Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 616 The Tragedy of the Great Monk!
After Master Leiyu finished speaking, everyone showed happy expressions in their eyes.

Master Hongchuan then said, "In that case, let's act as soon as possible. The earlier we get in, the more time we will have to search for treasures!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

So, under the guidance of Master Leiyu, they walked into the cave carefully, with lightning and illusory aurora flashing around them.

Lei Yu Zhenjun stopped and said solemnly: "Everyone be careful, we are about to approach the world barrier, and then use 'Thunder Void Escape'!"

"Everyone, listen to my command and cast the spell together!"

Then he began to mutter to himself,
"Five thunders gather together, the void is the guide, the five elements are in harmony, and the universe is broken. Quick!"

As the spell was recited, the five people pinched their fingers at the same time, drawing their own spiritual power towards the center of the cave.
"boom--"

Lightning arcs flashed, the power of the void descended, a faint hole appeared, and a gap was opened in the world's membrane!
Then point towards yourself,
Everyone was immediately covered by a blue-purple light, and an invisible light shield enveloped them and took them towards the world barrier.

The moment the light shield touched the world's membrane, a powerful recoil force came, and everyone felt their bodies shaken and were almost flung away.

But they gritted their teeth and held on.

Soon they passed smoothly!

Gradually, the world's membrane began to fluctuate, and a small channel slowly opened.

"Now, quickly!" Lord Leiyu shouted, and everyone immediately turned into streams of light and rushed into the passage.

At the moment of passing through the passage, they seemed to have experienced endless distortion of time and space, and their bodies and souls were under tremendous pressure.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally passed through the passage. When their feet stepped on solid ground again,

Then they knew that their goal had been achieved!

Looked up,

The scene before them stunned them.

It's like being in a world made entirely of thunder and lightning.

The sky was filled with layers of purple lightning, which were winding like giant pythons. They were intertwining and colliding with each other, and deafening roars broke out from time to time.

In the distance, the rolling mountains were also shrouded in lightning, and mysterious lightning flashed on the peaks, as if they were huge sculptures condensed from lightning.

Even the air was filled with rich thunder spiritual power, which made people's skin slightly numb.

However, for thunder cultivators like Zhou Xun, they felt like a fish in water.

Zhou Xun also felt that the lightning pool of his life-defining magic weapon in his dantian was shining brightly, as if he was excited by this place.
"It seems that this trip was really not a mistake!"

Zhou Xun thought to himself.

"If we can practice here, our cultivation growth rate will be at least three times that of the outside world!" On the other side, Master Xuan Lei sensed the environment here and couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

With his qualifications, if he could stay here for a few decades, he might be able to directly advance to the late Nascent Soul stage and become the twelfth great cultivator in Central Continent.

"It's a pity that every three months, a thunderstorm tidal wave will erupt in this Thunder Prison Land, sweeping across the entire Thunder Prison Land."

"Even with our cultivation level, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape," Lei Yu Zhenjun shook his head and then leaned forward.

Pick up a piece of soil, perform a spell to carefully examine it,

"We are not very lucky. The last lightning tide was two months ago. This means we only have one month to explore."

"No matter what, we must come back here, otherwise we will all be in trouble!"

Lord Leiyu said calmly.

"This precious land can be said to be a holy place for our Lei Xiu to practice. Otherwise, if we stay here all the time, how can we worry about not being able to break through in our cultivation?"

"Fellow Daoist Lin, is this lightning tide really so powerful? Is there no way to avoid it?" Zhenjun Hongchuan said somewhat unwillingly.

"According to the records in the ancient books, there was once a great monk with thunder attribute in the Leixiao Sect. He specially refined a top-grade magic weapon to deal with the thunder and lightning tides, just to stay here for a long time!"

"What happened next?" asked Master Xuanchen hurriedly.

"Later, there was no news of this senior anymore. It seemed that he disappeared in the Thunder Prison. I guess he fell somewhere in the Thunder Prison!"

Lord Leiyu sighed.

"Alas, such a precious land, such an opportunity, but I can only watch!" Master Hongchuan sighed.

"By the way, Brother Lin, this Thunder Prison is separated from our human world by a world barrier. How did you leave this place when you were only in the Foundation Establishment Stage?" Zhou Xun asked curiously.

After all, they were exploring one of the seven forbidden areas. The danger was self-evident. One of the five of them might die here!
How would they leave if they couldn't use the 'Thunder Void Escape'?

But Master Leiyu was only in the foundation-building stage at that time, yet he was able to leave successfully, which means there must be other ways of leaving.

"That's exactly what I'm going to explain,"

"Although the lightning tide is a natural disaster in the Thunder Prison, it is also an opportunity for us to leave,"

"Whenever a lightning tide erupts, it will form several space passages to leave near where we came in."

"It's exactly the same as the entrance to the secret realm. We can use this to return to Middle-earth!"

Lord Leiyu replied.

"So that's it!" Everyone suddenly realized!
"Let's set off without delay!" Master Xuan Lei said, and he made a seal with both hands and pointed at himself.
With a flash of light, a spiritual armor flashing with lightning covered his entire body.

This is his natal magic weapon, the Black Thunder Armor. Not only does it have amazing defensive power, but when combined with his Black Thunder true body, it has the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

He had not summoned it when he dealt with the Earth Spirit Beast King before.

As for Zhou Xun, he spat out nine thunder seeds, which turned into thunder shields and revolved around himself. Now that he was in the Thunder Prison, his thunder spirit power was abundant.

It won't be as exhausting as before when you were in the quicksand sea.

The other three also used defensive measures.

After doing this, several people flew towards the depths of the Thunder Prison, close to the ground.
The sky above the Thunder Prison was filled with streaks of lightning, which gave them an extremely dangerous feeling, so they naturally did not dare to fly recklessly.

Soon, they arrived at the foot of a huge mountain.

If they want to go deeper into the Thunder Prison, they must first pass through this high mountain.

Fortunately, there is a long and narrow valley at the foot of this high mountain, which can be crossed directly. Otherwise, when we reach the top of the mountain, it would be difficult to survive the terrifying lightning.

The valley was no more than a hundred miles long, and they could pass through it very quickly at their speed. Looking at the stone walls on both sides of the valley, Zhou Xun's heart moved, and he raised his hand and pointed.
"laugh--"

A sword energy appeared out of nowhere and hit the stone wall next to it!
Then, a surprising scene happened.

The sword energy only created a small hole about one foot deep, and had no other effect.
You know, Zhou Xun is now a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. The sword energy he casually shoots out is also at the Nascent Soul level!
It is really unbelievable that this is the only effect it has against this stone wall!
"In the Thunder Prison, not only are the rocks and trees extremely tough, but even Nascent Soul cultivators like us cannot destroy them as easily as in the outside world!"

Upon seeing this, Lord Leiyu immediately explained.

"What a strange place!" Zhou Xun couldn't help but marvel at it. He didn't continue the experiment and moved forward quickly.

Soon, they passed through the valley.
A huge and wide plain appeared in front of them, and everyone continued to move forward.
After walking for about half an hour,

suddenly--

There were thunderous sounds coming from the front.

Looking up, I saw monsters appearing one after another on the hill not far away.

"Oh no, it's a thunder beast!" Master Leiyu was shocked!
Those thunder beasts were huge, each one was more than ten feet in size, standing on the hillside like small hills.
Their appearance is somewhat similar to that of a yellow cattle, but they exude a frightening aura of majesty, with flashes of lightning and lightning interweaving on their bodies.

These lightning bolts sometimes flickered weakly and sometimes exploded violently, as if they were a layer of flowing lightning armor, tightly wrapping the body of the thunder beast.

Each strand of hair is like a tiny thread of lightning, emitting powerful lightning spiritual power.

"These are half-spiritual, half-demon creatures, and each one is equivalent to a cultivator in the late Jindan stage!" Lord Leiyu explained quickly.

"Later stage of pill formation!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xun was also shocked. There were more than a hundred of them here, not to mention that there were several larger ones among them.
This is definitely not something they can deal with!
At this moment, the thunder beasts also discovered their presence, and they rushed towards them with their hooves pedaling rapidly, with lightning flashing under their feet!

"Run!"

Zhou Xun shouted loudly, looked around, pointed to the high mountain on the left and said:

"Go to the left and use the mountain to shake them off!"

After saying this, my mind moved.
"Wow!"

A pair of wings with a span of several meters on his back spread out. They were his Thunder Wings!
With a light wave of his hand, the whole person turned into a stream of light and appeared hundreds of feet away. After a few flashes, a horse appeared in front of him.

Surprisingly, there were two people following closely behind him, not much slower than him.

One of them was the Thunder Prison Master. He turned into a ball of lightning and rushed over. It was somewhat similar to the "Thunder Void Escape" they had performed before.

The other one was True Lord Xuan Lei. His whole body was emitting flashing lightning and he was flying like the God of Thunder. It was obviously the magical power of his true body Xuan Lei.

As for Zhenjun Hongchuan and Zhenjun Xuanchen, they were much slower.

Seeing that Zhou Xun and the other two were running in the front, he gritted his teeth, forced himself to boost his magic power, increased the output, and his speed instantly increased by several times.

Behind them, a large group of thunder beasts came flying in the air and followed closely.

Soon, they arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Just as Zhou Xun was about to go up the mountain,

suddenly--

A cave about ten feet in size appeared in Zhou Xun's sight!
"Quick, go there!"

Zhou Xun took the lead and rushed in first, followed closely by True Lord Xuan Lei and True Lord Lei Yu.

Not long after, Master Hongchuan and his companion also flew in.

The rocks here are tough and difficult to damage.

With this cave, they don't have to worry about being besieged by the thunder beasts. Even if they reduce their size, they can only chase one at a time.
With the strength of Zhou Xun and others, they can deal with it calmly!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thanks to Brother Zhou's prompt decision, we have this chance to escape!" said Master Lei Yu.

"Strange, why are those thunder beasts hesitating outside and not daring to come in!" Master Xuanchen muttered.
Hearing this, everyone looked towards the entrance.
I saw the thunder beasts gathered a hundred feet away from the entrance, not daring to approach.

It seems like he is afraid of something.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.

With their knowledge, they could naturally guess that there must be something in the cave that made them wary!

"Not good, there might be something else in this cave!" Master Xuan Lei said in a deep voice.

"What should we do then?" asked Xuanchen Zhenjun.
"There's nothing I can do but look inside first!" He looked at the thunder beasts that were surrounding the outside and were reluctant to leave.
And sensing the breeze passing through the cave,
This meant that the caves were connected and there must be an exit on the other side. He extended his spiritual sense inside, but found nothing after going a thousand feet deep!

"go inside!"

Master Xuan Lei said something and walked in front. Everyone cast spells at the same time and together they held up a curtain of light to wrap them up!

The defensive spells cast by the five Yuanying True Lords together can resist one or two attacks from even a top-grade fourth-tier monster.

So everyone walked slowly into the cave.

Suddenly, Master Xuan Lei in front of him made a stop gesture with his left hand.

"What's wrong?" asked Master Hongchuan.
"There are changes ahead, look!"

After hearing what Master Xuan Lei said, everyone spread their spiritual consciousness and explored forward. They saw a thousand feet ahead.
A huge stone chamber several hundred feet in size appeared inside.

There were passages surrounding the stone chamber, and this one was one of them.

"It seems that this is the lair of some kind of monster!" said Master Leiyu.

"Perhaps, the way out is those other passages!" Zhou Xun guessed.

"That must be the case. As long as we rush to the stone chamber and then choose a passage to leave, we can avoid the group of thunder beasts!" Master Hongchuan agreed.

"Then we will continue to move forward. However, no one knows what kind of monsters live here, or what their strengths and methods are. We must all be cautious!"

Xuan Lei Zhenjun said, pointing towards himself,
A blue light curtain rose up to protect him. Together with the Black Thunder Armor and the outermost light shield, it was a total of three layers of defense.

As expected of the number one thunder cultivator in Central Continent, he is indeed cautious!
Zhou Xun also took out a fourth-level defensive talisman, activated it, and it turned into a golden light shield that enveloped him.
The others did the same, each adding a line of defense and then continuing to move forward.

Soon, everyone arrived at the huge stone chamber.

"Demon beast corpses. And our human race!" At this moment, the voice of Master Xuanchen sounded.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Following his gaze, he saw a skeleton more than ten feet long and about ten feet in size appear in front of him. A few feet in front of it,
There was also a human skeleton scattered around.
Zhou Xun's heart trembled, and he immediately walked over and leaned over to investigate.
After a long while, he raised his head, his face solemn, and said slowly:

"From the remaining aura of this skeleton, it seems that he was actually a great monk in his lifetime!"
