"The cave at the summit of Thunder Mountain, where only the Thunder Lizard King can reside." The Thunder Lizards on Thunder Mountain have a strict hierarchy based on strength, with their territories arranged from top to bottom. The peak is where the most powerful Thunder Energy resides, and it also symbolizes absolute power. How could the Thunder Lizard King possibly give up this position?

  Lin Ming's mind was racing, the black-clothed warrior had said that the Thunder Lizard liked to collect thunder-attributed treasures in caves, so the cave would have an exceptionally rich Thunder Force.

  If that's really the lair of the Thunder Beast, what would be inside?

  Lin Ming's mind was burning with thoughts as he realized this.

  But seeing the dozens of Thunder Lizards before the cave entrance, Lin Ming's heart was filled with apprehension. Any one of these Thunder Lizards could take his life, and if he were discovered, he would be dead without a place to bury his body.

  After a brief struggle between heaven and man in his heart, Lin Ming gritted his teeth, seeking wealth and honor in danger, and went all out!

  This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If the red-clothed woman hadn't appeared, Lin Ming wouldn't have had even half a chance of entering the Thunder Flood Dragon's cave even if he broke through to the First Heaven!

  Martial arts is a path fraught with danger, and judging from Lin Ming's current qualifications, strength, and resources, it won't be a problem for him to cultivate to the Extreme of the Innate or even higher realms in the future.

  But what about those who are even stronger? Compared to those powerful beings in the divine realm?

  Lin Ming was well aware that the Tian Yuan Continent alone had countless geniuses, and this universe probably had many worlds like the Tian Yuan Continent, with an uncountable number of geniuses.

  So many geniuses, some of whom were born into fourth-grade sects, fifth-grade sects, sixth-grade sects, or even divine realm sects or sacred lands. The resources they have are unimaginable, and they may have been thrown into a medicinal cauldron filled with heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the moment they were born. They received all sorts of cultivation, and their techniques were also the best. If they were in a divine realm or sacred land, the techniques they learned would not be inferior to their own!

  Apart from these talented individuals with good backgrounds, there are many other talents who have experienced various strange encounters. Various coincidences, in the world they live in, they are all protagonists of biographical stories!

  So many people, but how many have truly reached the pinnacle of martial arts?

  Lin Ming has never been overly humble, but he also hasn't been blindly arrogant. He knows that his journey is still long and his starting point isn't bad. However, whether or not he can reach the finish line is an unknown quantity!

  Xiu Wu's road is to fight against heaven for his life! Not a single moment of his time can be wasted, and not a single opportunity in front of him can be missed!

  Otherwise, when his lifespan becomes the limiting factor for his cultivation, he will be forced to shut himself in and rely on breaking through boundaries to extend his lifespan. At that time, his path of martial arts may also be nearing its end.

  Lin Ming gazed deeply at the intense battle in the sky. He took out a set of grey robes from the Xumi Ring and changed into them.

  The summit of Thunder Mountain had no snow, and was covered in grey magnetite ore. Wearing grey robes would be the least likely to draw attention.

  Relying on the realm of returning to simplicity and truth, Lin Ming gathered all his breath and slipped out from behind the boulder like a gray civet cat, silently and swiftly dashing towards the cave of the Thunderous Python.

  The battle in the sky continued, and no one noticed a tiny human approaching the cave at the top of the mountain. No one expected that he would have the audacity to sneak into the cave and steal the heavenly treasure with thunder properties.

  Lin Mingfei sprang to the cliff and attached himself to the rock wall with both hands, advancing swiftly like a gecko. He was still three or four miles away from the Lei Jiao cave, but Lin Ming's mental energy was highly concentrated, and this distance had already entered the danger zone. If a true yuan ripple from the battle in the air hit him, he would be dead for sure.

  Although he was being extremely cautious, Lin Ming's speed didn't slow down in the slightest. Time was life, and by the time the battle in the air ended and Lei Jue drove away the red-clothed woman to return to his cave, Lin Ming would be dead beyond dead!

  Fortunately, the red-clothed woman was extremely powerful and managed to hold her own against Lei Jiao and his minions in a fierce battle.

  Within a distance of thirty-four li, Lin Ming traversed it in only several dozen breaths. Next was the most crucial part - he had to enter the Thunder Flood Dragon's lair. However, at the entrance less than ten zhang away, a massive Thunder Lizard stood there. Its body was more than twice as large as the Blue Flood Dragon Lizard, and its skin was a deep, dark purple color!

  Purple Thunder Lizard, equivalent to a congenital Martial Beast!

  Lin Ming's eyelids twitched violently; this existence was so powerful that it could annihilate him with just a few breaths!

  Lin Ming leaned against a large stone, his eyes fixed on the dark cave entrance, his chest heaving violently. He was now only twenty zhang away from the cave, but these twenty zhang had become like an insurmountable chasm.

  He took another glance at the purple Thunder Lizard, which was now fully focused on the battle in the sky. The beast's senses were originally not sharp, and it had to divide its attention to help the Thunder Python fight while protecting the other Thunder Lizards, so it couldn't notice Lin Ming, who had retracted his aura.

  "Boom!"

  A huge red ball fell from the sky, and the purple thunder lizard and several other lizards held up a lightning net to resist the fireball's attack. However, the red-clothed woman's attack was too strong, and even though the purple thunder lizard used all its strength, it was still shaken violently, spitting out fresh blood.

  "Opportunity!"

  Lin Ming's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and the Golden Peng Breaking Void Body Technique was unleashed. Under the cover of the explosive flames, he shot into the cave entrance like an arrow!

  As Lin Ming's figure had just disappeared, the explosion also stopped. The purple thunder lizard was severely injured and didn't have the energy to notice if someone had rushed into the cave earlier.

  "He's in! He's in!" Lin Ming's mind echoed with this thought, his heart racing.

  Flying swiftly through the cave, this cave is not as dark and gloomy as imagined. The four walls of the cave are inlaid with night pearls, and some are luminous minerals with thunder properties, making the entire cave look beautiful and magnificent.

  "Jiaolong is lustful and loves wealth, indeed it is so." Looking at these sparkling treasures, Lin Ming sighed in his heart. These things, if placed in the mortal world, would be worth more than 10,000 taels of gold each. Just the decorative lighting in this cave alone was worth hundreds of millions of gold!

  Of course, Lin Ming didn't have time to think about these things now. He increased his vigilance by twelve points and carefully made his way forward in the cave.

  The power of thunder in the cave was so dense that it almost solidified, if a Thunder System warrior were to cultivate here, their cultivation speed would be absolutely rapid.

  Turning a corner, Lin Ming only felt a purple glow in front of him, "Huh, Thunderbolt Grass!"

  Lin Ming looked at a Thunderbolt Grass not far in front of him, its leaves were deep purple, and on the top of the stem, a fist-sized fruit was flickering with tiny lightning arcs, the color of the fruit was dark purple.

  "Thousand Year Thunderbolt Grass!" Lin Ming's breathing quickened, according to the description in the Thunderbolt Mountain booklet, this thing was at least 1,400 or 1,500 years old. For a thunder-based martial artist, its value was immeasurable!

  Lin Ming didn't hold back, taking out a top-grade treasure knife and infusing it with Thunderbolt Force. With one slash, he cut down the black-purple fruit and directly stored it in the Xuanyuan Ring.

  As for the roots of the grass, Lin Ming didn't bother to move them, leaving the Lei Jiao to take good care of them. Maybe in the future, when he became stronger, he would come back again, and at that time, he wouldn't have to sneak around anymore.

  After picking up the Thunderbolt Grass, Lin Ming didn't stay for a moment and continued to move forward. The mountain cave went all the way down, extending into the belly of the mountain.

  Not long after, Lin Ming's field of vision suddenly opened up, and in front of him was a gigantic stone chamber that was at least 100 zhang wide!

  After entering the stone room, Lin Ming took a deep breath of cool air. On the ground of the stone room, there were hundreds of large and small Thunderbolt Grasses planted, and the age of these Thunderbolt Grasses was at least several hundred years old! The others were all over a thousand years old!

  Also, Leiting Mountain has existed for thousands of years, and Lei Jiao's age is probably no less than that. If he wants to plant Leiting Grass, it shouldn't be difficult to cultivate Thousand-Year Leiting Grass?

  Upon closer inspection, Lin Ming discovered that most of the Thunderbolt Grass had already been picked, leaving only bare stalks. Only thirty or forty plants still had fruit hanging from them.

  So that's it. This thunderbolt snake has taken this patch of thunderbolt grass as its own "vegetable garden". It takes care of it from time to time, and when it's ripe, it picks and eats it, season after season.

  This way, it can increase the power of thunder in the cave and also have food supplements, what a wonderful idea!

  Lin Ming didn't hold back either, his movements swift as lightning. In just a few breaths' time, he had cleared the area of all its grass and weeds, leaving only a patch of bare earth behind.

  Thirty to forty Thunderbolt Fruits were harvested, and Lin Ming had an unreal feeling. More than 80% of these fruits were thousand-year-old Thunderbolt Fruits! If they were outside the Thunderbolt Mountain range, it would be as difficult to find one as climbing to the sky! But in the cave of the Thunder Wyrm, they were as easy to harvest as scallions.

  This is the benefit of living a long life, only with a long lifespan can one cultivate these thousand-year-old spiritual medicines, otherwise, before the medicine's growth period is over, one would have died of old age.

  Time is precious, Lin Ming put away the Thunderbolt Grass and continued to move forward. After exiting this stone chamber, Lin Ming arrived at another stone chamber. This stone chamber was even larger than the previous one, a full 200 zhang wide!

  Judging from the traces around the stone chamber, it is obvious that this stone chamber is not natural, but was excavated later.

  According to depth estimation, at this time, it has already penetrated deep into the belly of Lei Feng Mountain, with sufficient space to excavate large stone chambers.

  In this spacious stone chamber, the floor was covered with a variety of precious furs: sable, bear skin, tiger skin, leopard skin, and many more.

  These hides were fixed on the rock, obviously, this was a bed.

  "This thunderbolt is too indulgent!" Lin Ming was a bit speechless, the bedroom was over 200 zhang wide, with precious fur and leather laid out on a huge bed, it was almost as big as a person.

  Lin Ming was about to leave when he suddenly discovered that on this large bed, there was a place where the power of thunder was incredibly rich. Lin Ming's heart moved and he flew over, lifting up a white tiger skin, only to see under it a crystal clear gemstone embedded in the ground, emitting purple light. The gemstone was about the size of a fist, but what was most strange was that inside the gemstone, something seemed to be sealed, pulsating with a rhythmic beat like a heart.
