Chapter 207
Nan Shao County was under the jurisdiction of four counties, with a registered population of 500,000 to 600,000 people.
If one added in the hidden households and mountain people, the number would be even greater.
However, for such a medium-sized local county, the forbidden guards of the Prefecture’s Sneak Removal Hall only numbered a mere one hundred and twenty-seven, and they simply didn’t have the power to project to the counties below.
The reason for this was complex.
Although the Prohibited Guards Department was directly under the orders of the Imperial Family, the late Emperor’s reign had been characterized by the reverence for literature and the suppression of the military, and as a result, it had not been a comfortable time.
The Deer Party, which holds the Cabinet, regards the Defense Department as a thorn in its side and tries to suppress it by all means.
The most important thing is that the income of the Qian dynasty has been declining, the funds allocated to the forbidden guards department and all over the elimination of sneakiness hall decreasing year after year, coupled with the forbidden guards in the process of carrying out the task of high casualties, so that the present situation.
The Zuo Yongjun, who is in charge of the Southern Shao Sneaky Hall, is a straightforward person, and is extremely exclusive to crooked and evil ways, so it’s already a rare situation to be able to maintain this kind of situation.
But this is precisely the point that Wang Chen appreciates the most.
The storm put strong grass the test, and the board swings to see the loyal officials.
Such a character is worthy of trust and can be entrusted with important tasks!
After arranging the most important matters, Wang Chen left all the other work to Xiao Wan.
He closed himself up to comprehend the Five Yang Dry Thunder.
The “Five Yang Qian Lei” was born out of the “Shang Qing Dutian Divine Heavenly Thunder Law”, belonging to the latter’s method of entering the foundation for the Taoist Sect’s authentic art, the method was profound and powerful, and it could be cultivated from the qi stage all the way up to the Zifu realm.
In order to exchange for this Thunder Law, Wang Chen had paid a whole thousand Hoon points.
The difficulty of practicing the Five Yang Qian Thunder was also very high, he had been comprehending it on his way to Daqian aboard the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, but the progress was quite slow.
This spell was extremely compatible with the Running Thunder Sword Technique, and once successfully practiced, it could drastically increase the power of the sword technique.
So Wang Chen was imperative to master it no matter what.
He raised the operating intensity of the Stargazer Pavilion’s spell formation to the highest and went all out to cultivate the Five Yang Qian Thunder.
Three days later, Wang Chen emerged from the gate.
After he emerged from the gate, he summoned Xiao Wan to give him a few instructions before quietly leaving the Zhentian Master’s Mansion.
Wang Chen had just stepped out of the gate and immediately sensed several prying gazes falling on him!
There was no doubt that there had been someone secretly staring at every move of the Zhengu Tianshi Mansion.
This was actually quite normal.
Earlier, Wang Chen had sent thirty heads to the County Guardian’s Mansion and heavily slapped Ruan Zhaoming.
How could the other party let it go?
Moreover, those who were staring at the Heavenly Master’s Mansion were definitely not only the County Guardian’s Mansion.
After all, there was a new owner of the current Zhen Guan Tianshi Mansion, and Wang Chen’s current identity could be said to be very sensitive.
Even if he had no intention of getting involved in mundane matters, it was impossible for others to be without defense and vigilance.
Wang Chen was prepared for this.
He wore a set of ordinary clothes, and he also wore the Thousand Chance Change when he came out.
He changed into a plain and ordinary face.
No one would recognize him.
With the blessing of the Breath Convergence Technique, Wang Chen naturally blended into the coming and going crowd and disappeared.
After leaving Nan Shao City, he traveled in a southwestern direction.
When he reached an uninhabited place, Wang Chuan executed the Shadowless Divine Walk, and his body swept out like an arrow off a string.
He soon entered the rolling hills and mountains.
His destination out of the city this time was Falling Thunder Peak, which was a hundred miles away from Nan Shao City.
The most crucial step in the Five Yang Qian Thunder initiation was to draw thunder into the body.
It required the cultivator to attract a trace of thunder into the body, quenching the meridians and mana to enhance the affinity for lightning.
Drawing thunder into the body was dangerous, and could not be accomplished by sitting in a quiet room and comprehending it.
One needed to find a place with dense thunder and experience the might of heaven and earth to understand the wonders of this spell!
Previously, Wang Chen had checked the information and knew that this mountain peak was named because of the frequent fall of thunder.
It was exactly the place he needed to cultivate.
In fact if there was no Thunderfall Peak, Wang Chen’s original plan was to create a large kite and then release it during a thunderstorm to accomplish drawing thunder into his body.
Now there was no need to go through so much trouble, and if Thunder Fall Peak was as described in the information, it would be very suitable for him to cultivate Five Yang Qian Thunder here in the future.
Half an hour later, Wang Chen arrived at his destination.
Falling Thunder Peak was actually very easy to find, it was like a giant pillar standing between the mountains, straight and lonely.
The top of the pillar was surrounded by clouds and mist, and there was the faint sound of thunder rumbling out from the clouds.
Wang Chen was delighted in his heart and immediately increased his speed to climb towards the peak.
For ordinary people, climbing such a steep mountain peak was definitely a very dangerous thing.
But for Wang Chen, it wasn’t much different from walking on flat ground.
If it wasn’t for the sake of saving mana, he could have sacrificed his Willow Leaf Flying Boat and flew up directly.
Even so, it only took Wang Dust a mere one tea’s worth of effort to reach the peak smoothly.
“Huh?”
Wang Chen froze.
The peak of this Sunset Peak was quite flat, as if it had been cut with a sword, and the area was quite large.
There weren’t any trees on it, and only a handful of weeds grew tenaciously between the gaps in the rocks.
The rocks here generally showed a charred black color, and there were a few signs of melting.
What surprised Wang Chen was not the fact that there were some strange sights here.
After all, it was only the mundane world, no matter how magical it was, there was no way to compare it to the Immortal Cultivation World.
What really surprised Wang Chuan was that he actually sensed a trace of heaven and earth aura that existed in the surrounding space, if at all!
The mundane world belonged to the land of extinct spirits, and normally there was no heaven and earth aura present.
Previously, Wang Chen ran from Qianjing to Nanshao, and this was the case for thousands of miles along the way.
However, there was actually spiritual qi here?
Although it is said that the spirit of heaven and earth that falls into the ground is extremely thin, there is not much gain for cultivation, but the existence of spirit qi itself is very special, and obviously there is another mystery that exists.
It was just that Wang Chen currently didn’t have the heart to dig into the secrets here.
He looked around, then found a large rock and dug out a pit next to it and sat down.
Drawing thunder into the body is not holding one’s head against the thunder in the sky – that’s called asking for death.
As long as you are able to sense the power of thunder radiating from the space around you, and guide it into your meridians and dantian, over and over again until you complete the quenching, then the Five Yangs Dry Thunder will be considered as a beginner.
And Wang Chen dug the pit in order that after sitting down, his body height would not exceed the rock next to him.
Otherwise, there was a possibility that he would be the target of being struck by lightning.
Rumble~
He had only just prepared himself when a low rumble came steeply from above his head, and it came with a loud bang.
Ka-ching!
In the next moment, a bolt of lightning steeply struck down just a dozen paces away from Wang Chen.
Falling Thunder Peak was worthy of its name, and the frequency of thunderfall greatly exceeded his expectations.
Wang Chen was not surprised, but rather delighted.
Immediately, he concentrated and began to absorb the power of thunder that filled the surrounding space.
