Chapter 781: Lightning Area, Qian Mengchen’s Speculation
....Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan exchanged glances.
Jiang Chengxuan then said, “We plan to continue. Fairy Mengchen, what about you? Do you wish to exit here?”
At this point, Jiang Chengxuan was aware that in the Immortal Peak cave abode, one could choose to exit midway after successfully passing a trial. Of course.
Of course, this was under the condition that the next trial had not officially started yet.
Currently, since they had not yet navigated their island toward the so-called central island, the second trial could not be considered to have officially commenced.
Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s question, Qian Mengchen immediately said with certainty,
“We also choose to continue, hoping that we can assist each other just like before.”
“Good.”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were not surprised by Qian Mengchen’s decision.
Shen Ruyan then said, “Since you’ve chosen to continue, Miss Mengchen, let’s start moving our island forward.
After all, staying in the same place won’t help us find any useful information right?” ’
“Indeed, let’s do as Fairy Shen suggests,” Qian Mengchen said with a smile, nodding her head.
Soon, Jiang Chengxuan and the others, following the instructions from the message, began to channel their Dharmic power into the island beneath their feet.
BOOM!
Instantly, the entire island trembled slightly.
The next moment, they could clearly feel their island beginning to move in a certain direction.
“What’s most important now is to determine our direction,” Jiang Chengxuan spoke again.
“Only by identifying the correct direction can we avoid wasting too much time in what’s to come.”
Then, I wonder if Fellow Daoist Jiang has any way to determine the exact direction?” asked a square-faced middle-aged man standing next to Qian Mengchen.
Hearing his question, Jiang Chengxuan shook his head.
There’s no method for the time being. However, since we are instructed to head towards the central island, there will surely be corresponding hints or clues along the way.”
Rumble!
Suddenly, the island they were on vibrated intensely.
Immediately after, dense bolts of lightning began to appear above their heads.
“And this is?”
The pupils of Qian Mengchen and the others involuntarily narrowed.
The square-faced middle-aged man said, “Have we entered a lightning zone?” Crack-
Right after his words, streaks of red and white lightning began to strike towards them.
Instantly, every person present swiftly deployed their defensive treasures. Fortunately, the power of the lightningwasn’t too overwhelming.
For the time being, it posed no substantial threat to them.
However, as time went on, Jiang Chengxuan and the others gradually realized something was wrong.
They began to notice that the power of the lightning falling from the sky was rapidly increasing.
Continuing at this rate, it wouldn’t be long before some of them would be unable to withstand it.
They needed to find a way to leave this area quickly.
Jiang Chengxuan turned his head to look at Shen Ruyan, who understood her husband’s intent.
After a brief thought, she took out a silver-white stone from her possession.
As soon as the silver-white stone was revealed, the lightning that had been furiously bombarding them seemed to be drawn to it, converging towards the stone in Shen Ruyan’s hand.
Is that a Lightning Attraction Stone?” Qian Mengchen’s eyes flashed with surprise.
She knew that a Lightning Attraction Stone was a treasure capable of drawing in lightning.
No matter how much lightning there was, it would be attracted to the stone. Therefore, this stone also served as an unusual means of diverting heavenly tribulations, especially useful during thunder-based heavenly tribulations faced by cultivators.
Of course.
The stone’s ability to attract lightning was not limitless.
Once the density and intensity of the lightning surpassed the stone’s threshold it would shatter.
However, the quality of the Lightning Attraction Stone Shen Ruyan had taken out seemed very high, unlikely to face any problems in the short term.
Squeak squeak—
At this moment.
The Lightning Attraction Stone in Shen Ruyan’s hand turned red and white, with countless sparks jumping on it, emitting a somewhat intimidating aura.
Clearly, the intensity of the lightning now exceeded the normal scope of the Dharma Form stage.
If Qian Mengchen and the others didn’t possess any special treasures, they would likely struggle to resist.
Fortunately, as Jiang Chengxuan and the others continued to defend against the lightning, they hadn’t forgotten to navigate their island to shift direction.
As they gradually shifted the direction of their island, the number of lightning bolts appearing in their field of vision noticeably decreased, signaling that they were moving away from the lightning-filled region.
A moment later.
The lightning attracted to the Lightning Attraction Stone had completely vanished.
“It seems we have completely left that area,” Qian Mengchen sighed in relief.
She suddenly looked at everyone present and said,
Do you think this calm and stable state we’re now in could be the correct direction towards the central island?”
“Hm? What do you mean?”
“Exactly. Whenever we encounter various difficulties or obstacles, it could be indicating that we’re heading in the wrong direction,” Qian Mengchen nodded affirmatively.
“Only when our island is in this current state of calm and smooth progress,
could it be the correct path towards the central island.”
Qian Mengchen’s speculation was bold but also plausible.
After all, their divine senses couldn’t penetrate beyond ten miles around them, and the message they received didn’t provide any specific hints, not even a map.
Thus, to determine if they were heading in the correct direction, Qian
Mengchen’s guess seemed quite likely.
“Regardless, let’s proceed with this line of thought for now.
After all, we don’t have a better method to confirm whether we’re going in the right direction,”
Shen Ruyan nodded slightly towards Qian Mengchen, showing her agreement with the speculation.
Jiang Chengxuan and the others present temporarily had no objections.
Just like that.
Jiang Chengxuan and the others continued forward.
About three hours later, they suddenly felt the temperature on their island drop sharply.
The ground of the entire island began to spontaneously form a thick layer of ice.
