Lei Ying Was Quite Surprised

A month later.

They arrived at Sky-Thunder City through a spatial wormhole.

Once there, Mang Tianchi led them straight toward the Thunder Mountain Range.

Because Mang Tianchi was with them, the guards naturally did not stop them. Only after entering the Thunder Realm did Mang Tianchi finally let out a sigh of relief.

After all, anything concerning Lei Qi was exceedingly important to him and could not be handled carelessly.

There had not been any major changes within the clan. However, when they entered the Thunder Realm, Cao Ying, Little Fairy Doctor, Qing Lin, Zi Yan, and Cai Lin, who had returned with Lei Qi, were all utterly stunned!

Even the patrolling Thunder Legion soldiers were all above the Dou King level!

And their commanders had all reached the Dou Venerate realm.

Within the Thunder Clan, Dou Emperors and Dou Ancestors could be seen everywhere!

"So... this is your clan?" Cai Lin asked in astonishment.

"Mm." Lei Qi nodded.

"Just what kind of great clan is your family?" Cao Ying asked as well.

Perhaps only these two women could truly recognize just how terrifying this clan was.

As for Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin, they merely felt that the Thunder Clan was enormous. The fact that such a paradise existed amid those rolling thunder-filled mountains was simply unbelievable.

Lei Qi did not hide anything. Looking at the women, he said, "The Central Plains are far more complicated than you know. The so-called One Hall, One Tower, Two Sects, Three Valleys, and Four Pavilions are merely broad classifications. The truly powerful factions actually far surpass those forces. Take our Dou Di clans, for example. We have been passed down from ancient times for tens of thousands of years. Many clans declined and withdrew from the stage of history, but eight clans survived. Oh, to be precise, there should be seven clans."

"These seven clans are the Soul Clan, Ancient Clan, Thunder Clan, Flame Clan, Medicine Clan, Stone Clan, and Spirit Clan."

"Dou Di clans are clans that once produced Dou Di experts. Our Thunder Clan is one of them. Because we possess Dou Di bloodlines, our cultivation progresses naturally faster than that of ordinary people. Of course, such bloodlines have both benefits and drawbacks. Those with purer bloodlines can easily reach the Dou Saint realm, but those with weaker bloodlines may find everything easy before becoming a Dou Venerate. Yet once their cultivation reaches the Dou Venerate realm, the bloodline instead becomes a burden. At that point, even with resources, it is difficult to advance."

Upon hearing Lei Qi's words, the women were all left stunned.

Everything before the Dou Venerate realm came easily!

Dou Di clans were truly terrifying!!

As for what came after Dou Venerate, that was simply too distant for them.

They did not even know when they would have a chance to reach that level.

As they spoke, Mang Tianchi had already led them to the entrance of the inner realm.

Mang Tianchi glanced at the women behind Lei Qi and hesitated. However, Lei Qi said, "Elder Mang Tianchi, they are all my concubines. Wherever I am, they naturally need to be there as well."

Hearing Lei Qi say this, Mang Tianchi hesitated for a moment.

After all, the inner realm was not a place just anyone could enter.

"I will personally report this to the clan leader. Rest assured, if he does not permit it, I will bring them back out," Lei Qi added.

"Very well." Mang Tianchi finally nodded in agreement.

After all, these women were all extraordinary!

Medusa's true form was a Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python. At her peak, she could rival a Dou Saint expert.

Little Fairy Doctor possessed the Woeful Poison Body, a peculiar constitution that could grow stronger simply by absorbing vast quantities of poison. Most importantly, Lei Qi had a way to resolve the drawbacks of this constitution!!!

In other words, she would become another existence with exceptional talent.

Qing Lin possessed special eyes. As long as they were snake-type magical beasts without divine beast bloodlines, they could become her nourishment. With a sufficient supply of snake-type magical beasts and enough cultivation resources, she would also become a gifted cultivator.

Cao Ying was an alchemy genius. Despite being so young and having no bloodline to speak of, her talent in alchemy was no worse than that of the Medicine Clan.

Finally, there was Zi Yan. She was even more outrageous!

Her true form was actually a Void Ancient Dragon!!

Void Ancient Dragons were the undisputed overlords of the magical beast world, and they were also a magical beast clan passed down from ancient times.

Lei Qi clearly intended to cultivate these women himself.

Since he had said so himself, Mang Tianchi naturally did not stop them any further.

The group smoothly entered the inner realm. Before they could even go looking for Lei Ying, a powerful spatial fluctuation spread out. In the next moment, Lei Ying appeared before them.

Lei Ying's appearance stunned the women present!

Powerful!

What they sensed from Lei Ying was an oppressive force that made it hard to breathe.

Although Lei Ying did not release even a trace of Dou Qi, for some reason, standing before such a man, they did not even dare breathe too loudly.

Only then did Cai Lin realize that she, too, had been a frog at the bottom of a well!

The Thunder Clan's strength was far beyond anything she could imagine.

"Lei Qi, are you feeling any discomfort?" Lei Ying ignored the others and instead looked at Lei Qi as he asked.

"Before returning, I did indeed sense the Black Demon Lightning in my body becoming restless. But for some reason, it seemed to have been suppressed again on the way back," Lei Qi replied.

"Oh?"

Lei Ying looked at him with a hint of surprise, then sent a stream of Dou Qi into his body.

After examining him, he exclaimed, "The Black Demon Lightning has indeed been suppressed. It even seems more stable than when you left the clan. But... your Black Demon Lightning also seems much stronger. Why is that?"

"I absorbed the Fallen Heart Flame," Lei Qi said.

"It seems your Black Demon Lightning truly possesses a strange effect. It should be capable of devouring heavenly and earthly spiritual objects. However, I think you should refrain from doing such things until you reach the Dou Venerate realm. It is too dangerous," Lei Ying said seriously.

"Yes." Lei Qi agreed.

Only then did Lei Ying notice Cai Lin and the others. Upon seeing them, he looked at Lei Qi again.

The meaning in his gaze seemed to be asking: This is what you meant by going out to train and spreading your wings like an eagle??

In response to Lei Ying's question, Lei Qi said, "They are all gains from this journey. They are all my concubines."

Upon hearing Lei Qi's words, all of the women except Zi Yan blushed shyly.

To Zi Yan, pills were her greatest love. As for everything else, it was not worth caring about at all. The reason she obediently followed Lei Qi was naturally because he was stronger than her and fed her all kinds of energy-filled pills!
