In the far west of the continent of Shenzhou, there is a kingdom called Haoyue.
In the northwest, there is a mountain named Jiu Xuan. It is called Jiu Xuan because Jiu Xuan Mountain is governed by a sect known as the Jiu Xuan Sect.
Behind Jiu Xuan Mountain, there is a bamboo forest known as the Enchanted Forest, which is a forbidden area of the Jiu Xuan Sect, as those who enter have never come out.
However, within this dangerous Enchanted Forest, there exists a different scene.
In the center of the maze, several thatched cottages stand tall, and there is even a small hillside next to them. Under the hillside, there are several cave dwellings, which look like a fairyland.
At this moment, from one of the caves, the sound of a gentle stream can be heard. As the view zooms in, it turns out that there is a pool inside the cave.
Unlike other ponds, the water in this pond is black, like the water of the god of death, as if it has no bottom.
In the center of the pond, there is a stone platform, just submerged by the water.
At this moment, there is a slightly slender figure sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, practicing cultivation. The figure is dressed in black, which surprisingly blends well with the surroundings.
What sets this figure apart is the fair skin, as white as snow, which might provoke envy in any woman who beholds it.
Suddenly, the young man's body trembled, and the surrounding spiritual power seemed to be attracted, continuously flowing towards the young man, causing the previously calm pool of water to churn.
The dark pool water flowed along the stone platform, and upon contact with the platform, it was absorbed. There were many small holes around the platform, and at this moment, a faint dark gas was emanating from the holes, being absorbed by the young man.
With the entry of the black gas, the young man's breath steadily rose, finally reaching its peak at a certain moment.
"Bang."
The boy seemed to have broken through some kind of barrier, and the restless environment around slowly returned to normal.
After it quieted down again, the boy's eyelashes flickered, and then his eyes suddenly opened wide, with a burst of golden light that was particularly dazzling.
For a long time, it finally returned to calm.
Unlike the golden light, the young man's eyes were a rare shade of purple, slightly eerie.
"Sigh~"
The young man let out a long breath.
" Gathering Yuan Realm Triple."
The young man reached out his hand, looked at his palm, murmured, and a smile appeared in his eyes. Then he stood up and walked out of the cave.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, the young man looked up at the sun for a moment before returning his gaze.
In front of him was a thatched cottage, next to which a slightly stooped figure lounged lazily in a rocking chair. His eyes were closed, and his lips moved slightly.
"Dust, you're out of seclusion."
"Grandfather." Luo Chen cupped his hands.
"Not bad, triple Gathering Yuan Realm." The old man still had his eyes closed, but it seemed like he had already seen through him.
"Condense your spiritual power and let me have a look." The old man finally opened his eyes slightly and looked at Luo Chen.
Luo Chen nodded, extended his palm, and the spiritual power within his body slowly circulated. A faint dark light appeared in the palm of his hand. Then the light burst out, as if forming a black flame.
The old man looked at Luo Chen's palm and nodded slightly.
"Not bad."
Not bad! If there were outsiders present, they would surely exclaim in surprise. The transformation of spiritual power into substance signifies that the spiritual power condensed within the body is already strong enough to materialize.
At this moment, the virtual fire in Luo Chen's hand was a manifestation of his spiritual power becoming tangible.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, they would likely need to reach the Fifth Layer of Gathering Essence Realm or even the Sixth Layer to condense it into a physical form. However, Luo Chen had just broken through to the Third Layer of Gathering Yuan Realm.
These talents can be considered monstrous, but in the old man's mouth, it's just a barely correct statement.
Hearing the old man's evaluation, Luo Chen felt a slight joy in his heart, and then his palm trembled and the flames dispersed.
"Grandfather, can you teach me spiritual arts?" Luo Chen looked at the old man.
"Spiritual arts, huh? You can indeed start learning some now."
Spiritual arts are combat skills used in battle to enhance one's fighting abilities.
Spiritual arts are divided into three, six, and nine levels. The higher the level of spiritual arts, the rarer and more difficult they are to cultivate. Therefore, those who are just starting to practice usually begin with lower-level spiritual arts.
Luo Chen may have reached the third level of the Gathering Yuan Realm, but he has not mastered any spiritual techniques. Of course, it's not that he doesn't want to learn, it's just that he grew up in this remote mountain and has never left, so no one has taught him.
The old man nodded slightly, looking at Luo Chen.
"Follow me," said the old man as he stood up from his chair and walked towards the bamboo forest outside the thatched cottage, with Luo Chen following behind him.
Outside the bamboo forest, the old man's figure paused.
"I will teach you a set of boxing techniques today," he said, suddenly turning around and brushing a ray of light across Luo Chen's brow, and the light entered Luo Chen's mind along his fingertip.
"Thunder Demon Hand," a voice seemed to echo in Luo Chen's mind, and at the same time, a large amount of information entered Luo Chen's mind.
Thunder Demon Hand channels the power of thunder through the palms.
"What a domineering martial art. To actually channel the power of thunder through both hands. Isn't this self-harm?" Luo Chen thought to himself, then opened his eyes and looked at the old man.
"How come, are you afraid?" The old man seemed to know what he was thinking and jokingly spoke.
"Don't worry, with your current strength, trying to control the power of lightning is nothing but seeking death." The old man made a gesture, and Luo Chen's arm involuntarily landed on his hand.
Soon, a faint light flashed in the palm of the old man's hand, forming a series of lightning that danced between his palms before finally landing on Luo Chen's arm.
"Hiss~" Luo Chen took a sharp breath. A sharp pain shot up from his arm.
The lightning traveled across Luo Chen's arm and finally entered into it.
The intense pain made Luo Chen's arm go numb. After a while, as the lightning disappeared, the intense pain slowly subsided and eventually disappeared.
"Grandpa, what is this?"
"This is Thunder Seed. I have planted it within your arm, and you can activate it to temper your arm."
Luo Chen looked at his palm and saw a faint light on the back of his hand, which turned out to be the Thunder Seed. He patted the back of his hand with lingering fear, then put his hand down.
"This Thunder Seed not only can help you cultivate the Thunder Demon Hand, but also refine your own spiritual power during your cultivation."
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected that this thunder seed would have such an effect, actually being able to refine one's own spiritual power.
"Good stuff," Luo Chen murmured.
"Chen'er, you have been living in this bamboo forest for twelve years, haven't you," the old man suddenly changed the subject.
Upon hearing this statement, Luo Chen was momentarily stunned, then nodded.
Yes, Luo Chen has been living in this bamboo forest for twelve years, and this year's Luo Chen is also exactly twelve years old, which means that Luo Chen has been in the bamboo forest since childhood and has never left.
"It's been twelve years, it's time to go out and about," the old man sighed.
"Grandpa, I don't understand," Luo Chen shook his head, looking a little confused.
"Hehe," the old man chuckled lightly, looking towards the bamboo forest.
This bamboo forest was the boundary he had set up, separating the inside from the outside. If anyone were to accidentally enter the bamboo forest, they would become lost within it.
So the people who go in never come out, and that's how the maze came to be.
"Don't you want to go see the outside world?" the old man murmured.
"The outside world?" Luo Chen looked utterly bewildered, knowing nothing about the outside world.
The old man shook his head slowly.
"Dust, you should focus on practicing the Thunder Demon Hand these days. Half a month later, I will take you to exit the forest."
"Dust doesn't want to go anywhere, he just wants to stay with Grandpa all the time," Luo Chen felt anxious.
"Silly child. Grandpa is getting old and can't always be by your side. This time, go out and gain some experience. Grandpa will still be here waiting for you to come back."
"But..."
"Sigh." The old man waved his hand, interrupting Luo Chen. "You go and practice first."
