Chapter 213
Long Chen and Tang Wan-er requested a leave of absence from the monastery . They then left from the monastery’s gate and began walking northwards .
Disciples had to request for leaves of absence from an Elder if they wished to go outside the monastery . Furthermore, they were not allowed to leave for too long . The two of them had put in seven days’ time .
“Long Chen, where are you bringing me?” Tang Wan-er was still in the dark .
“Didn’t I tell you? We’re doing something fun,” laughed Long Chen .
“If you won’t be serious with me I won’t bother with you any longer,” sniffed Tang Wan-er somewhat angrily .
“Haha, don’t get mad . I need you to help me out a bit for a certain something . But before that, I still need to go find Little Snow,” explained Long Chen .
“Little Snow? You mean your Scarlet Flame Snow Wolf? Didn’t you tell your family’s people to bring him back?” asked Tang Wan-er .
Long Chen smiled bitterly, “I came by myself . I didn’t have anyone from my family present . ”
Only then did Tang Wan-er remember how Long Chen had travelled on his own . She awkwardly asked, “Then where is Little Snow?”
Long Chen looked around . “This is where we agreed to meet . Look, there’s Little Snow’s footprints . He should be around here somewhere . ”
Suddenly Long Chen let out a long roar that shook the sky . His majestic roar immediately spread hundreds of miles .
That roar echoed out for the time it took for an incense stick to burn before finally fading away . Long Chen was a bit baffled .
“Maybe Little Snow is hunting…,” he guessed .
“Then what do you want to do? You want us to wait?” asked Tang Wan-er .
“No need . I’ll tie one of my clothes onto a tree . He should be able to figure out I came here to find him . Once he sees my clothing he’ll know to wait for me . ” Long Chen took off his outer s.h.i.+rt and tied it to a large tree .
Little Snow’s sensitive nose could easily find it . Once he did, he’d definitely know Long Chen had come by and he wait here for him .
Tang Wan-er asked, “Then what do you want to do now?”
“Haha, I’m bringing you to do something fun . You’ll definitely like it . ” Long Chen directly rushed off .
“Scoundrel, hurry up and tell me!” Tang Wan-er followed behind him angrily . This fellow really did like to act all mysterious .
The two of them rushed over a thousand miles north, arriving at the top of a huge mountain . This mountain was extremely high, and above the peak were rolling black clouds . Flickers of lightning appeared every now and then .
Looking at those black clouds above, Tang Wan-er suddenly recalled something and her eyes widened . “Long Chen, don’t tell me you came here to be struck by lightning . ”
“Hehe, you really are smart . Yup, you guessed right,” laughed Long Chen .
On his journey back from the rubble wasteland, he had pa.s.sed by this region and seen that this place was a bit strange . The mountain peak would always be covered by black clouds with lightning within them .
This entire mountain peak was completely bare . It was definitely a good place to gather lightning .
He had once refined Lei Qianshang’s thunderforce seed, so his body already had a certain resistance to thunder and lightning . Furthermore, his meridians were able to contain thunderforce .
He hoped that if he could obtain a stronger thunderforce, it might be possible for him to nourish and use that thunderforce like his beast flame .
Most importantly, having advanced to the tenth Heavenstage, Long Chen was very worried from his experience in advancing from the Qi Condensation realm . He had to be cautious . Once he reached the thirteenth Heavenstage, he would be struck by that heavenly punishment .
The previous heavenly punishment had almost killed him . If it hadn’t been for the Spirit World’s expert giving him a warning, he wouldn’t have been able to resist his terror and would have already died from that tribulation .
Furthermore, she had told him that the first tribulation was only a test of his willpower .
If that was true, then when he advanced to Tendon Transformation, it would definitely be even more terrifying . Just a test of willpower had almost turned him to ashes . If it was a test of his physical body, wouldn’t he have been directly killed?
Although his physical body was much more powerful now, he was still filled with fear and caution towards that heavenly punishment .
The first time was already that terrifying; just how horrifying would be the second time? He naturally didn’t want to die under heavenly punishment, and so he had to make himself even stronger .
Previously he had refined Lei Qianshang’s thunderseed, and so he had gained a control over some thunderforce . So while coming here was still a risk, it was worth it .
If he could absorb the thunder and lightning from the sky, he might be able to borrow that thunderforce to temper his body, giving him greater resistance to lightning in the future .
Even a slightly greater resistance would give him a higher chance of surviving the next heavenly punishment .
Long Chen took out a large kite twenty-one meters wide from his spatial ring . The frame was made from Magical Beast bone and then normal beast hide was added as cloth, making it very st.u.r.dy .
