Chapter 3546: Seizing the Opportunity to Cultivate

Now the whole canyon is illuminated by lightning; although the mercenaries can see the path, the sight of purple lightning everywhere makes their hearts race.

Whether human, beast, or even Demon Race, they all have an instinctive fear of the lightning power that represents heavenly punishment. If Ye Liuyun had not used the Slave Seal to control them, they would have fled long ago.

They walked forward a bit more, and the purple lightning turned into Blood Thunder, the canyon filled with patches of red light flashing. Even Martial Cultivators of the second and third layers of Tai Xu now cannot withstand such heavy lightning attacks. Within each Blood Thunder there is also a lightning source.

The mercenaries worry that Lei Ming can't hold out. But Lei Ming at this moment is concentrating on absorbing and refining the lightning power. This place is perfect for her cultivation; Demon Qi and lightning are the forces she needs. If there weren't others here, she wouldn't want to leave.

After seeing the lightning source, Ye Liuyun also stepped out of Lei Ming's shielding area, moving to the front, claiming to scout for the group, while actually also absorbing lightning power.

The War God armor on his body also manifested, undergoing the lightning baptism. For them, this amount of lightning source is still somewhat weak, but it's better than none.

As they went deeper, the thunderous lightning turned into world‑ending black thunder, and the lightning sources were very massive. At this level of lightning strike, even Martial Cultivators of the Sixth Layer Realm get injured when struck.

Ye Liuyun simultaneously absorbs the lightning source and uses the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique to sense the lightning elements in this space. He finds the lightning elements here abundant, though not very strong.

So he began actively gathering lightning power, releasing his own lightning spirit to absorb. Once his lightning spirit is released, it ravenously draws the valley's lightning, and the lightning density in the canyon immediately drops noticeably.

"Little brother, save some for me!" Lei Ming immediately protests.

"Fine!" Ye Liuyun smiles and agrees, gathering more lightning above Lei Ming for her to absorb.

As they walk, Ye Liuyun stops, letting everyone wait a moment.

Because he finds that moving further forward weakens the lightning, their current spot is where the lightning elements in the air are strongest. Martial Cultivators of the Seventh Realm can no longer endure such fierce lightning strikes, and those of the Eighth Realm will also suffer some injury.

Yet Ye Liuyun and Lei Ming remained in place to cultivate for over two hours, absorbing the strongest lightning; after that, both of their lightning spirits grew stronger, and even Lei Ming's Thunder God Hammer became fully charged with lightning, after which they left satisfied.

Just before exiting the lightning zone, Lei Ming transforms into a humanoid and descends; Ye Liuyun also releases the monster beasts, letting everyone undergo the lightning tempering.

The mercenaries are blasted by lightning, shrieking wildly, but they sustain no real injury. The monster beasts also stand firm, treating this as a training ground to forge their physical bodies.

"Train your physical bodies, there's nothing to complain about! Try not to resist with True Essence, use your bodies to endure!" Ye Liuyun reminds the mercenaries.

After they fully exit the lightning zone, Ye Liuyun sends the mercenaries and monster beasts back to Space World to rest, but leaves Chen Yueying, Qiong Qi, Zhu Que and the Nine‑Head Demon Dragon outside.

"You felt it too?" Qiong Qi, seeing the people and monster beasts Ye Liuyun left behind, knows that Ye Liuyun also sensed the elemental forces ahead.

Ye Liuyun smiles, "Of course, my current flame power is far stronger than yours!"

"Then what are we waiting for, let's go!" Qiong Qi urges. He clearly feels the flame power ahead.

"Let's go, everyone absorb together, but stay alert to surrounding dangers and don't be careless!"

Ye Liuyun gives them a brief reminder, then leads them onward.

This time there are no mercenaries outside; Qiong Qi takes the lead at the front.

At first they only feel a heat wave, then it grows hotter, followed by flames appearing; the flames intensify until the strongest point, when they finally stop and absorb to their heart's content.

Ye Liuyun

He still uses the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique, sensing the flame element, gathering it so his Golden Crow Fire Spirit can devour it. Qiong Qi directly takes out the Broken Copper Cauldron and absorbs together with that cauldron.

Zhu Que, the Nine‑Head Demon Dragon and Chen Yueying also strive to absorb the flame, so this time they spend far less time than in the lightning zone, since many people mean greater power. Soon the temperature of this canyon segment drops considerably.

Ye Liuyun estimates that at this flame intensity, Martial Cultivators of the Sixth Layer of Tai Xu can pass through directly. In the future, anyone entering Sheng Mo Gu will find it much easier.

The next segment brings attacks of Subterranean Dark Fire; Ye Liuyun pulls Zhu Que and Chen Yueying back into Space World. Qiong Qi can absorb any flame, and the Nine‑Head Demon Dragon likewise can take in any fire, so the three of them handle the absorption.

When the three have absorbed enough and exit the area, Ye Liuyun returns them to Space World, releasing Little Blue Ice and Lei Ming.

"Prepare to absorb Ice Power!"

Wu Qingcheng, Man Shu and Yu Er have not yet reached the Tai Xu realm, so they cannot directly absorb this time, but Ye Liuyun can transfer the Ice Power to Snow City in Space World, letting them borrow the light.

Thus this stretch of exploratory power becomes Ye Liuyun's opportunistic cultivation path. There are no other dangers on the road, making it perfect for them to absorb various elemental forces.

However, ordinary people lack so many elemental forces, so passing these stages is extremely difficult.

On the later canyon path, Ye Liuyun senses abundant metallic element power, though its danger is unknown. To be safe, he cautiously releases the mercenaries, letting them continue scouting ahead.

He continues the reconnaissance with Lei Ming, Bai Hu, Long Nv and Qiong Qi.

"It's a bit like the Knife‑Wind Sword‑Rain canyon we used for body‑refining before," Long Nv says upon emerging, feeling the energy attributes here are very similar to that place.

"Then that's perfect; everyone can come out to forge a bit!" Ye Liuyun looks forward to Long Nv's correct observation.

"But the Knife‑Wind Sword‑Rain of the Tai Xu World is probably not so easy to get through!" Long Nv says with some worry.

After all, this is the Tai Xu World; the metallic forces are too strong, and they may not be able to endure.

"Hmm, that could be; we'll walk step by step, slowly feeling the strength of this power!" Ye Liuyun is unhurried; if true body‑refining is possible, he could stay here longer.

Sure enough, as they advance, they feel metallic energy like a wind blade sweeping toward them.

However, the metallic force here cannot be absorbed; they can only brace it with their bodies. Thus the monster beasts cannot use it for cultivation, only to harden their physical bodies. Recent heavy recoding gives us more motivation, faster updates; please click to exit reading mode. Thank you.
