Chapter 654: Chapter 30: The Fall of the Great Cultivator
After True Monarch Thunder Prison finished speaking, everyone revealed expressions of happiness in their eyes.
True Monarch Hong Chuan then spoke up, "If that’s the case, let’s act swiftly. The earlier we enter, the more time we have to search for treasures!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Thus, led by True Monarch Thunder Prison, they cautiously stepped into the grotto, with Thunder Light and fleeting auroras shimmering around them.
True Monarch Thunder Prison stopped, his expression solemn as he said, "Everyone be careful, we are about to approach the world barrier. Next, we’ll cast the ’Thunderous Void Escape’!"
"Everyone listen to my command and cast together!"
He then began murmuring incantations,
"Five thunders converge, void as the guide, Five Elements unite, escape through the universe, speed!"
As the spell was uttered, the five of them simultaneously gestured, channeling spiritual power within their bodies towards the center of the grotto,
"Boom—"
Thunder Arcs flickered, Void Power descended, and a faint entrance appeared, opening a breach in the world barrier!
Then they pointed at themselves,
Instantly, they were enveloped in blue-violet light, wrapped in an invisible barrier, carrying them toward the world barrier.
As the barrier touched the world barrier, a powerful rebound force surged, making everyone feel a shock in their bodies, almost being flung away.
But they gritted their teeth, stubbornly persisting.
Soon they passed through smoothly!
Gradually, the world barrier began to ripple, slowly revealing a small passage.
"Now, quick!" True Monarch Thunder Prison shouted, and everyone immediately turned into streams of light, rushing into the passage.
In the instant of traversing the passage, they seemed to experience endless time and space distortion, enduring tremendous pressure on their bodies and souls.
After what felt like an eternity, they finally emerged from the passage, and when their feet again touched firm ground,
they knew they had reached their destination!
As they lifted their gaze,
The sight before them left them stunned.
It was as if they had entered a world entirely forged by thunder and lightning.
Above them, layers of purple lightning twisted like giant serpents, weaving and colliding with each other, periodically erupting with deafening roars.
In the distance, undulating mountains were also shrouded in lightning, with peaks shimmering with mysterious Thunder Light, as if formed by massive sculptures of lightning.
Even the air was filled with dense Thunder Spirit Power, making one’s skin tingle slightly.
However, for Zhou Xun and the other Thunder Dao cultivators, it felt like a fish in water.
Zhou Xun also felt his Dantian’s Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Thunder Pool, glowing brightly, seemingly excited by this place.
"It seems this trip was truly worthwhile!"
Zhou Xun thought to himself.
"If we could cultivate here, our cultivation speed would be at least three times that of the outside world!" On the other side, True Monarch Profound Thunder sensed the environment here and couldn’t help but feel moved.
With his aptitude, if he could stay here for decades, he might directly advance to Late-Stage Nascent Soul and become the twelfth Great Cultivator in the Central Continent.
"It’s a pity that this Land of Thunder Prison experiences a Thunderstorm Tide sweeping through every three months,"
"Even with our cultivation, I fear we wouldn’t escape calamity," True Monarch Thunder Prison shook his head, then bent down,
taking a pinch of earth, casting a spell to carefully investigate,
"We’re somewhat unlucky, the last Thunder Tide was just two months ago, meaning we have only one month of exploration,"
"Regardless, we must return here by then, or we shall suffer misfortune!"
True Monarch Thunder Prison said calmly.
"This place can be considered a cultivation holy land for us Thunder Cultivators, otherwise staying here forever, why worry about not breaking through in cultivation!"
"Daoist Lin, is this Thunderstorm Tide really so formidable? Is there no way to evade it?" True Monarch Hong Chuan asked somewhat unwillingly.
"The scripture records that the Ancient Thunder Night Sect once had a Great Cultivator with a thunder attribute who specially refined a top-grade spiritual treasure to stay here long-term!"
"And then what happened?" True Monarch Profound Time quickly asked.
"Later, there was no further news of that senior, seemingly vanished in this Thunder Prison, likely perishing somewhere within it!"
True Monarch Thunder Prison sighed.
"Alas, a treasure like this and such opportunities, yet we can only look on helplessly!" True Monarch Hong Chuan lamented.
"By the way, Brother Lin, when you were at the Foundation Establishment Stage, how did you manage to leave this Land of Thunder Prison with the world barrier between it and the Human Realm?" Zhou Xun curiously inquired.
After all, they were exploring one of the Seven Forbidden Lands, with dangers beyond description, and one of them might fall here!
By then, they would be unable to cast ’Thunderous Void Escape’ and how would they leave?
However, when True Monarch Thunder Prison was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he managed to leave, indicating there must be another way.
"That’s precisely what I am about to explain,"
"While the Thunderstorm Tide is a natural disaster within the Thunder Prison, it’s also our opportunity to leave,"
"Whenever the Thunderstorm Tide erupts, it forms several space passages near where we entered,"
"Much like a secret realm entrance, we can use it to return to the Central Continent!"
True Monarch Thunder Prison answered.
"I see!" Everyone realized!
"Time is of the essence, let’s go quickly!" True Monarch Profound Thunder spoke, gesturing to himself,
With a flash of light, a Spirit Armor shimmering with Thunder Light covered his entire body.
