Chapter 2939: Heavenly Dragon Prison and the Thunder Cloud Zone

“Never underestimate anyone in this place. They might look like nothing from the outside, but they could probably crush you. Never judge a book by its cover, you’ll understand this later on.”

“Senior, then, how do we usually cultivate? Don’t tell me that we’re going to meditate in our own respective cave?” Someone asked.

“Even if you do nothing but meditate, 10,000 years is more than enough for you. The Great Spiritual Gathering Formation of the Profound Connection Divine Palace is not something anyone could construct.

“Anyway, the main places for you to cultivate are the Heavenly Dragon Prison and the Thunder Cloud Zone. The Heavenly Dragon Prison is under the Heavenly Dragon Tower, the Thunder Cloud Zone is above the Lightning-Gathering Peak. There are no limits if you wish to cultivate in the Lightning-Gathering Peak and Heavenly Dragon Tower, and refine your Divine Origin Qi. These two places are the reason why Profound Connection Divine Palace is a place where all experts dream to go. You’re able to cultivate Heavenly Lightning and Heavenly Flame’s essence crystal a.k.a Heavenly Flame Crystal and Heavenly Lightning Crystal. To make it simple, the Heavenly Flame Crystal is the key to enter the Heavenly Dragon Prison, a currency that can be used within the Profound Connection Divine Palace. As long as you manage to cultivate and refine more crystals, then you’ll be able to enter the greatest cultivation zone.” Gu Maolu said.

Countless disciples looked at Gu Maolu with a curious look. His words were extremely important for them.

“So that’s how it is… one must pay a price to achieve greatness, don’t think that the crystals are easy to obtain, the most you’ll get is 2 or 3 pieces if you cultivate on the Lightning-Gathering Peak for one month without pause and to enter the Thunder Cloud Zone requires 10 crystals per day.”

They were shocked by Gu Maolu’s words.

“3 crystals for one month, at least 4 months for 10… and a day in the Thunder Cloud Zone. That’s harsh!”

“Yeah, Senior Brother, is there any way to quickly refine those Heavenly Flame Crystals?”

“Such a heart-wrenching news.”

A number of them shook their heads and complained.

“Hmph, in for a penny, in for a pound, you can’t even take such hardships, I wonder how you’ve managed to reach such a stage. There are no shortcuts. Remember, you’ll know what attitude an expert should have after you enter the Thunder Cloud Zone. I’ve said what’s needed. Let’s meet again ten days later under the Heavenly Dragon Tower.”

Gu Maolu turned and left, leaving Jiang Chen a telepathic message:

“I can’t wait for you to tell me how you escaped from Hun Shaoqian’s evil clutch, hahah. I’ll come visit you tonight.” Gu Maolu gave Jiang Chen a nod.

The latter had a goosebump and gave a bitter smile. This fella’s curiosity is over the top.

The remaining experts went to look for their own cave.

“Fellas, let’s meet again ten days later.”

Everyone scattered, Jiang Chen followed behind Yan Qingcheng.

“I don’t blame you.”

Jiang Chen said towards her back.

“In the future, don’t put any effort towards me, you and I, we’re strangers. Why do you pester me? I will not be so kind next time.” Yan Qingcheng left without turning back.

Jiang Chen’s heart felt like it was stabbed a million times, even though he knew that those words weren’t true. He couldn’t do anything about her spirit being controlled by someone.

In the evening, Gu Maolu appeared in Jiang Chen’s cave. He was dying in curiosity, it was a miracle that Jiang Chen managed to escape Hun Shaoqian.

“Good lad! You’ve made me worried sick, hahah, come, tell me, how did you escape him?” Gu Maolu said impatiently.

“Why are you so anxious, I’m not going anywhere. I managed to get away from him thanks to the help of a Hierarch expert, I couldn’t see what he looked like, I can’t even say my thanks. I would’ve died if it weren’t for him.” Jiang Chen said.

“Hierarch expert? Are you sure you’re not sh*tting me? Why do I feel that something’s off?.” Gu Maolu said.

“Why would I bother lying to you, it’s true and Hun Shaoqian was killed by him.” Jiang Chen said.

Gu Maolu’s expression changed and instinctively took a step back.

“You… you said he’s dead?” Gu Maolu did not expect Hun Shaoqian to be dead.

The surrounding cities would be shocked by this news. The young lord of the Soul-Leaving Sect died. A powerful and talented cultivator died, just like that, it’d be giant news.

“Is he really dead? Killed by a Hierarch expert?

“Yeah? Do you think I can kill him? You know how powerful he is. I’m not his match, I’m just lucky, extremely lucky. Haha.” Jiang Chen smiled.

Gu Maolu thought for a while. Yeah, he’s a Mid Divine King, although talented, he’s not Hun Shaoqian’s match. Hun Shaoqian’s on-par with the three dragons of the outer palace, after all. So, how could Jiang Chen deal with Hun Shaoqian? Plus, he was suppressed by Hun Shaoqian too…

“Dead, to think that he’s dead, hehe, good that he’s dead. Otherwise, you won’t be chatting with me here. Brother, next time, be wary of the people from the Soul-Leaving Sect when you go out of Profound Connection Divine Palace, they are bad.” Gu Maolu said.

He’s concerned about Jiang Chen’s safety. Looks like Jiang Chen’s pretty tough too, to even have the Soul-Leaving Sect’s Young Lord die to him, to be precise, die under the hands of a Hierarch expert.

“Senior Brother, who are those three dragons of the outer palace that you spoke of?” Jiang Chen asked.

“It’s just a nickname, there is an inner palace and outer palace in the Profound Connection Divine Palace. Brother Yu Chenglong is one of the three dragons, the top-guns of the outer palace. Only those that have reached the Half-Step Hierarch realm have the qualification to enter the Inner Palace. Actually, Yu Chenglong is even better than some of the inner palace disciples, however, he’s still not a Half-Step Hierarch. Those Half-Step Hierarchs may not last a few rounds against him too. The three dragons are super-prodigies, I’ll never catch up to them in my lifetime. Sigh. ” Gu Maolu sighed.

Prodigies like Yu Chenglong was not someone that he could ever reach.
