Master of Heaven and Earth - Chapter 125 - Departure!
The power of thunder and lightning is known as the most lethal force in the world!
If Leng Yan could fully harness this celestial power, there was no doubt that his strength would undergo a qualitative leap.
Leng Yan had already consulted Elder Xuan Yi, and he learned that if he used the sacrificial power, he would definitely have the strength to fight against a void profundity cultivator!
However, encountering a void calamity cultivator would be a different story. After reaching the heaven peering realm, the strength variations among void profundity, void calamity, and void tribulation are not as drastically different as the changes seen in the great tribulation of wind and fire, heaven and earth dharma form, or defying the heavens and changing fate.
But the change in strength after reaching the heaven peering realm lies in the mastery of space! After achieving the heaven peering realm, each advancement allows for more adept usage of space power. The enhancement of this spatial manipulation ability also brings immeasurable changes in strength!
Mastering space opens up endless possibilities!
After his sparring session with Elder Xuan Yi, Leng Yan personally witnessed him using space power to nullify his full strike, making it clear just how terrifying space power can be.
Leng Yan thoroughly understood that in order to bring Yunyao back, the greatest obstacle would undoubtedly be the elders of the Lansi tribe, who were at or above the heaven peering realm!
He needed to demonstrate his strength to persuade them to allow him to take Yunyao!
Since he was unable to use space power himself, the only thing he could do was to increase his own strength and break free from the shackles of space power with absolute might!
Thus, the power of thunder and lightning became crucial! This lethal force, when powerful enough, could influence space itself! Moreover, the speed of lightning is incredibly fast, comparable to the speed at which someone in the heaven peering realm can teleport using space power.
Therefore, mastering the power of thunder and lightning is urgent!
First, he needed to be able to control lightning freely. After all, the lightning had forcibly entered Leng Yan’s body, knocking him unconscious for ten days. He had only just awakened and had not yet truly utilized the power of thunder and lightning.
The power of thunder and lightning is indeed difficult to control; its lethality is immense, and a moment of carelessness can result in self-harm. After two days of diligent practice, Leng Yan finally managed to control the power of thunder and lightning with ease. Of course, he was covered in injuries from his earlier attempts.
However, he didn’t care at all for his injuries. Without a moment’s pause, he threw himself into the next phase of training.
Merging the six powers!
Integrating these six powers with the sword of heaven and earth!
If the five elements could assist the sword of heaven and earth in allowing Xuan Yi to recover his strength to fend off threats, then the might of these six powers would surely be terrifying!
With determination, Leng Yan immediately began attempting to combine these two techniques.
However, the process was incredibly lengthy. He even tapped into the strength of the immortal land, but he avoided drawing attention from his fellow senior brothers. After fifteen days, he was finally able to use both techniques normally.
The power he wielded was indeed remarkable, and due to his continuous efforts, the training ground he had once found in the mountains had transformed into an endless plain!
Once he completed everything, Leng Yan returned to Amethyst Peak, shared a pot of tea with Xuelan, and then dove back into his cultivation.
Dongfang Caiyun appeared in the courtyard.
Xuelan watched Leng Yan’s departing figure and said, “I really envy Yunyao; she has someone who is willing to fight for her.” Her eyes were filled with admiration.
Dongfang Caiyun remained silent, sighed softly, and left Amethyst Peak.
…
Fifteen days passed in the blink of an eye.
“Ugh, still not working! I can almost touch the gateway to the realm of defying the heavens and changing fate, yet I can’t seem to progress,” Leng Yan lamented, speaking to himself.
“There’s no other choice! Yunyao, I’m coming for you!” Leng Yan shook his head, his gaze resolute.
With a thought, he took out the immortal land and formed a hand seal with his right hand. A mysterious power manifested within the realm of the immortal land, and the six junior brothers who had been cultivating there were brought forth.
“Hmm, not bad. Two are in mid-stage heaven and earth dharma form, and four are in early-stage. They haven’t let me down!” Leng Yan nodded in satisfaction.
“Have you all mastered the formations I taught you?” he scanned his junior brothers and asked.
“Senior brother, we have lived up to our mission,” they replied hurriedly, still coming out of their daze from being suddenly transported.
“Good. Rest for two days; your time to shine is coming!” Leng Yan nodded approvingly and said earnestly to his junior brothers.
“Yes!”
“Fat Guy, come here,” Leng Yan used a magical technique to send a sound transmission to Fat Guy.
Fat Guy was in the midst of his cultivation when he heard the call and hurried over to Amethyst Peak.
“You called for me?” Fat Guy approached Leng Yan, asking respectfully.
“Sit down first; I have something to discuss with you,” Leng Yan nodded and gestured for him to take a seat.
“You’ve been with me for a few years now. You consider me an older brother, and I’ve always thought of you as my brother too. Now, I’ve decided to force my way into the Lansi tribe to bring Yunyao back. I don’t know what challenges I’ll face this time, but I’m certain there will be difficulties,” Leng Yan said, looking Fat Guy in the eyes with a serious expression.
Leng Yan sighed deeply before calmly continuing, “I know you’re impulsive and value loyalty, but if I encounter any misfortune and don’t return, don’t think about avenging me.”
After a moment’s pause, Leng Yan added, “In the hidden compartment of my training room, there’s a storage ring containing one hundred and fifty primordial spirit elixirs and some treasures. When the time comes, take it and leave this place. I have many enemies, and I’m afraid they might harm you!”
Fat Guy looked at Leng Yan, speechless, lost in his thoughts.
“Alright, you can get back to your training. I’ll be setting off in two days,” Leng Yan waved his hand, signaling for Fat Guy to leave.
Fat Guy still didn’t say anything, clasped his hands together in a salute, and withdrew.
At some point, Xuelan stood behind Leng Yan.
He didn’t turn around; he could sense her presence. Leng Yan spoke, “You too, there’s no need for you to come with me…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Xuelan interjected, “Don’t even think about it! I told you I would stick with you! Let me tell you, Leng Yan, if we live, we live together; if we die, we die together!”
“I still have the slave seal you placed on me, so don’t think you can shake me off!” Xuelan insisted, reminding him once more.
“Is that so?” Leng Yan’s thoughts stirred, and he forcefully dispelled the slave seal. It was a mark he had placed himself, so breaking it was effortless for him.
“Now, can you still find me?” Leng Yan teased, a smile in his eyes as he looked at Xuelan.
Xuelan smiled alluringly, leaving Leng Yan momentarily stunned. Her enchanting appearance was indeed as captivating as the rumors suggested.
“This innate charm I possess gives me a unique ability; I can establish a connection with the person I like and sense their whereabouts,” Xuelan said with a mischievous grin.
“There’s no way you can shake me off.”
Leng Yan remained speechless and ultimately decided to let Xuelan accompany him.
However, it meant he would have to protect one more person, which was quite bothersome, he thought to himself.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Leng Yan didn’t disclose this mission to anyone else; those who needed to know were already aware, and those who didn’t could remain in the dark.
With four carefully selected junior brothers and Xuelan by his side, Leng Yan set off.
The Lansi tribe resided on another planet in the immortal’s abode realm, far away from the Longmu Star where Leng Yan was. This planet was called Lansi Star. The very name of the planet indicated the immense power of the Lansi tribe!
Because the journey involved crossing planets and was quite lengthy, there were only two options: one could take a stellar cruiser, which would take about ten months to reach Lansi Star; or, alternatively, one could seek help from someone at the heaven peering realm or above to utilize space power, enabling instant teleportation.
However, teleporting using space power would create considerable commotion. If Xuan Yi used space power to teleport Leng Yan and his group to Lansi Star, the Lansi tribe would surely become aware of it!
If Leng Yan failed, the wrath of the Lansi tribe would inevitably fall upon the Five Elements Sect, and Xuan Yi would become an eternal sinner of the sect!
With this concern in mind, he decided against seeking Xuan Yi’s assistance.
The only option left was to take the stellar cruiser, which was currently the only viable route.
Stellar cruisers were primarily controlled by a few major trading alliances, and the Red Leaf Alliance was one of them.
With the Honorary Elder’s token in hand, Leng Yan and his team received first-class treatment, smoothly entering the VIP area of the stellar cruiser without spending any primordial spirit elixirs. This delighted Leng Yan; as they were about to embark on a major battle, it was wise to conserve elixirs to quickly replenish spiritual energy when needed.
The stellar cruiser was vast and equipped with all sorts of amenities, including shops, auction houses, and even a martial arts arena to resolve disputes. Fighting was strictly prohibited aboard the cruiser!
Once on board, Leng Yan isolated himself in his room to cultivate, and time always seemed to fly by during his practice.
Before they knew it, they had arrived at Lansi Star.
