Chapter 133: Thunderclap Valley
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Regarding Su Zimo’s matter, the five peak masters had a tacit understanding.
He had cultivated some sort of body tempering technique and it was an extremely terrifying one such that he had the power to defeat an early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator!
But of course, it could not be denied that Feng Haoyu’s foundation was unstable since he had just advanced to Foundation Establishment realm. Furthermore, he was unprepared.
Even though Su Zimo had won this fight, all five peak masters felt that the outcome would be indeterminate if they were to fight again.
Firstly, it was worth suspecting the origins of this body tempering technique.
Something so terrifying could very likely be a secret of some sect out there, similar to Ethereal Sword.
If that was the case, they would have to think about Su Zimo’s background and identity.
They simultaneously thought of someone.
Trial disciples of the sect were no stranger to the Thunderclap Valley as well.
Thunderclap Valley was a place between Ethereal Peak and the back mountains. The strange topography formed a mysterious valley where reverberating thunderclaps could be heard rumbling through the year.
It wasn’t a large place and it was barren.
Every rainy day, it would even bring forth countless thunderbolts.
Due to the thin presence of spirit qi alongside the endless thunderclaps, it was impossible for one to cultivate within.
Being sent to Thunderclap Valley was a punishment akin to being kicked out of the sect.
Suddenly, little fatty recalled something and mumbled to himself, “It’s over, it’s over! I already told bro that he should release little crane. This is bad. This big crane must be making use of this opportunity to punish bro!”
Naturally, little fatty knew that little crane was trapped in front of Su Zimo’s cave abode.
Some disciples also recalled that Su Zimo had once bullied little crane before he entered the sect. Now that the sect’s guardian had descended personally, they could not help but relate both matters.
“Hehe! That Su Zimo sure is unlucky! He had just gotten first place of four peaks. Before he can do anything, he’s already being thrown to Thunderclap Valley!” Some disciples in the crowd laughed.
“It should be fine. He’ll still be equally powerful when he returns.”
“Hmph, didn’t you pay attention to the main point of senior crane?” That person continued, “Senior crane mentioned an indefinite amount of time for him to reflect on himself! That means that Su Zimo will not be able to leave without senior crane’s permission!”
“It can’t be that ruthless, right?” Another disciple jumped in fright.
That person shrugged and said, “Even if that’s not the case, he won’t be able to cultivate within! If it locks him for a good ten years, we’ll all be Foundation Establishment Cultivators and inner sect disciples by the time he comes out. Even if he’s the number one of four peaks, so what? He’ll still be just a Level 9 Qi Refinement Warrior!”
Many disciples could not help but feel secretly alarmed when they heard that.
Su Zimo remained silent in the spirit arena.
In truth, he knew very well that the crane was not sending him to Thunderclap Valley as a punishment.
If it wanted to punish him, it could have done so long ago and without any reason in fact. Why wait till now?
Besides, Su Zimo had a vague feeling.
The crane was doing this to save him!
If it had not appeared, he would either be maimed of his cultivation, kicked out of the sect or killed on the spot!
However, there was something that puzzled Su Zimo as well.
If the crane merely wanted to save him, why send him to Thunderclap Valley?
Why was it doing this?
