Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1204 - 528: Power in Hand
Previously on Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill...
The thunder patterns embroidered on the cuffs of this Daoist robe were vivid and lifelike, as if they might turn into lightning at any moment.
Li Yunjing sensed it briefly and immediately felt that his combat power in both offense and defense had increased greatly.
In the past, when Li Yunjing still lacked the confidence to kill those colossal Golden Core Realm Ninth Heaven Elders of great Sects, it was no longer so now; within the Golden Core Realm, aside from those at the Half-Step Nascent Soul Realm Level, he was confident he could take down anyone!
Ming Lingchuan once again produced two tokens and rewarded them to Li Yunjing.
"These are the ’White Tiger Order’ and the ’Black Tortoise Order’. The bearer may mobilize the Sect’s two great armies!"
Ming Lingchuan’s expression grew solemn as he reminded him, "Li Yunjing, from this day forth, your responsibility is even greater! No matter what you do, you must remember that Shenxiao Dao Sect still has a million Disciples waiting for you to look after them!"
"This Disciple understands!"
Li Yunjing nodded heavily, his heart and mind surging.
Li Yunjing placed the two tokens in his palm. The "White Tiger Order" was pure snow-white, the relief of a white tiger upon it vivid and lifelike, its eyes flashing with a soul-seizing chill; the "Black Tortoise Order" was a mysterious dark black, the entwined turtle and serpent of the black tortoise pattern flowing with a mysterious radiance.
Ming Lingchuan waved his hand, and two beams of light shot out from the tokens, condensing in midair into densely packed diagrams of military organization.
"The ’White Tiger Order’ can mobilize the ’White Tiger Army’. This army has thirty thousand elites, all Foundation Establishment Cultivators up to early Golden Core cultivators, adept at lightning assaults and frontal strong attacks."
Ming Lingchuan pointed at the army in the diagram clad in silver Battle Armor and wielding Thunder Patterned Spears, pride filling his gaze. "Within the army are thirty-six ’White Tiger Squads’, each with a hundred men, commanded by Golden Core experts. They can carry out high-difficulty missions independently, and in great wars they can form the incomparably mighty ’White Tiger Killing Array’."
"The Black Tortoise Order commands the ’Black Tortoise Army’, totaling twenty-five thousand men, renowned for defense and Arrays."
He then indicated the organization chart corresponding to the "Black Tortoise Order" for Li Yunjing to see. "The soldiers of this army all bear the power of the black tortoise, able to instantly condense an indestructible ’Black Tortoise Shield Array’. Even a full-force strike from a Nascent Soul expert would find it hard to break through."
"Within the army are seventy-two mobile fortresses, each set with ancient defensive Arrays inside, able to change formations at will and trap enemies within the Array."
Ming Lingchuan personally introduced the situation of the two great armies, and after listening, Li Yunjing was incomparably shocked.
He had seen members of the "Black Tortoise Army" and the "White Tiger Army" before, but this was the first time he learned that these two Guardian Armies harbored so many secrets.
Fifty-five thousand elite cultivators—such a force was enough to sweep away everything.
"Please rest assured, Sect Leader. This Disciple will certainly make good use of these two mighty armies, to guard the Sect and defend the Human Race!"
Li Yunjing gripped the tokens tightly, feeling the immense power and responsibility contained within them, and spoke solemnly.
"Yunjing, these two armies will henceforth be your solid backing in stabilizing the Sect and responding to crises."
Ming Lingchuan rose in satisfaction, eyes full of expectation. "Come, I’ll take you to have a look at the Forbidden Land."
"Yes!"
Li Yunjing was startled yet again, then overjoyed.
In over twenty years since entering the Sect, he had never once been to the Forbidden Land!
This made him extremely curious!
In the southwest of the Shenxiao Mountain Range, amidst thousands of towering peaks, a mountain valley in the shape of Eight Diagrams stood out particularly abruptly.
On its outer perimeter, layers of Arrays had been laid down. If Ming Lingchuan hadn’t brought him here, Li Yunjing would never have known that the Sect’s mysterious Forbidden Land was actually here!
The instant he stepped into the valley, lightning surged everywhere; even the air was laced with shining arcs of electricity, "crackling" sounds echoing all around.
This sensation of being invaded by electric arcs felt extremely comfortable.
Li Yunjing even felt a bit intoxicated!
Seeing how Li Yunjing was enjoying himself, Ming Lingchuan secretly clicked his tongue. This brat’s Top Grade Thunder Spirit Root seemed a bit different?
It should be known that within Shenxiao Dao Sect, there had been others born with a Top Grade Thunder Spirit Root.
These geniuses had also come to the "Thunder Tribulation Valley" before, but when faced with an air so saturated with Thunder Power, they still had to respond cautiously, slowly guiding and dissolving it.
No one had ever immersed themselves in it as completely as Li Yunjing.
At this moment, Li Yunjing did not notice Ming Lingchuan’s complicated gaze. He was looking around instead; the entire valley was pitch-black, as though it had been bombarded by lightning for countless years.
Tempered by thunder and fire, the bare stones within the valley had become incomparably hard.
Aside from those bare rocks, what filled this place were the Thunder Power drifting in the air and streaks of electric arcs.
"This is the Sect’s ’Thunder Tribulation Valley’!"
Ming Lingchuan pointed at the scene before them and introduced it to Li Yunjing: "This is a mysterious valley capable of drawing down Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, and it has existed since the founding of Shenxiao Dao Sect!"
"For the Disciples of Shenxiao Dao Sect, this special environment is simply a Sacred Land!"
"Thus, within Thunder Tribulation Valley, successive generations of Nascent Soul Realm, Divinity Transformation Realm, and even higher Realm sages have inscribed densely packed Arrays and Restrictions, allowing for an even more effective channeling of Celestial Thunder Power."
"And the rocks that were originally hard as iron, after endless bombardment by thunder, gradually formed this ’Celestial Thunder Stone’ valley."
"Baptized by the heavens, the ’Celestial Thunder Stones’ here are of extremely high grade, ranked as Tier Four or even Tier Five. The stones are incomparably hard; even the full-force strike of a Divinity Transformation Realm expert may not be able to level them!"
"Beneath Thunder Tribulation Valley, there is a pool constructed from Fifth Grade ’Celestial Thunder Stones’. That is our Sect’s most important ’Thunder Pool’!"
