Even with Black Annihilation protecting his body, the stinging sensation remained intensely strong.
Merely a single minute had passed, and Chen Lang already felt himself growing scorched and numb!
He even developed an impulse to just give up.
Yet his urges to retreat were repeatedly driven by the desire to grow stronger deep inside his heart, and in the end he still persisted, stepping forward onto the top of the black rock.
When his entire person arrived beside that Thunder Pillar, the more terrifying impact he had imagined did not strike him. Taking its place was the gentle yet abundant irrigation of the Power of Lightning!
Feeling his nebula begin to expand without even needing to cultivate, Chen Lang instantly felt that the previous pain had not been suffered in vain.
According to what Old Master recounted, cultivating here could reach an average rate of nearly sixty times normal at maximum.
Yet that was outside this black rock, provided by the highest energy within the cavern.
No matter which cavern one entered, it was extremely difficult. Nor was everyone able to directly obtain the best cultivation.
Like the black rock Chen Lang was currently on, no one had ever set foot upon it until now, and the cultivation speed at this moment had nearly reached over 800 times!
He knew that it would definitely decrease later on, but even so, this was already several times more than those who entered here to cultivate!
"Zizizi..."
Following the joy, Chen Lang calmed his mind and absorbed the Lightning Element here.
The vast nebula at this moment was like a huge vacuum cleaner, and the Magic Power poured into his body was swallowed by it almost all at once.
At first, this exaggerated infusion made Chen Lang feel somewhat frightened.
Yet after a long time, Chen Lang discovered that he had no discomfort whatsoever.
Even aside from being able to feel the expansion of the nebula, he felt nothing else at all!
At this instant, he also completely set his mind at ease...
The cultivation multiplier was constantly diminishing, but when the time reached the third day, his nebula had expanded to the second tier.
These three days were already equivalent to several years of normal cultivation without encountering any opportunities.
From this, one could see just how profound the energy contained within his Lightning Element was.
In the days that followed, the Magic Power continued to rise at a flying speed.
Only, judging by the degree of breaking through the second-tier nebula, he was afraid his cultivation would struggle to reach the third tier.
Yet Chen Lang could sense that the energy here clearly was not just limited to this.
This evidently did not belong to the critical point here.
Noticing this, Chen Lang stopped his continued cultivation and instead stood up to observe the situation here. Compared to the agony of first stepping here, down here he no longer felt anything at all.
After getting up, relying on his perception of the Lightning Element, Chen Lang unconsciously drew closer to the Thunder Pillar.
He could clearly perceive that the place where this energy was most abundant was this Thunder Pillar.
Although he had found the place with more plentiful energy, Chen Lang did not know for a moment how to absorb the energy within it.
"Zizizi..."
"Zizizi..."
Right at this moment, Chen Lang could distinctly feel the fluctuation of Black Annihilation's Power of Lightning.
Subconsciously, he reached out his hand and condensed black lightning.
With his hand covered in Black Annihilation, Chen Lang boldly reached out and touched the Thunder Pillar...
Reaching his hand inside, there was no danger whatsoever; instead, even more profound lightning force continuously poured into his body!
When Chen Lang had arrived here earlier, he always felt something was not quite right, but he never imagined that the true essence location was actually this condensed Thunder Pillar!
Confirming that it had no harmful nature, Chen Lang's Black Annihilation instantly covered his entire body, and then he sat down and plunged right into it.
"Rumble rumble rumble~~~!!!"
The exceptionally thick Thunder Pillar completely enveloped Chen Lang within it, and as Chen Lang's quiet cultivation began, this place seemed as though no one had ever visited it.
The electric currents that had originally fluctuated all around also completely quieted down at this very moment...
Inside a dim room, a detached voice emanated from the shadows, filled with displeasure: "Hu Jin, although this time was merely a test, the result makes me very dissatisfied."
"Lord Salan, it is this subordinate who handled matters poorly." Great Steward Huzin knelt on the ground with weak legs, sincerely admitting his fault.
"Have you figured out whether the appearance of the Chen clan members in Bocheng was a coincidence, or..."
Great Steward Huzin immediately explained, "My lord, it has already been confirmed that it was because a profligate young master of the Chen clan took a fancy to Mu Ningxue..."
"Better so... Let the matter of the test site go, but the Earth Sacred Spring must be obtained!"
"Yes."
A month's time quickly passed.
As the time arrived, Chen Ming and the others opened the Holy Land entrance, but what shocked them in their hearts was that after searching around, they completely failed to find Chen Lang's whereabouts!
It was as if he had vanished entirely.
There were no changes here at all, as though no one had ever entered.
However, the elders responsible for guarding this place could confirm that Chen Lang had definitely not left from here.
Clearly he had not left, yet they consistently could not find Chen Lang...
With a continuous day of searching yielding no results, they were also forced to alarm Chen Jin in Kyoto.
Learning of this matter, Chen Jin hurried over here that very night.
Compared to the others who could not perceive Chen Lang within the Thunder Pillar.
By virtue of Chen Jin's cultivation, almost the moment he arrived here, his gaze lingered upon that black rock.
This piece of rock had been forged through absorbing nature's lightning for many years.
Similarly, this exceptionally thick Thunder Pillar was naturally condensed in the exact same way.
Relying on his formidable perception, Chen Jin was already able to determine that Chen Lang was right within it.
Only, what made him feel incredible was that this thick natural lightning, which even High-level mages were unable to resist, Chen Lang was actually able to stay right inside it!
"Clan Head, little Lang won't..." Chen Ming's complexion was exceptionally ugly, as he had already prepared himself for the worst.
Not just Chen Ming, even the two elders responsible for guarding this place, as well as the personal bodyguard Ink Shadow, were filled with bitterness in their hearts.
If anything truly happened to Chen Lang, could they possibly have it good?
"He's fine."
Gazing at the several people present wearing expressions of bitterness one by one, Chen Jin withdrew his gaze and slowly spoke.
"?"
At this moment, these people were all filled with doubt in their hearts.
They had searched everywhere here, yet saw no trace of Chen Lang...
Chen Jin did not offer them any explanation, only saying indifferently, "You all head out first, and keep the matters here confidential."
"Yes."
Although full of questions, when Chen Jin spoke, they could only keep them to themselves.
As those people departed, Chen Jin also drew closer to the black rock here.
When he stepped in here back then, he was unable to climb this piece of rock.
Yet the current him required no protection whatsoever; walking just like normal, he easily stepped foot onto the rock.
"Zizizi..."
Electric currents appeared once more, yet no matter how thousands of wisps of current twisted, they were never able to touch Chen Jin in the slightest.
Even, the instant purple-blue lightning radiance emerged around Chen Jin's body, the electric currents here instantly dissipated!!
Suppressing the Lightning Element here, Chen Jin finally arrived before the Thunder Pillar.
And upon reaching here, he was likewise able to completely ascertain that Chen Lang was cultivating right inside it!
Even... he seemed to have completely lost himself.
From the very beginning of the Magic Awakening, Chen Jin had known that Chen Lang would be an outstanding lightning mage.
Yet looking at it now, perhaps his horizons were still somewhat small...
Chen Lang's growth speed, along with his own innate affinity for the Lightning Element, was simply astounding!!
