Chapter 595

Heavenly Lightning Bamboo and Heavenly Lightning Wood are the primary main materials for refining Heavenly Lightning Pearls and Heavenly Lightning Pellets.

“Heavenly Lightning Bamboo, Heavenly Lightning Wood.” A peculiar glint flashed in Mo He's eyes. According to the records of the Heavenly Lightning Dao, these two are ranked first among all heavenly lightning materials, meaning they are the two most crucial types.

The characteristic of Heavenly Lightning Bamboo and Heavenly Lightning Wood is their inherent resistance to Calamity Qi. The primary purpose of Heavenly Lightning Pearls and Heavenly Lightning Pellets, two types of immortal treasures, is precisely to leverage these materials' characteristics to weaken an enemy's Calamity Qi, thereby making them more susceptible to heavenly tribulations. Of course, besides this primary function, Heavenly Lightning Pearls and Heavenly Lightning Pellets also possess considerable offensive power; in fact, they are quite formidable, being associated with heavenly lightning.

The reason Mo He fell into contemplation was due to his current cultivation realm and his present circumstances. For ordinary powerful immortals, finding Heavenly Lightning Bamboo and Heavenly Lightning Wood is exceedingly difficult because these two materials have extremely demanding growth requirements. They can only grow in areas where heavenly tribulation lightning is dense. However, such places are extremely dangerous for powerful immortals; even a slight mishap could trigger their own heavenly tribulation amidst the existing one, leading to their demise.

As for Heavenly Monarch level cultivators, their immense power allows them to move freely even in areas dense with heavenly tribulation lightning. However, Heavenly Monarch level cultivators have very little need for Heavenly Lightning Bamboo and Heavenly Lightning Wood, as Heavenly Lightning Pearls and Heavenly Lightning Pellets are merely auxiliary immortal treasures at their level. While still usable, Heavenly Monarchs primarily rely on their comprehension of the Grand Dao and their mastered magic treasures to enhance their power. Heavenly Lightning Pearls and Heavenly Lightning Pellets are merely supplemental.

For Mo He, who has already reached the Dao Realm and is not far from the Heavenly Monarch level, his need for Heavenly Lightning Bamboo and Heavenly Lightning Wood should, in theory, be very small. However, the crux of the matter is that Mo He is currently among humanity, and within the entire Immortal Realm, he is the sole powerful individual at the Dao Realm. There are also many immortals at the Immortal Realm cultivation level, along with nascent immortals like Yue Ge'er and Yu Xin whose cultivation has not yet reached the Immortal Realm.

For those immortals at the Immortal Realm level, Heavenly Lightning Bamboo and Heavenly Lightning Wood are highly sought after. For Yue Ge'er and Yu Xin, Heavenly Lightning Pearls and Heavenly Lightning Pellets can grant them the ability to challenge those beyond their current cultivation level. Even in the future, when their cultivation reaches the Immortal Realm, Heavenly Lightning Pearls and Heavenly Lightning Pellets will remain among their frequently used techniques, possibly even serving as their trump cards.

Therefore, for Mo He right now, his task is not to seek Heavenly Lightning Bamboo and Heavenly Lightning Wood for himself, but rather to cultivate a group of strong individuals capable of standing on their own for humanity. Heavenly Lightning Bamboo and Heavenly Lightning Wood, along with the Heavenly Lightning Pearls and Pellets refined from them, are indispensable tools for humanity.

At this thought, Mo He remembered something else: humanity's tribulation. The tribulation humanity is currently experiencing was personally initiated by Mo He. While this tribulation carries both blessings and misfortunes for humanity, the dangers remain very real. He must cultivate strong, independent individuals for humanity before the tribulation officially arrives, allowing humanity a greater chance of survival within the tribulation, and perhaps even enabling them to secure a more stable position in the Immortal Realm through this very tribulation.

However, it is exceedingly difficult to protect oneself or even gain benefits during a tribulation. Heavenly Lightning Bamboo and Heavenly Lightning Wood, along with Heavenly Lightning Pearls and Pellets, are very important tools during a tribulation, because Calamity Qi itself originates from heavenly tribulations. Therefore, for Mo He, his current demand for Heavenly Lightning Bamboo and Heavenly Lightning Wood is extremely high, arguably even surpassing that of Heavenly Monarch level cultivators. And this demand is not for his personal use, but for the sake of all humanity.

However, Heavenly Lightning Bamboo and Heavenly Lightning Wood grow in extremely dangerous places, and even a Dao Realm expert like Mo He would face certain risks searching for them. Mo He could feel that the tribulation he was in was not far from its true outbreak. He had to quickly raise humanity's strength within this period to cope with the impending crisis.

“Master!” Yue Ge'er's voice pulled Mo He from his contemplation. He turned to see Yue Ge'er standing beside him, looking as if he had something to say but hesitated.

“What is it?” Mo He asked.

“Master, I know where the Heavenly Lightning Bamboo you just mentioned grows,” Yue Ge'er replied.

“Oh?” A peculiar glint flashed in Mo He's eyes. He had not expected Yue Ge'er to know the growth location of Heavenly Lightning Bamboo. One must understand, the places where Heavenly Lightning Bamboo grows are extremely secretive; even he only found records of them in the ancient texts of the Heavenly Lightning Dao.

“Where did you learn of this?” Mo He asked.

“Master, during my last cultivation journey, I once visited the Heavenly Demon Forest. There, I encountered a non-human, who claimed to be from the Heavenly Lightning Clan. He told me that Heavenly Lightning Bamboo grows within the Heavenly Demon Forest,” Yue Ge'er replied.

“Heavenly Lightning Clan?” Mo He's brows furrowed slightly. This was the first time he had heard of a Heavenly Lightning Clan existing in the Immortal Realm. One must know that the Heavenly Lightning Clan is very rare, even extraordinarily so, within the Immortal Realm.

“Yes, Master. That non-human also told me that only members of their Heavenly Lightning Clan can enter the growth sites of Heavenly Lightning Bamboo; other non-humans cannot even approach them,” Yue Ge'er replied.

Upon hearing this, Mo He fell into contemplation. He hadn't expected a Heavenly Lightning Clan to exist in the Immortal Realm, and from Yue Ge'er's words, it seemed this Heavenly Lightning Clan controlled the growth sites of Heavenly Lightning Bamboo, which somewhat surprised Mo He. If the Heavenly Lightning Clan truly controlled the Heavenly Lightning Bamboo growth sites, then he would need to deal with them to acquire the bamboo. This would not be an easy task for Mo He, as he knew absolutely nothing about the Heavenly Lightning Clan.

“Where is that person from the Heavenly Lightning Clan you met last time now?” Mo He asked.

“I don't know, Master. After speaking with me, that non-human departed, and I don't know where he went,” Yue Ge'er replied.

Mo He frowned slightly upon hearing this. It seemed finding the Heavenly Lightning Clan would require some effort. However, having learned the whereabouts of Heavenly Lightning Bamboo, he naturally wouldn't let the opportunity slip.

“Master, I have one more thing,” Yue Ge'er spoke again.

“Speak,” Mo He said.

“Master, last time in the Heavenly Demon Forest, I also discovered a place with dense Calamity Qi. I suspect that might be the growth site of Heavenly Lightning Bamboo within the Heavenly Demon Forest,” Yue Ge'er replied.

A peculiar glint flashed in Mo He's eyes upon hearing this. He hadn't expected Yue Ge'er to have such a discovery. If the place Yue Ge'er described truly was the growth site of Heavenly Lightning Bamboo, it would save him a considerable amount of time.

“Tell me the exact location of that place,” Mo He said.

“Yes, Master!” Yue Ge'er nodded and then provided Mo He with the precise location of the place he had discovered.

A sharp glint flashed in Mo He's eyes upon hearing this. He hadn't expected Yue Ge'er to be able to find such a place; it seemed Yue Ge'er had quite good luck. However, Mo He also knew that Yue Ge'er's discovery was due more to his Immortal Realm cultivation and the Heavenly Lightning Dao inheritance within him, which allowed him to sense the presence of Calamity Qi, rather than just luck.

“Yue Ge'er, you've done very well. For now, you and Yu Xin will remain here and refine some Heavenly Lightning Pearls and Pellets. Once you have a sufficient quantity, I will take you to the Heavenly Demon Forest,” Mo He said.

“Yes, Master!” Yue Ge'er nodded and then departed.

Mo He watched Yue Ge'er's retreating back, a peculiar glint in his eyes. He hadn't expected Yue Ge'er to discover such a place; it seemed Yue Ge'er was quite fortunate.

Mo He now had a very bold idea: to transfer humanity's tribulation into the Heavenly Demon Forest. This way, the Calamity Qi in the Heavenly Demon Forest would become even denser, leading to the increased growth of Heavenly Lightning Bamboo and Heavenly Lightning Wood. Consequently, humanity would acquire more Heavenly Lightning Bamboo and Heavenly Lightning Wood, as well as Heavenly Lightning Pearls and Pellets.

Of course, Mo He merely entertained this thought. The difficulty of such an endeavor was immense, arguably impossible to achieve. After all, the Heavenly Demon Forest also harbored powerful beings, and quite a number of them. If Mo He were to do this, he would inevitably become a complete adversary to the powerful beings within the Heavenly Demon Forest. At that point, facing all the powerful beings in the Heavenly Demon Forest by himself would be an impossible feat.

Mo He shook his head, casting aside this unrealistic idea. What he most needed to do now was to quickly enhance humanity's strength to meet the impending tribulation.

Mo He stood still, looking at the place where Heavenly Lightning Bamboo grew, lost in thought.
