“Can this even be considered a miraculous land such that treasures like the Lightning Essence Crystals can form?” Shang Xia entered the area in the clouds where he sealed off back then when he killed Feng Yezi.
More than half a year had passed, and a massive change happened to the area.
Chaotic remnant energy filled the area, along with space that was fluctuating and twisting strangely. There were all sorts of dipper qi Shang Xia left behind as well. The entire region was a place even Martial Dipper Realm experts wouldn’t step into if they had a choice.
Of course, Shang Xia wasn’t a part of them. The lightning that appeared from nowhere seemed to allow the Lightning Bird to realize that the area was where Feng Yezi lost his life back then.
The extremely chaotic dipper qi and world origin caused anyone who examined the area to feel their scalps going numb. If they were able to inspect it properly, they would discover that there was actually order in the chaos as the shattered space slowly repaired itself before transforming into a special region.
When Shang Xia brought the Lightning Bird into the storm cloud, the weak equilibrium that formed from the interaction of the chaotic dipper qi was shattered.
However, Shang Xia already discovered the special connection between the elements in the region. He released his Five Element Dipper Qi to restabilize the entire region.
“This entire region can be considered a natural Lightning Formation... That was formed with the five elements as its foundation. This is without a doubt something that appeared from the remains of the Five Element Space after it collapsed. There is a trace of a Wind Fate Dipper, and it was probably left behind by Feng Yezi.”
Shang Xia understood how the region formed, and it was something that appeared due to the special transformation and interaction of dipper qis. Even if Feng Yezi revived 10 or so times and Shang Xia killed him the same way, the same region might not be produced.
The strange phenomenon that created the special region could only be accomplished under very specific conditions.
The influence of the Wind Dipper Qi in the region seemed to come into play as the lightning that contained traces of Five Element Qi appeared in all directions to strike at the very center of the special space.
As the lightning bolts that contained different elements interacted with each other before fusing with each other, they finally transformed into a tiny crystal the size of Shang Xia’s finger. It contained the power of lightning, and it was none other than a Lightning Essence Crystal!
“Did you obtain those crystals from this place?” Shang Xia gasped while turning to stare at the Lightning Bird with a look of astonishment.
The Lightning Bird seemed to understand how weak the equilibrium of different dipper qis was in the area and knew it would shatter the peace if it was slightly careless. It didn’t dare to cry loudly and chirped barely louder than a whisper.
“How did you do it?” Shang Xia stared at the crystal and felt that even if he acted carefully, he wouldn’t be able to retrieve it without affecting his surroundings.
The Lightning Bird, that had been standing still on his shoulders the whole time, moved.
A silver streak emerged from Shang Xia’s shoulders and shot outwards. It formed a beautiful arc before returning.
The crystal disappeared, and it reappeared between the Lightning Bird’s beak. Even though it retrieved the crystal, there seemed to be a slight sense of discontent in its eyes.
The next second, it swallowed the crystal.
Earlier, the Lightning Bird showed off an ability even Martial Dipper Realm experts might not be able to achieve! Moreover, it seemed as though it had done it many times before.
After feeling the remnant lightning energy around the Lightning Bird as it flapped its wings, Shang Xia could tell that it actually reached the peak of the fourth rank!
Shang Xia immediately understood. “Are you planning to borrow the power contained here to gather a Lightning Origin Dipper before attempting a breakthrough to the fifth rank?!”
A clear, but soft cry came from the Lightning Bird’s beak. It seemed to be trying to convince Shang Xia to help it in its breakthrough.
Turning serious, Shang Xia growled, “You better think this through. Attempting a breakthrough here is extremely dangerous. There are many Martial Extermination Realm experts in the region trying to gain inspiration from the remnant energy. There might be someone who discovers this place and shatters the delicate environment, causing your breakthrough to fail. In serious cases, your life might even be threatened.”
Releasing another soft but determined cry, the Lightning Bird seemed to have already made up its mind.
Both Shang Xia and the Lightning Bird knew how rare a chance to enter the Martial Dipper Realm was.
Even if the Lightning Bird reached the peak of the fourth rank and wanted to step into the fifth rank, it would still need a lot of accumulation even if it could receive Shang Xia’s help.
With the special region that was filled with lightning, it could save a lot of time and assist it in its final transformation.
“Alright. If you’re sure, I can definitely help you with the initial guidance of energy. You will have to rely on yourself for the rest...” Shang Xia was thinking about how to make full use of the special region of land and seeing as the Lightning Bird was determined, Shang Xia summoned the Five Element Ring.
Five Element Dipper Qi emerged from his body and when it reached the peak, it started to assimilate into the special region around him while maintaining the miraculous balance.
Dense lightning emerged and poured into the very center of the space that Shang Xia was calling the Five Element Region now that he imbued his dipper qi into it.
He yelled loudly the next moment, “What are you waiting for?! Hurry up!”
The Lightning Bird released a sharp cry before turning into a streak of silver light that shot out from Shang Xia’s shoulder. It leaped into the center of the Five Element Region.
A low rumble started to spread from the center of the dense storm clouds. However, a strange multi-colored light emerged and suppressed everything that was going on.
There were at least 30 Martial Extermination Realm experts 100 miles around them, and even though Shang Xia managed to suppress the disturbance, most of them felt it. There were several who had enough power to attempt to probe out what was going on within.
Too bad for them, a powerful aura emerged from the depths of the cloud and scared them all away before they could come close.
When everything was going on, a giant ball of lightning formed from countless lightning bolts in the surroundings and stood at the very center of the Five Element Region.
