit..."

    "What does the conductivity mean, master?" Qin Ming asked eagerly with a questing look.

    According to the normal development of Earth's history, the concept of electrical conductivity was not discovered until 1720 by the English scientist Gray.

    Although this world is a cultivation world, there may be some profound and exclusive cultivators who specialize in thunder laws and have discovered electrical conductivity. However, Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming, and Long Nv SanJiu are outsiders who are not expert in thunder laws, so it is normal that they don't understand electrical conductivity.

    Chen Yun explained to them how electrical conductivity works.

    After listening, everyone suddenly understood and realized how Chen Yun had won the battle.

    Before, Kang Yuan used the Ice Ring Treasure to gather an endless amount of snow and ice, which provided Chen Yun with an opportunity for a silent Thunder Law attack. He first used the powerful protective force of the Golden Light Spell to slightly block the power of the treasure, and then he demonstrated the Palm Thunder Law, utilizing electrical conductivity to penetrate through the layers of snow and ice into Kang Yuan's body and shatter his qi at once.

    Wu Kejiu said with interest, "Mr. Chen, do you mean that snow and ice have electrical conductivity?"

    "Not at all," Chen Yun shook his head, "Pure snow and ice, as well as pure water, do not have electrical conductivity. That is to say, if someone were to use thunder law against you, you could resist it by using your cultivation techniques to gather pure water or snow and ice that are free from any impurities."

    Gao Chen was confused, "Since snow and ice don't have electrical conductivity, how did you manage to transmit the thunder and lightning power through them?"

    Chen Yun laughed and said, "I said earlier that pure snow and ice do not have electrical conductivity. But if there are impurities mixed in, they still possess electrical conductivity. You also know that the land in this area has been suffering from flame burning for a long time, so why can the land here still withstand such high temperatures? Because there are metals contained in the soil. When Kang Yuan drives his Ice Ring Treasure and releases an endless amount of snow and ice, he carries up countless pieces of soil with it. This way, the snow and ice no longer remain pure, containing many tiny metals which can be regarded as current conduction mediums."

    These are simple physical knowledge, in Chen Yun's previous world, basically anyone who has gone to school would understand them.

    Even though this is a cultivation world, the property of electricity having conductivity will not disappear because of that.

    However, this simple knowledge still felt like a wake-up call to everyone, as it was a field they had never been exposed to before.

    What is the practice of cultivation?

    Cultivation is the pursuit of self-perfection and the exploration of the mysteries of the universe!

    The knowledge that Chen Yun was explaining to everyone was equivalent to granting them the mysteries of the heavens and earth!

    At that moment, everyone was moved to admiration, looking at Chen Yun with reverence. Each of them secretly praised him as an authentic cultivator of the Taoist tradition, and indeed, his discovery of the secrets of the heavens and earth was something that ordinary people could hardly achieve.

    Yes, they have no idea that the knowledge Chen Yun explained is actually what he learned in physics.

    "Mr. Chen, a great talent indeed."

    "How can such profound secrets of thunder and lightning be known?"

    "I am becoming increasingly impressed by Mr. Chen's extensive knowledge."

    "Yes, in the past, when I fought with others, I only knew how to pressure them with strength, never thinking that one could use the advantage of knowledge as Mr. Chen does to crush others."

    Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming, and Long Nv SanJiu were moved.

    Actually, they also understood in their hearts that even if it's a knowledge-based domination, it still requires sufficient strength to support it.

    If Chen Yun was still just an average sorcerer, even if he utilized electrical conductivity to transmit the power of thunder and lightning through the ice layer, by the time it reached Kang Yuan's side, its power would likely be greatly reduced, making it unlikely to seal the victory.

    Everyone could imagine how powerful the Palm Thunder Law that Chen Yun had just demonstrated was. Without the ice layer to block it, if it had directly hit Kang Yuan's body, it probably would have blown him to pieces.

    This was all due to Chen Yun's advancement to the level of a superior sorcerer, with an extremely profound amount of magical power.

    Ultimately, it still comes down to having profound magical power.

    Chen Yun was simply adept at using clever maneuvers in battle.

    Under normal circumstances, treasures need to be activated by a person to display their power. Chen Yun used the thunder and lightning power of the Palm Thunder Law to penetrate through the ice layer, scatter Kang Yuan's qi, and even injure his internal organs, preventing him from using any magical power to control the treasure. This is why the surging snow and ice stopped.

    Everyone shivered at the thought of the terrifying power of the Ice Ring Treasure. They thought that if it hadn't been for Chen Yun's clever maneuver to transmit the power of thunder and lightning through it, Kang Yuan would have driven the Ice Ring Treasure relentlessly, not only slaying Chen Yun but also causing massive snow and ice to sweep down, potentially endangering their lives as well.

    Upon understanding the situation, everyone in their hearts could not help but admire Chen Yun even more for his ingenious tactics.

    These people guessed half of it right. If Chen Yun relied solely on his newly broken through power at the level of a superior sorcerer, he would not have been able to unleash the power to penetrate such a thick layer of ice. He also utilized the amplification effect of the Red Gold Sword to Cut Demons, greatly enhancing the potency of the magic he casted.

    The power of the treasure is too strong. Although Chen Yun won by taking a shortcut, deep down, he also deeply understood one thing: whether his own flesh and blood can withstand such a fierce cold air was unknown, but for sure, he could not resist the treasure with his own true qi.

    Even without considering himself, he had once fought against Mei Lin, who was on par with high-level sorcerers. Chen Yun felt that he couldn't possibly be a match for the Ice Ring Treasure.

    As for whether the leader could withstand it, he had never fought against the leader, so he didn't know how strong the leader was, and therefore couldn't make a judgment.

    At this moment, everyone still had a question they didn't understand.

    Wu Kejiu spoke on behalf of everyone, asking, "Mr. Chen, you said that you only used the Golden Light Spell and Thunder Law just now. Then how did the ice layer burst and spew out one column after another of mud and stone?"

    The others also hurriedly nodded, showing their keen curiosity about the matter.

    "Oh, that's none of my concern. I just took advantage of the terrain to break through the ice layer," Chen Yun pointed to the ground. "You all know that there is a Sun Tree root stem hidden deep in the earth's core that constantly emits hot flames. Although this Ice Ring Treasure is powerful, it seems to have not reached the level where it can ignore the Sun Tree. In fact, if I could withstand the first wave of power released by the Ice Ring Treasure just now, the hot flames emitted by the Sun Tree root stem would still be able to melt the ice. As for why there was an explosion and why materials were continuously sprayed out, it was mainly due to thermal expansion and contraction. However, explaining this may be troublesome, and I will explain it in detail when we have time later. For now, let's talk about other things."

    Everyone heard a new term they had never heard of - thermal expansion and contraction. Although Chen Yun said he wanted to talk about other things now, they dared not pursue the question and could only wonder in their hearts one by one.

    What exactly is thermal expansion and contraction? It sounds like something that should be easy to understand, but they weren't sure if it was the same as what they had guessed in their hearts, which is why they were curious.

    Wu Kejiu spoke on behalf of everyone, saying, "Mr. Chen, if you have anything you need to order, please feel free to do so. We will definitely follow your instructions."

    "Haha, it's not that serious," Chen Yun waved his hand and said with a smile, "What I want to say is the distribution of Kang Yuan's relics."

    Speaking, he picked up the Ice Ring Treasure, "I am not modest to refuse this treasure. There's no other reason; its power is too astonishing. I'm not too confident about keeping it with you guys."

    His words were very straightforward, but perhaps not very palatable to some.

    But everyone could understand, as the situation with Kang Yuan had already occurred. If this Ice Ring Treasure were to fall into the hands of someone with ill intentions, who can predict what kind of bad things might happen?

    Naturally, such a treasure must be in the hands of the strongest and most selfless person.

    Currently, the person with the strongest strength in the team is whom?

    If it were seven or eight days ago, it might have been Wu Kejiu.

    However, now, everyone undoubtedly knows that it is Chen Yun who is the strongest. Added to this is his previous actions, which all seem very selfless. That means it's quite natural for him to accept the Ice Ring Treasure.

    Even if some people showed envy, no one opposed.

    "Um, it's better for the treasure to be in Mr. Chen's hands."

    "If it were any other person, I would really not be at ease."

    No one in the group had any objections.

    Seeing that everyone had no objections, Chen Yun placed the Ice Ring Treasure on his wrist, then he took out the copper money-shaped magical artifact made of gold. "This is the magical artifact Kang Yuan used to store items. Inside, besides about a hundred spiritual grasses that should have been for all of you, there should also be many magical artifacts, spiritual roots from heaven and earth, and other things. What exactly is inside has not been checked by me yet, so I don't know for sure. We need to take everything out to find out what we have. Of course, I could have kept it all to myself and not told you guys anything, but we are a team, an entity. I hope that over the next few months we won't see another incident like Kang Yuan's. Therefore, I bring out this golden coin-shaped artifact and am willing to share its contents equally with everyone here."

    You could have kept it all to yourself!

    Everyone was not at all suspicious of this, and without Chen Yun's disclosure, they would never have known.

    And now, Chen Yun is actually willing to take out the items and distribute them equally?

    Such a high-quality character is truly admirable!

    In other words, Chen Yun has sacrificed too much for the cohesion of the team.

    At this moment, everyone's gaze towards Chen Yun was not only full of admiration, but also filled with touched emotion.

    Whether it's Wu Kejiu and Qin Ming, two upper-level sorcerers, or Long Nv SanJiu, Ding Xu, and Zhang Ling, a crowd of middle-level sorcerers, in this moment, they were all deeply impressed by Chen Yun's powerful personality charm!
