Chapter 284

Long Chen arrived at a familiar, bare mountaintop . Looking up the sky covered in black thunderclouds, he sighed .

His cultivation base was completely stuck in an bottleneck he could not advance past, and he also couldn’t find the Qilin Fruit . The best thing he could do is come up with some alternative methods to raise his strength .

Last time when he had fought Yin Luo, he had essentially exhausted all his thunderforce . And since he had been so busy ‘buying’ medicinal ingredients during this time, he hadn’t had the time to go recover that thunderforce .

Now that he finally had a break, he came to this place .

Long Chen’s thunderforce was something merged within his blood . It would require a large deal of time and energy to replenish it through normal means . Only by properly feeding his thunderforce runes would they produce more thunderforce for him .

Rather than wasting time and energy on that, Long Chen preferred to just directly gather more lightning .

With Long Chen’s character, if he could accomplish something lying down, then he definitely wouldn’t bother sitting up . Completing tasks in the quickest, safest manner was the way of a king .

Long Chen took out a kite three feet long . This kite was extremely special though . It was made entirely of iron .

It was something Long Chen had asked Guo Ran to make for him . The wings had thirty-six sets of springs . When the wind blew by those springs, it would cause them to constantly compress and decompress, allowing the kite to fly stably in the air .

Once it was in the air, it wasn’t like other kites . It wouldn’t need someone to constantly change its direction .

Guo Ran estimated that as long as it was anch.o.r.ed to the ground and that there was wind in the sky, this kite could stay up forever .

Furthermore, Long Chen’s kitestring was also very special and made of an especially tough steel wire . It was both slender and durable .

Long Chen quickly got the kite in the air, bringing it to a height of three thousand meters .

That was where the thunderclouds were densest . Occasionally, lightning would strike the kite, and a powerful thunderforce would pa.s.s on down the kitestring .

But this thunderforce didn’t cause any injuries to Long Chen . In fact, this level of thunderforce was actually relaxing for him .

The thunderforce runes in his blood were like hungry wolves that had been awakened, crazily devouring this new energy .

As for the kite, even in the midst of all that lightning, it was only trembling slightly . There was no sign of it being damaged whatsoever .

“Seems that Guo Ran’s devices are trustworthy . ” This brother of his was surprisingly reliable in this aspect .

He found a boulder and tied the string onto it . He then took out a jar and poured in Jade b.u.t.terfly Queen Bee Honey .

He lay back on the boulder, a straw connecting his mouth to the jar . With the sweetness in the mouth and the gentle ma.s.sage on his back from the thunderforce, Long Chen felt like he might float to the heavens .

“This must be how G.o.ds and immortals cultivate…”

Long Chen was deeply moved . The thunderforce in the sky was constantly being conducted down onto his body, allowing the thunderforce in his body to quickly replenish . And after experiencing this exhaustion and replenishment, his thunderforce runes had grown slightly in size .

Perhaps such a lazy cultivation method was something only Long Chen could think of .

Other than his thunderforce, Long Chen didn’t have any other way to increase his strength . He was prepared to cultivate here until the Jiuli secret realm opened .

Although he hadn’t obtained a Chosen disciple position, he naturally had gotten a core disciple position . There was no way he lacked the qualifications to enter .

Long Chen naturally didn’t like to having to spend all day watching others bitterly cultivate and their strength constantly rising . He decided to just stay here the entire time .

And so a month pa.s.sed, just like that . Long Chen’s blood was crazily roaring as the thunderforce runes in his body continuously surged .

During this month, Long Chen had spent day and night being tempered by that thunderforce . The runes in his blood had also grown slightly over this time . Naturally, Long Chen felt a corresponding increase in the strength of his thunderforce as well .

Back when Long Chen had fought with Yin Luo, he had released a thunderforce attack . But he hadn’t managed to control it properly and it had ended up dispersing .

And yet its power had still been terrifying . If Yin Luo hadn’t taken out a precious treasure at that time, he most definitely would have died .

Now Long Chen’s thunderforce was even stronger than back then .

These thunderforce runes were like little housepets he had raised . As long as Long Chen wished it, he would be able to unleash their power .

Furthermore, as those runes grew stronger, his control also increased . In the future, his attacks probably wouldn’t go out of his control and disperse like last time .

With a final explosive sound from the sky, the black clouds disappeared, leaving behind only sunlight and regular, white clouds .

“Tch, after a month, all the thunderforce has been used up . ” Long Chen couldn’t help sighing .

He had really overfished the thunderforce here .

Last time he had absorbed away over half the thunderforce here . But now he had spent a whole month, absorbing day and night . All of it was gone now .

Long Chen estimated that it would require several months, and perhaps even a whole year, for the thunderforce here to finally recover to its original level .
