Wu Shattered Star River

Dark clouds obscured the sky, dimming the light. A fierce wind raged, and a torrential rain poured down. In the distance, a volcano erupted, black smoke billowing upwards.

Jiang Han stood on the small island, feeling so insignificant, like a speck of dust.

Thunder rumbled in the sky, constantly tearing through the air and pouring down. Lightning arcs, like centipedes, darted around, baring their fangs and claws, terrifying and dreadful.

"Chi la ~"

Lightning arcs emerged from Jiang Han's palm. He slowly raised his hand, comparing the lightning in his hand with the lightning that continuously struck from the sky. The accumulated lightning power within his Xuan You Divine Altar also began to circulate throughout his body.

The heavy rain drenched him completely, and the fierce wind made him unsteady on his feet. The thick sulfurous smell from the distant volcanic eruption was choking and suffocating.

Jiang Han didn't really know what the point of standing here was, what he could comprehend, what help it could provide for his cultivation, or whether it would have any effect on opening his Mountain Sea Secret Chamber. But since Jiang Lang had suggested it, he would give it a try.

He wanted to carefully feel the power of thunder and lightning, to feel its overbearing and terrifying nature.

He slowly closed his eyes, sensing the divine power of nature.

One incense stick's time, two incense sticks' time, half an hour!

"Chi la --"

Suddenly, with a deafening roar, a bolt of lightning plunged into the sea a hundred zhang away from the island.

At that moment, Jiang Han felt that the surrounding space was filled with powerful lightning power. The aura of destruction made his heart tremble.

The lightning power within his own Xuan You Divine Altar was also stirring restlessly. He turned pale with fright and dared not stay outside any longer, diving into the ground.

With such terrifying lightning, if he were struck, Jiang Han believed he would instantly turn into ashes without any doubt.

Seeing Jiang Han come down with a pale face, Jiang Lang quickly asked with concern, "What's wrong? Were you struck by lightning?"

"Almost, almost!"

Jiang Han, still with lingering fear, circulated his Xuan Power to dry the water from his robe, and exhaled a long breath, saying, "This lightning is too terrifying. Even a Heavenly Human Realm expert couldn't withstand it, right?"

"If you want to walk the path of the Lightning Saint Body, you'll have to be struck by lightning often in the future."

Jiang Lang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid. Once you get through the first time, you'll get used to it."

"Get lost!"

Jiang Han glared at him. This was not a joke. Just now, the lightning was a hundred zhang away, and he felt the aura of destruction.

Not to mention his current battle strength, even if it were ten times stronger, he couldn't withstand a single lightning strike.

Jiang Han didn't waste any more words. He sat down and began to cultivate, to see if watching the lightning for so long just now could provide any insights to help him open his Mountain Sea Secret Chamber.

Zuo Yiyi also began to cultivate. She was the most anxious now, as her realm was about to be caught up by Jiang Han.

When she brought Jiang Han back then, there was a whole realm difference between them. She didn't want to lose face.

Half a day later, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, but the volcano outside was still erupting. The Suanni beast burrowed into the volcano and disappeared. The group had no choice but to close themselves off and wait patiently.

This wait lasted eight days!

After the volcano stopped erupting, the Suanni beast finally emerged from the crater. It stood at the crater's edge and roared to the sky, alarming Jiang Han and the others.

Jiang Han and Jiang Lang went outside and carefully investigated, finding that there were no martial artists near the volcano.

Jiang Han quickly let out a long whistle. The Suanni beast heard it and rushed down from the volcano, plunged into the sea, and quickly swam towards them.

"Awoo!"

Upon arriving in front of Jiang Han, the Suanni beast cried out excitedly. Jiang Han and Jiang Lang exchanged a glance, a hint of disappointment in their eyes.

The Suanni beast didn't seem to have evolved. Its aura hadn't strengthened, and it was still a third-order demon beast.

"Let's go!"

Having been delayed here for a few days, the group didn't want to stay any longer. Jiang Lang took out the warship, and the group boarded. The Suanni beast leaped up and lay down on the deck, soon falling asleep.

"There's hope!"

Jiang Han's eyes lit up. The Suanni beast fell asleep as soon as it got on the warship, which meant it had likely swallowed a lot of good things and needed to digest and absorb them.

Perhaps after it had completely absorbed them, it would advance to a fourth-order demon beast.

The warship continued to move forward.

In the following days, apart from encountering a few demon beasts, they didn't encounter any martial artists.

Encountering demon beasts was much simpler than encountering martial artists. Jiang Lang could use the Ghost Flag to cover the warship. Demon beasts didn't have high intelligence, and after discovering that the target had disappeared, they would circle around and leave.

These few days were filled with thunderstorms. As long as the lightning was far away, Jiang Han would always stand on the deck to watch.

He had encountered a bottleneck and couldn't open his Mountain Sea Secret Chamber. Although watching the lightning might not be useful, he felt that seclusion wouldn't be particularly effective.

Last time, he opened his Xuan You Secret Chamber because a battle had sparked inspiration. Now, he also wanted to seek an opportunity to break through by observing the lightning.

They passed twenty days without any major incidents, and the group was not far from Flying Immortal Island.

This warship was much faster than a small boat. According to calculations, if there were no accidents, they would probably arrive at Flying Immortal Island in ten days.

That night, the sea near the warship was filled with thunder and lightning, and a torrential rain poured down.

Jiang Han stood alone on the deck. The little fox was asleep at his feet, and the Suanni beast below was still sleeping.

Jiang Lang and the others were all in seclusion, and Niu Meng was snoring like thunder in the rear cabin.

The surroundings were pitch black, the waves below were churning, and the howling of the wind was incessant. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky, tearing through the night and illuminating the entire sea.

When the lightning disappeared, the surroundings returned to darkness, and everything disappeared, as if swallowed by a giant beast.

"Chi la --"

Another bolt of lightning tore through the sky, the lightning being several zhang wide, connecting heaven and earth.

The lightning arcs around the lightning darted around, tearing that piece of space apart and illuminating this sea area brightly.

In the distance, a large island could be vaguely seen, with towering mountains on the island and a vast and boundless sea nearby.

At this moment, Jiang Han's heart inexplicably skipped a beat, as if a door was faintly about to open.

"Xuan You Xuan You, a winding path leads to seclusion. Mountain Sea Mountain Sea, seeing the mountain and gazing at the sea..."

Jiang Han slowly closed his eyes, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

If the Violet Palace Divine Altar was the source of a martial artist, the source of power, then the Xuan You Divine Altar was the extension of power.

The Violet Palace Divine Altar was a spring, the Xuan You Divine Altar was a stream, then did the Mountain Sea represent a great river and sea?

The spring water emerged from the spring, converging into a stream, and the stream converged into a great river, passing through the mountains and finally converging into the sea?

The two divine altars in Jiang Han's body began to operate, and countless Xuan Power gathered together, surging and running in the meridians.

More and more Xuan Power gathered, eventually converging at one point.

"Boom!"

A gap suddenly appeared, like the darkness being split open by lightning. All the Xuan Power began to pour into that gap, and the gap became larger and larger, eventually forming a door.

After that door was completely opened, a mysterious power poured out, quickly sweeping through Jiang Han's body.

At this moment, Jiang Han felt that his body and soul had been sublimated, and a vast and boundless aura permeated his body.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"

The group flew out from several cabins, joy appearing on Jiang Lang and Qi Bing's faces.

Zuo Yiyi sensed it for a moment and said with a mournful face, "Jiang Han, are you even human? You actually broke through to the Mountain Sea Realm so quickly. I'm so ashamed, Jiang Han's realm has caught up with me. Don't hold me back, I'm going to jump into the sea to commit suicide..."

"Yiyi, calm down, don't jump! Wait for me to close the warship's shield first, then you jump."

Jiang Lang quickly reached out and grabbed Zuo Yiyi's arm, but he wasn't pulling her back, but pushing her body towards the edge of the ship, obviously wanting to push her into the sea...
