Chapter 250: Myriad Thunder Sect Saint

The Azure Lightning Secret Realm was essentially similar to a world, spanning nearly half the size of the Upper Realm. Therefore, even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal might not be able to explore every part of it within two years.

Rumble. At this moment, in the sky above the center of the Azure Lightning Secret Realm, rolling thunder and lightning were surging, striking towards a certain figure.

That figure's expression remained completely unchanged in the face of the lightning bombardment. With the full operation of his Cultivation Technique, one could see the approaching lightning being directly absorbed into the youth's body; the terrifying lightning couldn't even injure him in the slightest.

After absorbing the lightning for about an hour, the aura within the youth's body shook, and then bursts of golden light radiated from his body, making the originally gray sky become incomparably dazzling.

This huge commotion naturally caused all the experts within the entire Secret Realm to involuntarily look over, their expressions appearing extremely grave, including Wu Li and Nangong Wan.

The two, who were on their way, stopped and looked towards the central area of the Secret Realm. Wu Li said with a grave expression,

"What a terrifying aura. I fear someone has reached the Immortal King stage."

"Hmm."

Nangong Wan also nodded with a grave face. She was a Great Luo Golden Immortal Initial Stage, but before that aura, she felt like an ant, which showed just how powerful the other party's strength was.

After stopping for a while, Wu Li turned around and said,

"Alright, let's go. Presumably, the other party won't have any interaction with us."

"Hmm."

Nangong Wan also nodded in agreement. After all, the other party was an Immortal King, while one of them was a Great Luo Golden Immortal Initial Stage and the other a Golden Immortal Initial Stage. No matter how you looked at it, it was impossible for them to be involved with the other party.

Thinking of this, Wu Li and Nangong Wan continued to head towards the northern end. Although Nangong Wan did not know what was at the northern end of the Azure Lightning Secret Realm, since Wu Li wanted to go there, Nangong Wan naturally followed.

She didn't believe that a place visited by a person with five-colored Luck would be an unremarkable place.

Meanwhile, in the center of the Azure Lightning Secret Realm.

After the youth broke through to the Immortal King stage, his followers hurriedly rushed over to congratulate him.

"Congratulations to the Saint for breaking through to the Immortal King stage!"

"Keep it low-key. For this Saint to break through to the Immortal King stage was just a matter of time."

The youth said indifferently. Judging from the fact that his followers all had the cultivation of Grand Unity Golden Immortals, the youth's status could not be simple.

"Alright, you may move about on your own. This Saint has already attained the Immortal King stage; there is nothing in this Azure Lightning Secret Realm that can harm this Saint."

"Yes, Saint!"

The many followers on the side, upon hearing the youth's words, only hesitated for a moment, but soon nodded in agreement.

They also had their own matters to attend to; they only stayed by his side because of his identity as a Saint. But now that the Saint had spoken, they naturally wouldn't bore themselves by clinging on.

After the followers had all left, the Myriad Thunder Sect Saint looked towards the northern region of the Azure Lightning Secret Realm, his expression appearing extremely grave.

"It is rumored that gold lightning wood exists within the Azure Lightning Secret Realm. If I can find some to refine into an inner armor, that seems like a good thing."

The Myriad Thunder Sect Saint thought to himself. gold lightning wood had many uses. More importantly, the grade of gold lightning wood was mostly from the fifth to the seventh grade. If it could reach the seventh grade, then the inner armor refined from it could withstand even the attacks of an Immortal Sovereign.

Thinking of this, the Myriad Thunder Sect Saint no longer hesitated and began to search within the Azure Lightning Secret Realm. Although he was only in the Immortal King Early Stage, in the entire Azure Lightning Secret Realm, unless he encountered a Yao Beast at the Immortal King level, there was simply no danger to him.

Furthermore, most of the Yao Beasts in the Azure Lightning Secret Realm possessed autonomous consciousness. Unless one rashly intruded into their territory, they would generally not attack human Cultivators.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and over half a year had gone by. During these six months, Wu Li and Nangong Wan fought their way through, and after experiencing quite a few Yao Beast attacks and clashes with human Cultivators, they finally arrived at the northern end of the Azure Lightning Secret Realm.

The Yao Beasts mostly attacked directly, and were then slain by Nangong Wan with a single sword strike. Of course, only a very small number chose to retreat after sensing that Nangong Wan and Wu Li were not simple.

As for the Cultivators, upon seeing Nangong Wan, they coveted her beauty and chose to attack, only to be slain by the expressionless Nangong Wan with a single sword strike.

Getting back to the point, after arriving at the northern end, Nangong Wan looked at Wu Li and asked curiously,

"Fellow Daoist Wu, I wonder what exactly is in this northern region? It is actually worth you going to such great lengths to come here?"

Glancing at Nangong Wan, after some thought, Wu Li felt there was no need to hide it, and then slowly said,

"The northern end has terrain suitable for the growth of gold lightning wood."

"gold lightning wood!"

Hearing Wu Li's words, Nangong Wan's breathing involuntarily quickened. She naturally knew the value of gold lightning wood. Without exaggeration, even the lowest grade fifth-grade gold lightning wood, a thumb-sized piece, was worth tens of thousands of Medium Grade Immortal Crystals, not to mention that gold lightning wood always appeared on a large scale.

And just at this moment, Wu Li spoke.

"The gold lightning wood belongs to me, and the next item will belong to you."

Hearing Wu Li's words, Nangong Wan only hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

She naturally knew the value of the gold lightning wood, but she knew that Wu Li was more valuable than the gold lightning wood, and if it weren't for Wu Li, she wouldn't have been able to find the gold lightning wood either.

Regarding Nangong Wan's agreement, Wu Li was only surprised for a moment, but didn't say anything.

He was determined to obtain the gold lightning wood. If Nangong Wan had not agreed, he wouldn't have minded falling out with her. As for acting like a gentleman, in Wu Li's view, only strength was the most important thing.

"Since that is the case, then let us search."

Wu Li said slowly. Although he knew that gold lightning wood should exist in the northern end of the Azure Lightning Secret Realm, the size of the northern end could not be underestimated, and finding the gold lightning wood was not an easy task.

Just like that, the two began to search for a needle in a haystack in the northern end of the Azure Lightning Secret Realm, but Nangong Wan knew that it was only a matter of time before Wu Li found it.

Sure enough, after searching for about a month, the two finally found the gold lightning wood; no, to be precise, it was a gold lightning wood forest.

But looking at the golden thunder trees in front of them that were about half a meter tall, both Wu Li and Nangong Wan couldn't help but fall silent.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, according to the current situation, I fear the gold lightning wood will need at least ten thousand years to grow to the seventh grade. It is currently only the fifth grade. If we harvest it now, I fear the loss will be enormous."

Nangong Wan said with a serious expression. Upon hearing this, Wu Li nodded, but inwardly he began to ponder how he should raise the golden thunder trees in front of him to the seventh grade.

gold lightning wood was the purest section taken from the golden thunder tree, and fifth-grade gold lightning wood required ten thousand years, sixth-grade one hundred thousand years, and seventh-grade one million years.

Added to the fact that the growth of the golden thunder tree was extremely demanding, it was extremely difficult for the gold lightning wood to grow to the seventh grade.
