”Hu, hu, hu, hu...!”
Junior Leopard panted heavily, feeling as if his lungs were ripping at his heart with every breath he took. It was not that he was very tired, but that he had been given quite a scare by the figure in the clouds.
Zhou Bao, a person with a wealth of experience, had a deep understanding of how the world operated. In fact, he had seen two worlds in his two lifetimes, so naturally he knew how much power thunder had.
He had learnt from science class in middle school that thunderbolts could generally reach 100 million volts. As for the extremely powerful ones, they were at least a hundred billion volts, or even a trillion volts and higher.
This was the power of thunderbolts!
Though this world was different from his previous, some basic physical laws regarding lightning were the same. In his previous life, he had heard stories of people who had survived a lightning strike. But that was totally nonsensical in this world. One could not be more dead after being struck by lightning no matter how high his cultivation was. This showed that the thunderbolt in this world was much more powerful. But what about now?
He was watching a guy, standing in the air, right beside the dark clouds, still being struck by the thunderbolts. Oh, no! The guy was blocked by the dark clouds. He wasn't able to see clearly what was happening inside. But even so, he had seen with his own eyes that this man had been struck by two flashes of lightning.
He was really freaked out!
”Are there actually Immortals in this world?!” Junior Leopard's heart was beating fast and the words ”Pulse-Fixating, Blood-Changing, Marrow-Cleansing” kept flashing through his mind.
Everyone knew cultivation could be divided into three realms: Skin Toughening, Bone Forging and Tendon Changing!
Every realm had three levels so there were nine levels in total. Above Level Nine, there was the legendary Mysterious Realm!
But what was the Mysterious Realm actually like?
Few people knew!
In fact, among people Junior Leopard knew, no one would know except Wang She whose cultivation had already reached Level Nine!
But Junior Leopard somehow knew in his heart that this Mysterious Realm above Level Nine must have something to do with Pulse-Fixating, Blood-Changing and Marrow-Cleansing. Even more likely, these were the dividing standards of the Mysterious Realm.
”Forget it. I'll just let it be, it's no use thinking about Level Nine or The Mysterious Realm now. I'll think about it when I reach Level Seven!” Junior Leopard said to himself. He raised his head and looked at the dark clouds which covered the sky. Listening to the roaring thunder, he sighed softly and turned to leave.
No matter who it was in the sky, it was none of his business. He didn't want to have anything to do with him now, either.
”Ah—!”
Just as he turned around, he cried out in alarm and retreated backwards 10 meters. With Internal Qi circulating inside his body, he stared straight ahead in horror.
In front of him, or behind him, stood a man. Even with his cultivation, Junior Leopard could not figure out when the man had appeared there.
”There is indeed someone watching me. But I didn't expect a boy like you!”
The man wore a golden robe; he had a plain face and bright eyes. Junior Leopard could see clearly that he was the Stranger who had been struck by the thunderbolts just now. The man raised his hands moving to seize Junior Leopard.
Of course, Junior Leopard would not stand there and await his doom. Seeing the man's hands coming, Junior Leopard bellowed and his feet pushed into the ground as he prepared to step back again.
...
...
”Oh no!”
When his feet moved, Junior Leopard felt something was wrong. The two big hands which seemed to move freely shrouded everything like a huge cover. No matter in which direction Junior Leopard retreated, he could not avoid the hands. Shocked, both his hands pushed forward suddenly. He didn't dare to hold back his strength anymore. With red light glowing, three Fire Dragons flew out from his body and headed for the big hand.
”Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire! You are a disciple of Tian Long Taoism?!” Seeing Junior Leopard release three Fire Dragons, the man seemed slightly surprised, but he didn't stop. Instead he grasped the Fire Dragons in his hands. To Junior Leopard's horror, the man crushed the Fire Dragons with little effort. At the same time, an invisible power arose and constrained Junior Leopard's movements. His expression changed. A red light flashed between Junior Leopard's eyebrows and then a red sword Qi shot toward the mysterious man.
”Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword?!”
The man's expression turned somewhat strange, but he was still cautious about the Extreme Yang Through Sky Sword that shot toward him. His golden robe sleeve closed slightly and the powerful Qi of the Extreme Yang Through Sky Sword was gathered to one side.
POOF! A red light flashed. A thin sword Qi pierced through his golden robe and then disappeared, making him raise his eyebrows.
”This is indeed Extreme Yang Through Sky Sword condensed by Qi of Blood Essence Evil Yuan! There is also a single Fiery Eye used as External Elixir! Oh, no, you have one more External Elixir - the skull of Dragon Chimera from primitive times. And you have even refined the kindling of the Dragon Chimera! Interesting. This is quite interesting!”
He took one glance and his expression became weird. After all, few people in this world could have had the same luck as Junior Leopard did. Besides, Junior Leopard had two External Elixirs which were both of the highest quality.
Seeing that the man could know so much about himself with only a glance, Junior Leopard's face turned white. Except for his Fiery Eyes, the man had known everything else about him, even things he didn't know. The so-called Dragon Chimera from primitive times must be the strange earthworm he had met in Misty Mountain.
At the sight of Junior Leopard's white face, the man laughed unexpectedly. He said, ”Don't be so nervous. I don't have much intention to do harm to you!”
Don't have much intention to do me harm? That means there is at least a little intention. Though it was just a little, Junior Leopard was not willing to bear any from such a powerful person.
”I disturbed your practice without knowing it. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me!”
”At first I was just curious about how you could see me from such a distance. Now I understand, seeing that you have a Fiery Eye as External Elixir. It must be that your eyes have absorbed some powers from Fiery Eye. Though not as good as the Fiery Eye, you can see farther than common people. It is no wonder that you could see me!”
”You are absolutely right!” Hearing his words, Junior Leopard breathed a secret sigh of relief. Though this man had an eagle eye, he hadn't discovered that he had the bloodline of Fiery Eyes. Maybe the External Elixir between Junior Leopard's eyebrows had thrown him off. Thinking of this, Junior Leopard became even more cautious.
”Your cultivation is only at Level Four, but you've already practiced the second state of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique and even condensed the Extreme Yang Through Sky Sword with Qi of Blood Essence Evil Yuan. That's quite an amazing achievement!”
”It's just luck!” Junior Leopard said hastily. Under these circumstances, he dared not speak even one extra word.
”Luck is also part of cultivation. It's also because of luck that I have the cultivation I have now!” The man thought for a moment and said, ”It seems that you have inherited the whole Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique. Are you a disciple from Tian Long Taoism?”
”I came from the Wu Family. And what I learned is indeed Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique!” Junior Leopard didn't dare to lie before such a person, so he told the truth. ”Chief Wang She from Tian Long Taoism taught me the complete Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique method!”
”Wu Family?” The man frowned slightly. It seemed that he had never heard of it. Then he asked, ”How did this Wu Family you mentioned know the secret method of Tian Long Taoism?!”
”Uh?!” Junior Leopard broke into a sweat. He smiled wryly and said, ”What the ancestor of the Wu Family who came from Tian Long Taoism practiced was exactly this Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique method.”
”Well, that makes sense!” The man nodded and said, ”I've been away from the world for years and know little about what has happened in Jianghu. I'd never thought that Tian Long Taoism would let others learn the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique!”
Away from the world for years?
