Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

[No wonder, no wonder you are so happy, Master. ]

"It's not like I can defy the will of heaven. The use of this Heart Thunder has its own limits and my own strength."

Keqing shook her head, so three times was the maximum, and it couldn't be used frequently, otherwise it would greatly consume its essence. If she wanted to replenish her essence, she had to let it rest well and use more thunder to nourish it.

[Hehe, that's not bad. Let's give this heart thunder a name, maybe call it wisdom thunder, wisdom thunder.]

"What kind of a name is that?"

Keqing is funny.

[That's right, this thing is not just about value and understanding, it's hard to name it, since it can be stacked three times, let's call it stacking thunder. ]

I can’t even comment on Keqing’s weird name.

But there is no need to give this thunder a special name.

Little Coal Ball seemed to think that his name was very bad, even worse than his owner's, so he just smiled awkwardly.

[Forget it, let’s not name it, just call it Heart Thunder. ]

……

After obtaining the Heart Thunder, things did not change much. Apart from its usefulness in combat, Keqing did not use it immediately in other aspects.

Because she knew that some of them would be used at critical moments.

She has no shortage of skills to enhance her understanding, nor does she have any techniques that require comprehension.

Improve your concentration and be focused on whatever you do. There is no need to strengthen it to the point of neglecting sleep and food.

Other aspects are also dispensable, such as cultivation. Is it cultivation that she lacks?

No, what she lacks is not cultivation, but divine thunder.

If an ordinary person obtained this heart thunder, he would probably use it immediately, as he always felt it would be a waste if he didn't use it.

However, this is exactly where we get into trouble.

There is no need to create demand. It should be used when it is needed, and there is no need to force it when it is not needed.

However, it was precisely Keqing's mentality that avoided the so-called tragedy.

Because she didn't know that it was because of his greed that the person who took back the Heart Thunder was eventually drained to death by the Heart Thunder, and no one could subdue the Heart Thunder at that time. She just knew that if she needed to strengthen something, she would have to pay a certain price.

Over time, as time went by, some achievements were indeed made because of the heart thunder, but what came with it was that the soul was damaged, life span was shortened, and even the understanding became weak.

At that time, the ancestor of Qicheng also found his own method of refining weapons through the thunder in his heart, and he completely banned it and never used it again.

I always feel that this is a kind of bad thunder, which feeds on human souls and lifespans.

Little do you know that everything has a price!

[So from the beginning to the end, they only knew that this was a kind of divine thunder that could be used to strengthen their comprehension training? ]

"Well, the less you know, the less you fear."

Of course, the more you know, the more fearless you will be. Driven by desire, humans can be extremely crazy.

The flying boat moved forward, passing through many cities. Occasionally, Keqing would stop to take a look at an interesting city. Among these cities, there were poorly developed cities that looked shabby, and there were also well-developed cities with people coming and going.

As we moved forward, the deserted state gradually changed from a barren land of yellow sand to one full of vitality.

"It seems that it's just that the city of Li is covered with yellow sand, but the surrounding area looks normal."

Apart from the fact that many green plants are ordinary trees and the spiritual energy is relatively scarce, it is no different from a normal continent.

[Well, after all, Licheng is located at the edge, right at the edge of the desert, so it's no wonder.]

Keqing nodded, then took out the map, and after referring to it for a while, she headed in one direction.

After a while, we arrived at the designated place.

"Is this the place? Zangtian Lake."

Looking at it from a distance, the lake seems boundless.

The reason why it is said to be boundless is that half of the lake is above the water, while the other half is covered by thick fog.

Even the spiritual sense cannot detect it, because the fog has the effect of resisting the spiritual sense. The deeper the spiritual sense goes, the more difficult it is for it to penetrate. It can only stop at a maximum of a hundred meters and cannot detect it at all.

[That should be the case. Look, it's almost the same as what's marked on the map.]

[The boundless lake is blocked by clouds and mist that even the divine sense cannot penetrate. There is also a small wooden house beside it. ]

You see, they all make sense.

"Well, then let's go in and take a look."

I don’t know if there is any danger in Zangtian Lake.

"Hey, you guys, you can't enter..."

But at this moment, someone stopped them.

Keqing looked back and saw several guys dressed exactly the same, resembling soldiers.

Keqing thought he was the kind of person who was robbing or looking for trouble, and he exuded a little bit of majesty.

These soldiers are all in the Foundation Establishment Stage, so they should know what to do. She doesn't want to cause any trouble.

However, I didn't expect those guys to be so stubborn after experiencing such pressure.

"Wait a minute, senior. We have no ill intentions."

After hearing them say this, Keqing realized that there was a misunderstanding and immediately withdrew her pressure.

"What's the matter with you?"

he asked.

"It's like this, our city lord wants to meet Senior Keqing."

"See me? Your city lord knows me?"

Keqing was a little surprised that these people knew her name. She shouldn't be that famous!

"We don't know about this, but the city lord said that she saw a person dressed in white, with two buns that looked like cat ears, and who looked pure and clean. That was the person she was looking for."

"We saw that you fit the criteria, so we made some guesses and called you immediately. We apologize for disturbing you."

Seeing that these people had their heads lowered to their waists, Keqing touched her hair bun.

That's right.

They all said that this is how normal double buns are styled, and cat ears are normal, so why should she emphasize cat ears so much, even though she also likes cats.

Keqing paused, but didn't think much about it.

"I won't go. I can wait for your city lord. If your city lord has something urgent, he can come. If not, I'm sorry that I have something else to do and can't delay you too much."

The main reason why Keqing didn't want to go was that she was worried that it was an ambush or something, and it would be troublesome if she fell into it.

The view here at Zangtian Lake is wide, and you can see basically everything clearly, so it is easy to run.

Moreover, there is Zangtian Lake next to it. The fog inside can block the spiritual consciousness. If it really doesn’t work, you can hide in it. It can be said to be a very safe place.

So Keqing made it clear that it was okay to wait here, but there was no need to go there intentionally.

There's no need to go just because of an invitation from a stranger. She's not the kind of person who would respond to anyone's invitation.

"This……"

The three of them also looked at each other.

"Then wait a moment, senior. We will be back soon."

As he spoke, someone went to inform their city lord.

At this time, Keqing took out the prepared table and chairs and sat down, then took out the shrimp balls she had prepared and started eating.

Mmm~ delicious.

Wonderful and refreshing.

She also wanted to know why the city lord knew her and why he wanted to find her for something, and whether it was related to the divine thunder.

But there is a high probability that it will happen. After all, I came to Cangtian Lake to find the divine thunder, and there are rumors of divine thunder in Cangtian Lake. If they could send people to wait for me here, I would guess that it is related to the divine thunder.

Thinking of this, I became more patient.

It seemed that they were in a hurry, and soon someone came rushing to do it.

"Sorry, sorry, you must be Lord Li, I was busy with something just now, so I was delayed for a while."

Keqing looked in the direction where the voice came from and saw a middle-aged woman with a weathered look. Her face looked a little sad, but more of it was a look of determination. She looked quite refreshing and seemed like a normal city lord.

Don't blame her for using the word "normal" to describe it. It's really because she met too many abnormal city lords along the way, forcing her to take action sometimes. Sometimes she took action too much, for example, it would be ruined by just a little bit, which was a sin.

"You are? How did you know I was coming?"

"Ah, I'm the mayor of Xu City. Don't get me wrong. I knew you were coming because someone notified me, and I just happened to need your help with something, so I sent someone to wait for you."

"Notify you, who?"

I met a lot of people along the way and stopped in many cities. I really don’t know who notified me.

"Lord Li, do you still remember the time when you passed by a city called Huacheng? You discovered the Nascent Soul evil cultivator, found his lair, and saved many children from disaster?"

"Oh~ that evil cultivator."

On the way to Huacheng, they did encounter an evil Nascent Soul cultivator who attacked a couple with a child. He was a high-level Nascent Soul cultivator, so Keqing attacked him directly and killed him.

Later I found out that the couple was the mayor and his wife of Huacheng, as well as their son.

It turned out that there was a group of evil cultivators who wanted to occupy Huacheng and refine Huacheng. In short, they were a group of cultivators with unclear minds who had gone crazy in their pursuit of immortality.

Keqing naturally doesn't care about this group of crazy people

He would hold back and directly trace back to their lair, then kill them one by one in a few moves. At that time, he had killed almost one Nascent Soul peak, three Nascent Soul middle stages, and five Nascent Soul early stages.

To be honest, it took some effort, because the evil cultivator was so difficult to deal with. If it weren't for her extraordinary perception of mountains and rivers, she would not have been able to find him.

"So are you related to Huacheng?"

"In fact, the wife of the City Lord of Huacheng is my good sister. When she saw how powerful you are, she suddenly thought of some of my past events, so she contacted me. You might come to Cangtian Lake, so I sent someone to wait for City Lord Li."

Keqing thought about it and realized that the city lord's wife did seem to have asked her where she was going, so Keqing just said it casually. So this was the reason.

"That's it..."

Now I understand, so that’s how it is.

"Then what do you want from me..."

"Well, I want to ask you a favor."

Before Keqing could refuse, she suddenly handed her something.

"This is your reward, please."

Keqing thought it was some treasure or something, but when she took it, she saw that it was a strange stone with strange patterns on it and glowing green.

"This is……"

"Well, don't mind me. I've heard some rumors about you. I heard that you practiced the Divine Thunder Atlas."

"Well, there's nothing bad to say."

"I know you came to Cangtian Lake to look for divine thunder, but if I may be frank, there is no divine thunder in Cangtian Lake at all."

"Oh? Are you so sure?"

Zangtian Lake has appeared for who knows how many years, how could she know it didn't exist.

"I am absolutely sure, because I am a person who can sense spirits. There is a spirit in Cangtian Lake, and the spirit told me that there is no divine thunder in Cangtian Lake."

"A spiritual person, what is that?"

Keqing was not asking this question to the woman, but to the little coal ball.

[Master, all things have spirits. Some places have spirituality due to coincidences, and have become similar to mountain gods.]

[Of course, this kind of spirit is different from the mountain god and Manruo. This kind of existence is like a kind of existence similar to the earthbound spirit. Why is it born, why does it die, and why is it trapped?]

[People who can sense spirits are those who can sense these invisible and intangible beings and communicate with them. How should I put it? It's probably because their spiritual perception is very strong. This kind of people's perception of spiritual power and rules is also slightly stronger, but not much stronger than those special spirits.]

[It's a special, but useless talent.]
