"Brother, the cultivation methods created by humans are more suitable for your kind to practice, not for us beasts," Soar said as he shrunk his body. He shook his head and added, "Besides, since birth, we beasts can mostly gain better insights into the inherited cultivation methods in our bodies. On the other hand, we are less perceptive about other cultivation methods."
"I see!" Ricky nodded. "Nevertheless, this puts you at a disadvantage."
"Brother, there are advantages and disadvantages of this innate ability of insight. It's indeed difficult for us to learn other cultivation methods. But conversely, the inherited ones are tailor-made for us. We can cultivate any of those methods to their completeness without exerting great effort and first gaining deep insights."
"Well, I can surmise that you beasts have some admiration of us humans. Soar, you know, only the most excellent and gifted human beings are able to practice cultivation methods to completeness," Ricky murmured.
"Brother, we need to pause our conversation here. I think I need to break through the Thunderstroke Doom very soon," Soar interrupted him in a serious tone.
"Are you sure you'll make it?" Ricky asked, instantly somber.
"Brother, you should know that after a long period of constant concentration and consolidation of cultivation, before I entered the scattering land of the ancient battlefield, I could have chosen to break through the Thunderstroke Doom. After entering that place, I even spent a month comprehending the enlightening power derived from the Enlightening Cliff," Soar responded with confidence.
"However if with all these efforts, I will remain unable to break through the Thunderstroke Doom and reach the innate realm, then I don't think that I still deserve my title of the Great Dragon as Heaven Melting Dragon."
"All right Soar. Now that you're confident enough, please proceed," replied Ricky with a nod.
He no longer felt any more worries. All he needed to do was to have faith in Soar and stand behind him.
They exchanged serious glances, expressing their unspoken agreement. Soar made up his mind to break through the Thunderstroke Doom of supreme enlightenment, his spirit shining with determination and courage.
Generally speaking, many of the warriors who enjoyed their status as demi-immortals for decades or hundreds of years didn't dare attempt to break through even though their power and cultivation levels had reached the peak of demi-immortality long ago. There was only one reason for such inaction: their deep fear for the Thunderstroke Doom of supreme enlightenment.
They refused to break through the Thunderstroke Doom at the peak of cultivation, and instead felt obliged to do so when signs of deterioration appeared and natural death was near. In this case, the most possible result was that they would die the cruelest death in the Thunderstroke Doom due to a loss of tremendous power and cultivation ambitions at the peak.
In the process of having a breakthrough of the Thunderstroke Doom, they had to ensure with utmost certainty that nothing went wrong, especially disturbances from the power exerted by outsiders of the activity. Otherwise, the aforementioned consequence would take place.
However, when the Thunderstroke Doom appeared, all the innate spiritual kings in the Realm of Wildness would feel it and would rush here as soon as possible, which would put Soar in danger.
Only if several innate spiritual kings came in advance to stand guard for Soar could his safety be guaranteed. But this was rather unrealistic. After all, human innate spiritual kings banned the existence of innate spiritual king beasts!
"Soar, when you are breaking through the Thunderstroke Doom, will powerful warriors beyond the innate spiritual emperor level discover your true identity as the Great Dragon?" Ricky asked in the isolated dense forest, using his internal power to communicate mentally.
"Brother, before my appearance grows into that of the Great Dragon, creatures unrelated to my species may only see me as an ordinary creature with the strong blood of the Great Dragon," Soar replied.
"This is merely a conjecture though, because the powerful warriors you just mentioned are exceptionally insightful and knowledgeable. We the Great Dragon species have been hiding our true identity for decades, but it is still possible that they may discover who we are."
"Is that so? Well, your safety is a substantially tricky problem here then," Ricky remarked thoughtfully after hearing what Soar said.
"Brother, I understand what you said. I agree to ask Tina and Doris for help. I trust them. Besides, I desire to capture this great opportunity to make a breakthrough at this moment," Soar replied.
"There are inevitable challenges and dangers in the martial arts world, so..."
