Chapter 104

Zi Chen had already given up hope, but he didn't expect Wang Xian 'er to really think of such a place. His eyes lit up as he asked, "Where is it?"

Wang Xian 'er smiled mysteriously and said, "The Lightning Region!"

"Lightning Region?" Zi Chen was stunned. He had never heard of this place before.

"The Lightning Region is very famous. It's one of the most mysterious places in the southern region. There are endless lightning bolts there that will never dissipate. It's like a lightning field, very mysterious.

"The lightning energy there is like a lightning dragon. Its power is peerless, and it's very difficult for ordinary people to get close. Only a few true experts can get close to the lightning region and extract some lightning energy to refine their life source magic treasures."

"The weakest people who can get close to the Lightning Region are Zephyr Realm experts. They come from all over the southern continent. If we go there, we might be able to find an expert to protect us." Wang Xian 'er said.

"There are lightning bolts there all year round. How is that possible? Lightning is born out of thin air. It has no beginning and no end. It disappears in the blink of an eye. How can it never dissipate?" Zi Chen's heart trembled. He was very curious about the Lightning Region.

The Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering Art introduced the Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering Art. Absorbing lightning energy to temper one's body. The Lightning Region was very special. Zi Chen needed to understand it carefully.

"Although this matter is strange, it's the truth. If it were someone else, they wouldn't be able to give you a reasonable explanation. Coincidentally, I know some secrets."

Wang Xian 'er was wearing the clothes of a commoner. Her face was painted with a layer of dark yellow, but it was still beautiful. There was a unique charm in it.

She smiled. It was like a hundred flowers blooming. The fragrance of the flowers brushed against one's face. "There are rumors that the Lightning Region was created by the Lightning Divine Palace."

Before Zi Chen could ask, Wang Xian 'er explained, "The Lightning Divine Palace has appeared many times in the history of the Tianwu Continent. Every time it appears, it will bring endless bloodshed. It's said that the Lightning Divine Palace has the inheritance of the Lightning God. Once one obtains it, they will become a god, an immortal existence. The entire Tianwu Continent will tremble because of them."

"Are there really gods in the world?" Zi Chen was shocked.

Who in the world could live forever? Even the strongest cultivators, whose lifespan far exceeded that of ordinary people, would still reach the end of their life. And in the endless legends, gods were the most legendary.

This was an existence that even ordinary mortals knew about.

Gods were undying and inextinguishable. They were lofty existences with magical power that reached the heavens. They could call the wind and summon the rain. They could pluck the sun and seize the moon. They could control the heavens and the earth. They were the most powerful existences in the world. Gods were immortal and would not die.

This was a legend, and it could also be said to be a type of belief. Zi Chen had long heard of it, but he never thought that there would really be a place like the Lightning Divine Palace, where the inheritance of a God still existed.

"This is just a legend that has existed for countless years. No one has ever obtained the inheritance, and the gods have never appeared before. No one has been able to prove it." Wang Xian`er explained, appearing very calm.

This legend had been mentioned in the ancient books of the various powers. She had long known about it, so she was not surprised at all.

"However, the Lightning Divine Palace does indeed exist. But every time it appears, what it brings is not the inheritance of a God, but slaughter and destruction. In the past, many powers and super clans had fallen in the fight for the inheritance of the Lightning Divine Palace. The super powers that were once incomparably prominent and intimidating for an era were also destroyed because of the appearance of the Lightning Divine Palace. Such situations can be found everywhere. Almost every time the Lightning Divine Palace appears, there would be one or two super powers that would disappear."

"The appearance of the Lightning Divine Palace would attract the attention of all the powers. In order to obtain the inheritance of a God, they would use all their strength and resources to obtain the inheritance at all costs. Among them, there were some powers that had fallen in the journey to the Lightning Divine Palace. There were also some powers that had disappeared in the Lightning Divine Palace. In short, it is an ominous object that is filled with temptation."

Zi Chen listened quietly. His emotions were like turbulent waves that could not be calmed down for a long time. He could not imagine how much resources those super powers had, but he could imagine that a large group of Zephyr Realm experts, or even experts that had surpassed the Zephyr Realm, had fallen in large groups, and even more experts were rushing towards a large hall that was dazzling with lightning.

"The reason why the Lightning Region is so strange and has lightning that doesn't dissipate is also related to the Lightning Divine Palace. There are rumors that when the Lightning Divine Palace appeared last time, a super power in the Southern Region used all their resources to attack the Lightning Divine Palace. That battle was unprecedented and brought about a great impact."

"In the end, that super power dissipated, and the Southern Region that was once the Lightning Divine Palace was divided by many other powers. There were seven great cities, three great sects, and many other powers.

During that battle, it was said that a corner of the Lightning Divine Palace was shattered. That corner fell from the sky and turned into a Lightning Region. Since then, it has never declined and stood tall in the Southern Continent, becoming one of the most mysterious places in the Southern Continent. "

Wang Xian 'er explained softly, and Zi Chen was extremely shocked.

There was actually such a strange place in the world, and there was an endless amount of lightning energy there. To Zi Chen, it was a kind of attraction. He had to go there.

He had already refined the True Energy Pill, but his strength had stopped at the pinnacle of True Energy Level Ten. Now, Zi Chen urgently wanted to increase his strength and reach the Xiantian Realm as soon as possible.

Another two days passed, and Wang Xian 'er's injuries were completely healed. The reinforcements from Yunxia City had yet to arrive, so the two of them finally decided to set off. But before that, the two of them had to go in the direction of Yunxia City to try their luck.

On a dark night, Zi Chen bade farewell to the villagers. Everyone came to send him off, and their eyes were filled with reluctance.

"Zi Chen, come when you are free. Qingshui Village will be your home." The old Village Chief was trembling as he passed a bag to Zi Chen.

"Before we leave, we don't have anything good to give you. Zi Chen, take this jerky. It will be delicious on the road, so be careful." The butcher also took out a bag of jerky.

"Be careful. Those black-robed men haven't left yet. Yesterday, when I went hunting in the mountains, I heard the sound of that strange bird." The hunter also went forward and took out some clothes.

Zi Chen was very touched and refused repeatedly. He knew that the lives of the villagers were not good.

"Take it. You are running for your lives, so you need to have enough food. Xiao Xian's injuries have just healed, so she needs food to recuperate."

"Yes, take it. Don't let Xiao Xian suffer on the road. Such a beautiful lady was hurt too badly last time. You are a man, so you have to protect her."

The villagers spoke one after another, and Zi Chen could not refuse. He could only take some food. This was something they needed, and the rest was dispensable. If they were running for their lives, they could not bring too many things.

The two of them finally left. Wang Xian 'er's eyes sparkled. After living here for so long, she was naturally clear about the living conditions of the villagers. However, when she was injured, she had meat and meat soup for every meal. To her, it was naturally nothing. However, to the villagers, these things were as important as their lives.

The villagers took turns to take care of Zi Chen. Every day, they would bring some nourishing things. There was even one day when a hunter almost lost his life for a small ginseng. However, he still managed to bring the ginseng back with his injured body.

The two of them walked in the mountains. They rested during the day and traveled at night. This time, it was Wang Xian 'er who took care of Zi Chen. The latter's injuries had healed, and her strength was much stronger than Zi Chen's.

Two days later, the two of them were ambushed in a mountain forest.

It was a group of masked men who were good at concealment and assassination. They appeared silently, but when they attacked, they were like thunder. Mountains collapsed and the earth cracked. Their injuries were extensive, and their killing intent was boundless.

Caught off guard, Wang Xian 'er suffered a small loss.

"They are from the Assassin Pavilion. I didn't expect them to come to Yunxia City to assassinate me."

The target of these masked men was clear. They were targeting Wang Xian 'er. If they attacked Zi Chen, the latter would definitely die.

In the battle in the forest, Zi Chen witnessed Wang Xian 'er's powerful strength. She was young, but she was worthy of being called a genius. Red light flickered around her, dyeing half the sky red. Streaks of energy shot out like spiritual snakes, but the power was extraordinary.

After a fierce battle, all the masked men were killed. She was at her peak, and her combat strength was terrifying.

Zi Chen was under a lot of pressure when he was with Wang Xian 'er. Both of them were about the same age, but the gap between their realms and combat strength was too big.

Along the way, she was taking care of him.

Towards her enemies, Wang Xian 'er killed decisively. She was unusually cold, like an ice that wouldn't melt for thousands of years. She hated evil and killed with every move.

In the end, the two of them killed their way out of the forest and decided to return to the Thunder Region. Obviously, there were more masked men on the road to Yunxia City.

"Now that we are both being hunted down, there is no need to worry about who is implicating who." Wang Xian 'er smiled faintly. There were traces of blood on her red lips.

The road to the Thunder Region was not peaceful. Other than the Martial Ancestor's men, there were also masked men. They were all in the True Energy Realm, but they were good at concealment and assassination. Their target was Wang Xian 'er, and they could attack her from all directions.

There was even one time when they hid in the swamp and attacked in an instant, making it impossible to guard against.

Among them, the pressure from the Martial Ancestor was the greatest, because the other party had a Zephyr Realm expert. This kind of existence could kill them with a single palm, so the two of them were very careful.

The roc bird chirped in the sky, constantly reminding Zi Chen of their location. This made the two of them suffer a lot.

During the half a month of escaping, Zi Chen and Wang Xian 'er were injured again. The pursuers were too strong, and they even encountered a Zephyr Realm expert. The two of them were seriously injured, and they spent a lot of effort to jump into a large river and luckily into an underground river. Only then did they manage to escape.

Another half a month later, the two of them were covered in wounds. Zi Chen supported Wang Xian 'er as they walked slowly in the forest. Zi Chen had a special physique, and his willpower was strong, but his strength was not complimentary.

After a month of escaping, the two of them had already reached their limit.

Another day, when Zi Chen was supporting Wang Xian 'er, he suddenly felt a vast aura in front of them. It was like the might of the heavens, bringing with it a huge pressure.

Zi Chen's expression changed, thinking that they had encountered another pursuer. During this period of time, he was really scared of being killed.

But at this time, Wang Xian 'er exclaimed, "We're here, we're here, we're finally in the Thunder Region."
