Chapter 314: Falling Thunder Mountain Range

The reason Xiao Ming wanted to go to the Falling Thunder Mountain Range was to allow the Sky Demon Puppet to evolve.

He had initially thought of going to the Wind Lightning Mountain Range, but then he remembered something - even though the Wind Lightning Mountain Range was covered by dark clouds all year round, it was still inferior to the Falling Thunder Mountain Range in terms of lightning power.

... This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

The Falling Thunder Mountain Range was located in the southwestern part of the Central Region. The terrain there was quite unique, perhaps because of its high altitude or other reasons, as thunder constantly shrouded the area.

Outside the Falling Thunder Mountain Range, two streaks of light flashed across the sky like shooting stars and soon turned into two figures landing on a mountain peak. They lowered their heads and looked at the ant-like crowd below.

The figures who arrived were Xiao Ming and Venerable Tian Huo.

Chi Chi!

As soon as they landed, small electric arcs appeared at their feet.

"The lightning attribute here is so rich..." Yao Tian Huo looked at the grayish-white mountain range, almost devoid of vegetation, then looked down at the electric arcs under his feet, somewhat surprised.

"The Falling Thunder Mountain Range often attracts lightning strikes. The power of these lightning strikes is not to be underestimated. If it weren't for the annual period of thunderstorms here, the headquarters of the Wind Lightning Pavilion might have been built here instead of the Wind Lightning Mountain Range."

Xiao Ming smiled and said. In fact, there were other reasons why the Wind Lightning Pavilion did not establish its headquarters here. For example, this is the territory of Sound Valley, and it was difficult for them to intervene and so on.

Yao Tian Huo nodded at his words, then his eyes suddenly looked down at the crowd and then thoughtfully towards the center of the mountain range.

"It doesn't seem as lifeless as it appears on the surface."

"Senior Yao, you have sharp eyes." Xiao Ming knew a lot about the Falling Thunder Mountain Range, as it had been mentioned in the simulator before.

"The Falling Thunder Mountain Range is very suitable for people who cultivate Dou Qi with a lightning attribute, so every year when it's not the thunderstorm season, there are endless streams of people coming to this place in the Central Plains. In addition, there is a special lightning beast in the central area, which produces a kind of lightning pill that is extremely valuable. Many mercenaries make a living by hunting them."

Rumble!

They did not land at the peak because the mid-slope area would attract enough lightning. If they were at the peak, facing the violent lightning that would be attracted, Xiao Ming would not be able to persist for long.

On the platform, Xiao Ming first let the Sky Demon Puppet fly into the dark clouds to undergo the lightning baptism, and then took out the body of Yan Luo Tian to refine a new puppet on the spot.

Two days later, the puppet was successfully refined, and Xiao Ming immediately started to refine seventh-tier pills.

Yes, Xiao Ming's way of attracting lightning was through refining pills. By creating Pill Lightnings, the thunderclouds nearby would gather, and there would be enough density of lightning for the two puppets to absorb.

"I wonder what level the two puppets will evolve to this time," Xiao Ming muttered while refining the pills.

Meanwhile, Venerable Tian Huo guarded beside him. With his presence, Xiao Ming's pill refining proceeded smoothly, and even if lightning struck him, it would be deflected by Venerable Tian Huo.

...

During the process of refining pills, Xiao Ming had become a must-kill target for some people in the Hall of Souls.

In a huge black palace, which was so big that it gave people an extremely oppressive feeling, there were many black stone pillars that were tens of meters high. The stone pillars were covered with numerous eerie runes, faintly flashing with some faint light, flickering like countless eyes, gloomy and chilling.

On these black stone pillars, there were many chains wrapped around them, connecting countless shimmering light clusters. Looking closely, inside those light clusters were souls with closed eyes!

The black chains wrapped around the necks of those souls, and faintly, it seemed that something was emanating from the souls' bodies and transmitting through the chains.

Suddenly, there was a wave of fluctuations in the space, and five figures appeared on top of the five pillars.

"Zhai Xing Tianzun, why have you come to find us?" asked a figure in a black robe.

The leader, an old man in gray-white clothes, waved his hand and shot out four pieces of paper.

The remaining four people took them and saw that they were portraits of a very handsome man with two big characters next to them - Xiao Ming.

"The information on his whereabouts is on the back, and there is a mission to bring him back to the Hall of Souls. If necessary, don't hesitate to use lethal force."
