If Lin Chen knew that his actions would make Zi Ling have such wild thoughts, he would definitely have knocked her out first.
After all, who could have imagined that this woman has so many inner dramas?
Of course, Lin Chen went to the stone chamber mainly to help Zi Ling retrieve the Water of Life, but that was not the main purpose, just a side matter.
If the lightning power was too violent when approaching the Jade Pond, which is at the center of the stone chamber, Lin Chen would retreat without hesitation. After all, Lin Chen wouldn't risk his life.
Even though the Water of Life is extremely important to Zi Ling, if even Lin Chen's physique could not withstand the lightning power at the center of the stone chamber, then Zi Ling would certainly be unable to endure it, and going forward rashly would only be sending herself to death.
Therefore, at that time, Lin Chen would undoubtedly knock Zi Ling unconscious and then leave this place.
Anyway, this place is here, and now that Lin Chen knows its location, he can always come back later.
After all, the lightning power here is greatly beneficial to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen slowly approached the center of the stone chamber, moving very slowly, yet exceptionally steady.
Just joking, nobody knows how powerful the lightning in the central area is, so Lin Chen must stay vigilant at all times, ready to flee the stone chamber at the slightest sign of trouble.
As Lin Chen gradually approached the center of the stone chamber, lightning power struck his body, and the Heavenly Thunder Pearl within him continuously absorbed the lightning power, starting to change in quality, having reached the level of a Fourth-Grade at its peak.
Continuing to approach the center of the stone chamber, Lin Chen could feel the lightning power becoming more violent, and as the Heavenly Thunder Pearl devoured that power, it seemed like it was about to break through and advance.
Finally, as the Heavenly Thunder Pearl continuously absorbed high-quality lightning power, it underwent a transformation and successfully advanced from Fourth-Grade to Fifth-Grade.
At this moment, the lightning power within Lin Chen exploded instantly, and he floated in the air of the stone chamber, his whole body filled with lightning power, with a majestic and imposing presence, as if a Thunder God had descended.
And as the Heavenly Thunder Pearl evolved to the Fifth-Grade level, Lin Chen's Ancient Divine Body, under such violent lightning power, also mutated, surprisingly endowing Lin Chen's Ancient Divine Body with the power of lightning.
In this way, not only does Lin Chen's Ancient Divine Body have extremely strong defensive power, but it also possesses offensive capabilities.
If Lin Chen is attacked by others, his body will release lightning power to retaliate against the opponent.
"This is one of the abilities of the Ancient Divine Body, similar to the Sky Howling Demon Wolf's ability to devour, having the chance to devour others' abilities."
"However, my physique mutates after receiving a certain level of attribute power, automatically obtaining abilities."
Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh, feeling that this ability of his was extremely perverse.
Through the refining with such violent lightning power, Lin Chen had a deeper understanding of the Thunder Lightning Mysteries.
This concept of lightning, once integrated into swordsmanship, would undoubtedly greatly increase the power of the swordsmanship.
With a new understanding of Thunder Lightning Mysteries, Lin Chen also suddenly comprehended the Thunder Escape Technique, allowing the Purple Thunder Shield Beam to break through to the Sixth Level.
This was an unexpected benefit for Lin Chen.
After all, Lin Chen had always been incredibly fast, and if he couldn't win, he could escape. Now with the improved Purple Thunder Shield Beam, it became another significant trump card for Lin Chen.
It must be said that this time Lin Chen really turned misfortune into a blessing.
Originally, Lin Chen just thought of helping Zi Ling to investigate and see if he could obtain the Water of Life, but unexpectedly gained such great benefits.
Having received such substantial benefits, Lin Chen immediately grew interested, continuing to approach the center of the stone chamber.
However, even though the Heavenly Thunder Pearl within Lin Chen had advanced to the Fifth-Grade level, he did not dare to be careless. After all, as he got closer to the center of the stone chamber, he could easily feel the power of lightning increasing.
If he was slightly careless, he might be struck to ashes by the power of lightning.
If Lin Chen acted as recklessly as Zi Ling, he would probably have died without knowing how, even with the Flowing Cloud Robe and Fiery Fire Profound Armor on him it would still be useless.
Thus, Lin Chen approached slowly. Although this stone chamber was large, for a martial artist, it could be crossed in just a moment.
However, Lin Chen took three days to slowly approach the Jade Pond at the center of the stone chamber.
In these three days, whether it was Lin Chen's physique or the Heavenly Thunder Pearl within him, they both advanced to unprecedented heights.
And Lin Chen's understanding of lightning power became deeper.
The Heavenly Thunder Pearl, having absorbed sufficient lightning power, advanced once more, from Fifth-Grade to Sixth-Grade.
This made Lin Chen very satisfied, as with the Sixth-Grade Heavenly Thunder Pearl, Lin Chen found it very easy to control the power of lightning.
Now, with the lightning power within him, Lin Chen could probably kill a half-step to Creation Realm expert with just a casual strike of lightning power.
And if he released all the lightning power within him, even a Creation Realm expert would likely have to submit.
Three days of refining with lightning power greatly enhanced Lin Chen's physique, and this three days' tempering was comparable to a remolding experience in that unfamiliar world.
After all, the power of lightning in the central area of the stone chamber was incredibly strong.
Watching Lin Chen finally reach the center of the Jade Pond, Zi Ling became slightly excited and felt immense gratitude towards Lin Chen in her heart. After all, she had witnessed all the hardships Lin Chen endured during these three days.
However, how could Zi Ling know that during these three days, while she thought Lin Chen was in deep pain, in reality, he was not suffering at all; quite the opposite, he felt at home amidst the lightning.
Lin Chen came to the edge of the Jade Pond, looking at the Water of Life within, which was dripping from those stone pillars hanging from the top of the stone chamber.
Looking at the Water of Life in the Jade Pond, Lin Chen's heart suddenly harbored a doubt: could these milky-white stone pillars also be some kind of heaven and earth treasure? Otherwise, how could the Water of Life drip down from above?
Thus, Lin Chen activated the Abyssal Eye and looked towards the milky-white stone pillars above to investigate. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
However, when Lin Chen's Abyssal Eye gazed at the top of the stone chamber, he suddenly discovered that inside the top stone pillar, there was an exquisite white jade pearl.
That white jade pearl was about the size of a fist, emitting a rich life aura, far more intense than the Water of Life.
It appeared that this Water of Life was formed by the Spiritual Energy emitted by the white jade pearl, condensed through the stone pillars over countless years, and then dripped down, filling this Jade Pond.
