Chapter 1386: Chapter 1386: Low-Key Comprehension of Electricity! Second Update The bluestone steps were covered with moss, and the higher one climbed, the more fog enveloped the surroundings, giving the feeling of ascending a divine mountain. In fact, Tai Shan has long been a place of revered mountains. Since ancient times, emperors and officials have performed their ceremonies and sacrifices here. Now it has become the main site for contending for the Supreme Emperor Clock, making it even more extraordinary. The revival of Spiritual Energy made the trees more towering. Looking afar at the entire mountain, it appeared majestic and grand with layers of ridges and peaks. Distant white clouds dotted the sky, and with the green pines and massive stones as contrast, Tai Shan exuded a mystical aura. Five figures ascended step by step. Ye Qiu, having climbed Mount Hua before, found Tai Shan’s steps to be more numerous and steeper. Though it seemed just a kilometer high, only by climbing personally could one realize that this kilometer was far from short. The lightning, initially sparse, increased gradually as everyone ascended. The pressure grew ever more intense, and some gave in, seeming to refine the beast pill to fend off the oncoming lightning. Once the beast pill was refined, the surface of their bodies would manifest the energy forms of mythical beasts, protecting them and reducing the invasiveness of the lightning. At this moment, the speed of the five was neck and neck, all reaching the halfway point of the mountain. It appeared only halfway, but every forthcoming step was exceedingly challenging as the lightning they had to withstand grew stronger. The rightful source is novel⦿fire.net Luo Fu and the Demon Lord Holy Son both began to use the beast pill to resist the lightning; otherwise, the constant torment from the lightning was exceptionally hard to endure. The only ones persevering without using the beast pill were Ye Qiu, the God of Beasts, and the Tai Yi Saint Heir. Seeing that Ye Qiu wasn’t using it, the Tai Yi Saint Heir naturally did the same. Although the climbing process prohibited mutual attacks, it did not hinder their rivalry. Climbing the peak, ascending fast or slow, was a form of competition. Enduring the torment of lightning without using the beast pill was another form of competition. Precisely because of the invisible contest with Ye Qiu, the Tai Yi Saint Heir did not rely on the beast pill. As for the God of Beasts, its original form was an ancient beast, not human. In terms of physical strength among those present, none could surpass the God of Beasts, not even the Tai Yi Saint Heir. The God of Beasts wanted to test its limits, so under unavoidable conditions, it too would not use the beast pill. Their gazes met, and Ye Qiu withdrew his eyes from the Tai Yi Saint Heir, murmuring to himself, “A test of endurance, is it? Let’s see who holds on longer.” Ye Qiu smiled, no longer bothering with the Tai Yi Saint Heir, and focused on the steps ahead, continuing to step upwards, lifting himself further. Yet another lightning struck as expected. As he felt the entire body struck by lightning, as if a current ran through, it was akin to being bitten by thousands of ants, making life feel worse than death. If it were anyone else, it would naturally be unbearable, but at this time, Ye Qiu had a different experience. Ye Qiu had been struck by lightning many times. Ever since he acquired the Twelve Tribulations Technique, he was frequently struck by lightning, and under its tempering, his body became increasingly robust. Relying even on the advantages of the lightning, Ye Qiu had also comprehended the Rule Power of lightning and mastered the power of thunder. Currently, of the nine Rule Powers, he had comprehended eight, lacking only the power of electricity to complete the full understanding. Ye Qiu had previously been troubled by how to comprehend the Rule Power of electricity. Unfortunately, even when he provoked the Twelve Tribulations Technique, no lightning would descend, leaving him unable to experience the power of electricity. For this, Ye Qiu had tried to understand the power of electricity during thunderstorms. However, weather isn’t something he controlled. To make it thunder on command was too troublesome and had many limitations. Ye Qiu had always been troubled by the absence of a better way to comprehend the last Rule Power, but now, this trouble seemed to fade away. Climbing Tai Shan and enduring the lightning was surely the best opportunity. Therefore, when he heard the Artifact Spirit mention the obstacles from climbing, instead of frowning, he was exceedingly excited. At that time, he thought of seizing this opportunity to thoroughly comprehend the power of electricity. This would completely understand all nine Rule Powers, causing a qualitative leap in his strength. He would no longer need to deliberately suppress his realm, he could indulge in breakthroughs. To comprehend all nine Rule Powers, Ye Qiu had been suppressing his cultivation and improving his realm, afraid that once he entered the Emperor Realm, he would lose the opportunity to comprehend the Rule Powers. Right now, the opportunity was right. He could use this time and place to comprehend the power of electricity and master all rules. Moreover, before the Supreme Emperor Clock completely belonged to him, extraterrestrial experts could descend at any time. Without powerful strength, it was very likely everything belonging to him would be taken away. As his footsteps landed, the lightning spread throughout his body. The Rule Power of thunder was already transparent to Ye Qiu, no longer causing harm. All Ye Qiu needed was to carefully experience the power of electricity. Thunder and electricity are born together, often appearing simultaneously, yet the nine Rule Powers separate thunder and electricity, indicating they are distinct, though more powerful when together. The thunder Ye Qiu mastered wasn’t weak, but lacking the power of electricity, it felt lifeless, lacking vitality. Thus, Ye Qiu always pondered the power of electricity, believing only the combination of thunder and electricity was the strongest. Now, he meticulously felt the currents coursing through his body, passing through every cell, every organ, and then disappearing, leaving nothing unexamined. “Electricity, fleeting like light.” “It’s distinct from thunder; first comes thunder, then electricity.” “When electricity enters the body, while causing damage, it simultaneously produces a kind of variation-like improvement that can increase electricity’s damage again.” Murmuring the details he observed about electricity, Ye Qiu became gradually familiar with it in his heart. As Ye Qiu comprehended the Rule Power of electricity, his speed also slowed down, for he needed time to ponder and experience slowly. Only after the current thoroughly vanished from his body would he take another step. Not long after, Ye Qiu fell behind. Initially, Ye Qiu, the Tai Yi Saint Heir, and the God of Beasts were advancing together, but now Ye Qiu lagged, while the Tai Yi Saint Heir and the God of Beasts climbed fastest and highest. The Demon Lord Holy Son also caught up and, seeing Ye Qiu’s leisurely appearance, sneered without saying much, continuing forward. It was Luo Fu who reminded Ye Qiu, and Ye Qiu nodded with a smile, saying it was no problem, encouraging him to continue climbing. Not understanding what Ye Qiu was up to, Luo Fu had no choice but to continue upwards. “If the treasure falls into my hands, don’t blame me,” Luo Fu said, overtaking Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu smiled without speaking, then closed his eyes and slowly ascended another step, continuing to comprehend the rules of electricity. Among the five, Ye Qiu lagged behind, almost a full length from the other four. The fastest was the Tai Yi Saint Heir, with the God of Beasts just half a step behind, closely followed by the Demon Lord Holy Son. The Artifact Spirit hovered in the air, unaffected by the Heavenly Tribulation. Its gaze fell on the fast-moving Tai Yi Saint Heir, and it said lightly, “This child somewhat resembles my master from back then… not bad, not bad…” As for Ye Qiu, who lagged at the back, the Artifact Spirit paid little attention.
