Why does cultivation cause such changes in this special area? And what special significance does this visualization hold? Will these changes be different from before?
...
All of a sudden, countless questions flooded into his mind.
Moreover...
One question remained unanswered from beginning to end——
How did the special area originate?
In the beginning, he had a guess; perhaps understanding the conjured visions could shed light on this question. After all, at that time, he believed the conjured visions were merely the materialization of the special area. Essentially, they were identical with no difference.
But now, it seems that was not the case.
The conjured visions had something to do with him. It wasn’t purely the materialization of the special area; it had become complex and not singular.
This made him realize that even if he understood the conjured visions, it wouldn’t necessarily explain how the special area was formed.
"You can’t gain weight with one bite."
Although Lin Beichen had many doubts, his broad mental realm kept him calm and unhurried.
He sorted out his chaotic thoughts, listed out the questions clearly one by one, and then began comparing this special area with the previous one in an attempt to find some answers through cross-comparison.
"Eh?"
After a moment, Lin Beichen suddenly remembered something. This area had never experienced Lightning Strikes before his arrival; it was only after he came here that the strikes began, and their frequency increased as he started cultivating.
He quickly recalled the scenes from the previous special area and realized that whether it was the previous special area or the current one, the situation was the same.
"During cultivation, the conjured visions gradually form."
"So..."
"Does the appearance of conjured visions attract lightning strikes?"
At this thought, Lin Beichen got excited. If he could understand how the special area formed, how cultivation influenced the conjured visions, and figure out everything, wouldn’t he be able to summon Celestial Thunder?
For a moment, he even envisioned the anticipated scene—him standing in the boundless land, with nothing in sight, surrounded by the roar of Celestial Thunder!
Just thinking about it made his blood boil.
"I must understand all these questions!"

Lin Beichen resolved, then he continued to study and ponder, constantly sensing this special area, comparing it with the previous special area, and doing everything he could think of.
It was unclear how much time had passed.
Suddenly!
A sudden realization struck Lin Beichen’s mind: Magnetic Field!
Doesn’t the change in the magnetic field cause changes in the electric current?
As he cultivated, the lightning strikes became more frequent...
Could it be that his cultivation changed the magnetic field of this special area?
Is this area special because of the magnetic field?
...
In that moment, he felt he was infinitely close to the answer, but looking at the surrounding conjured visions, the answer seemed infinitely far away.
"Using the magnetic field to explain it seems quite fitting."
"But the problem is..."
"This doesn’t resemble a magnetic field either."
"How could a magnetic field conjure visions of Qilin and Black Tortoise?"
Lin Beichen pondered carefully and then dismissed the magnetic field as the answer.
However, his sudden realization wasn’t entirely fruitless; at least he found a general direction for his thoughts.
"What exactly is the answer then?"
Lin Beichen fell into contemplation once again.
A minute passed...
Two minutes passed...
...
Time ticked away second by second.
Who knows how long had passed.
From his expression and body language, it was clear he was still at a loss, unable to solve any problems.
Lin Beichen felt that continuing this way would lead nowhere; he couldn’t think of anything, lacking any sudden realization.
"A tree moves when it dies; a person lives when they move!"
He decided to try his luck again and find another special area. Since he knew that the appearance of conjured visions would bring reactions, didn’t he learn this in a new special area?
Maybe he would have new enlightenment in another special area?
Lin Beichen decided not to cling here anymore. He stood up, took the Thunderstruck Wood, and left the special area to find a new special area.
After he left.
If he could see the conjured vision of Black Tortoise in the special area, he would notice that as he left, the conjured vision of Black Tortoise twisted and filled with a sense of tearing, just like the conjured vision of Qilin in the previous special area.
It seemed to collapse with his departure!
...
...
Deep within Wuling Mountain.
Torrential rain poured down, and thunder rumbled low.
Sun Chao’s voice emerged through the pattering rain: "Brother Zou, it’s right there."
His voice carried caution and a hint of fear.
Sun Chao pointed ahead, surrounded by Zou Huaide and a group of human traffickers, who followed his pointing finger to look ahead.
Through the waterfall-like rain, they could only see a pitch-black area—black trees, black ground, black pits, and nothing else.
"Where are the people?"
The human traffickers exchanged puzzled glances.
Zou Huaide frowned and looked at Sun Chao, puzzled: "Are you sure it’s here?"
"It’s here."
Sun Chao nodded confidently, shifted his finger slightly, and pointed to the pit on the ground, saying, "At that time, there was a black stump or a large stone at that pit, and Lin Beichen was sitting in front of it meditating. I couldn’t possibly be mistaken."
Seeing Sun Chao’s detailed description, Li Wangxin knew he wouldn’t be mistaken. He rolled his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Chao, didn’t that guy discover you?"
"Uh..."
Sun Chao recalled hesitantly, "Probably not."
"That doesn’t matter whether he discovered Chao."
Zou Huaide shook his head and said, "That guy hasn’t seen us. Even if he discovered, it wouldn’t matter; he doesn’t know who Chao is."
After finishing, he waved his hand, signaling to move forward: "Let’s go and see."
"Uh..."
Sun Chao still hesitated, unwilling to move forward. Seeing others looking at him, he tried to argue, "Lin Beichen is no longer here; he might have left already. Let’s just leave and go for now."
Upon hearing this, the human traffickers frowned collectively, dissatisfied with his suggestion. Right now, they were thinking about killing Lin Beichen to vent their anger and relieve recent pressure.
However, as the leader of the team, Zou Huaide thought more comprehensively.
Thinking that Chao’s point made sense but maybe the guy hadn’t left, he might just be nearby. It’s best to check the situation first. Such a revenge opportunity shouldn’t be given up without a look.
With this thought, he didn’t say anything and waved again, taking the lead forward, showing everyone with his actions——
Go and see!
The other traffickers eagerly followed, and seeing this, Sun Chao knew the decision was made, so he said nothing and silently followed.
Soon, the group reached the pit.
Before they could observe their surroundings.
The dazzling flashes in the sky caught their eyes, prompting them to look up at the sky.
"Boom——!!!"
"..."
Rolling thunder roared.
The heavy clouds were ink-black like a slow-stirred vortex, centered and trembling.
Lightning spread across the clouds, and arcs of electricity flickered, seemingly about to burst from accumulated lightning within.
"This..."
The traffickers felt an inexplicable pressure on their chest, making it hard to breathe, as if someone gripped their neck, making their body hair stand on end.
They stared blankly, their minds momentarily blank, thinking only: What kind of eerie weather is this?
The only one among them still thinking was Sun Chao.
Sun Chao was stunned for a moment but quickly regained his senses. Hearing the increasingly thunderous rumble and seeing the brightening clouds above, he realized something.
Because this scene was somewhat familiar...
Sun Chao’s eyes widened, filled with panic and fear. He instinctively moved, shouting loudly: "Run fast!!!!"
