On the second day after Luo Li and the rest had entered the Door of the Northern Heavens to train, under the lead of the Northern Sea Dragon, Mu Chen arrived at a place that wasn't unfamiliar to him, yet caused his scalp to turn slightly numb. That place was precisely the final layer of the Hokuang Reiwon Lightning Territory.

Rumble!
Within the dark space, a vast and endless sea of lightning occupied the horizon. With a single glance, one couldn't see the end of it. As the sea of lightning surged and churned, gigantic Divine Black Lightning roared akin to enraged dragons. The claps of thunder caused the surrounding space to tremble, while the might of the heavens and earth was exceedingly frightening.
Standing in the final layer of the Lightning Territory, Mu Chen raised his head to look at the jet-black sea of lightning that was as black as ink. Although he had entered it before, looking at it now, it still caused his heart to palpitate slightly. The pure blackness gave people an extremely stifling feeling, as if anything that entered would be devoured.
"Senior Northern Sea, how are we going to train here?"
Looking at the rivers of lightning descending from the sea of lightning, Mu Chen couldn't help grinning as he cautiously asked.
Said the Northern Sea Dragon as he rubbed his bald head. His current appearance truly appeared slightly comical, as he didn't seem like one of the important figures of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy in the slightest. Shooting a look at Mu Chen, he curled his lips and said, "How's your training in the Lightning God Physique?"
"I've reached the Dualrune Lightning Physique," replied Mu Chen in an honest manner.
Raising his eyebrows, the Northern Sea Dragon nodded his head in an indifferent manner, "Not bad. However, in the following period of time, you must train your Lightning God Physique to the Quadra Rune Lightning Physique."
Hearing that, Mu Chen was startled. This Deity Tier Body Tempering Divine Art was originally hard to train in, not to mention that the Lightning God Physique was one of the best amongst them.
Cultivating it was even more difficult. God knows how much blood and sweat he had spent to reach the level of the Quadra Rune Lightning Physique.
As of now, wanting to jump to the Quadra Rune Lightning Physique was easier said than done.
"In the following period of time, you'll stay in there and train. You're not allowed to come out."
The Northern Sea Dragon pointed his withered finger towards the black sea that occupied the entire space, and said in an indifferent tone, "Also, you're not allowed to use the Divine Black Lightning Poison to conceal your fluctuations."
Mu Chen was stunned, and his scalp went numb. How terrifying was that sea of lightning?
He had tried it before. The last time he had snuck in, it was because he had used the Divine Black Lightning Poison to conceal his aura.
This was the reason why An Ran was able to remain safe and sound. However, now that the Northern Sea Dragon forbade him from concealing his aura, wouldn't he attract the frenzied attacks of countless Divine Black Lightning upon entering?
Although his current strength was much stronger than before, it was still not enough.
But compared to that terrifying Divine Black Lightning, it was nothing.
Besides, he clearly remembered that there was a terrifying Lightning Soul within the sea of lightning. That was a terrifying existence that even the Northern Sea Dragon had a headache over. At that time, if he were to alarm that thing, a casual attack from it would probably be able to turn him into ashes.
"In this sea of lightning.
Condensed with the power of countless Divine Black Lightning, it's the most suitable for tempering your Lightning God's Physique.
Furthermore, the Divine Black Lightning also contains powerful energies. As long as you're able to endure it, it'll be extremely beneficial to your cultivation. It won't be the slightest bit weaker than cultivating within the Door of the Northern Heavens. "
The Northern Sea Dragon said lazily, "Of course, if you're afraid, we can choose the ordinary method. However, when the half a year of cultivation ends, Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong and the others will probably leave you far behind when they come out of seclusion!"
Hearing his provocation, Mu Chen shook his head with a smile. Not saying anything else, he nodded his head and said, "Let's begin."
"That's more like it."
Nodding his head, the Northern Sea Dragon said, "As for the Lightning Soul, you don't have to worry. I've already sealed it. As long as you're able to endure it, you can do whatever you want within the sea of lightning."
After pondering for a while, the Northern Sea Dragon clenched his withered hand. In the next instant, a black lightning bolt condensed within his palm, transforming into a black jade strip sparkling with lightning sparks. With a flick of his finger, he tossed it towards Mu Chen. Hastily receiving it, the latter looked over in doubt, only to see three ancient characters condensed from lightning on the surface of the black jade strip.
Lightning Controlling Technique.
"Lightning Controlling Technique?"
Gawking, Mu Chen asked in doubt, "Is this an offensive Deity Tier Spiritual Art?"
"Deity Tier Spiritual Art?"
With a sneer, the Northern Sea Dragon said, "Ignorant brat, this isn't a Deity Tier Spiritual Art, but a Divine Art!"
"Divine Art?"
A jolt instantly shook through Mu Chen's heart. Between the heavens and earth, there were tens of thousands of unfathomable techniques, and Deity Tier Spiritual Arts were just one of them. As for this so-called Divine Art, it was incomparably mysterious. It's said that there were various kinds of miraculous powers between the heavens and earth. Once activated, one would be able to erupt with extremely frightening power.
Therefore, this kind of Divine Art was extremely demanding to learn. Furthermore, this technique was also exceedingly rare. This kind of thing was rather valuable even to Sovereign stage experts. In the past, Mu Chen had only vaguely heard about it, but he had never seen a Divine Art before. In fact, he had never seen anything similar in the Spiritual Values Hall. However, before his eyes, the thing that the Northern Sea Dragon had given him was actually a Divine Art!
"Generally speaking, Divine Arts are things that only Sovereign stage experts can dabble in. However, this" Lightning Controlling Technique "has some similarities with the Lightning God Body that you've cultivated. As long as you're able to comprehend the true meaning of lightning, you'll be able to successfully learn it. When fighting against others, with just a thought, you'll be able to summon lightning with extraordinary might." The Northern Sea Dragon slowly explained.
"Summon lightning?" Mu Chen's eyes brimmed with astonishment. Is this a Divine Art?
It's indeed formidable! Some special Divine Arts are able to form lightning to fight against enemies. However, Mu Chen knew that those lightning weren't pure. Most of them were condensed from Spiritual Energy, and couldn't be considered as the pure lightning of the heavens and earth.
However, this so-called "Lightning Controlling Technique" was able to achieve this. From this, one could see that this Divine Art was indeed much more mysterious and profound than Divine Arts.
"It's extremely difficult to learn a Divine Art. You'll have to properly comprehend it when you're training within the sea of lightning."
Said the Northern Sea Dragon as he stuck his hands within his sleeves. With a lazy appearance, he didn't seem to have the slightest intention of explaining it to Mu Chen in detail.
Mu Chen could only helplessly nod his head. Keeping the "Lightning Controlling Technique", he raised his head to look at the jet-black sea of lightning. Taking a deep breath, his black pupils started to slowly turn cold. Since he had already made up his mind to accept this special training, he would naturally not shrink back. If he wanted to obtain great power, he would need to pay an equivalent price. Power that came for free wasn't something that Mu Chen liked, as it was unreliable.
"If you're truly unable to endure within the sea of lightning, take out your Lightning God's Lotus. It'll be able to protect you." said the Northern Sea Dragon in a slow manner.
"Yes."
Gently nodding his head, Mu Chen gave a stomp of his feet, shooting straight towards the horizon like a roc. Circulating boundless Spiritual Energy to protect his body, lightning sparkled on the surface of his body. Clearly, he had started to circulate his Lightning God's Physique. The sea of lightning before him was definitely a land of death, so he had no choice but to be cautious and cautious.
Bang!
Outside of the sea of lightning, countless black lightning howled and howled. Seemingly sensing the approach of Mu Chen, peals of thunder instantly resounded as lightning blotted the skies and covered the earth as they smashed against the latter's body. Chi!
Chi!
Lightning arcs exploded on the surface of Mu Chen's body, causing the clothes on his body to turn into ashes in an instant. Intense pain radiated from the surface of his body, yet his expression did not change. After all, he could be considered to have reached the initial mastery of the Lightning God's Physique. Therefore, he was completely able to endure the scattered Divine Black Lightning outside.
However, Mu Chen did not underestimate it because of this, as he understood that the truly frightening Divine Black Lightning was hidden within the sea of lightning. Compared to it, the Divine Black Lightning outside was truly insufficient.
Hu.
Mu Chen's speed was extremely quick, and in the blink of an eye, he had already approached the jet-black sea of lightning. Looking at the oppressive blackness that caused people's hearts to palpitate, he deeply exhaled a breath of air. Giving a stomp of his feet in the air, a puttering sound rang out as his body rushed into the black sea of lightning.
Chi!
As his body rushed into the sea of lightning, Mu Chen was instantly able to sense the erratic lightning energies crazily gushing over from his surroundings. The last time he had entered this place, he had relied on the concealment of the Divine Black Lightning Poison, causing the sea of lightning to not have any effect on him. However, after rushing in like this, he was finally able to sense the loftiness concealed within this sea of lightning.
Boundless Spiritual Energy continuously gushed out from Mu Chen's body, resisting the corrosion of the lightning energies. After entering a thousand metres deep into the sea of lightning, he slowed down his speed and sat down. Two lightning runes sparkled on his chest, while black lightning arcs started to dance on the surface of his body.
Boundless Spiritual Energy rippled out from his body, forcing the black lightning liquid back, forming a three metre wide vacuum zone.
Sitting down, he was able to see giant dragon-like Divine Black Lightning quietly squirming and squirming within the depths of the jet-black sea of lightning, while radiating frightening energies.
"Let's begin!"
Muttered Mu Chen to himself, as a fierce glint abruptly gushed from within his black pupils. At this moment, everyone was making their preparations for the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament half a year later. Although he had yet to enter the Door of the Northern Heavens, he knew that the training within would definitely be considerably dangerous. Since everyone was risking their lives to train, he should also work hard.
This half a year would be an extremely huge change. For the sake of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, the various great Spiritual Academies would use various methods to increase the strength of their elite students. In half a year, everyone's strength would increase by leaps and bounds. If he was still complacent about defeating Mo Xingtian, he might cause all of the expectations that Hokuang Reiwon had for him to completely turn into bubbles.
Taking a deep breath, Mu Chen looked towards the giant dragon-like Divine Black Lightning, before a low and deep roar suddenly rang out from his throat.
"Come! Let me see how frightening you guys are!"
Bang!
A majestic and vigorous spiritual power suddenly burst out from his body!
Rumble!
As his Spiritual Energy erupted within the sea of lightning, it completely shook the entire sea of lightning. Rumbling sounds erupted from the gigantic bolts of Divine Black Lightning, before ripping apart the sea of lightning, before violently rumbling towards the abnormal being within the sea of lightning.
