Xiao Lin and Tang San had previously discussed the Thunder Gorge.
Now that the wind from the Thunder Gorge had blown in and they felt the skyrocketing spiritual energy inside the Spirit Gathering Formation, it was their first immediate reaction to assume that the Thunder Gorge might contain a God Inheritance.
Of course, stating outright that there was a God Inheritance was still a bit too arbitrary.
Xiao Lin and Tang San were simply putting too much weight on anything related to God Inheritances.
"A God Inheritance?"
Tang Ni's heart skipped a beat upon hearing their words.
Could there really be a God Inheritance?
"Brother Lin, according to your theory, the size of the Thunder Gorge shouldn't be enough to sustain a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast—though we can exclude those with exceptionally powerful innate talent, of course."
At this moment, Tang San, who had already regained his calm, began to analyze the situation.
"However, this skyrocketing spiritual energy also proves that there might be quite a few high-age Soul Beasts over at the Thunder Gorge."
"If it isn't a God Inheritance, then there must be a supreme treasure hidden there."
Hearing Tang San's analysis, Xiao Lin shook his head, already abandoning his hopes for a God Inheritance.
"It shouldn't be a God Inheritance. No God would release spiritual energy like this."
Xiao Lin made this judgment based on the so-called God Trials from the original story.
The Sea God was incredibly stingy; if someone hadn't passed the trials, they wouldn't receive any benefits. To say that the Sea God would release spiritual energy to nurture the people on Sea God Island was even more impossible.
Furthermore, Xiao Lin had also recalled an important piece of information.
The Thunder God had already perished during the battle with the Dragon God, and even his divine seat might no longer exist. It was very likely that his divine core had been shattered. Yet, it was precisely because of this reason that Xiao Lin was actually in a good mood.
The Thunder God was definitely dead.
That would explain why his divine power had transformed into spiritual energy, continuously unleashing lightning within the Thunder Gorge. But compared to being watched over by a God, Xiao Lin preferred to hold the reins of his own life.
It was just like how he always wanted to fleece the Sea God for his benefits, yet he had never once thought about becoming the Sea God himself.
Of course, part of the reason was that he didn't want to snatch Tang San's opportunities, but it was mostly because he had higher pursuits (and the assistance of the Dragon Kings).
"If there isn't a God, doesn't that mean there's a supreme treasure?"
Only now did Xiao Wu react.
A lightning-attribute supreme treasure would also bring her plenty of benefits.
"Yeah. If we can obtain a supreme treasure, then there will be hope of becoming a God."
Xiao Lin neither confirmed nor denied it.
He just wondered if they could truly obtain such a treasure with their current strength. Or rather, were the high-level Soul Beasts inside the Thunder Gorge truly completely unaware of it? Xiao Lin did not blindly trust his Spirit Gathering Formation.
He believed that other, more sensitive Soul Beasts would surely have noticed the existence of this so-called supreme treasure.
"No wonder when Brother Lin talked about the soul rings of the Soul Beasts he wanted, they were all creatures that sounded incredibly strong just by their names. It turns out the quality of the Soul Beasts in the Thunder Gorge is this high."
Tang San had been a bit puzzled before, wondering why the Thunder Gorge gave off a feeling of being even stronger than the Star Dou Great Forest.
At this moment, Tang Ni remained silent, her beautiful face uncharacteristically calm.
She wanted to achieve Godhood, but she was uniquely uninterested in any God Inheritance within the Thunder Gorge. Others might not know—even Xiao Wu didn't know—but she knew exactly what kind of terrifyingly powerful existence resided inside the Thunder Gorge.
Lei Huang, an existence with a cultivation level close to three hundred thousand years. His true form was the Lightning Winged Dragon, possessing powerful Azure Dragon bloodline and Winged Dragon bloodline.
His combat power was not the slightest bit inferior to the Scarlet King.
One had to know that every Soul Beast that successfully crossed several Heavenly Tribulations was a supreme genius of their generation. For Lei Huang to possess such capability, aside from his dragon true form, he also wielded the ultimate destructive power of Ultimate Lightning.
If they were inside the Thunder Gorge, Lei Huang could even temporarily control the weather to launch an attack—an attack that would not be any weaker than a Heavenly Tribulation itself. Even if Di Tian went there himself, he wouldn't want to be struck by lightning like that.
This trip to the Thunder Gorge was both an opportunity and a challenge, but more than anything, it was filled with danger. While Tang Ni was thinking this, Xiao Lin held the exact same thoughts.
For the safety of everyone, he decided to give up on his most desired hundred-thousand-year Thunder Emperor Dragon soul ring. Xiao Lin resolved that as long as there was a suitable Soul Beast, he would absorb its ring as soon as possible and leave.
Of course, it would be best if it were a Soul Beast with a true dragon bloodline.
That way, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings could use their dragon qi to boost the age of the soul ring later on. Because of the unusual spiritual energy of the Thunder Gorge, Xiao Lin also informed Tang San and the others about the potential dangers.
After hearing about these risks, Tang San and the rest decisively abandoned any thoughts of venturing deep into the Thunder Gorge. As for the supreme treasure and everything else, they could worry about that in the future.
Over the next half month, Xiao Lin and his group continued on their way to Dragon City as usual. Perhaps because the merchant caravan consisted of experienced veterans, they didn't encounter any herds of Soul Beasts along the way.
In the end, the group arrived smoothly at Dragon City.
Dragon City.
Because they had been rushing for over half a month, none of them had gotten any proper rest. Therefore, Xiao Lin and the others planned to find a luxury hotel to rest well for a day before heading to the Thunder Gorge the next morning.
In front of the Rose Hotel.
Tang San stood with a gloomy expression, staring at a playboy before him who had his arms wrapped around two women. Because the Rose Hotel only had one room left, Tang San had intended to leave, but he ended up being insulted by this playboy.
At this moment, Tang San was preparing to demand an explanation from the playboy. As for what kind of explanation that would be, it would naturally be a duel between Soul Masters.
However, Xiao Lin only found it boring.
In his view, if Tang San accidentally revealed his true strength and exposed himself in this place, it would cause far too much trouble. But Tang San didn't care about that, simply because the playboy in front of him had insulted his beloved Xiao Wu.
"Brother Lin, it'll be quick. It'll only take a few seconds," Tang San said with full confidence.
Could he really lose to a playboy whose body had already been hollowed out by indulgence? Looking at the pale-faced fellow with bloodless lips, Tang San felt that he wouldn't even need to use a soul skill to defeat him.
Furthermore, it wasn't that Tang San was itching for a fight. It was just that the guy kept staring intently at Xiao Wu and Tang Ni, utterly unwilling to let them leave.
"Brat, your girlfriends really are quite beautiful. Why don't you let me cherish them for you, haha"
In the next instant, Xiao Lin flashed forward and directly slapped the playboy.
Before the playboy could finish laughing, the massive impact instantly cut his laughter short, and his body flew straight into the distance. During his flight, a few shattered teeth covered in blood trailed through the air, forming an arc before falling to the ground.
Thud!
A second later, the playboy crashed heavily from midair onto the ground, his eyes rolling back as he completely lost consciousness. The two girls who had been by his side only reacted after witnessing Xiao Lin's violent action.
Their blank stares turned into sheer terror; they let out a sharp scream, turned around, and fled.
The two girls ran right past the playboy, but not a single glance was spared for him.
"Alright, now we can leave."
Xiao Lin was worried that Tang San might expose his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, so he simply took matters into his own hands to resolve the trouble.
What Xiao Lin actually worried about even more was that if Tang Ni made a move, she would directly beat that waste to death, which would plunge them into an irreconcilable feud. To be able to act like a playboy here, the guy definitely had some sort of backing behind him.
Xiao Lin had merely implanted a strand of Ultimate Ice soul power into his body. In the future, whenever this playboy tried to utilize his soul power, his limbs would turn freezing cold, making it difficult to even move.
He was completely ruined for life.
Only after Xiao Lin's group of four left did the ordinary citizens around the Rose Hotel stop watching the drama.
