Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record
#681 - Chapter 680 Dilemma
Zhang Yuanjing naturally didn't know how much or how little other sects recorded about Thunder Pools, but in the Xuantian Sect, the relevant classics could be classified separately.
According to legend, the Xuantian Founder chose Tianque Mountain as the foundation for establishing the sect because he valued the natural Thunder Pool there, which was very beneficial for cultivating thunder techniques. However, after more than ten thousand years, the world had changed, and the seas had turned into mulberry fields. The thunder and lightning that once rained down had gradually turned into gentle breezes and bright moons, a scene of peace and harmony. In the tens of thousands of miles of mountains, there was no longer any area where heavenly thunder frequently struck.
In the past ten thousand years, the Xuantian Sect's most promising cultivators had traveled abroad, seeking places where lightning struck in dangerous and remote areas, attempting to use lightning to cultivate their techniques, and ultimately achieving success. However, no one knows how many talented and brilliant individuals quietly perished, their corpses not even remaining, completely forgotten by later generations as the years passed.
In the books Zhang Yuanjing had seen, there were not many places with confirmed Thunder Pools, but there were many suspected locations, naturally including the Thunder Prison Mountains in the south and the Hengduan Mountains in the north.
However, in these two places, the first had a vast area covered by thunder and lightning, which was extremely dangerous. No Xuantian Sect cultivator had yet determined whether a Thunder Pool existed. Zhang Yuanjing only passed through the outer areas and did not dare to venture into the areas ravaged by thunder and lightning. The second had a large number of妖兽. Slightly more magical places were under the surveillance of great demons. This was the case with Wind Thunder Gorge. If the demon race hadn't besieged the city on a large scale, Zhang Yuanjing might not have had the opportunity to enter this place.
"Master, on the other side of the Thunder Pool, there is a spiritual object with a very strong aura!" Zhang San suddenly said.
"How strong?" Zhang Yuanjing immediately perked up. The reason he was so eager to enter this place was to find a high-level spiritual object!
"Very strong, I feel like it's at the limit of the Nascent Soul stage!" Zhang San said somewhat uncertainly. As an innate spiritual treasure, its level was comparable to the late Nascent Soul stage, or even the Great Perfection stage. It could almost judge spiritual objects of the same realm. If this spiritual object was so strong that it couldn't even be sure, then it was very likely beyond the Nascent Soul stage.
Peak of the seventh grade of Xuan rank!
Zhang Yuanjing strained his eyes, trying to see through the densely packed black pool of thunder and lightning to see the situation on the other side, but it was undoubtedly in vain. Although this Thunder Pool was only a few hundred feet in size, the aura was mixed, and the Yuan power clashed with each other. With his realm and strength, he was simply unable to penetrate it.
His heart was pounding. A spiritual plant that was very likely breaking through to the earth rank, and very likely a Yin Thunder Fruit that was very suitable for cultivators to consume, was simply a rare treasure. If those Real people and Great Demons knew about it, wouldn't they fight until the mountains collapsed and corpses littered the fields.
However, what puzzled him was that the two Burning Sun Mountain Real people must have been able to discover the existence of such a spiritual object. Why would they abandon it and go to the Red Earth Ridge instead?
"Zhang San, can you cross this Thunder Pool?" Zhang Yuanjing's heart stirred, and he sent a divine thought to ask Zhang San.
"Master, Zhang San has not yet undergone the thunder tribulation to advance to a magical treasure, so I definitely dare not cross this Thunder Pool!" Zhang San said timidly.
He immediately had a guess that the two Real people were probably not confident, so they went to the Red Earth Ridge to check first. If there was also a seventh-grade spiritual object there, they would guard that one. If not, they would probably still come here.
Only in this way could these two people dare to leave with peace of mind, not fearing that the Great Demons guarding outside the valley would take the spiritual object away.
At this moment, he suddenly thought that if those two Great Demons were freed from the two Nascent Souls and came back to their senses, they would probably enter this Thunder Valley to explore. Or perhaps, they had already entered the valley.
His aura stagnated, and he slowly turned around, looking towards the sky behind him. He saw that thousands of miles away, there was a very dense area of thunderclouds, and the frequency of lightning strikes was also higher than other places. Sure enough, they were coming, and the number of妖兽 entering the valley was not small.
He subconsciously looked at the mountain walls on both sides. The rocks were stacked, and although there were gaps, they were very narrow, and they contained the accumulated thunder power of who knows how many years. Trying to travel through with earth遁术 was tantamount to a fool's dream.
The Thunder Pool stretched across the front, the stone walls on all sides were like a prison, the lightning flashed like snakes, and the only gap was to take advantage of the opportunity to break through the thunderclouds and escape straight into the sky. But the probability of success was not higher than breaking through the obstruction of two transformed Great Demons.
He looked around blankly, unable to think of a way to save his life. This kind of predicament was the first time since he formed his Core.
His gaze moved aimlessly between the thunderclouds, the cliffs, and the Thunder Pool, finally stopping on the Thunder Pool, unmoving.
There was another way to escape, which was to cross the Thunder Pool and go to the canyon on the other side.
Although even Zhang San was afraid of this Thunder Pool, and the two Real people from Burning Sun Mountain retreated in the face of difficulty, the Xuantian Sect did have some unique tricks for dealing with Thunder Pools.
The Thunder Pool was hundreds of feet wide, but the real core area was only about ten feet. That was the real pool of thunder power. Anyone who dared to break in rashly, no matter how powerful their cultivation was, would have their corpses reduced to ashes.
However, the periphery of the Thunder Pool was not so terrifying, but only the disordered flow and conflict of thunder power.
Since he could avoid lightning, he had the possibility of passing through the periphery of the Thunder Pool. The only difference was whether he could withstand the frequent impact of thunder power.
In the secret records of the Xuantian Sect, there were three ways to cross the outer area of the Thunder Pool. The first was to have enough lightning-避雷木 to build a lightning-避雷舟 or lightning-避雷甲. This method was purely for crossing the outer area of the Thunder Pool and was never taken seriously by the Xuantian Sect cultivators, because the purpose of the Xuantian Sect cultivators was to get close to the core area of the Thunder Pool and引其 the essence of thunder power to cultivate their techniques. The second was to blend into it, that is, to imitate various thunder powers through thunder techniques to form a compatible momentum. The third was to control thunder with thunder to form a counteracting momentum.
Due to the nature of their techniques, the Xuantian Sect had some who容雷 and some who 抵雷, but regardless of which one, they needed to cultivate the thunder technique to a very high level, and their mana needed to be deep enough.
Zhang Yuanjing did not understand thunder techniques, but he had the煞雷竹, which could barely be used with the third method. Of course, he also needed to borrow some secrets from the Xuantian Sect's techniques. However, whether it would succeed would only be known after using it.
Zhang Yuanjing looked back and saw that the place where lightning frequently struck was still three or four hundred miles away from him, so he dropped the cauldron on the ground, held the煞雷竹 in his hand, and used a thunder control technique called "Point 引".
This technique was a basic technique that late-stage Core Formation cultivators of the Xuantian Sect needed to master when they first learned thunder techniques. The key to it was nothing more than to勾动 a small amount of thunder power from the side when thunder frequently struck, and introduce it into the body for cultivation.
When this technique was used, it was not necessary to be proficient in thunder techniques, so Zhang Yuanjing could use it.
After waiting for a dozen breaths, a bolt of lightning flashed out from the dark thunderclouds and struck towards Zhang Yuanjing's head.
Zhang Yuanjing moved sideways a few steps, moved to the other side of the cauldron, the thunder in the sky was attracted and struck the cauldron directly. He took the opportunity to stretch out his palm and strike out a劲道, this劲道 did not directly hit the lightning, but brushed past the side, forming several vortices, several thunder powers were attracted, jumped out of the lightning, and destroyed all the vortices, but the thunder power that jumped out was not completely annihilated, nor did it return to the lightning, but fell smoothly.
He pointed a magic formula at the煞雷竹, driving it to suck in those few thunder powers, but it successfully introduced one of them, and the others fell to his side, almost hitting him.
However, he didn't care at all, but let out a sigh of relief, revealing a joyful smile.
