28: Wind and Thunder Valley

This Battle Technique was far too terrifying; even among those of the Ji Family who cultivated it, there were often those who perished.

Ji Yaoyao had naturally cultivated it before, but she only dared to practice the first few punches. She didn't dare to practice the later ones, otherwise her Supreme Physique would have shattered!

Ji Yaoyao stared at Ji Wuchang. For some reason, she felt that Ji Wuchang might actually be able to Revered Master it!

But there was no rush now; she would observe Ji Wuchang for a while longer!

Ji Wuchang naturally didn't know about the events outside at this moment, nor did he know Ji Yaoyao's thoughts.

He was completely immersed in a state of Epiphany!

The spiritual energy within his body was mobilized by him, continuously washing away the black substance on his bones.

Following the frantic impact of the spiritual energy, these black substances continuously peeled off from the bones, then turned into wisps of black smoke and drifted out of his body.

As time passed, Ji Wuchang felt the black substance on his bones getting less and less, and his heart was filled with joy.

But just then, he felt his Divine Soul rapidly weakening, which made Ji Wuchang sigh inwardly. He hadn't expected the time for half an incense stick to pass so quickly!

However, Ji Wuchang knew very well that the black substance on the bones had not been completely cleaned yet!

Ji Wuchang slowly opened his eyes and was stunned to see his Revered Master and the others nearby. He quickly stood up, cupped his fists, and said, "Greetings, Revered Master!"

With a flicker of her body, Meng Caihong arrived beside Ji Wuchang, a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

"Although your cultivation hasn't changed, your entire temperament is completely different. The golden light is restrained within your skin, and your physical strength is majestic and full of vitality. Good! Good!"

Meng Caihong said 'good' twice in a row, showing her inner excitement!

"Congratulations, Junior Brother! Best wishes, Junior Brother!"

Zeng Linghong spoke with a smile; he was genuinely happy for his Junior Brother.

An Kecin and Tai Yujie pinched their noses and also offered their congratulations to Ji Wuchang, but the fire of jealousy in their hearts had long since twisted their souls.

One look and you could tell it was the kind of smile that didn't reach the eyes!

Ji Wuchang was in a happy mood at the moment and didn't care what they thought. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Revered Master, and thank you, Senior Brother and Senior Sisters! It was an accident, all an accident!"

The matter of an Epiphany was something that could be sought but not guaranteed. It was not an exaggeration for Ji Wuchang to call it an accident!

Meng Caihong then encouraged Ji Wuchang with a few words before turning to leave.

As soon as she left, the other three didn't stay much longer and all took their leave!

Seeing them depart, Ji Wuchang finally began to carefully examine his own Physical Body!

At this moment, Ji Wuchang felt his body filled with an explosive power.

This power was extremely formidable. If Ji Wuchang were to face Xiao Fan right now, even without using spiritual energy and relying solely on physical strength, it would be enough to beat Xiao Fan into the ground!

With the removal of physical Impurities, Ji Wuchang felt as if his entire being had been sublimated!

He keenly realized that his perception of spiritual energy had reached a new level! He could feel the spiritual energy as if it were swirling around him.

"Could it be that my root bone has been improved?"

This thought suddenly popped into Ji Wuchang's mind, and his eyes couldn't help but burn with fervor.

It seemed he should find an opportunity to test it. If his root bone really had improved, that would be a massive gain!

For the next three days, Ji Wuchang did not leave his residence, earnestly cultivating the Jade-Shattering Finger, but unfortunately, he had yet to even reach the entry level.

Just yesterday, when he had the System sign in again, there were no rewards at all.

This morning, Ji Wuchang decided to go to a certain place: Wind and Thunder Valley!

This was the most fearsome place in the Changsheng Sect, but also a place many people frequented.

Wind and Thunder Valley was a very special place; lightning fell from the sky almost constantly, forming a natural Thunder Pool here.

Normally, according to the Sect's regulations, those entering Wind and Thunder Valley had to be at the Foundation Establishment Realm or above.

Currently, Ji Wuchang was at the Peak of the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Realm and should not be able to enter Wind and Thunder Valley.

But yesterday, Ji Wuchang paid a visit to his Revered Master, Meng Caihong, and through persistent pestering, he got Meng Caihong to agree to his request.

The reason Meng Caihong agreed was naturally because Ji Wuchang's Physical Body was indeed no worse than those at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

When Ji Wuchang arrived at the entrance of Wind and Thunder Valley, Jia Yuanliang's brow instantly furrowed slightly.

Jia Yuanliang was the Eighth Elder of the Changsheng Sect, with a cultivation at the seventh layer of the Purple Mansion Realm, and he managed Wind and Thunder Valley.

"Greetings, Eighth Elder!"

Seeing Jia Yuanliang, Ji Wuchang quickly stepped forward and cupped his fists in greeting.

In his past life, Jia Yuanliang had been neither good nor bad to Ji Wuchang, doing everything according to the Sect's rules; his personality was relatively stiff.

But precisely because of this, Ji Wuchang had a good impression of Jia Yuanliang.

Unfortunately, Jia Yuanliang didn't have much longer to live. If Ji Wuchang remembered correctly, two years from now, Jia Yuanliang would go out and die abroad.

As for whether he was killed by someone or how he died, Ji Wuchang couldn't remember clearly!

"Leave quickly; this is not a place for those in the Qi Refining Realm!"

Jia Yuanliang had seen many people in the Qi Refining Realm like Ji Wuchang who wanted to visit Wind and Thunder Valley, so he spoke directly to drive him away.

Ji Wuchang was not surprised and quickly took out a medallion! It was the token of the Third Elder, Meng Caihong.

"Eighth Elder, my Revered Master has permitted me to come to Wind and Thunder Valley for a trial!"

Jia Yuanliang glanced at the medallion, his brow furrowing slightly, but he still nodded.

"Acclimatize yourself at the outermost edge of the Thunder Pool. Do not go deep, otherwise, once your meridians are damaged, it will be too late for regrets!"

Jia Yuanliang cautioned Ji Wuchang, then with a wave of his hand, a crack appeared in the boundary that originally shrouded Wind and Thunder Valley, just enough for one person to pass through.

Ji Wuchang put away the medallion, cupped his fists to thank Jia Yuanliang, and then flew into the crack!

Jia Yuanliang watched Ji Wuchang's disappearing figure, his eyes narrowing slightly, and then he murmured to himself, "Interesting!"

At this moment, the scene appearing before Ji Wuchang was completely different.

He saw a thick layer of thunderclouds in the sky, with bolts of lightning constantly falling from above.

And below was a vast Thunder Pool, stretching out into the distance.

Both sides of the Thunder Pool were like precipitous cliffs, dozens of feet high! Man-made stone steps appeared on the cliff walls on both sides.

On both sides of the cliff walls, there were square platforms. On some platforms, people sat cross-legged, with lightning flickering across their bodies.

One couldn't just sit on these platforms at random. The higher up one went, the greater the power of the lightning; only those with higher cultivation dared to sit up there.

At the very top of the stone platforms, Ji Wuchang saw a beautiful figure sitting cross-legged, with a long sword resting across her knees.

At this moment, her eyes were closed, and she allowed the power of lightning from the cliff walls to drill into her body, without the slightest change in her expression!

The people around looked at that beautiful figure, and their eyes couldn't help but show a look of awe.

"It's her!"
