Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

He took out the World Lord's World Map that he had previously purchased on Qiulong Star from his spatial ring.

Jiang Lan stared intently.

Windstones can only be found in the Wind and Thunder Canyon, located in the core of the Thunder World.

According to the map, the distance between Fenglei Canyon and his current location is still nearly 300,000 kilometers.

Although 300,000 kilometers may not seem like a long distance, this is the world of the Lord of the Realms, which is completely different from Earth.

Within the Thunder World, gravity is thousands of times stronger than on Earth, and wind resistance is far beyond anything Earth can match.

Most importantly, dangerous lightning will occasionally strike from the sky.

If flying at full speed, safety cannot be guaranteed at all.

According to the map, it would take at least a month for a typical ninth-tier Hengxing to travel from Yaoyue Lake to Fenglei Canyon.

Even if it's fast, it will still take about twenty days.

However, Jiang Lan's strength had already broken through to the cosmic level. Whether it was flight speed or overall physical qualities, he was dozens of times stronger than when he was at the Hengxing level.

So if it were him, it would take about two days, or at most three days, to reach the Wind and Thunder Canyon.

After determining the route, Jiang Lan put the map away again.

It has been less than a week since he entered the Thunder World.

If the plan to retrieve the Wind Corner Stone goes smoothly, he should be able to leave this world of the Realm Lord in about ten days.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lan suddenly narrowed her eyes.

He vaguely remembered that within this world of the Lord of Realms, there seemed to be a world within a world.

However, normally, the opening of this realm within a realm should be several years from now.

Jiang Lan wasn't sure if it would start earlier this time.

If it's opened, he'll naturally go in and see if he can get any benefits.

But if it's not activated, it doesn't matter to Jiang Lan.

Shaking his head, Jiang Lan walked out of the cave.

Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it now. Let's just wait and see.

As Jiang Lan rose into the air, she transformed into a blur and sped towards the Wind and Thunder Canyon.

……

Two days passed quickly.

Jiang Lan stopped.

Before him appeared a continuous mountain range.

This mountain range is quite different from the previous Solon Mountains.

The Solon Mountains, while not exactly a beautiful environment, are still lush and green, and the area around Demon Moon Lake is particularly vibrant with life.

The mountain range where the Wind and Thunder Canyon is located is shrouded in darkness, as if the entire mountain range is covered by snowflakes.

But strangely, not a single speck of white snow could be seen on the mountain range.

This is because the "snowflakes" floating on the mountain are not actually snow, but rather a strong wind carrying a large amount of gravel.

Above the mountains, however, was a gloomy sky filled with almost solid black clouds.

Deep blue lightning flashed within the dark clouds, occasionally emitting low rumbling sounds, as if lightning might strike at any moment.

"boom!"

A bolt of lightning exploded and struck the mountain rocks.

The hard rock shattered instantly, creating a large crater that was charred black inside.

Jiang Lan frowned slightly.

The power of this lightning was much greater than that of any other lightning strike before.

If he had been hit, he would probably have died instantly.

Jiang Lan became more alert and became more vigilant.

Although obtaining the Windstone was not difficult for him, he could complete it given enough time.

You should know that he is now a cosmic-level martial artist.

If even Jiang Lan can't successfully obtain the Wind Corner Stone, then it's even less likely that the others who came to participate in the assessment will get it.

Even if he was absolutely certain, he still had to be extremely careful.

Jiang Lan stood at the edge of the valley and gazed inside for a long time.

He was mainly looking at the hurricanes in the mountains.

Wind and Thunder Canyon.

The danger of lightning ranks second.

The most dangerous thing is the wind in the Wind and Thunder Canyon!

The closer you get to the base of the mountain, the stronger the wind becomes.

This wind contains powerful primordial energy from the universe, and with its extremely high speed, it's like a meat grinder.

Those who are not strong enough will lose a layer of skin the moment they make contact.

Even at the very bottom, even a powerful domain lord would be blown away by the hurricane and leave not a trace after a short while.

If you want to obtain the Windstone, which is the quest item, you must enter the Wind and Thunder Canyon.

Generally speaking, there are three ways to obtain Windstone.

The first option is to fly directly to the top of Wind and Thunder Canyon.

The higher you go, the weaker the wind becomes.

Although the hurricane below could tear even a domain lord-level expert to shreds.

However, at the top of Wind and Thunder Canyon, the power of the gale is such that even a slightly stronger seventh or eighth-level Hengxing cultivator can withstand it.

While doing so eliminates the danger of the wind, it also eliminates the threat of lightning from the sky.

The characteristics of lightning are all the same.

Even this world of thunder is no exception.

That means it will first look for the nearest target.

In other words, the higher the flight altitude, the higher the probability of being struck by lightning.

According to the map, if you stay at the top of Wind and Thunder Canyon for half an hour, the probability of being struck by lightning is about 50/50.

Furthermore, the probability of being struck by lightning is even higher if you are wearing metal objects or metal combat suits.

After only a moment's thought, Jiang Lan rejected this first method from the bottom of her heart.

He can get the Windstone by taking his time; there's no need to resort to this method that's no different from gambling with his life.

It's a 50/50 chance. If he's lucky, then it's fine.

If you're unlucky enough to be struck by lightning, then you won't have the chance to choose again.

Next, we'll discuss the second method.

The second method involves approaching the edge of the Wind and Thunder Canyon and using genetic energy or mental power to draw out the wind-capped stones that are enveloped in the wind.

This method requires extremely sharp eyesight and precise timing.

Not all rocks in a hurricane are wind-cutting rocks.

Wind-shaped stones are only a very small part of the total.

Most of what was enveloped by the gale was just ordinary rocks.

Therefore, to use this method, one must not only accurately locate the wind-pointing stone from among many stones, but also choose the time when the hurricane is at its weakest to attract the wind-pointing stone.

Forcibly attracting it despite the hurricane is something that only extremely powerful domain lords or world lords could possibly accomplish.

"Tsk tsk..."

Jiang Lan smacked her lips.

This method works, but it's a bit too time-consuming.

If we do it this way, it's uncertain when we'll be able to get all three Windstones.

or……

Jiang Lan's eyes flashed.

If you want to speed things up, there's another way.

grab!

Stealing from others!

The persistently high mortality rate among trainee mercenaries is due not only to the dangerous environment of this Thunder World, but also to deaths resulting from conflicts between martial artists. (End of Chapter)
