There was darkness all around.
When Lin Ran woke up, he only felt pain all over his body, and he even felt like he wanted to fall apart.
“Kid, bear with it for a bit and you’ll be fine soon!”
The voice of the Heavenly Thunder Lord came through.
Lin Ran nodded, so uncomfortable at this point that he didn’t even want to lift his eyelids.
“Flutter.”
Suddenly, Lin Ran felt as if he had been thrown into the water.
But the water was hot and very comfortable.
After falling into the water he could feel a surge of power drilling into his body.
It was making the tiredness in his whole body disappear rapidly.
“It’s almost time, time to go see the Thunder Lord!”
The voice of the Heavenly Thunder Lord rang out again, and before Lin Ran could open his eyes, he felt that everything around him had disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already in the great hall of the Thunder Zun Pavilion.
Lin Ran opened his eyes to see that there were only two people within the entire hall, but there were only two people.
One of them was clearly none other than the Heavenly Thunder Lord.
And on the side next to him sat an old man, who should obviously be the Pavilion Master of the Thunder Dignity Pavilion.
“Kid has met Thunder Venerable!”
Lin Ran instantly saluted.
“Hmm, the Nine Heavenly Mystic Maiden is your ancestor, right!”
Lei Zun opened the door directly.
“Yes!”
Lin Ran was shocked in his heart, but he still nodded and admitted it, the other party could see this, so he obviously knew a lot about his ancestor as well.
“Not bad! The people who came out of that world of yours are all pretty good!”
Lei Zun laughed.
“You know about my ancestor, Zun Lei?”
Lin Ran asked busily.
“I know some, but not much, so I think you might as well focus on yourself!”
Lei Zun laughed.
“Er. Please also ask Lei Zun to clarify!”
Lin Ran was stunned, the other party clearly meant that he did not want to talk to himself about his ancestors.
There was nothing Lin Ran could do about this, but to be honest he already knew a lot about some of his ancestor’s experiences!
He just didn’t know whether his ancestor was dead or alive, and where he was!
It was useless even if one knew these things, so it was better to focus on the present.
“Don’t you want to know the result of the test just now?”
Lei Zun laughed.
“I want to!”
“Kid listen up!”
The Heavenly Thunder Lord on the side smiled and accounted for it.
“First of all you have a good divine sense and physical body hate, but your spiritual root is rather mediocre!”
“This can’t be helped because your small world and the immortal realm don’t belong to the same root and origin!”
“And the spiritual root has a very big impact on you, let me put it to you this way, if your spiritual root can be raised up, it can at least double your current cultivation speed!”
“The combat power can also go up by half!”
Lord Heavenly Thunder laughed.
“Double the cultivation speed?”
Lin Ran froze as he heard this.
What a sense of cultivation speed doubling was!
The higher the strength, the slower the cultivation speed.
By directly doubling one’s cultivation speed, one would likely break through to the Perfection realm in no time at all!
“Thank you, Thunder Venerable!”
Lin Ran was busy bowing respectfully, this was simply a great opportunity for himself!
“You are also a member of the Thunder Dignity Pavilion, no need for that!”
“Spiritual root cultivation takes time, I’ll give you an accelerating magic weapon, but even then I’m afraid it will take ten years!”
“You can go ahead and do whatever you have to do!”
Lei Zun said.
Lin Ran thought about it, it seemed like there was nothing really going on at the moment.
His own other doppelganger was in the small world of the Ancestral Lands, and once he got the flying shuttle he could crack the current anti-Alliance dilemma!
This doppelganger of his own was mainly looking for Song Nuan.
Thinking of Song Nuan, Lin Ran was busy asking.
“Lord Lei Zun, I wonder how much you know about the Divine Shadow Clan!”
“The Divine Shadow Clan? Why are you suddenly asking this?”
Lei Zun frowned slightly, seemingly shying away from the topic of the Divine Shadow Race.
“To tell you the truth, one of my most important friends has been captured by them!”
Lin Ran said.
“I’ve been poking around for news of her, only to never make much progress!”
“Captured by the Divine Shadow Clan! This matter is somewhat difficult!”
Lei Zun frowned and said.
“This Divine Shadow Race is very peculiar! They don’t have physical bodies, they’re all soul bodies!”
“According to the past, it’s impossible for their world to allow a physical body to survive!”
“And they need physical bodies, otherwise they’d be too disadvantaged in the Immortal World!”
“So, this friend of yours has a physical body that is probably still in Chaos Space!”
“The soul, it should have been brought into the world of the Divine Shadow Clan by them!”
“What?”
Lin Ran froze when he heard that.
The flesh was still in Chaos Space!
“Thunder Zun, I’m going to Chaos Space!”
Lin Ran said at once.
“Calm down, it’s useless for you to go now!”
Lei Zun said.
“First of all, your strength isn’t even at the Perfection realm, so you won’t be able to fight back against the people of the Divine Shadow Clan!”
“Even if you find out where the flesh is, you won’t be able to take it away!”
“To take a step back, even if you could really take the fleshly body away, so what!”
“Once the flesh body is too far away from the divine sense for too long, it won’t be able to keep it!”
“You can’t enter the Divine Shadow Clan now!”
“I am.”
Lin Ran was instantly dumbfounded.
Zun Lei was right, he had indeed been impulsive.
But knowing that Song Nuan’s physical body was in Chaos Space, if he didn’t do anything, he wouldn’t be able to stand it!
“Zun Lei, do you know of any way to send someone into the world of the Divine Shadow Clan!”
Lin Ran suddenly asked.
“You’re crazy, the world of the Divine Shadow Race is so dangerous and unpredictable that people are afraid of not being able to avoid it, and you actually want to go in!”
On the side, the Heavenly Thunder Lord was also a little anxious.
“Lin Ran, I advise you to think about this matter carefully!”
“The world of the Divine Shadow Clan isn’t an ordinary menace, even if you have a doppelganger!”
“Their methods are all aimed at the divine sense, even if you have a doppelganger, they can still wipe out your doppelganger as well through karma!”
Lei Zun also persuaded.
“I understand, I just want to know if there’s a way to enter the Divine Shadow Clan or not!”
Lin Ran said.
“There is a way!”
Lei Zun nodded his head.
“But now is not the time not to tell you! The most important thing for you at the moment is to raise your strength up!”
“And at the same time, raise your spiritual roots up!”
“I understand!”
Lin Ran nodded his head.
Having come all this way, he understood one thing profoundly, without strength you have no say in the Immortal Realm!
You couldn’t even protect the people you wanted to protect.
So there were times when even though he was anxious in his heart, he could only hold back.
Because there was nothing else he could do.
。。。。
After chatting with Thunder Zun for a little longer, the Heavenly Thunder Lord took Lin Ran away.
….
In the Thunder Dignity Pavilion, there was a place called the Spirit Tower.
This was a place where every disciple of the Thunder Zun Pavilion had to come.
One’s spiritual roots could not be raised overnight, let alone raised to the extreme.
The time magic artefacts that Lei Zun had rewarded Lin Ran with would also take ten years.
Without these time magic artefacts, the time required could be hundreds of years, or even a thousand years!
“The uppermost floor of this Spirit Tower has the best cultivation effect, but there is only one spot, and Zun Lei has already informed down that this uppermost floor is for you to use for ten years!”
“After ten years, if you haven’t reached the top, then you’ll have to let it out, after all, there are still many disciples in the Thunder Dignity Pavilion!”
The Heavenly Thunder Lord said.
“Thank you very much, Thunder Lord!”
Lin Ran was grateful, to be allowed to use it for ten years was already a great favour!
“Alright, get ready to go in, time waits for no one, look at you kid, you’re in quite a hurry!”
The Heavenly Thunder Lord laughed.
