Chapter 144 Thunder Spirit Tide

Chapter 144 Thunder Spirit Tide

"Chengcheng, I didn't mean to criticize you, but you should at least do something about that Xu Jiu."

People don't know yet that he is Chen Yi.

If one day in the future his identity is exposed, and you become his Daoist partner again...

Some people know that after entering the third level of this secret realm, he didn't attempt to break through the Thunder Lion's comprehension stele.

Instead, the first thing they did was build themselves a doghouse and hide inside.

Where will you put your face after this?

Upon seeing Chen Yi's reaction, Qiu Li immediately sent a telepathic message to Qin Chengcheng. As Qin Chengcheng's friend, she felt it was natural for her to know that Qin Chengcheng's potential future Daoist partner was like this.

They all felt extremely ashamed.

Qiu Li was too ashamed to look.

That little doghouse was so small that only one person could squeeze in, and you couldn't even stand up, yet he treated it like a treasure.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chengcheng also felt a little embarrassed to watch.

But her first thought was still to support Chen Yi.

"Sister Qiu, don't underestimate his formation. It's a combination of array and artifact that can withstand a third-tier lightning field!"

It's a bit small and cramped right now, but with some upgrades, it might be able to be expanded into the size of a small house.

When we get tired or our magic power is depleted here, we can go there to rest and recuperate.

Qin Chengcheng was trying her best to save face for Chen Yi, but in reality, she didn't know how to improve the situation and turn that "doghouse" into a place where people could rest.

After all, in this third layer of the minefield, the requirements for the protective formation increase exponentially with each expansion of the protective array.

"What? Go there to recuperate?"

Qiu Li scoffed upon hearing this.

"I would rather die than crawl into that doghouse of his."

"Chengcheng, I also advise you not to go. It's too embarrassing. You're the most beautiful woman in the Qi Kingdom during the Foundation Establishment stage. You must persevere."

"I'll take another look."

Qin Chengcheng felt that Qiu Li was right, that people would have to climb into the cage to get in, but at the same time, she was reluctant to part with Chen Yi.

She secretly observed the young master Ji and the sword cultivator from Zhongzhou.

To her surprise, neither of them showed the slightest hint of mockery.

Even that young master Ji looked thoughtful.

"A cage that can withstand a third-order lightning field, even if it's a dog cage, is quite remarkable."

Seeing this, Qin Chengcheng breathed a sigh of relief. That's more like it. Chen Yi's creation was just a bit ugly in appearance and a bit small in size, but it was definitely a third-tier item.

However, regardless of the specific ability, reaching the third level is by no means simple.

Thinking of this, Qin Chengcheng's good mood returned; Chen Yi wasn't as bad as Qiu Li had said.

Besides, even if it were a doghouse, she would be willing to go if Chen Yi invited her.

Qin Chengcheng was eager to try it out and work with Chen Yi, especially in front of Ning Bu'er. She didn't care about her fairy-like image.

However, after she sent a telepathic message to Chen Yi, it went unanswered.

Chen Yi made no attempt to invite her.

Over there, inside the cage, Chen Yi was absorbing the purple mist left behind by the palace assembly.

After the system absorbed his spiritual essence, Chen Yi found his thinking much clearer. His understanding of any cultivation techniques, energy circulation, formations, thunder spirit runes, Vajra Body Refinement, cooking, and other skills had all improved to a new level.

There is a system that specifically extracts its spiritual essence, making it a level above other people's absorption of purple smoke.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Yi wasted no time.

We should start directly with the most core Vajra Kung Fu training.

Previously, he had focused on the diamond core formed by 40 strands of golden light; now, looking at it again, he realized that method had many areas for improvement.

Chen Yi seized the time to improve the quality of the diamond core, increasing it from 40 strands to 45 strands in three days.

Half of the spiritual energy of the Purple Cloud Smoke has been used up.

During the period when the spiritual essence of the purple mist permeated the soul,

Chen Yi used his divine sense to perceive the spiritual energy tides of the third-order lightning field outside through a "dog cage" he designed.

Gradually, they discovered the similarities and differences between the minefields on the third level and those on the second level.

What is similar is that it is in the same vein as his thirty-six lightning spirit rune array.

The difference is that the three-layered minefield is a level more advanced and complex.

Gradually, Chen Yi discovered that each of the nine thunder lions seemed to be a node within a thunder field.

The nine thunder lions, when linked together, form nine large nodes, connecting nine smaller minefields into one large minefield.

The so-called tidal attack of the minefield on the intruder is also closely related to the location and attack characteristics of these nine thunder lions.

After discovering this problem, Chen Yi suddenly had several new insights.

For example, how to improve the "dog cage" to enhance its effectiveness in defending against the tidal wave of lightning attacks from the lightning field, and how to expand the space that the "dog cage" can cover with available materials.

For example, how to understand the characteristics of this third layer of minefield?

In particular, after discovering the interconnectedness among the nine thunder lions,

Chen Yi felt like he was solving a riddle.

"It seems that gaining the approval of these nine thunder lions doesn't necessarily require fighting. It only requires understanding the thunder spirit rune array, reaching a consensus with each thunder lion, and achieving resonance."

After understanding this principle, Chen Yi gained another insight into breaking through the three layers of the Thunder Lion.

After understanding this principle,

Hidden inside the "dog cage," Chen Yi secretly touched the edge of the cage, waiting for the attack characteristic of the first thunder lion among the nine different tidal attacks of the thunder field to arrive.

Quietly activate the system and absorb the power of the Thunder Spirit within it.

Based on his previous guesses and insights, he gained a deeper understanding of the power of thunder spirits.

really,

The thirty-six thunder spirit runes within his body lit up simultaneously.

The next moment, the thirty-seventh lightning spirit rune slowly formed and lit up within his body.

It is integrated with the original thirty-six runes, yet slightly different.

"Just as I thought."

Chen Yi understood.

At this point, only about one-third of the Purple Cloud Smoke remained, and Chen Yi stopped absorbing it.

He began to focus on comprehending the Thunder Spirit Tide Attack of the first Thunder Lion.

A few days later,

The thirty-eighth to fortieth thunder spirit runes gradually formed in his body.

After forming four, it became very difficult for Chen Yi to perfect the other lightning spirit runes belonging to this lightning spirit tidal attack.

"The complete inheritance should be found on the inheritance stone tablet."

Chen Yi guessed.

So, at a time when no one was around at the first stage of the inheritance process,

He went straight out and arrived at the first Thunder Lion.

Unlike the others who challenged Lei Shizi, Chen Yi did not fight.

After starting the challenge, Chen Yi silently endured the various lightning spirit attacks from the Thunder Lion.

"As expected, each attack represents the characteristics of a Thunder Spirit Rune."

Chen Yi didn't defend against the first four attacks from the Thunder Lion at all. He simply used the same Thunder Spirit Runes within his body to launch attacks at the same frequency, easily dissolving and absorbing them.

Chen Yi easily blocked the remaining five attacks with the help of his Body Refining Golden Crystal and Thunder Crystal.

Then, the thunder lion stopped moving, and the thunder spirit shield beside the inheritance stone tablet began to absorb Chen Yi's magical energy.

Then Chen Yi was able to enter the lightning shield and comprehend the stone tablet normally.

After entering, he sat cross-legged on the ground, and lightning spirits occasionally struck Chen Yi from the lightning shield.

Chen Yi did not stop him.

Just as he expected, each lightning attack represented the attack characteristics of a lightning rune.

These subtle differences between various lightning spirit runes are generally indistinguishable to cultivators.

Chen Yi was only able to sense it after he had forty lightning runes in his body.

A day passed, and Chen Yi secretly absorbed the lightning attacks striking his body using the power of the system.

The marks of the forty-first to forty-fifth Thunder Spirit Runes within his body had already begun to subtly appear.

"【Thunder】".

After the remaining five Thunder Spirit Rune imprints within the body were located...

Chen Yi connected the lightning arrays in the first inheritance stone tablet and discovered its inheritance characteristics.

It is a method of attack against Lei Ling.

Using the power of vibration, it can unleash pulse-like lightning attacks, increasing the attack power of ordinary lightning by 50%.

"I see. This should be the most basic one among the nine lightning spirit inheritances of the entire third level."

"It wouldn't be a problem to pass on this Thunderclap Technique to the Jade Dragon Sect."

Chen Yi understood.

Then it retreated and returned to its cage in the corner, preparing to digest the situation for a while.

After replenishing the five Thunder Spirit Runes within your body, continue.

At this point, more than ten days had passed.

The Qi Kingdom cultivators who had left the third level to prepare had already gathered on the second level.

A communication talisman traveled through the Thunder Pool to the third floor, flying to Chen Yi and landing in front of him.

Brother Xu, we've arrived. Please lead us inside; we'll cover the rest of the expenses.

Upon seeing the message talisman,

Chen Yi was in a good mood. "More business has come in."

Chen Yi stood up and left, this time only charging everyone half the fee.

They sent Qi Wuba, Qi Yourong, Feng Qingjun, Gong Quanhui, and others inside.

Finally, when it was Leng Jianfei's turn, Chen Yi was impartial and charged him the full price.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, why are they all paying half price while I'm paying full price? Isn't that unfair?"

Leng Jianfei was unconvinced.

"Fellow Daoist Leng may choose not to enter."

Chen Yi was impartial and incorruptible; to show even a little kindness to such a person would be foolish.

Leng Jianfei glanced coldly at Chen Yi, ultimately deciding to hold back for the time being.

I've tolerated it so many times already, one more time won't make a difference.

This time, his family paid a great price to persuade his grandmaster, a master of the Purple Extreme Golden Core stage, to allow him to enter the Sword Pavilion.

Driven by his intense hatred for Chen Yi, he desperately comprehended a sword intent.

It was precisely because he possessed this advantage that he chose to return to the Secret Realm Inheritance Hall.

In fact, if he were to use all his magical power and true essence to unleash that sword intent with his life, he might even be able to enter the third level on his own.

However, that would seriously injure him.

He decided to be patient one last time, go inside first, and then talk about it later.

Later, once he defeats the multi-headed thunder lion and comprehends the Thunder Sword Intent, he will surely turn back to demand an explanation!

"it is good."

Leng Jianfei gritted his teeth and paid 10,000 spirit stones to enter the third level.

Chen Yi also returned to the third floor.

This trip brought him another 3 spirit stones in resources.

And this time, he specifically selected materials related to certain formation methods.

He planned to enlarge the "dog cage," at least to make a space roughly the size of a carriage.

Otherwise, I really wouldn't have the face to invite others in.

After returning to the third floor, Chen Yi went back into the cage in the corner.

I plan to digest my gains first, study the second wave of lightning attacks for a while, and then comprehend the inheritance stele guarded by the second lightning lion.

Seeing Chen Yi's reaction, Qi Wuba couldn't help but laugh:

"Brother Xu, how did you get into the dog...cough, the cage?"

Chen Yi wasn't angry about such jokes, since what he had designed did indeed resemble a dog cage.

"Ahem, Brother Wuba, you don't understand. This is a simple array device that can protect against attacks from a third-tier lightning field."

"Brother Wuba, would you like to come in and give it a try?"

Chen Yi generously showed off his hand and invited him with a smile.

Qi Wuba shook his head.

"Haha, Brother Xu, you jest. I'm afraid I can't fit into your little cage. Let's talk about it another time."

On the other side, Feng Qingjun also saw the cage and made a sarcastic remark:

"Huh? It can actually protect against minefield attacks?"

Brother Xu, you've thought things through thoroughly. But if you don't like the minefield environment, why not leave? What are you doing in this secret realm?

Chen Yi: "."

"I think you have a point. In a few days, when you've exhausted yourself in the minefield, don't come here to rest. Go out on your own."

"Tch, Brother Xu, you underestimate me, Feng Qingjun. Even if you offered me spirit stones to invite me to your dog cage, I wouldn't go!"

The others smiled and advised, "Brother Xu, you are, after all, the face of Qi's elite. If you can't stand up straight, let's talk outside."

Chen Yi remained silent, noting down each of these people.

I just mentally valued this lounge a few points higher.

Time passed day by day.

After returning, the others made thorough preparations and passed the tests of the first two Thunder Lions, thus obtaining a portion of the inheritance from the Inheritance Stone Tablet.

Chen Yi obediently hid in the very back corner, dismantling the dog cage and upgrading it.

At the same time, a portion of resources is also consumed daily for refining the Five Elements Golden Radiance and Thunderfire Golden Crystal for body tempering.

And improving the quality of gold crystal cores, etc.

For the rest of the time, he would also gradually sense the lightning spirit fluctuations of the 46th to 54th lightning spirit runes belonging to the second lightning lion within the lightning field tide.

Now, without challenging the second Thunder Lion, Chen Yi has already condensed 49 Thunder Spirit Runes.

The others made steady progress, and the entire minefield appeared peaceful.

That day, Chen Yi had just finished assembling a "cage" the size of half a carriage, and its defensive capabilities had just been upgraded by one level.

suddenly,

The three layers of the lightning field suddenly trembled, and an unprecedented tide of lightning swept in from the core area.

Nine waves of lightning intertwined and overlapped in the void, with purple and white lightning mixed with blue and gold lightning, and the pressure instantly rose to the late stage of the third rank.

The different attributes of Thunder Spirits are clearly distinct in the tides:

The thunder pattern, carrying a blinding silver light, swept across first, followed closely by the wind pattern, which stirred up an electric arc storm, while the water pattern transformed into liquid plasma and spread across the ground.

Having just finished fighting the fourth Thunder Lion, Qiu Li was the first to be hit by the most powerful Thunder Spirit Tide attack.

She suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the protective lightning around her was torn open in several places.

The protective golden jade in Young Master Ji's hand shattered into dust, and the gilded magic umbrella automatically unfolded, yet it was still pushed back more than ten feet by the thunderous waves.

The natal flying sword held in his left hand emitted a mournful sword cry, and the lightning arcs wrapped around the sword went out of control and backfired.

Qin Chengcheng was so close that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward.

The others were also blasted away by the lightning tidal wave attack, suffering injuries of varying degrees.

Even Chen Yi, who was hiding in the horse cage, felt the magnetic lightning array vibrate violently.

His horse cage groaned under the strain, and the array base composed of thirty-six lightning crystals exploded one after another.

Fortunately, the lightning tide outside the cage was completely blocked, and he was unharmed in the impact.
