Cultivation Begins with Skill Points - Chapter 514 - 515: Innate Thunder Beast
Chapter 514: Chapter 515: Innate Thunder Beast
The leading woman glanced at Zhong Lin with some confusion, then her eyes lit up, and she cupped her hands and said, “May I ask if you are Senior Brother Zhong from the Sword Pavilion of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land?”
Zhong Lin, who was still operating his Spiritual Origin, felt a stir in his heart and asked in puzzlement, “Do you know me?”
Upon hearing Zhong Lin’s acknowledgment, the woman instantly smiled with joy and said, “It’s really Senior Brother Zhong. I am Fang Yun from the Fang Family of the Fang Domain. I’ve met Senior Brother Zhong before.”
After speaking, she turned and scolded the four men beside her.
“This is Senior Brother Zhong Lin from the Sword Pavilion of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land. Recently, at the Sealing King Ceremony, the Sword Slaughter King is Senior Brother Zhong Lin’s senior master. Hasten to pay your respects.”
At the order, the four dared not delay; they all cupped their hands in salute, loudly saying, “Greetings to Senior Brother Zhong.”
Fang Yun stepped forward and said, “Senior Brother Zhong, do not doubt. A few days ago at the Sealing King Ceremony, my brother Fang Chaoyu had the fortune to meet Senior Brother Zhong and introduced you to me. He praised your outstanding talent and extraordinary demeanor. I never expected to meet you again today; it truly is my great fortune!”
Zhong Lin then carefully looked at the Fang Family’s daughter in front of him, Fang Yun.
In her twenties, she had a delicate appearance, a cold temperament, and an air of sharpness between her brows.
Her hair was tied with silk ribbons, wearing a silver-white long robe, a leather belt at her waist, with wrist guards holding tight to her sleeves, paired with her sharp brows, long sword in hand, giving an aura of valiant spirit.
Although Zhong Lin had never met her, he did not feel hesitant about her words.
Not only her, but many who came to attend the Sealing King Ceremony also remembered the appearances of Zhong Lin and Chi Zhonglin, transmitting them back to their sects and sacred lands, lest their juniors inadvertently provoke these two.
The entire Sword Pavilion had only four people, and no one wanted their juniors’ ignorance to make two Sealing King strong individuals hold grudges. Therefore, the Sealing King Ceremony had ended, and not only did Tu Ye’s reputation spread across the Eastern Desolate, but even his two junior brothers were presented on the tables of various factions, drawing envy and jealousy.
Two kings from one sect!
With two golden thighs to hold onto, one could walk across Qingyuan World unabated.
However, judging by her calling him Senior Brother Zhong, it seemed his identity as the Sixth Saint had yet to spread.
“So it’s Junior Sister Fang Yun, Zhong Lin greets you.” Zhong Lin smiled and cupped his hands as well.
“Did Senior Brother come to Thunderstorm Heaven also for the Innate Thunder Beast?”
“Innate Thunder Beast?”
“Isn’t it so?”
Zhong Lin shook his head and said, “I came to Thunderstorm Heaven this time only to seek a friend. What is this Innate Thunder Beast?”
“Senior Brother may not know, this Thunder Beast is born innate, formed by the great conjunction of heaven and earth’s thunder and lightning, a spirit of thunder and electricity, or rather, a deity of thunder and lightning, the master of thunderbolt, born with the ability to command heavenly thunder.
This divine beast is uniquely born of heaven and earth, and only after the fall of one Thunder Beast will another be born.
According to family records, in ancient times, a Thunder Beast roamed across the heavens and the earth, unstoppable, where it passed became a Thunder Swamp, possessing great might and terror. Even an Imperial Realm strong individual had to yield three points to a mature Thunder Beast.
But ever since that ancient Thunder Beast fell, no trace of this divine beast has been seen. Unexpectedly, after ancient times, a Thunder Beast has reappeared, with someone having spotted its traces in this Thunderstorm Heaven. I also came here hoping to try my luck.”
Upon hearing this, Zhong Lin narrowed his eyes, his mind racing with all the information about the Thunder Beast.
The Thunder Beast, born amidst thunder and lightning, is conceived out of the myriad essences of lightning, a favored child of heaven’s workings, innately ruling over all thunder and lightning. Wherever it commands, heavenly thunder follows, turning the land into a Thunder Swamp.
“I never expected such a divine beast still exists, truly a marvel of creation, but given the Innate Thunder Beast’s formidable strength, able to make even Emperors retreat, how dare you venture here?” Zhong Lin asked.
“Let me inform Senior Brother, this Innate Thunder Beast has only just been born, naturally lacking the power to intimidate Emperors, but it is extremely adept at hiding. We are merely trying our luck, hoping to slay it and take its horn to refine our bodies with the Heavenly Thunder Power and cleanse our bloodline strength.
Sadly, such an Innate Divine Beast, though just born, has already awakened Spiritual Wisdom, with innate pride, impossible to tame, otherwise it could serve as a guardian beast.” Fang Yun sighed.
Hearing this, Zhong Lin nodded inwardly. Setting aside other factors, just the opportunity to cleanse one’s bloodline would drive the clans of the Fang Domain mad.
Unlike the Martial Arts Skills of sects and sacred lands, the clans in the Fang Domain indeed possess bloodline power, and many family cultivation techniques are specially developed for their bloodlines, much like a DNA bond, only those with such bloodlines can truly unleash their power, which is the fundamental basis for the Fang Domain’s clans and families to stand firm.
If the Thunder Beast’s Horn could really cleanse the bloodline, it would be the best spiritual elixir in the world for the people of the Fang Domain.
Fang Yun’s eyes turned suddenly, and she asked, “Senior Brother Zhong, have you found that friend?”
“Not yet.”
“Then why does Senior Brother Zhong not join us? There are many of my Fang Family members in Thunderstorm Heaven. I can send a message to help with the search.”
Zhong Lin naturally saw Fang Yun’s intention to please him as an opportunity and did not refuse, as Thunderstorm Heaven was indeed vast, and searching for Long Zhao was like finding a needle in a haystack. The ’Heavenly Control Scripture’ could only determine a general location, so leveraging the Fang Family’s power indeed had a greater chance than searching alone.
“Then I will trouble Junior Sister.”
“Hehe, no trouble at all, no trouble at all.”
Fang Yun appeared quite joyful and smiling.
The other four men, who hadn’t spoken from the beginning, obviously looked to Fang Yun as their leader.
They didn’t linger and temporarily formed a group heading deeper into Thunderstorm Heaven.
Everyone in Fang Yun’s entourage had cultivated to the Life and Death Realm with an Undying Body; their Spiritual Origin turned into Spiritual Gang to keep the thunderbolts at bay, except for Zhong Lin, who continually absorbed the essence of these thunderbolts, tempering his body.
“Senior Brother Zhong, are you using the ’Domain Control Heart Scripture’ to absorb the Thunderbolt Essence? I once heard from Elder Nian Ze that the ’Prison Control Heart Sutra,’ one of the Eight Great Martial Arts of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land, is reputed to be the Five Thunders General, gathering myriad thunderbolts into one palm, overturning the heavens with a wave, like a god of thunder.” Fang Yun watched Zhong Lin absorb the Lightning Elite and Thunderbolt Essence along the way into his body, experiencing a metamorphosis, his power climbing steadily, a hue of envy in her eyes.
Though it was unknown if it were true, being admired by such a beautiful woman indeed brought immense satisfaction to one’s heart.
“Junior Sister praises me too highly. Though the ’Prison Control Heart Sutra’ has methods for manipulating thunderbolts, it pales compared to the ’All Heavens Thunder Technique’ of the Thunderbolt Sacred Land, which truly is the All Heavens Thunder Law General. With a wave of the hand, one can unleash various exotic thunderbolts, and from what I know, the Fang Family also possesses the Purple Flame Thunder skill, merging fire and thunder with unrivaled might.”
