Lin Fan kept triggering more and more pressure plates, summoning more bolts of heavenly thunder down to strike him until he finally reached the maximum number of bolts of lightning.
He had continued increasing the number of lightning bolts until it reached 99 bolts of lightning.
No matter how he looked, he couldn’t find a single pressure plate that would send down more.
Since he wasn’t able to find pressure plates that would give him more, his only option was…
Lin Fan went back to the very start of the room and started walking horizontally from one wall to the other wall, triggering every pressure plate that he could find. Then he would move forward a bit and then move horizontally again, triggering every pressure plate he came across.
As he walked forward, there were constant bolts of lightning that rained down on him.
If anyone could see him now, they would have been terrified.
After all, he was currently walking along in this rain of lightning bolts with a wide smile on his face.
But why wouldn’t he have a wide smile on his face?
As he went along, getting hit by these lightning bolts, he could feel the seed inside of his dantian getting stronger and stronger.
While it wasn’t at the point where it would mature yet, he could see that it was slowly growing in size.
As long as he was able to get more heavenly thunder for this seed, he was certain that the time when he would be able to control heavenly thunder wouldn’t be that far off.
He could already imagine it, him standing there with lightning at the tip of his hands.
He couldn’t help feeling excited about just how cool he would look like this.
But it was just too bad that he wasn’t able to mature the seed even after reaching the end of the hall.
It took him several hours before he was able to make it to the end. It might have gone even faster since he didn’t need to be afraid of the lightning traps, but he had taken it slow to make sure that he didn’t miss a single trap.
There were just the constant booms of lightning that fell down as he made his way through the room, but there wasn’t a single second where he stopped since the lightning no longer affected him no matter how much of it fell down.
He was just like a tank mowing his way through enemies, but the enemies in this case were the bolts of lightning.
When Lin Fan reached the end, he couldn’t help revealing a sad look.
When he first came into this room filled with these traps, he had been worried and cautious, but now that he was leaving it, he couldn’t help feeling sad and unwilling.
After all, this was a room that had given him so much and he would miss it once he was gone..
But the most important thing was that he wished there were more bolts of heavenly thunder here that would strike him…
It was just too bad that there were no more traps for him.
At the same time, the ancestor who was watching over him couldn’t help revealing a strange look as his lips twitched.
So Lin Fan had no choice but to exit the room and continue forward.
As soon as he went through the exit, the door immediately closed behind him and firmly shut him out.
He had stopped and turned around to push on the door to see if he could go back in an emergency, but he found that he couldn’t push it open no matter how he tried. It didn’t work even when he attacked it with his spiritual energy.
So it was clear that this was only a one way path.
Of course, he wasn’t surprised that the door was this firm because the person that had built this place was even able to manipulate heavenly thunder, so it wasn’t surprising that they were able to build doors that could resist his Foundation Realm powers.
So he had no choice but to continue down the path that had been provided for him.
This was a path that he couldn’t see the end of, but it was still brightly lit like every other place in this trial.
The good thing was that it wasn’t as long as the path that he took before to reach the first trial. He only had to walk around fifteen minutes before he reached the end of the path where there was another glowing exit waiting for him.
This time, he didn’t hesitate as he walked through the glowing exit, but of course he still had his guard up.
When Lin Fan came out, he was surprised by what he was.
That was because the scene in front of him didn’t seem like a trial at all…
Instead, it seemed like…a game show that he would see back on Earth.
There were several different doors that were placed in front of him and there were words written above each door. The words written represented the different realms of cultivation and there was a door for each of the realms, going from the Qi Gathering Realm to the Golden Core Realm.
At the very center of the room was a pedestal that had a crystal ball atop it and nothing else.
There was nothing else in this room at all.𝞸𝑽𝓁𝒩xt.𝗇𝓔t
Lin Fan carefully looked around to see if there were some instructions or some clues as to what he should do, but he found that there was nothing at all.
With no other choice, he made his way over to the pedestal in the center of the room.
When he reached the pedestal, the same voice as before finally spoke, “Place your hand atop the crystal and open the way forward.”
It was just these simple words, there were no other indications of what to do beyond that.
But Lin Fan didn’t follow the instructions of the voice right away.
The first thing that he did was try to see if he could find the source of that voice.
Even if he wasn’t able to find the person that spoke, he still wanted to see if he could find the speaker that they were speaking from. After all, the only thing that he felt was possible to make this kind of sound was definitely a speaker.
But no matter how he searched the corners of the room with his Appraisal Eyes, there were no notifications that popped out. If there was a speaker, it must be well hidden enough that even his Appraisal Eyes weren’t even able to pick them up.
What Lin Fan didn’t know was that this wasn’t actually a speaker, but rather an array that had been set up by the creator of the dungeon.
It was like a speaker, but instead it used a jade token that stored the voice and played it when the array was triggered, so it was similar to playback from a speaker.
When he finished looking over the room, Lin Fan still didn’t put his hand on the crystal just yet.
This time, he turned his attention to the different doors that were placed in front of him.
He tried pushing against them to see if he could open them, but he found that just like with the exit of the first trial, he wasn’t able to push them open no matter how hard he tried. Even when he tried using force, it was still impossible.
This time, he had even pulled out Gramr in an attempt to break through, but before he could swing it, Gramr trembled in his hand.
Lin Fan was surprised to see this, but he could tell from the sensation of Gramr that it felt that it was inferior to this door. It was as if Gramr was saying that it would break if it was used against this door.
Lin Fan had already seen how powerful Gramr was, so he was very surprised by this reaction from it.
But of course, he didn’t doubt Gramr and chose to put it away.
So with no other options, he finally turned his attention back to the crystal on the pedestal in the center.
He didn’t want to do it, but there really was nothing that he could do in this room other than follow the instructions of the voice. So with no other choices, he placed his hand on the crystal.
The moment that his hand made contact with the crystal, there was a bright flash of light that came from it before it suddenly faded.
Then in the space in front of the crystal, there was a small hole that opened before a little glowing ball popped out.
After the little glowing ball came out, it just laid there on the pedestal as if it was waiting to be picked up.
Lin Fan looked down at the little glowing ball with his Appraisal Eyes and found that it was a key.
As for what it opened…it was very clear as the words above the door suddenly lit up.
It was the door for the Foundation Realm.
At the same time, there was a little glowing groove that appeared in the middle of the door that was just like the groove on the sect doors that had been made for the Mark of the Hidden Dragon.
Even a fool would be able to understand the meaning behind this.
So Lin Fan picked up the little glowing ball and inserted it into the groove on the door.
The moment that it was inserted, there was a sudden loud sound before the door swung open in front of him, revealing a brightly lit corridor.
Lin Fan shook his head when he saw this, but he started heading down this corridor with his weapon drawn.
