Condemning the Heavens

Chapter 384: 384

They flew for a long time until they reached a mountain range, where they descended . Here Xue Wei used his strength to carve out a large cave in one of the mountainsides, and they all entered, aware that this would be their home for the next month .

As soon as they arrived, Xue Wei placed multiple inscriptions at the entrance, masking their cave and putting out an illusion for those who came by .

Having accepted the protective measures, they all sat down cross-legged . None of them needed to guard, as Xue Wei would feel it the moment someone came close to his illusion inscription .

Since they did not need to guard, all of them took stock of their treasures . Some decided to strengthen their Qi; they took out spiritual fruits and other herbs that could raise and enhance their Qi foundation and layer .

Others decided to consume their Qilin horn and try to gain an affinity with the Thunder element .

There were many elemental affinities in the world . However, the purest were the five elements known as wuxing . It was Fire, Metal, Water, Earth, and Wood .

While these elements were the base of all elements, many other elements were also beneficial, the thunder and lightning element was especially very sought after, due to the attack power, and speed .

Xue Wei was pondering on what to spend his time doing, but after contemplating for some time, he took out a Qilin Horn and a Black Scorpion Lily .

He had one in each hand, and while it was immensely taxing on his mind, he found that it was possible to absorb the Black Scorpion Lily while comprehending the elemental affinity in the Qilin Horn .

The Qilin Horn was not supposed to be eaten, nor was it supposed to be ground to dust and used as a pill ingredient .

Instead, it was bursting with energy, which the cultivator was to consume . The power was Qi, and it would have a beneficial impact on one’s Qi levels, but at the same time, the Qi also carried with it the thunder and lightning elemental affinity .

One would have to extract this and then spend some time merging it with one’s body before it became tempered .

After being tempered with the Qi from the Qilin Horn, it would be much more sensitive to the thunder and lightning Qi, hence one had reached the threshold for gaining the elemental affinity .

As to whether or not the person was able to have an actual breakthrough in the aspect that depended entirely on the person’s ability to comprehend the energy .

The majority of the people present had taken their Qilin Horns and were trying to absorb the energy . The air in the cave was trembling, and thunder and lightning could be heard above the mountain from time to time .

There was so much thunder and lightning elemental energy in the air that it was impossible to get rid of it in a short while .

However, sensing this, Xue Wei was not too unhappy . He put away the Black Scorpion Lily and began absorbing the energy in the air alongside the energy within his horn .

There was no leakage of energy from his own horn, and a handful of the other experts also managed to absorb the energy with no leakage . Still, the majority did not have a firm enough control over their absorption rate .

This meant that although they would gain the elemental affinity, it would not be as strong as if they could consume larger quantities of the energy .

Xue Wei was not standing on ceremony with them . They were not his friends, and they were not his followers either . Absorbing the energy that was in the air was beneficial to him, and he was not stealing it from anyone as it would dissipate if he did not consume it .

The sounds of thunder and the flashes of lightning grew increasingly dense as the days passed .

Some had come close to the mountain for the sake of finding treasures . They all assumed that the strange phenomenon was a sign of a new treasure being born .

But no matter how much they scoured the mountain, it was impossible for them to locate a treasure, and after around a week, the thunder and lightning became less frequent . After two weeks, it had stopped altogether .

Inside the cave, the thunder and lightning elemental Qi, which had permeated through the air, was long since gone . Now it was dense with other energies; some were soul energies, essences of heavens and earth, Qi, and Spiritual Energy . There was even the occasional elemental affinity of varying types .

Although they had finished absorbing the Qilin Horns, they were all still in closed-door cultivation . They had initially planned to stay for a month, and Xue Wei was adamant about keeping this time to cultivate .

The more their strength rose, the higher the chance they had of surviving in the Blue Phoenix Manor .

Seeing that all of them had varying degrees of success in absorbing the Qilin Horn, he now had more faith in their strength .

The only two who had not consumed the Qilin Horns were Bai Tianyi and Luoluo . Neither of them could use them, so they had focused on their Spiritual Energy during this time, consumed numerous treasures that enhanced their strength .

Luoluo was now like a seventeen-year-old woman, she was alluring and attractive, but although her age had only risen with two years, Xue Wei did not doubt that her strength had taken a qualitative leap upwards .

The small snake was still attached to her wrist, and he could sometimes feel a dense aura being released from it .

It seemed that the legacy that Luoluo had gotten was not ordinary .
