Chapter 81 - Ultimate Speed

In the time it took to decipher the ancient characters, he had read many ancient books. Although there were no cultivation techniques among them, there were many introductions, such as environment, elixirs, beasts, and other things. Zi Chen had even seen records of elemental formations.

A few days later, Zi Chen successfully deciphered all of the words he could understand and deeply engraved them in his mind. It was also on this day that the ancient book finally turned back into its original form and flew away, before completely dissipating.

In more than ten days of time, Zi Chen had recognized the ancient characters during the day, and calmly cultivated at night to stabilize his realm. His previously unstable ten stages of true qi had also completely stabilized during these ten days of peaceful cultivation, and in these ten days of time, Zi Chen had refined even more Zhen Qi Dan.

Zi Chen's time was extremely packed, but he had to take it easy.

As a core disciple, he could summon many Zhen Qi Dan s and his cultivation would also slowly increase. However, if he wanted to break through to innate state, it would take a very long time.

The lightning had dissipated, and reached a few thousand words, which were extremely difficult to understand. Furthermore, they were all ancient words, and after Zi Chen memorized them, he would also be able to read a few ancient books to understand the meaning behind them.

One day, two days, and several days pa.s.sed.

Someone from the War Martial Sect came again, and asked when they would return the bet, saying that the Black Turtle Sect had urged them to do so.

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

"Tell them to wait a little longer, something happened in our Spirit Martial Sect that needs to be dealt with. At the same time, tell them that we are willing to take out two true essence skills as compensation." With that, the Grand Elder left.

After an entire half a month, Zi Chen's lightning had still yet to reach the entrance. He was a little dejected, aside from sensing the Lightning s.p.a.ce every day, he didn't see any trace of the lightning youth.

Zi Chen was a little anxious, he had wasted a lot of time here. He was unwilling to give up, and continued to comprehend the meaning of thunder and lightning.

After another few days, the Lightning s.p.a.ce, who had been calm for a long while, started to surge again. It was as if a huge black hole had appeared, and all of the lightning energy was converging towards one place.

"This is?" Zi Chen's eyes lit up.

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

The lightning dissipated, and a youth dressed in lightning appeared in front of him. The youth had the same appearance as Zi Chen, but his body was surrounded by tens of thousands of lightning bolts, like a phantom. At this moment, he appeared, and his entire body was filled with a mysterious aura.

The Thunder youth appeared and shot Zi Chen a cold glance. Then, with a flash of silver light, he transformed into a bolt of lightning.

This bolt of lightning, was entirely silvery-white, and was dazzling to the eye. It pierced so hard that Zi Chen was unable to open his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace.

The thunder and lightning had disappeared, but at this moment, it was showing its first move. It was like a flash of lightning with extreme speed. In the blink of an eye, it was already far away.

Zi Chen sat cross-legged and quietly tried to comprehend the concept of the youth in lightning.

The young man turned into lightning, and every step he took seemed to shrink the earth into an inch. With a single step, he covered several hundred meters. His speed was so fast that it was as if he were truly lightning.

Zi Chen tried hard to calm his mind and comprehend the situation, trying to recall the scene with the youth.

Although coming back and forth was just a single step, the speed was simply endless, far surpa.s.sing his floating step. Once he comprehended the essence of the true meaning, Zi Chen guessed that even the existence of the innate state would be left far behind.

There was only one step back and forth, the young man practiced it dozens of times, then with another step forward, the young man's body disappeared, turning into a bolt of lightning, dissipating from the Lightning s.p.a.ce, this time truly dissipating.

"What's going on?" Zi Chen who was in the midst of comprehending opened his confused eyes. In the past, as long as he was not struck by the lightning youth's attack, and just as long as he did not leave, the youth would always appear. He would not be tired and practice his battle skills for him and would never disappear for no reason.

There were no longer any lightning youths in the Lightning s.p.a.ce. It was useless to continue staying here, so Zi Chen could only withdraw his thoughts.

When Zi Chen opened his eyes, he felt a wave of hunger that felt like he hadn't eaten in ten days or half a month. And this hunger was not in his stomach, but in his own heart.

It was as if there was a hungry life there.

"Could it be that the lightning youth is consuming too much energy?" Zi Chen frowned, then swallowed the entire bottle.

His heart trembled, and a huge suction force came from it, directly swallowing up the entire bottle of Zhen Qi Dan's energy. Only then did Zi Chen's feeling of hunger gradually disappear.

"This is too scary, isn't it? It's just practicing the footwork, could it be that every time I need to use up a bottle of Zhen Qi Dan?" Zi Chen was speechless at this huge consumption of energy.

Even if it was a core disciple who could use it as he wished, it would attract a lot of attention. There were even elders who had asked Zi Chen if he could use it all, and if he could use it all up, they had clearly told Zi Chen that the Zhen Qi Dan could not be used for trade.

Zi Chen laughed bitterly, and could only nod his head to tell the other party that he had really used it. Furthermore, in front of him, the other party had only believed him after he had eaten a bottle of it like candy, with no reaction at all.

After today's matter, Zi Chen needed even more Zhen Qi Dan.

From then on, Zi Chen's food became Zhen Qi Dan, treating this thing as food.

In the Lightning s.p.a.ce, the teenager thunder and lightning repeated the first step of thunder and lightning nine times as Zi Chen sat down cross-legged, quietly comprehending it.

"Bang!"

After dozens of practice sessions, the teenager in lightning had consumed too much energy, so he disappeared again.

"This thing is indeed extraordinary. If I were to learn this footwork, who would be able to stop me?" Zi Chen opened his eyes and left the Lightning s.p.a.ce.

In the past few days, he had entered the Lightning s.p.a.ce at least three times a day and carefully comprehended lightning nine times every day.

Zi Chen had immersed himself in the deep level of comprehension dozens of times. To others, each time was a fortuitous encounter, and to Zi Chen, it was just eating and drinking; it was too common.

Finally, after a hundred tries of enlightenment, he had finally gained a basic understanding of lightning and thunder.

In the middle of Lightning s.p.a.ce, Zi Chen took a step forward, transforming into a bolt of lightning, disappearing in the blink of an eye, his speed was extremely fast, with a flash of silver light, he was already several hundred meters away.

"I've finally started." Zi Chen sighed, then laughed bitterly, "I spent close to a hundred bottles of Zhen Qi Dan, and gained close to a hundred deep levels of comprehension, before finally being able to reach the level. If I let someone else cultivate, I probably won't be able to do so for the rest of my life. Fortunately, I have become a core disciple with the care of the Great Master, and can use a steady stream of Zhen Qi Dan s. Otherwise, it would have been useless. "" No, no.

While lamenting, Zi Chen was rejoicing, for this breakthrough, he had to show off.

With that thought, Zi Chen appeared in the middle of the room that was filled with lightning. In the next moment, the room glowed with a bright silver light, as though there was a bolt of lightning running erratically around the room. Because the speed was too fast, the room was too small, bringing about a burst of gales, followed by a burst of crackling sounds, causing most of the jade equipment in the room to crumble.

Zi Chen stopped, his eyes filled with joy.

"This lightning is really terrifying. I've only just entered the sect, yet my speed has already become so fast. Ordinary inborn footwork simply cannot catch up to me." Zi Chen was extremely excited.

"However, there are pros and cons to this. In the future, I need to prepare some Qi Returning Pills. In just a short period of time, half of my Zhen Qi has already been consumed."

had long antic.i.p.ated that the speed would be fast and the consumption would be huge, and furthermore, the consumption would be within Zi Chen's range of control.

Just as he walked out of his room, Zi Chen saw the Great Clan Elder, who was standing outside the door smiling at him.

"Elder!" Zi Chen bowed respectfully.

"I heard the crackling sounds in your room just now. Did your cultivation make a breakthrough?" The Great Master asked, his eyes filled with joy.

"En!" Zi Chen nodded, and was extremely excited, "After nearly two months of unfathomable cultivation, my Nine Lightning Steps has finally reached the basic level."

He had used it for more than a dozen years and yet, he had not even managed to enter the sect. Zi Chen had only been in the sect for two months, yet he said that it seemed like a long time had pa.s.sed.

However, the old man didn't care either. Zi Chen was originally a special person, and some of the things he used were normal too. Even though he finally felt uncomfortable in his heart, it didn't stop him from expecting Zi Chen to do so.

"Really? Show me." The Grand Elder could not wait any longer. He took a step forward, and without any reaction from Zi Chen, he grabbed's clothes and in a flash, rushed out of Spirit Martial Sect.

Zi Chen could only hear the whoos.h.i.+ng sound of the wind beside his ears, and could no longer sense anything else. Under such extreme speed, he couldn't even open his eyes, and was completely unable to see his surroundings.

The excitement from breaking through to the ninth level of the Thunder G.o.d's Realm instantly calmed down. There was always someone stronger than him, and there was always someone stronger than him. At this moment, compared to the Supreme Elder, his speed was like that of shame.

When the Grand Elder finally put down Zi Chen, he realized that he was already several tens of kilometers away from the sect and had already arrived in an open area.

"This …!" Zi Chen's face was filled with shock. In just a few breaths, he was already several tens of kilometers away.

"Come, let me see your Nine Deaths Lightning." The old man said expectantly.

"It's better not to look. Elder, your speed is much faster than mine. My speed is not enough at all." Zi Chen said dejectedly.

Heh, you little guy, can you compare to me? How old am I and how many years have I trained? The old man scolded.

Zi Chen reacted, a look of grat.i.tude appeared in his eyes, and he then, in front of the old man, he used Thunder Nine Deaths.

"Shua!"

Like a bolt of lightning, Zi Chen's body was covered in an endless amount of silver light. With a single step, he had already disappeared from his original position.

Zi Chen moved between the trees continuously, the speed of his hesitation was too fast. From afar, it looked like there was a bolt of lightning, with a long tail, flas.h.i.+ng around in the forest.

"This... The lightning and thunder are indeed extraordinary, and are known as the speed of the world, it is not excessive at all. Just a mere tenth level of true qi has actually displayed such speed. " The old man's eyes lit up. He was very satisfied with the speed of the lightning.

After he moved about several dozen times, Zi Chen suddenly stopped as the silver light around him dissipated, and he walked towards the old man step by step.
