Thunder Island, Furious Thunder Peak.

[Nine Heavens Divine Thunder·Experience +1]

In the narrow Enlightenment Cave, Wang Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes were a deep blue color, streaks of electricity flickering within them unpredictably, illuminating the dim cave.

The next moment, Wang Chen blinked, and the strange condition of his thunder eyes disappeared.

He summoned the immortal cultivation panel.

[Nine Heavens Divine Thunder (Minor Achievement): 299/300]

At last, it was full.

He couldn’t help but take a long breath.

Three months ago, Wang Chen arrived at Thunder Island, three thousand miles away from West Sea City.

This large island, remote from the sect’s core, endures a baptism of thunder every day of the year, all three hundred and sixty-five days of it.

A forbidden zone for living creatures.

But also a treasure land for cultivating thunder magic.

When he first arrived at Thunder Island, Wang Chen’s Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Technique was just at the beginner level.

After three months of diligent and arduous practice, he was just one step away from the Great Achievement Realm.

Reflecting on the hardships of these three months, Wang Chen felt quite emotional.

The difficulty of cultivating this ancient thunder magic was infuriatingly high; with his current Root Bone and Comprehension at 7 points, he could only reach the level of proficiency.

Proficiency to Minor Achievement was accomplished through added points.

Now, from Minor to Great Achievement…

Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chen immediately invested 10 Human Virtue points.

Boom!

It was as if he had instantly breached some blockade in his Divine Soul, and a myriad of ingenious thoughts emerged in his Sea of Consciousness, naturally deepening his mastery and understanding of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Technique.

“Charge!”

With a sudden light scold, Wang Chen’s gaze concentrated, and a streak of lightning abruptly materialized out of thin air, striking precisely upon a stone stool.

A “crack” sound was heard, and the dark gray stone stool was instantly split in two.

Such was the power in the Great Achievement Realm!

You should know that this was no ordinary stone stool, but one carved from rocks that had been struck by thunder for many years, inherently possessing a strong resistance to lightning.

Without even using his full strength, Wang Chen managed to split it, testifying to the incredible power of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Technique!

Wang Chen was extremely satisfied and got up to leave the Enlightenment Cave.

This Enlightenment Cave was only about five square feet in size and situated within the rocky body of the peak, which made it very cramped, but its proximity to the thunder-dense summit made it an ideal place for cultivating thunder magic.

There were a total of three hundred and seventy-six Enlightenment Caves within Furious Thunder Peak, interconnected by passageways, dedicated for the West Sea Sect disciples to contemplate and practice thunder magic, or to temper their thunder-attributed magic artifacts.

Practicing here wasn’t free; as an Inner Sect Disciple of the West Sea Sect, Wang Chen had to pay five Merit Points every day.

In three months, nearly five hundred Merit Points were gone.

But being able to cultivate the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Technique to the Great Achievement Realm, let alone five hundred Merit Points, even five thousand would be completely worthwhile.

Since the birth of this thunder technique, no cultivator has reached such a high level of spell mastery in such a short time; if word of Wang Chen’s cultivation progress were to spread, even the Nascent Soul True Immortals in the sect might seek him out for a discussion.

To see just what kind of a marvel Wang Chen is!

In addition to achieving Great Achievement in thunder magic, through these three months of strenuous practice, Wang Chen further purified the mana within his body and tempered his spirit.

Although he was still at the second tier of the Purple Mansion, his Taoist Foundation was now more solid, already meeting the requirements for advancing to the third tier.

As a cultivator reaching the Purple Mansion tier, solidifying one’s foundation is crucial, otherwise one can forget about condensing a Golden Core.

Wang Chen’s expectations for his future stretched far beyond just becoming a True Person!

Passing through the narrow passageway and then descending the stairs, Wang Chen arrived at the Yuan Cultivation Cave.

Unlike the five-foot square Enlightenment Cave, the Yuan Cultivation Cave was carved out of the belly of a mountain, capable of accommodating thousands of people. Although it was still deprived of daylight, the inside was arranged with pavilions, towers, exotic flowers, and rare grasses, and there even were small bridges over flowing streams.

This place served as the spot for leisure, entertainment, and communication among the West Sea Sect disciples who came to cultivate on Thunder Island!

Cultivating Thunder Magic was different from the usual practice, as it involved absorbing not just the nature’s spiritual energy, but also the Thunder Power.

It presented an enormous challenge to one’s physique and willpower.

Even a cultivator with the most resolute mind couldn’t possibly stay in the Enlightenment Cave, filled with Thunder Power, for twelve hours a day.

No matter how strong the will, the body couldn’t endure it.

Thus, there was a need for a place to relax and unwind. After all, the path of cultivation was about alternating tension with relaxation.

When Wang Chen arrived at the Yuan Cultivation Cave, there were three to four hundred people present.

It was quite lively.

Apart from the West Sea Sect disciples, there were also their attendants and maids, as well as cultivators and servants residing on Thunder Island.

The Yuan Cultivation Cave not only provided places for leisure and entertainment but also had guest rooms and baths, drawing underground hot spring water for people to bathe in.

It also offered Spirit Food dining.

The prices were quite expensive.

Having achieved Great Achievement in Thunder Magic, and with a joyful heart coupled with a ravenous hunger from a day of cultivation, Wang Chen ordered a luxurious version of the Spirit Food set to reward his stomach.

“Junior Brother Wang.”

Just as Wang Chen was enjoying his meal, a female cultivator with a face as beautiful as a lotus and bright red lips and white teeth approached him with a smile and greeted him.

“Senior Sister Wu.”

Wang Chen set down his chopsticks and greeted her with a fist and palm salute.

This female cultivator named Wu Yanqiu, just like Wang Chen, was an Inner Sect disciple of the West Sea Sect.

She had been an inner disciple longer than Wang Chen, with her cultivation at the fourth tier of the Purple Mansion.

Although Wang Chen wasn’t keen on socializing and focused on cultivating techniques, since arriving on Thunder Island, he had gotten to know a few fellow sect members with whom he could exchange a few words.

Wu Yanqiu was one of them.

This Purple Mansion female cultivator came from a distinguished background and had an open and straightforward personality, making her quite popular among the cultivators on Thunder Island.

“Senior Sister Wu, is there something you need from me?”

Wang Chen was somewhat puzzled because he was not at all familiar with Wu Yanqiu, having only spoken to her a few times before.

He wondered why she was seeking him out today.

Seating herself opposite him, Wu Yanqiu offered a charming smile and said, “Junior Brother Wang, please finish your meal first, we can talk after that.”

“Uh.”

Wang Chen felt a bit embarrassed and had no choice but to quicken his pace, wolfing down the remaining food in short order.

He called over a maidservant to clear away the bowls, chopsticks, and plates, and then had them bring up some Spiritual Tea.

After the maidservant left, Wu Yanqiu waved her hand and erected a Mana Barrier to isolate their conversation.

She asked, “Junior Brother Wang, do you know about Thunderbeasts?”

Wang Chen nearly spat out his tea.

Because Wu Yanqiu’s demeanor and tone of voice at that moment were strikingly similar to a multilevel marketing lady he had encountered in his previous life, “Mr. Wang, do you know about Amway?”

“Cough, cough!”

Wang Chen couldn’t help swallowing hard, saying with a wry smile, “Senior Sister, please speak your mind.”

Having spent three months on Thunder Island, how could he not know about Thunderbeasts?

Thunderbeasts were not Monster Beasts, but creatures born from the power of thunder, containing Thundercores that were considered heavenly treasures. They could be used to assist in the practice of Thunder Magic, or to forge Thunder Attribute Magic Artifacts and Magical Treasures.

Thunder Island was riddled with unending, astonishingly powerful thunder, which naturally meant the existence of Thunderbeasts!
