Chapter 1196 – Thunder Marsh

The reason why Yang Junshan chose to head to the lightning marsh was naturally not as simple as he explained it to the Madame Yang clansmen.

After all, as the place where the two lightning tribulation cultivators, Daoist Ziyuan and Taoist Eastflow, could undergo their tribulation, the power of split lightning that the Western Mountain Madame Yang’s Five Elements Lightning Light Great Formation had once displayed caused the existences of almost all of Circulatory World to be moved beyond belief.

Of course, the most important thing was that no one had expected that Yang Junshan would actually be able to charge into Lightning Calamity in such a short period of time.

At the same time, Yang Junshan did not want others to know that he was facing a tribulation lightning test. If he was going to be in any other place in the cultivation world, once he summoned his thunder tribulation, the gathering sound of his tribulation clouds would be extremely loud.

There was alsumor amongst the cultivation realm’s Great Divine Cultivator s, saying that it was a cultivator with Lightning Calamity above, and perhaps he did not know how many above the Heavenly Tribulation Realm and below the Heavenly Immortal Realm were hidden in this world. However, he definitely knew that the reason why many above the Lightning Calamity appeared after him was because of this principle.

However, regardless of how powerful the lightning tribulation was, it was able to avoid the perception of the cultivation world’s Great Divine Cultivator in the first moment. The time it took to undergo the tribulation was neither long nor short, but if no one noticed it while the lightning tribulation was brewing, then even if there was confusion later on, it would be too late by then.

If Yang Junshan’s expectations were not wrong, the reason why Sang Wuji did not suffer the persecution of the Taoist Blue Sunflower s when he entered the Lightning Calamity realm ought to be because he took the risk to summon thunder tribulation in the lightning swamp.

To Yang Junshan, aside from the aforementioned reasons, he also had other goals in mind.

Laizhou was to the south and west of the Sangzhou. It was situated right next to the three provinces of the lake, Sang, and Yan.

The ground of the Laizhou was barren, the surface of the earth was rich in stones and contained metal objects. The location of the place was delicate, the water vapor that came from the Huzhou and the ocean were also swept up by the western Yanzhou’s fire waves.

Although the size of the Laizhou was not inferior to that of any other large prefectures, the population of the Eight Regions was the least. Upon entering the Laizhou, their first impression was that the vast land was sparsely populated, and their environment was even worse than the Xi Zhou’s.

The Laizhou was divided intotal of six counties, which were called Mist, Rainfall, Earthquake, Xiao, Xia, and Hail Counties. However, in the middle of the Laizhou, there was a place that caused the expressions of all the cultivators in the Circulatory World to turn strange, and that was the lightning swamp.

If it was said that there were more than one thunderstorm in all of Laizhou, then the entire lightning swamp was a world of thunder and lightning.

Yang Junshan quietly escaped from the Western Mountain, avoiding all of the spies around the Yang family. Under no one’s expectation, he had already traveled south through the Sangzhou, and entered the borders of the Laizhou.

However, after entering the borders of the Laizhou, Yang Junshan still hid his body carefully and continued to head south.

At the same time, Yang Junshan had witnessed the frequency of thunderstorms in the Laizhou, and every single day, there would be at least one or two of them. Furthermore, in every single thunderstorm, there would be a bolt of lightning that struck down from the sky, striking a certain spot on the ground.

Every time the lightning flashed, it might not be accompanied by a strong wind. It was usually just thunder on a dry day, but even so, the lightning would still strike the ground.

Furthermore, there were many rumours in the Laizhou that thunderbolts would often cause rare treasures to appear.

Although Yang Junshan did not believe it, it was hard for him to be curious about it. Since he had entered the Laizhou, he had encountered several lightning strikes along the way, and when he followed them, he discovered that the content of the metal objects in the rocks on the ground were indeed higher than that of his surroundings.

After repeating it over and over again, Yang Junshan’s original bit of interest had been completely worn out. After being struck by lightning again, he no longer had the interest to search for clues.

Furthermore, there were also many rare treasures that appeared in the places where lightning fell, but the possibility of this happening was simply too low. Yang Junshan had been in the Laizhou for a few days, trying to find the location of the lightning fall no less than a few times, but after digging foundred meters deep in the ground, he had only dug up a Seven-Spot Stone. It could be considered a low level spirit material, but it was enough to be used to refine artifacts.

In the cultivation world, in the eight great provinces, other than Liang Zhond Laizhou s, the other six regions’ unique and forbidden lands were mostly within the Secret realm space s. If one wanted to enter, they had to wait for it to open or appear for a period of time.

However, the number of cultivators who actually dared to enter these two ultimate worlds were extremely few in the entire cultivation world.

In fact, ever since Yang Junshan entered the Laizhou, he had a very uncomfortable feeling this time, as if a pair of eyes was staring at him at all times.

He changed routes several times, and even used the Earth Escape Technique to travel a hundred miles underground. However, he was still unable to get rid of this feeling, until Yang Junshan had no choice but to directly leave the Laizhou, but this feeling of being watched suddenly disappeared.

In the next few days, Yang Junshan lingered around the borders between Sangzhou and himself and finally understood that the feeling of being stared at was not because someone was spying on him, but because he was given a special feeling by the Laizhou. And the source of this special feeling should be the thunderstorm that was brewing in the air above the Laizhou all of a sudden.

Thus, no matter whether it was the thunder clouds brewing in the sky or Yang Junshan’s own senses of true essence, they all had an innate ability to attract one another, and the feeling of Yang Junshan being watched, was precisely due to this kind of instinctual perception of danger. This feeling was a feeling that came from this kind of instinctual feeling, where one was able to sense that one was looking for danger.

Yang Junshan, who had come to this conclusion, once again entered the Laizhou. Furthermore, as he went deeper into the Laizhou, the feeling of being watched became more and more obvious, to the point where it directly turned into a burst of palpitations, as if a great calamity was about to descend upon his head at any time.

When Yang Junshan raised his head to look, he saw rolling dark clouds above him. Although this was an astronomical phenomenon that was common seen in Laizhou, with Yang Junshan’s Dianthus and sharp senses, even though the thunderclouds in the sky were constantly changing shape, he was still able to confirm that he had been “watched”.

In fact, there were not many people who could follow him without being noticed in the current cultivation world. What “stared” Yang Junshan was the tribulation cloud which had gradually turned from a thundercloud intribulation cloud, although Yang Junshan was already trying his best to restrain his Qi, if one were to say that before he had entered the Laizhou, he could indefinitely extend the time for his tribulation, then he would have no choice but to send out arrows right now.

This meant that even if Yang Junshan left the Laizhou immediately, he would not be able to escape the tribulation clouds that had already gathered above him. Even if he were to conserve even a trace of his own aura, it would also mean that the tribulation clouds in the sky would slowly accumulate until it reached its saturation and would fall naturally. At that time, Yang Junshan would not even want to go through the tribulation.

Before entering the Laizhou, whether or not he would be able to summon the lightning tribulation would be in his hands. Once he entered the Laizhou, it would usually mean that the countdown for the lightning tribulation had already started, and the initiative would no longer be in his hands.

However, out of the seven counties of the Yuzhou, the Yuxian in the middle was the most prosperous place in the entire continent, while the Laizhou was the complete opposite. The lightning swamp was a dangerous place, and not to mention ordinary people, 99% of the cultivators would not dare to step foot in there.

Yang Junshan entered the Xia Country at the northern part of the Laizhou from the Sangzhou. This place could be considered the border region of the number one sect in the Laizhou, but after a few days of travelling south, he saw an endless expanse of desert and desert desert, where under the shining of the sun just a moment ago, dark clouds gathered together from the surroundings. Thunder rumbled as countless bolts of lightning danced about, and from time to time, thick rays of light would meandering and explode on the ground.

This was the thunder swamp. It was just that this thunder had seen it for itself, so he didn’t know what ‘swamp’ meant.

As this thought flashed through his mind, Yang Junshan decisively stepped into this legendary dangerous lightning swamp. After walking for several tens of kilometers, the palpitation that was brought about by the tribulation cloud had actually disappeared, and what followed after was a “thump thump” sound between his eyebrows, as though a large needle was viciously stabbing into his flesh.

Yang Junshan raised his eyes to look, only to see that he had sensed that the heavenly tribulation cloud was growing faster, and that the surrounding thunder clouds were being attracted by the heavenly tribulation clouds, were slowly gathering towards his head, but after nearing the heavenly tribulation clouds, they were being engulfed by the heavenly tribulation clouds, causing the thunderclouds in the sky to look as if they were surging, but the speed at which the heavenly tribulation clouds were growing was not fast.

Yang Junshan was a little pressured in his heart, and after sweeping a glance at his surroundings, he could not help but increase his speed, and walked towards the depths of the lightning swamp.

Half a day later, the Tribulation Clouds in the sky above gathered likuge canopy. If this wasn’t a lightning swamp, thunder clouds would gather in the sky from time to time, and thunder and lightning would even gather frequently, covering the aura of the tribulation clouds in the sky.

Yang Junshan thought that he had already gone deep into the depths of the lightning lake, and was looking for a suitable place to quietly wait for the arrival of the thunder tribulation. However, he could sense a faint reflection of light in his eyes, and when he looked far away, he could see the twinkling white light of a lake, and in the depths of the lightning swamp, a lake appeared.
