With the endless dark sky and lightning strikes falling down like hail, the sound of rain on Heavenly Lightning Planet was muffled by the sheer density of thunderclaps.
Li Mo threw God Prison into the sky, turning it into a lightning rod as it was struck every second.
Yan Wenjing paled. With how the lighting varied from a foot to a hundred meters in thickness, it was shocking to see the magic item still in one piece.
“No need to worry. My God Prison is made of seven hundred rare ingredients. For it to stand on the same level as an imperial item, the lightning bath is only the first step.
“While the lightning had yet to finish refining the God Prison, you’ll be safe.”
“Does the lightning on this planet ever stop?”
“Never. Heavenly Lightning Planet earned its name for this precise reason.”
Crack~
Under the thousands of lightning strikes, the God Prison crumbled many times, but Li Mo was there to put it back together with true qi.
As God Prison was bombarded, Li Mo seemed to shudder in sync with it.
“Are you refining a personal magic weapon?” Yan Wenjing was shocked.
Li Mo nodded.
A personal magic weapon implied mixing one’s soul trace into the magic weapon. This would not only give it spirituality, but also increase its quality by a level.
But that didn’t mean when a personal magic weapon got damaged, the owner would receive damage as well, only some sympathy. Even if it were destroyed, the owner would be safe and sound.
“Zhou Mengxian once said refining a personal magic weapon is the highest level of refining but the skills to do it are lost.”
“Humans aren’t limited to Earth in the universe.”
Yan Wenjing gasped.
After some hesitation, she looked at her dagger, wanting to refine it as well after seeing Li Mo do it.
Ka~
Yan Wenjing just threw it and was crushed by lightning in a blink.
“Blood Steel. Quite nice, thanks.”
Li Mo flicked his hand and melded the dagger fragments into the God Prison with the Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art.
“Such dreadful lightning…”
“This lightning is a thousand times stronger than the one on Earth and the second strongest in the world.”
Yan Wenjing asked, “Which is the first?”
“Chaos lightning, the most intricate there is. If it strikes, even a God Emperor would be heavily wounded.”
“What’s a God Emperor…”
Yan Wenjing lacked much of the knowledge Li Mo had. She had no clue of the world beyond the fifth level.
Li Mo was quite patient, explaining to her the difference in levels.
Crack~
The lightning hammering God Prison didn’t stop for a second.
Week after week passed, and only on the 49th day the God Prison stopped attracting lightning.
Li Mo used another hundred empty jade talismans to store lightning.
He also was quick enough to get a fix on the coordinates for the next Transfer before the lightning zoomed in on them.
Whoosh~
Yan Wenjing looked to be standing in the middle of a village.
People in ancient garb roamed the street, with even the building had an ancient vibe to it. As if they were in ancient China.
Yan Wenjing was stunned, “Where are we?”
“Imperial Planet.”
“What’s that?”
“A planet filled with strong people. Since its birth, this planet had birthed as many as 33 God Emperors.”
Yan Wenjing’s eyes threatened to come out of their sockets.
Yan Wenjing just found out what a grueling task was to get to God Emperor Stage, but for a planet to birth so many, it was beyond her comprehension.
“This planet has no ruler, with every race governing an area. The humans and demons occupy the entire East side, while the other four areas were split between Fire race, Water race, Earth race, and Wood race.
“Imperial Planet is a thousand times larger than Earth. So even if it is split in five domains, each one of them is hard to grasp from how large it is.
“Even if I were a tenth level and expert in Warp, I would need decades to make a round trip around the planet.”
“You look mighty fine, girl. What clan are you from?”
A pig-headed humanoid, the spitting image of Pigsy from Journey to the West, was drooling at Yan Wenjing.
She didn’t know how to respond so Li Mo did it for her, “She is a lady from the Dongfang clan.”
The pig man left.
“What does that mean?”
Yan Wenjing wasn’t being noisy, just that she had no knowledge of Imperial Planet. She was completely ignorant.
“Demons and humans jointly occupy the East side. They seem to peaceful coexist on the surface when the reality isn’t so perfect, but they make sure to appear like this to everyone else.
“The three strongest royal families belonging to humans are the Dongfang clan in control of the Han Kingdom. Nangong clan in control of the Crescent Empire, and the Ming clan in control of the Rising Sun Empire.
“The place we are right now is between these three kingdoms. Here, only the three strongest clans can guarantee your safety.
“If I hadn’t told that pig demon you are from the Dongfang clan, he would’ve violated you. The pig demons are lustful creatures. Think of Pigsy in Journey from the West and you’ll get it.”
A bolt of fear ran through Yan Wenjing.
“As the humans have three nations, so do the demons. The Golden Lion King’s, Silver Flood Dragon King’s, and Peacock King’s…”
While Li Mo was catching Yan Wenjing up to the ins and out of this planet, the pig demon came back, this time with reinforcements in the form of a bird headed humanoid with wings on his back.
The bird-head asked eerily, “You’re a lady from Dongfang clan?”
“Yes.”
“Tell me then, who’s the strongest among the Dongfang clan’s young generation?”
“Dongfang Bai.” Li Mo transmitted to her.
Yan Wenjing spoke the answer and the bird-head guy glanced at the pig-head before leaving together.
Yan Wenjing wiped her brow, “Why are these demons so keen on me…”
“Your Inborn Physique is the best for dual cultivation.”
“Daddy, how do we hide my special constitution?”
“It’s hard. My rudimentary understanding of Heaven and Earth Inverse is easy for me to wear a disguise, but hard to use it on you.”
“Then what are we doing here? Are we going to stay here?”
“We didn’t come to stay, but to dig up a tomb.”
“Where’s at?”
“West of here.”
“Let’s go then.” Yan Wenjing urged. The two demons had her running scared.
They just got out of the village when they were accosted by the bird-head and pig-head demons, again.
“You’re no lady from Dongfang clan. You don’t have the smell of their exceptional bodies!” The pig squealed.
