Free Web NovelChapter 663: Chapter 34: Cave Mansion Beneath the Lake, the Third Jade Talisman!
The entire three hundred sixty Thunder Swords hovered in the air, all pointing at the Thunder Element Spirit,
"Take this one more time!"
Saying this, Zhou Xun pointed at the Thunder Spirit opposite him!
The three hundred sixty Thunder Swords transformed into a torrent of Flying Swords, shooting rapidly at the Thunder Element Spirit!
"Zhi Zhi—"
Sensing the astonishing momentum of the Flying Sword torrent, the Thunder Element Spirit, like a startled bird, cried out anxiously,
its figure twisted as it darted backward!
But in the next moment, a giant scarlet transparent shield hundreds of feet large blocked its path, covered with various runes.
"Boom!"
The Thunder Element Spirit crashed into it fiercely,
the immense force causing tiny cracks to appear on the Blood Shield, seemingly about to shatter the next moment,
but as the Blood Demon Child’s hands flashed with blood light, the Blood Shield’s glow flickered and instantly returned to its original state!
Seeing no escape, the light at the top of its horns flashed, aiming forward,
a massive blue-purple Thunder Whip condensed in the air, instantly weaving into a gigantic Thunder Token,
thousands of Thunder Whips extending out like agile long snakes, continuously waving,
at this moment, the torrent of Flying Swords arrived,
swallowing the massive Thunder Token directly!
Rumble,
only to see streaks of Thunder Arc flickering in the air, accompanied by the constantly flashing Sword Light, the Thunder Token only lasted a breath before vanishing instantly!
Subsequently burying the Thunder Element Spirit, astonished beyond words,
after a dozen or so breaths,
the torrent of Flying Swords flew back, swirling around Zhou Xun’s body, flying up and down,
while in the distance where the Thunder Element Spirit had been, its presence was no longer seen, leaving only a blue-purple round pearl the size of a fist hovering in suspension.
"Indeed, the moment the Flying Sword Torrent Technique was unleashed, it immediately took effect!" Zhou Xun laughed endlessly,
reaching out a hand to summon the round pearl, grasping it in hand,
feeling its warm smoothness, with streaks of Thunder Arc flashing, Zhou Xun was extremely satisfied, forming a seal with his hands,
casting several restrictions to seal it before placing it into his Storage Bag.
Leaving it to deal with once outside,
as for the residual soul within, naturally, it would be left to the Soul-Devouring Beast Cyan Ape to handle, a Tier Four residual soul, probably a great supplement for it as well.
After handling this, Zhou Xun summoned the Blood Demon Child back, resting them in the Blood Demon Bag for recovery.
Just within the time it takes for a cup of tea, their consumption was enormous, if they were in the Land of Thunderous Jelly, they might not be able to strike again.
Seeing this, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but sigh,
these Blood Demon Children were only at the Tier Three Peak, and even with the Joint Attack Technique, they were just equivalent to a Peak of Early-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator,
which held diminishing significance to him now.
"If there’s an opportunity, I still want to find a way to upgrade them!"
Upon finishing these thoughts, Zhou Xun turned his gaze toward the Thunder Pool,
only to see the Thunder Pool, two inches in size, suspended in the Thunderous Jelly, glowing faintly,
with threads of Thunder Element Power continuously being absorbed and gathered around it, finally being devoured and refined by the Thunder Pool!
This was so subtle that if it weren’t for Zhou Xun’s extraordinary Divine Sense, it wouldn’t have been noticed.
"I didn’t realize that this Thunder Pool could have such a fortune, if I could place the Thunder Pool here for a hundred years, it might directly upgrade to a Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure!"
It’s just a pity, he only had over twenty days, unable to stay long,
as for placing the Thunder Pool here, it was impossible.
The Thunder Seed nurtured within the Thunder Pool is the source of his Divine Techniques, naturally, it can’t be separated from him,
besides, when the next opportunity to enter comes, is still uncertain!
Therefore, Zhou Xun simply left the Thunder Pool suspended over his head, continuing to seek out other Thunder Element Spirits!
A day later, Zhou Xun slew another one, gaining a Tier Four Low-Grade Thunder Pearl.
Just as he continued hunting around,
suddenly—
a point of light not far ahead caught his attention, like a bright pearl, even within the Thunder Juice Lake with its flickering blue light,
it remained extremely dazzling!
"What is this?"
To be nurtured here, it probably isn’t an ordinary treasure,
Zhou Xun’s heart leaped with happiness, immediately swimming towards it, the closer he got, the larger the brightness became.
After half a minute, Zhou Xun finally saw its entirety,
the bright spot turned out to be a light curtain covering several miles, surrounded by flickering Thunder Arcs, shining so brightly it’s near white,
just like the Profound Thunder Sword displaying the Third Layer of Sword Shadow Unification Secret Technique!
This was the reason why Zhou Xun could clearly see it even from such a distance.
"I didn’t expect, at the bottom of the Thunder Juice Lake, there actually exists such a Cave Mansion, and I wonder what kind of predecessors arranged it."
Zhou Xun marveled,
then circled around the Array, starting to examine it carefully.
"This style, this capability, why does it seem so familiar?" The more Zhou Xun investigated, the more familiar it felt, as if he had seen records of such an Array somewhere before.
Zhou Xun bowed his head in deep thought, carefully recalling,
finally—
he remembered,
"Right... this is... the ’Five Skies Purple Thunder Array’ of Tier Four High-Grade"
It is a Tier Four High-Grade Array recorded in Zhou Xun’s cultivation technique, the "Thundercloud True Technique",
an extremely rare Thunder Attribute Array, integrating offense, defense, and trapping enemies into one, even Great Cultivators find it hard to break through.
This array, established here, absorbs the Thunder Power from the Thunderous Jelly within, making its power more sustained, even Great Cultivators would find themselves rendered helpless here,
"It can’t be!"
"Is it possible after entering the Treasure Mountain, I might have to leave empty-handed?"
Upon thinking of this, Zhou Xun was momentarily stunned, his expression stiffening,
to know that the presence of this Array here led his first thought to that Thundercloud Sect Great Cultivator who entered the Thunder Prison and then vanished without a trace,
only he would possess the Array recorded in the ’Thundercloud True Technique’, and also be able to manifest in this Land of Thunder Prison.
"It must be!"
"This is likely a Cave Mansion left by the Thunder Night Sect Great Cultivator, if I really miss this, I’m afraid I’ll regret it for a lifetime!"
"No... I must break through this Array!"
Zhou Xun resolved earnestly in his heart, he is a Tier Three Peak Array Master after all, paired with his Early-Stage Nascent Soul cultivation,
perhaps with some luck, he might successfully open it!
Thus his Divine Sense dove into the Storage Bag, preparing to take out a Tier Four Array,
to use the method of breaking array with array, to break through this ’Five Skies Purple Thunder Array’!
However,
when his Divine Sense entered the Storage Bag, he couldn’t help but become pleasantly surprised,
for in the corner of his Storage Bag, a Jade Talisman of complete emerald color inscribed with the ancient word ’Celestial’, was faintly glowing with light,
"Oh... how did I forget it!"
"Back in the Celestial Profound Secret Realm, I used this Jade Talisman to open the Array, so it should be the same here,"
"This Jade Talisman is obviously a highly authorized Token within the Thunder Night Sect!"
So Zhou Xun cheerfully took out the Jade Talisman, slowly inputting mana,
watching as it abruptly rose into the air, flying forward slowly, then shooting out a blue glow,
striking the light curtain of the Array,
sending ripples across it,
followed by the opening of a hole about a meter in size,
the Array opened!
Seeing this, Zhou Xun was immensely overjoyed, holding the Jade Talisman, unhesitatingly soaring in, stepping inside.
Once he entered, the hole behind him automatically closed.
Zhou Xun couldn’t help marveling, as expected from a Tier Four High-Grade Array, to possess such capabilities, indeed remarkable.
Inside the Array,
an ancient styled courtyard appeared before him, with two stone Pixiu at the entrance.
"I guessed right, there really is a Cave Mansion here, but it doesn’t seem large in scale, likely just for temporary use!"
Zhou Xun walked to the front door, knocking the door handle three times as a gesture of courtesy,
only after this did he lightly exert force, pushing the door open, revealing the courtyard within.
With a cultivation room, bedroom, kitchen, beast cage, treasure vault, and all necessities present, small but comprehensive.
After carefully observing for a moment, Zhou Xun walked directly to the cultivation room, and upon opening the door,
a figure draped in a purple brocade robe sat with its back to him, but appeared extremely loose,
seemingly having been seated for a long time,
with a Jade Talisman, the same as the one in Zhou Xun’s hand, hanging from its waist,
at this moment, emitting a faint light, flickering as if welcoming Zhou Xun’s arrival,
thus confirming at last for Zhou Xun,
the one who sat there, was indeed from the Ancient Thunder Night Sect!
