Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 333: Tianlei Lake, the heroes arrive

"laugh--"

Above the azure sky, a huge four-winged tiger shadow flashed by, bringing up a visible violent air wave along the way, which slowly spread out. On the back of this eighth-rank tiger beast, several figures were sitting cross-legged on it.

"According to the current speed, we will reach Tianlei Lake, the entrance to the Thunder Realm, in another half an hour."

Xuan Kongzi, who was standing with his hands behind his back above the tiger's head, turned around and looked at the people on the tiger's back, especially Cao Ying, Dan Chen, Xiao Yan, Song Qing and Xin Lan.

He frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then spoke slowly in a solemn voice.

"Little guys, next, you will see the pinnacle of the younger generation of Douqi Continent."

"No matter if it's their cultivation or their alchemy skills, many of them are geniuses far beyond what you have seen or heard of in your daily life. You may even doubt yourself because of this! But..."

Xuan Kongzi changed the subject and said in a deep voice: "Remember one thing, the path of cultivation is very long, and its most important mark... is the destination you have reached."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions were solemn, and they clasped their fists and bowed respectfully: "Yes, Teacher (Master Xuan/President...)!"

Xuan Kongzi nodded slightly, and then his eyes shifted slightly to Lin Yuan: "Lin Yuan, the honor of Danta is in your hands this time! As I said before, you can rest assured to exert your full strength, and Danta will be your strong backing..."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Master Xuan, leave everything to me!"

Hearing this, Xuan Kongzi smiled with satisfaction and said gently: "If that's the case, then speed up..."

As soon as the words fell, the four-winged tiger beast flapped its wings violently, and its huge body rushed out like a meteor. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared at the end of the sky...
-
Thirty miles away from Tianlei Lake, Lin Yuan and others stopped and landed at a place where people gathered.

This is where you go through the entry procedures.

The area ahead has been blocked by the Thunder Clan, and a special perception barrier has been set up. If you don't hold the invitation to the First Thunder Ceremony, even if it's a magical beast, if you break in at will, you will be indiscriminately strangled by the patrolling Thunder Clan strongmen.

Only after a special mark is placed at the formalities will one be recognized as a guest by the perception barrier.

Danta was still very prestigious, and after discovering the identities of the people, he immediately sent someone he had arranged in advance to handle the matter, and soon, the group passed through the barrier.

After entering the barrier, the group quickly flew towards the center.

Lin Yuan sensitively noticed that the closer he got to the center, the more active the thunder element energy between heaven and earth became.

After walking for more than ten miles and crossing a long mountain range, a hundred-foot-high stone forest came into the sight of Lin Yuan and others. On some of the particularly tall stone pillars, each was engraved with the name of a powerful force.

"Dan Tower", "Hua Sect", "Tianming Sect", "Fenyan Valley", "Yin Valley", "Glacier Valley", "Guyun Sect", "Baojian Mountain"...

These names in Zhongzhou may be like flying dragons in the sky or hidden in the abyss, but without exception, they are all powerful forces with holy background.

At this moment, most of these stone pillars have at least one Dou Zun-level warrior sitting on top, and around these warriors are young warriors with considerable strength... exuding an uplifting aura.

Surrounded by numerous stone pillars, eight even taller ones stand upright in the center as if suppressing all directions.

"Ancient", "Soul", "Thunder", "Flame", "Medicine", "Stone", "Spirit", and "Xiao"!
Eight extremely ancient fonts are engraved on the eight sky-supporting stone pillars in the center, exuding an ancient and noble majesty.

These eight stone pillars represent the locations of the eight ancient tribes.

A few miles ahead of the eight clans’ stone pillars is a silver “lake” flashing with dazzling lightning. There… is Tianlei Lake, and the gate of the Thunder Clan is located in it.

"The people from the Thunder Clan who built this place had good taste, and um... were very careful!"

Lin Yuan glanced at the grand layout of the stone forest, then narrowed his eyes slightly, and his sight finally fell on the "Danta" stone pillar... and the "Canaan Academy" stone pillar next to it, and he secretly admired it in his heart.

Xiao Yan looked at the stone pillar with the word "Xiao" on it and couldn't help but feel excited - it turned out that the existence of the Xiao clan had not been completely forgotten by the world!

"Let's go, let's go there!"

Xuan Kongzi smiled faintly, stepped into the air and flew towards the "Danta" stone pillar. Seeing this, Lin Yuan and others also flew up and followed.

“The Xiao family, no... the Xiao clan, will surely return to the world one day!” Looking at the "Xiao" pillar that exuded a sense of loneliness, Xiao Yan took a deep breath, made up his mind secretly, and then spread his flaming wings and flew towards the "Danta" stone pillar.

Danta's 'return', led by Xuan Kongzi, one of the three giants, naturally attracted the attention of all parties.

In Zhongzhou, although Danta is not one of the eight clans, the existence of the six-star Dou Sheng ancestor Xuandan is enough to make it the first force under the Emperor clan.

Even among the Spirit and Stone clans, their strongest are only six-star Douluo.

If Soul Palace did not have the Soul Clan standing behind it, or if it itself was not a part of the Soul Clan, in terms of strength alone, Soul Palace alone would not be able to defeat Danta... A six-star Dou Sheng-level strongman is enough to suppress everything in Soul Palace.

The main reason why Lin Yuan was not interested in establishing a force was precisely this - improving himself by one more star would be more effective than establishing any force.

"Xuan Kongzi, welcome to my Thunder Clan!"

The moment it landed on the "Danta" stone pillar, an old voice came from the direction of the "Thunder" pillar.

Before he finished speaking, the space shook, and an old man in a silver robe mysteriously appeared in front of them. The aura on his body, which was much stronger than Xuan Kongzi's, showed that this person had already entered the saint realm and was at least a semi-saint.

"Old ghost Lei Xuan, it's been a long time since we last met!"

Feeling the powerful aura that the other party seemed to have "inadvertently" revealed, Xuan Kongzi smiled helplessly and said, "Alright, alright! I know you have become a saint, so stop showing off..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Lei Xuan, the ninth elder of the Thunder Clan... is a peer of Xuan Kongzi, just like Mang Tianchi. Both are people who handle external affairs in their respective forces. During the long years that belonged to the strong, the two naturally had no shortage of opportunities to interact with each other.

However, the three people who once had similar strength, whether it was Lei Xuan or Mang Tianchi, have left him far behind.

Thinking of this, even Xuan Kongzi couldn't help but envy the descendants of the Dou Emperor... Although it is still difficult, it is much easier for them to break through to the semi-saint level than ordinary people.

Even though the Spirit Clan and the Stone Clan seem to be in decline, the number of their Saint Realm powerhouses still far exceeds that of Danta.

Hearing Xuan Kongzi's envious tone, Lei Xuan was immediately delighted. He smiled and waved his hands, saying, "Haha, it's not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning! I'm only a high-level half-saint, and I'm still a long way from being a true Dou Sheng..."

Xuan Kongzi hit his forehead lightly and stopped talking. He just followed what the old man said. With his personality, he could still find ways to be proud for an hour.

Seeing this, Lei Xuan said "boring" in his heart, then turned his head to look at the people behind Xuan Kongzi, looking them up one by one.

"People who possess two kinds of strange fire, people with extremely powerful soul power, and..." Narrowing his eyes slightly, Lei Xuan looked at Lin Yuan, Zi Yan, Xiao Yixiang, and Qing Lin seriously - these four people seemed to have practiced some secret method, or were set up with some means that could not be easily seen through.

"Interesting!" He raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes, but he did not investigate further.

If something is intentionally hidden, then it is naturally a secret.

As for snooping into the guests' secrets, the Thunder Clan would never do such a tasteless thing... Anyway, no matter what the secret is, it will not cause any waves in the Thunder Clan.

Being able to easily suppress all unexpected events during the First Thunder Ceremony shows the Thunder Clan’s absolute confidence.

With a proud smile, Lei Xuan tilted his head to look at Lin Yuan who was standing at the head of the group, and confirmed: "Little guy, are you Lin Yuan? Lin Yuan, the Medicine Lord of Danta? Lin Yuan, the student of Mang Tianchi?"

“It’s the junior.” Lin Yuan nodded, then bowed and said in a deep voice: “Junior Lin Yuan, greetings to Senior Lei Xuan!”

"Not bad! Not bad!" Lei Xuan patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder and praised: "At such a young age, he is already an eighth-grade master and a Dou Zun strongman! This time, the old guy Mang Tianchi didn't brag. Canaan Academy has produced a real dragon..."

"Thank you for the compliment, senior!" Lin Yuan said calmly with a smile. He did not feel anything special because of the praise from a half-saint of the imperial family.

Seeing this demeanor, Lei Xuan's eyes became more appreciative.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

However, just as he was about to say something else, his expression suddenly changed slightly, as if something had suddenly entered his perception.

"This group of guys...are they going to fight for this kind of limelight?" Lei Xuan gritted his teeth and muttered in his heart, then said goodbye to Xuan Kongzi and Lin Yuan, and then flashed back to the "Thunder" pillar.

After Lin Yuan bowed to Xuan Kongzi, he took Zi Yan, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin to the stone pillar of "Canaan Academy" nearby.

The actions of several people immediately attracted everyone's attention.

There is no need to say much about Lin Yuan. The word "Medicine King" is almost synonymous with the word genius in the land of Zhongzhou today.

And his three daughters were the focus of the whole audience - although the ages of the three stunning beauties were unknown, their top-notch looks and cultivation of at least Dou Zong level were enough to make the female disciples of many forces present envious and the male disciples jealous.

However, seeing the casual intimacy between Lin Yuan and the others, everyone suddenly realized that these three charming flowers seemed to already have owners.

Realizing this, everyone looked at Lin Yuan with red eyes.

To be able to have one of these beauties is already a blessing from heaven, but Yao Jun could have three of them all? What merits and abilities did he have? Wasn't he just a little better at refining medicine?

If eyes had penetrating power, Lin Yuan would probably be riddled with holes at this moment.

However, although he had inadvertently become the "target of public criticism", Lin Yuan's heart did not fluctuate too much. He raised his eyes and casually glanced at Yun Yun among the people of Hua Zong, then looked in the direction of Fenyan Valley and gave her a greeting.

Seeing this, Tang Huoer showed a bright smile on her face and waved to Lin Yuan generously.

Beside her, Tang Zhen, who had already broken through to the Seven-Star Dou Zun level, couldn't help but feel helpless when he saw his daughter's condition, and then he nodded to Lin Yuan.

With a slight smile, Lin Yuan looked around and his gaze finally fell on the center.

What you see is a "huge lake" of a thousand feet, like a silver pearl inlaid on the earth. Surrounding the Tianlei Lake, circles of dark blue runes surround it, forming a giant bowl-like protective shield that wraps the entire Tianlei Lake.

In the lake, endless lightning elements transformed into countless thunders, wandering back and forth; on the lake surface, various sounds of wind and thunder were heard continuously, turning into a thunderous music.

"Is this Tianlei Lake? Such a unique aura..."

Looking at the thousand-foot thunder pond in front of him, Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly: "Although it is not as good as the void thunder pond near Dragon Island in terms of quality and quantity, but the thunder element is so abundant that it can be called an excellent treasure land."

"The spatial gate leading to the Thunder Realm is hidden deep in the Tianlei Lake... It is indeed secret!"

"With the protection of thunder and the barrier maintained by absorbing the energy of Tianlei Lake, the entrance to the Thunder Realm can be said to be impregnable. No wonder the Thunder Clan did not build a city to guard the entrance."

Exploring and analyzing Tianlei Ze in his mind, Lin Yuan nodded secretly.

With this kind of structure, if one wants to force a breakthrough from the outside, even a strong man at the peak of Dou Zun level may not be able to break through the shield and find the gate to the Thunder Realm.

Just as Lin Yuan was thinking, Qing Lin suddenly tugged at his sleeve.

"What's wrong, Qing'er?" Lin Yuan quickly put away his thoughts, turned his head to look at Qinglin, and asked in a low voice.

"Sir, I feel the Jade Balance Order." Qing Lin stood on tiptoe and whispered in Lin Yuan's ear, "It suddenly appeared in the northwest direction and is now flying towards us at a very fast speed. It will arrive in a quarter of an hour..."

"Yeah!" Lin Yuan nodded slightly and glanced at Xiao Yan not far away... That woman came after all, and this time it was going to be fun.

At this moment, he felt annoyed with the trouble, but also somewhat looking forward to having fun.

Time passes quickly while waiting.

At a certain moment, muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the distant sky, and then several thick dark clouds came towards Tianlei Lake from all directions.

"That is--"

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the dark clouds in the northwest. After a moment, his pupils suddenly shrank: "The warship traveling through the void, is it... a shuttle boat?"

In the dark clouds, there was actually a huge warship flying in the sky.

This warship was nearly a hundred feet long, with the ancient clan's emblem flashing on the bow. Dark clouds filled the area around the warship, and from a distance it looked as if the warship was riding on the dark clouds, bringing with it thunder and the might of heaven. It was so majestic and spectacular.

At the same time, the space around the warship fluctuated extremely violently, which was quite similar to when a spaceship was moving... This warship was actually traveling through space in a non-wormhole area.

This warship, which can use this method of travel, is exactly the Shuttle Boat recorded in ancient books.

The speed of the shuttle boat was indeed as Qinglin had just said, incredibly fast, and not inferior to the full speed of Hei Qing, who was at the peak of the Dou Zun level.

"As expected of a power that has been passed down for thousands of years, they have even preserved this lost technology!"

With a sigh, Lin Yuan tilted his head and looked around. The other five dark clouds were also warships similar to the ancient clan's warships, but the marks on the bows of each warship were different - some were flame patterns, some were boulder patterns, and some were medicine gourd patterns...

After the six warships appeared in everyone's sight, in just a few blinks of an eye, they flashed over at an unusually fast speed and spanned the sky above Tianlei Lake.

The eight ancient tribes gathered together!
