This place looks like a valley several hundred feet in size, even in the current winter season. It is still vibrant with life, filled with the sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers, lush and green. The three of them, Ren Pingsheng and his companions, took a careful look around, all expressing their amazement. Such vitality could only be achieved through great means.
“How do you like it here? Not bad, right?” An old man suddenly appeared before the three, smiling as he spoke. He seemed to exude no aura whatsoever, appearing just like an ordinary elder. What was even more puzzling was that they could not gauge this person's strength.
Ren Pingsheng and his companions did not dare to underestimate him in the slightest and cautiously replied, “It’s beautiful. We’re curious why you brought us here and if there’s something we can assist you with.”
“Haha, there’s no need to be nervous. I indeed have some matters for you to help with. If you can satisfy me, I will naturally let you go and even provide you with some benefits.”
“You are quite interesting—a Thunder God inheritor, a disciple of Nine-Tails, and someone shrouded in mystery who is hard to see through. How did you all come together?” he asked with interest.
“Uh… we just happened to meet on the road. We are only passing through here on our way to the Eastern Region,” Ren Pingsheng replied honestly after glancing at Yi Qingyi with some confusion.
“Alright, I assume you just came out of the Thunder God Temple not long ago. I can clearly sense the aura of Thunder Beasts and the Destruction Thunder on you. But now it seems vague,” the old man said as he looked at the three, finally resting his gaze on Leizhen.
“Thunder Beast? Destruction Thunder? How is that possible? I don’t know. Although I received the inheritance, I haven’t encountered either of those things,” Leizhen said with a change in expression, filled with surprise. He then turned to look at Ren Pingsheng; since he didn’t have it, it must be with Ren Pingsheng.
“Uh… yes, I did encounter a Thunder Beast at the Thunder God Temple and also saw the Destruction Thunder,” Ren Pingsheng admitted as all eyes turned toward him.
“Really? I never expected that there would still be Thunder Beasts alive in the Thunder God Temple,” Leizhen said enviously. As a Thunder God inheritor, obtaining a Thunder Beast would be like adding wings to a tiger.
“Do you need the Thunder Pearl?” Ren Pingsheng asked tentatively.
“Not the Thunder Pearl; I want the Destruction Thunder. Although the Thunder Pearl is rare, it wouldn’t be difficult for me to obtain if I wanted it. However, Destruction Thunder can only be found within a Thunder Beast. It’s unfortunate that Thunder Beasts have long been extinct; I didn’t expect there would still be one in the Thunder God Temple. Not only did you see a Thunder Beast, but you also came into contact with Destruction Thunder,” the old man asked with some agitation.
“That’s right; we stumbled upon the Thunder Beast by chance. At that time, it was sealed within the Thunder Sea by a Thunder Pearl. We obtained the Thunder Pearl and released it, and in the end, it even expelled a bolt of Destruction Thunder. Fortunately, I had the Thunder Pearl in hand; otherwise, I wouldn’t have survived, and the Thunder Pearl absorbed a trace of Destruction Thunder as well.”
As he spoke, he took out a Thunder Pearl, and a colorless light surged forth. In the center of the fist-sized Thunder Pearl, a Thunder Sea shimmered. There was even a tiny strand of black lightning moving within the Thunder Sea.
“Indeed, it is the World-Destroying Thunder. Although it is just a small strand, the aura cannot be mistaken,” the old man said with some excitement, his eyes fixed tightly on the Thunder Pearl.
“However, I wonder what use the World-Destroying Thunder has for you, senior? It is said that only those who cultivate lightning attributes can gain immense benefits from it,” Ren Pingsheng said, glancing at the excited Leizhen with some confusion.
“Heh heh, that is because you have seen too little. Lightning represents destruction and rebirth, and has many unspeakable uses. My cultivation method is of the wood attribute; if I have the World-Destroying Thunder to assist me, it will lead to a brand new transformation, akin to rebirth, allowing my cultivation to advance further.”
“Rebirth? Advancing further in cultivation? Senior, you must be a Saint-level expert; are you implying...?” Leizhen asked in shock, seemingly unable to believe the reality he had guessed.
“Haha, becoming a Divine-level expert is not so easy. In this realm, there will not be any Divine-level experts for the time being; perhaps it will be possible in several hundred years,” the old man couldn't help but laugh.
“Why wait until several hundred years later? Is there some kind of restriction?”
“These matters are still too distant for you. However, I can tell you a bit. It is because the laws of this realm are incomplete, which prevents breakthroughs.”
“Incomplete laws? Will they be complete in several hundred years?” Ren Pingsheng couldn't help but ask.
“The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed; you will know when the time comes. However, you are fortunate; by then, there will be no obstacles to breaking through to become Divine-level experts. Now then, this Thunder Pearl is what I need; I wonder what you wish for in return?” The old man seemed unwilling to say more and waved his hand to bring the Thunder Pearl into his grasp.
“If senior needs the Thunder Pearl, then I shall give it to you,” Ren Pingsheng said without any particular desires; he simply wanted to leave this place and return to Snow State.
“Heh heh, why would I covet something from a junior like you? Very well, since I find you pleasing to the eye, take this dragon scale as well; consider it my promise to grant you one request.” With a wave of his hand, a palm-sized green dragon scale floated before Ren Pingsheng's eyes, startling all three of them.
“A dragon scale? Senior, could it be that you are...”
“Correct; others call me Qinglong. I have spent nearly a thousand years searching for the World-Destroying Thunder. This time, I truly must thank you. I see that you have also comprehended the Wood Realm; thus, I will grant you another opportunity.”
He waved his hand without hesitation, and a green light immediately surged into Ren Pingsheng's body. Ren Pingsheng instantly felt an incredible sense of comfort, as if he were soaking in a hot spring. Then, the Wood Realm within him suddenly stirred and burst forth.
Next, the Wood Realm grew wildly like bamboo shoots after a rain. His understanding of the Wood Realm deepened more and more.
"If he wakes up, it will take at least three days. You all should rest here for a while! Little girl, come with me." The old man pointed to a thatched cottage not far away, then patted Yi Qingyi's shoulder, and the two vanished in an instant, leaving only Leizhen and Ren Pingsheng behind.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Ren Pingsheng, who had been sitting quietly, slowly opened his eyes, his expression filled with indescribable excitement.
During these three days, he continuously comprehended the Wood Realm. Thanks to the help of the Azure Dragon, his understanding of the Wood Realm had risen from thirty percent to seventy percent. Achieving such mastery of the Wood Realm in just three days would be unbelievable to anyone else.
More importantly, although he had awakened, the green light within him had not yet finished refining and comprehending; it had only consumed half of its energy. This meant he could continue to comprehend it, and reaching perfection was not out of the question. This was why he felt so excited.
"Oh, you're awake," Leizhen said with a smile from the side.
"Yes, why are you alone? Where's Qingyi?" Ren Pingsheng stood up and stretched lazily, noticing Yi Qingyi was missing and couldn't help but ask.
"She was taken away by Senior Azure Dragon; I don't know what for. Before leaving, he said we should stay here for a while; it seems he won't be back anytime soon."
"Oh, in that case, let's wait here! There shouldn't be any danger," he sighed and said. If there were truly any harm intended towards them, with the strength of the Azure Dragon Sacred Beast, they wouldn't even be able to fight back. So staying here wasn't something to worry about.
"You're right. How's your understanding of the Wood Realm coming along?" Leizhen asked with some interest. He had seen how the Azure Dragon Sacred Beast helped Ren Pingsheng three days ago but didn't know the outcome.
"Not bad; I've achieved great mastery and still have room for improvement. It seems I'll be spending this time cultivating," Ren Pingsheng replied with a smile.
"That's really good. The Wood Realm is gentle and full of vitality; it's excellent for healing. Now I understand why this valley is so vibrant."
"Indeed, with Senior Azure Dragon's abilities, these things can be done effortlessly. I wonder when we will have such strength."
"Ha ha, let's just focus on our cultivation! We are still young, and there is plenty of room for improvement. I have received the Thunder God inheritance, but I have only just grasped a small part of it. If I could fully comprehend it, I would be able to reach this level as well. I see you are not simple either; you must have your secrets. Otherwise, back at the Thunder God Temple, when everyone was driven by greed to attack me, you were the only one who remained indifferent." Leizhen was filled with confidence and did not dare to underestimate Ren Pingsheng in the slightest.
"Hehe, maybe! Since we can't leave for a while, let's just stay here and enjoy ourselves! This should be the center of Cangmang Mountain; being able to step foot here is quite an accomplishment."
The two chatted and laughed as they wandered around the valley, discovering many precious spiritual herbs. They even found some herbs that had disappeared from the outside world, but they dared not be too reckless. Two days passed, and the Azure Dragon Sacred Beast still had not returned, so they decided to stay here.
At that moment, in a nearby small valley on Cangmang Mountain, the Azure Dragon Sacred Beast was sitting across from Yi Qingyi. Neither seemed to be speaking; both appeared to be deep in thought.
"Little girl, what do you think about what I said? Are you willing to stay?" The Azure Dragon Sacred Beast spoke first, asking calmly.
"Thank you for your kind offer, senior. However, I want to follow Ren Brother and do not wish to stay here," Yi Qingyi replied without hesitation.
"You should have heard what I just said. If you follow him, your life will be in danger; it's simply not worth it."
"Even so, I am willing. What does life or death matter? If he does not betray me, how can I betray him?"
"Sigh, why are you so stubborn? You won't have a good outcome together. If you stay here and cultivate powerful skills, you can help him," the Azure Dragon said with some helplessness, clearly dissatisfied with Yi Qingyi's attitude.
"Good or bad, I don't care. Thank you for your kind offer," Yi Qingyi said unperturbed.
"Fine, since that's how you feel, I won't force you. You can stay here for a while; leave after a year. Cultivate here and hopefully you'll make some breakthroughs by the time you leave." With that, he waved his hand, and the entire valley was sealed off by a green Light Barrier. Then he vanished in a flash, leaving Yi Qingyi alone in the valley.
