System: Replicating The Heavens

Chapter 232 Ch 232: Thunder Breaking Mountain



Alex calmed down and fell into deep thought. He started planning his next steps. He was now feeling immense pressure because of the Ten Blades of Hell.

But even after thinking for a while, he could not plan his next steps. He did not know how he could make use of these three years and increase his strength to the Holy Lord Stage.

Even if he could not become a Holy Lord Realm martial warrior, becoming a Celestial Phenomenon Stage would do as well. With his powerful strength, he was confident in facing the Holy Lord.

It was at this time, Elder Valerio suddenly took out a spatial ring and threw it at Alex. Alex caught it and looked inside the spatial ring, only to be shocked greatly. It is because there were countless treasures inside the spatial ring.

The next moment, Elder Valerio started waving his hand in a circular motion while chanting some sort of mantra, causing the space in front of Alex to waver heavily, releasing continuous fluctuation of spatial energy.

And very soon, a huge black vortex appeared in front of Alex.

Elder Valerio said: "This is the entrance to a secluded place where you could cultivate and train with a peaceful mind. Go inside and cultivate there. I will reopen the entrance after three years. Let's see how much you can improve in this period of three years."

After he said that, he waved his hand, causing an extremely strong force of attraction to erupt out of the vortex, forcefully pulling Alex inside even before he could say anything.

And when he was swallowed by the huge vortex, the vortex disappeared completely.

Alex was now sent to a secluded place from where he could only leave after three years. He now has no choice but to sit down and cultivate like other cultivators.

​ .....

Not far away from the Profound Star Sect, there was a huge mountain called Thunder Breaking Mountain.

At the foot of this mountain, two girls were applying medicine to a Heavenly Completion Stage youth. However, the Heavenly Completion Stage youth's injuries were simply too severe. These two young girls could only wrap some cloth and herbs around the boy in order to barely preserve his life.

One of the easiest attacks to inflict hidden wounds was those of thunder attribute. If a human body was hit by a powerful electric current, even if they survived, their heart would easily fail, and they would die a few years later. This was because the thunder had passed through the heart and had left behind injuries that weren't visible on the outside.

Under these circumstances, this youth would have to stay in bed for a year or more. Following that, he might not be able to continue practicing martial arts, also, he wouldn't live much longer.

The Heavenly Completion Stage youth groaned in pain. Seeing their Second senior-apprentice brother in such a miserable state, the two girls could only endure. The Eldest senior brother, the black-clothed martial warrior, didn't seem to care about the Heavenly Completion Stage youth. Instead, he looked at Eric White who was passing by, as if he were hesitating to say something.

Noticing Eric about to walk away, the black-clothed martial warrior finally opened his mouth and said, "Brother, please wait."

Eric stopped and turned around to look at the black-clothed martial warrior. He coldly asked, "What do you want?"

Although Eric never had any conflict with the black-clothed martial warrior and his group, he remembered the avaricious looks that the Heavenly Completion Stage had sent toward him when he met these people a few days ago.

At that time, he wanted to ask them the way to the Profound Star Sect.

Eric naturally knew what sort of plans that he had been thinking of at that time. To that kind of person, he had no compassion. Even though he possessed some superior healing medicine in his spatial ring that could relieve his pain, he didn't plan on taking them out to help him.

Eric thought that the black-clothed martial warrior was going to beg him to save his junior brother, but he hadn't expected that the black-clothed martial warrior would instead say, "Brother, I have something to tell you, but I don't know if it's proper to say."

The black-clothed martial warrior was afraid that if he failed to say something satisfactory, then he would suffer from Eric venting his anger on him.

"What?"

The black organized his thoughts and continued, "My Sect's master once came to this Thunder Breaking Mountain to adventure and accumulated experiences, many of which he had told me. Although my cultivation is not high, I've already come to Thunder Breaking Mountain five times. With my experience and my master's experience, I can say that I have a relatively good understanding of Thunder Breaking Mountain."

Eric nodded but did not say anything.

The black-clothed martial warrior continued, "As far as I know, there shouldn't be any Crystal Transformation or stronger Thunder Crocodiles at the base of Thunder Breaking Mountain. However, two had actually appeared this time, one of which was at the Martial King Stage, which is too unusual."

"Thunder Crocodiles also have their own tribal groupings. The tribal group also has divisions within. The stronger a Thunder Crocodile is, the higher their status and the closer to the summit their territory is. The power of thunder is the richest at the summit. But the power of thunder weakens the further down it goes."

"Continue speaking." Hearing this, Eric thought that the Thunder Crocodiles were somewhat similar to human society. The more powerful martial warrior held more cultivation resources.

With Eric's encouragement, the black-clothed martial warrior was a bit more spirited. He no longer trembled, and said, "The power of thunder is limited in a territory. None of the Thunder Crocodiles are willing to let others absorb it. Unless there is an accident, a Thunder Crocodile will not leave their own territory. Otherwise, there might be conflict. A high-level Thunder Crocodile wouldn't normally come down the mountain. The only reason would be..."

The black-clothed martial warrior stopped here, and continue to say after taking a deep breath, "These are only guesses, I don't know if they are true."

"Say it, it doesn't matter if you're wrong." Eric saw the black-clothed martial warrior look a little concerned and spoke to assuage his nerves.

"Mm. Yes, I think that the two Thunder Crocodiles had evolved. They should have been Level 8 and Level 9 Thunder Crocodiles, equally powerful to Heavenly Completion Stage and Crystal Transformation Stage martial warriors, but by encountering some fortuitous opportunity, they managed to evolve to the Crystal Transformation Stage and Martial King Stage."

"Oh? What kind of fortuitous chance?" Eric asked. This was finally piquing his interest.

"Senior may not know, but because the power of thunder within Thunder Breaking Mountain is too rich, it will sometimes produce valuable thunder attribute materials. Spirit Thunder Grass is only the most ordinary of these."

"You suspect that these two Thunder Crocodiles have eaten some sort of valuable thunder-attribute material?"

The black-clothed martial warrior shook his head. He said, "It shouldn't have been eaten. Thunder Crocodiles most love to hoard things, such as Spirit Thunder Grass. Thunder Crocodiles love to see more Spirit Thunder Grass grow in their territory because the power of thunder will be richer, and its long-term effects are much better than eating the Spirit Thunder Grass. That's why centuries-old Spirit Thunder Grasses are usually guarded by high-level Thunder Crocodiles.

"A Thunder Crocodile lives for a very long time. There are even some Thunder Crocodiles that protect 5 or 6 hundred years old Spirit Thunder Grass and wait for it to grow into 1000 years old Spirit Thunder Grass. But a Thunder Crocodile will also have great benefits guarding it, which are much better than directly eating it. If there is a thunder-attribute material, then a Thunder Crocodile will not eat it. If they eat it, they might experience a small growth, but if they defend it and wait for it to grow up, then they will have endless benefits."

Eric said, "I understand what you mean. You think that these two Thunder Crocodiles are defending a treasure, and that's why there were able to evolve. I want to know why you're telling me this news; wouldn't it be better if you went to dig this treasure out yourself?"

The black-clothed martial warrior ruefully smiled and said, "I want to, but I would have to have the strength for the job. This kind of treasure might not be protected by just two Thunder Crocodiles. It might even possibly be a small Thunder Crocodile tribal group. If I do go, I fear I would already be dead before I even arrived."

"Even if I arrive safely and have the luck to not encounter any Thunder Crocodiles, the rare thunder-attribute treasure is not something that I can meddle with. It contains a very potent power of thunder. Let alone a valuable thunder attribute material, I can't even pick 500 years old Spirit Thunder Grass. If I accidentally touch the leaves, then I would follow the same fate as my junior-apprentice brother."

The black-clothed martial warrior glanced at the Heavenly Completion Stage youth who was lying unconscious on the ground and said.
