My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 531 Lei Yanshan

Seven days later,
Inside the dilapidated gate of the Xiangshan Sect,
Amidst the incomplete and confusing array that disrupted perception and vision, Shen Changchuan carefully avoided the killing arrays embedded within the flawed and deceptive formations, which emitted terrifying fluctuations.
After walking along a long, secluded path, we arrived at the foot of a bare, rocky mountain.

This stone mountain is thousands of feet high and is made entirely of dark rock. Looking up from the foot of the mountain, you can vaguely see what appear to be blue electric snakes crawling across its surface.

Accompanied by the faint rumble of thunder, a wave of intense heat washed over us.

"Lei Yanshan!"

In front of this barren, rocky mountain, there is a huge stone with three large characters written on it in bold, powerful strokes, telling the story of the mountain's name.

However, in that great battle three hundred years ago,
The entire Xiangshan Sect suffered unimaginable devastation, and so did this giant rock.

Spiderweb-like cracks spread across its surface, the entire boulder shattered, and even the final "mountain" character collapsed, turning into a pile of rubble.

Shen Changchuan glanced at it briefly.
They did not linger for long.

At this moment, his gaze was completely drawn to the scene before him.

Ahead, on the road, fragmented spatial rifts, like a mirror, were faintly visible.

As the thunderous roar of Thunderflame Mountain reverberated, cracks appeared in the void surrounding the mountain, flickering and undulating.

Don't be fooled by the seemingly gentle appearance of these spatial rifts; compared to the shattered sky above, their power is negligible and they appear to pose no threat whatsoever.
But in fact,

Their sharpness and terror far exceed ordinary people's imagination!

That power from the tearing of space,
Ordinary cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage would be utterly unable to withstand it.
Even if Shen Changchuan were to accidentally bump into it, he could be instantly cut in half!
"This is a trap at every turn!"

Looking at the void surrounding the mountain, with its crisscrossing and faintly visible spatial cracks,

Shen Changchuan's heart sank.

"This is too dangerous!"

"With these ever-present and intermittent spatial forces, a slight misstep could result in being decapitated!"

"But should we give up this opportunity now?"

For a time,

Shen Changchuan frowned, caught in a dilemma.

The secret land of Thunderflame Mountain before us,

It was during his seven days of searching in the ruins of the Xiangshan Sect's main gate that he discovered this.

A place of opportunity was discovered by sorting through the jade slips in the storage bags of the remains of some Xiangshan Sect disciples and summarizing the sect's records.

Moreover, this secret place can not only solve his current predicament.
It is more likely a treasure trove that has not yet been set foot in by others!
Shen Changchuan was really reluctant to give up like this.

Reflecting on the experience of searching within the ruins of the Xiangshan Sect's main gate over the past few days,
Shen Changchuan's face showed even greater resentment.

Before coming in,
Shen Changchuan's goal was very clear: to find the legendary secret realm within the Xiangshan Sect that could enhance comprehension, and then use it to acquire the means to fuse with the power of space.

However, he knew nothing about the Xiangshan Sect's mountain gate and could only hope to find relevant clues within the Xiangshan Sect's mountain gate.

then,

In these first few days,

He devoted all his time and energy to searching for the Xiangshan Sect ruins.

During this process,

He also gained considerable benefits from the storage bags carried by the corpses of Xiangshan Sect disciples who died on the ground, as well as from the legacies left in some caves and palaces.

For example, he found more than a dozen high-grade spirit stones.

In addition, there are mid-grade spirit stones, magic artifacts, spirit artifacts that have lost their spirituality, materials, pills, and so on.

He did make a small fortune. But in the end, his gains were pretty much nothing special.

Firstly, the location of the Xiangshan Sect's mountain gate ruins and the tokens for entry and exit were both given by Shen Chong.

This indicates that the other party has been to this place before, and most likely more than once.

Most of the most precious and valuable items inside have already been taken away by them.

That is indeed the case.
During this period,

Shen Changchuan had also visited this place, which resembled the Pill Hall, of the Xiangshan Sect.

The investigation revealed that the core formation had been destroyed and opened, and the core collection inside was now empty.

And this also means that,

What was left was basically scraps that Shen Chong didn't want.

At that time,
Shen Changchuan also had other concerns in his heart.

To know,
Before coming in,
Rumors were circulating that ruins had been discovered in the desert.
As a result, this previously unnoticed border town has become a gathering place for many cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

Shen Changchuan couldn't guarantee it.

Those people couldn't find a way in.

Under the influence of thought,

Shen Changchuan then abandoned his plan to continue plundering the surrounding area for wealth.
He then turned his attention to the remaining jade slips, especially those records that documented some basic information about the Xiangshan Sect.

Hopefully, they can find the location of that legendary secret realm that can enhance one's comprehension.

just,

Shen Changchuan hasn't found that enlightenment realm yet.
However, records about this blessed land of Lei Yan Mountain were found in ancient books first.

This also directly drew his attention away from the blessed land that could enhance his understanding.

This Thunder Flame Mountain,

Although it is just a mountain,

But in fact,

It can be described as a vast natural treasure, or a blessed land exposed to the elements.

According to records,
This mountain was moved back from the North Sea by a Xuan Dan Realm True Person of the Xiangshan Sect two thousand years ago, after a great deal of effort.

And its function is also very powerful.

That is, the entire Thunderflame Mountain will continuously absorb the spiritual energy and Dao essence between heaven and earth, and after being transformed by the mountain, it will become a special kind of Thunderflame spiritual energy that can be absorbed by the human body.

If a cultivator were to cultivate within it,
When the spiritual energy of thunder and flames seeps into the skin and flesh of the body, it can quickly enhance the physical strength of the cultivator and even accelerate the cultivation of body-refining techniques!
Yes,

It simply means accelerating the cultivation speed of the body-refining method!

at this point,
This made Shen Changchuan especially envious.

"The reason why the progress of the body refining method is so slow on the progress bar panel is mainly because the progress of the body refining method is related to the physique."

"With my cultivation experience accumulated from two thousand spells, I can understand first and second-tier body refining methods with just a glance. If they were like spells, I could probably master them in less than a day."

"But precisely because progress is linked to physical enhancement, physical improvement is extremely slow. So much so that even though my understanding of the technique is no less than perfect, the progress displayed on the progress bar panel can only slowly climb."

"But if it's the other way around, and my body refinement cultivation improves rapidly, does that also mean that the progress of the body refinement method on my progress bar panel can quickly reach perfection?!"

Upon learning about Lei Yan Mountain and its functions,
Shen Changchuan's eyes lit up at that moment!
