Chapter 2767
At this moment, Kai had successfully led the Three Monstrous Thieves to the vicinity of the Eagle King’s Cave.
Kai could distinctly sense the overwhelming power of thunder and lightning radiating from within the cave, a force that undoubtedly stemmed from the Heavenly Thunder Tree!
This lightning energy was even more formidable than the lightning tribulation Kai had previously endured!
His heart raced; being at only the second level of the Harmonious Body Realm, the thought of encountering a powerful figure who had undergone a tribulation sent shivers down his spine. He knew that even with all his life-saving skills, he would stand no chance of survival!
The Three Monstrous Thieves shared his concerns about the menacing Thunder Hawk King. Even ordinary Bloodthirsty Thunder Hawks posed a significant threat, and facing the Thunder Hawk King would likely lead to their swift demise!
Taking a deep breath, Kai cast several concealment spells to mask their presence. He then cautiously moved closer to the entrance of the Eagle King’s Cave!
Unbeknownst to him, the Thunder Eagle King was absent from the cave. If the King had been present, Kai’s efforts to conceal his aura would have been utterly futile!
Reaching the transmigration stage is a challenging endeavor, with every step requiring extensive preparation and resources for the final push!
Only one in ten cultivators succeed in this stage, while many spend their entire lives in transition!
However, once a cultivator breaks through this stage, they return to their origins and experience their true power. Only those who have achieved this can be regarded as genuine half-immortals.
At this point, they merely need to enhance their strength slightly, awaiting the day of their ascension, as cultivators in this realm are akin to ordinary mortals!
As Kai stealthily approached the Eagle King’s Cave alongside the Three Monstrous Thieves, Ning Cai Chen and members of the Ning Clan were making their way toward the same destination!
Simultaneously, numerous other cultivators were also inching closer!
The allure of the Heavenly Thunder Fruit was simply too great, prompting many to take such risks!
Various groups were converging on the Eagle King’s Cave, each suppressing their breathing and hiding their presence to the utmost degree!
However, just as Kai reached the entrance of the cave, he suddenly froze in place!
The groups collided and exchanged glances!
Kai scanned the crowd and recognized many familiar faces among the cultivators from the dirigible, including Shi Tieqiao and an elderly woman.
Spotting Kai with the Three Monstrous Thieves, Shi Tieqiao’s face instantly darkened with anger!
Kai then turned his gaze toward a group of unfamiliar faces, but their attire suggested they belonged to a clan or sect!
His attention was soon drawn to Ning Can; Kai’s brow furrowed slightly. He found the figure vaguely familiar, as though he had seen him before, but couldn’t place where!
Ning Can, in turn, noticed Kai and appeared equally taken aback. He scrutinized Kai for a few seconds but couldn’t recall who he was!
After all, when they had last crossed paths, Kai had been blending in with the villagers, so Ning Can had paid him little heed!
“Mr. Chen, look over there—someone from the Ning family. I didn’t expect to see them at the Eagle King Cave too.”
Da Jie whispered to Kai!
Kai had no recollection of the Ning family and had never heard of them, so he didn’t pay much attention.
His primary concern was Shi Tieqiao; he feared that Shi Tieqiao might act impulsively, which could expose their concealed presence and lead to their discovery!
“Elder Shi…”
As the groups stood in a daze, Ning Cai Chen gradually approached Shi Tieqiao and offered a greeting!
It was clear that Ning Cai Chen was acquainted with Shi Tieqiao!
“Master Ning, I didn’t anticipate your arrival with others at the Eagle King Cave. Are you also here for the Heavenly Thunder Fruit?”
Said Shi Tieqiao, addressing Ning Cai Chen!
Ning Cai Chen smiled and replied nonchalantly, “Elder Shi, you’ve brought quite a few people yourself—are you not here for the Heavenly Thunder Fruit as well?”
