“In front … In front is the Land of Thunder.”

At this moment, both You Chang and You Qin’s bodies couldn’t help but tremble slightly, not knowing if it was because of the thunder that often sounded by their ears without warning, or if it was something else.

The two of them looked at the place where the lightning clouds were gathered. They had never seen such a scene before. It was as if the boundless lightning clouds were right above their heads. If they straightened their waist slightly, they would touch it.

The lightning chains that constantly passed through the thunderclouds caused one’s heart to tremble even more. It was hard to imagine how this ancient land of silence could have gathered so many, so terrifying heavenly thunder.

No matter how high one’s cultivation was, they didn’t dare to underestimate the Heavenly Lightning in the Land of Thunder. No one dared to risk their lives to provoke the might of the heavens. Unless their cultivation had reached the True Cave Stage and they were able to contend against the immortals of the Heavenly Realm, they might be able to withstand this part of the Heavenly Lightning by themselves.

Perhaps there were too many thunderclouds gathered here, or perhaps the distance between them was too far. Even now, Xiao Chen was still unable to sense the aura of the immortal tree that You Qin and You Chang had mentioned. However, he was sure that not far away was where Lei Ze was.

The Land of Thunder was the most terrifying place in the entire sea of lightning, and it was also the most terrifying place of heavenly thunder. Not to mention the many cultivators that had come recently, even though there were no people in the past, heavenly thunder often descended, turning the place into a land of death.

Due to the intrusion of countless cultivators, the area became even more dangerous. Almost every day, people died under the lightning bolts. Some cultivators who hadn’t yet transformed into spirits had already retreated silently and didn’t dare to go further inside. Even those who had already transformed into spirits and even comprehended the Concept of the Heavenly Dao were extremely cautious.

After walking a distance further, the four of them arrived at the Land of Thunder. They could see charred withered trees, broken rocks, and cracked land everywhere.

There was originally an extremely vast lake here, but in some unknown year, the lake water completely dried up, leaving behind only a boundless expanse of mud and rocks.

The thunderclouds in the sky were getting lower and lower, and the sunlight could no longer shine down. Only lightning passed through the clouds one after another, emitting bursts of intense and dazzling light.

Many figures had already appeared in the distance, but even if they were walking in the valley, they would still feel this threat from the heavens at all times.

No one dared to walk towards that high place. Lightning clouds were scattered in the low sky, and walking towards that high place was akin to courting death. Heavenly lightning could descend from that high cliff at any time.

Xiao Chen and the others were the same. Walking carefully in the valley, when they arrived at an empty area, they saw many people gathered nearby. On a high cliff in the distance, the fog on the edge of the cliff was dense, forming a ball of white mist. Everyone could not see what was inside the white mist, but they could feel the ancient immortal energy.

Obviously, inside the white mist was the Ancient Immortal Tree that grew in the Land of Thunder. At this moment, everyone was waiting for the mist to dissipate to peek at the Ancient Era’s Immortal Tree.

Right now, no one dared to go up. It was only because two days ago, someone who was not afraid of death wanted to see what was going on. However, when they arrived at the edge of the cliff, they would not be able to penetrate that white mist. That white mist was like a barrier that prevented anyone from approaching.

Naturally, some people were unwilling. They wanted to forcefully break through the white mist with their magic power, but the end result was to attract heavenly lightning. Under the heavenly lightning, they would be annihilated.

Right now, no one dared to come any closer. They could only wait, waiting for the white mist to disperse by itself. When the mist dispersed, it would be the time for the tree to ripen for thousands of years.

Everyone was waiting. When the Vermillion Fruit matured, there would be a battle of life and death. According to rumors, eating a single bite of the Vermillion Fruit would increase one’s lifespan by a hundred years. If one consumed a complete Vermillion Fruit, it would increase one’s lifespan by a thousand years. What kind of concept was that? That was to live another thousand years, especially for those who had high cultivation levels but were about to die, and they would definitely risk their lives for this.

At this moment, You Chang and You Qin had already deeply felt that apart from the layers of thunder clouds gathered in the low sky, this land of thunder was also filled with a cold killing intent.

Wuwang Sea was not like Xianyuan Five Realms. There was still order in Xianyuan Five Realms. Even if it was to compete for treasures, there would not be a life-or-death battle between the various sects. There would not be too much slaughter. However, Wuwang Sea was different. Fights in Wuwang Sea would often result in rivers of blood. Everyone fought with their lives, and no one would show mercy.

At this moment, Xiao Chen was also observing with rapt attention. He was observing how many hidden experts were hiding nearby. As a result, the terrain was abnormal. His divine sense was also hindered, and he could no longer perceive them like the outside world. At this moment, he could only rely on a pair of naked eyes to observe.

“In the southeast, the eccentric sitting under the rock may have reached the Harmony Stage. In the northwest, the old man dressed in Qingyi may have a higher cultivation …”

After observing for a while, Xiao Chen only discovered these two people for the time being. Right now, he was unable to perceive them with his divine sense, so he could only speculate with his eyes. The results might not be accurate, so he could only use them as a general reference.

Meng Xian’er looked in the direction he was talking about. She saw a figure sitting under a large rock in the southeast. It was an old man with a withered body. His cheekbones were high and his eyes were closed. He looked like a dried corpse sitting there.

Near that person, there was no one else. From the looks of it, most people knew how to seek good fortune and avoid calamity. Although they didn’t know who that person was, they could feel a murderous aura coming from the other party’s body, so they all avoided it from far away.

After a while, Meng Xian’er looked towards the northwest again. The Old man Qingyi standing there looked much more energetic, and his complexion was rosy. Beside him was a Childe dressed in brocade clothes. This Childe had an extraordinary appearance, and his status must be extraordinary. Behind the two of them, there were quite a few black-clothed men, who seemed to be guards.

“Looks like there will be a lot of people who will snatch this Vermillion Fruit …”

Meng Xian’er withdrew her gaze and said indifferently. Even she couldn’t help but be tempted by the legendary Thousand Year Vermillion Fruit.

Seeing so many people nearby, You Chang and You Qin couldn’t help but secretly worry. Although the two of them knew how strong Xiao Chen was, after all, this place wasn’t from Lustless Heaven or Wuwang Sea, nor was it an ordinary person.

Three days passed like this. During these three days, many people stared fixedly at the white mist on the cliff. Over the past three days, the white mist had dispersed a lot. Vaguely, they could already see the shadow of an immortal tree inside.

Under everyone’s unwavering gaze, the last bit of white mist gradually dissipated towards noon. At this moment, the expressions on You Chang and You Qin’s faces became even more nervous. Xiao Chen sat down for three days and three nights. At this moment, he finally opened his eyes and looked towards the cliff.

The white mist finally dissipated. Everyone stood up and prepared. However, it seemed that everyone’s attention had been focused on the immortal tree at the edge of the cliff these past few days. No one noticed where the deep valley beneath the cliff was.
