Chapter Nineteenth: Thunderclap Converts into Electricity

  "Young master, they have entered the Lianyun Mountains." Meng Shan said to Du Han beside him, but when he mentioned the Lianyun Mountains, he obviously paused for a moment, as if thinking of something that filled him with dread.

  "It's actually the Lianyun Mountain Range." Du Han was slightly stunned, looking at the entrance which seemed to be crouching like a huge ferocious beast in the darkness. Various thoughts flashed through his mind before he finally said fiercely: "Let's go in."

  "Master, the Lianyun Mountains are too dangerous. These two seriously injured kids won't survive going in there. I reckon they'll be dead by tomorrow and their bodies will be left to rot in the wilderness. We don't need to take such a huge risk." Meng Shan advised, not because he was cowardly, but because the Lianyun Mountains were truly notorious.

  The Lianyun Mountains are the most perilous place within the Great Li Dynasty, and its notorious reputation is also quite loud in the cultivation world. Not to mention some powerful ferocious beasts inside, even some naturally formed special places have great danger. For example, some naturally formed maze arrays, ferocious lands, or even deadlands. If you add some terrifying ferocious beasts that have been cultivating for who knows how many years, it's simply a place that devours lives. Generally, only some sufficiently powerful cultivators or those crazy people who don't care about their lives would come to the Lianyun Mountains.

  Although extremely perilous, the Lianyun Mountain Range is also like a gigantic treasure trove. Due to its long history and scarce human presence, it contains a vast amount of spiritual medicine, spiritual fruits, as well as some powerful cultivators' abandoned caves. There are even rumors that some extremely heaven-defying, spiritually intelligent heavenly medicines have been produced here. In short, as long as one can survive, this place is a paradise for cultivators.

  Death is like smoke dispersing in the air; life is like a bird soaring into the sky. Therefore, there are still some desperate adventurers who, for the sake of great gain, risk their lives and enter it.

  Du Han's footstep paused, his eyes flickered for a long time before he said in a low voice, "Knowing our identities, I really can't rest assured without seeing their corpses." Du Han took a step forward, heading towards the Lianyun Mountains, seemingly slow but actually fast. His figure disappeared into the distance, and his voice had just echoed in Meng Shan's ears, "Besides, we only need to be on the outer periphery of the mountains, not entering inside, the danger is still relatively small."

  Watching the distant figure, Meng Shan gritted his teeth and took off in a sprint towards Du Han. Those two heavily injured men could be ignored, but Young Master's life was more important than his own, not allowing for even a slight mistake.

  "Wood, put me down. I can walk myself." Shi Ning said softly into Ling Lin's ear. "Mm." With a warm and humid breath blowing against his ear, Ling Lin's face turned slightly red as he slowly put Shi Ning down from his back.

  After this period of recovery, Shicong's face was no longer pale as snow, and she had also recovered some mobility. Leaning on Linglin, Shicong looked seriously at Linglin's face, thinking to herself: "I didn't expect this guy to be quite good-looking too." What am I thinking, Shicong lightly spat out a mouthful of air, and a faint blush appeared on her white face. At this time, Shicong had recovered her true appearance, with an absolutely beautiful face that was flushed with a hint of red. Linglin was stunned, and couldn't help but mutter: "So beautiful."

  "What's going on?" The red glow on her face grew even brighter, and even the roots of her ears turned slightly red. Shi Ning lowered her head in embarrassment. If she were seen by the people of Qing Yuan Sect at this moment, they would probably be blinded by her beauty. Was this still the same little devil who was usually impossible to get along with? It seemed like a completely different person!

  "Cough, cough." Lin Ling awkwardly coughed a few times and quickly changed the subject, "We've crossed several cities already, now I don't even know where we are? Such a massive mountain range shouldn't be common, right?"

  "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Lianyun Mountain Range." Shī said with a serious tone.

  Lianyun Mountain Range?

  "Uh, the first killer place in Daliguo. Even the Xiantian realm cultivators who enter must be extremely careful, with the danger of falling at any time. This is still on the periphery, and what's even more terrifying is the interior of the mountain range, where many Zifu realm cultivators have fallen, and at the very center of the mountain range, there is a legendary beast that can rival the Dongxu realm."

  "Hiss." Although he had already sensed the great danger, Ling Lin hadn't thought that he still greatly underestimated this place. To know, a Xiantian cultivator has a lifespan of two hundred years, and a Zifu cultivator's lifespan is even longer, with over five hundred years, but here, every second could lead to downfall, it's simply a graveyard for cultivators! Endless years, no one knows how many cultivators' lives have been swallowed. Looking around, Ling Lin felt as if there was a terrifying beast lurking in the darkness, ready to pounce and devour life at any moment.

  Feeling the slight vibration coming from behind, Ling Lin's heart tightened. They had actually followed them in. "Let's go." Ling Lin grabbed Po Jingjing's hand and didn't have time to think twice, slightly distinguishing the direction, the two quickly disappeared from their original location.

  Under the moonlight, two figures were running cautiously. After a long while, they confirmed that they had shaken off the people behind them. Ling Lin let out a sigh of relief, like a tightly wound rope suddenly released, and fatigue rushed in like a tidal wave, instantly overwhelming him. His whole body felt boneless, leaning against a tree, Ling Lin slowly fell to the ground. The moment he fell, Ling Lin vaguely heard Shi Ning call out his name, then his consciousness sank into darkness.

  "Ling Lin." Seeing Ling Lin suddenly fall down, Shi Ning was startled. "Huh, this guy." Yuan Li stretched out and Shi Ning knew that Ling Lin was fine, just exhausted physically and mentally, now asleep, a self-protection mechanism of the human body. Looking at the sleeping Ling Lin with some heartache, Shi Ning, who experienced all this for the first time, undoubtedly remembered everything that happened today, among which Ling Lin's figure stood out particularly clearly. Thinking back to the time on his back, Shi Ning knew she would never forget it in her lifetime.

  ……

  "Where is this?" Ling Lin slowly opened his eyes, still dazed from the moment before he passed out. He seemed to have fallen asleep, and then everything was unknown, where was Shi Ning? With a puzzled heart, Ling Lin slowly sat up and looked around.

  This is a small cave, the inside of the cave is empty and desolate, with nothing in it except for several large leaves scattered all over the ground. And Ling Lin was lying on these leaves just now. These leaves were obviously picked by someone to be used as a back cushion.

  "Strange, where did Po Ning go?" Obviously, she was carried here by her, but where is she? Ling Lin got up and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

  "Ling Lin!" A voice full of surprise sounded, and a white figure darted in from the entrance, it was Shi Ningning, "You're awake."

  "Hmm, just woke up, where did you go? You're injured and still running around everywhere." Ling Lin said with a hint of blame, it's so dangerous here, running around like that can be fatal.

  "Alright." Shi Ning hummed softly, and several fruits of different shapes appeared in her hand. "I spent the whole morning on these guys. I've checked them out, they're all edible and contain a lot of spiritual energy. Fill your belly and cultivate at the same time, killing two birds with one stone."

  Ling Lin took the spiritual fruit handed over by Shi Ning, and with a growling stomach, he didn't even look at it for a few seconds before taking a big bite. His teeth broke through the skin of the fruit, and a sweet juice flowed down his throat, entering his body and transforming into spiritual energy that spread outwards. He ate several spiritual fruits in a row, and with a satisfied burp, Ling Lin felt an exceptionally full true energy inside him, even having too much spiritual energy that couldn't be absorbed, wandering around inside his body. His eyes lit up as he thought that although he hadn't been in the eighth level for long, he had taken the nourishing Qi pill, gone through a life-or-death battle, and now with the several spiritual fruits he just ate, all these factors formed a great opportunity for him to break through.

  Things shouldn't be delayed, so Ling Lin immediately sat down with his legs crossed. The Ling Spirit Decision circulated within his body, and the remaining unabsorbed spiritual energy inside him was guided, slowly flowing through his body, finally transforming into true energy and entering the Sea of Consciousness. After this period of exploration, Ling Lin had already begun to control his terrifying devouring power. For example, now, in order not to expose his secret, Ling Lin slightly controlled the speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy, so there was no terrifying spiritual storm produced outside his body.

  "This guy." Shi Ning took a big bite of the spiritual fruit in her hand, and then she curled up her lip. "He didn't even greet me before he started cultivating." Then, she looked at the fine, small flashes of blue lightning that occasionally flashed on Ling Lin's body surface, and her eyes narrowed as she exclaimed: "Aura transformed into electricity! How did this guy cultivate?! He's really a... freak."

  The Gangling Jue is a compulsory practice for every member of the Qingyuan Sect. Many people think that the Gangling Jue is an ordinary practice of the Da Luohao class, but only a very small number of people know that it is actually a highly advanced body-refining practice within the Qingyuan Sect itself. When cultivated to its ultimate level, it can transform an ordinary physical body into an extremely powerful special physique - the Gangling Body.

  However, not many people can cultivate it, even the early stages of Gangling Jue. Yes, the entire Gangling Jue is divided into three parts: front, middle, and back. The ten-layer Gangling Jue in the hands of outer door disciples is only the initial stage of the true Gangling Jue, but even so, not many people can cultivate it successfully. Moreover, Gangling Jue has a strange requirement: the initial stage must be cultivated during the Wudao boundary period, and once you break through to Xiantian, you will no longer be able to cultivate the initial stage of Gangling Jue. With such strict requirements, until now, Shi Ningning has not heard of anyone in Qingyuan Sect who has successfully cultivated a complete Gangling Jue, achieving the legendary Gangling body.

  Almost everyone cultivates the Martial Realm ahead of the Gang Spirit Decision. For example, when the Martial Realm is already at the fifth level, the Gang Spirit Decision may only be at three or four levels. Those extremely rare geniuses who can cultivate a ten-level Gang Spirit Decision during the Martial Realm are also suppressing their own realm with great difficulty at the tenth level of the Martial Realm, and only then can they break through before becoming Xiantian.

  But this guy, Shi Ningning could only exclaim in surprise, was the Lingfeng Decision specially prepared for him? The transformation of Lingqi into electricity is a sign that the Lingfeng Decision has entered its ninth layer. The eightfold realm of martial arts, the nine layers of the Lingfeng Decision, and the Lingfeng Decision actually surpassed the eightfold realm! "Maybe this guy can really cultivate the complete Lingfeng Decision." A thought flashed through Shi Ningning's mind.
