Once It Happened Often Enough, People Stopped Paying It Much Mind
"No, I cannot disturb my master's Sudden Enlightenment."
After a moment, the system seemed to have made a decision.
After that, the system returned to a quiet state.
As for Lu Changzhi, he was completely unaware of what had happened and continued to immerse himself in a state of Sudden Enlightenment.
Boom boom boom!
As time went on, the thunder grew increasingly deafening, and even the ground not far away trembled slightly when it struck.
Only after the seventh thunderclap did the astonishing pressure of the Lightning Tribulation in the sky begin to slowly dissipate.
Above the sky, the dense dark clouds began to gradually dissipate as the Lightning Tribulation ended.
Despite the presence of a sufficiently large array for concealment, the area of dark clouds surrounding a phenomenon like lightning punishment is not so easily obscured when it appears.
There are still many areas where dark clouds are gathering, as can be observed by many.
"Those dark clouds arrived so quickly, it doesn't seem like a typical rainy day. And I have a feeling that those clouds themselves are not simple either. Do you think it's possible that someone triggered a lightning strike earlier?"
As they walked along the road, someone shared their guess with the others.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the group looked over with a somewhat amused expression and said:
"Lightning punishment, it seems, can only be summoned when one breaks through to the Saint, right? Do you think anyone in our secret realm can break through to the Saint Realm?"
"If it were truly a lightning punishment, then it wouldn't be just this small commotion. You seem to be overthinking things."
Upon hearing this, the person who spoke first spoke up:
"You still don't believe me? Let me tell you, back when the Cloud Heaven Holy Land claimed to have an ancestor breaking through to the Saint, I witnessed the Lightning Tribulation from afar. Just looking at the dark clouds, it was very similar to what I remembered."
"Alright." The bystander waved his hand.
"I saw what happened at the Cloud Heaven Holy Land. Lightning Tribulation Lightning Tribulation actual thunder; you can't deduce it just by looking at dark clouds. The most important thing is the thunder itself. Forget about the purple thunder at the Cloud Heaven Holy Land; have you ever seen or heard ordinary thunder or thunder?"
These words silenced the person who had been making the guess.
At this moment, another person raised their finger and pointed to the sky, saying:
"Look, dark clouds are gathering again. It can't be that someone has broken through to the Saint Realm again, can it? Would you believe that? I certainly don't."
"I don't believe it either. I suspect all this commotion is because of the Nine-Story Tower; maybe someone got something from it."
The group began to discuss this, but paid little further attention to the gathering dark clouds in the sky.
This unique situation has attracted much attention.
These two unique circumstances still attract attention.
But when it happens a little more often, people start to take it for granted.
Time passed little by little.
On the ninth floor of the tower, Lu Changzhi sat cross-legged, as immovable as a mountain, continuing to immerse himself in Long-Lasting Perfect Sudden Enlightenment.
On the other side, two beams of light entered the seventh level one after another, but they did not continue to advance for a long time, as if they were trapped on the seventh level.
In the blink of an eye, with everyone busy or having something interesting to watch, the night passed quietly.
The next morning, light entered the seventh floor again.
But not long after, a beam of light went out on the seventh floor.
"This... has failed?" Everyone noticed this and their expressions changed slightly.
If the seventh level fails, who knows how much light will be lost within it.
"Look, the eighth floor!"
Someone gasped softly.
Everyone quickly looked up.
Then, a light slowly began to illuminate the eighth floor.
Someone has entered the eighth floor!
"It's a pity. We don't know who went in. Just guessing isn't a solution."
"How can the gap between people be so huge? I used all my strength to get to the third level, while others are almost at the ninth level."
"Brother, you're lucky. I'm in a much worse situation. If my radiance weren't insufficient, I feel I could definitely have entered the fourth level."
"The Saint King..." Someone said with envy, "When will I be so lucky as to get one..."
"I've been here almost a day already. You guys keep watching, but remember to keep an eye on what's going on. I have to go now, I can't stay any longer."
"No, we're already here. Why leave so soon? There's nothing urgent. What's wrong with looking around a little longer?"
The man waved his hand and spoke:
"No, what belongs to others is theirs, and even if I look at it, it's not mine. I need to use this time to see if I can find a place to snag a bargain. Besides, haven't you noticed that there are fewer and fewer people here already?"
"Hey, you rascal, how come I didn't think of that? Wait for me!"
In the jungle.
After a night of healing and rest, Qin Han resumed his search.
Although his injuries haven't fully healed yet, the thought of others becoming stronger by using the Nine-Story Tower while he himself is about to fall behind is agonizing.
As he rode the flying boat, Qin Han carefully observed the terrain below.
A short while later, his expression shifted slightly.
He noticed a group of people in the jungle below.
This group of people moved hurriedly, rushing towards a certain direction, not towards the Nine-Story Tower, but towards another place in the opposite direction.
"Have these people discovered something?"
Qin Han's expression shifted slightly.
Such a hasty and purposeful move is hard not to make some connections.
Upon closer inspection, Qin Han noticed the same mark on these people.
"This mark should belong to the Dongfang Clan in the Southern Region."
Qin Han pondered for a moment.
He had some understanding of the forces in the various regions.
However, judging from recent news about the Dongfang Clan, it seems that the Dongfang Clan is not doing very well.
It seems they were shaved bald by the people from the Star Moon Holy Land, and the younger generation who came to the secret realm this time are not particularly outstanding in strength.
After thinking it over, Qin Han gave up his plan to follow them and take a look.
"We can't afford to be distracted by anything else; let's look for clues on the map first."
Such a hurried journey might not necessarily mean they've discovered treasure; it could also be to rescue someone.
In that case, following the past would undoubtedly be a waste of time and energy.
With his mind at ease, Qin Han restarted the flying boat and began searching according to the original plan.
The map was small, which made it special; it took me all morning to find it.
A whole morning passed, and I hadn't accomplished anything.
Finding such a small location in a vast, hidden realm, with extremely limited features, is like finding a needle in a haystack.
However, having decided to find it, there's no reason to give up easily.
Time passed slowly, and Qin Han continued his search.
