Chapter 1294: Peak of the Cloud Sea, Thunder Crystal Hall

Within the Flashing Thunder Clan, one cannot exchange for Thunder Crystals at any time. The Thunder Crystal Halls located on the thirteen Cultivation Planets only open for three days each year; if one wants to exchange for Thunder Crystals, it can only be done during these three days.

During these three days, the vast majority of Cultivators on the entire Cultivation Planet will rush over to exchange for Thunder Crystals from the Elders of the Flashing Thunder Clan responsible for the Thunder Crystal Hall.

Similarly, one can also use Thunder Crystals to purchase certain Magic Treasures and Cultivation Techniques of the Flashing Thunder Clan.

However, within the Flashing Thunder Clan, Thunder Crystals cannot be traded privately. Thunder Crystals cannot be transferred; they can only be traded with the Thunder Crystal Hall. Even so, the Flashing Thunder Clan has many members, so naturally, there are ways to conduct private transactions without using Thunder Crystals as the medium, simply by producing items of equivalent value for exchanging Thunder Crystals to replace them.

It is just that this method carries risks, so only Old Monsters with profound cultivation dare to trade privately.

This measure, where Thunder Crystals cannot be transferred or traded privately, is very inconvenient for members of the Flashing Thunder Clan, but it has continued for countless years without any changes.

Accompanied by Zhong Dahong, Wang Lin transformed into two long rainbows, speeding through the sky, flying towards where the Thunder Crystal Hall was located.

The Thunder Crystal Hall stood in the center of this Cultivation Planet, atop a mountain Peak. This mountain Peak towered into the clouds and was the highest point on this Cultivation Planet. Surrounding it was a ring-shaped basin, shrouded in green mist all year round. No Flashing Thunder clansman could easily step into it. Once one entered the green mist, they would immediately be injured by the lightning within; the light cases would be severely injured and ejected, while the heavy cases would even have their bodies collapse and die.

This place is a Forbidden Land!

Only during those three days when it opens does the green mist dissipate slightly, revealing a passage that allows Flashing Thunder clansmen to enter.

The Heavenly Thunder Sect was somewhat far from the Thunder Crystal Hall. In reality, the location of the Heavenly Thunder Sect was merely a remote edge of this Cultivation Planet, much like the State of Zhao on the Vermilion Bird Star back then.

It was not valued at all, and no one would go to check on it. Even if some powerhouse emerged there, unless they stirred up a heaven-shaking change, it would still be insignificant to this vast Cultivation Planet.

For example, Yu Fei had never walked more than one hundred thousand li in his life. Although people within those one hundred thousand li knew him, once he stepped out, no one recognized him.

Even this Zhong Dahong was the same.

Precisely because he knew this, Wang Lin did not care too much about the concerns regarding his cultivation changes being too great. With Wang Lin not displaying any Divine Abilities, he and Zhong Dahong flew for more than half a month before arriving at the central region of this Cultivation Planet.

During the flight, Zhong Dahong exerted all his strength, constantly flattering with his "invincible" techniques. If it were just that, it wouldn't show Zhong Dahong's methods. He not only flattered with his mouth but also put it into action, laboring before and after. Often, with just one look from Wang Lin, he could immediately guess the general intent and act first.

Throughout this journey, Zhong Dahong could be said to have served Wang Lin extremely thoroughly.

This was a point where Xu Ligou was inferior, and even Wang Lin could not help but give Zhong Dahong a few more Medicinal Pills and point out some flaws in his cultivation.

As a result, Zhong Dahong was even more invigorated. Without waiting for Wang Lin's orders, whenever he encountered someone on the way whom he deemed lootable, he would immediately go over ferociously, bringing back a large amount of items for exchanging Thunder Crystals, and offering them to Wang Lin without keeping a single bit.

"Master, further ahead is the range of the Thunder Crystal Hall. We cannot continue to rob here. Within the range of the Thunder Crystal Hall, during these three days, fighting is strictly prohibited; this is also for protection. The route we took before was not a straight line, but one that detoured several times, thus avoiding some Cultivators with great Divine Abilities. Little one knows Master's cultivation is heaven-reaching, but this Thunder Crystal Hall is only open for three days; we can deal with unnecessary small troubles when we return." In these few days, Zhong Dahong had already seamlessly transitioned his address for Wang Lin from Senior to Master.

These two terms are different, and their meanings are worlds apart. In Zhong Dahong's opinion, the term "Senior" was somewhat distant. If it were changed to "Master" like Xu Ligou, it would mean they were family.

Wang Lin did not refuse this and allowed Zhong Dahong to change the form of address.

Upon entering the range of the Thunder Crystal Hall, the number of Cultivators gradually increased. long rainbows shuttled through the sky, one after another flying past. Zhong Dahong's expression was extremely vigilant. Although fighting was strictly prohibited here, he was still somewhat nervous when facing these Cultivators with great Divine Abilities.

There were even some Cultivators who came in groups, with over a dozen of them together, transforming into more than a dozen long rainbows, sweeping across extremely arrogantly, causing others to immediately dodge.

"The Cultivators of this Flashing Thunder Clan are much higher in cultivation than those in the Inner Realm… Soul Transformation Cultivators can be seen everywhere here, and there are quite a few Nascent Soul Transformation ones as well…" As Wang Lin moved forward, he withdrew his gaze from the few long rainbows that whizzed past in front.

Just at this moment, a burst of extremely powerful aura suddenly whistled from behind Wang Lin and Zhong Dahong. That aura was like a wave, turning into a rumbling sound, and even filled with lightning.

The surrounding flying Cultivators all had their expressions change slightly, looking over in unison, revealing respect.

It was a middle-aged man in black, wearing a Daoist crown, walking over with his hands behind his back, passing directly by Wang Lin's side, bringing with him layers of fierce wind.

"A Soul Transformation Old Monster!!"

"It is the Black Magic King of Wuyi Mountain. It is rumored that this person's cultivation has already reached the Peak of the Early Stage of Soul Transformation, and he can step into the Middle Stage at any time!"

"It is said that this Old Monster rarely leaves Wuyi Mountain. Coming to the Thunder Crystal Hall this time, there must be a big deal!"

"That goes without saying. This Black Magic King is ranked 766th on the flashing thunder ranking. After exchanging for Thunder Crystals this time, he might be able to advance a few places."

The surrounding Cultivators clasped their fists respectfully one after another. After the middle-aged man left, they immediately began to discuss.

"Master, this person is the Black Magic King of Wuyi Mountain. There are four great Dharma Kings in Wuyi Mountain, all of whom are Soul Transformation Old Monsters." Zhong Dahong immediately explained in a low voice beside Wang Lin.

Although Wang Lin had searched Zhong Dahong's memory, he only looked at some important matters. Memories regarding Soul Transformation Cultivators like this were just glanced over and not examined in detail.

He cast his gaze on the Black Magic King who was walking away, nodded slightly, and did not speak.

In the distance, the Black Magic King had long been accustomed to the discussions behind him and ignored them as he moved forward. But suddenly, when Wang Lin's gaze swept over him, his heart skipped a beat, and his whole body felt as if it were naked in an instant, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, this feeling dissipated in an instant. The Black Magic King did not dare to look back and hurriedly increased his speed to rush away.

Accompanied by Zhong Dahong, Wang Lin's expression remained as usual as he got closer and closer to the Thunder Crystal Hall ahead. He had already seen the green mist that filled the heavens and earth. There was a Rift in the mist, as if it had been forcibly split open by someone, forming a long, narrow passage about ten zhang wide.

Outside the green mist stood two cold-looking red-robed Cultivators. These two looked to be about forty years old, but in reality, they were Old Monsters who had lived for thousands of years, and their cultivation had exceeded the first step of cultivation, reaching the Yin Void Realm!

Their gazes were icy, sweeping over the incoming Cultivators. Any Cultivator upon whom their gazes fell would tremble, their expressions revealing terror and respect.

Even that Black Magic King, in front of these two red-robed Cultivators, became respectful, just like a Mortal encountering an Immortal Cultivator.

Without needing Zhong Dahong's introduction, Wang Lin knew that these two were responsible for guarding the Rift passage. Within the passage between the two of them, numerous Cultivators were currently transforming into long rainbows and entering, flying inward.

The number of Cultivators around was numerous, numbering over a thousand, but there was no chaos, nor any clamor or noise. Instead, they entered the Rift passage one after another in silence.

Before long, Wang Lin's expression stirred, and he casually glanced at the horizon in the distance. A moment later, clouds and mist rolled in from the horizon. At a glance, there was even thunder rumbling within the clouds and mist, emitting endless lightning and thunder, as if it connected heaven and earth.

The rolling thunderclouds arrived in an instant with a rumbling sound, immediately causing the minds of the many Cultivators outside the Rift to tremble. Even the two red-robed Cultivators standing by the Rift had expressions of solemnity.

A loud laugh came from the void, and the thundercloud suddenly shrank, finally turning into a cloak worn by an old man who walked out from the thundercloud.

This old man had white hair, but his eyes seemed to have piercing brilliance flashing within them. Walking over with one step, it was as if he had crossed time and space, causing the world to appear distorted.

"Nirvana Scrutiny Cultivator…" Wang Lin's expression was calm, a faint, imperceptible smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Once this old man appeared, the Cultivators outside the Rift were all shocked. Some who recognized him did not even dare to discuss, but instead clasped their fists in unison and spoke respectfully.

"Greetings, Senior Zhou Tianzi…"

Even the two red-robed Cultivators outside the Rift had respectful expressions. They stepped forward and hurriedly clasped their fists, saying respectfully: "Junior greets Senior Zhou Tianzi. Senior coming to the Thunder Crystal Hall this time must be to challenge the top ten of the flashing thunder ranking."

The old man clasped his fists slightly and smiled: "I can't get into the top ten. It would be good to get into the top thirty." As he spoke, he flicked his right finger, and two Medicinal Pills immediately flew out, landing in the hands of the two red-robed Cultivators. He did not speak again and stepped into the Rift to walk forward. Everywhere he passed, all Cultivators gave way.

The two red-robed Cultivators glanced at the Medicinal Pills in their hands, immediately revealing expressions of surprise, and repeatedly clasped their fists and bowed to the old man's back.

Wang Lin glanced at the place where the old man left, showing no thoughts.

After the old man left, discussions gradually spread among the surrounding Cultivators.

"Most second-step great Divine Ability Cultivators come here on the last day. I didn't expect Senior Zhou Tianzi to come on the first day."

"Sigh, I don't know when we will be able to open our Clan Seals to the point where we can have the same cultivation as Senior Zhou Tianzi. I'm afraid there is no hope in this life."

"It is not entirely impossible. It is rumored that Senior Zhou Tianzi had a fortuitous encounter in his early years, which is why his cultivation is so high. Life is full of opportunities; perhaps one day, we will also have a fortuitous encounter."

Amidst this low discussion, Wang Lin and Zhong Dahong flew towards the Rift. The two red-robed Cultivators' gazes swept over Wang Lin, naturally unable to discover anything, and let the two of them enter. In their eyes, whether it was Wang Lin or Zhong Dahong, they were just insignificant little characters.

Following their entry into the green mist Rift, Wang Lin's eyes flickered. This was the first time he had entered an important place of the Flashing Thunder Clan since coming here! He stared at the surrounding green mist, a strange light gradually appearing in his eyes.

"This mist…"
