"Does every immortal realm have it?"
"Otherwise, out of tens of thousands of immortal realms, only one has a lightning zone."
Xiao Wenbing was taken aback and asked, "Only one minefield per wheel surface?"
"Exactly."
Xiao Wenbing turned his head and asked suspiciously, "Great Serpent, don't tell me this is yet another new Immortal Realm."
The Great Serpent Supreme smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Immortal Xiao is right. We have not only left Huangzhou City, but have also arrived in another immortal realm."
He took a deep breath. A sense of awe and respect for the Great Serpent Supreme grew within him. To traverse the Immortal Realm, and with several burdens at that, was something the Great Serpent Supreme had accomplished with such ease.
“This Celestial Realm is the only place in our plane that has a lightning zone. If you want to go to other planes, this is the only way.” The serpent suddenly sighed, “If it weren’t so close to the lightning zone, I could actually teleport you here directly.”
The Seven-Colored Winged King naturally sensed the astonishment of the crowd and immediately sneered, saying, "Great Serpent, now that we've reached the Thunder Zone, do you need my help to bring people along?"
The Great Serpent Supreme blushed. Its teleportation technique was utterly insignificant compared to the Seven-Colored Winged King's. It quickly changed the subject, saying, "Although I possess the power of heavenly lightning, I am only capable of protecting five people. The remaining one will be in your care, Seven-Colored King."
The Seven-Colored Winged King did not refuse, it seemed she had been prepared. With a flick of her wrist, a seven-colored light shone forth, forming an indestructible protective shield around her, and she coldly said, "Give me one."
"Thank you, Seven-Colored Supreme, but we still have the ability to protect ourselves in the lightning zone." Xiao Wenbing immediately declined. They were not very familiar with this giant bird spirit, and they were indeed a little worried about entrusting their lives to her.
The Seven-Colored Winged King gave him a sinister look, a flash of anger in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "You don't know what's good for you."
Having said that, he had already entered the valley.
The Great Serpent Supreme frowned deeply and complained, "Fellow Immortal Xiao, you've offended the Seven Colors; how are you going to get out of here?"
Xiao Wenbing pointed at Feng Baiyi and laughed, "When it comes to the ability to manipulate lightning, who can compare to your master?"
The Great Serpent Supreme smiled wryly, "To use the power of lightning to traverse the Wheel Surface, it would take at least three months. Master, you only possess the cultivation of the Integration Realm. I'm afraid..."
A glint flashed in Feng Baiyi's eyes as she said, "Your task is to lead the way; you don't need to worry about anything else."
The Great Serpent was taken aback. Faced with its master's command, even if it was a hundred times more worried, it had no choice but to obey.
Volume 20, Chapter 9: Horrifying Minefield (Part 2)
------------------------
The master is indeed brilliant; the little snake is extremely impressed.
Amidst the thunder and lightning, the Great Serpent Supreme spoke with heartfelt admiration.
Although the giant snake still had some doubts about Feng Baiyi's abilities outside the minefield, those doubts were long forgotten once it entered the minefield.
Phoenix White Robe's Earth Thunder Shield is different from Seven-Colored Wing King's Earth Shield. Although it cannot compare in terms of energy intensity, it has a unique use amidst the lightning that fills the sky and earth.
The Seven-Colored Winged King transformed her own celestial power into a protective shield, and each impact of the lightning consumed a portion of her energy.
As they ventured deeper into the lightning-filled area, the intensity of the lightning strikes gradually increased. At this point, the Seven-Colored Winged King, leading the way, needed to constantly reinforce his protective shield, fearing that a single misstep would result in being struck by lightning and dying instantly.
However, Feng Baiyi's protective shield was different. Although it seemed to tremble a few times due to insufficient strength the moment she entered, nearly causing the Great Serpent Supreme to be annihilated, this strange energy shield performed remarkably well.
Each bolt of lightning that struck the protective shield did not weaken it in the slightest; instead, it seemed to reinforce the shield, making it even stronger. In the end, no matter how powerful the lightning was, the group remained as stable as a mountain, completely safe from danger.
Only then did the Great Serpent Supreme realize his inferiority, and flattery poured forth towards Feng Baiyi like a surging river. His shamelessness even made Xiao Wenbing feel ashamed.
Furthermore, the Seven-Colored Winged King in front of him also noticed this, and his movements gradually slowed down. Looking at the incredibly sturdy protective shield behind him, he unabashedly revealed a look of envy.
"White Robe, can you bring her in?" Xiao Wenbing interrupted the Great Serpent Supreme's rambling and asked.
Although Xiao Wenbing knew Feng Baiyi's abilities, the minefield here was clearly much more dangerous than the minefield storms in the cultivation world, so he wasn't sure if Feng Baiyi could control it freely.
Nodding slightly, Feng Baiyi reached out and summoned the irregular, leaping lightning around them. It seemed as if the lightning possessed a spirit, suddenly striking towards the front of the Seven-Colored Winged King.
The Seven-Colored Winged King, who was advancing, was startled and quickly dodged. However, no matter how her figure changed, the lightning, flashing like silver snakes, seemed to know her movements in advance, constantly passing by her. This forced her to cautiously retreat backward.
The powerful immortal energy had been gathered to its peak, but even the Seven-Colored Winged King was helpless against this insurmountable enemy.
Suddenly, it seemed as if they had entered a strange space, and all the lightning in front of them disappeared.
The Seven-Colored Winged King was slightly taken aback, sensing several familiar auras. She turned her head and saw that she had somehow flown into Feng Baiyi's protective shield. What alarmed her even more was that Feng Baiyi's protective shield was now several times larger than when she had entered. It could easily protect a mere seven people, even if it were ten times larger.
In a flash, the Seven-Colored Winged King understood what had just happened. Her gaze fixed on Feng Baiyi; only this woman could make lightning behave so strangely.
A gentle aura emanated from the earth, and the Great Serpent Supreme said nervously, "Seven Colors, don't misunderstand, we mean no harm, quickly withdraw the aura shield."
The Seven-Colored Winged King hesitated for a moment, and the seven-colored light shield surrounding him gradually faded, seeping into her body bit by bit.
The Great Serpent Supreme looked at Xiao Wenbing with frustration. This was a minefield! Although they were Supremes, they always entered with utmost caution, never daring to be negligent in the slightest.
But this guy actually came up with this terrible idea, forcing another Supreme Being into his own protective shield in the minefield. Such an action can only be described as courting death.
What made him even more ashamed was that his new master, whether out of excessive confidence or ignorance, actually listened to his every word and did exactly as he was told.
If the Seven-Colored Winged King hadn't considered the bigger picture, or perhaps been afraid of death and therefore dared not challenge them here, then the only outcome now would be mutual destruction. In the entire minefield, it's highly likely that only the master and he himself would survive in the end.
“Fellow Daoist Xiao, why do you do this? If you have something to discuss with Seven Colors, you could have informed me first.” The Great Serpent Supreme said with a bitter face.
"Why would I need to inform you?" Xiao Wenbing said disdainfully. "The Seven-Colored Supreme is right here. Asking you to relay the message would be like taking off your pants to fart, completely unnecessary."
The Great Serpent Supreme's eyes twitched, and he said, "Fellow Immortal Xiao, do you know how dangerous your actions just now were?"
“It’s not dangerous.” Xiao Wenbing smiled calmly, glancing at Zhang Yaqi beside him. The latter raised her right wrist, reaching out to brush her bangs away from her forehead, making her appear even more charming and alluring.
However, the Great Serpent Supreme's eyes were fixed on the Qiankun Ring on Zhang Yaqi's fair wrist, and he immediately realized something. Even if Feng Baiyi failed, this treasure would still be there to protect her.
If the Seven-Colored Winged King truly rebels, then nine times out of ten she will be the one to meet the King of Hell. Xiao Wenbing's actions show complete confidence and fearlessness.
“Seven-Colored Supreme, it must be too tiring for you to hold up the protective barrier all by yourself. Why don’t we all stay together and look after each other?” Xiao Wenbing said with a smile.
"Okay." The Seven-Colored Winged King responded faintly and then fell silent.
A supreme being who was used to commanding the wind and rain and wielding power would naturally not be happy to suffer a silent loss in the thundercloud storm. However, the Seven-Colored Winged King was clearly a pragmatic celestial bird, at least on the surface, it did not show the slightest dissatisfaction.
However, this supreme being was far from at peace.
She could naturally see how skilled Feng Baiyi was at manipulating lightning. If they were to fight to the death in this place, even if she had reached the limit of immortality, she might not be able to win.
Such power! If only he could master this power, the Seven-Colored Winged King's heart would flutter with excitement.
Looking at the increasingly dense thunderclouds and storm around them, Xiao Wenbing asked casually, "Has the Supreme One ever been to the Linglong Immortal Realm before?"
"yes."
"Hehe, the junior invited Your Excellency here because there are a few things I would like to ask you."
"Go ahead and ask."
Xiao Wenbing thanked him with a smile, then opened his bright eyes and asked seriously, "Is it big there?"
The Great Serpent Supreme and the Seven-Colored Winged King were both stunned. After risking so much danger in the minefield to do this, they were only going to ask such a pointless question. For a moment, a surge of urge to beat the person in front of them welled up within them.
However, those who know what's good for them are wise, and both emperors held back.
The Seven-Colored Winged King twitched his beautiful lips and said coldly, "Very large."
"How does it compare to our Earthly Immortal Realm?"
"There is plenty of land."
"Oh, then please tell us about the place names and historical sites there."
Suppressing his dissatisfaction, the Seven-Colored Winged King still casually uttered a few words.
However, Xiao Wenbing was clearly not satisfied. He kept talking to the Seven-Colored Wing King in bits and pieces, and the topic always revolved around the Linglong Immortal Realm.
After a long while, and until he could no longer get any more information out of the Seven-Colored Wing King, Xiao Wenbing finally stopped.
Under Feng Baiyi's protection, the group safely arrived at the center of the lightning strike, where the power of the lightning far surpassed that of the outer areas. Powerful lightning bolts and thunderbolts danced and swirled within sight, their overwhelming force enough to terrify anyone.
"This is the place." Xiao Wenbing looked at the lightning and thunder around him and felt a little uneasy. He said, "If you want to use the power of lightning, then the lightning power here is the greatest."
The Great Serpent Supreme was taken aback and asked, "You brought us here just so we could borrow your power?"
"Yes, otherwise, why would I come to such a dangerous place if I had nothing better to do?"
A blush crossed the face of the Great Serpent Supreme, and he said, "Fellow Immortal Xiao, we only need to reach half the depth of the thunder zone. Here, no one dares to cast spells."
"Ah, why didn't you say so earlier?" Xiao Wenbing complained, and quickly instructed Feng Baiyi to manipulate the Heavenly Thunder Barrier to retreat.
The Great Serpent Supreme and the Seven-Colored Winged King shook their heads simultaneously. "You won't tell us yourself, you're just blindfolded and moving forward. Do you expect us to ask you where you're going?"
After retreating for a moment, the Seven-Colored Winged King suddenly spoke up: "This is enough. If we go any further, I'm afraid we won't have enough strength."
As promised, Feng Baiyi stopped. With a wave of her slender hand, the Seven-Colored Winged King produced a small, exquisite star disk and a strangely crafted token in her fair hand.
Xiao Wenbing and the others all focused their gazes on the token. Feng Baiyi and the other two women even recognized that this thing was somewhat similar to the strange ring that Xiao Wenbing had taken out in the Flame Realm Holy Temple.
As expected, the Seven-Colored Winged King threw the jade tablet in his hand outside the protective shield.
Moments later, the surrounding lightning bolts seemed to be drawn by a strange energy, swarming towards the token.
A white-purple light gradually appeared on the token, and as the energy gathered, the light on the token became more intense and dazzling.
"boom……"
With a soft sound, the entire token vanished, and at the same time, extremely powerful and violent energy surged into the star chart through the token.
The small star disk began to spin, emitting the mysterious light inherent to the Seven-Colored Winged King.
Suddenly, a completely different power appeared within the lightning, and the space burst forth with brilliant light once again.
As the light faded, Xiao Wenbing and the others had disappeared from their original spot, and a round, unusual space had appeared in the thundercloud storm.
Volume 20, Chapter 10: Horrifying Experience in the Minefield (Part 2)
------------------------
It was pitch black; not a single ray of light could exist here.
