In Xu Qingfeng's constant reflections, the group easily passed through the Thunderfire Layer, which had initially caused him some headaches. However, it was not over yet. Just as they were about to leave the Thunderfire Layer, Xu Qingfeng's expression became serious again as he said to Ling Mo Xie, "The next layer is also a test, and it's even more difficult than the previous two. You must stay close to me."
Seeing Xu Qingfeng's solemn demeanor, Ling Mo Xie couldn't help but take it seriously and nodded earnestly, allowing Xu Qingfeng to lead the way.
Xu Qingfeng prepared himself and restored his Spiritual Energy. After informing Ling Mo Xie, he quickly flew forward.
Ling Mo Xie hurriedly followed along with Xiao Chi Chen Yan.
The sound of thunder echoed around them, and when Ling Mo Xie suddenly saw the scene before him, he was taken aback.
Beyond that layer of heavenly fire was a sea of constantly flashing and booming thunder!
This place was entirely an ocean of thunder, even more exaggerated than the Heavenly Tribulation; of course, its power was not as great as that of the Heavenly Tribulation.
Xu Qingfeng had already raised a Shield to protect Ling Mo Xie and the others behind him. Therefore, Ling Mo Xie and Hong Chi, along with Chen Yan, felt little pressure as they closely followed Xu Qingfeng, who appeared somewhat strained.
Ling Mo Xie refrained from speaking further to avoid distracting Xu Qingfeng and focused on closely following him so that he could concentrate on moving forward.
As they progressed through this shocking sea of thunder, they were about to cross this deceptive ocean when Xu Qingfeng suddenly paused, his expression changing. He said to Ling Mo Xie, "It seems our luck isn't very good. Stay close; I need to speed up!"
After saying that, he activated his Spiritual Energy and quickly increased his speed. Ling Mo Xie also promptly used the Fleeting Light skill to catch up swiftly.
A beastly roar erupted from behind them, incredibly shocking, drowning out even the sound of thunder in their ears.
"What is that?" Although Ling Mo Xie didn't want to distract Xu Qingfeng, his curiosity got the better of him, and he asked in confusion.
Xu Qingfeng replied while accelerating forward, "That's a Thunder Beast, a unique Spirit Beast that lives in thunder. It's rare in the world and possesses great power. Its temperament is as volatile as thunder itself, making it prone to attack cultivators."
Then Xu Qingfeng continued, "The one behind us should still be a juvenile; it's only at the late stage of integration. However, in this thunder environment, their power is immeasurable. If I were alone, it wouldn't be a problem since my cultivation level is higher than its own and I could deal with it. But now that I'm with you all, I can't afford to be distracted by it. This thunder is even more formidable than what you see; without Tribulation Period cultivation level, you won't be able to withstand it."
Ling Mo Xie nodded. So it turned out that what was behind them was just a juvenile Thunder Beast. The Thunder Beast was robust, with four thick legs and hooves like those of a water buffalo. Surrounded by thunder, it had a sharp horn on its head flickering with blue lightning, looking quite imposing.
"Zizz!" What surprised everyone was that the Thunder Beast was even faster than they had imagined. Its sharp horns flickered with lightning, and a thick blue bolt struck fiercely against the shield raised by Xu Qingfeng.
The shield trembled for a moment but ultimately stabilized under the worried gaze of Ling Mo Xie.
"It seems it has noticed us; we need to leave the thunder layer quickly!" Xu Qingfeng said anxiously.
Ling Mo Xie turned to look at the Thunder Beast and cast a binding spell, causing the beast's movements to freeze in mid-air.
"Is that all? Let's try again!" Ling Mo Xie muttered to himself, realizing that they were on a journey and needed to act swiftly. He immediately focused on the skill "Heavenly Sword," which he had only used once before, but its power was unforgettable.
The frustrating part was that he needed to fully execute the first few strikes of this skill to unleash its full potential, and those initial strikes... well, only the third and fourth strikes were somewhat effective; the first two were merely tickling this level of enemy.
"Never mind, let's give it a shot!" Ling Mo Xie said to himself. Running away like this wasn't a solution. He had seen how fast that Thunder Beast was in the lightning earlier; if they just kept fleeing, once the binding spell wore off, the beast would surely catch up quickly, and they wouldn't have time to escape from this thunderstorm!
With that thought, Ling Mo Xie paused, turned around, and with a swift motion, his weapon—a long sword—appeared in his hand. Several beams of sword light flew towards the Thunder Beast without any gaps between them. Following those thin beams of light was a dazzling white glow that shone brightly, pushing away the surrounding lightning and far outshining it.
Needless to say, that was the light of the Heavenly Sword.
The sword light arrived as expected, striking directly at the Thunder Beast that had been immobilized by the binding spell. At that moment, the duration of the binding spell was nearly over; the Thunder Beast let out a fierce roar and became frenzied, charging rapidly towards Ling Mo Xie's direction.
Just as Ling Mo Xie was startled, thinking he had caused trouble, the charging Thunder Beast suddenly dissipated into countless bolts of lightning, returning to this sea of thunder. A blue crystalline object fell from above.
"What is this?" Ling Mo Xie focused his spiritual energy, and under its guidance, the blue crystal flew towards him and landed steadily in his hand.
Xu Qingfeng had initially been shocked when he saw Ling Mo Xie suddenly stop to confront the Thunder Beast. However, seeing him resolve it so quickly left him even more astonished—his eyes nearly popped out.
That Thunder Beast was at the late stage of integration and in its home territory! How could he be so decisive? After all, his cultivation level wasn't even higher than that of the Thunder Beast!
Xu Qingfeng looked at Ling Mo Xie with an odd expression. Wow, people from the Ling family are truly extraordinary!
Even if he let himself deal with the Thunder Beast, it couldn't be more straightforward, after all, this is the Thunder Beast's territory, and its strength can be fully displayed.
Xu Qingfeng did not expect that due to Ling Mo Xie's decisive action, the Thunder Beast's advantage was never realized. Therefore, dealing with the Thunder Beast quickly turned out to be simpler than he imagined. Moreover, in this environment, if Ling Mo Xie were to change his surroundings and circumstances, he couldn't guarantee that he could easily handle someone with a higher cultivation level than himself.
In any case, Xu Qingfeng was astonished and took a long time to regain his senses.
Ling Mo Xie helplessly said to Xu Qingfeng, "What is this? The body of that Thunder Beast just fell down! It actually dissipated into thunder."
The blue crystal was not something that exploded because it wasn't automatically picked up into the backpack; it should be something that anyone who killed the Thunder Beast would drop.
Hearing Ling Mo Xie's question, Xu Qingfeng finally came back to his senses. He glanced at it and said, "Oh, this is the Thunder Crystal. It is usually made into Thunderbolt Children for attacking; it can also slowly guide the thunder inside for refining one's body."
Xu Qingfeng explained to Ling Mo Xie and elaborated on how to make Thunderbolt Children.
Upon hearing Xu Qingfeng's words, Ling Mo Xie's eyes lit up. Isn't this similar to a hand grenade?
So he hurriedly asked Xu Qingfeng, "How powerful can this Thunderbolt Child be?"
Xu Qingfeng naturally thought that Ling Mo Xie wanted to stock up on Thunderbolt Children for fighting. He smiled helplessly and explained, "It only has one-third of the attack power of a full strike from the Thunder Beast when it was alive. Therefore, Thunderbolt Children are generally made as gifts for one's juniors or disciples. In the Taoist Sect, there are various levels of Thunderbolt Children available for exchange. It wouldn't be bad to exchange for some higher-level ones for personal use."
"I see!" Ling Mo Xie nodded somewhat disappointedly; there are no shortcuts on the path of cultivation.
Ling Mo Xie put away the Thunder Crystal in his hand, and the group continued on their way.
The place where they encountered the Thunder Beast was not far from the edge of the thunder layer, so they quickly left the thunder layer behind.
This time there were finally no more tests. What appeared before them was a grand gate in the clouds.
At first glance, the gate was resplendent and magnificent, like the most dazzling thing in the world, gathering all the light and glory of existence. However, upon a second look, it seemed like a dilapidated and desolate gate, exuding a sense of bleakness.
Xu Qingfeng looked at Ling Mo Xie’s surprised expression and smiled, saying, “This is the gate of the Dao Sect. Once we enter, we will reach the peak of Tianzhu Mountain, which has now been cultivated and leveled by the Dao Sect.”
“This gate…” Ling Mo Xie furrowed his brow in confusion as he looked at Xu Qingfeng.
Xu Qingfeng sighed and explained, “Isn’t this just like the affairs of the world? There are times of spring breeze and high spirits, as well as times of despair and embarrassment. The rise and fall of worldly matters speaks to this, doesn’t it? People have their own cycles, and events have their own cycles.”
Ling Mo Xie nodded thoughtfully. Although he still didn’t understand why the Dao Sect's gate would be like this, he felt an inexplicable clarity in his heart.
“Let’s go. Why hesitate now that we’re at the gate? Let’s enter!” Xu Qingfeng then smiled again at Ling Mo Xie and led the way into the mountain gate.
Seeing that Xu Qingfeng had already entered, Ling Mo Xie quickly followed with Xiao Chi Chen Yan.
Crossing through the mountain gate, they found themselves on a wide avenue, with disciples dressed in Dao Sect attire standing on either side. Upon seeing Xu Qingfeng leading Ling Mo Xie and others in, they all wore serious expressions and said nothing. Only one person whose clothing was slightly different stepped forward and addressed Xu Qingfeng, saying, “Senior Brother Xu, they are... you know, this is the holy place of the Dao Sect; it cannot…”
Xu Qingfeng directly interrupted him: “This is Ling Mo Xie. He is someone the Sect Master wishes to meet. Is that acceptable now?”
The man was taken aback for a moment, then nodded repeatedly, saying, “Please!”
He wouldn’t doubt that Xu Qingfeng would lie to him; within the Dao Sect, everything is under the control of the Sect Master. Who would dare to speak recklessly about matters concerning the Sect Master? That would be seeking their own demise.
