Su Yun was still searching for prey.
"That guy was at the peak of the Spiritual Leader Realm!" Su Yun was secretly shocked. Not long ago, Su Yun had sensed a powerful aura. That aura had definitely belonged to someone at the peak of the Spiritual Leader Realm.
Su Yun made a prompt decision and changed direction.
The training field was a dog-eat-dog place where the strong preyed on the weak. Su Yun didn't believe that the guy hadn't noticed him. If they ran into each other, there would be a tough fight, and the result would be …
"28,000 …" The next day was almost over. The harvest was much less than Su Yun had expected.
"The training field is still too big. The chances of running into someone are too small." Su Yun sighed.
"Su Yun, there's something you might be interested in." A voice rang out in Su Yun's head.
It was Yixie.
"You're still alive!" Su Yun mumbled.
"What is it?" Su Yun asked.
"Lei Zhu. It's used to refine the body. It should be useful for you," said Yixie.
"Refine the body?" Su Yun remembered that he had an earth spirit. That was a treasure for refining the body.
"You want that? You won't be able to touch the earth spirit for the time being. "Yixie saw through Su Yun right away.
Su Yun could clearly sense a hint of resentment. It must be because of the stalactite crystal. Since it had to contain the earth spirit, Yixie couldn't touch it for the time being.
"Before reaching the Spiritual Grandmaster Realm, you'll need to have a foundation in refining the body. You can start preparing now," said Yixie.
"Alright, let's go have a look," said Su Yun. "I'm afraid that place will be quite lively."
After all, any cultivator at the Spiritual Leader Realm would be tempted by it.
…
"How far is it?" It was already late, but Su Yun did not sense any Lei Zhu's aura.
"Rest for a night. You've already been targeted," Yixie said calmly.
"I've done too many bad things recently. It's normal to be targeted," Su Yun said indifferently.
Counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir. If he really couldn't resist, then what harm was there in withdrawing from the training grounds? Of course, he was completely confident that he could solve it.
"It's somewhat troublesome." Yixie said, "If you don't teleport out tonight, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to leave tomorrow."
Hearing this, Su Yun looked at him seriously. "Aren't they the people I robbed?" In his eyes, even if those people he had robbed gathered together, they would not be able to force him to such a state.
"It's them, but they're just pawns. The biggest threat is the people behind them," Yixie said.
"Could it be … Shaochengtian!" Su Yun thought of a possibility. "How did he find me in such a big training ground in just two days?"
"However, since he's here, all the more I can't leave. If I don't play with him properly, I'll be letting him down." Su Yun smiled slightly and set up the formation again, preparing to cultivate here for the night.
"With my current strength, it doesn't seem like it's enough to fight him head on." Su Yun sat down cross-legged. "Yixie, is the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast that condensed the Lei Zhu really that powerful?"
"The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast is a mutated Sacred Beast. The reason why it's called a Sacred Beast is because it has the potential to become a Sacred Beast." Yixie said, "From what I can sense, it should only be at the fifth level. This time, it condensed the Lei Zhu in preparation for its advancement. Its strength … I'm afraid that even a normal sixth level spirit beast would have to avoid it. "
"It's that powerful …" Su Yun's gaze was a little strange. He continued, "Then what would happen if the Lei Zhu that it spent so much effort to condense fell into someone else's hands?"
"You mean … to kill with a borrowed knife!" Yixie said knowingly.
"Let's act according to the circumstances tomorrow." Su Yun slowly closed his eyes.
… …
"Let's stop here for today. Lin Yuan's night is full of danger. Everyone should rest here." Shaochengtian said.
"We've been following him all this way. He shouldn't be far away." A youth at the late stage of the Spiritual Leader Realm beside Shaochengtian said.
"Do you know where he's heading?" Shaochengtian asked in a low voice.
The youth took out a hand-drawn map. After looking at it for a moment, his expression suddenly froze. "There's still half a day's journey to the Divine Thunder Mountain!"
The youth closed the map in his hands. "Is he going to …"
"What an arrogant brat." Shaochengtian snickered. News of what was there had spread throughout the battleground area two months ago, but no one had dared to do anything about it. It was ironic that a new student had the audacity to venture into the tiger's den.
"If he's really going there … we …" The youth looked a little uneasy. Almost everyone who had been to the training field had heard of the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast.
"If he's brave enough to go, why wouldn't we?" Shaochengtian narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice.
"If we can get one or two Lei Zhu …" Shaochengtian raised his voice so that everyone present could hear him.
Lei Zhu! Every Spiritual Leader Realm cultivator knew what Lei Zhu meant. With it, they would have a better chance of reaching the Spiritual Grandmaster Realm!
For the fat guy who had practiced body-tempering techniques, the temptation was enough to make him take the risk.
"We've been cultivating at Aoran College for a year or two, but now we've been robbed by a new student. This is such a humiliation. How can we face our brothers if we don't wash this away?" The fat guy said heroically, "Brother Shaochengtian, I'm willing to go with you to catch that Su Yun!"
"So are we!" The others chimed in.
Although they knew that Shaochengtian was up to no good, they were all willing to take the risk.
"Alright! Have a good rest tonight, then. Tomorrow, we'll go to Thunder God Peak together to catch Su Yun! "Shaochengtian said loudly with a smile.
Thunder God Peak. Because of this speculation, Shaochengtian had already drawn up an itinerary for Su Yun.
…
The sky was hazy and the sun hadn't risen yet, but the nocturnal spiritual beasts had all disappeared without a trace.
"Let's go. According to the map, we should be four hours away from Thunder God Peak." Su Yun put away the spiritual formation and unfolded himself.
The closer he got, the fewer spiritual beasts he could see, and the weaker they were.
"It seems that this area is the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast's territory." Su Yun's expression was grave. There were no other fifth-grade spiritual beasts here.
Su Yun advanced cautiously. Spiritual beasts that had just gained intelligence had a strong sense of territory. If it sensed a stronger aura invading its territory, it would probably expel it immediately.
If he wasn't careful, he would be killed by the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast before he could even get close to Thunder God Peak. There was no need to talk about Lei Zhu at all.
After advancing slowly like this for about an hour, Su Yun finally saw a towering mountain peak.
Clouds and mist swirled around the peak, and lightning flashed occasionally.
"Is this the Thunder God Peak? It's not a bad place to refine one's body with lightning. "Su Yun muttered.
"Is there something wrong with your head? How can ordinary people withstand heavenly lightning that doesn't belong to the five elements? " Yixie said with a strange voice, "The so-called lightning that those weaklings cultivate is only a combination of the five elements. Its power is not even one ten-thousandth of the natural lightning here."
Hearing this, Su Yun's expression was resentful. "I'm just saying."
Su Yun raised his head and looked for a long time. Only in this kind of place could a spiritual beast mutate and condense a Lei Zhu.
"Yixie, can you suppress your aura?" Su Yun confirmed one last time.
"No problem. As long as you don't make it too obvious, it definitely won't discover you." Yixie said confidently.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained!" Su Yun's expression was firm. His figure flashed toward the Thunder God Peak.
Lightning flashed on the peak of the Thunder God Peak. Su Yun walked through the forest in a low-key manner, heading toward the mountainside.
There was a huge cave entrance there. It should be the entrance to the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast's cave.
After spending a full fifteen minutes, Su Yun arrived at the entrance of the cave.
"What a shocking aura!" Feeling the fierce aura coming from the cave entrance, Su Yun couldn't help but sigh. He became even more careful.
After tidying up his black robe, Su Yun no longer hesitated and walked into the cave.
"Roar …" A resounding sound, like the roar of a dragon or a tiger, shook away a layer of clouds in the sky.
Su Yun was startled. He quickly hid and secretly paid attention to the outside.
Could it be that he was discovered?! Su Yun tried his best to remain calm. He thought to himself, "I won't die before achieving victory, right?"
The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast leaped from the peak and pushed aside a layer of clouds. Its huge and mighty figure carried a domineering aura. It floated in the sky with lightning rolling around its body. It let out a threatening roar at a place a hundred miles away.
Su Yun hid in the cave entrance and quietly observed the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast that suddenly went berserk.
This spiritual beast was like a tiger. It was purple-gold in color and had four wings. Its tail was like a whip. Lightning surrounded its body. It was majestic. Su Yun was secretly startled.
"As expected of someone with the potential to become a Sage. It's really extraordinary." Su Yun sighed as he felt the extraordinary aura.
The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast stayed in the sky for a long time. It seemed to be angry. However, it didn't want to leave the Divine Thunder Mountain. It could only let out a low roar.
"It seems that it hasn't discovered me. Behind me … Could it be that they have already caught up?" Su Yun was secretly delighted. He naturally wouldn't naively believe that those fellows were only here for him. Perhaps, the Lightning Pearl was the greatest temptation of all.
The more lively it was, the easier it was for things to get chaotic. And the more chaotic it was, the easier it would be for him to fish in troubled waters!
"Thank you for buying time for me." Su Yun's heart moved. After confirming that the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast's abnormal behavior wasn't because of him, he didn't hesitate any longer and directly turned around to explore the cave.
… …
"Everyone, retreat first!" Shaochengtian felt the pressure from the distant horizon. Only then did he realize that he was a little rash.
He didn't expect that the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast's territory would be so vast. He also didn't expect that it would be so vigilant.
The Nine Heavens Divine Lightning Beast only became much calmer after everyone had retreated a couple of miles. However, it did not leave. Instead, it flapped its four wings that contained a lightning glow as it slowly patrolled around the surroundings of the Lightning God Peak.
"This guy's vigilance is actually so high!" A youth said in a low voice.
"It spent most of its time at the fifth rank refining the Lei Zhu in preparation for its advancement. Naturally, it wouldn't leave this place so easily." Another senior said.
"It's said that the Lei Zhu should be a double nine. Looking at its current strength, it's only a step away from the sixth rank. I think that the eighteen Lei Zhu should be more or less refined by now." Shaochengtian said indifferently.
When the others heard this, their spirits were also shaken.
"Let's wait for it to retreat to the peak before we split up. Remember to hide your aura. You must not act rashly and alert it." Shaochengtian said. At this moment, the focus of their cooperation had already been successfully shifted to the Lei Zhu.
"I didn't expect that a new student like Su Yun would dare to barge into this tiger's den alone. This courage is truly admirable." A youth at the late stage of the Spiritual Leader Stage who had been robbed by Su Yun said.
"I wonder if he's confident. Who knows, we might even be able to reap the benefits." Someone said half-jokingly.
"Hmph, he doesn't know what's good for him. If he wants to obtain the Lei Zhu, I'm afraid he'll have to rely on Big Brother Shaochengtian's help." The fat youth tactfully positioned himself. Eighteen Lei Zhu was enough to split.
When Shaochengtian heard this, he looked at the fat youth with praise. "Alright, everyone quietly wait for the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast to return. When you act, you must be careful."
… …
Su Yun entered the spacious cave and carefully unfolded his body. Although the cave was in the middle of the mountain, it wasn't dark at all.
"Where does the light in this cave come from?" Su Yun didn't understand as he quietly entered the deep passageway.
The passageway wasn't naturally formed. It was forcefully blasted out by the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast's powerful spiritual energy.
The walls of the passageway were rough and had a trace of a burnt black color. Seeing this, Su Yun had a deeper understanding of the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast.
"This fellow is actually so terrifying!" Su Yun couldn't help but sigh. He became even more cautious with his actions. If it discovered that he had entered the depths of the mountain, he probably wouldn't even have the chance to escape!
After walking for a long time, Su Yun finally arrived at the source of the light.
"The center of the Lightning God Peak is actually empty!" Su Yun was greatly shocked. At this moment, what entered his eyes was a vast expanse of emptiness. Above his head, thunder rumbled as if there was a powerful energy isolating it from the outside.
The entire Lightning God Peak was like a huge volcanic crater. It was just that it was longer and deeper. It wasn't filled with magma, but with rumbling thunder!
Su Yun was deeply shocked by this scene.
"It set up this place before. I don't know if it's safe or not." Su Yun was shocked as he carefully paid attention to the thunder floating above.
"Kacha!"
Purple lightning flickered under Su Yun's feet. The ground in front of him had already turned black.
Su Yun took a step back in shock as he broke out in cold sweat.
"This tofu dregs project! It's actually leaking electricity! "Su Yun lowered his head and only then did he notice that the ground was almost completely burnt black.
After cursing in his heart, Su Yun knew that time was of the essence and didn't dare to stay any longer.
The place where the aura was the strongest should be where the Lei Zhu was located.
Su Yun didn't dare to walk through this vast expanse of emptiness. What he was most afraid of was the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast above his head, which could return at any time.
At the place where the ground and the mountain wall met, there was a circular groove. Su Yun followed this groove and groped his way to the opposite side.
The thunder in the air was unceasing. Occasionally, there would be an explosion, which made Su Yun unable to calm down.
"I'm almost there!" Su Yun slowly approached the huge purple ball of light that was floating not far away. Above it, there was lightning circling around it, emitting sizzling sounds. Within the ball of light, there seemed to be a hazy, dark-colored purple dot.
That should be the Lei Zhu!
Su Yun felt the heart-palpitating fluctuations, and his heart was filled with excitement!
Close!
Just within reach!
Su Yun slowly reached out his sparkling and translucent hand, intending to put it into his pocket.
"Don't touch it!" A voice suddenly exploded in Su Yun's mind, causing him to withdraw his right hand in shock.
… …
"Let's go!" Shaochengtian reached out his right hand and waved slightly.
The few youths slowly approached the Lightning God Peak like cats. From time to time, they would secretly raise their heads to look at the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast, which was slowly floating to the other side of the Lightning God Peak.
The few youths on Shaochengtian's side had concealed their auras to the extreme. If one did not carefully sense them, even the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast would not be able to detect them.
The fat guy and the others were in another direction. At this moment, they were hiding behind a large tree. As the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast was still patrolling above them, they did not act rashly.
The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast was naturally compatible with lightning. Therefore, it was able to live in the surroundings of the Lightning God Peak, which was densely covered with lightning. As for other spiritual beasts, they were unable to withstand the might of the heavenly lightning and had all chosen to stay away from this place.
Therefore, it was very difficult to see other spiritual beasts within a few dozen miles of the Lightning God Peak. It was also because of this that Shaochengtian and the others dared to act with confidence.
"They should have already started to move. Let's go too!" Although the fat guy was not the strongest among them, he was the one who Shaochengtian appreciated the most. Therefore, he was the backbone of this group.
The few of them restrained their auras and slowly moved.
The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast was frighteningly ferocious. With just a flick of its tail, these people would not be able to bear the consequences. Therefore, both sides were extremely careful.
The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast was also extremely cautious. Its mighty figure floated steadily in the air with the flapping of its four wings, overlooking its territory. It did not want to make any mistakes at this final moment.
"It's preparing to return!" On Shaochengtian's side, a youth looked at the huge figure in the sky and said.
It was also at this moment that the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast suddenly turned around. Its divine gaze was like lightning as it looked directly at them.
The few of them were shocked and quickly hid themselves.
The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast seemed to have sensed something. Its figure, which was originally about to return to the top of the Divine Thunder Mountain, actually slowly floated towards Shaochengtian's side.
"Could it be that we've been discovered?!" The few of them were greatly shocked. They immediately held the spirit tablets in their hands, which were instantly soaked with sweat.
Taking advantage of the fact that the surrounding spiritual energy was still stable and the situation was slightly off, they decisively activated the teleportation!
The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast was getting closer and closer. At this moment, Shaochengtian and the others were only a few dozen miles away from the cave entrance. They were hiding, trying their best to suppress their breathing and conceal their spiritual energy fluctuations.
"Have they been exposed?" The fat guy asked softly.
"Everyone, try not to speak. Also, don't look at the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast. It's extremely sensitive to gazes. If we're not careful, we'll be exposed!" A Late Stage Spirit Cultivator beside the fat guy said softly.
The Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast floated above Shaochengtian and the others. Looking at the dense forest below, a trace of doubt appeared in its huge beast eyes.
