643: Her background is anything but simple!

On a massive mountain peak on Lei Shan.

Inside the pavilion, several people sat around a long table.

Outside the pavilion, the visible Lei Pond appeared before everyone’s eyes. Gentle lightning flickered, the wind blew, and clouds surged within the Lei Pond, faintly accompanied by the roar of thunder.

“This thunder beast is almost mature. After tens of thousands of years of Cultivation, its strength is rapidly growing.”

Martial Uncle Yuan Dao slowly spoke, holding his wine cup.

It wasn’t his first time seeing a thunder beast. Over a hundred thousand years ago, he had seen thunder beasts after they reached maturity.

They were existences he couldn't contend with.

Now, he too had finally reached this turning point, about to complete the final Impact, and at that time, he could be as powerful as a mature thunder beast!

“Junior Martial Uncle, Master said you once saw a mature thunder beast. Was that thunder beast very strong?”

Shen Qingling asked.

She had only heard rumors about thunder beasts but had never actually seen one, so she was always very curious.

“A mature thunder beast is at least an existence that has stepped into the Heaven and Earth Sealing King Realm. Over a hundred thousand years ago, your Master and I, along with the Pure Yang Sword Sect of the Shattering Sect, personally witnessed a mature thunder beast. That thunder beast’s strength was far greater than a newly mature one.”

“It already had the potential to glimpse the Venerable Realm, but unfortunately…”

At this point, Martial Uncle Yuan Dao sighed, shaking his head with a hint of regret.

Yaochi, beside him, glanced at him and said, “Mr. Yuan Dao, why the sigh? Did that thunder beast ultimately perish?”

A thunder beast capable of glimpsing the Venerable Realm shouldn’t die so easily.

The Li Clan is an ancient clan, and the records within it contain countless races from the Holy Domain throughout history, almost encompassing all possibilities.

This thunder beast is one of them; it’s a Heaven and Earth Exotic Beast with infinite potential.

A thunder beast that can glimpse the Venerable Realm isn't so easy to kill.

She had seen in the clan records that thunder beasts could undergo Rebirth through lightning; all they needed was some time.

“Miss Yaochi is right, that thunder beast indeed perished.”

Martial Uncle Yuan Dao picked up his cup again and took a sip, saying, “For a thunder beast to enter the Venerable Realm, it needs to undergo three Lightning Tribulation baptisms, shed its former Physical Body, and reconstruct its Physical Body and Divine Soul.”

“That thunder beast back then survived two Lightning Tribulations. It was only one final Divine Soul tribulation away from successfully entering the Venerable Realm!”

“The pity is, there were too many Cultivators coveting the thunder beast!”

Who in the Holy Domain doesn’t know that these Heaven and Earth-born exotic beasts are treasures from head to toe!

Being able to hunt a thunder beast means its bones, blood, and lean meat are all incredibly nourishing. Many Cultivators with insufficient Innate Foundation can even use the thunder beast’s essence to supplement their deficiencies.

Among them, the most attractive, naturally, is the thunder bone!

Thunder beasts are born of Heaven and Earth. Legend has it that there is a thunder bone in their brain. Cultivators who obtain the thunder bone can observe the Law of Thunder Dao, starting from nothing and quickly Cultivating a pure Law of Thunder Dao!

Such a treasure, a type of Innate treasure, is coveted by every Cultivator who knows about it!

Since that thunder beast could glimpse the Venerable Realm, the thunder bone in its skull had long since matured, amplifying its appeal many times over.

It was hard not to attract the attention of powerful individuals.

“It seems then that the one who hunted that thunder beast was likely a Cultivator of the Venerable Realm!”

Yuan Fei shook his head, saying with certainty.

In his opinion, only Cultivators of that level could possibly kill a thunder beast that had survived two Lightning Tribulations. Cultivators of the Heaven and Earth Sealing King Realm would probably find it very difficult to kill it.

A Venerable Realm Cultivator made a move?!

Shen Qingling was greatly astonished!

Would such an existence really act?

Didn’t they say that Venerable Realm Cultivators were just a legend now?

How could they make a move?

Martial Uncle Yuan Dao reached out and poked Yuan Fei, saying with a smile, “You’re a clever boy, and your guess is very accurate!”

“That battle was the most intense I’ve ever witnessed!”

“There really was a Venerable Realm Cultivator who made a move?” Shen Qingling was even more surprised!

“Yes!”

Martial Uncle Yuan Dao nodded, then continued, “Not only did a Venerable Realm Cultivator make a move, but it wasn’t just one!”

“It was three Venerable Realm powerhouses!”

As Martial Uncle Yuan Dao’s voice fell, everyone gasped!

Three Venerable Realm powerhouses!

What kind of concept was that?

How many years had it been since a Venerable Realm Cultivator was heard of in the entire Holy Domain?

Since three Venerable Realm powerhouses appeared over a hundred thousand years ago, it could be confirmed that those three Venerable Realm Cultivators must still be alive today!

With their Cultivation, a hundred thousand years was barely any time at all.

Three living Venerable Realm Cultivators, they obtained the thunder bone of the thunder beast back then. Would that not mean three terrifying Thunder Dao powerhouses emerged?

“The Dao of Thunder has been the Dao of the strong since ancient times. Masters who Cultivate the Dao of Thunder are inherently stronger.”

“If the Holy Domain really gained three Venerable Realm powerhouses who Cultivated the Dao of Thunder, they shouldn’t have disappeared for over a hundred thousand years.”

Yaochi’s words made everyone pause.

Including Martial Uncle Yuan Dao.

Martial Uncle Yuan Dao couldn't help but size up Yaochi, this exquisitely beautiful woman, who knew so much?

Her background was not simple!

Yaochi’s identity, apart from Li Tongshen who was present, was only known to Shen Tianxing. Martial Uncle Yuan Dao and the others naturally had no right to know.

Martial Uncle Yuan Dao’s expression changed slightly, and he no longer dared to act like a Senior in front of Yaochi.

A woman of extraordinary origin, who knows what terrifying existence is behind her? It’s better to be cautious.

“Miss Yaochi, your insight is sharp. You are right.”

Hmm?

This time, it was Yuan Fei and Shen Qingling’s turn to be surprised.

What was wrong with Martial Uncle Yuan Dao?

Normally, he was incredibly arrogant, a person who would not easily lower his voice.

Now, facing Yaochi, he surprisingly showed a rare… solemnity?

“Junior Martial Uncle, quickly tell us, who did that thunder bone ultimately fall into the hands of?”

Shen Qingling was eager to know, very curious.

With three Venerable Realm powerhouses fighting over a thunder bone, that thunder beast was certainly doomed, as it hadn’t yet entered the Venerable Realm!

And according to Yaochi, that thunder bone would surely create a Venerable Realm Cultivator proficient in the Dao of Thunder, and terrifyingly strong!

So who got it?

“No one got it!”

What!

Everyone was stunned!

“How could that be? Mr. Yuan Dao, surely you misspoke? That was three Venerable Realm Cultivators making a move, and the thunder beast perished, didn’t it? How could they not have gotten the thunder bone?”

Even Li Tongshen, who was watching the excitement, couldn’t help but put down his wine cup and ask.

This was what everyone else wanted to know too.

Martial Uncle Yuan Dao looked at their expressions, then slowly said,

“The thunder beast died, but before its death, it used some unknown means to hide that thunder bone.”

“No one got the thunder bone; it simply vanished right in front of the three Venerable Realm Cultivators!”
