In the center of the lightning lake, the towering Lightning Divine Hall was completely enveloped by terrifying lightning. Terrifying lightning bolts rumbled down like a downpour. It was majestic, but it also brought with it a pressure that shook one's mind.
In a place like that, the crowd found it hard to imagine just how high one's cultivation was needed to survive. Even from such a distance, they could feel the aura that made their hair stand on end. Perhaps the slightest contact with the lightning there would turn them into ashes.
"We've already reached the peak of the lightning mountain. I won't stop you from leaving. Wait for me at the foot of the mountain!" Shui Mochan looked at the Lightning Divine Hall and said.
However, at this time, the crowd had reached the peak of the mountain with the formation flags that Shui Mochan had given them. There weren't many people who wanted to leave.
When they came up, they were afraid of danger. Furthermore, they didn't know that Shui Mochan had such a powerful ability, so they weren't willing to take the risk. However, now that they had arrived safely, it was a completely different scene.
Shui Mochan didn't pay any more attention to the crowd. Instead, she walked straight towards the lightning lake.
Looking at the purple lightning that surged around her feet, the terrifying aura that made one's heart palpitate continuously spread out. Shui Mochan could feel that if she entered the lightning lake, she would probably be turned into ashes in less than ten breaths. The terror of the lightning here had already somewhat surpassed her imagination.
Just as the disciples of Dayin Tower were preparing to work together to search the surroundings to see if there were any treasures or the like, everyone saw a handsome young man stroll up the mountain. His casual appearance made everyone cry out in surprise. More importantly, the young man didn't have any defensive treasures on him. He didn't even have any protective spiritual energy.
He just walked up step by step. With every step, his body would strangely flash across a large area. The lightning in the sky would occasionally fall, and the rumbling sounds would constantly explode around the young man. However, not a single bolt of lightning could land on the young man's body. The only thing that stood out from the rest was the faint azure light on his body.
Hearing everyone's cries of surprise, Shui Mochan couldn't help but turn her head and look down the mountain.
Although it was very far away, Shui Mochan still felt a familiar aura from the rapidly flashing figure. She almost instantly recognized who it was.
Ink Cicada held the umbrella and silently waited for the figure at the foot of the mountain to arrive.
Not long after, the young man arrived near the people of Dayin Tower. He looked at the Ink Cicada who was staring at him in silence. He scratched his head, smiled shyly, and walked over.
"I never thought that Lady Shui Mochan would be here as well. Did you come for the Lightning Divine Palace?" The young man asked. It was unknown whether it was because he was shy in front of such a beautiful woman or because he was running so fast, but his face was a little red.
"I'm not here for the Lightning Divine Palace. Instead, what are you doing here, Young Master Ruan? You don't seem to have the lightning attribute either! " Shui Mochan asked. The person in front of him was Ruan Shizhi, who had fought fiercely with the Crown Prince in the Sutra Depository.
"I'm not here for the lightning attribute either. It's just that this is a good place to temper my body. My metal attribute can be tempered through lightning. Furthermore, with my strength, it's impossible for me to pass through the lightning lake and reach the Lightning Divine Palace. That palace is destined to be fated with me!" Ruan Shizhi smiled shyly.
Shui Mochan nodded her head. The two of them chatted for a while, then stopped talking. After all, they weren't that familiar with each other, and had only met each other once in the Sutra Depository. The two of them saw each other as experts of the same level as them, which was why they had the leeway to speak. Otherwise, wouldn't it be more convenient to kill each other directly?
In the distance, there were other experts on the shore of the lightning lake. There were a total of five of them. However, from their age and the aura that was being emitted from their bodies, without exception, all of them were at the Nascent Soul Stage and above.
"These people are preparing to pass through the lightning lake and head to the Lightning Divine Palace in the center of the lake, right? They're really overestimating themselves!" Although Ruan Shizhi had a humble and bashful smile on his face, his words did not leave any face.
"I reckon that no one will be able to go to the Lightning Divine Palace this time. The formation of the Immortal Abode has suppressed everyone's cultivation to the Aurous Core Stage. As for this lightning lake, one should at least need the strength of a Nascent Soul Stage to pass through. If one were to directly pass through the lake, even a Nascent Soul Stage expert would be turned into ashes.
Only a Nascent Soul Stage expert would be able to pass through the lightning lake, "Shui Mochan said while looking at the surface of the lake. He did not have the slightest bit of objection towards Ruan Shizhi's judgement. From this, it could be seen that the goal of the two of them this time was indeed not the Lightning Divine Palace. Because, even if they had some hidden methods, it was impossible for them to pass through the lightning lake. They were proud, but not conceited.
The five Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in the distance coldly swept their gazes over the situation here. Then, they spread out their bodies and transformed into a formation formed by a five-colored radiance. Instantly, they rushed out, stepping on the lightning lake as they headed straight for the Lightning Divine Palace.
All of this seemed to be very easy, as if there wasn't any sluggishness. It was also not as terrifying as what Ruan Shizhi and Shui Mochan had described. The entire lightning lake was very calm. Purple lightning flashed on their formation, but it was unable to break through.
However, a strange change suddenly occurred in the next moment. Just as the five cultivators advanced fifty meters, a faint purple lightning snake suddenly leapt out from the lightning lake. With a smack, it struck the formation that the five of them had formed together.
This lightning snake did not seem to be any different from the lightning that was gathered in the lightning lake. However, it instantly broke through the defense of the formation on the five of them and landed on the bodies of the five Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.
The faint purple lightning flashed past, enveloping the formation. When everyone looked again, they discovered that the figures of the five people had already disappeared from the lightning lake. Everything about them had disappeared, as if they had never existed in the first place.
Shui Mochan and Ruan Shizhi's eyes suddenly shrunk. Even though they knew how terrifying the lightning lake was, at this moment, they still felt fear from the bottom of their hearts. This kind of power had completely exceeded their expectations.
"Looks like my judgment was wrong!" Ruan Shizhi said.
"Same for me. I'm afraid that even if a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator came, they wouldn't be able to cross this lightning lake. The Heavenly Purple Lightning of the Heavens, only a Divine Transformation Stage cultivator would have a chance. I didn't think that there would actually be such a thing here!" Shui Mochan shook her head and immediately dismissed the idea of entering the lightning lake to temper her body. She didn't want to die.
The two of them pondered for a moment, then split up to find a suitable place to cultivate.
Of the two of them, one was of the metal attribute, while the other was of the water attribute. Both of them could borrow the power of lightning to temper their bodies. Their purpose for coming here was also for this. However, from the looks of it now, they could only attract some lightning from the shore to temper their bodies. Entering the lightning lake was out of the question, not to mention the Lightning Divine Palace that was so far away but right in front of them.
On the other side of the lightning lake, a figure slowly walked out from behind a rock and stood at the edge of the lake. His aura was concealed, and no one could detect him at all.
However, the lightning lake seemed to have sensed something. The lightning that had turned into liquid within it surged violently. Following that, numerous faint purple lightning snakes that were different from the surrounding lightning appeared. They flickered at the edge of the lake, as if they were swimming in the water.
At this moment, the young man in the black windbreaker with red clouds took a step forward and slowly squatted down. He extended his right hand and directly inserted it into the lightning lake. In the next moment, faint purple lightning snakes instantly spread over his body. However, he acted as if nothing had happened. Instead, a faint smile appeared on his face, as if he was enjoying it very much!
Within the lightning of the Heavenly Purple Lightning, a black ring could be faintly seen on the ring finger of the young man's right hand that he had extended into the lightning lake. There was a dark red 'Zhu' character on it!
