The originally moonlit sky with sparse stars suddenly turned into billowing clouds, a howling wind, faint flashes of lightning between the clouds, and dull thunder from far to near. The trees swayed this way and that under the strong wind, making creaking sounds, which was exactly what happened: Thunderclouds were thick and the sky was low, and the forest sea was covered with raging waves.
The cultivators in Wulei City hid inside the building one after another. A gray crane struggled to cross the top of Wulei City in the dark night wind and flew towards the increasingly dark barren mountains outside the city.
Zhicha! A pale electric light pierced through the thick thunderclouds, illuminating the dark sky. Someone who looked up was surprised to see this gray crane heading out of the city against the wind, and immediately pointed out: "Look, someone is actually leaving the city at this time!"
The lightning flashed away, and the gray crane disappeared among the dark wind and thunderclouds.
"Did you see that my good boy dared to go out of the city at this time? It's amazing!" Everyone was talking about this hero who braved the wind and went out of the city.
You must know that cultivators practice by plundering the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. To put it bluntly, they are going against heaven and competing with heaven for their fate. Therefore, whenever there is a thunderstorm, practitioners are very scrupulous and try not to be exposed in the wilderness during thunderstorms, let alone riding a crane at night under thunderclouds, because if they are not careful, they will be struck by lightning. No matter how powerful human power is, it is not as powerful as the power of nature.
The guy who struck with lightning was naturally Chu Jun. At this time, he had already left the Five Thunder City for several miles. He could hear the howling wind. The sky was dark, the ground was dark, the wind was dark, and his eyes were all black. Damn it! It was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers. The gray crane's feathers were blown into a mess and it moved forward at a snail's pace with great difficulty.
Chu Jun opened his eyes wide and looked down, trying to find a place to land. It was dark and rumbling below, and he couldn't see anything. He could only hear the sound of trees being blown by the wind like ghosts.
Zhicha! A bolt of lightning flashed across the thunderclouds in the sky, and under the pale electric light, the barren mountains with thousands of trees surging in them were clearly revealed. With sharp eyes, Chu Jun spotted a bare mountain peak and relied on his feeling to drive the gray crane down. This gray crane is indeed a divine horse, and it landed accurately on the top of the mountain. Chu Jun patted Xiao Hui's neck and rewarded it with a spirit bean before taking it into the breeding ring.
There was a flash of light before his eyes, and a graceful woman of light and shadow appeared silently. The soft moonlight on her body suddenly illuminated a radius of more than ten meters.
"Start practicing there!" The light and shadow woman pointed to a flat rock next to her.
Chu Jun said in surprise: "I'm practicing here, what if I get struck by lightning?"
"It's just to strike with lightning!" The light and shadow woman said without emotion.
Chu Jun almost fell over. He was a little suspicious that this strange woman was deliberately teasing him, but he couldn't play tricks on people like this. Being struck by lightning would kill him. Seeing Chu Jun's hesitation, the woman of light and shadow said coldly: "Do you want to practice or not?"
Chu Jun had no choice but to sit down on the rock and hug Yuan Shouyi. The howling strong wind blew the trees at the foot of the mountain to pieces. Chu Jun felt that he was about to be blown away together with the stones. He could not calm down to practice his skills.
"Jingxin, a truly strong person will not change his color even if the sky is shattering. It's just a small thunderstorm right now. If you can't calm down like this, just stop practicing!" The light and shadow woman said calmly. She did not raise her voice deliberately, but it reached Chu Jun's ears very clearly.
Chu Jun was a stubborn person. Hearing this, he was dissatisfied and tried his best to calm down. Gradually, the sound of wind seemed to subside, the sound of thunder subsided, and finally it became silent all around, and the spiritual platform was as empty as the moon in the well.
Zhila! The pale electric blade cut through the thunderclouds in the sky, and the loud bang shocked everything in the world. The heavy rain that had been brewing for a long time was mixed with the strong wind and fell all over the sky. It made a crashing sound, like thousands of horses galloping, and hit the cheek with burning pain.
"Just focus on cultivation, and you don't have to worry about other things!" the light and shadow woman said calmly. The crackling raindrops easily passed through the body of the light and shadow woman and hit the rocks. The woman of light and shadow is like a bright light, an elf floating in the mountains, in the dark night, rain and wind.
Zhicha! A ray of lightning fell from the nine heavens and went straight to the top of the mountain where Chu Jun was. Practicing at such a high place was a matter of being struck by lightning. The woman of light and shadow seemed to make a snap of her fingers, and a ball of cotton-like light floated out and spread wildly above her head.
The thunder and lightning actually seemed to have struck a stone in the pool, only causing a ripple. The sizzling arc passed through the brilliance of cotton wool and then absorbed the evil spirit of thunder and lightning.
Zhi! The blue-white electric light hit Chu Jun's body like running water. The latter's body visibly shook, and then he sucked the electric light into his body like a whale sucking water.
In Wulei City, on the Leiluo Pagoda of Leiyin Mountain, Ning Zhongtian, the head of the Zhengtian Sect, was looking out the window at the stormy night sky with a solemn expression.
Zhila! A pale electric light struck straight down.
This was already the seventh time. Thunder and lightning struck the same place seven times, and Ning Zhongtian's expression became even more solemn. At this time, footsteps sounded from behind, and Ling Zijian, dressed in purple robe, walked over and asked, "Senior brother, have you seen it? This is already the seventh time!"
Alas, another violent thunder struck from the sky!
"This is the eighth time!" Ning Zhongtian turned around and said.
"Is it possible that there is a hidden master who has overcome the calamity?" Ling Zijian's eyes showed a hint of fanaticism.
Ning Zhongtian shook his head and said: "Have you ever heard of the eight thunder pill tribulations... Now it's nine thunders!" As Ning Zhongtian spoke, another violent thunder struck.
Ling Zijian shook his head and said: "That's weird!"
Ning Zhongtian looked solemn and said: "A strange sign coming from the sky is probably not a good omen!"
Ling Zijian's expression changed and he said in a deep voice: "Senior brother is right, the Dragon God's light eruptions have become erratic recently, the beast tide comes earlier than in previous years, and I met that weird old woman in the Dead Ghost Forest!"
Ning Zhongtian nodded and said: "Lightning strikes continue, I'm afraid something filthy and dangerous has appeared. I'm afraid the world won't be peaceful for long!"
Ling Zijian's eyes flashed with murderous intent and said: "How about I go check it out now? That place is not far from the city!"
"It's very dangerous to go out in this weather now. It's better to wait until the thunderstorm stops!" Ning Zhongtian rejected his proposal.
Ling Zijian opened his mouth hesitantly, and Ning Zhongtian said calmly: "You want to say what happened to Chu Jun? I already know it, so just pretend that nothing happened!"
"But Senior Brother Liu...!"
"No one is a saint, and no one can do anything wrong. It is understandable that Junior Brother Liu shielded his beloved disciple. Since Junior Brother Qu and Junior Sister Yu are not pursuing the case, let's just expose it!" Ning Zhongtian said calmly.
Ling Zijian sighed: "But as a law enforcement elder, Senior Brother Liu, how can he be so conniving and shielding his disciples!"
Ning Zhongtian turned around and looked at Ling Zijian, and asked kindly: "Third Junior Brother, if Lin Ping made such a mistake, what would you do?"
Ling Zijian raised his eyebrows and said sternly: "Of course you will be severely punished!"
Ning Zhongtian shook his head and said: "Among the three sects, our Zhengtian Sect is the weakest. It is not easy to cultivate an outstanding disciple!"
"That also tolerates black sheep with bad behavior!" Ling Zijian said loudly.
Ning Zhongtian smiled bitterly and said: "The Liefa Sect has never given up and is trying to annex our Zhengtian Sect. The strength of our sect is far inferior to that of the Liefa Sect. If there is trouble due to the affairs of the disciples, the situation may change. Worse!"
Ling Zijian couldn't help but was speechless, and Ning Zhongtian said again: "Third junior brother, senior brother knows that you have been upright since you were a child, hate evil as much as hatred, and you are the most talented among our senior brothers. The position of head should be yours!"
Ling Zijian interrupted: "I am not the material to be the leader. Senior brother is the most suitable for this leader. I have never complained to the master about this matter. Senior brother, don't mention it again!"
Ning Zhongtian sighed and said with a worried look on his face: "I hope Zhengtianmen will not be destroyed in my hands!"
Ling Zijian's eyes flashed and he said: "Brother, why should you be too worried? Although Liefa Sect is strong, it is just a wishful thinking to eat us and Tenghuang Pavilion!"
Ning Zhongtian smiled bitterly and said: "I heard that the man is about to form an elixir. If he succeeds, even if we join forces with Tenghuang Pavilion, we will not be able to resist Liefa Sect!"
Ling Zijian couldn't help but look dim when he heard this, and sighed: "What a pity...!" As for what it was a pity, he didn't say anything.
The two were silent for a while, and Ling Zijian retreated without saying a word. Ning Zhongtian looked at the black sky and black ground outside, and said softly: "If the later levels of our Five Thunder Zhengtian Jue were not lost, the third junior brother would have been It will form a golden elixir... Is a storm coming? "
The wind gradually became lighter, and the thunderclouds began to die down after venting. Occasionally, there would be a few rumbling sounds, but the heavy rain was still pouring down. Chu Jun was soaked all over, and the tiny blue-white arcs on his body would occasionally explode.
When Chu Jun opened his eyes, there seemed to be electric light flowing in his pupils. At this time, Chu Jun had the urge to look up to the sky and roar. This practice was really refreshing. Compared with the usual practice of absorbing the spiritual energy floating in the air, it was hundreds of times more enjoyable.
During normal practice, the spiritual energy inhaled has no attributes and must be refined with the Five Thunder Zhengtian Jue before it can become thunder spiritual energy. The spiritual energy inhaled tonight is extremely pure thunder spirit energy. It only needs to be inhaled into the Dantian and refined a little. The most important thing is that it is so rich that there is no need to deliberately absorb it. The thunder spirit energy rushes into the body.
"Leave immediately, cultivators will come to investigate soon!" the light and shadow woman said calmly, her voice carrying a hint of weakness and fatigue that could not be concealed, and the moonlight on her body seemed to have faded a lot.
Chu Jun couldn't see through this strange woman more and more. He wondered what she was trying to do by sparing no effort to help him cultivate.
As soon as Chu Jun left, a sword light came straight towards the mountain peak. It was none other than the purple-robed man Ling Zijian.
Ling Zijian cautiously approached the mountain peak. The heavy rain spread out to the side as if it had eyes within a meter of his body, unable to get his clothes wet at all.
The rain had washed away all the traces on the mountain peak, so Ling Zijian naturally found nothing. In the end, he could only return to Wulei City with his sword angrily.
