Sitting atop a giant rock, Sun Zhe rested and gathered his strength while carefully observing the many powerful figures standing ahead. The area he was in had already become a gathering place for late-stage Thunder Sovereigns, and further ahead lay the territory of first-level Thunder Lords.
First-level Thunder Lords could be considered the peak among the thousands of people present.
Sun Zhe raised his gaze and noticed that there were indeed many people gathered in the area ahead. The most conspicuous among them was none other than the group from the Golden Thunder Sect that Sun Zhe was looking for. The moment he entered, he spotted their location, but they had not noticed his arrival. Sun Zhe had not only changed his appearance and aura but had also cleverly displayed a cultivation level of early-stage Thunder Sovereign, making him completely unrecognizable to the Golden Thunder Sect members.
The Golden Thunder Sect consisted of about twenty people, almost all of whom had a cultivation level of Mid-Level Thunder Sovereign or higher. Among them were more than two strong individuals from the Realm of the Thunder Lord, one of whom was Sun Zhe's target—Han Li. The other was a cold-faced middle-aged man whom Sun Zhe had never seen before, but based on the Gray-Clad Old Woman's description, he quickly deduced that this person was the leader of the Golden Thunder Sect team, known as Elder Leng.
As he looked at Han Li, who was meditating with his eyes closed, a subtle glint of coldness flashed in Sun Zhe's eyes, a fleeting glimpse of murderous intent.
Seemingly sensing something, Han Li suddenly opened his eyes and scanned his surroundings but found no suspicious gazes. A hint of surprise crossed his wrinkled old face; he had clearly felt a trace of danger just moments ago, but it had vanished in an instant. Looking at the still surging Tide Mist, a flicker of anxiety appeared in Han Li's eyes.
"If I can obtain the treasure that is about to emerge from Wanbingyuan, it could offset my previous mistakes. The Grand Elder should be able to forgive me then..."
Thinking of the imposing Grand Elder filled Han Li with a sense of dread. Even though he was now a strong individual in the Realm of the Thunder Lord, this fear had not diminished in the slightest.
In addition to the powerful Golden Thunder Sect team, another group also stood out prominently. This group consisted of around thirty people, each wearing robes emblazoned with a black-and-white circular emblem. Those nearby instinctively distanced themselves from this group, showing signs of fear.
Sun Zhe recognized that this black-and-white circular emblem represented the Great Yuan Province's overlord—the Great Yuan Sect—a colossal entity that was on par with the Golden Thunder Sect. In Xia County under Great Yuan Province's jurisdiction, their influence surpassed that of the Golden Thunder Sect. They clearly aimed to seize the Rare Treasure emerging from Wanbingyuan as well.
Among this group of over thirty individuals, none were below the Realm of Thunder Sovereign. Their leader was a woman dressed in colorful attire; she was voluptuous and alluring, exuding an air of mature seduction with every gesture. However, no one dared to underestimate her because she was also a strong individual in the Realm of the Thunder Lord, her cultivation even surpassing that of Elder Leng from Golden Thunder Sect and nearing Great Perfection of Thunder Lord.
Besides the two major Sixth-Rank Sect teams—the Golden Thunder Sect and Great Yuan Sect—several other sects had also entered this domain. This meant that multiple sects had dispatched their own strong individuals from the Realm of the Thunder Lord. Although these sects were significantly weaker compared to the two major sects, they were still not to be underestimated by scattered cultivators; after all, a single strong individual from the Realm of the Thunder Lord was enough to command respect.
In addition to these Sect forces, there were also several individual Cultivators occupying a territory in this final area. These Cultivators undoubtedly possessed the strength to challenge the Realm of the Thunder Lord. Sun Zhe glanced around and noticed that there were at least six or seven of them, among which four stood out prominently.
The first person was a Bald Man, over eight feet tall, holding a Black Giant Staff as thick as a bowl. Under the sunlight, his shiny bald head reflected a blinding light, and he exuded a fierce aura. Beside him lay a Black Giant Tiger, which, although it appeared to be dozing with its eyes closed, was surrounded by a strong Demonic Aura, indicating it was a powerful and ferocious beast.
"His strength has definitely reached the Late Stage Thunder Lord!"
This was Sun Zhe's first impression. Currently, Sun Zhe was at the level of Three-Star Thunder Sovereign, close to Four-Star Thunder Sovereign, which is referred to as Mid-Level Thunder Sovereign. However, relying on his pure Thunder Power and exceptional Sword Technique, he would not fear even a beginner Thunder Lord. A Mid-Level Thunder Lord might make him retreat, but only a Late Stage Thunder Lord would give him such a sense of danger, and this man radiated an extremely dangerous feeling.
Aside from the Bald Man, the second and third individuals stood together. The second person was a middle-aged man in a Blue Robe, while the third was an unremarkable Middle-Aged Woman. Both had only reached the early stage of Thunder Lord, making them not particularly outstanding among the dozen or so Thunder Lord Experts. In another context, either of them would not have caught Sun Zhe's attention, but together they reminded him of their background.
They were known as the Purple-Blue Twin Swords. Having grown up together and later joined the same sect, they became husband and wife after their training. Because neither wanted to be constrained by any forces, they had never joined any faction. However, their strength was not weak; together they were extraordinary. In just a few years, they had made quite a name for themselves within the territory of Xuan Prefecture, and ordinary forces were reluctant to provoke them excessively.
This couple also mastered a powerful sword formation called the Purple Green Sword Formation. Even with their early-stage Thunder Lord cultivation, they could contend with even late-stage Thunder Lord Cultivators. When combined, they were akin to top-tier experts on par with late-stage Thunder Lords.
As for the so-called fourth person, rather than being noticed by Sun Zhe, she seemed to have taken notice of him.
The fourth individual was a young woman with only the cultivation level of Realm of Thunder Sovereign. A black veil covered her face, her long black hair cascading down to her waist. She wore a loose white martial arts robe that accentuated her enchanting figure. Although her appearance was obscured, her demeanor had already drawn everyone's attention. Her two black eyes looked at Sun Zhe with interest, seemingly containing some hidden meaning.
A Cultivator at the level of Realm of Thunder Sovereign had actually stepped into an area reserved for strong individuals at the level of Thunder Lord Stage. This was indeed remarkable; even if she held an esteemed status and possessed stunning beauty, without corresponding strength, very few among thousands would agree to her presence. She was able to stand there because she had a companion—a formidable Fourth-Stage Demon Beast comparable to a Thunder Lord Expert, and it was an extraordinary type of beast.
The massive creature beside the young woman resembled a colossal entity. Under the sunlight, its golden feathers shimmered brightly, and its hard claws glinted like deep-sea cold iron with dazzling black light. Its sharp eyes fixed intently on the crowd below, occasionally flashing with cruel bloodlust.
The creature was known as the Three-Eyed Golden-Winged Eagle, said to be a descendant of the ancient ferocious beast known as the Dapeng Golden-Winged Eagle. The strength of the Dapeng Golden-Winged Eagle was legendary; it was an ancient giant that dared to devour even deities. Although the bloodline of this Three-Eyed Golden-Winged Eagle was thin, its potential was unimaginable. From birth, it was comparable to a strong Thunder Sovereign as a Third-Grade Monster Beast. With some growth, it had now advanced directly to fourth grade; with its reverse Divine Ability, ordinary experts at the level of Thunder Lord were no match for it.
With this powerful innate demon beast, the young woman could enter this area even with only the cultivation of a Thunder Master.
While secretly observing the many strong individuals ahead and listening to their discussions, Sun Zhe finally understood why none of the thousands of people present had a cultivation level exceeding that of a Thunder Lord.
According to his understanding, superpowers like the Golden Thunder Sect and Great Yuan Sect, which occupy an entire state, could easily send out experts at the Thunder Lord level, and it was even possible for Thunder Emperor level experts to appear. However, the current situation was entirely dominated by Thunder Lord Experts, which was undoubtedly strange.
After hearing everyone's discussions, Sun Zhe finally realized that several major sects had made an agreement to prevent their experts from falling in large numbers as they had in the past, which would lead to an escalation of conflict. They specifically prohibited any sect from sending out experts above the Thunder Lord level into Wanbingyuan to compete for treasures. The Golden Thunder Sect and Great Yuan Sect led several major sects to station their experts at the periphery of Wanbingyuan, and idle Thunder Lord level experts were also not allowed to enter. Anyone found entering would be killed without mercy.
In other words, this competition for Rare Treasures was a struggle among those below the Thunder Lord level.
