"This stone platform is truly marvelous, like a hen, it directly removes the violent part of the power of thunder, leaving only the pure part for cultivation."
Zhou Qing murmured to himself, then quickly took out a jade slip and sent his Divine Sense into it.
But he found that inside, it was still the boundless scene of a sea of thunder, with not a single word visible.
"Could it be that the power of thunder here is not dense enough?"
Zhou Qing put away the jade slip, looked toward the deeper part of Thunder Mountain, and after a brief thought, walked straight inside.
At this moment, Yan Xiaohu also landed on a stone platform, carefully glanced around to ensure no one noticed him, then immediately showed an excited expression.
Then, he sneakily took out a Purple Gold Gourd from his chest and quietly opened its mouth.
In an instant, a powerful suction vortex came from the gourd’s mouth, continuously absorbing the thunder qi around it.
Seeing this, Yan Xiaohu immediately beamed with joy.
"I’ve struck it rich! This time I’ve truly struck it rich!"
It turned out that after his observations during this period, he found out that the items most frequently exchanged at the sect’s exchange hall were Healing Elixirs, Thunder-Invoking Talismans used for attacks, and various Magical Treasure Weapons.
He couldn’t do anything about the other two, but he could learn the Thunder-Invoking Talisman by himself.
Before coming to Thunder Mountain, he had done his homework and learned that the hardest part of making Thunder-Invoking Talismans was inscribing the thunder symbols on them.
And now with this pure power of thunder, it was different. He could make a large number of low-tier Thunder-Invoking Talismans in a short time.
The usage is simple too, just throw it towards the enemy to create a thunder bombardment area, disrupting their formation.
After absorbing, Yan Xiaohu immediately rushed to another stone platform...
Not far away, seeing Yan Xiaohu’s reckless behavior, Mo Xingjian helplessly covered his forehead and sighed.
Meanwhile, Zhou Qing had reached the fourth layer of stone platforms. Compared to the outer layers, there were significantly fewer disciples of the Golden Thunder Sect here.
Even from time to time, lightning would directly strike down on the stone platforms from the clouds above.
At this moment, Zhou Qing finally saw lines of text appear on the jade slip, but unfortunately, it was only a small portion.
"Forget it, let’s wait a little longer. The thunder qi here seems to be greatly beneficial to my Thunder-shaped Sword Embryo."
Zhou Qing put away the jade slip and began to operate the "Thunder Sword Skills," absorbing the surrounding power of thunder to further temper his Thunder-shaped Sword Embryo.
As time passed, when Zhou Qing sensed that the thunder power here was gradually weakening, he stood up and prepared to head to the next layer.
At this moment, two bolts of thunder suddenly struck from the sky.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing didn’t show any intention to dodge. Instead, he reached out and grabbed the two bolts of thunder.
In an instant, the powerful electric current spread throughout his body, making him shiver all over.
But soon, the pain gradually transformed into an extremely pleasurable tingling sensation.
Zhou Qing’s lips curled into a slight smile, and he headed straight to the fifth layer. After a brief stop for cultivation, he proceeded to the sixth and then the seventh layer...
On the seventh layer, Zhou Qing sat cross-legged, tightly holding a jade slip. Thunder arcs surged around his body like spiritual snakes, entwined with strands of sword qi, which were extremely sharp. At this moment, he seemed to have completely merged with the power of thunder and sword qi.
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, with thunder light flickering in his pupils.
"At present, I can only see one-third of it. Its complexity is several times that of the first three techniques. If I can thoroughly master it, it will probably rival the ’Golden Crow Burning Sky Scripture’!"
Zhou Qing murmured excitedly.
The "Golden Crow Burning Sky Scripture" was a heritage treasure skill from the bloodline of the Golden Crow in the Pocket World.
He had only cultivated it to a minor achievement stage so far, but even so, when he killed Song Yuan and Meng Xing before, it displayed great power.
The "Thunder Sword Skills" in his hands, especially the fourth technique, was the crowning achievement. It elevated this already impressive Divine Technique to unimaginable heights, its potential immeasurable.
"The person who created this sword technique must be at least a Spirit Severing Realm expert, or even stronger!"
Zhou Qing exclaimed in amazement.
Then, he slowly stood up and looked at a barrier in front of him.
Once he crossed over, it would be the eighth layer, only accessible to Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
Just as he was about to take a step, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him without any warning, blocking his path.
"I am Gong Zhen!" the elderly man spoke slowly, his voice deep and full of undeniable authority.
Zhou Qing’s heart tightened, and he hurriedly bowed respectfully, "Junior Zhou Qing of the Taiqing Sect greets Senior!"
It turned out that this person was Elder Gong Zhen, the guardian of the Thunder Pool, who had previously had a relationship with his martial uncle, Gao Xuan.
When his master and the others came to aid the Golden Thunder Sect, the first person they contacted was Elder Gong Zhen.
Gong Zhen nodded slightly. He had already been informed about the Taiqing Sect disciples coming to the Thunder Pool for cultivation. Looking at Zhou Qing, he asked, "Was it you who killed Song Yuan and Meng Xing?"
