Chapter 81

After that, Zi Chen became a frequent visitor to the place where the ancient books were placed. While he was deciphering the ancient characters, he also read many ancient books. Although there were no cultivation methods in them, there were many introductions, such as the environment, spirit herbs, strange beasts, and others. Zi Chen even saw a record about the origin array.

After a few more days, Zi Chen finally managed to decipher all the words that he could understand and memorize them deeply in his mind. It was also on this day that the ancient book finally flew back after being worn down again and again, completely disappearing.

After more than ten days, Zi Chen recognized the ancient characters during the day and calmly cultivated at night to stabilize his realm. The previously unstable tenth level True Qi was also completely stabilized during the ten days of meditation. Moreover, in these ten days, Zi Chen refined a lot of True Qi Dans.

Zi Chen's schedule was very full, but there was a limit to it.

During the day, he studied the Nine Lightning Deaths, and at night, he cultivated the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Art. As a core disciple, he could use a lot of True Qi Dans, and his cultivation was also slowly increasing. However, if he wanted to break through to the Xiantian realm, it would probably take a long time.

The Nine Lightning Deaths had thousands of characters. They were difficult to understand and were all ancient characters. After Zi Chen memorized them, he would also flip through some ancient books to understand the meaning.

One day, two days, several days passed.

Someone from the Zhan Martial Ancestor came again, asking when he would return the gambling money. He also said that the Xuan Martial Ancestor was urging him.

The Third Elder was not in charge and was somewhat anxious. At this moment, the Grand Elder appeared.

"Tell them to wait a little longer. Something has happened to our Nimbus Martial Ancestor and it needs to be dealt with. At the same time, tell them that we are willing to take out two True Qi Skills as compensation." The Grand Elder finished speaking and left.

After a full half month, Zi Chen still had not reached the entry level of the Nine Lightning Deaths. He was somewhat depressed. In addition, he sensed the lightning space every day, but he did not see any trace of the lightning youth.

Zi Chen was a little anxious. He had wasted so much time here. He was unwilling to give up and continued to comprehend the meaning of the Nine Passing Thunderbolts.

Several more days passed. While Zi Chen was comprehending, the space of thunder and lightning that had been calm for a long time began to surge once more. It was like a giant black hole had appeared, and all the thunder and lightning energy gathered in one place.

"What's this?" Zi Chen's eyes lit up.

He had seen this scene many times before. After the thunder and lightning surged, a lightning youth would appear. Zi Chen had never realized that he had such high expectations for this lightning youth.

As the lightning dissipated, a young man made of lightning appeared in front of them. He had the same appearance as Zi Chen, but his body was formed by millions of lightning bolts, like an illusion. When he appeared, his entire body was filled with a mysterious aura.

The lightning young man appeared and shot a cold glance at Zi Chen. Then, rays of silver light flashed and he turned into a bolt of lightning.

This bolt of lightning was silver-white and dazzling. It was so dazzling that Zi Chen couldn't open his eyes. In the blink of an eye, it flashed and disappeared.

The Nine Passing Thunderbolts had already shown the first passing. Like a flash of lightning, it moved with extreme speed. In an instant, it was already far away.

Zi Chen sat cross-legged, quietly comprehending the concept of the lightning young man.

The young man turned into a bolt of lightning. When he took a step, it was as if the ground had shrunk to an inch. With a single step, he was hundreds of meters away. His speed was so fast that it was like real lightning.

Zi Chen calmed his heart and comprehended, trying hard to recall the scene of the young man.

The Nine Passing Thunderbolts. The young man had only comprehended the essence of the True Meaning of Passing. Although it was only a single step, the speed was incomparably fast, far surpassing his Ethereal Steps. Once he comprehended the essence of the True Meaning of Passing, Zi Chen guessed that even a Xiantian realm existence would be left far behind.

With only a single step, the young man practiced dozens of times. Then, he took another step. The young man's body dissipated, turning into a bolt of lightning and dissipating from the space of thunder and lightning. This time, he truly dissipated.

"What's going on?"

Zi Chen, who was comprehending, opened his confused eyes. In the past, as long as he was not attacked by the lightning young man, as long as he did not leave, the young man would always appear, tirelessly practicing combat skills for him. He would never disappear for no reason. But today, everything was beyond his expectations.

In the space of thunder and lightning, the lightning young man was no longer there. It was useless to continue staying here. Zi Chen could only withdraw his thoughts.

When Zi Chen opened his eyes, he felt a sense of hunger. It was as if he had not eaten for ten days or half a month. Moreover, this feeling of hunger was not in his stomach, but in his heart.

It was as if there was a hungry life there.

"Could it be that the lightning young man consumed too much?" Zi Chen frowned and immediately swallowed the entire bottle of True Qi Dan.

His heart trembled, sending out a huge suction force, directly swallowing the energy of the entire bottle of True Qi Dan. Zi Chen's feeling of hunger gradually disappeared.

"This is too scary. I'm just practicing footwork. Don't tell me that every time I have to consume a bottle of True Qi Dan?" Regarding this huge consumption, Zi Chen was somewhat speechless.

Recently, he had been swallowing bottle after bottle of True Qi Dan. Even if he was a core disciple, he could use them at will. However, this still attracted a lot of attention. There were also elders who asked Zi Chen if he could use up so many True Qi Dans. Moreover, they clearly told Zi Chen that True Qi Dans could not be used for trade.

Zi Chen forced a smile and could only nod. He told the other side that he really did use them. Moreover, in front of the other side, he ate a bottle of True Qi Dan as if he was eating jelly beans. After there was no reaction, the other side believed him and increased the amount of True Qi Dan for Zi Chen.

With today's matter, Zi Chen needed even more True Qi Dans.

Since then, Zi Chen's meals had become True Qi Dans. Every day, he would eat these things as if they were his meals.

In the space of thunder and lightning, the lightning young man repeatedly practiced the first step of Nine Lightning Fleeting. Zi Chen sat cross-legged, quietly comprehending.

"Peng!"

After dozens of practice, the lightning young man had consumed too much True Qi Dan and once again disappeared.

"This thing is really not ordinary. If I can master this step technique, who can stop me?" Zi Chen opened his eyes and withdrew from the space of thunder and lightning.

These days, he would enter the space of thunder and lightning at least three times a day. Then, he would carefully comprehend the Nine Lightning Fleeting. After he went out, he would still meditate and comprehend.

Half a month passed by very quickly. Zi Chen had entered a deep state of enlightenment dozens of times. To others, this was an opportunity to gain enlightenment, but to Zi Chen, it was like eating a meal or drinking a cup of water. It was too ordinary.

Finally, after nearly a hundred times of comprehension, he finally entered the entry level of Nine Lightning Fleeting.

In the space of thunder and lightning, Zi Chen stepped out. His figure turned into lightning and disappeared in the blink of an eye. His speed was very fast. With only a flash of silver light, he was already hundreds of meters away.

"Finally, I entered the entry level."

Zi Chen sighed, and then smiled bitterly, "I consumed nearly a hundred bottles of Zhen Qi Dan, and nearly a hundred deep level comprehensions, and only then did I enter the entry level. If I let others practice it, I am afraid they would not be able to enter the entry level in their lifetime.

This Nine Lightning Fleeting is really difficult to practice. Fortunately, I have become a core disciple and have the care of the Taishang Elder. I can use an endless supply of Zhen Qi Dan, otherwise, it would be useless. "

After sighing, Zi Chen was very happy. This breakthrough, he needed to show off.

His thoughts emerged from the space of thunder and lightning. Zi Chen was in his small room. In an instant, the room was filled with silver light. It was as if there was a lightning bolt running around in the room. Because the speed was too fast and the room was too small, it brought about gusts of wind. Then, there was a burst of crackling sounds. Almost half of the jade decorations in the room were broken.

Zi Chen stopped, his eyes full of joy.

"This Nine Lightning Fleeting is really terrifying. I have only entered the entry level, but my speed is already so fast. Ordinary Xiantian footwork cannot catch up with me." Zi Chen was very excited.

"However, there are advantages and disadvantages. In the future, I will need to prepare some Qi Returning Pills. In just a moment, half of my Zhen Qi has been consumed."

Fast speed, high consumption. Zi Chen had already expected this. Moreover, this consumption was also within the scope of Zi Chen's control. Now, he had nothing but a lot of Zhen Qi Dans.

Just as he walked out of the room, Zi Chen saw the Taishang Elder. The latter was standing outside the door, looking at him with a smile.

"Elder!" Zi Chen respectfully saluted.

"Just now, I heard a crackling sound in your room. Did you have a breakthrough in your cultivation?" The Taishang Elder asked, his eyes filled with joy.

"En!"

Zi Chen nodded. He was very excited, "After almost two months of cultivation, I have finally entered the entry level of the Nine Lightning Fleeting."

The Taishang Elder's mouth twitched and his beard trembled. He had used it for more than ten years and still hadn't entered the entry level. Zi Chen had only entered the entry level for two months, but he said it was finally, as if it had been a long time.

However, the Taishang Elder didn't care. Zi Chen was a special person, and it was normal for him to be special. Although he felt uncomfortable that he had finally used it, it didn't stop him from looking forward to Zi Chen's progress.

"Is that so? Show it to me."

The Taishang Elder couldn't wait any longer. He took a step forward and grabbed Zi Chen's clothes before he could react. In a flash, the Taishang Elder dashed out of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor.

Zi Chen could only hear the whistling of the wind in his ears. He couldn't feel anything else. Under the extreme speed, he couldn't even open his eyes, so he couldn't see his surroundings at all.

The excitement from breaking through the Nine Lightning Fleeting was instantly quelled. There was always someone better than him. His speed was nothing compared to the Taishang Elder's at this moment.

When the Taishang Elder put down Zi Chen, he realized that he was already tens of miles away from the sect and in an open space.

"This …!" Zi Chen was shocked. In just a few breaths, he had already traveled tens of miles.

"Come, let me see your Nine Lightning Fleeting." The Taishang Elder said expectantly.

"I think it's better not to. Elder, your speed is much faster than mine. My speed isn't enough." Zi Chen said dejectedly.

"Hey, you little brat, how can you compare to me? I'm already so old, and I've been cultivating for so many years. You're still so young. You still have a long way to go." The Taishang Elder scolded jokingly.

Zi Chen came to his senses, and a hint of gratitude appeared in his eyes. Then, he executed the Nine Lightning Fleeting in front of the Taishang Elder.

"Whoosh!"

Like a bolt of lightning, Zi Chen's body was surrounded by a boundless silver light. With a single step, he disappeared from his original spot. He was like a bolt of lightning, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Zi Chen continuously moved through the forest. His speed was simply too fast. From a distance, it looked like a bolt of lightning with a long tail flashing through the forest.

"This … the Nine Lightning Fleeting is truly extraordinary. It's not an exaggeration to call it the fastest under the heavens. I can't believe a mere Stage Ten True Energy can achieve such speed." The Taishang Elder's eyes shone. He was very satisfied with the speed of the Nine Lightning Fleeting.
