After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person-Chapter 538: Lightning Mechanism

"Sect Leader Chen," sneered Tuoba Qingshan, "no wonder you dared to intrude upon our Divine Eagle Sect’s territory alone. After all this commotion, turns out you’re a supernatural being! But do you really think that with those powers you can act unbridled here?"

Clenching his teeth, Tuoba Qingfeng’s hand now held a fire-red bead from which a crackling sound continuously emitted.

It seemed that the lightning Chen Yu had released a moment ago had been absorbed by this bead.

"Elder Tuoba, you don’t really think a mere bead can keep me trapped here, do you?"

The atmosphere between the two grew tense instantly, and their eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Just as they were about to clash, a figure suddenly rushed in from the entrance.

"Second Elder, our leader commands a meeting with Sect Leader Chen!"

Tuoba Qingfeng frowned involuntarily.

For years, conflicts between the Xuanqing Sect and the Divine Eagle Sect had been relentless, escalating to a life-and-death situation.

Every so often, the Divine Eagle Sect would send a group to stir trouble within the Xuanqing Sect.

In response, the Xuanqing Sect would dispatch people, aiming to annihilate the Divine Eagle Sect.

Now, the leader of the Divine Eagle Sect actually wanted to meet with the Sect Leader of Xuanqing Sect, an unprecedented event.

"Are you certain of these orders?" Tuoba Qingfeng, full of disbelief, grabbed the messenger’s shoulder and shook him.

The young messenger, startled, quickly pulled out a blood-red token from his person.

"This is a direct command from the Holy Master. I would never dare to relay false information."

Chen Yu, too, was taken aback, but the command played right into his hands.

"If that’s the case, then I’m eager to see what manner of existence the Holy Master of the Divine Eagle Sect truly is."

Unable to say much, Tuoba Qingfeng could only lead Chen Yu out of the shop personally.

Within the Divine Eagle Sect, there were in total three such underground fortresses, each surrounding the main altar from three different directions, nestled between extremely narrow mountain ravines.

This layout appeared very secretive; it was impossible to pinpoint the main altar’s location, whether from the sky or any other angle.

Following Tuoba Qingfeng, Chen Yu took a mountain cable car and quickly arrived at a plaza on the mountaintop.

Several elders in black Daoist robes sat in a neat circle at the center of the plaza.

The elder in the middle looked emaciated, his body so thin and withered that he hardly looked human, with his skin so crinkled and terrifying to behold.

Chen Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly as he immediately released his system to scan the brains of these people, but unexpectedly, an extremely strong magnetic field forcibly blocked the system.

"Such youth! Who would have imagined Xuanqing Sect would be able to elect such an exemplary Sect Leader. Give you a few decades, and I fear the Divine Eagle Sect would cease to exist," said the elder in the middle as he slowly stood up, his voice ominous as though emerging from the depths of hell.

When he opened his eyes, a deep blue light suddenly spread out, even causing Chen Yu to unconsciously feel dazzled for a moment.

"You must be the leader of the Divine Eagle Sect, Tuoba Qingshan, the senior," said Chen Yu.

The old man nodded, taking out a sapphire blue bead.

"Let’s go inside to talk," he said.

The elder made a welcoming gesture, then threw the bead onto the ground. A brilliant azure light instantly covered the entire plaza.

Chen Yu only felt a very strong magnetic field spreading out, swiftly penetrating his body, as if attempting to scan all his information.

Fortunately, the system had already set up a layer of protection around him in advance.

Tuoba Qingshan was clearly stunned for a moment, but he quickly concealed the surprise on his face and led Chen Yu into the great hall.

"Speaking of which, the Divine Eagle Sect was once a member of the Taoist community as well! It’s just that due to different ideologies, we eventually parted ways, in reality, there’s no need for our two sides to have escalated to this point."

As Tuoba Qingshan spoke, his tone seemed laden with profound meaning, resembling a sage.

However, Chen Yu could clearly detect murderous intent in his tone!

"I also think it’s unnecessary, so why doesn’t the elder simply declare that from now on the Divine Eagle Sect will be completely integrated into the Taoist community? Then there really would be no enmity between us! I could even ask the elder for some pointers on the ways to extend one’s life span."

Tuoba Qingshan’s body visibly trembled for a moment, forcing out a smile with great effort.

"This is the most sacred place of the Divine Eagle Sect. As long as one sits in that position, one can undergo a baptism and truly comprehend the Tao."

Chen Yu glanced subconsciously at the high platform in the middle of the great hall.

On the surface, it looked like an ordinary meditation spot, but hidden within was a massive Lightning Attraction System.

This place was already located atop a high mountain, surrounded by clouds everywhere; thunder and lightning were common occurrences.

Installing a Lightning Attraction System here, in conjunction with the nearby devices, could attract and gather thunder and lightning, forming an extremely powerful force.

Anyone who sat there would be affected by the thunder and lightning. If the intensity was low, it might even strengthen the body, but if the strength was turned to the maximum, one could be instantly reduced to ashes by the electric strike.

Tuoba Qingshan’s eyes rolled a few times before he took Chen Yu by the arm and brought him to the high platform.

"You are the Sect Leader of Xuanqing Sect, you should know how important comprehending the Tao is to a Taoist! Today I will give you a chance. As long as you comprehend the Tao here, you will surely become the helmsman of the entire Taoist community upon your return."

Chen Yu almost wanted to laugh; this cunning old fox merely wanted to trick him onto the platform and then kill him with the power of lightning.

Just as he was thinking of a reason to rebut, suddenly the system’s prompt sounded in his mind.

Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, as the device before him seemed more like an execution ground.

According to his analysis, the electricity that could be brought down in one go would be enough to blast him to pieces within two minutes.

However, since the system had made its judgment, there was no need for him to hesitate.

"The elder is too kind. My mission here was to annihilate the Divine Eagle Sect, and not only do you not blame me, but you’re also so generous to let me use such a treasure! I don’t know how to thank you, elder."

Excitement appeared in Tuoba Qingfeng’s eyes.

"I’ve already said, we originally came from the same school, there’s no need for formalities. Go on up quickly, and I’ll start the device for you!"

Chen Yu didn’t say anything more and directly sat on the high platform.

"Big brother, don’t go up there, they’re deceiving you!"

Little Pure hurriedly approached, trying to pull Chen Yu down.

"It’s okay, Little Pure, wait for me outside obediently, big brother will be fine!"

"Don’t worry, little girl, it will be fine!" Tuoba Qingshan grabbed Little Pure’s shoulder, gestured to two guys outside the door, and had them take Little Pure away.

Then, he fumbled on the wall beside him for a while, quickly activating the mechanism.
