Chapter 75: Chapter 72: Divine Thunder Strikes from Nine Heavens, Punishing the Wicked and Eradicating Evil! _2
He spent a lot of effort digging up the Thunderstruck Wood from the ground. Fortunately, the mud here was soft, and the Thunderstruck Wood had already been dislodged from the surface due to years of being struck by lightning.
He glanced at the dark clouds in the sky; it didn’t seem like any lightning was going to strike soon. He quickly ran a long distance while holding the Thunderstruck Wood and then placed it on the ground.
"If my guess is correct..."
"Then this area will begin to absorb the Electric Element from the surrounding heaven and earth."
"At that moment, I’ll recapture that feeling."
"The mythical beast vision will reappear."
Lin Beichen’s plan was good, but the actual situation was far from what he had imagined.
Soon, Lin Beichen discovered...
The Electric Element from the surrounding heaven and earth continued to flood towards the previous area, with only a small portion being intercepted and absorbed by the Thunderstruck Wood at his feet.
"What’s going on?"
"Could it be..."
"The Thunderstruck Wood isn’t the cause of that area’s special properties?"
Just as he was pondering.
Suddenly!
A flash of white light appeared before his eyes.
Immediately after.
"Crack——!!!"
With the booming sound of a tear, a thick bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking down straight.
It struck the spot where the Thunderstruck Wood had been dug up.
Although...
The Thunderstruck Wood was no longer there at that moment.
Lin Beichen: ???
He looked at the Thunderstruck Wood at his feet, then at the spot in the distance where the lightning had just struck, filled with questions.
"What is this supposed to be?"
"Coincidence?"
Lin Beichen’s confusion didn’t last long. Soon, the lightning from the sky gave him the answer, showing him that it was no coincidence.
One bolt after another struck relentlessly from the sky, just like when he was cultivating before. Every bolt, without exception, hit the spot where the Thunderstruck Wood had been previously.
"This..."
Lin Beichen was dumbfounded.
And at this moment, he noticed something that made him even more astonished——
The Thunderstruck Wood at his feet had stopped absorbing the Electric Element from the surrounding heaven and earth!
"???"
Lin Beichen couldn’t afford to study the special properties of the distant area for now; the Thunderstruck Wood was his, and it couldn’t have any problems.
He quickly picked up the Thunderstruck Wood.
As soon as his hands touched the Thunderstruck Wood.
He clearly felt the feedback from the Thunderstruck Wood: it was saturated!
"So..."
"The Thunderstruck Wood didn’t have a problem; it just couldn’t absorb anymore?"
Lin Beichen instantly understood that once the Thunderstruck Wood’s storage of Electric Element reached saturation, it would stop absorbing more.
But then, a new problem arose.
Would its other functions also change?
He wasn’t sure.
However, without hesitating, he immediately started cultivating his liver.
Soon, a session was completed.
With his attention focused on the liver, he could confirm that despite the Thunderstruck Wood being in a saturated state, its functions remained unchanged. It could still accelerate the absorption of the Electric Element from the heaven and earth, speed up the recovery of the Electric Element within the liver, and enhance the effect of Electric Element nourishing the liver.
"Not a big problem."
Lin Beichen breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did he have the mind to focus on the special area in the distance.
In the instant he looked over.
"Crack——!!"
Another bolt of lightning struck down.
The lightning reflected in Lin Beichen’s eyes, as if it had struck deep into his mind.
Enlightenment!
In that moment, Lin Beichen understood: he had been wrong before; the Thunderstruck Wood wasn’t the cause of that area’s special properties. On the contrary, it was the area’s special properties that led to the birth of the Thunderstruck Wood.
It wasn’t the tree struck into Thunderstruck Wood that was special; it was the location of the tree that was special: a place continually struck by lightning.
By chance, a tree growing there turned into Thunderstruck Wood!
"So..." 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"All the previous mythical beast visions were also due to the area’s special properties?"
Lin Beichen’s mind was clear. However, how did this area’s special properties come about?
He pondered for a moment, but couldn’t figure it out.
At that moment.
He suddenly had an idea: if he could find another area like this and compare the two, perhaps he could discover some clues to the special properties.
"Moreover..."
"If I can find another area like this, maybe I can get another piece of Thunderstruck Wood?"
Treasure like Thunderstruck Wood, no one would mind having more.
Lin Beichen was greatly tempted. Without much thought, he decided to look for another special area like this.
Lin Beichen picked up the Thunderstruck Wood from the ground. Having figured out that it was the area’s special properties causing the lightning, not the Thunderstruck Wood itself, he was no longer worried about holding the Thunderstruck Wood.
Next.
With great expectations, he sensed the direction of the Electric Element’s flow in the heaven and earth and walked away in the opposite direction; he first needed to leave this special area.
However, if he had tried once more to grasp that feeling and viewed the Qilin’s mythical beast vision before leaving... he would have noticed...
As he left the special area.
The Qilin’s mythical beast vision became extremely distorted, filled with a sense of tearing!
It seemed to be collapsing as Lin Beichen walked away.
Soon, Lin Beichen walked out of the special area, and simultaneously, he no longer sensed the Electric Element flowing towards the Qilin area; it felt just like any usual thunderstorm day.
