#1122 - Chapter 1122 Thunder Blasts the Mountain

Ye Kong said calmly and casually, “Anyone with hands can do it.”

… …

The air seemed to freeze for a moment, and then returned to flow.

Wang Zonghan's appreciation for Ye Kong grew even more.

“You little brat, you’re quite arrogant!” Wang Zonghan pointed to the medicinal field.

“But you must remember that all the medicinal fields we maintain require us to personally set up a law barrier to prevent bad consequences.”

Wang Zonghan gave a few instructions, and Ye Kong listened earnestly.

Afterward, Wang Zonghan led Ye Kong to the bamboo forest behind the mountain.

The turbulent mist seemed to naturally make way for Wang Zonghan, without the slightest obstruction.

Ye Kong slightly scanned the surroundings and roughly guessed what was happening.

Passing through a swirling white mist, Wang Zonghan stopped. Ye Kong looked up and saw a Dharma Hall standing in an open space.

The Dharma Hall gleamed with golden light, giving people a sense of inviolability.

Wang Zonghan didn't speak but led Ye Kong further inside.

Upon entering the Dharma Hall, the first thing that caught the eye was a large, conspicuous red plaque in the center with the character “Learn” written on it.

Wang Zonghan stopped and turned around, with a wave of his sleeve, “Bang!” The double doors closed.

The hall was brightly lit, and everywhere one looked, there were numerous secret manuals.

Wang Zonghan's upright appearance now possessed the aura of "Literary Sect Mansion, Boundless Ocean" that others spoke of.

“Don’t you think that just because I’m staying in this desolate back mountain, I have nothing.”

In other words, Wang Zonghan seemed to be saying, look, my assets are not just that one medicinal field.

Ye Kong politely replied, “Elder Wang is truly unfathomable.”

Wang Zonghan had heard countless people praise him, but he had always ignored them. However, upon hearing Ye Kong’s superficial compliment, a brilliant smile appeared on his face.

“Boy, I must say, your talent gives you a certain advantage on the path of cultivation. I have decided to focus on nurturing you, and I hope you will not fail my efforts.”

Wang Zonghan said earnestly, a stark contrast to his arrogant attitude at the beginning.

Ye Kong hesitated, because he didn't expect that Elder Wang could really teach him anything.

But since he was already a disciple of the academy, Ye Kong nodded in agreement.

Although Ye Kong didn't show a very happy expression, Wang Zonghan was slightly dissatisfied, but it didn't matter.

From then on, Wang Zonghan was like a clingy candy, following Ye Kong everywhere, even back to his small cave.

Wang Zonghan directly wanted to give Ye Kong an independent courtyard for him to rest, but Ye Kong refused, and Wang Zonghan didn't want to force it.

The spiritual energy in the back mountain was scarce, but as long as one was in the Dharma Hall, the whole body could receive abundant spiritual power.

Ye Kong followed Wang Zonghan to learn cultivation, and his cultivation speed was indeed much faster than before. With Ye Kong's strong foundation, all aspects of himself were greatly improved.

Three months later, the Taichu Academy welcomed the entry disciples' mountain training, which was a must for every Taichu Academy disciple.

Opening his eyes, Ye Kong woke up from the Dharma couch. Although he had been diligently cultivating for three months, his cultivation level still couldn't break through. Ye Kong was helpless and knew that this was a forced setting of the system.

Three months had passed, and he was still in the demigod realm.

Just as Ye Kong was annoyed, the familiar voice sounded in his ear again.

“Ding~ The time has come. The mountain training for the entry disciples of Taichu Academy is also an opportunity for the host.”

Ye Kong immediately understood what the opportunity the system was talking about meant.

The next morning, the drum bell of Taichu Academy resounded around, and the disciples from each courtyard immediately set out and rushed to the main courtyard.

Wang Zonghan generously gave Ye Kong a Light Boat flying device. Using this for travel could greatly save spiritual energy, but for Ye Kong, it was the same whether he had it or not, it didn't matter. Under Wang Zonghan's insistence, Ye Kong finally accepted it.

Arriving at the Drill Ground, Elder Wang did not appear on this occasion. The five people led by Si Mingye were high above the thousand steps. The leading disciples standing at the bottom of the steps were Ling Xuan and Shen Fan Shuang.

Ye Kong quietly stood at the very back.

Si Mingye glanced at everyone, then solemnly said, “Everyone, it has been several months since you came to Taichu Academy. I believe that during this period, only you yourselves know how much you have gained and how much you have mastered.”

“Every session of disciples in Taichu Academy must undergo mountain training. The road is yours to walk. After going down the mountain, the academy will assign you important tasks, which you must do your best to complete. You will return in five months.”

After Si Mingye said a few words, Ling Xuan and Shen Fan Shuang distributed letter feathers and sensors to everyone.

The letter feather was a feather, and the people from the same courtyard had the same color feather. But Ye Kong's feather was colorful. This was Si Mingye's special privilege for Ye Kong, because Wang Zonghan had only accepted Ye Kong as his disciple.

Ye Kong's letter feather could be used to call out to disciples from other courtyards at will.

A token made of bronze and black iron had the words “Taichu” on the front and back. This token could echo with people in the academy within a hundred miles. This was to prevent isolation and helplessness in times of distress.

After everyone received the letter feathers and sensors, Si Mingye spoke again, “Now, hold the sensors tightly in your hands and activate them by pouring spiritual energy into them.”

Ye Kong did as Si Mingye said. With just a light pinch, his whole person directly soared into the air and disappeared. Seeing this, the others closed their eyes and gathered their spiritual energy.

The blinding white light in front of him forced Ye Kong to close his eyes. When the light subsided, Ye Kong opened his eyes.

The scene in front of him was already an unfamiliar environment. Ye Kong then realized that he was no longer in Taichu Academy.

“Buzz~”

The sensor in his hand vibrated slightly. Ye Kong picked it up and saw a small, spiritual illusion map appear above the sensor.

This thing actually has this function!?

Ye Kong could be considered a person who had seen the world. Seeing the spiritual illusion map on the sensor, he was only shocked for a second, then withdrew his surprise and returned to calm.

With the display of the spiritual illusion map, Ye Kong realized that he was now near Thunderclap Mountain in the Upper Realm.

Weeds grew wildly around him. It could be seen that there were very few people here.

What Ye Kong didn't know was that within the boundaries of Thunderclap Mountain, there would be irregular heavenly lightning tribulations, which were more terrifying than ordinary lightning tribulations. Some people who had been to Thunderclap Mountain were unharmed, while others were completely paralyzed, and the serious ones died directly.
