Chapter 673: Clan Contribution List of the Lei Clan
"The Thousandfold Thunder Prison is about to open. All cultivators, stand ready."
A deep, resonant voice echoed through Lei Sacred City.
Every cultivator's expression grew solemn.
Many began whispering to one another.
"Where is the Thousandfold Thunder Prison?"
"Could it be beneath the martial arena?"
"Do we not need to make any preparations?"
Shen Mo, Lei Zizhen, and Shi Tianhao also stepped out from a pavilion, standing in the center of the arena.
Lei Zhonghe circulated his spiritual power and spoke in a loud, clear voice.
"Fellow cultivators, the Holy Dao treasure White Bone Yin Fiend Scripture, suppressed by my Lei Prison Clan, has suddenly gone berserk, causing the pressure within the Thousandfold Thunder Prison to surge."
"Now, my Lei Prison Clan requires you all to venture deep into the Thousandfold Thunder Prison and eradicate the Fiend Thunder Demon Seeds."
With a burst of spiritual power, Lei Zhonghe conjured an image of the Fiend Thunder Demon Seeds, projecting it high into the sky.
All cultivators could see them clearly.
"Fiend Thunder Demon Seeds? What are those?"
"Never seen them, never heard of them—are they something within the Thousandfold Thunder Prison?"
"Quiet, listen to the clan master."
All eyes lifted to Lei Zhonghe.
He continued, "The Fiend Thunder Demon Seeds may grow from the ground of the Thousandfold Thunder Prison like weeds."
"They may lurk as parasites within the bodies of demonic beasts."
"Or they may drift in the air, seeping through every opening."
Another murmur ran through the crowd.
From the sound of it, these Fiend Thunder Demon Seeds seemed extremely dangerous.
Could they really deal with them?
Predicting their reaction, Lei Zhonghe quickly added, "Though the Fiend Thunder Demon Seeds may be everywhere, their cores are extremely fragile."
"For a newly advanced Nirvana Realm cultivator, one casual strike is enough to destroy a seed."
"However, powerful creatures often guard the seeds—these creatures are the true obstacles you will face in destroying them."
Only then did the cultivators relax.
Those who came to Lei Sacred City were all at least at the strength of forty Dao Patterns.
Lei Zhonghe beckoned with one hand.
A massive golden list floated in midair.
It displayed an array of divine weapons, rare techniques, and martial arts.
When the cultivators saw the names clearly, their eyes widened.
Thunderclap Heaven Drum: High-grade Heaven-tier spiritual artifact. Dispels evil and suppresses demons, formidable in attack. Requires 1,000 clan contribution points.
Six-faced Lightning Sword: Supreme-grade Heaven-tier spiritual artifact. Can store six bolts of azure lightning for battle. Requires 1,500 clan contribution points.
Six Thousand Thunder Steps: Supreme-grade Heaven-tier movement technique. Harnesses lightning to accelerate, moving like thunder, chasing the stars and moon. Requires 1,500 clan contribution points.
Great Sun Golden Thunder Body: Supreme-grade Heaven-tier physical cultivation art. Tempers the body with thunder to forge an unrivaled physique. Requires 2,000 clan contribution points.
Thunder Dragon Lock: Low-grade Saint artifact. Forged from naturally formed thunder dragons, possessing immense control power. Requires 100,000 clan contribution points.
…
Item after item dazzled the eyes.
The cultivators couldn't help but swallow hard.
Good heavens!
These were all treasures the Lei Prison Clan normally kept secret.
To remove and destroy the Fiend Thunder Demon Seeds, they were even willing to bring out such things.
There were even Saint artifacts!
"Anyone who can find and destroy one Fiend Thunder Demon Seed will earn 1,000 clan contribution points."
"Anyone who can slay a Fiend Thunder Demon will receive 100,000 clan contribution points."
Lei Zhonghe spoke solemnly. "As for what each of you desires, you may exchange for it when the time comes."
The cultivators were instantly moved.
Just destroying a single Fiend Thunder Demon Seed would earn 1,000 points in the Lei Prison Clan—
Enough to exchange for at least a high-grade Heaven-tier spiritual artifact.
Work a little harder, and supreme-grade Heaven-tier artifacts, techniques, and martial skills would all be within reach!
Not every Nirvana Realm cultivator could be like Shen Mo, holding several Saint artifacts in hand and barely sparing a glance at even supreme-grade Heaven-tier spiritual artifacts.
Most cultivators toiled diligently all their lives and could only manage to accumulate one or two supreme-grade Heaven-tier artifacts at best.
Some might even resort to shady means—deception, robbery, or murder—to get their hands on such treasures.
Now, with an opportunity to obtain a supreme-grade Heaven-tier spiritual artifact right before them, how could they not be excited and overjoyed?
Even Nirvana Realm cultivators from top-tier powers like the Eastern Li Imperial Dynasty or the Creation Heaven Sect greatly coveted supreme-grade Heaven-tier spiritual artifacts.
Not everyone was a super prodigy like Lei Zizhen, Cao Qingwan, or Li Yunlong, enjoying a constant stream of resources.
For most, everything had to be fought for and earned with their own hands.
The Thunder Prison Clan was offering them an opportunity—an opportunity to rise.
Lei Zhonghe glanced around, seeing every cultivator brimming with eagerness, and finally nodded slightly.
Heavy rewards would always bring forth the brave.
To quickly root out the Fiend Thunder Demon Seeds and support those few Supremes, the Thunder Prison Clan had to bleed resources.
Painful as it was, it would all be worth it.
Lei Zhonghe spoke loudly, "All cultivators, stand upon the martial arena. The Thousandfold Thunder Prison will soon open!"
The cultivators took their positions.
Moments later, a cracking sound came from beneath the ground.
Then, the entire floor abruptly began to sink.
Buzz…
Shen Mo's brows lifted.
Only then did he realize that the massive martial arena of Lei Sacred City was actually an enormous lift.
The arena descended smoothly into the pitch-black depths below.
The cultivators held their breath.
Before long, faint glimmers of light began to appear ahead—like lightning dancing in the darkness.
Their spirits lifted.
They must be almost there!
After a long hour, the darkness ahead was completely replaced by the intense radiance of lightning.
Eyes widened as the cultivators gazed upon the vast, thunder-lit expanse before them.
This was the Thousandfold Thunder Prison.
It opened once every three thousand years.
There were those who had experienced it before, but they were rare.
Most of the Nirvana Realm cultivators present had never entered the Thousandfold Thunder Prison and had no idea what truly awaited within.
Naturally, there was a touch of fear toward the unknown.
With a rumbling boom, the arena came to a full stop.
Looking ahead, they saw an ancient stone archway towering before them.
The arch was enormous, clearly not built for humans—more likely designed to allow giant beasts to pass.
Shen Mo examined the surroundings.
He noticed that the light surrounding the outer edge of the Thousandfold Thunder Prison emanated from the archway itself.
At first glance, the arch looked plain, but it was most certainly a powerful suppressive Saint artifact.
It was this very structure that bound the raging power of the Thousandfold Thunder Prison within, allowing not a trace to escape.
The cultivators looked at one another.
They could guess that this archway was the only way into the Thousandfold Thunder Prison, but none wanted to be the first to step through.
After all, no one knew exactly what dangers awaited inside.
"Everyone, this archway is the gate into the Thousandfold Thunder Prison," Lei Chuan said, pointing at the stone structure.
"My Thunder Prison Clan's cultivators will go first!"
His shout rang out.
In the next moment, over a thousand Thunder Prison Clan cultivators responded in unison.
"Enter the Thunder Prison, save the clan!"
Lei Chuan was the first to charge through the archway.
Behind him, the Thunder Prison Clan's cultivators followed without hesitation, surging into the gate one after another.
