Chapter 219: Chapter 211: I Want to Challenge My Limits
Moments later.
Under the guidance of Shanyang, Chen Zhixing and Dugu Ni entered the Five Elements Thunder Sect.
The Five Elements Thunder Sect is composed of five mountains, resembling a gigantic hand reaching into the sky, towering and awesome, straight into the clouds.
Once Chen Zhixing and Dugu Ni were settled within the Sect to rest.
"Shanyang, come over here!"
Yunxiao glared at Shanyang and pulled him aside.
There were certain things he needed to have a serious talk with Shanyang about!
...
...
At the same time.
Celestial Gate City.
Li Mansion.
"Quiet!"
Li Changsheng held a brush in his hand, writing the word ’quiet’ repeatedly on rice paper.
"Husband! The ninety-seventh concubine has given birth—a baby boy, with the Innate Water Spirit Body!"
A beautiful woman, with joy on her face, swayed gracefully forward.
"Hmm, not bad."
Li Changsheng responded indifferently, nodding slightly.
He now had nearly two hundred children; the birth of another son hardly stirred his emotions.
"Ordinary blessings have little effect on me now; to advance my cultivation further, only the birth of a truly extraordinary offspring would do."
Li Changsheng sighed lightly, appearing slightly troubled.
"Husband, is there something troubling you?"
The beautiful woman stepped delicately beside Li Changsheng, gently dabbing a handkerchief on his forehead to wipe away the sweat.
Seeing Li Changsheng not responding.
The beautiful woman smiled, "Husband, recently a brother and sister pair came to our city. The brother is quite peculiar, wrapped entirely in bandages, with a head of gray-white hair, while the sister is stunningly beautiful, bewitching many men in the city."
"Oh?"
Li Changsheng raised an eyebrow.
Perhaps because all his concubines were notably beautiful.
Now, in Celestial Gate City, people’s standards for judging women had become more critical.
Ordinary women couldn’t catch the eyes of those in Celestial Gate City.
"Husband, I saw that woman; she has an innate seductive charm, yet her eyes are moving, possessing a kind of contrasting beauty. To be honest, few of us sisters combined could match her beauty."
The beautiful woman laughed softly as she spoke.
At her words, Li Changsheng’s eyes showed a sign of interest.
It wasn’t the description of the woman’s beauty that intrigued him.
By this point, beauty no longer stirred his heart.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he was completely immune to female charms.
To him, even the most beautiful woman was but a skeleton covered in flesh.
What genuinely intrigued him was the hidden information in his concubine’s words.
How could such a beautiful woman stand unscathed in Celestial Gate City without some measure of strength?
"What is the background of that woman?" Li Changsheng asked.
"I don’t know... but I did sense a slight fox demon aura from her; it’s likely she’s not completely of the Human Race."
"Fox demon?"
Li Changsheng’s eyebrows arched higher, his interest piqued.
The offspring born from ordinary human women, with the blessings from the Method of More Children, More Blessings, could no longer help him much.
If he were to father a half-demon offspring with a demon woman...
Perhaps this could carve out a new path?
"Husband, your expression... didn’t you once say that only union with Human Race women was your bottom line?" The beautiful woman, noting the interest in Li Changsheng’s eyes, slightly pursed her lips.
"Lead the way."
Li Changsheng put down the brush in his hand, speaking deeply:
"I wish to meet her and challenge my own bottom line."
...
...
In the blink of an eye.
Three days passed.
During these three days, Chen Zhixing stayed in his room, waiting silently for the arrival of the Thunder Pool Ceremony.
On this morning.
Dong—!
The sound of a bell reverberated over the entire Five Elements Thunder Sect.
Soon after.
Chen Zhixing heard a knock on the door.
"Third Young Master, Senior Dugu, the ceremony has begun."
Shanyang’s respectful voice sounded from outside the door.
"It has finally begun."
Chen Zhixing slowly opened his eyes, a flash of brilliance rising in his gaze.
In the next moment.
Chen Zhixing stood up and stepped out of his room.
He saw that the entire Five Elements Thunder Sect had become extremely lively.
Numerous disciples of the Thunder Sect, clad in robes adorned with thunder patterns, headed excitedly towards the back of the five mountains.
"Go, go, go, today even if it means dying in the Thunder Pool, I must absorb a strand of the Five Elements Divine Thunder!"
"It’s taken so long to make it to the day of the Thunder Pool Ceremony, I must seize this chance to absorb more strands of the Five Elements Divine Thunder to refine my body and strive for a breakthrough to a minor realm!"
"Who do you think will absorb the most strands of the Five Elements Divine Thunder today?"
"During the last Thunder Pool Ceremony, the senior sister absorbed twenty strands of Divine Thunder, making her the disciple who absorbed the most strands of the Five Elements Divine Thunder in our time!"
"This time, I think the lead might still be taken by the senior sister, right?"
Disciples of the Thunder Sect, one by one, were discussing excitedly while quickly heading towards the Thunder Pool.
"Third Young Master, the Thunder Pool is forbidden in our Five Elements Thunder Sect. I know another secret path; let me take you through another route."
"Thank you, Brother Shan." Chen Zhixing smiled slightly.
"No trouble, no trouble, you’ve saved my life twice already, what’s this little matter?"
Shanyang chuckled, then glanced around. Finding a gap where no one was watching, he promptly led Chen Zhixing down a small path.
After twisting and turning along several bends in this path, the deafening rumble of thunder was heard.
Chen Zhixing looked ahead.
In the distance was a Thunder Pool several hundred feet in diameter!
Boom boom boom!!
Countless thick, multi-colored bolts of thunder surged from the ground, cascading like a waterfall, connecting heaven and earth!
The sound of thunder seemed to shake the cosmos, as if the world was collapsing, making people’s heads buzz.
At just a glance, there were no fewer than a thousand bolts of thunder in the pool!
Blue Wood God Thunder!
Golden Geng Metal Divine Thunder!
Azure Sunflower Water Divine Thunder!
Red Fire God Thunder!
Brown Earth God Thunder!
Over a thousand strands of the Five Elements Divine Thunder interwoven in the void, stirring a cataclysmic thunderstorm.
The atmosphere of destruction was so intense, it was daunting.
"Finally found it."
Chen Zhixing’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
If he could absorb all the Five Elements Divine Thunder in this pool, it would elevate his Thunder Tao Nine Extremes Heaven to an unprecedented level!
"Third Young Master, the Thunder Pool becomes more dangerous towards the center, please be cautious."
Shanyang hurriedly reminded, then quickly left.
He, as a Tao Seed disciple of the Five Elements Thunder Sect, couldn’t miss the ceremony.
At the same time.
In front of the Thunder Pool, there stood a high platform.
A burly elder with a pair of purple eyebrows sat at the center of the platform.
Beside him, a handsome young man with hair like a waterfall picked up a teacup and sipped his tea, eyes lowered.
Further aside were several talented youths.
They were none other than Sikong Nan of the Sikong family and several talents from the Longevity Celestial Pride Rankings.
This time, they were invited to observe the Thunder Pool Ceremony.
