Dark clouds loomed over the city. The wind was howling and the rain was pouring down. The cold rain fell on the sea, stirring up some mist.
"Whoosh ~"
Two golden chariots whooshed across the sky. Lu Li and Hu Lang were on one and Gu Min and the five patriarchs of the Gu Family were on the other. They flew toward the west.
"Boom, boom, boom ~"
Even though it was daytime, the sky in the west was as dark as night.
Within the black clouds, furious dragons were roaring and scuttling. Small arcs of lightning were dancing in the sky like ferocious centipedes. Although they hadn't gotten close, an extremely stifling aura had already spread over, causing the elders of the Gu Clan to not dare to move forward.
"Spread out and have a look around!"
Hu Lang waved his hand. The Gu Family warriors didn't want to get close to the thunderstorm. As soon as Hu Lang said so, they put away their chariots and flew to different directions to have a look.
Lu Li and Hu Lang moved forward. The rain was getting heavier. The gale slowed down the chariots.
The chariots had a shield so Lu Li and Hu Lang wouldn't be drenched.
"Right here?"
Hu Lang saw how horrifying the thunderstorm was. Countless thunderbolts were shooting down from the sky into the sea. It was as if the thunderbolts were connected to the sea. If they went into the thunderstorm, they would be blasted into nothingness.
"A bit closer!"
They were more than 20 miles away from the edge of the thunderstorm. Hu Lang couldn't feel the power of the thunderbolts clearly. Hu Lang was afraid that something might happen to Lu Li so he was being more cautious. Lu Li, on the other hand, knew that he was still in a safe area.
Hu Lang had to keep moving forward. After another 14 miles, Hu Lang didn't want to go any further.
Lu Li didn't force him. The electric arcs were everywhere. If he went any closer, he would be in trouble. The thunderbolts were so fast that he wouldn't even be able to run away.
"Squeak, squeak ~"
A small beast crawled out from Lu Li's sleeve. Its eyes were still in a daze. Clearly, it was woken up by the roar of thunder.
Lu Li patted Little White's head lovingly. Little White didn't pay attention to Lu Li. It stared at the thunderstorm, its eyes glistening.
"Whoosh ~"
All of a sudden, Little White dashed toward the thunderstorm in a blur. Lu Li and Hu Lang were taken aback.
Lu Li wanted to yell for Little White to come back but he thought of something. He shut his mouth but he was still nervous.
"Young Master Li, do you need me to chase her back for you?" Hu Lang asked anxiously. Did this little thing take the wrong medicine?
He actually dared to rush into the thunderstorm area?
"No need!"
Lu Li waved his hand. Little White had been refined by thunderbolts in the Ding of Barbarian God for more than half a year. Its physical body should be strong. Since it dared to go into the thunderstorm area, it must be confident.
"Boom!"
Whitey's body had just rushed into the thunderstorm area when it was instantly struck by a lightning bolt as thick as a head. Its small body was struck into the sea.
Lu Li's pupils contracted. He used psychic power to check at once.
"This …"
Hu Lang had already scanned the area with his spiritual will and a look of shock appeared on his face.
Under the sea, a white figure quickly flew up and charged proudly towards a huge bolt of lightning. That pair of small eyes sparkled, as if that wasn't a terrifying bolt of lightning, but the most delicious food.
"This little thing is too abnormal!"
Seeing Whitey being blasted down time and time again, only to fly back up again and again, Hu Lang was a little speechless.
In the Inferno, Little White could survive a strike from the Fire Leopard King. Hu Lang and the others already had a whole new level of respect for Little White. Now, they were even more astonished.
After a while, Hu Lang asked Lu Li, "Young Master Li, is this little beast a Beast King?"
"In terms of defense, it should be close to that of a Beast King."
Lu Li gave an ambiguous answer. He didn't know much about Little White himself. All he knew was that Little White must have mutated after being modified by divine energy.
As for how far Little White could go in the future, nobody could predict that.
Lu Li and Hu Lang stood in silence outside the thunderstorm, watching Little White being struck down again and again and coming back up again and again.
Gu Min and the patriarchs of the Gu Family didn't come back. Clearly, the area was safe and there were no powerful warriors lurking around.
There were no powerful warriors nearby. Who would be bored enough to come and watch such a horrifying thunderstorm? They would want to hide.
Lu Li looked at Little White for a while and decided to leave it alone. Thunderbolts could not kill Little White and it could do whatever it wanted.
Lu Li calmed himself down and observed the thunderbolts in the sky, trying to perceive something.
Profound Meanings were the embodiment of the laws of heaven and earth. Thunderbolts were one of the laws of heaven and earth, one of the most miraculous and powerful forces of nature.
If one could find something in it, one could learn a Profound Meaning.
Who would complain about having too many Profound Meanings?
The thunderstorm covered a wide area with a radius of hundreds of miles.
Dozens of miles ahead of them was filled with thunderbolts. The roar of thunder was deafening. Inside the thunderbolts, there was a horrifying energy. Needless to say, the horrifying energy contained in the thunderbolts could tear apart many weak creatures …
Seeing that Lu Li was staring at the thunderstorm, Hu Lang didn't disturb him. He went to check around.
He noticed patriarchs of the Gu Family and Gu Min were patrolling around. Hu Lang went back to the chariot, feeling relieved. He stood next to Lu Li and gazed at the sea of thunderbolts in the distance.
Naturally, Hu Lang knew that the sea of thunderbolts contained many powerful Profound Meanings. Even Gu Min and the patriarchs of the Gu Family knew, let alone Hu Lang.
However, Profound Meanings were not something that could be learned at one's will. One could spend years here, let alone a few days. If one could not learn anything, one would not be able to.
Hu Lang observed for a couple of hours but nothing changed. He didn't want to waste any more time. He closed his eyes and sat with his legs crossed to study the Profound Meanings he had learned before.
At his realm and age, everyone would understand that it was not wise to bite off more than one could chew.
Instead of looking for opportunities to learn new Profound Meanings, it was better to study the Profound Meanings from before. When the Profound Meaning was mastered to the extreme, the Profound Meaning could evolve.
For example, Ming Yu's Space Seal was an evolution of the "Force" he had learned before.
Low-level Profound Meanings could evolve to high-level ones, provided that the warrior had mastered the Profound Meaning to the extreme.
Before he knew it, it was night. Lu Li had been observing for a whole day without learning anything. He could tell that the violent thunderbolts contained miraculous laws and Profound Meanings but he could not capture any Profound Meaning. It was true that Profound Meanings could not be learned at one's will …
Little White was still jumping in and out of the sea excitedly. Lu Li could not leave Little White here so he had to keep it company.
He planned to sit here for a couple of days and go back when the Teleportation Formation was repaired.
The more powerful Little White was, the more powerful Hu Lang would be. Little White was not his spiritual beast, but it was no different from one.
In the middle of the night, Hu Lang suddenly opened his eyes and looked to the northeast. He was relieved to see that it was a patriarch of the Gu Family. He asked from the distance, "What is it?"
The patriarch of the Gu Family flew up and stood on the chariot. He cupped his fists to Lu Li and Hu Lang and said, "Thousands of miles to the northeast, there is a small island where many warriors have gathered.
Several Noble Lord Realm warriors of the Island of Tranquility are there. I think they have found some treasures. "
"Treasures?"
Lu Li and Hu Lang looked at each other. Lu Li murmured to himself, "What treasures can there be in the sea?"
