Chapter 1229: Chapter 1091: Electromagnetic Differences

For Qu Jianlei, it was really inconvenient to leave when Bentley was advancing.

This had great significance for him to perfect his cultivation system and calculate the future direction of development.

Currently, there was too little data in his cultivation system’s sample library, and it had to be enriched.

However, external vigilance could not be relaxed either.

Unfortunately, at this moment, there was no one who could help him, which frustrated him a bit.

Having raised so many people, yet at a critical moment, there is no one to rely on—only Little Lake is still dependable.

After another two days, the energy leaked by Bentley became increasingly abundant.

By the fifth day, the energy fluctuation was strong enough to trigger energy sensors within a hundred kilometers.

The nutrient injection timely issued a warning, "If the energy fluctuation grows more, we should guard against the supreme."

"I am prepared," Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment and remotely activated the electromagnetic generator.

Originally he wanted to wait a bit longer, but since someone felt it was inappropriate, he decided to activate it.

The electromagnetic disorder generated by the electromagnetic generator could not only shield against future tribulation thunder but also mask energy fluctuations well.

The electromagnetic energy disorder of this planet was acknowledged, with causes being diverse, basically unlikely to arouse suspicion from others.

However, Bentley’s energy leak seemed to reach a threshold at this point, without further increase.

Two days later, his own aura began to fluctuate, not very intense but remarkably thick.

Before long, clouds started to gather in the sky.

For a planet with extremely low temperatures, occurrences like this were not frequent.

The nutrient injection looked skyward in astonishment, "This still..."

At this time, Granny Jia couldn’t help but voice her surprise, also aghast, looking at the sky, "It could indeed be lightning!"

The Paranoid thought it was fine that his perception lost to Granny Jia—after all, she was well-versed in the Path of Water Element.

But being a bit inferior to the perception of this little fellow made him exceptionally unbalanced inside.

However, he had not yet managed to react, his expression suddenly changed, and he took a deep breath.

"This is... majestic heavenly power?"

In his perception, the clouds gathering in the sky brought not only charges and water vapor.

There was also a faint pressure, although not very obvious, yet still omnipresent.

The pressure was indeed very weak, but it appeared not abrupt at all, and was extremely ethereal, impossible to sense its origin.

As if naturally generated between heaven and earth, only previously obscured by something, unnoticed.

The Paranoid had heard a senior mention that such heavenly power often signified great changes.

That senior had passed away already, and the heavenly power he spoke of was merely very ancient legend.

However, the Paranoid had once broken through to above supreme, and at the moment of breakthrough, had experienced a similar feeling.

At that time, he had a sense of intuition, his breakthrough seemed to be disfavored by heaven and earth, the entire universe’s will was suppressing him.

Yet having chosen an unprecedented challenge, he was mentally prepared, not lost or confused.

The Paranoid hadn’t heard of "Cosmic Retribution" saying before, but there were other similar sayings... which were not much different.

At this moment, he couldn’t help recalling the feeling during his breakthrough.

Thinking again, the leader had mentioned a few days ago, cultivation originally defies the Path of Nature, generating cause and effect.

He somewhat understood why this feeling appeared at this time.

In any case, encountering fresh and hot theories, immediately getting verified, this feeling was indeed quite satisfying.

Yet he had some dissatisfaction, "Why does this majestic heavenly power feel so strong?"

Strictly speaking, pressure wasn’t strong—the Flower Scorpion and Zi Jiu Immortal couldn’t sense it, but the majestic taste of oppression was evident.

The Paranoid had also encountered similar heavenly power; he felt Bentley’s suppression was more "pure" than his own!

It was a very strange feeling, as if the other party was genuinely contending with heaven, while he was merely blocked taking shortcuts.

Which was precisely what he had said earlier—the system of Awakening was truly just learning something incoherent.

Yet the Paranoid was exceedingly unconvinced: Why?

He admitted Bentley’s cultivation technique might be more authentic than his, but in any case, the other party was merely impacting supreme!

The opposition he faced when impacting beyond supreme was even less authentically challenging than the other party!

The Paranoid was genuinely accustomed to being strong, knowing that greater obstruction was less favorable for breaking through, but he couldn’t help minding internally.

At this time, Mu Yu couldn’t resist, "Senior, shall we seriously perceive first?"

She too wanted to impact beyond supreme—even those at Nascent Soul Realm wholeheartedly wanted to seize this excellent opportunity.

Simply put, at this moment, the higher the cultivation level, the more they could sense the wonder of Bentley’s breakthrough.

Yet, Flower Scorpion and others didn’t slack, regardless of how much they could sense, they tried to memorize these feelings first.

At a certain moment, a day later, Celestial Sound groaned lightly, her face turning pale, her body swaying as if ready to topple anytime.

"You can’t perceive anymore," Qu Jianlei flashed forward and picked her up, "overdoing it is just as bad as not doing enough!"

As for this incident, everyone was just momentarily stunned and then quickly understood.

Before the observation, Qu Jianlei had already mentioned that those with too low a cultivation level might not last long, so don’t force it.

In fact, everyone present could understand this; the higher the cultivation level, the more rules and mysteries one deals with.

Celestial Sound was just the first who couldn’t hold on, not the only one.

Two days later, as the clouds in the sky gathered thicker, Claire and Zi Jiu Immortal almost couldn’t hold on simultaneously.

Both of them withdrew, and while Professor Zi said nothing, he couldn’t help but glance at Claire.

She had already reached A-level, outstanding among her peers, yet persisted for about the same time as a B-level.

However, there was nothing to complain about; she knew very well that this B-level dark attribute girl was regarded as a direct disciple of Panda.

She had only switched to Panda’s cultivation technique midway, whereas this girl had followed the leader’s path from the start.

Like Flower Scorpion, who was still observing, she too was A-level, but so far, she appeared to remain at ease.

The reason was the same, and it was said that Flower Scorpion was personally taught by the leader, receiving even better treatment than Claire.

Zi Jiu Immortal came to the retreat area and found a lifeboat parked five or six kilometers away.

Celestial Sound was just sitting in the lifeboat. The conditions here were somewhat lacking, and being exposed outdoors for a long time could cause some discomfort.

Seeing Zi Jiu Immortal and Claire come out, the lifeboat flashed a series of light signals, inviting them to come aboard.

Zi Jiu Immortal and Claire instant flashed all the way over to the lifeboat.

Celestial Sound didn’t ask them why they came out—there was really no need to ask, "Let’s wait, maybe the three of us need to take action."

Claire said nothing; she had been struggling as well these past two days, and her state couldn’t be considered good.

Zi Jiu Immortal blinked, "Is it to guard against those survivors?"

Everyone knew about the survivors because they had been affected themselves, and no one wanted to deal with those people.

By comparison, Zi Jiu Immortal and Celestial Sound were on the relatively benevolent side; Flower Scorpion even suggested considering killing those people.

"Yes," Celestial Sound nodded, "the leader said that if necessary, we can use the 3344 ship."

Using the starship against the Awakened... even if there was a Supreme in the opposing camp, there wouldn’t be much surprise in the outcome.

Moreover, even if the Supreme managed to escape by chance, rebuilding their current refuge would consume a lot of resources if it were destroyed.

In that situation, how long they could last, only heaven would know.

Zi Jiu Immortal furrowed her brow and asked, "Do we decide how to handle the matter ourselves?"

"Of course, the leader makes the decisions; we just follow orders," Celestial Sound replied blandly.

After pausing for a moment, she added, "Hope they don’t act too recklessly; I’m really not interested in dealing with them."

Zi Jiu Immortal remained silent. After a while, she said, "Let’s see what kind of commotion Old Ben’s breakthrough will cause."

Another two days passed, and it was the twentieth day of Bentley’s closed-door retreat. The clouds grew heavier, as if dyed with ink.

At a certain moment, tiny arcs began to dance within the cloud layers suddenly.

It is said that with the appearance of arcs, the energy gets a proper outlet and would decrease the power of thunder.

However, at this moment, everyone’s perception was not so; they felt that with the appearance of arcs, the energy brewing in the clouds increased instead.

Simultaneously, some four thousand kilometers away, the survivors also noticed this phenomenon.

"Strange, when did the electromagnetic storms on this planet become like this?"

They were really quite far from the clouds, but that Water Attribute Supreme still stepped out of the shelter.

This person was burly with a face full of horizontal flesh, clearly someone not to be trifled with.

He flew into the air, using spiritual power to sense carefully, and his brow furrowed slightly, "Is it actually... watery lightning?"

He had been wandering through space for some years and was quite familiar with the state of most star bodies,

This planet had no major anomalies; its temperature was low, and occasionally electromagnetic storms would appear.

Electromagnetic storms weren’t very friendly to electronic equipment on lifeboats, so proper precautions needed to be taken.

But now, watery lightning had appeared... what exactly was happening?

The key was that this electromagnetic energy seemed to be continuously increasing?

He pondered for a few seconds and decisively declared upon returning to the shelter, "There’s anomalous lightning. Pilot the lifeboat to take a look!"

The lifeboat’s speed wasn’t particularly fast, but in a survival situation in space, he had to conserve enough Inner Breath.

As for the lifeboat possibly consuming some Energy Blocks... that couldn’t be considered right now.

To survive in space, one must seize every possible opportunity, some sacrifice was inevitable.

Others might not agree with such consumption, but at this moment, no one would be foolish enough to question the sole Supreme’s decision.

Just as the lifeboat set off, Qu Jianlei inside the retreat narrowed his brows, "Hmm?"
