Starting from the prison, an infinite simulation

The sky was filled with thunderclouds, like a black hand covering the earth, with the sound of thunder mixed with the patter of rain.

Jiang Yueming stood on the shore, letting the rain soak him to the bone, his gaze fixed on the lightning above.

Because there, a bead the size of a baseball was dancing amidst thunder and lightning, its form flashing between the clouds.

This bead is the Wind and Thunder Bead.

If Jiang Yueming can take it down, he will be one step closer to his goal of escaping the illusion.

"Although the Thunder-Protecting Spirit Tablet can block lightning in the simulation, its specific function is still unknown. Could there be any unforeseen changes?"

Jiang Yueming took out a silver spirit tablet from his waist and muttered to himself with his eyes lowered.

This time, if he rushes into the sky to grab the Wind and Thunder Pearl, he is very likely to be struck by lightning. If he is struck, will he be able to withstand it?

Jiang Yueming didn't know.

This situation did not occur in the simulation, but just because it did not occur does not mean it will not happen.

For safety reasons, he did not act rashly and rush to capture the Wind and Thunder Pearl upon seeing it.

After all, he only had one life, and in the simulation, he saw that Kirishima was fraught with danger, and he could never know what kind of danger he would face next.

"Let's try using the spirit tablet first."

Jiang Yueming's mind raced, and she quickly came up with a solution.

He stepped out with his feet, and a surge of powerful golden spiritual energy erupted from his body, transmitting a force to the spiritual tablet in his palm.

The spirit tablet seemed to be drawn up by something in the dark, floated up, paused briefly in the void, and then shot out at high speed towards the thundercloud.

This ability to control objects with spiritual energy can only be fully mastered by those who have completely advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm.

In other words, Jiang Yueming has now entered the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, and the uncontrollable power in his body has been completely digested.

Of course, at this moment, he was more concerned with whether the spirit tablet in front of him could really withstand the lightning strike than with improving his cultivation level.

If possible, then I can confidently leap into the thunderclouds and retrieve the Wind and Thunder Pearl.

If not, he must find a way to ward off lightning before the heavy rain ends, otherwise the lightning pearl will inevitably dissipate once the rain stops.

Click!

The silver token rose into the air, when suddenly a bolt of lightning flashed with purple light and struck down upon it.

Jiang Yueming narrowed his eyes slightly, focusing intently on the memorial tablet.

Whether he can finally obtain the Wind and Thunder Pearl depends on the outcome of this lightning strike.

hum!

The purple lightning arc struck the center of the Thunder God Tablet. In that instant, a thin halo appeared on the surface of the silver tablet, and the halo, like a black hole, immediately dissolved all the incoming lightning strike.

The innate, fierce purple lightning vanished in an instant.

"It worked! It really does!"

Seeing this, a smile gradually appeared on Jiang Yueming's face.

But his excitement didn't last long; instead, his eyes showed some doubt and surprise.

Because after the silver token absorbed the lightning strike, it suddenly exploded and turned into tiny fragments that scattered in the wind and rain.

The shattering of the memorial tablet was undoubtedly telling Jiang Yueming something.

The Thunder-Protecting Spirit Tablet can indeed block lightning strikes, but only once!

In other words, Jiang Yueming only had one chance to enter the lightning clouds and grab the Wind and Thunder Pearl.

He suddenly looked down at the last Thunder Control Spirit Token in his hand, and his expression immediately became serious.

He always felt that something was wrong with this illusion. When he was released from prison and encountered lightning, he used the lightning-controlling token to block it, and the token did not disappear. However, the lightning in this fog island caused the token to dissipate.

Why does it feel like they're trying to erase some trace of existence?

"Only after leaving the prison can one see the misty island," Jiang Yueming said, lowering his eyes to savor the words.

"Alright, let's get the Wind and Thunder Pearl first and then think about it more carefully."

Jiang Yueming gripped the Thunder Control Spirit Tablet tightly in his palm, his gaze fixed on the Wind and Thunder Pearl that weaved through the thunderclouds, and he refocused his mind.

The next moment, he leaped into the air with the force of his feet, and at the same time, he circulated golden spiritual energy to cover his entire body, transforming it into pieces of golden armor.

Although he didn't know if the golden armor could withstand the thunderous attack, having it was better than not having it.

boom!!

Just as Jiang Yueming leaped several hundred meters into the air, a bolt of purple lightning ripped through the sky and struck him head-on.

As the lightning arc rapidly magnified in his pupils, Jiang Yueming gripped the spirit tablet in his hand, steeled his resolve, and twisted his body, narrowly avoiding the lightning arc in the blink of an eye.

"call!"

Having dodged the lightning strike, his face was pale and his breathing became slightly rapid.

His clothes on his left arm had been burned through a large hole, and some of the skin around the hole was beginning to turn charred black.

Clearly, the lightning strike still caused him considerable damage.

However, his actions were not entirely fruitless; at least it proved that his golden armor could defend against lightning tribulations.

But like memorial tablets, they are limited in time, and that's enough.

Jiang Yueming had secretly memorized the effective time that the golden armor could withstand lightning strikes. As long as he grasped the details, it would be equivalent to having another lightning-resistant spirit tablet!

"Alright, we can't delay any longer."

Jiang Yueming took a deep breath, and with a thought, rushed straight towards the Wind and Thunder Pearl. The pearl was like a naughty child, dodging and weaving back and forth among the thunderclouds.

Every time the bead entered or exited the clouds, it would cause a bolt of purple lightning to strike Jiang Yueming. After several such incidents, his clothes were torn to shreds by the lightning.

"Damn it!" Jiang Yueming stared fiercely at the Wind and Thunder Pearl in the distance, and said angrily.

He felt that his golden armor was nearing its limit, and if he couldn't hold onto the Wind and Thunder Pearl soon, he would have no choice but to give up.

"Wait! If the water and fire elements are attracted to the light magic horn, then wouldn't that...?"

"Water and fire source!"

Thinking this, he stretched out his left palm and summoned a ball of red and blue light. The strange light seemed to have some kind of attraction to the Wind and Thunder Pearl in the distance.

The Wind and Thunder Pearl was slowly moving towards the source of water and fire!

"Ha, just as I expected."

Seeing that the usually mischievous Feng Lei Zhu had obediently complied, Jiang Yueming felt a little relieved.

If he were to chase after the Wind and Thunder Pearl through the lightning clouds again, he would really be unable to keep up. Moreover, the Wind and Thunder Pearl seemed to have some kind of boost in the clouds, making its dodging speed astonishing.

This is completely different from the scenario in the simulation!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have wasted so much time here and even ruined a piece of clothing for nothing.

"Excellent, come here, Wind and Thunder Pearl!"

Jiang Yueming saw that the Wind and Thunder Pearl was only a few feet away from the Water and Fire Source in his palm, and couldn't help but urge it on.

Swish!

Just as the Wind and Thunder Pearl was about to touch the Water and Fire Source, an unexpected event occurred in the next second. A bolt of purple lightning suddenly descended from the sky and struck the Water and Fire Source directly.

Once the water and fire sources fail, that will be the best opportunity for the Wind and Thunder Pearl to escape!

"snort"

Jiang Yueming sensed a streak of purple lightning, let out a cold snort, and then threw the Thunder Control Token that she had been tightly holding in her right hand toward the purple lightning. The Thunder Control Token shone brightly, absorbing all the killing power of the purple lightning and forcefully blocking the swift lightning bolt.

Jiang Yueming also took this opportunity to completely seize the Wind and Thunder Pearl!

Wow!

In the void, a Thunder-Controlling Spirit Tablet once again turned to ashes and vanished with the rain, and Jiang Yueming's body landed back on the shore.

He opened his palm to look at the Wind and Thunder Pearl, which was tightly bound by the water and fire elements, and said with a faint smile, "Little brat, let's see if you can run away this time."

The silver lightning orb clinging to the red and blue flames remained motionless, seemingly struggling to break free from the pull of the water and fire sources.

Jiang Yueming glanced at the two treasures and put them into his soul sea. Before the existence of a spirit ring with storage space, a spirit cultivator's soul sea can also temporarily serve as a spirit ring.

"Now all that's left is the Light Demon Horn. Then I can finally escape this illusion. Eastern Great Rift Valley, here I come!"

Jiang Yueming moved again, braving the drizzling rain as she ran towards the east of the misty island…
