Time did not stop, and Liu Guanfeng and Little Black had no idea how long they had been in the stone chamber. Liu Guanfeng's surrounding thunder energy had not ceased, while the Dragon Pearl within him continuously absorbed the Thunder Energy flowing in from the outside.
The cave where Liu Guanfeng and Little Black were located was on a peak of a small island, and there was no visible path leading to this cave from the island. The only way in was the passage that Liu Guanfeng followed after the Sea Beast, which lay hundreds of meters beneath the sea surface. This was also why, after so many years, no human had discovered this cave.
Ever since Little Black devoured the Purple Gold Thunderfruit, the small island outside Liu Guanfeng's cave had been plagued by constant thunderstorms. Every day brought heavy rain and lightning, with an exceptionally high frequency of strikes. This phenomenon had only occurred for two days when the Purple Gold Thunderfruit ripened, but this time it lasted a full week.
The storm clouds hung low, just about a hundred meters from the peak of the mountain, and combined with the dense lightning, the entire island appeared to be like a purgatory from afar. Many fishermen who had seen it were grateful they hadn't gone to rest on the island, and from that moment on, this island was named Purgatory Island by those fishermen.
Lightning could be clearly seen mercilessly striking a large tree, one that could be encircled by seven or eight people. The tree ignited instantly in the lightning, and rather than being extinguished by the heavy rain, it felt as if the rain only fueled the flames further. In no time at all, firelight spread across the entire island. The lightning that struck the tree quickly replenished its energy through the vines of the Purple Gold Thunderfruit.
If anyone were to see Liu Guanfeng and Little Black at that moment, they would surely be startled because both were surrounded by lightning. Two lightning cages formed from vines trapped Liu Guanfeng and Little Black inside. Surprisingly, these cages did not affect their cultivation; instead, it seemed that both enjoyed this sensation immensely.
Thus, the vines absorbed Thunder Energy from the raging storm outside to replenish the energy consumed by the Lightning Cage while Little Black and Liu Guanfeng continued to enjoy the energy provided by it. Fortunately, due to the size of the Purple Gold Thunderfruit's vines and the abundance of lightning outside, they could meet the demands of the Lightning Cage.
However, neither of them felt any discomfort while cultivating within their cage; they kept their eyes tightly shut in deep meditation.
Outside the stone chamber, Xuantian and xp were no longer engaged in their previous lively banter. Seeing xp persistently holding on, Xuantian abandoned any thoughts of making Liu Guanfeng his mount. They both enjoyed fresh seafood brought back daily by Xuantian's descendants.
It wasn't until that evening that xp realized just how powerful Xuantian's influence was. While they were negotiating how to become Liu Guanfeng's mount, faint footsteps echoed from outside the cave. From the sound alone, xp sensed that more than just one or two beasts were entering; there was definitely a large number of them—only upon getting closer could they ascertain how many.
xp immediately prepared for battle since its purpose here was to protect Liu Guanfeng and Little Black during their cultivation.
In contrast, Xuantian remained remarkably calm. He smiled slightly at xp and said, "You don't need to be so nervous; those coming in are all my descendants. Let me show you what my army looks like."
As soon as Xuantian finished speaking, the owners of those footsteps revealed themselves. The first to enter were four large Turtles that looked exactly like Xuantian. They approached him closely and said, "Father, we have returned."
xp stared at Xuantian in astonishment: "They call you Father?"
Xuantian chuckled: "Yes, they are my four sons. By age calculation, they are already over four hundred fifty years old now. Moreover, they are all Divine Knight beasts; they have just recently broken through but still lack some refinement in strength. However, these four are my smartest children."
After finishing the conversation with Xuantian, it turned its head towards its four children and said, "Go let your brothers in."
Upon hearing Xuantian's command, one of the Turtles went outside. After a while, ten more Turtles followed it back in. These ten Turtles looked slightly different from Xuantian; they lacked one horn on their foreheads compared to Xuantian. However, all ten were peak Ninth Tier magical beasts, slightly stronger than XP.
"XP, these ten are also my children. I originally had over forty offspring, but now only fourteen remain. The others were eaten by Sea Beasts in the Sea. My wife was also consumed by a land beast during one of her spawning events; I only found her shell afterward. At that time, she was merely an Eighth Rank magical beast. Since then, I have not sought another female Turtle."
XP nodded and said, "Brother Xuantian, it seems there are more than just these few outside?"
Xuantian smiled and replied, "Of course there are more than these few. I only mentioned that these are my children. The rest waiting outside are my grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Alright, Xuanhai, let them bring in the food."
The Turtle named Xuanhai went outside and soon returned with a group of Turtles. Each Turtle carried seafood in their mouths—ordinary fish as well as powerful Sea Beasts of various kinds, including fish, shrimp, and crabs; they brought almost everything available in the Sea. Additionally, many Sea Beasts were being carried in by two or more Turtles. Once all the little Turtles carrying food entered, the cave was nearly half filled with food.
XP carefully observed the little Turtles that came in; among them were several Ninth Tier Turtles with comparable strength to his own, numbering around thirty to forty. The rest were all Eighth Rank and Seventh Tier magical beasts. This was what surprised XP—the newly hatched Turtles were only Third Tier magical beasts; reaching Seventh Tier was quite challenging. Yet this time, there were no fewer than a thousand Turtles entering, all above Seventh Tier.
Seeing XP's confusion, Xuantian explained from the side: "All my descendants have practiced the Xuan Turtle Heart Sutra left by our Benefactor. As I mentioned before, this Mind Method is most suitable for our turtle-type magical beasts to practice. That's why my descendants have such overall strength; there are still quite a few Seventh and Eighth Rank ones outside."
"I stipulated that to come here for cultivation, one must have at least Sixth Tier strength; if they do not meet my requirements, they must find another place to cultivate."
"Brother Xuantian, how many of your descendants are above Sixth Tier?"
Xuantian thought for a moment and said, "Not too many—about ten thousand or so. If you include those below Sixth Tier, it should exceed one hundred thousand."
"That's way too many! One hundred thousand descendants?"
Xuantian nodded: "Although it's extremely dangerous in the Sea, I ensure they move collectively for protection. A group of Sixth and Seventh Tier magical beasts together can fight even against Eighth Rank or Ninth Tier beasts. So now in this sea area, it's not the Magic Shark that holds sway but my descendants. My fourteen children patrol this area regularly as well; other magical beasts tend to avoid them as much as possible. This ensures a good survival rate for my offspring."
"Father, you haven't introduced us to the person next to you yet," asked one of Xuantian's children.
"XP, look at my memory! Let me introduce you: the one who spoke just now is my eldest son named Xuan'ao; my second son is Xuanheng; third son is Xuan Si; fourth son is Xuanhai. The others are Xuan Guang and Xuan Kuo..." Xuantian introduced all fourteen of his sons to XP.
After finishing the introductions, he pointed at XP and said, "This is my Benefactor's disciple's Mount—my Junior Brother's Mount as well. You can all call him uncle. My Junior Brother and Senior Brother are currently cultivating in the room with Purple Gold Thunderfruit; you probably won't see them for a while."
After everyone introduced themselves, they began to sit together for a meal. Only after everyone had eaten did the Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Tier beasts come in to dine.
These Turtles only went out to hunt once every three days, and this time they had captured enough prey to feed a group of beasts for four or five days. This routine continued for half a month, during which Liu Guanfeng and Little Black did not show themselves at all. The nearby Xuan'ao and other Turtles were very eager to see the senior and junior brothers that their father spoke of.
After half a month, a strange fragrance began to emanate from the chamber of the Purple Gold Thunderfruit. This fragrance was similar to that of the Purple Gold Thunderfruit itself. A day later, the entire cave was filled with this unusual scent. During this time, the young Turtles who were cultivating in the cave felt that their progress was much faster than usual; a whole day's training felt equivalent to a week's worth of results.
Upon noticing the strange fragrance, Xuantian quietly entered the small chamber once more. He was startled to find Liu Guanfeng and Little Black trapped in the Lightning Cage, but he relaxed when he saw their expressions. He also realized that this strange fragrance was coming from the small chamber and turned to leave.
On the third day after the fragrance began to spread, there was some commotion outside the cave. However, before it could approach, nearly a hundred young Turtles stationed outside repelled it. The young Turtles reported that a dozen Fifth Tier Giant Claw Crabs had entered. From that moment on, for several days, various beasts stealthily crept into the cave, with their levels steadily increasing. By the fourth day of attacks, all incoming Sea Beasts were above Eighth Rank, leading to an increase in casualties among Xuantian's descendants.
However, Xuantian still showed no intention of intervening; he only sent out ten peak Ninth Tier children. According to Xuantian, this was a form of training for his children.
Five more days passed, and within the entire cave, only Xuantian and his four Divine Knight children remained uninjured. At this point, these young Turtles were forced into the cave while a large number of Ninth-Stage Beasts gathered outside, including four or five Divine Knights. Their target was clearly the strange fragrance.
Inside the stone chamber, there was no sound at all. Throughout the cave, corpses of Sea Beasts and Turtles could be seen everywhere, along with pairs of Sea Beasts and Turtles engaged in fierce battles. Xp and Xuantian had long joined the fray; Xp faced a peak Ninth Tier Four-Legged Sea Dragon while Xuantian battled two Four-Legged Sea Dragons at the divine beast level.
The peaks on the small island trembled from the fighting within the cave, while beasts on the mountain were startled by both the thunderstorm outside and the sounds coming from within.
Outside on the island, the thunderstorm intensified; lightning as thick as tree trunks was visible everywhere. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning erupted from within the mountain, piercing through it and creating a hole about five or six meters in diameter. This lightning shot up into the clouds as if something terrible was brewing within them. About a minute later, a thick bolt of lightning surged through the newly created hole. Below it were Little Black and Liu Guanfeng's Lightning Cage. When this bolt struck Liu Guanfeng and Little Black, it continued within the clouds for over ten seconds until all of it entered the mountain peak. The entire island then basked in sunlight as winds calmed and rain ceased.
From deep within the island came a roar that made all beasts bow their heads in fear; even those Sea Beasts and Turtles fighting in the cave stopped their battles. Following this roar, a black beast stood in the center of the entire cavern alongside a young man who appeared to be around twenty years old.
