Chapter 139 Collecting Admission Fees
Chen Yi discovered a secret of a Hall of Inheritance.
That is,
Besides his third-tier body refinement and the protection of third-tier golden crystals,
It is easier to use the lightning crystals within the body to enter this mid-grade third-tier lightning pool.
Furthermore, when the thirty lightning crystals within his body work in unison, they seem to be able to resist a large portion of lightning pool attacks to some extent.
At this moment, the energy of the Thunder Pool that Chen Yi's physical body felt had weakened by about 60% to 70%.
"What's going on?"
Chen Yi realized the problem.
Could it be that...
Entering the third level of the secret realm, through the Thunder Pool, does not require relying on physical strength or magical power to withstand the attack.
Instead, one must fully comprehend all thirty-six thunder spirit runes, thereby establishing the Heavenly Thunder Spirit Array within the body.
Is it safer to enter the third floor?
This discovery is crucial.
Because this Hall of Inheritance doesn't just have three floors, it also has four and five floors.
Even if Chen Yi could enter the third level through sheer strength, it would be difficult for him to advance further. However, if he could find the correct way for the Inheritance Hall to test its disciples...
That's hard to say.
Chen Yi decided to verify it.
He sat by the Thunder Pool, silently absorbing its power.
Others didn't understand it either, and they ignored it.
After a day and a night, Chen Yi increased the number of Thunder Spirit Runes in his body to thirty-five.
He couldn't condense the last one no matter what he tried.
It's like a lightning spirit rune array that's missing the final, crucial finishing touch.
After thinking about it,
Chen Yi returned to the inheritance stone tablet, activated the Thunder Spirit Protection to enter it, and began to comprehend the contents of the stone tablet anew.
This time, Chen Yi used the system to absorb every lightning attack that struck him from the stone tablet.
Remember the spirituality and principles within it.
Gradually, I began to rediscover the essential rules governing the thirty-six thunder spirit symbols on the stone tablet.
Time passed little by little.
Chen Yi sat cross-legged in front of the stone tablet, bathed in lightning, and entered a state of enlightenment.
He is not in a hurry;
The others, however, were in a great hurry.
Qi Wuba, in particular, exclaimed, "Why doesn't Brother Xu go into the third level to comprehend the profound techniques he's already mastered? He can enter the third level without injury, so why is he still trying to understand something in front of this stone tablet that he's already comprehended?"
"Hmph, I think he just doesn't want to risk his life for the Qi Kingdom cultivators. After sneaking into the third level, he didn't cherish his opportunity to compete with the geniuses of Zhongzhou for high-end inheritances."
Instead, they retreated and competed with us for the opportunity to study the stone tablet.
He's just afraid of dying and getting hurt; what a coward!
Leng Jianfei observed Chen Yi for a long time and found that he was just an ordinary body cultivator, and then he resumed his sarcastic remarks.
Surprisingly, no one else refuted Leng Jianfei's words.
indeed,
Chen Yi's ability to enter the third level unscathed demonstrates his strength to compete with the prodigies of Zhongzhou, but his retreat to re-examine the second-level stele forces the other prodigies of Qi to make way for him.
That's definitely a bit too conservative.
Two days later.
The thirty-six thunder spirit runes within Chen Yi's body suddenly lit up, flowing endlessly like the stars in the sky.
As the Heavenly Gang Thunder Formation operated on its own, his understanding of the power of thunder spirits suddenly leaped to a whole new level.
He had a hunch that he might be able to unleash a mid-grade third-tier lightning spirit spell with a simple gesture, or perhaps learn lightning spirit divine abilities of that level or higher.
As for the danger zone between the second and third floors, it's as simple as a child's game for him now.
He rose calmly, his clothes fluttering even without wind.
The previously daunting second-level Thunder Pool now seemed like child's play to him.
As Chen Yi stepped towards the Thunder Pool, the Grade 3 High-Quality Thunder Field retreated on its own, as if it were a living thing.
With each step, the raging lightning serpents splashed out like startled water droplets; with each inch forward, the rampaging lightning whips seemed to crash into an invisible barrier, all bending to the sides.
This scene,
This surprised the Qi Kingdom cultivators on the second floor.
"Brother Xu, how did you do that?"
It was Qi Wuba who spoke on behalf of everyone and asked the question.
Chen Yi turned around and smiled:
"Brother Qi, don't worry, I think I've found the right way to enter the third level."
"Let me give it a try. If I succeed, then all of us here will have a chance to enter the third level!"
"What?!"
Qi Wuba was overjoyed, and the others also widened their eyes. They couldn't understand what Chen Yi was doing, but they felt that he seemed to really be able to succeed.
Qi Yunxi, who possessed the Thunder Spirit Root, seemed thoughtful upon seeing Chen Yi's repulsion towards the Thunder Spirit. She appeared to have grasped something.
What key point did they grasp?
However, when she simulated Chen Yi's similar aversion to minefields, she discovered countless difficulties ahead.
This left her scratching her head in frustration.
Seeing Chen Yi like this, Leng Jianfei's eyes were filled with jealousy: "Hmph, all you do is play tricks and brag."
"I'd like to see how you handle things when you fail to get everyone in!"
Chen Yi had long disliked him, and turned back to look coldly at Leng Jianfei, saying:
"Leng Jianfei, is that right? You, a member of the Sword Sect, dare to question the strength of my Jade Dragon Sect?"
"You can come and go as you please from these three levels of my Jade Dragon Sect. Go ahead and try!"
"I," Leng Jianfei thought, feeling incredibly uncomfortable. "Damn it, when did the Jade Dragon Sect, such a small and dilapidated sect, start sending cultivators into this place?"
however,
The next moment, something even more explosive happened.
Chen Yi walked to the edge of the forbidden zone.
First, six lightning crystals lit up in his hand. When he put them into the lightning pool, sure enough, the lightning liquid seemed to encounter a water-repelling shield and scattered in all directions towards Chen Yi's arm.
As he reached his arm forward...
The crowd was able to see a passageway from the second floor to the third floor by following the lightning liquid that had been flicked away from his arm!
That is also the deepest part of the Thunder Pool.
"Holy crap, Brother Xu, how did you do that? You really did it?!"
Qi Wuba and the others were extremely surprised.
The fact that a mid-grade third-tier lightning liquid could be separated like ordinary lake water was truly unprecedented.
Next, Chen Yi tried the other arm, and then his whole body went in.
As his body entered, a human-shaped passage was forced open in the entire Thunder Pool.
Although the lightning liquid was incredibly explosive and powerful, it stubbornly refused to attack Chen Yi.
this moment,
Everyone suddenly understood something.
This is the real way to enter the third level!
After Chen Yi went in, he came out again.
Then, he stood directly at the edge of the lightning pool, the lightning crystal in his hand flashing continuously, as he kept trying.
Initially, he summoned thirty-six lightning crystals, simulating the formation of the thirty-six lightning spirit runes within his body, and connected them using his divine sense and the power of the lightning spirits.
A formation was simulated to repel the power of thunder spirits.
It easily repelled the liquid lightning in the lightning pool.
Next, Chen Yi gradually reduced the number of lightning crystals, attempting to simulate the simplest lightning spirit rune circuit with the fewest possible lightning crystals.
This is to achieve the effect of repelling lightning liquid.
From twenty-seven to eighteen
Finally, there are nine.
During this process, Chen Yi used the power of the system to absorb a significant amount of the spiritual energy from the Thunder Pool's liquid, and even absorbed some of the magnetic thunder spiritual energy from his large magnetic thunder jar.
An array arrangement used for comprehension, designed to repel the power of thunder spirits.
Finally, years of hard work paid off.
By the end, Chen Yi was able to use nine lightning crystals to form the simplest array, creating a passage the size of a vat opening.
He barely managed to expel the liquid lightning inside for a short period of time.
That's enough.
This process took a total of three days.
During this period, several of Qi's most outstanding talents came to ask Chen Yi how he had accomplished this.
Qi Yunxi was the first to comprehend it; she went directly to the previous stone tablet to comprehend the same thunder spirit runes.
After understanding it, like Chen Yi, they imitated his actions, hoping to achieve the effect of repelling the lightning liquid.
But no matter what they did, they couldn't succeed.
Leng Jianfei was the only one who couldn't bring himself to ask Chen Yi for advice. He just kept his head down and racked his brains, but he couldn't figure it out no matter what he did.
Three days later, when Chen Yi was able to create a large, vat-shaped passage using only nine lightning crystals, allowing people to quickly escape inside...
He looked at Qi Wuba and smiled:
"Brother Wuba, how about we do an experiment?"
Everyone had been curious for a long time, and judging from Chen Yi's demeanor, it seemed he could really bring everyone into the third floor.
At this moment, everyone's hearts were in their throats, filled with anticipation.
"Alright! Let's give it a try. Anyway, I'm tough and thick-skinned, so even if something goes wrong, I won't die."
"Come on, Brother Xu, tell me what to do, and I'll cooperate!"
Qi Wuba said it was his duty to act without hesitation.
Chen Yi's actions were to help all the geniuses of Qi, so of course he had to cooperate.
"Cover your body with the power of the Thunder Spirit Body Tempering Technique, and circulate that Thunder Spirit power according to my incantation."
Then, the instant I activated the lightning crystal array, you passed right through me.
It should be possible to enter the third level without taking damage.
Even if there's an accident, it'll only result in minor injuries at most.
The incantation for the operation of the Thunder Spirit that Chen Yi mentioned was the most basic method of mutual repulsion of Thunder Spirit power that he had learned from the stone tablet.
Qi Wuba's eyes lit up after hearing Chen Yi's incantation.
The next moment, a not-too-strong lightning light shone around him.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yi nodded slightly, then with a thought, nine lightning crystals flew out of his hand.
He plunged straight into the Thunder Pool, and with a thought, an octagonal passage instantly appeared.
The passage was about the width of a small vat, barely wide enough for one person to pass through.
"Brother Qi, let's go!"
Qi Wuba's face hardened, and he unleashed his power. Under everyone's gaze, he flashed forward and shot towards the center of the octagonal lightning crystal array.
next moment,
"Holy crap!"
Several bolts of lightning struck Qi Wuba, causing him to cry out in pain before disappearing.
"Hahaha, this thing of yours isn't very useful either. It took me days to install. I thought you were some kind of genius!"
Leng Jianfei was gloating; he was the last person who wanted Chen Yi to succeed.
Chen Yi merely snorted coldly, not even glancing at Leng Jianfei.
Because, through his divine perception, he knew he had succeeded.
That Nine-Star Thunder Crystal Array is enough to allow a cultivator to enter the third level with almost no injury.
The reason why Qi Wuba was injured was
It was because he was too big and too strong that, once inside, part of his body exceeded the range of the Nine Star Thunder Crystal Array's ability to repel the lightning liquid.
I got shocked a few times.
Next, Chen Yi retrieved the nine lightning crystals and entered the third level.
Sure enough, Qi Wuba was only slightly injured.
"Hahaha! Brother Xu, your Thunder Crystal Array is truly amazing. If I weren't so big, I wouldn't have gotten hurt at all."
How did you train this skill? Would you be willing to pass it on?
Qi Wuba was very excited.
Last time, he barely managed to get in after taking the Jade Dragon Sect's Vajra Elixir. At that time, almost his entire body was injured by the lightning liquid, and he was seriously injured.
Even after taking the medicine, he no longer had the strength to continue exploring the inheritance in the third layer.
But things are different now; he came in almost unharmed.
"It's unlikely I'll pass it on to you, because even if I did, you wouldn't be able to learn it."
Qi Wulian looked disappointed upon hearing this.
"However, as a disciple of the Jade Dragon Sect and a cultivator of the Qi Kingdom, I cannot stand by and watch my Qi Kingdom's prodigy fail to enter the third level and thus be excluded from the Thunder Soul Sect's inheritance."
"It is my duty, Xu Jiu of the Jade Dragon Sect, to bring the pride of our Qi Kingdom into the third level!"
Chen Yi spoke with a righteous and awe-inspiring air.
Qi Wuba's eyes lit up upon hearing this:
"Yes! Your Nine Thunder Crystal Array... I got injured rushing in because I'm too big, but those female cultivators are petite and entered without any problem!"
Chen Yi smiled and nodded, "That's exactly right."
He had been busy for so many days, dedicated to completing all thirty-six lightning spirit runes. Besides significantly improving his understanding of the rules of lightning,
Another purpose was to create a safe passage from the second floor to the third floor.
"Since the Jade Dragon Sect can charge admission fees at the entrance to the secret realm..."
Since I have the ability and can help everyone, why can't I charge some entrance fees at the entrance of the third floor of the Hall of Inheritance?
Anyway, once I get out, if anyone asks, I, Xu, am also a disciple of the Jade Dragon Sect!
As for breaking through to the third level, or even finding a way to reach the third level,
Chen Yi was not in a hurry.
If he wants to keep a low profile and reap the benefits, he needs to stir things up first.
How did you manage to muddy the water?
Of course, the goal is to send all those prodigies to the third level.
With so many people, things will get chaotic, and Chen Yi will then be able to take advantage of the situation.
Even if they steal some of the spiritual energy of the Thunder Lion, no one will be able to detect it.
Having made up one's mind,
Chen Yi asked Qi Wuba to describe his current condition and his experience passing through the Thunder Crystal Array.
He recorded it with a photo stone.
Then he turned around and went back to the second floor.
After Chen Yi enlarged the recording stone in front of everyone, letting everyone know about Qi Wuba's situation,
Chen Yi then spoke:
"Gentlemen, this time I, Xu, am representing the Jade Dragon Sect to enter the secret realm."
This is not for my personal sake, nor for the sake of my Jade Dragon Sect alone.
Rather, it refers to the major sects and forces in the cultivation world of the entire Qi Kingdom!
now,
This Thunder Soul Sect secret realm appeared within the territory of the Jade Dragon Sect of my Qi Kingdom, but those who entered the third level and obtained a better opportunity for inheritance were actually several prodigies from the Central Continent.
How can this be allowed?
However, even if Xu went in alone, he would be all alone and unable to compete with or snatch the spoils from those geniuses of Zhongzhou.
Right now,
Only if we all unite, all go in, and everyone uses their strengths,
Only then will I have the opportunity to showcase the brilliance of the Qi Kingdom's prodigies in this secret realm's inheritance hall, and let those from the Central Plains see that none of the Qi Kingdom's prodigies are cowards!
