Chapter 128: Chu Xin: Thunder Beasts? I Haven’t Tried Them Yet

“Again?”

“So, this isn’t the first time these two brats have done this?”

“With the strength of these two brats, they are probably the number one prodigies of their province. Does that mean they have at least four provincial secret realm maps in their hands?”

Thinking of this, the eyes of the numerous prodigies looking at Chu Xin and Chu Chen all carried a trace of greed.

Provincial secret realm maps are only available to the number one prodigy of each province, and the opportunities on them are naturally the most abundant.

If they could obtain them, perhaps they could find treasures no worse than Stone Milk, or even far exceeding Stone Milk.

However, thinking of the tragic end of the two Young Saber Saints, the numerous prodigies couldn’t help but shiver.

The brats are too strong, it’s better not to provoke them.

With this in mind, the numerous prodigies successively tore through the void and left, even their original desire to snatch the Stone Milk dissipated without a trace.

“Big Brother, take a look quickly, is there a Middle Province teleportation gate?”

Chu Chen flashed to Long Shaoyu, handed over the two provincial secret realm maps, and asked with a look of anticipation.

“Alright!”

Long Shaoyu took the two maps, and carefully examined them together with the previous four maps.

Chu Xin, holding the two-headed little pig, arrived in a flash, glanced at them, and asked, “Big Brother, did you find it?”

“There is no location of the Middle Province teleportation gate on these.” Long Shaoyu shook his head.

“Still not there.”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen were immediately filled with disappointment.

Long Shaoyu raised his head, glanced at the two, and smiled, “Don’t worry, as long as we collect all nine provincial secret realm maps, we will definitely find the Middle Province teleportation gate. Although the new map formed after piecing them together doesn’t have the Middle Province teleportation gate, there is a place of opportunity even bigger than Divine Saber Valley and Divine Sword Pavilion. Perhaps the remaining three maps can be found there.”

“Where is it? Let’s go quickly, we can’t let them get away.”

Chu Xin urged impatiently.

“Right, right, right, the sooner we collect the maps, the sooner we can go to Middle Province… to play!”

Chu Chen almost blurted out the truth, but fortunately, he changed his words in time.

“Keep up!”

Long Shaoyu nodded and led everyone to tear through the void and leave.

Two days later, the group appeared in front of a large mountain wrapped in lightning.

These lightning bolts were of five colors: purple, white, black, blue, and red.

At this time, countless prodigies had already gathered around the mountain.

“Big Brother, where is this? Why are there so many lightning bolts?”

Chu Chen stared with his big round eyes and asked curiously.

“So pretty.”

Chu Xin also blinked her big eyes, staring at the mountain filled with five kinds of lightning in a daze.

They had never seen such a peculiar place before.

“Five Thunders Mountain. At the top of the mountain, there is a Five Thunders Tree. The Five Thunders Tree has only five branches in total, and each branch is filled with a different color of lightning. At the same time, the direction pointed to by each of these five branches is also filled with the same color of lightning, dividing the entire mountain into five areas.”

Long Shaoyu explained. This was all recorded by the elders in his family and in ancient books. He only knew about it but had never seen it.

Chu Xin stared at Five Thunders Mountain for a moment and asked with a look of anticipation, “Will it bear fruit? Is it tasty?”

Long Shaoyu nodded and said, “The Five Thunders Tree will bear Five Thunders Fruits, one on each branch. After refining and absorbing them, one can forge the corresponding Thunder Spirit Body and comprehend the corresponding lightning laws. It is a treasure that lightning cultivators dream of.”

◈◈◈

“Five Thunders Fruit?”

Chu Chen’s eyes lit up, “Sister, we haven’t tried them yet.”

“Yes, yes! It sounds delicious.”

The drool at the corner of Chu Xin’s mouth flowed out uncontrollably again. She quickly stuck out her little tongue to roll back the drool that had just flowed out and urged impatiently, “Big Brother, let’s go quickly, or the fruits will be snatched away by others.”

The square-faced youth and the young archer couldn’t help but roll their eyes. These two brats couldn’t let go of their foodie nature no matter where they went.

Long Shaoyu was a little speechless. He rubbed his forehead and said, “The Five Thunders Fruits are not yet ripe. Only when the lightning on Five Thunders Mountain shrinks to the top and is completely absorbed by the Five Thunders Fruits will the Five Thunders Fruits ripen. According to ancient records, Five Thunders Fruits cannot be eaten directly. They must be refined with a secret technique to absorb their energy. If taken directly, one will be blasted to death by the terrifying lightning contained within.”

The Five Thunders Fruits were actually useless to him. He cultivated both fire and sword, and lightning treasures didn’t have much appeal to him.

But he knew very well that these two brats didn’t care about whether the attributes matched or not, they only cared about whether it was tasty or not.

The energy contained in the Five Thunders Fruits was stronger than that of the God Sword Fruit and Divine Saber Milk. He was really worried that these two brats would rashly eat the Five Thunders Fruits and be blasted to pieces by the violent lightning. Then his plan to compete for the greatest opportunity would be ruined.

“Oh!”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen nodded, but their eyes were darting around, obviously not taking Long Shaoyu’s words to heart.

Long Shaoyu shook his head secretly and looked up at the many prodigies sitting cross-legged near Five Thunders Mountain.

Most of these prodigies were in groups of two or three, but only one person sat alone above the top of Five Thunders Mountain.

The top of the mountain was the closest place to the Five Thunders Tree. Logically speaking, it should be a place of fierce competition. However, that person was sitting alone here, yet he was safe and sound. Obviously, his strength was much stronger than the other prodigies.

“Young Thunder Saint, Lei Wanjun.”

Long Shaoyu’s gaze focused, his eyes extremely solemn.

Although they were both among the Ten Young Martial Saints, Liu Zhentian, Li Yunfei, Hua Wuqing, Lang Tianya, and he were only at the Initial Stage Martial Saint realm, while this Lei Wanjun had already reached the Middle Stage Martial Saint realm. His strength was much stronger than theirs.

If it were a one-on-one fight, he really wouldn’t be a match for this Lei Wanjun.

Perhaps sensing Long Shaoyu’s gaze, Lei Wanjun, who was sitting cross-legged above the top of Five Thunders Mountain, suddenly turned his head to look.

His features were handsome, his skin was fair, and his eyes flashed with dazzling lightning.

Long Shaoyu quickly turned his head away and looked at Chu Xin and Chu Chen beside him, thinking to himself, “With these two brats working together, they should be able to defeat Lei Wanjun.”

If they couldn’t even defeat Lei Wanjun, then there would be no need to compete for the greatest opportunity.

“Huh?”

Suddenly, Chu Xin exclaimed in surprise. She vaguely saw some prodigies flashing in Five Thunders Mountain. She couldn’t help but raise her head and ask doubtfully, “Big Brother, didn’t you say that these lightning bolts need to be absorbed before the fruits will ripen? Why did those guys go up the mountain so early?”

Long Shaoyu explained, “These people are not going to snatch the Five Thunders Fruits, but to enter Five Thunders Mountain to hunt Thunder Beasts and absorb the lightning power of the Thunder Beasts for cultivation.”

“Thunder Beasts?”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen’s eyes lit up instantly.

Long Shaoyu nodded and said, “That’s right. Although the lightning power contained in Thunder Beasts is not as good as that of Five Thunders Fruits, it is also a rare treasure for lightning cultivators. Those people know that they don’t have the strength to compete for the Five Thunders Fruits, so they settle for the next best thing and go to hunt Thunder Beasts. It’s better than getting nothing and losing their lives. However, Thunder Beasts are also very powerful. The closer they are to the Five Thunders Tree, the stronger the Thunder Beasts.”

“I haven’t eaten Thunder Beasts yet.” Drool flowed from the corner of Chu Xin’s mouth again.

“I haven’t grilled Thunder Beasts yet.” Chu Chen’s chubby little hands were itching to try.

Long Shaoyu: “……”
