Chapter 423 - 391: Thunder Restricted Area, Brewing Unity, White Tiger Bloodline

Calling it a visit was a stretch; it was more like a covert trip to the vicinity of the Thunder Clan’s city to investigate the situation from afar. This was the most effective method of reconnaissance, or rather, the most reliable way to gather information. As long as he went, he was guaranteed to learn something.

In truth, given the current circumstances, it was difficult to learn about the Thunder Clan’s true situation through normal channels. He had to approach stealthily.

The Thunder Clan was the strongest race in the Thunder Great Realm, almost comparable to the powerful races from the top-tier Great Realms. In fact, in some respects, the Thunder Clan’s home-field advantage was even greater than that of visiting top-tier races.

The Thunder Clan was a race that primarily focused on the cultivation of the Vast Thunder Spirit Charm. Their Thunder Manipulation abilities were incredibly strong, and they even resembled bolts of thunder, which showed just how deeply they were influenced by thunder.

The Thunder Clan’s influence truly spanned the entire Thunder Great Realm, and that was what made them so terrifying. It was said that their race could use a method of travel that combined thunder with the Space-Time Law, allowing them to traverse vast distances within their home world—something not even the Three-Life Race could do.

Back in the Desolate Realm, the Three-Life Race had only controlled the area radiating from a single top-tier Oasis City; several other such zones were outside their jurisdiction.

In other words, not even Senior Celestial Star of the Three-Life Race—a top-tier race from the Primordial world cluster—nor the Celestial Star Arena established by his faction could control the entire Desolate Realm or exert a profound influence on its every corner. Yet, in this Great Realm, the Thunder Clan could.

It was rumored that the Thunder Clan and the Origin of the Thunder Great Realm were symbiotic. That is to say, when the Thunder Great Realm was first formed, the Thunder Clan began to gestate alongside it. After tens of thousands of years of development, they finally grew into a renowned race and subsequently came to dominate the entire Thunder Great Realm.

They had a high utilization rate of the Thunder Great Realm’s Laws. With the exception of unique regions like the Thunder Restricted Area, there was no place in this world they couldn’t reach. Because they had founded many cities and had a high rate of development, one could imagine that if they were allowed to develop indefinitely, they would one day elevate the Thunder Great Realm to the level of a top-tier Great Realm.

There was no doubt about this. Even some top-tier Great Realms held the Thunder Great Realm in high regard, mainly because the Thunder Clan’s rate of development in their home world was so high. It was much like the Yin Yang Great Realm, which was so unique that as long as its development continued, it surely held the potential to become a top-tier Great Realm.

It was precisely because of this high level of development that Jiang Qiu easily found a city, and from there, just as easily located a main city of the Thunder Clan. He successfully entered its central district—something that should have been impossible under normal circumstances, as the perimeter was already on high alert.

However, the Dragon Maiden, Snow, could perform high-efficiency Space-Time Travel. This meant she could traverse long distances through space-time without causing the slightest ripple, so there was no risk of creating a disturbance and alerting the enemy. Under these conditions, even arriving inside the central district posed no problem at all.

As for why he didn’t use Day and Night Reversal, it was mainly because that ability caused too much of a commotion. There was simply no need for it. Using Snow’s Space-Time Travel was the optimal solution.

After all, the two of them were basically one person. Their abilities could be extensively shared after reaching the Fusion Realm, and now that they had been in sync for so long, he could naturally use her Space-Time Travel ability.

Speaking of which, the Space-Time Travel ability was truly astonishing. With a touch as light as a dragonfly skimming water, he materialized within the central district. It was as if he had been standing there invisibly all along and had simply chosen to reveal himself.

Upon arriving, Jiang Qiu quickly found the path leading deeper into the city and initiated his next jump.

For a Fusion Realm expert of his level, the main city’s defensive measures were useless. Unless they could block the reconnaissance of a Harmonization Realm expert, he could easily scout the route, modify his coordinates, and perform a second jump.

After repeating this process several times, he penetrated the core area of the central district. He had essentially toured the entire root system of the Thunder Clan’s base and was now able to gather information with ease.

This was actually just one of the Thunder Clan’s many main urban centers, but from here, it was easy to extrapolate the current situation of the entire Thunder Clan, and by extension, the entire Thunder Great Realm.

Sure enough, he soon overheard two members of the Thunder Clan chatting idly.

"Sigh... I have no idea where that Bloodthirsty White Tiger came from. It was clearly only at the Dao Entry Realm in the beginning, yet it managed to barge straight into the Thunder Restricted Area. Now it’s leading a massive army of Dao Entry and even Fusion Realm Demon Generals, holed up inside and launching frantic counterattacks..."

A member of the Thunder Clan sighed. He was genuinely distressed. Although it hadn’t yet reached the point of being a life-or-death crisis for their race, he could already feel the mounting pressure from the Bloodthirsty White Tiger. It was something they could no longer afford to underestimate.
