Chapter 588: Chapter 588: The Wild Spiritual Power in the Winds

Lu Chen’s heart raced with urgency, yet he knew he had to restrain his actions from haste.

The alliance of leading sects from the Eastern Domain to trap and kill the outstanding disciples of the other four domains, clearly showed the degree of danger in this forbidden land.

"Haste does not bring success."

Lu Chen steadied his mind, which had been his greatest gain over more than three years on the Immortal Path.

As he steadily moved forward, he used the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique once again, taking in the surrounding environment with his mind’s eye.

"These mounds... they look so peculiar."

Lu Chen observed carefully, initially thinking that the shaking of the mounds was caused by the ground.

However, when he actually walked on the ground, he found it to be incredibly calm.

Then where did this shaking force come from?

Facing the unknown, Lu Chen became even more cautious, deciding to avoid these mounds as much as possible when moving forward.

Not to mention anything else, what if there were beasts slumbering within these mounds?

If a beast could survive in such severe stratospheric winds, it was imaginable how strong it would be.

Once Lu Chen had made up his mind, he shifted his focus to the fissures in the ground.

From inside, there came intermittent howls that faintly carried a mournful tone.

"Are there also beasts?"

Lu Chen’s eyebrows knitted together.

He wanted to approach one of the ground fissures and take a good look using the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique.

But reason told him that he also shouldn’t get close to the fissures.

"Better get out of this place first."

He looked up at the brilliant lights above his head before returning his gaze straight ahead.

This wasteland was not easy to traverse.

A ground fissure followed by a mound.

To avoid them, Lu Chen had to constantly zigzag back and forth.

Most crucially, he had to use his Spiritual Power to resist the powerful winds, and not only was he unable to speed up, even if he could, he would not dare.

He tightly gripped the Heavenly Inquiry Spear in his hand and proceeded methodically.

Nevertheless, he wasn’t idle.

Having understood the lay of the land, the next step was to see if he could blend into these stratospheric winds, as he had done in the icy grounds.

If so, he could increase his pace.

Lu Chen consciously controlled his body, cautiously circulating the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method.

Soon, a strand of wildly chaotic Spiritual Power entered his body, rushing toward his Dantian!

Lu Chen immediately stopped the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method and distributed a portion of his attention to allow the strand of Spiritual Power to enter his Dantian smoothly.

"Eh?"

To prevent accidents, Lu Chen had already converted all of his Ice Spiritual Power into Five Elements Spiritual Power.

Now that the strand of Spiritual Power had entered his body, he used his own Spiritual Power to completely envelop it!

Instantly, he discovered the wonder in it!

The strand of Spiritual Power, just like the lights in the sky, not only slowed down but also continuously changed colors!

However, the changing of colors was very fast.

In a single breath’s time, it had already changed several times!

"Aside from the Five Elements, there is the ice-blue Ice Spiritual Power... but I don’t recognize the other colors."

Lu Chen frowned slightly, unable to imagine what kind of Spiritual Power properties would correspond to the light blue, pure white, black, or even purple colors.

"Could it be... there’s too little Spiritual Power? How about, I absorb a bit more?"

Once he confirmed that the strand of Spiritual Power was very calm, Lu Chen decided to absorb some more.

He opened his mind and circulated the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method again.

This time, he absorbed an amount of Spiritual Power equal to ten times that of the previous strand!

"Hum—"

With more Spiritual Power, its effect on Lu Chen also increased significantly.

Lu Chen felt as if the stratospheric winds were drilling into his body, and an inexplicable buzzing sound emerged in his mind!

He quickly stabilized his stance, and instead of moving forward, he chose to sit cross-legged right where he was!

"Phew..."

He exhaled deeply, a flicker of dread passing through his expression.

Looking at the eleven strands of Spiritual Power jumping erratically in his Dantian and gradually merging, Lu Chen was filled with lingering fear!

He had thought that ten more strands wouldn’t matter much.

But just now, they had almost destroyed his Dantian!

If it weren’t for Lu Chen’s fast reaction and his ability to circulate the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique within his body, slowing down the rampaging spirits, those ten strands of Spiritual Power would have pierced through his body long ago!

"What is the force that drives these Spiritual Powers?"

Watching the eleven strands of Spiritual Power merge into a thicker strand and becoming as quiet as before, Lu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, staring transfixed at the constantly changing lights.

The light changed without any discernible pattern.

Lu Chen became more and more entranced as he watched.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Chen suddenly jolted and came upon an extremely mystical realization!

Why, once these strands of Spiritual Power were enveloped by his Five Elements Spiritual Power, did they become...

So quiet?
