Early in the morning, Ye Tian finished his simple grooming and left the Cold Family. He needed to enhance his strength to the late stage of a Second-Stage Martial Artist before heading into the mountains to search for the Divine Dragon Treasure.
It had been seven days since they returned to the Cold Family, and during this time, he only spent three days accompanying Cold Frost. Due to the urgency of the situation, Cold Frost understood and did not act like an ordinary daughter who would cling and fuss.
Of course, both Ye Tian and Cold Frost understood that their current separation was for the sake of a stable and beautiful life in the future.
In these seven days, another celestial phenomenon occurred; this was the third time the Divine Dragon's Tribulation triggered heavenly thunder. At this frequency, the next occurrence should be in ten days.
It is said that there are nine instances of the Divine Dragon's Tribulation. If the fourth heavenly thunder does not strike in ten days, it would indicate that the Divine Dragon likely failed its tribulation and was injured by the heavenly lightning.
Conversely, if it does strike, they would have to wait for the fifth instance of heavenly tribulation until all nine are completed. This outcome is what both families, the Cold King and Wang family, hope for because a successful tribulation for the Divine Dragon would reduce their risks in searching for treasures. If the Divine Dragon's Tribulation fails, no one knows if it will remain in place waiting for its next tribulation.
Moreover, there are very few capable individuals in the Wang family. After returning, Wang Tiankuang's eyesight worsened significantly and he is nearly blind now. The injuries of Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti and Windwalker Young Master are also recovering very slowly. Even if they fully recover their strength, Wang Tianba would not send just those two into the mountains; he does not trust them.
Ye Tian walked along the rugged paths of the Heavenly Shadow Mountain Range. His main purpose this time was not to search for spiritual herbs but primarily for Spirit Beast Inner Pills, with spiritual herbs as a secondary goal.
Although Spirit Beast Inner Pills are hard to find, they yield great results with less effort. First, their spiritual power is extremely potent and can quickly enhance Ye Tian's strength. Second, while improving his Martial Sovereign cultivation, he can simultaneously strengthen his Spirit Pouch.
Through previous battles, Ye Tian has gained a detailed understanding of spiritual power. Although he still does not know its deeper mysteries, he can now use it with ease.
During this time, he also resolved a lingering question that had troubled him. Previously, he had tried to cultivate using both Elemental Force Cyclone and spiritual power from herbs together, but at that time, he nearly lost his life. Now he can effectively combine these two elements to refine his body; this realization came unexpectedly and left him puzzled.
After careful thought, he finally discovered a clue: this situation occurred after he formed his Spirit Pouch, indicating that the Spirit Pouch plays a crucial role.
Although he still does not know what specific benefits the Spirit Pouch will bring him beyond his explosive increase in strength, the spiritual power within it has already become a powerful trump card for Ye Tian.
Ye Tian had now arrived at a flat area, a dense primeval forest where ancient trees towered high and birds and beasts roamed freely. The shadows of the trees obscured the sunlight, creating a tranquil atmosphere.
Roar!
Howl!
In the distance, the roar of a beast echoed, and Ye Tianxin was overjoyed. He immediately perked up his ears to listen, but after a moment, disappointment crossed his face.
Ever since he obtained the Spiritual Treasure Compendium, he had spent almost all his free time studying it in detail. However, the content in the Spiritual Treasure Compendium was vast and complex. He had only skimmed through sections on Celestial Weapons and Treasures and martial arts formations a few times, but he had nearly memorized everything about spiritual herbs and beasts because he focused primarily on this aspect.
Although the records of martial arts in the Spiritual Treasure Compendium were limited to their pros and cons, they were still quite useful, especially in critical situations. Not only could they play an important role in overcoming enemies, but they often directly determined life or death.
However, Ye Tian did not primarily focus on martial arts because no matter how many characteristics of martial arts one mastered, without personal strength to back it up, it would be mere talk.
Consider this: you might understand the myriad characteristics of martial arts like a Martial Sovereign, but if your own strength is only that of a First-Dan Warrior while your opponent has reached the level of a First-Stage Martial Artist, such a vast gap means that even if your opponent does not use martial arts, defeating you would be as easy as crushing an ant.
Thus, Ye Tian concentrated most of his efforts on spiritual herbs and beasts since they were essential for enhancing one's strength.
As mentioned before, Ye Tian was already very familiar with the records of spiritual herbs and beasts. Therefore, upon hearing the beast's roar, he could make a rough judgment.
The two nearby beasts were likely engaged in a struggle. This situation would be very beneficial for Ye Tian to take advantage of; however, unfortunately, they did not possess the ability to form inner elixirs.
Even so, Ye Tian quietly activated Yuqi Tayan Jue to take a look. Although he was confident in his judgment, having the support of Yuqi Tayan Jue made it easier to investigate, and being cautious was always better.
In an instant, Ye Tian's figure appeared atop a towering ancient tree. This tree stood over ten zhang tall with branches resembling those of locust or paulownia trees. Its top was exceptionally lush with leaves, forming a large canopy.
Ye Tian concealed himself within this canopy because he judged that both beasts had keen senses of perception and smell. If they noticed him, it could lead to unnecessary trouble.
Standing under the canopy of the umbrella, looking down, he saw that the two beasts in the open space below were indeed as he had judged in his mind: one was a monstrous wolf with a scorpion tail, and the other was a giant bear measuring five zhang in length.
At this moment, the two beasts were engaged in a fierce battle. However, when Ye Tian landed on the tree trunk, they showed a clear pause. It was evident that they had noticed this unexpected guest, but unnecessary trouble did not arise. After a brief hesitation, the two beasts resumed their fierce fighting.
The clash between the two beasts was extremely bloody and brutal. To an ordinary person, it would seem that the giant bear had the upper hand, but the reality was quite the opposite.
Although the giant bear could easily crush a tree as thick as two people hugging it with a single swipe, its massive size made it less agile. The monstrous wolf took advantage of this flaw, darting around its opponent and occasionally using its venomous scorpion tail to sting the giant bear.
This monstrous wolf was known as the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf, a very rare Yellow-Grade Six-Rank Monster. Its body was frail, and its vitality was even inferior to that of an ordinary wild wolf; however, its speed was exceptionally fast. According to Ye Tian's observations, if the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf were to run at full speed, it could reach a speed equivalent to that of someone at the sixth level of Yuqi Tayan Jue.
In martial arts, speed is paramount. This principle applied equally to the battle between the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf and the giant bear. Although the giant bear's attacks were incredibly powerful, it couldn't even touch a hair on the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf, let alone kill it.
The Scorpion-Tailed Wolf was also quite clever; it avoided direct confrontation with the giant bear and instead relied on its speed to evade attacks. The attack method of this type of beast was straightforward: it continuously sought opportunities to inject its venom into its opponent using its scorpion tail. While this venom was not lethal, it could induce strong paralysis in a short time. Once the opponent was paralyzed, it would be time for the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf to reveal its sharp fangs.
According to records in the Spiritual Treasure Compendium, the fangs of the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf were sharp enough to tear through the Martial Origin Power barrier of a Martial Mastery practitioner, illustrating just how deadly they could be.
Roar!
The giant bear let out another roar. In its eyes, this Scorpion-Tailed Wolf was merely prey; however, it did not expect that it would struggle so much against this prey and feel an increasing sense of paralysis throughout its body. This situation made it extremely angry.
"This foolish bear is likely to lose," Ye Tian muttered to himself. He initially intended only to confirm whether his judgment was correct but found the battle between these two beasts quite interesting after arriving. Thus, he decided to spend some time watching.
In fact, calling it wasting time wasn't entirely accurate because appropriate relaxation could lead to greater achievements in the future.
Just as Ye Tian was talking to himself, the giant bear stood upright. With its massive paws swinging left and right, powerful gusts of air surged forth. As these gusts erupted, nearby trees began to sway violently; some small saplings even showed signs of breaking.
The Scorpion-Tailed Wolf's already slender body faced significant resistance from this powerful airflow, causing its speed to suddenly decrease—likely by at least four times compared to before.
The occurrence of this situation put the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf at a disadvantage. Its reliance was on speed, but now the giant bear stood upright, with a wider attack range. Its speed had slowed down, and this back-and-forth situation immediately placed it in a threatening state.
Boom!
With a swipe of its paw, the giant bear struck down, creating a loud noise that seemed to shake the ground. Dust flew up, and after a moment, a deep paw print several feet wide was left on the ground.
However, the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf did not meet its demise; it dodged this deadly attack. Its escape was quite fortunate, as the force of the giant bear's paw strike halted the strong wind it generated, allowing the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf to catch its breath and accelerate, narrowly avoiding disaster.
"Interesting, interesting," Ye Tian observed with a smile, feeling that the battle between these two beasts was indeed intense.
After dodging, the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf quickly fled into the distance, seemingly giving up on the fight. However, the giant bear had no such intention; it took off running on all fours and managed to keep close behind the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf without being shaken off too far.
Ye Tian used his agility to keep up. The giant bear's speed was certainly not slow; its earlier clumsiness was merely due to its large size. When it came to pure running, it was not much inferior to the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf.
The battle between these two beasts piqued Ye Tian's curiosity. As he followed them, he pondered a question: "How did they end up fighting? The Scorpion-Tailed Wolf is quite rare, and its usual prey consists mostly of ordinary wild animals. Why would it actively provoke this thick-skinned giant bear?"
In fact, the giant bear had been stung multiple times by the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf's venomous tail stinger, but due to its tough skin and flesh, it had not succumbed to the poison.
After following for about half an hour, the once-pursued Scorpion-Tailed Wolf finally changed its attitude. It suddenly turned around, baring its sharp fangs and let out a fierce roar at the giant bear that was trailing behind.
