About half an hour later, the group clearly felt the rumbling sound of thunder ahead.
The sound grew louder and louder, as if a thousand horses were galloping, making one feel deeply shocked just by hearing it.
Looking ahead, there was an extremely huge mountain range, entirely surrounded by countless thousand-year-old Thunder Wood trees.
Each tree had densely packed Thunder Runes engraved on its trunk, making them extraordinary.
Looking up at the sky, they saw dark clouds covering the sky, with bolts of thunder tearing through the sky like silver serpents, fiercely striking down at the mountain range below.
Every bolt of thunder came with dazzling light and deafening roars, making for a magnificent scene.
Before they could truly approach, Zhou Qing could already clearly feel the Spiritual Qi around them becoming incredibly violent.
However, due to cultivating the "Thunder Sword Skills" and the Thunder-shaped Sword Embryo in his Dantian, he quickly adapted.
As his gaze continued forward, he saw countless Suspended Stone Platforms on Thunder Mountain, arranged in an orderly manner in the air, with figures sitting cross-legged on almost every platform.
According to Lei Lie’s introduction, these stone platforms were entirely made of Thunder Magnet Stone, which could autonomously absorb Thunder Spiritual Qi from the heaven and earth, converting it into Power of the Thunder Spirit for cultivators to absorb.
In a sense, it’s another form of a mini Spirit Gathering Array.
This made Zhou Qing’s eyes brighten, and he became even more curious and expectant towards the Thunder Pool.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at the foot of Thunder Mountain.
Lei Lie looked at Zhou Qing and said, "I heard from my master that you wanted to use the Thunder Pool to further master the "Thunder Sword Skills" because of your cultivation?"
Zhou Qing nodded quickly and said, "That’s correct. I hope Lei brother can offer guidance."
Lei Lie smiled lightly and continued, "I’ve heard that "Thunder Sword Skills" are mastered by Elder Duanmu, a Great Divine Technique that cleverly combines thunder and Sword Qi."
"Back then, our Golden Thunder Sect paid a great price in hopes of acquiring it, but Elder Duanmu never parted with it. Unexpectedly, you have the fortune to cultivate it, indicating your exceptional talent."
Zhou Qing was stunned; he didn’t know this.
Then, Lei Lie respectfully said to Mo Xingjian, "Elder Mo, you might know that Thunder Mountain of our Golden Thunder Sect is divided into ten levels due to the varying strength of the thunder. The thunder outside is relatively weak, becoming stronger as you go inward."
"The Thunder Pool is located at the deepest tenth level, guarded by Elder Gong Zhen. The thunder spreading from the Thunder Pool through each level can be used for cultivation."
"However, note that only those at the Nascent Soul Realm can enter the deepest three levels, otherwise, it would be life-threatening."
Lei Lie’s meaning was clear: you can cultivate using the Thunder Pool from any Suspended Stone Platform on Thunder Mountain, but only up to the seventh level.
Mo Xingjian nodded slightly, showing that he understood, and then looked at Zhou Qing with some concern in his eyes.
Zhou Qing was full of excitement and anticipation, and immediately bowed towards Lei Lie, saying, "Thank you, Lei brother. I’ll go first."
"Be careful!" Mo Xingjian quickly cautioned.
Seeing Zhou Qing controlling his sword towards one of the stone platforms, Yan Xiaohu’s eyes rolled and he immediately approached Mo Xingjian with a smile, "Master, since we’re here, I also want to check it out."
Mo Xingjian turned to look at Yan Xiaohu.
From the start, Yan Xiaohu had insisted on coming along, and now, seeing his eager expression, knowing him well, Mo Xingjian was sure he was up to no good.
"I have no other intentions, just really admire Thunder Mountain. Look how majestic and magnificent it is. Those senior and junior brothers look just like Thunder Gods, making me eager to experience it closely."
Yan Xiaohu quickly buttered him up, making Lei Lie, standing aside, smile proudly.
Lei Lie said, "Elder Mo, there are many vacant stone platforms. Since Yan has such an interest, let him try. It shouldn’t be an issue."
Since Lei Lie had spoken, Mo Xingjian had no choice but to agree, but quietly sent a message to Yan Xiaohu: "Don’t cause any trouble."
Yan Xiaohu immediately made funny faces and replied jokingly, "Don’t worry, I’ll be good and won’t cause trouble. Just relax, Master."
Mo Xingjian rolled his eyes.
After Yan Xiaohu left, Lei Lie said, "Elder Mo, accommodations have been arranged. Rest assured, if there’s danger, the elders in the Divinity Transformation Realm on Thunder Mountain will act."
Mo Xingjian thought for a moment and shook his head, "I think staying here is good. I need to take them back as soon as they’re done."
Especially since Zhou Qing was now in a special condition of Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown, and with that unreliable third disciple, he couldn’t leave at ease and preferred staying nearby for safety.
At this moment, Zhou Qing selected a stone platform, entered, and immediately felt a pure Power of Thunder surrounding him. The feeling was quite miraculous as if the thunder had become much gentler and more controllable than outside.
