Chapter 1021 - 130: Arrival at the Jade Secret Realm, Demon Race's Traditional Cultivation System

After Yue Ruyan left that night, the weather suddenly changed, and the sky was shrouded in thick clouds, obscuring the moon and stars. Ships drifting on the sea resembled fireflies in the darkness.

Soon, it began to drizzle, and the rain grew heavier and heavier. Experienced Fish Scale Guards immediately understood that this was a precursor to a storm; the sea was about to surge with large waves.

"Boom!"

Thunder rolled across the sky, and a silver dragon flashed through the clouds.

The sea churned violently, making the massive ships on the ocean seem especially helpless and insignificant.

Chen Mo gazed at the rolling silver thunder and was suddenly reminded of something. After instructing a Personal Soldier, he flew away from the ship and landed on a very small island.

Chen Mo sat cross-legged on the spot and began to operate the Nine Heavens Divine Forging Skill to attract lightning.

Huang Yi had told him that this technique could summon the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder to temper the Primordial Spirit, integrating it into the Divine Thunder Qi.

Since obtaining the Nine Heavens Divine Forging Technique, Chen Mo hadn't seriously cultivated it yet. Now that heaven presented a golden opportunity, he must seize it.

As the Nine Heavens Divine Forging Technique operated, the thunder in the heavens above seemed to receive a signal, with silver lightning converging more fiercely within the clouds. The entire sky became intensely oppressive.

After a few breaths, a gap suddenly split the clouds, and the silver lightning seemed to lock onto Chen Mo. With a "crack," the thunder roared, as if a lightning knife had sliced a zigzagging fissure in the sky, striking straight at Chen Mo's head in an instant.

"Boom!"

Under the furious storm, countless tiny lightning sparks exploded, flowed, and sprang from Chen Mo's body, densely spreading like small silver snakes, instantly covering the entire island.

"Ah ah ah..."

Chen Mo's body and Primordial Spirit jerked violently, and his Protective Spiritual Qi shattered when it made contact with the thunder, his robe turning to dust at the same moment. His hair stood up, causing him to involuntarily let out sharp screams of "Ah ah."

Of course, this process was brief, lasting only about three seconds, but Chen Mo's whole being seemed languished. Yet, what Chen Mo didn't notice was that part of the thunder was absorbed into his body.

He wiped his blackened face with his hand, then opened the attribute panel of his Primordial Spirit to check.

[Name: Chen Mo.]

[Age: 29.]

[Cultivation Technique: Nine Heavens Divine Forging Technique (Entry Level 7999/100000).]

[Realm: Earth Yuan Realm (4995600/5000000).]

[Power: 151999.]

"Huh?"

He heard the system enhancement sound, opened the attribute panel for Spiritual Power, and discovered Vajra Longevity Technique (Advanced 32/20000).

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow.

This lightning even allowed his Vajra Longevity Technique to reach the Intermediate level.

It surprisingly also benefited the Vajra Longevity Skill.

He activated the Vajra Longevity Technique to examine, his skin instantly tightened with a silver metallic sheen. When Chen Mo touched his chest, he felt a slight tingling sensation.

Chen Mo's eyes glowed, looking at the silvery lightning still rolling in the sky. He was eager to absorb another bolt, but feared his body was too weak for it.

He decided against continuing to absorb the Thunder Power, took a new set of clothes from the Qiankun Bracelet, changed, and washed his face before flying off the island.

...

The day to enter the Jade Secret Realm quickly arrived.

Chen Mo entered Immortal Island early to wait, but even by the appointed time, Huang Yi had not yet arrived, causing Chen Mo to furrow his brows, as Huang Yi did not seem like someone who wouldn't be punctual.

After another half an hour, Huang Yi arrived, windblown and hurried.

Chen Mo was taken aback, as in previous encounters, Huang Yi had always appeared like a Fairy. But today, Huang Yi had lost some of that Immortal Aura.

To put it simply, Huang Yi previously gave a high and unattainable feeling, but today she was tainted with a trace of worldly aura.

Seeing Huang Yi's somewhat disheveled hair, Chen Mo respectfully asked, "Fairy Yi, has something happened?"

"Come with me first, or we won't make it in time." Huang Yi didn't have time to explain to Chen Mo. Once she appeared before him, she cast a strip of green light, taking him away from the place.

Meanwhile.

A crowd had gathered on the Eagle Owl Race's plaza, but most were spectators.

They focused their gazes on Feng Ying, Huang Su, the Great Elder, and the Fifth Elder.

"Strange, why hasn't Chen Mo arrived yet? It's almost time."

"Elder Huang Yi isn't here either."

People began to murmur softly.

Huang Su couldn't help but glance at the Fifth Elder, then shifted her gaze to Feng Ying.

Feng Ying noticed Huang Su's gaze and smiled at her.

"Great Elder, I'm afraid he won't make it. We can't wait any longer, or we'll miss the time when the Secret Realm opens," the Fifth Elder said to the elderly man beside him.

The Great Elder glanced at the Fifth Elder, then stroked his beard and said solemnly, "There is still half an hour until 7:00 AM; the time hasn't reached. There's no rush. Furthermore, with three individuals, but missing one, how will we compete with the other two races?"

The Fifth Elder cursed internally, "Stubborn," then chuckled, "It's simple; just put someone else in his place. Last time, if it weren't for the time, Feng Xuan would have won."

The Fifth Elder was suggesting Feng Xuan take the spot.

"Not appropriate, not appropriate," the Great Elder understood what the Fifth Elder intended. Although he didn't want an outsider to take the spot, once a decision was made, he insisted on sticking to the rules; rules must not be violated.
