CHAPTER 123: CHAPTER 123: THE THREE GREAT SECTS, A STATE OF ALARM

In the void above the Thunder Pool.

Ye Yun saw the mournful expression on Big Black Horse’s face and smiled faintly.

"Isn’t lightning your Innate Divine Ability? Given your current cultivation base, shouldn’t you be able to refine it?" he asked aloud.

"I can’t, Master. This is my first time hearing about the Rebirth Thunder. Its energy is too domineering; I can only refine one strand at a time. I estimate that I can’t refine such a large piece of Rebirth Thunder. If I forcibly refine it, I fear my body would not be able to withstand it..." Big Black Horse complained.

He knew his impression in his Master’s eyes had dropped this time.

But there was no way around it; his abilities were limited...

Even though he was a demon beast from the Eternal Realm and seemed powerful in front of the Three Saints of Accumulated Thunder Mountain, he was keenly aware of his own limitations.

This mysterious Rebirth Thunder was indeed something Big Black Horse could not refine.

Only the more formidable demon beasts in the Master’s warehouse could refine it.

"All right."

Ye Yun nodded.

A glimmer appeared in his eyes as several faint golden symbols flew out, filled with an unimaginable aura of the great Dao. These symbols broke through the void and landed on the golden lightning.

The golden lightning instantly shrank, finally transforming into a small golden sword.

"You keep it. Save it for gradual refinement in the future..." Ye Yun said with a smile.

"Thank you, Master!" Big Black Horse happily picked up the small golden sword, his face filled with extreme excitement.

Ye Yun flickered and returned to the void to continue his cultivation.

Big Black Horse, holding the small sword, played with it affectionately for an entire day before he carefully absorbed a strand of lightning from it for refinement.

The entire Accumulated Thunder Mountain fell silent.

At this moment, the three major sects had already descended into chaos. The Supreme Elders in the Destiny Realm all had life plaques left in their sects, and now the plaques were shattered. This meant that these four Supreme Elders in the Destiny Realm had all perished in Accumulated Thunder Mountain.

The sudden loss of the sects’ top combat power left the Sect Masters of the three major sects extremely alarmed. They feared that the Three Saints of Accumulated Thunder Mountain would suddenly descend and declare war on them.

However, after waiting for a few days, they found that Accumulated Thunder Mountain remained quiet, with no changes. Only then did they sigh in relief.

Perhaps the Three Saints of Accumulated Thunder Mountain were also severely injured in this battle and wouldn’t be able to leave the mountain anytime soon.

「Another month passed.」

All was calm, and the Sect Masters of the three major sects finally calmed down.

The three Sect Masters gathered and, after deliberating for an entire day, decided to report the incident to the forces behind them. The three major sects of the Shenfeng Dynasty had some dependent relationships with certain sects of the Heavenly Star Dynasty.

Those sects were greatly shocked when they heard the news. However, they didn’t send anyone over. Clearly, they were also apprehensive of the Three Saints of Accumulated Thunder Mountain. Until it was a last resort, they would not easily provoke these three great demon beasts.

The power of the Demon Clan was also very strong in every dynasty. Perhaps the Three Saints from Accumulated Thunder Mountain also had backing in the Sun, Moon, and Star Dynasties. If those forces took action, it would break the rules and very likely trigger a war between the Human Race and the Demon Clan. Such wars had occurred many times over thousands of years. The final outcome was always a loss for both sides; neither the Human Race nor the Demon Clan obtained any advantage.

「After a while.」

Seeing that the three great demon beasts of Accumulated Thunder Mountain didn’t appear, the sects of the Heavenly Star Dynasty finally felt relieved.

The performance of the three major sects elicited much debate and considerable disapproval within the dominant forces of the Heavenly Star Dynasty. This time, the three major sects of the Shenfeng Dynasty had acted rashly. Going to provoke the Three Great Demon Beasts of Accumulated Thunder Mountain just to find two human youths was not a wise move. As a result, the three major sects not only lost twenty to thirty powerful cultivators in the Nirvana Realm but also four great cultivators in the Destiny Realm. The losses were severe.

However, the profound heritage of the three great sects remained. Other first-class sects in the Shenfeng Dynasty were not yet capable of replacing them.

「Three months passed.」

The Shenfeng Dynasty regained its peace, and the three great sects also returned to normal.

Deep within the Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range, above the Thunder Pool, three rays of light suddenly shot into the sky, and three silhouettes emerged in the void.

"The refinement of your bodies this time has reached its limit. We should continue our journey..." Ye Yun stood in the void, his hands clasped behind his back. He looked at the three juniors before him with a gratified smile.

Apart from Su Wanyi’s eight percent, Luo Li and Jun Moxiao now had an Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood concentration of ten percent within their bodies. The trio had reached their limits.

During these three months of body refinement, their cultivation progress had not fallen behind. Su Wanyi was now at the eighth layer of the Shaping God Realm. Luo Li and Jun Moxiao had reached the seventh layer of the Divine Bridge Realm.

"Old Patriarch, where are we going next?" Gazing at the Old Patriarch clad in white, who looked like a banished immortal, Luo Li asked with a smile, her eyes filled with admiration.

"Let’s go to the Shen Heng Sect..." Ye Yun said serenely.

First, I’ll deal with the Shen Heng Sect. Then, the other two sects definitely can’t be spared.

Once these three sects are dealt with, we can leave the Shenfeng Dynasty.

SWOOSH!

The Thunder Pool churned, and a black figure emerged. It was the Big Black Cat, who had been in secluded cultivation all this time.

"Wow, Little Cat, your cultivation has reached the third layer of the Destiny Realm?" Luo Li exclaimed, her small face showing shock upon seeing the Big Black Cat’s cultivation.

"Haha, yes, I’ve finally reached the Destiny Realm..." The Big Black Cat chuckled shyly.

With a flash of light, Big Black Horse appeared above the void, pulling a black carriage. Thunder Dragon, Kui Bull, and the Dark Lightning Thunder Tiger also flew over.

"Little Masters, aren’t you going to collect some demon beasts for the sect? These three... what do you think?" Big Black Horse looked at Luo Li and the others, giving his customary grin.

After discovering their cultivation bases, Luo Li shook her head with difficulty. "They are all Demon Clan creatures in the Destiny Realm..."

"Little Masters, please accept us..." Thunder Dragon and the others immediately knelt, looking sincere.

Luo Li looked conflicted. It would be one thing for her to accept a demon beast in the Divine Bridge Realm, but these three were all in the Destiny Realm; she truly felt unqualified.

"Accept them," Ye Yun said. "However, do not use them unless it is absolutely necessary. Just let them cultivate in the bracelets..."

"Alright... Old Patriarch!" Luo Li nodded, raised her bracelet, and collected the Dark Lightning Thunder Tiger into it.

"Senior Sister, Junior Brother, let’s each take one..." Luo Li turned, retreated a few steps, and looked at Su Wanyi and Jun Moxiao, proposing with a smile.

Seeing this, Ye Yun nodded approvingly. Luo Li is doing well, treating everyone equally.

He reached out, and a ray of light appeared on Su Wanyi’s wrist, forming a bracelet.

"This is..." Su Wanyi was a bit dazed.

Luo Li ran over and whispered in Su Wanyi’s ear for a moment.

Only then did Su Wanyi understand. So this was a special bracelet bestowed by the Old Patriarch for disciples to collect demon beasts.

"Senior Sister, let me demonstrate for you..." Jun Moxiao, standing beside her, also raised his bracelet. A green light flew out, collecting the Kui Bull into it.
