With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Lin Fan didn't force himself to continue forward and instead sat down where he was to recover.

He had spent quite a bit of spiritual energy absorbing all of those bolts of lightning, so before he moved further, he wanted to recover that spiritual energy first.

So he just sat there recovering and absorbing the spiritual energy around him.

When he did this, he was surprised to find that there was a strong concentration of spiritual energy around him. It was much stronger than anything he had felt before in this Hidden Dragon Sect, it was even greater than the concentration of spiritual energy in the specialized cultivation caves of the Hidden Dragon Sect.

He couldn't help being confused when he felt this.

After all, this was just the trial area of the Hidden Dragon Sect, there shouldn't be a reason why there was such a high concentration of spiritual energy here. Yet, the spiritual energy around him was real and it wasn't something that he could deny.

Just what was with this place?

Still, he didn't let his mind get distracted too much.

Since there was a bunch of spiritual energy here, why wouldn't he take advantage of it and absorb as much as possible?

After all, it would also help his cultivation by absorbing this spiritual energy and there were no downsides to this.

The first trial was already this crazy and it was very likely that the future trials would be even crazier. There was nothing wrong with gaining some power, even if it was a bit before heading forward.

So he just sat there for an hour, drawing in all of the spiritual energy around him until he was back at full power. At the same time, with the high concentration spiritual energy that he had absorbed, he could feel that his cultivation was growing and he was getting closer to a breakthrough.

Though it was still far away, he could feel that he had taken a step forward.

After recovering to his full strength, Lin Fan opened his eyes and suddenly stood up, but he didn't continue moving forward.

Instead, he started sweeping the ground in front of him with his eyes as if he was looking for something.

After looking for a bit, he couldn't help revealing a surprised look as he muttered to himself, "So there were so many of them…"

As for what he was referring to, it was the number of pressure plates that were in front of him.

These pressure plates were the same as the one that he had stepped on before and he could see from their descriptions just how many bolts of lightning would fall down on him…

It seemed like this was the true identity of the trial.

One would have to make their way through this area and avoid the pressure plates that would trigger the lightning trap. If they triggered the lightning trap, they would need to either find a way to resist it or they would die.

That was because Lin Fan had seen that with the speed that the lightning bolts came down at, it was close to impossible for most people to avoid it.

As he thought of the lightning that fell, he suddenly remembered…that there should still be a bit of that lightning energy inside of his dantian!

So Lin Fan quickly stopped looking forward with his Appraisal Eyes and turned his attention to his dantian. He found that along with the Clear Water Bead and the Hell Flame Seed, there was now a ball of lightning that was also there.

Since it was the inside of his dantian, he wasn't able to use his Appraisal Eyes, but he had something even better than that.

So Lin Fan opened up his status screen and found…

There was something new that was written on it.

"Heavenly Thunder Seed (Immature)."

That was the new thing that had appeared beside his physique along with the Clear Water Bead and the Hell Flame Seed.

Lin Fan couldn't help focusing on the Heavenly Thunder Seed (Immature) and a description popped out.

Heavenly Thunder Seed (Immature): A seed formed from the condensation of the thunders of the heavens themselves. As long as it grows enough, it will one day be able to release heavenly thunder.

Lin Fan couldn't help being shocked by this description because heavenly thunder was very much different from the other two elemental items inside of his dantian. After all, heavenly thunder…wasn't that what fell when a cultivator underwent tribulation?

This was the thunder from the heavens, the punishment of the heavens, it was not something that a mortal should be able to control.

And yet here there was a Heavenly Thunder Seed that was found inside of his dantian.

If he was able to grow this Heavenly Thunder Seed and mature it, wouldn't that mean that he would have no fear of tribulations in the future?

Wouldn't he be invincible holding the heavenly thunder that was the might of the heavens themselves?

He couldn't help feeling completely shocked since the scale was just too different from anything he had encountered before…

But after being in a daze for a minute, he suddenly realized something.

This Heavenly Thunder Seed was formed after absorbing the lightning that had been thrown at him from the traps…then did that mean that this was a place that was capable of controlling heavenly thunder?

But heavenly thunder was something that was only supposed to be controlled by the heavens themselves.

While there were those that had special cultivation techniques that would allow them to draw on a bit of its power in nature, there was no cultivation technique that would allow for the generation of heavenly thunder like this.

Lin Fan didn't believe that the Hidden Dragon Sect had the ability to control heavenly thunder like this…

So just who had made this trial space?

Could it be that this was a place that was made by someone who had the power to rival the heavens themselves?

As this thought passed through his mind, Lin Fan couldn't help giving a tremble and feeling worried.

He had thought that he had become stronger after gaining everything that he had gained, but now he realized that he was just being arrogant. Even if he was in the Foundation Realm, he was still a weakling that can't hold a candle to truly powerful cultivators.

He had let his sudden increase in power go to his head…

He needed to reflect on this and try to remain low key again.

With his mind adjusted, Lin Fan raised his focus again as he was about to head through this hall again.

But before he could take a step, he suddenly thought of something else.

He had been able to form the Heavenly Thunder Seed from absorbing the lightning in this hall, so…if he were to trigger a few more traps and summon a bit more lightning to absorb…wouldn't that mean that the Heavenly Thunder Seed would grow even more?

Wouldn't that mean that he would be closer to being able to control the heavenly thunder?

Of course, this was a very risky move since there was no telling how strong the lightning bolts would be, but…

The more that he thought about it, the more he felt like he wanted to do it.

As the saying went, there was nothing to gain without risk, so he decided to take his risk.

But of course, since he had the proper tools, it would be a calculated risk.

When he looked at each of the pressure plates that were in front of him, he was also able to see how many bolts of lightning would be summoned by each one.

So he looked around until he found the one that would give him the least amount of lightning, which was a single bolt of lightning.

He walked over to that pressure plate and stepped on it without any hesitation.

As soon as the pressure plate sunk under his foot, there was a ball of light that suddenly gathered in a hole above his head on the ceiling. This ball of light became stronger and stronger until it suddenly exploded in a burst of light and released a bolt of lightning down at him.

Lin Fan didn't do anything as he just let that bolt of lightning fall down on him.

When it hit him, Lin Fan couldn't help revealing a slightly disappointed look.

That was because the feeling that this bolt of lightning gave him…was just too weak.

He tried it with this one bolt of lightning first because he had thought that there was the chance the different ones would have different levels of power, but it seemed like the power contained within each bolt of lightning was the same.

While it did help provide more lightning energy to the Heavenly Thunder Seed inside of his dantian, the amount was just too lacking compared to the two lightning bolts, three lightning bolts, or the four lightning bolts at once.

This single lightning bolt strike which had been hard for him to resist at first had become a piece of cake for him…

If the one who designed this trial knew about this, they would definitely want to cry and bang their head until they died.

After all, this was a bolt of heavenly thunder, something that all cultivators should have been terrified with.

Though the heavenly thunder adjusted its power based on the cultivation level of the one being struck, it would always be at a level where it was much stronger than the cultivator.

So that was why cultivators were terrified of this heavenly thunder.

It was unavoidable and it was much stronger than them.

But when it came to Lin Fan…it had been turned into a tool to grow his power with.

Since he couldn't feel anything with the single bolt of lightning, Lin Fan decided to find one that would drop two bolts of lightning on him.

After stepping on the pressure plate, two bolts of lightning fell down, but…

Once again, Lin Fan didn't really feel anything.

Compared to the three bolts and the four bolts, this just seemed like it was too lacking…

So Lin Fan went forward and continued searching for pressure plates that would drop more and more bolts of lightning on him.

Eventually, he found an area that would drop four bolts of lightning on him.

Without hesitation, he stepped on one of the pressure plates and four bolts of lightning rained down.

Finally, he revealed a satisfied look as this was the feeling that he wanted to feel.

He kept stepping on the pressure plates with four lightning bolts until he didn't feel anything from them.

Once he finished with these pressure plates, he went looking for one that would send down five bolts of lightning.

Just like this, Lin Fan slowly made his way through this room.
