Chapter 202: Entering the Thunder Tower
Looking at the Gray-Clad Man who walked out from the crowd, Sun Zhe couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he asked in a serious tone,
"Do we have any grievances?"
"No," Sword Flood replied succinctly.
"Is there a conflict of interest between us?"
"None either."
"We have neither grievances nor conflicts of interest. Why are you looking for me?" Sun Zhe looked at Sword Flood standing before him without any fear. What he valued was merely the opportunity to return to the Nine Continents Mainland. Since he had already qualified, even if the first on the Star Ranking List came, he would not feel the slightest bit of dread.
"What are you doing? This is the Thunder Temple. If you want to fight, take it outside. If anyone starts another dispute, get out immediately!"
Before Sword Flood could respond, Yan Ruoyun's expression turned cold as she sternly reprimanded both Sun Zhe and Sword Flood. She was originally the favored daughter of the Thunder Temple, holding a high position with significant power. Even though Sword Flood had an extraordinary identity, to her, he was just another junior.
Hearing Yan Ruoyun's reprimand, Sword Flood's expression also turned cold. Several disciples from Sword Pavilion quickly stepped forward to mediate, fearing that their senior brother might act out of anger in this Thunder Temple, which was not his territory.
After casting a cold glance at Yan Ruoyun, Sword Flood turned back to Sun Zhe. After a moment of contemplation, he ultimately turned around and returned to his original position.
Watching Sword Flood's departing figure, a thoughtful expression flashed in Sun Zhe's eyes. Among the people he knew who had connections with Sword Pavilion were only Zhuang Ruoxuan and Yan Ji; it seemed likely that Sword Flood had some relationship with these two.
Seeing this scene, the onlookers showed signs of disappointment. The clash between the Fourth Star of the Star Ranking and the Sixth Star Luo was expected to be an exciting competition, but unfortunately, it was interrupted by Yan Ruoyun.
"Ahem... Now all the stewards should count the number of attendees. If everyone is here, then The Gate of Thunder can be opened." At this moment, the Vice Master of the Eastern Hall slowly stepped forward to shift everyone's attention.
Upon hearing this, dozens of stewards from Thunder Temple immediately began counting the people around them. Seizing this opportunity, Sun Zhe also began to observe the two hundred qualifiers slowly.
Among these two hundred people, most are core disciples from various Sects and members of the Thunder Temple's Six Halls, with each group accounting for about forty percent of the total. The remaining individuals are Loose Cultivators like Sun Zhe. The disciples from the Sects, the Thunder Temple, and the Loose Cultivators occupy distinct areas, making their divisions clear.
Although all two hundred individuals who made it this far possess formidable strength, nearly all have reached the Realm of the Thunder Lord. However, a few stand out even more prominently. Among those known to Sun Zhe are Sword Pavilion disciple Sword Flood, Zheng Bin from the Thunder Temple's West Hall, Xi Men Zhuo from the East Hall, Pang Yiting and Han Xinrao from Hua Qing Sect, as well as several members from Golden Thunder Sect, including Thunder Abyss. There are also a few others with terrifying auras whom Sun Zhe does not recognize.
When Sun Zhe's gaze shifted to Thunder Abyss, it suddenly sharpened as he recalled Zhao Ang's words from that day.
Descendant of the Thunder God!
Although Sun Zhe is also a Thunder Body, he has merely undergone modifications to his physical body through lightning, which has no effect on his soul. This has resulted in his rapid cultivation of Thunder Power but little enhancement in comprehending Thunderous Divine Power. As a result, he has yet to reach the Third Floor realm with his Divine Ability Thunderclaw and lacks any truly impressive Thunderous Divine Power.
In contrast, Thunder Abyss is different; he possesses the bloodline of the Ancient Thunder God and is a true prodigy on the Thunder Path. His cultivation speed is extraordinary, and his comprehension of Thunderous Divine Power is astonishing. During the Selection Trial alone, Sun Zhe has already witnessed him unleash several powerful Divine Techniques. This opportunity for insight is likely to benefit him the most.
"Alright, since everyone is here now, we can go in shortly. Remember, each person will enter a separate room; do not wander around casually. Otherwise, you will be responsible for any issues that arise!" The Vice Master of the Eastern Hall reminded everyone once again.
After speaking, he walked slowly to the iron bridge before him, his expression becoming extremely respectful as he called out loudly towards the direction of the thunder tower,
"Please Elder Hai open The Gate of Thunder!"
His resonant voice echoed across the square, causing everyone's gaze to involuntarily turn toward the thunder tower. Their hearts tightened involuntarily; who exactly is Elder Hai?
"Are those two hundred fellows all here?"
An aged voice slowly sounded as a black figure suddenly appeared beside Thunder Abyss at the thunder tower. Dressed in tattered gray-black robes with completely white hair and eyes devoid of any luster, he resembled a dying old man. Yet this old man sat cross-legged above the Thunder Pool as if nothing were amiss, surrounded by countless arcs of Purple Lightning while appearing completely unaffected.
Seeing this scene caused everyone's hearts to tremble involuntarily. Although they had not attempted it themselves, they could sense that the power of lightning within this Thunder Pool was terrifying; even a strong Thunder Lord would likely be reduced to ashes in an instant if they fell in. Yet this old man sat there without any sign of discomfort. Even though he did not exude any aura, everyone present understood that this old man was undoubtedly a Super Strong Being!
Upon hearing the old man's question, the Vice Master of the Eastern Hall displayed even greater respect than when facing East Hall Master Xiang Yuanqiu and immediately replied,
"The two hundred individuals who passed through the Selection Trial have all arrived; not one is missing."
"Very good!"
As soon as the words fell, the old man slowly raised his head. His calm gaze made everyone feel a jolt in their hearts, even the incredibly proud Yan Ruoyun took two steps back, and for the first time, Sun Zhe saw her show respect to someone.
"Among these two hundred individuals, there are indeed a few who can barely be considered decent."
With a casual glance, the old man slightly nodded. There was no hint of surprise in his calm gaze; having lived for countless years, the so-called talents no longer caught his eye. Yet none of the two hundred arrogant individuals present dared to refute him.
Once he finished speaking, the old man's right hand slowly raised, and the black Gate of Thunder began to open. With a creaking sound, the iron tower door finally swung wide open, revealing nothing but darkness inside, making it impossible to see anything.
"Take them inside. Remember, it can only be the first level!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man's figure vanished once again into the Thunder Pool.
"Yes!"
The Vice Master of the Eastern Hall did not dare to delay for even a moment and immediately responded respectfully.
Seeing the old man disappear, everyone let out a gentle sigh of relief. Although he did not exude any aura, the invisible pressure still made everyone feel an irresistible sense of awe. Only after he left did this feeling gradually dissipate; even those as strong as Yan Ruoyun and her companions were no exception.
"How powerful!"
Watching the Black Figure disappear into the Thunder Pool, Sun Zhe's eyes flashed with longing as he unconsciously murmured to himself.
Such a powerful being could probably only be found in a major force like the Thunder Temple. Sun Zhe sensed that this old man was likely much stronger than anyone he had previously encountered among the Golden Thunder Elders, perhaps even comparable to Chiyou when he broke free from his seal. As for who would be stronger or weaker once Chiyou fully recovered, he could not guess; his vision had not reached that level.
Thinking of this, Sun Zhe couldn't help but recall that overwhelmingly domineering demon god. However, he also understood that he and Chiyou were ultimately from two different worlds; they were like gods and humans. Even if he returned to the Nine Continents Mainland, it would probably be difficult for him to encounter Chiyou again.
"Brother Sun, let's go." Pang Yiting walked up beside him, her light and graceful voice following suit.
"Alright!"
Sun Zhe retracted his gaze and suppressed the multitude of thoughts in his mind as he walked towards the Thunder Tower with the others.
...
Outside the Thunder Tower, he had not felt anything unusual, but once inside, Sun Zhe experienced a strange sensation, as if the entire tower was an independent space, not merely standing in the plaza but rather suspended in the Void. The iron bridge outside served as a connection between the two spaces.
Upon counting roughly, there were thousands of rooms on the first floor of the Thunder Tower. If it were a true tower, this would be impossible; typically, there would only be dozens of rooms at most on the first floor. The only explanation was that the Thunder Tower existed independently in the Void, with each room being a separate space contained within it.
"Currently, all the rooms on this first floor are empty. Each person will enter a room, and after three days, someone will come to notify you to leave. I hope you seize this opportunity and focus on your understanding."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Vice Master of the Eastern Hall led Yan Ruoyun and a few others out of the Thunder Tower, and The Gate of Thunder closed with a loud bang.
Three days passed in a flash, and now almost everyone understood the preciousness of this opportunity for insight within the Thunder Tower. In the blink of an eye, they all stepped into their respective rooms.
Sun Zhe did not hesitate and chose a room on the left side. As he stepped inside, however, he was taken aback by what he saw before him, his eyes filled with intense shock.
