Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

Hu Qing and Gu Yang sat under a tree, the information in their hands wrinkled from reading it.

They planned to harvest more thunder beads when night fell to enhance their strength.

The other cultivators are all cultivating, so if I go up the mountain to enjoy the thunder beast alone at this time, wouldn't it be a great harvest?

Just as they were about to get up and enter Thunder Mountain, many monks suddenly rushed into the door of the gathering point.

They walked in a hurry, with expressions of nervousness and fear on their faces.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang looked at each other and saw curiosity in each other's eyes.

The two stood by, as if these monks were all rushing to the center, and they looked curiously at the center of the gathering point.

A thick metal pole was erected there, driven straight into the ground, and people around it set up a wooden fence four meters away from the pole.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang were a little confused, but their intuition told them that something unusual was about to happen here.

We still have to go with the flow, wait and see what happens.

The lights in all the tents at the gathering point were turned off, and the monks found places to sit, but away from buildings and trees.

Gu Yang looked up at the trees above his head and found that they were the only ones standing under the trees in the entire gathering place. He couldn't help feeling a little scared.

He pulled Hu Qing to find an open space nearby and sat down, waiting for what was about to happen.

After waiting for a while, the whole sky was suddenly filled with lightning and thunder, and dozens of lightning bolts fell from the sky and struck the metal pole.

"Boom!"

The dull thunder traveled from the pole to the ground, spreading in all directions, and the ground also made a dull response.

Gu Yang could feel the power of thunder and lightning even while sitting on the ground. A black pit was also struck under the tree where the two of them had just stood, which made them feel scared.

Only then did they understand why the monks stayed away from trees and buildings. The power of lightning should not be underestimated.

Both of them gave up the idea of taking advantage of the situation at night. Looking at the thunder and lightning, if they went up the mountain now, they would probably be killed.

Lightning bolts from the sky struck the surroundings one after another, but fortunately these monks were well prepared and there were no casualties.

The spiritual energy nearby also became active due to the thunder and lightning. The monks were all meditating and practicing. Hu Qing and Gu Yang suppressed their trembling and entered the state of practice.

The thunder in my ears continued throughout the night, but fortunately not a drop of rain fell from the sky.

Hu Qing closed his eyes and could feel the power of thunder and lightning flowing in the air.

There was a force stirring in his body, as if it wanted to resonate with the power of thunder and lightning in the outside world.

He took a deep breath and began to guide this power to flow through his body. Every time it flowed, he felt his physical strength grow.

The roar of thunder and lightning echoed in their ears, like a war drum between heaven and earth, inspiring them to keep moving forward.

The two people's cultivation was carried out in the baptism of thunder and lightning, and their souls were purified in the roar of thunder and lightning.

As time went by, the thunder and lightning gradually weakened and the surroundings gradually became quiet.

When the first ray of sunlight dispelled the heavy clouds, revealing a rosy sky, Hu Qing and Gu Yang slowly opened their eyes.

Both of them gained a lot, but sitting all night still made them feel uncomfortable.

The two men stood up and stretched their bodies, and the gathering point returned to its former bustle.

The monks have come back to their senses from last night's baptism of thunder and lightning, and set up their stalls again. The cries of hawking can be heard one after another, as if last night's thunder and lightning were just a normal performance.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang looked around and only then did they truly feel the horror of thunder and lightning.

The surrounding trees were chopped and charred, the wooden fence near the metal pole had turned into charcoal, and the ground was full of gullies, as if it had been scratched by the claws of a giant beast.

The two looked at each other and saw a hint of relief in each other's eyes.

If I hadn't found a place to sit down in time last night, I would probably have become a victim of lightning.

They looked around and found that many monks had already headed to Thunder Mountain together, so they walked straight out of the gathering point.

The two found the entrance to the mountain according to the map in the intelligence and walked up the mountain.

The ground around them became loose due to thunder and lightning, making a rustling sound when stepped on.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang did not choose the main road, but instead took a different route and found a small path up the mountain.

The main road marked in the intelligence indicated that many people had passed through it, and the thunder beasts there had probably been hunted to extinction, making it difficult to obtain any more.

They were walking on a small path, surrounded by bare trees, and it was obvious that they had been frequently struck by lightning.

Occasionally, the howling of thunder beasts could be heard from the mountains, making them nervous.

The thunder beasts in Thunder Mountain are not only numerous but also powerful. If you are not careful, you may become their prey.

After walking for a while, a thunder beast shaped like a cat suddenly jumped down from the tree and went straight to Hu Qing's neck.

Gu Yang reacted quickly, picked up the Soul-Devouring Blade and slashed at the thunder beast.

When the blade was about to touch it, the thunder beast turned its body, changed direction in the air, and fell to the ground.

Only then did Hu Qing see the thunder beast. Its overall appearance was purple-black, with lightning flashing between its fur.

It is now baring its teeth and its front paws are already showing sharp claws.

The thunder beast howled and continued to rush towards Hu Qing. Its body was agile and its speed was so fast that it arrived in front of Hu Qing in the blink of an eye.

A trace of solemnity flashed in Hu Qing's eyes. This was a fourth-level thunder beast, and it looked like it had not eaten for a long time.

He quickly retreated and drew the king sword from his waist, with a faint light flashing on the sword.

When they were about to hit the thunder beast again, it twisted away again. Hu Qing and Gu Yang felt helpless as they watched its coquettish movements.

This thunder beast is extremely fast and you have to use all your strength to hit it.

Gu Yang also tightly grasped the Soul Devouring Blade, and a hint of calmness appeared in his eyes.

Although the thunder beast in front of him was fast, it always had flaws.

He watched for the thunder beast's attack rhythm, ready to deliver a fatal blow during its next attack.

The thunder beast rushed towards Hu Qing again. Its speed was as fast as lightning, making it almost impossible to catch.

Hu Qing took a deep breath and performed the "Shadow Sword Technique". His body became extremely flexible at this moment.

The long sword drew sword shadows in the air, trying to block the thunder beast's attack.

Gu Yang was looking for an opportunity on the side, his Soul-Devouring Blade gathering power in his hand, ready to attack at any time.

The thunder beast's attacks became more and more fierce, and Hu Qing and Gu Yang's defense became more and more difficult.

Sweat was oozing from their foreheads, but there was no fear in their eyes.

This thunder beast is only level four, but it is more difficult to deal with than a level five monster.

It seems that this thunder bead is not so easy to obtain, and some scratches have appeared on Hu Qing's body.

But fortunately, he has a puppet body and no blood is flowing.

Just when the thunder beast rushed towards Hu Qing again, Gu Yang found an opportunity.

"The first move of the Eight Blades of Breaking the Front, chop against the wind!"

His body rushed forward suddenly, and the Soul-Devouring Blade drew a graceful arc in the air, striking the Thunder Beast's back.

The thunder beast seemed to sense the danger and its speed suddenly increased in an attempt to avoid Gu Yang's attack.

However, Gu Yang's attack speed was faster.

The Soul-Devouring Blade drew a dazzling light in the air and accurately struck the back of the Thunder Beast.

The thunder beast let out a shrill howl, its body rolled in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Hu Qing did not miss this opportunity. He rushed forward quickly, pointing his sword at the thunder beast's throat.

The Thunder Beast's body twitched and then stopped moving.

The two men stood beside the corpse of the thunder beast, their breathing a little rapid, but their eyes flashed with excitement.

At this moment, the corpse emitted a dazzling light, and in the surprised eyes of the two people, it slowly disappeared and turned into a ray of light flying to the top of the mountain.

Hu Qing squatted down and picked up a ball of black light on the ground.

These are all thunder beads. Roughly speaking, there should be about two hundred of them.

The thunder bead emits a faint light. When you hold it in your hand, you can feel the powerful power of thunder and lightning contained in it.

"A Qing, is this the thunder bead? It looks so small." Gu Yang took a thunder bead and played with it in his hand.

"It's small, but cute. Collect them and convert them into points when you have enough." Hu Qing said, looking at the direction where the light of the thunder beast disappeared.

The two men packed up their spoils and continued up the mountain along the path.

The trees around were getting shorter and shorter, and some were even reduced to charcoal.

Lightning struck from the sky, and the forest fire it caused was extinguished before it even started. There was nothing left around that could burn.

They left deep footprints in the charred soil, and each step was accompanied by the roar of thunder and the roar of thunder beasts in the distance.

The higher you go in the mountains, the more frequent the lightning strikes, so you have to pay attention to the sky at all times.

Along the way, they encountered many second and third-grade thunder beasts. Although these thunder beasts were agile, they were easily dealt with by Gu Yang's Soul-Devouring Blade as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

After each battle, they could see the corpse of the thunder beast transform into light and fly to the top of the mountain, and then harvest more or less thunder beads.

Gu Yang collected the thunder beads one by one. They had already obtained more than 400 thunder beads, which was undoubtedly a huge fortune for them now.

When harvesting so many thunder beads, the two also discovered a pattern.

A first-level thunder beast can only get ten thunder beads, a second-level thunder beast can get fifty, a third-level thunder beast can get one hundred, and a fourth-level thunder beast can get two hundred.

They haven't encountered a fifth-level monster yet, but even if they do, they can't defeat it, let alone get the thunder bead.

When they reached halfway up the mountain, Hu Qing suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.

This was not just a momentary urge as before, but a continuous and obviously greater danger.

"Brother Gu, run, run quickly, get away from here!" he shouted loudly.

But before they could make any move, rays of light suddenly appeared on the ground around them, forming a complex formation that trapped the two of them tightly.

A trace of panic flashed in Gu Yang's eyes. He tried to struggle, but found that his strength became insignificant under the constraints of the formation.

He turned to look at Hu Qing, but found that Hu Qing's face was equally ugly.

Obviously, they fell into a carefully laid trap.
