cracking--
A sharp cry echoed through the sky, piercing through metal and splitting stone, possessing a terrifying penetrating power that filled people with unease. Amidst the howling wind, a dark cloud appeared in the sky, casting a large shadow on the ground.
It was a ferocious bird, as large as a small mountain, its body covered with dense blue scales that shimmered with a metallic luster, exuding overwhelming ferocity and terrifying aura.
Do you know him?
On the ground, Feng Bingwen, riding on the back of the five-colored deer, lowered his head and asked, "This is an extremely rare ferocious bird. It has no feathers on its body, its scales are cold and menacing, and its head is covered with sharp bone spurs. It looks ferocious and menacing, and does not seem like a benevolent creature."
"I don't know him!"
Hua Chaoyan quickly shook her head. Strictly speaking, this was her first time leaving home. Previously, she had grown up carefree under the protection of her parents and elders in the clan.
"..."
Feng Bingwen remained silent. He actually wanted to ask whether this ferocious bird came from outside and was a vassal race that had surrendered to the human race, or whether it was a native creature of this secret realm. But seeing the little deer looking so confused, it was not even as good as him. Asking was pointless.
While Feng Bingwen remained silent, the ferocious bird circling in the sky seemed to have finally made a decision. With a flap of its iron wings, which gleamed with a chilling light, it streaked across the sky like a shooting star and then disappeared into the distance.
It ran away!
Upon seeing this, Feng Bingwen became even more silent. He had just been hesitating about whether to catch the bird. Although the bird looked good, it was too fierce and didn't match his status and temperament.
Before he could make a decision, the ferocious bird darted away. Feng Bingwen was certain that the large bird had sensed his presence.
Sword Comes
"Keep moving forward!"
Seeing that the ferocious bird had taken the initiative to avoid him, Feng Bingwen did not want to cause trouble and rode the deer through the vast mountains.
He discovered that this was an incredibly vast secret realm. Although the Yin Chi Ghost King had told him that this secret realm was composed of the remnants left after the Nine Heavens and Ten Blessed Lands were shattered, it was still unbelievably vast.
After leaving the two prodigies who were locked in a fierce battle, he rode his deer in one direction for three hours, but still couldn't escape the continuous mountain range.
During this process, Feng Bingwen sensed a number of auras similar to those of the Azure-Scaled Ferocious Bird. These beings, which Feng Bingwen perceived as threatening, all chose to give way upon sensing his aura. It was unknown how many of them were human vassals who had come from the outside world.
The instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm is inherent in living beings. Without sufficient incentive, even the fiercest creature will not risk injury or death to fight if it is not mentally sound.
roar!
Feng Bingwen frowned and slapped a small white-backed, black-bellied beast that suddenly darted out from the rocks and tried to attack him, knocking it to the ground. Then he watched as the unexpectedly sturdy beast rolled up from the ground, bared its teeth at him, and let out a threatening growl.
"Walk!"
Looking at the beast that seemed strangely familiar, yet was several times larger than he remembered, Feng Bingwen was too lazy to get entangled with it. Even the ferocious birds with wingspans of tens of feet chose to flee when they sensed his presence, but this guy dared to charge at him.
"It's so fierce!"
Hua Chaoyan obediently used her escape technique, traversing between majestic mountains and rivers.
Although she had only been in the secret realm for a few hours, less than a day, she sensed a chilling aura that made her want to run away.
However, as soon as she entered, she encountered an extremely powerful human. Although she was forced to acknowledge him as her master, she was very glad she made that choice.
Fortunately, I found such a master; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to live so easily now, flying wherever I want. In this perilous secret realm, it feels just like home.
However, if Feng Bingwen knew what the five-colored deer he was riding was thinking, he would probably laugh out loud.
Is it fraught with danger?
Where did the crisis come from?
A few creatures that he thought were decent would avoid him when they saw him from afar.
Boom—
At that moment, lightning suddenly flashed, followed by a thunderclap that echoed from afar. The overwhelming power of heaven permeated the air, and although it was faint, the pressure that instilled fear in people inspired awe.
"Go there!"
Seeing the sudden appearance of lightning in the distance, stretching from the sky to the earth, Feng Bingwen's eyes lit up. He sensed the aura of creation and urged the little deer to go there.
Having a clear understanding of its own position and determined to cling to the human race's coattails, the Five-Colored Deer naturally dared not be negligent in the slightest. It activated its Five Elements Escape Technique, viewing all things as nothing, and directly transformed into a beam of light, traveling straight through them.
As Feng Bingwen approached, the lightning flashing between heaven and earth became increasingly dense. For a moment, even the shield light of the five-colored deer slowed down. It was indeed an auspicious omen, but that did not mean that the lightning would not strike it.
"Master, is someone undergoing tribulation? Should we wait a while before going over?"
"No one is undergoing tribulation!"
Feng Bingwen rolled his eyes. A cultivator's first tribulation occurs when they form their core. Those who enter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are all young human prodigies, and the difference in their cultivation levels is not significant. His Transcendent Realm cultivation is considered quite high here, while most are still only at the Spirit Gathering Realm.
"A lineage has been established there!"
The five elements flowed in his eyes, and even thunder could not block Feng Bingwen's gaze. He saw endless thunder descending from the sky like waterfalls, turning into a sea of thunder amidst flashes of lightning and roars.
Within that sea of thunder, a magnificent architectural complex emerged, complete with pavilions, towers, palaces, and temples, its exquisite carvings showcasing the work of nature's artistry.
This vast complex, resembling the residence of the Heavenly Emperor, was submerged in a sea of lightning. Beneath a towering Heavenly Gate, a staircase formed by interwoven lightning descended, and within it, a figure as small as an ant struggled forward, enduring the bombardment of lightning.
Undoubtedly, this is a place of creation left behind by the ancient sages of the human race. As for what this creation is related to, just look at the vast sea of lightning, and it will be self-evident.
"I'll take the master there right away!"
Hua Chaoyan was a very sensible little deer. Although she was afraid of the vast power of the heavens, she did not want to delay Feng Bingwen's opportunity. She gritted her teeth and traversed through the lightning, but she no longer dared to travel in a straight line like before.
"Alright, let's stop here!"
Feng Bingwen didn't let the Five-Colored Deer take him to that place in front of the Heavenly Palace; that would be too much of a burden for the little deer.
As they approached, the little deer saw the figure climbing the Heavenly Thunder Staircase and also noticed several other figures with extremely powerful auras standing around the Heavenly Palace, making no attempt to conceal their presence.
After Feng Bingwen arrived, several scrutinizing gazes fell on him for a moment before withdrawing. Then, within a short quarter of an hour, several more figures arrived at the same spot, ignoring the lightning striking from the sky.
The aura surrounding the opening of this inheritance is too magnificent. Any human prodigy who senses its presence will rush here. No one would be willing to give up an inheritance related to lightning magic, as it is recognized as the number one offensive technique among all spells.
"Can anyone tell me whose prodigy is climbing the Heavenly Ladder?"
As more and more people, both human and non-human, entered the dojo, someone finally couldn't hold back and spoke up. It was a young girl dressed in a black dress, with snow-white skin and a beautiful face, exuding an amazing charm with every move she made.
“The chief of Hidden Thunder Palace, Cui Mingye.”
Seemingly attracted by the girl's charm, someone spoke up in response.
"Hidden Thunder Palace? Could this be a legacy left behind by their ancestors?"
"Ha, if it really was left by their ancestor, why would Cui Mingye need to climb the Heavenly Ladder and suffer that ordeal?"
Some people sneered. Although the heavenly power here was overwhelming and the vastness contained in the sea of thunder made them tremble with fear, they were all elites in their respective sects. Naturally, they were able to suppress their fear and carefully observe the situation.
The figure climbing the Heavenly Ladder clearly also possessed thunder magic, but he walked with great difficulty, paying a bloody price for every step, making his journey extremely miserable.
It is precisely because of that tragic scene that, although there are more and more onlookers now, no one else has climbed the ladder to see the situation first before taking action.
"This is the place where the ancient sages passed on their teachings. It contains the True Method of Controlling the Five Extremes Divine Thunder. Although it is not as famous as the Purple Cloud Thunder Method, it is also a righteous method that points directly to the Great Dao."
Looking at those still observing, someone transformed into a streak of light and landed before the ascent of the Heavenly Ladder, seemingly as a reminder, or perhaps as a provocation.
"This celestial palace doesn't appear every time. Even when it does, there are only three people who can receive the thunder magic inheritance at most each time. You can just continue to observe from there!"
After speaking, the young man stepped onto the heavenly ladder, and lightning immediately struck down from the sky. No matter what methods he used, it was all in vain.
Upon hearing his words, those who had been observing could no longer sit still and flew towards the Heavenly Palace. However, a magnificent purple divine lightning appeared in the sky, and its terrifying power forced them to obediently land and walk to the Heavenly Ladder. Only there could they safely enter the Heavenly Palace and obtain the inheritance.
Upon hearing this, Feng Bingwen's heart stirred, but he did not rush up the Heavenly Ladder, because he sensed that the Heavenly Book was showing unusual activity deep within his sea of consciousness.
As the pages of the book are turned, a ball of golden flame, its color somewhat intense, is burning quietly, sustained by a rapidly diminishing amount of good deeds.
As Feng Bingwen watched, in the blink of an eye, the number of merits, which had risen to over 70,000, dropped to 60,000 and was continuing to decrease steadily.
"I didn't make a wish!"
Feng Bingwen was helpless. The Heavenly Book spontaneously combusted once again, burning away his merits without his specifying a target. However, given the current situation, Tian Shu's meaning was all too clear.
The secret message: The back door is open for you, you can go in now!
