Several individuals who obtained their desired martial arts were eager to return and cultivate, and they agreed to meet at the Azure Cloud Pavilion in seven days for a good match.
After returning to his residence, Ye Tian hastily ate something and then sat down quietly to study Stormy Winds and Thunder seriously.
This is an Earth Level Five Martial Art, and the content is not very profound. For someone like Ye Tian, who has a high comprehension of martial arts, it is easy to grasp.
In fact, with the help of Crimson Dragon Golden Blood and spiritual power, the Eight Trigrams Thunder Seal's power is also approaching Earth Level Five. However, this has become somewhat difficult for Ye Tian to keep up with.
The book he chose, Stormy Winds and Thunder, although also Earth Level Five, made Ye Tian believe that as long as he could fully master it, with time and practical experience, he could significantly enhance its power.
Of course, it would not be possible to elevate it several levels like the Bagua Thunder Seal, but it should be comparable to Earth Level Seven Beast without much issue.
Throughout the night, Ye Tian was immersed in comprehension and contemplation. After about two hours, he had already grasped the usage of Stormy Winds and Thunder.
However, what he pursued was a deeper understanding of its essence, striving to reach a higher level.
In the latter half of the night, feeling a slight insight, Ye Tian went into the forest behind his house to prepare for practical training.
The forest was tranquil with towering ancient trees. Occasionally, there were a few Earth-Level Demon Beasts that fled far away upon sensing the Crimson Dragon Aura emanating from Ye Tian.
Ye Tian did not pursue them; although he sought "sparring partners," those Earth-Level Demon Beasts were simply not worth his time. He could easily defeat them with just a casual strike without needing Stormy Winds and Thunder.
In the Cloud Sea Sect's forest, finding a more formidable beast was unlikely. After all, there were many strong individuals in the Cloud Sea Sect, and various powerful auras could be sensed everywhere. Thus, any beast with some awareness would choose to avoid them.
"My requirements are not high; I just need to find an Earth-Level One Beast." Ye Tian ventured deeper into the forest and had already walked for nearly half an hour.
The Earth-Level One Beast, when compared to the Martial Sovereign, should be comparable to a Four-Stage Martial Artist. If it possesses even a slight degree of intelligence, its strength would increase significantly.
What Ye Tian is looking for is a beast with some intelligence. As for its strength, as long as it does not exceed what he can handle, even if it is slightly stronger, it doesn't matter. After all, in critical moments, he has the Crimson Dragon Aura to suppress the beast's wildness.
The moonlight filters through like silk, and the ancient forest is quiet and serene. Occasionally, the Cold Crow lets out a few mournful cries, adding a touch of melancholy to the atmosphere.
At this moment, Ye Tian has ventured deep into the back of the forest, having traveled at least ten miles.
Ahead, there is a faint light; it seems he is about to reach a flat area. However, he has yet to encounter any beasts, which leaves Ye Tian feeling quite frustrated. After all, wandering around in the deep mountains at night is not an enjoyable activity.
Before long, an open space indeed appears ahead. It is a barren area about thirty feet wide, and at the far end stands a cliff.
When Ye Tian reaches the edge of the cliff and looks down, he sees that thick fog envelops the bottom, obscuring its height.
"Alas... there's no way forward," Ye Tian sighs and prepares to turn back, feeling that tonight's time has been wasted.
But just as he turns around, a restless aura suddenly emanates from below the cliff.
Ye Tian quickly turns back and approaches the edge again to look down.
He sees that the dense fog begins to churn like boiling water, continuously rising and evaporating.
"Hmm?" Ye Tian frowns slightly. The aura he senses is not particularly strong but feels extremely agitated. However, one peculiar thing stands out: he cannot distinguish whether it belongs to a human or a beast.
This puzzles him. With his current keen perception, detecting the true strength of someone who is not deliberately hiding their cultivation within ten miles of this area should not be difficult.
But at this moment, he couldn't even sense what the other party was, which gave him a strange feeling.
"Could it be that an extraordinary master is cultivating below the cliff?" Ye Tian muttered to himself. Ever since he last saw Cloudscar, he had been thinking about betting on the prowess of supreme figures.
"Should I go down and take a look?"
"Forget it..."
Ye Tian recalled the incident with the Blood Leech King. That time, he had only wanted to deal with the Abbot of the Arhat Hall, but due to a twist of fate, he encountered the three-thousand-year-old demon, Blood Leech King, and nearly lost his life.
"Still, I should go down and take a look." After a brief hesitation, Ye Tian made his decision. A Primeval demon like Blood Leech King was not something one could encounter every day. Although it was ultimately subdued by Cloudscar, the probability of encountering a human expert was likely greater.
With that thought in mind, Ye Tian leaped down without further hesitation.
As his body fell, Ye Tian quickly activated Yuqi Tayan Jue, which significantly reduced his speed. However, the Whispers howled around him, and a chilling sensation enveloped him.
"Something feels off." For some reason, Ye Tian suddenly sensed a strange feeling. At that same moment, the mist began to slowly regain its calmness.
"Could it be that whatever is down there has sensed me?"
Ye Tian continued to focus and perceive. He wasn't afraid of exposing himself; after all, he had already sent out his Divine Consciousness before—if he was going to be exposed, it would have happened long ago.
This time, however, he couldn't sense any presence at all.
"..." Ye Tian felt somewhat speechless. This mysterious situation left him feeling uncertain, yet he wasn't exactly afraid; it was simply very strange.
It seemed as if his mind had been affected.
Realizing this, Ye Tian began to have second thoughts. He was not afraid of powerful enemies, but strange and bizarre things left him feeling bewildered.
For example, Wang Weiyang's Raccoon Cat True Form, which could influence human minds without regard to strength, was indeed too dangerous. A moment of weakness could easily lead to losing one's life by their own hand.
He had come this time merely to seek out beasts and test the power of Stormy Winds and Thunder, not intending to engage in any dangerous activities. Despite his strong curiosity, he decided to retreat immediately. It would be better to return when his strength had significantly increased.
With this thought in mind, Ye Tian attempted to activate Jujutsu and change his form in mid-air. However, just as his body began to rise, a tremendous pulling force suddenly emerged from below!
"Not good!" Ye Tian instinctively shouted, as the overwhelming suction felt like a whirlpool, irresistible.
His body began to plummet from its slow ascent, descending at a speed faster than when he fully exerted Yuqi Tayan Jue.
At this point, regardless of what terrifying thing lay below or whether it was a dragon's den or tiger's lair, he had no choice but to plunge in.
The Bagua Thunder Seal quickly formed between his hands. He chose not to use Stormy Winds and Thunder because his mastery of that martial art was still rudimentary and far from proficient. In such a critical moment, it was safer to rely on the Bagua Thunder Seal, which he was more skilled at.
If this sudden event was unfortunate, the silver lining was that the height of the cliff seemed very high. Even with the sudden descent, it felt like an eternity before reaching the bottom.
This provided Ye Tian with enough time to gather the momentum for the Bagua Thunder Seal. After about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the Bagua Thunder Seal, glowing with Azure Gold Radiance, had reached the size of a grinding disc.
However, Ye Tian did not feel any sense of security. The fact that such height could still generate an irresistible suction only underscored the terrifying nature of whatever unknown entity lay below.
A horrifying image suddenly flashed through his mind.
Below, a terrifying beast is opening its Blood-Red Maw, and with each breath, powerful gusts of wind are generated, creating an immense suction that emanates from its mouth.
It seems that the earlier rolling fog was caused by this.
Time passes slowly; Ye Tian does not know exactly how long it has been, but it feels both lengthy and fleeting.
The fog begins to thicken even more, reducing visibility to less than half a foot.
Ye Tian strives to calm his mind, intending to focus and sense the presence of the creature.
However, his powerful Divine Consciousness probing outward yields no results, while the unknown monster is clearly exerting itself, sending chills down Ye Tian's spine.
Everything has its own unique aura; the inability to sense an aura usually indicates two situations.
First, one can conceal their aura, but the monster clearly does not belong to this category as it is currently exerting force.
Second, the opponent's strength is truly too high, beyond imagination.
"Is my luck really this bad?" Ye Tian thinks helplessly, fearing he might encounter another extraordinary beast like the Blood Leech King.
Suddenly, Ye Tian recalls something—the image that had appeared in his mind earlier. "Could it be that the reason I can't sense its aura isn't because it isn't exerting force, but rather because this immense suction comes solely from its inhalation and exhalation..."
The earlier rolling fog was due to it exhaling, while the current influx of fog along with himself is because it is inhaling...
What kind of existence is this? Setting aside the tremendous force generated by its breathing, just the length of its breath alone proves that it is undoubtedly a colossal creature!
Moreover, the longer the breath, the more likely it is to be a life force that is extremely dominant, surviving for hundreds or even thousands of years without question.
"It seems that really is the case..." Ye Tian's mind once again conjured the terrifying image of the Blood Leech King.
Suddenly, his vision began to clear, the surrounding mist becoming increasingly sparse, and a faint light appeared below.
"Am I finally going to see its true form...?"
Ye Tian looked down and saw a dark glow flickering below, different from the night, but he couldn't make out the extent of it as it filled his view.
"A colossal creature!" Ye Tian exclaimed, instinctively concluding that the black glow emanated from a massive body.
The Bagua Thunder Seal was already prepared; as soon as he descended a little further and got a clear look at what it was, no matter what it was, he would strike first with his seal.
At that moment, a thunderous sound suddenly echoed from below, one after another, shaking Ye Tian's eardrums.
Croak! Croak! Croak!
It was the sound of frogs...
