Chapter 860: Collecting

Translator: _Tat_  Editor: Rundi

The originally vicious fountain of thunder silenced.

A translucent blue gel slowly arose to midair, emitting soft and bright light that was not at all terrifying.

The moment he saw the item, Ling Xian’s eyes brightened and he recognized this item’s origin.

It was the legendary gel of thunder!

This item exists among the thunders and is normally formed during a God’s Trial. It is extremely rare and its effects include enhancing a living being’s physical body.

Of course, it is also extremely beneficial to practise thunder based techniques. Not only can it decrease training time, it can also lead to strengthening the techniques trained for.

To Ling Xian, however, this item’s strongest effect is to enhance the physical body. But now, he had broken through to the peak of the original level and no longer needed this item.

It wasn’t that this item is now useless to him. It was that using this now would be undervaluing and wasting this treasure.

“This item is extremely rare. It is also highly praised and known to be beautiful. I cannot believe I am so lucky.”

Looking at the translucent blue gel, Ling Xian revealed a smile. He was very happy.

Though he had no use for this gel right now, because even if he uses it, he cannot breakthrough to the fifth level, this does not mean he will not find a use for it in the future. He will definitely be able to use it later and unleash its power.

Try to imagine. If he uses this when his physique is near the fifth level, what miraculous effects will it release?

“This is why people say the best iron should be used to make a sword. I will collect this gel for now and use it another day.”

The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up as he called out to the Indestructible Physique. He slowly walked towards the gel in a gentle and slow manner. He was even careful.

He has heard the rumors about this gel. Though it looks soft and not at all harmful, it was actually very vicious. Once it senses another living being coming closer, it will commit a terrifying attack.

Reality was just like the legend.

When Ling Xian was a meter away from the gel of thunder, this blue liquid exploded with lightning bolts. The strength of it all far surpassed the lightning bolts from the fountain!

Even for someone as dominating as Ling Xian, he didn’t dare to be reckless.

“Break!”

Shouting, Ling Xian made his move. His energy, alongside the gold light, howled out and chased away the lightning bolts!

Then, he grabbed onto the blue gel and tried to use his innate energy to suppress it.

However, the gel of thunder is extraordinary. After it was attacked, it counterattacked without holding back.

HOMMM, HOMMM!

The lightning flickered and electricity swam. The seemingly soft gel of thunder exploded with a shocking amount of energy. The terrifying lightning bolts howled and everything crumbled into pieces.

However, it was no ordinary object, and Ling Xian was no ordinary human.

Especially at this moment, his physical body was as already at the peak of the original level. Its powerfulness was unimaginable!

“You are merely one drop of the gel! Suppress!”

Ling Xian’s eyes turned cold as he attacked like the God of Warrior, destroying the thunder in an instant. Then, his bloody energy exploded, instantly suppressing the gel of thunder.

No matter how much it struggled, it could not escape his seal.

Slowly, the object no longer resisted and restored its bright and gentle state.

“Very well.”

Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction and took out a jade bottle from his storage pouch to place the gel in. Then, he instantaneously formed three different arrays outside the jade bottle. It was just in case the gel starts to panic and destroy everything inside his storage pouch.

After all, this was a horrific gel of thunder. Though he had suppressed it, he cannot be too reckless.

“I broke through physically and I acquired my gel.”

Ling Xian had a soft smile on his lips, “This means my journey is completely fulfilled now. Next, it’s time to figure out how to transform my Qi.”

Then, his eyes flashed with anticipation.

He really wanted to see just how powerful he will be if both his physique and Qi reach the peak of the original level.

“Let’s ask the elder about this.”

Ling Xian faintly smiled and turned around to leave. He instantly disappeared from the bottom of the mountain.

After some time, he arrived at the tallest mountain peak in the Court of Thunder, which is also where the ruler resides.

After sensing Ling Xian’s presence, the elder dashed out from his palace and a friendly smile appeared on his face.

“Congratulations Young Master for the end of your isolation.”

Hearing this, Ling Xian lost his composure and chuckled, “I cannot believe you had the potential to act like someone’s peasant.”

“Hehe, it’s to show appreciation for everything you’ve done for me.”

The elder continued to smile nicely and asked with anticipation, “Dare I ask if you successfully broke through?”

“You’ll know if you try.” Ling Xian smiled. Then, in front of the elder’s astonished face, he slowly raised his right arm and punched out.

This punch was gentle and soft. It looked like it had no power behind it and as if it wouldn’t even hurt those from the meditational level.

The Elder however, could sense that he couldn’t dodge this punch nor could he move. This punch was hidden with rock splitting strength.

Therefore, as Ling Xian’s fist inched closer and closer, the elder was instantly petrified and sweat formed on his forehead.

Seeing this, Ling Xian shook his head and smiled. When his fist was about three inches away from the elder’s head, he stopped abruptly and didn’t smash his skull.

The elder sighed in relief, he felt like he had just escaped death.

“Don’t worry. I won’t kill you.”

Ling Xian faintly smiled. It was true that he won’t kill the elder, but this punch remained astonishing.

“Young Master, you actually broke through. The physique at the peak of the original level is far too terrifying.”

The elder felt fortunate. Remembering how suffocated he felt a while ago, his body quivered.

“Do you really have to be so scared?” Ling Xian chuckled.

“Hehe, isn’t this all because you are too strong.”

The elder suppressed the fear in his heart and complimented, “The physical body at the peak of the original level. Ignoring the fact that it happened today, after the heaven and heart have transformed, even during the pervious era, it is rare.”

Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled and accepted what the elder had to say.

It was true, such terrifying physique, out of all the rare talents in Tianzhou, it is hard to find!

After all, the path of the physique is a hard path. If he didn’t die that once and his physique didn’t explode in power, he never would’ve reached this level.

“Alright, there’s no need for such flattery.”

Ling Xian brandished his hand and erased his smile, “I need to ask you something. Have you heard about the legend that more than 1,000 years ago, there was a real phoenix that came to Tianzhou?”

“I…”

The elder frowned slightly and continued, “I have heard. Could it be that you want to investigate if the Nirvana Fountain actually exists?”

“That’s right.” Ling Xian nodded.

“Then I suggest you not to waste your time.”

The elder bitterly chuckled, “It’s been so many years and so many people have looked for it. But there hasn’t been a single word about anyone finding anything.”

“Nothing?” Ling Xian frowned.

“That’s right. When I was young, I also dreamt of being able to find the Nirvana Fountain and transform myself.”

The elder bitterly smiled and shook his head, “But the Nirvana Fountain of the Real Phoenix doesn’t exist. How can we find it?”
