Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1565 - 829: Sea of Thunder

Grandmaster Hu and Master Ding stared wide-eyed at the astonishing spectacle unfolding before them.

Li Shiming was mounted atop the fearsome Fourth Grade Late Stage spirit beast.

Right then, they managed to get a clear view of the Thunder Beast's form and identify exactly what kind of creature it was.

"Is that a Thunder Beast?" Master Ding gulped nervously and whispered.

"Yes, it is a Thunder Beast. It looks like Shizhen has tamed another Thunder Beast as his Spirit Pet!" Grandmaster Hu responded with a bitter smile.

Having dedicated his life to the study of spirit beasts as a Great Cultivator of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, Grandmaster Hu knew full well the overwhelming might of legendary Divine Beasts such as the Thunder Beast, which were fabled to stand equal to the Dragon and Phoenix.

The fabled Dragon and Phoenix of old were nothing like the Dragons and Phoenixes of today; the current versions merely inherited traces of the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan bloodlines. Those ancient mythical beings were pure Divine Beasts, with the power to rend the heavens and shatter the earth.

That said, by pushing the cultivation realms of modern Dragon and Phoenix Spirit Pets to their absolute limits, it could be possible to revive the majestic splendor of true Divine Beast Dragons and Phoenixes.

"Master, did you track it all the way here?" Spotting the two Great Cultivators, Li Shiming steered the Thunder Beast toward Grandmaster Hu and inquired.

Their abrupt appearance, along with the earlier messages he'd received, made it clear that they'd pursued the Thunder Beast straight to this place.

Considering the Thunder Beast's formidable aura and the emergence of such a dreadful entity on the Dongqi Continent, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect—as the continent's dominant force—had every reason to investigate.

"What's the story here? Is this really a Thunder Beast?" Grandmaster Hu questioned in shock, gazing at the nearby Thunder Beast.

Li Shiming's growing strength directly fortified the Ten Thousand Beast Sect's overall power. The further he progressed, the more imposing the sect's influence appeared to the outside world.

"Yes, it's a Thunder Beast. I called it forth, and it'll remain at my side from now on!" Li Shiming replied, softly caressing the Thunder Beast's neck.

"Your accomplishments leave me speechless!" Grandmaster Hu sighed with deep feeling.

Li Shiming had shattered Grandmaster Hu's expectations time and again, and now even legendary Divine Beasts were becoming his Spirit Pets.

For most other sects, a Divine Beast Spirit Pet would simply boost their combat abilities, but for the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, the effects were magnified many times over.

After all, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect depended on Spirit Pets for battle support and held an intense, almost fanatical affection for exceptionally strong ones.

"No matter what, I'm still your disciple and a cultivator of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect!" Li Shiming said, flashing a reassuring smile.

"I'm getting too emotional about this!" Grandmaster Hu chuckled in reply.

"Master, Brother Ding, why not come inside the cave to rest a bit?" Li Shiming invited the two Great Cultivators.

"No thanks, we have pressing duties ahead; keep your focus on cultivation!" Grandmaster Hu and Master Ding exchanged a glance, and Grandmaster Hu brushed off the invitation with a wave.

The Ten Thousand Beast Sect's responsibilities piled up endlessly; they couldn't spare a moment for relaxation.

Even amid their hectic schedules, though, they had no intention of dragging Li Shiming into such minor chores.

To them, Li Shiming brimmed with tremendous potential, so they had to grant him plenty of undisturbed time for cultivation.

Every Great Cultivator, Grandmaster Hu among them, nurtured a grand ambition—could Li Shiming ever attain the Mahayana Realm?

Should Li Shiming one day ascend to Great Power status, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect might rocket into the ranks of superpowers.

Regardless of how remote the chances seemed, none of the Great Cultivators would allow trivial matters to hinder Li Shiming.

After bidding farewell to the two Great Cultivators, Li Shiming spent a bit more time frolicking with the Thunder Beast.

He gazed at the Thunder Beast, mulling over the best way to house it.

Any of his Grotto Heavens could serve as a home for the Thunder Beast; he owned plenty, and could even partition off a special area in those he commanded.

But after pondering the options, a new thought struck him.

With a simple wave of his hand, Li Shiming and the Thunder Beast suddenly materialized inside the Thunder Cave Heaven.

The Thunder Cave Heaven contained just a vast thundercloud; everything else had been wiped out by the lack of foundational rules.

In the passing days, fueled by a steady influx of rich Spiritual Energy, the thundercloud had steadily swelled in size, while the lightning's ferocity intensified as well.

Li Shiming harbored no particular designs for the Thunder Cave Heaven, since he'd already grasped the Five Elements Rules within the Half-Life Cave Heaven, which also sustained the Thunder Rules.

He had no desire to squander his scarce exotic treasures on the Thunder Cave Heaven; even if he did, it would scarcely recreate another Half-Life Cave Heaven, which couldn't compare to the superior Thunder Rules inherent to this realm.

He had led the Thunder Beast into the Thunder Cave Heaven precisely because tales described these legendary beasts as dwellers of immense Seas of Lightning.

Through his recent interactions with the Thunder Beast, he had begun to discern its remarkable qualities.

The Thunder Beast perpetually generated Thunder Energy in its core, and even when dashing or striking in battle depleted those reserves, it could swiftly regenerate them.

If the Thunder Beast was capable of producing Thunder Energy, then perhaps it could amplify the Thunder Energy in the Thunder Cave Heaven, in turn promoting the advancement of the Thunder Rules.

One had to remember that the Thunder Rules in the Thunder Cave Heaven originated from the insights of half-step Great Power Yang Xing, drawn from the 'Yuqing Thunder Scripture' and the Yuqing Sect's heritage—far from the supreme embodiment of Thunder Rules.

More than likely, this setup marked only the initial stage for the Thunder Rules, with their further development hinging on the Thunder Cave Heaven's own progression.

The Half-Life Cave Heaven served as an illustrative example here; yet it embodied a rudimentary take on Thunder Rules, devoid of the refined expertise held by a half-step Great Power Thunder Cultivator from the Yuqing Sect.
