The Jilei Mountain was quite famous around here. Anyone who passed by here would have a deep impression of this place.
It was said that there was a huge Thunder Absorbing Stone inside the mountain. Therefore, thunderbolts would strike down here all year round.
The most important thing was …
The thunderbolts that struck down here were not regular ones. Some powerful warriors tested and found that the thunderbolts here were as strong as those of the second Heaven Tribulation.
Therefore, many warriors at the Omen Island would come here to have a try before they were ready to go through the second Heaven Tribulation. If they could stand the thunderbolts here, they could survive the second Heaven Tribulation.
If they could not even stand the thunderbolts here, then there was no need to go through the Heaven Tribulation.
Also, some powerful warriors who wanted to improve their bodies would come here to cultivate as well.
However, they had to pay Divine Origin Gold to cultivate here. This was the territory of the Palace of Black Mountain. Without Divine Origin Gold, no one was allowed to go in.
Patriarch Chen took Lu Li down the Peak of Heaven Clouds, which attracted many people's attention.
Lu Li had no idea that he was hated by many. He went to the Green-moon Peak with Patriarch Chen and left the Mountain of Heaven Clouds directly after he found Uncle Li.
Lu Li leaving the Mountain of Heaven Clouds caused a sensation. Many people wished they could kill Lu Li. How could he leave the Mountain of Heaven Clouds at this time?
The 6000 or 7000 warriors had all left the Mountain of Heaven Clouds. It just so happened that some of them didn't know where to go so they gathered outside the Mountain of Heaven Clouds.
Soon, the news spread out and attracted many people's attention.
Compared to the powerful warriors in the mountain, the 7000 or 8000 warriors that were forced to leave hated Lu Li more.
Now, Lu Li had left the Mountain of Heaven Clouds?
How could they miss such a good chance for revenge?
It was a pity that Patriarch Chen was with Lu Li. Patriarch Chen was so powerful that nobody dared to mess around.
Some had to follow them secretly to see where Patriarch Chen and Lu Li were going.
Soon, Lu Li's whereabouts were confirmed. The Jilei Mountain!
Patriarch Chen, Lu Li and Uncle Li went to the Jilei Mountain and never came back down.
Even though Patriarch Chen had been following Lu Li, many people still remembered this. Some even planned to join the Palace of Black Mountain so that they could find a chance to kill Lu Li …
…
The Jilei Mountain was huge. It was either a mountain range or a stone peak with a radius of more than three miles.
Jilei Mountain was made of a kind of reddish-brown stones. There were no plants or animals in the whole mountain. There were only stones.
There were soldiers stationed at the foot of the mountain. There were only a hundred of them, led by a commander.
However, this place was only a few hundred miles away from the headquarters of the Black Mountain Palace. Once something happened here, the experts of the Black Mountain Palace would immediately come to help.
The main reason was that apart from the lightning, there was nothing else in the mountain. There were no Spirit Stones or Spirit Medicines here. Most people would not be crazy enough to destroy the entire mountain.
Furthermore … this mountain had been bombarded by thunderbolts all year round and had become extremely hard.
Even if a human wanted to destroy it in one move, it would be very difficult. If they could not destroy the Jilei Mountain and offended the Palace Lord of the Black Mountain Palace, it would not be worth it.
"Boom boom boom!"
Above the Ninth Heaven, black thunderbolts swooped down like raging dragons and blasted into the Jilei Mountain. Dozens of thunderbolts struck down almost every second.
As soon as he entered the mountain, he could feel the destructive aura contained within the lightning.
Uncle Li shrank his head. He was not afraid that the thunderbolts would strike him to death. It was just that if a warrior was not going to refine his body, why would he be struck by thunderbolts?
It did not feel good to be struck by thunderbolts. It was suffering and torment.
Lu Li, on the other hand, was very excited. He was like a man who had been starving for months seeing delicious food. His eyes were glowing.
The strength of the thunderbolts was beyond his expectation. They were much stronger than those in the Heaven's Tribulation in the Divinity.
Patriarch Chen went to negotiate with the commander who could not make the decision.
He had to report it as soon as possible. Lu Li and Uncle Li waited quietly.
In just an hour, a powerful warrior flew over with several warriors. As soon as they arrived, they bowed to Patriarch Chen and promised that Lu Li and Uncle Li could cultivate at the Jilei Mountain all year round and they would not charge any fees.
Patriarch Chen exchanged some pleasantries and took Lu Li up the mountain. Uncle Li was troubled.
He could cultivate at the Green Moon Peak but Lu Li had to take him to the Jilei Mountain.
The thought of being struck by thunderbolts every day and not being able to cultivate was a headache for Uncle Li.
"Whoosh ~"
At the top of the mountain, a thunderbolt struck down. Lu Li jumped up in excitement and flew toward the thunderbolt.
Patriarch Chen and Uncle Li looked over with concern. Lu Li, please don't die.
"Boom ~"
The black thunderbolt as thick as a human head struck Lu Li, but it didn't hurt him at all.
As soon as the thunderbolt entered Lu Li's body, it was absorbed by the Lightning Gathering Formation and transformed into energy that surged to his 720 acupoints.
"Well …"
Patriarch Chen nodded. Lu Li must have some skills to be chosen by Fairy Tianyun.
Lu Li's eyes glowed. The thunderbolts here were powerful. One thunderbolt could be as powerful as hundreds of thunderbolts in the Divinity.
"Elder Chen, Uncle Li, the two of you can stay here at the border."
Lu Li took a look. The center of the mountain peak had the most thunderbolts. Occasionally, there would be thunderbolts.
He didn't want Patriarch Chen and Uncle Li to suffer with him.
"Okay!"
Patriarch Chen nodded. Uncle Li was more than happy. He would stay with Patriarch Chen. He hoped that Patriarch Chen could take the thunderbolts and not let him suffer.
"Whoosh!"
Lu Li dashed toward the center of the mountain peak and attracted five thunderbolts.
Patriarch Chen and Uncle Li were stunned. Instead of being hurt, Lu Li made it to the center easily. His face was flushed and he was as excited as a kid who got his favorite toy.
"Good, good. There are fewer thunderbolts but they are strong enough!"
At the center, he would be struck by more than a dozen thunderbolts every second. Lu Li could feel energy surging into his acupoints. His body was growing stronger. He was delighted.
"Try to consume the Primordial Energy!"
Lu Li sat on the ground with his legs crossed. He paid no more attention to the thunderbolts or what was going on outside. He guided the thunderbolts into the Primordial Energy.
He separated part of the Primordial Energy and guided it into his acupoints.
"This is good!"
After the time for one incense stick to burn, Lu Li had made up his mind.
The thunderbolts were powerful. When they entered the Primordial Energy, they could separate some of the Primordial Energy and send it into the Lightning Gathering Formation. In the end, the Primordial Energy would be transmitted to the 720 acupoints.
Lu Li could consume more than 100 strands of Primordial Energy in almost the time for one breath. It was 100 times faster than before.
If nobody disturbed Lu Li, he could consume all the Primordial Energy in two or three years at most.
"So strong. The Primordial Energy … is so strong!"
As the Primordial Energy entered his acupoints bit by bit, Lu Li could clearly feel that his body was improving.
This speed of improvement was so fast that it shocked him. He felt like he was still a mortal who was swallowing divine pills one after another. His physical body was growing stronger at a terrifying speed.
"Cultivate, cultivate!"
Lu Li tried to calm himself down. The chance to soar was right in front of him.
As long as he could improve his defensive abilities, he might not be able to fight against the Hall of Black Flames. At the very least … he would be able to protect himself when he encountered Yan Hong.
