Chapter 338: Thunder Eye Technique
As Chen Fan absorbed the surrounding crimson Thunder, a spectacle formed at the summit of Red Thunder Mountain.
A Thunder vortex, fully ten meters in size, appeared in the sky above Chen Fan's head, and a bolt of lightning drew out from the center of the vortex, linking to the space between Chen Fan's brows.
This bolt of lightning was as thick as an arm, and the lightning in the sky was surging madly into Chen Fan's body along the current.
Gradually, as time passed, the Thunder vortex in the sky expanded to a diameter of one hundred meters, and this bolt of lightning also grew to the thickness of a person.
Terrifying energy was continuously poured into Chen Fan's body; his body was like a massive container that could never be filled.
At the foot of the mountain, Luo Jingyun watched this spectacle and clicked his tongue in wonder.
The shock Chen Fan brought him was too great!
Time passed bit by bit, and finally, it reached the second half of the night; as Chen Fan absorbed the Thunder madly, the crimson Thunder shrouding the entire Red Thunder Mountain seemed to thin out somewhat.
Just at this moment, Chen Fan's aura changed abruptly; the barrier of the Fifth-Order Mid-Stage shattered with a boom, and his cultivation climbed step by step!
He opened his eyes, feeling incomparably refreshed.
He let out a long whistle, the sound shaking the vast sky.
The Thunder vortex in the sky was completely scattered by this long whistle.
"Fifth-Order Mid-Stage!" Chen Fan stood up, feeling the astonishing energy surging within his body, feeling incomparably excited.
He could live for another dozen days or so!
As long as he found Mo Wuya, the danger of the Vow Poison would be solved!
Next, Chen Fan did not immediately go down the mountain to rendezvous with Luo Jingyun, but instead looked around.
This Red Thunder Mountain was extremely special; the crimson Thunder circling its surface did not come from the sky, but was emitted from the mountain body itself.
Chen Fan stomped his foot; the rock beneath his feet was extremely hard, and even with a stomp at full strength, he only left a half-inch deep footprint.
Chen Fan frowned and pondered for a moment, then closed his eyes; he attempted to attach his consciousness to the Thunder.
At first, the Thunder could not carry his consciousness at all, but after several attempts, his consciousness actually began to slowly merge into one with the Thunder.
Chen Fan could not help but feel a shock in his heart; this thought had popped up on the spur of the moment, and he had not expected it to actually be feasible.
"Could this kind of crimson Thunder also be a type of Attribute Divine Thunder, and its attribute effect is to carry consciousness?" Chen Fan could not help but think to himself.
He decisively tried again; after a dozen minutes of practice, he was already familiar with the process.
Chen Fan discovered that as long as it was a place his Thunder could extend to, his consciousness could reach that place.
To put it bluntly, wherever the Thunder reached, his Sea of Consciousness could form an image of that place.
"Let's call this ability the Thunder Eye Technique!" Chen Fan thought for a moment and gave this ability a simple and easy-to-remember name.
Afterwards, he leaned over onto the ground, his hands pressed against the mountain body.
The next moment, Thunder dissipated out from his palms, drilling toward the underground.
As the Thunder penetrated bit by bit beneath the rocks, the image of the underground also appeared in his mind.
This feeling was extremely wondrous; the situation underground automatically formed a three-dimensional image in his mind, just as if it had been scanned by radar.
As his consciousness continued to probe downward, when the depth reached 500 meters, the distance the Thunder could be released reached its limit!
Yet at this extreme depth, he 'saw' a crimson crystal.
"What is this?" Chen Fan could not help but feel a start in his heart, then his face was filled with joy: "This... could this be a Thunder Crystal?!"
He hurriedly changed positions to continue probing with the Thunder Eye Technique; at a position vertically downward nearly 500 meters from this spot, he still sensed the crimson crystal.
Chen Fan changed positions one after another, and after moving to over ten locations, he discovered the existence of crimson Thunder Crystals.
This made his heart tremble violently!
"This isn't just a Thunder Crystal! This is practically a Thunder Crystal mine!"
"No wonder crimson Thunder dissipates from the mountain body; it turns out they are all emitted by these Thunder Crystals!"
The formation conditions for Thunder Crystals are extremely harsh; generally, it requires a location where a large amount of Thunder Liquid has gathered, followed by crustal movement, and only after tens of thousands of years of compaction is it finally possible for a Thunder Crystal to form.
And with such a massive amount of Thunder Crystals under Red Thunder Mountain, it is hard to imagine how much Thunder Liquid gathered here in the past.
And the formation of Thunder Liquid itself requires the Thunder to be concentrated to a certain degree.
Therefore, the area where Chen Fan was located was likely an ocean of Thunder back then!
"I never expected to encounter such a fortuitous encounter!" Chen Fan's heart still could not calm down.
One must know that the set of Heavenly Dipper Thunder Evil Array he had on hand required Thunder Crystals to set up!
For this, he had Xiao Hongmei search for them at a high price in Nanling, but she only found one Thunder Crystal, and it was a Thunder Crystal condensed from ordinary Thunder.
But the Thunder Crystals under Red Thunder Mountain were condensed from crimson Attribute Divine Thunder!
The power of a Heavenly Dipper Thunder Evil Array set up with these kinds of Thunder Crystals would definitely be incomparable!
"I'm rich!" Chen Fan suppressed the excitement in his heart, took out the Dragon Spine, and stabbed it fiercely into the ground.
Today, no matter what, he had to dig open this Red Thunder Mountain!
Thunder poured into the long spear, and he stabbed into the ground one spear-thrust after another.
However, his efficiency was extremely low; this Red Thunder Mountain was simply too hard, and in five minutes, he had only dug to a depth of one meter.
And he was already panting heavily from exhaustion!
At a depth of five hundred meters, he feared it would be difficult to dig through even if he dug for three days and three nights.
Just as Chen Fan was hesitating whether to leave first and come back to dig after the Vow Poison was lifted,
At the foot of the mountain, Luo Jingyun saw him actually chiseling the mountain and could not help but be surprised.
He flew to the summit and asked curiously: "Chen Fan, what are you doing?"
Chen Fan leaped out from the deep pit; he did not intend to hide it, as this was someone else's territory after all, and he said with some embarrassment: "Senior Luo, there are Thunder Crystals below, I am preparing to dig some up..."
"Thunder Crystals?" Luo Jingyun was also somewhat surprised.
He shook his head lightly and could not help but laugh: "You kid, you certainly have good luck."
Chen Fan scratched his head, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Luo Jingyun asked with a smile, "Are you certain it's there? At approximately what depth?"
"Certain!" Chen Fan nodded and said, "At a depth of about five hundred meters!"
"Fine, go wait to the side, I will help you blast open this mountain."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan hurriedly flew up into mid-air.
Luo Jingyun, meanwhile, swung his fist toward the mountain body.
This incomparably hard Red Thunder Mountain was teetering under Luo Jingyun's fist.
After only three punches, the mountain body split open directly, revealing a crimson light from within.
"Let's go, let's go down and take a look." Luo Jingyun looked at Chen Fan, who was still in shock in the air, and urged him.
Chen Fan came to his senses and hurriedly followed.
The two followed the fissure to the bottom, and what met their eyes was a dense expanse of crimson crystals.
"Good heavens, the Thunder Crystal ore here is likely more than one hundred cubic meters," Luo Jingyun could not help but be surprised.
Chen Fan was equally surprised and opened his mouth wide.
One Thunder Crystal is about a circle larger than an adult's fist, and one cubic meter of Thunder Crystal ore contains about one thousand Thunder Crystals.
Which means there are at least one hundred thousand Thunder Crystals here!
