The Fourth-Order Thunder Wriggle Beast hasn't shown any significant increase in combat capabilities; however, the horn on its head can absorb and store more Power of Heavenly Thunder, converting it into lightning spells to attack enemies.
Its Earth Escape Technique has greatly improved, almost on par with the Earth Escape Technique of Stone, the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer.
Due to its unique racial traits, even in marshy mud, its Earth Escape Technique remains effective.
This is an area where it surpasses the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer Stone by a margin.
Additionally, another advantage of this kind of Demon Beast is that its excrement greatly aids in promoting the growth of Spirit Plants.
Ordinary Demon Beasts have complex diets, and their excrement contains chaotic spiritual power, often too potent, which can burn or damage most Spirit Plants upon absorption.
However, Thunder Wriggle Beast's excrement is different.
With its simple diet and preference for living in moist muddy environments, the spiritual power in its excrement is relatively pure and gentle, making it easy for Spirit Plants to absorb.
Upon discovering this, Zhou Chun instructed it to excrete at fixed locations, then periodically had people collect the excrement to nurture those Rare Spiritual Medicines.
This might be its only use for many years to come!
Approximately six months after the Thunder Wriggle Beast advanced to Fourth Order, Zhou Zhiying's Heavenly Wind Thunder Hawk also successfully advanced to Fourth Order with the help of Emperor Flow Nectar.
This time, Zhou Chun didn't need to conceal anything for it.
The Fourth-Order Heavenly Wind Thunder Hawk soared above Green Lotus Peak, whipping up a storm of thunderclouds, freely demonstrating its powerful abilities after the advancement.
Even though it just successfully advanced, it could already defeat the Fire Divine Jackal, which advanced years before it, and even the Green Flood Dragon of Zhou Daoyi.
The combination of wind and thunder attributes was indeed overwhelmingly powerful, granting it unmatched speed and attack power; even the Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai wouldn't dare to claim it could suppress it steadily in this realm back then.
However, with the presence of the Fifth-order Demon King, Silver Dragon Monarch, the appearance of a Fourth-Order Demon Beast no longer stirred much discussion in the Jingguo Country Cultivation Realm.
It was primarily within the Zhou Family that some cultivators felt joyous and inspired, motivating them to cultivate their own Spirit Pets zealously.
In fact, now the Zhou Family is indeed experiencing a wave in nurturing Spirit Pets.
From the great gains during the beast tide war a century ago, the Zhou Family acquired numerous mid-to-high-order Demon Beast corpses and Demon Cores.
Zhou Chun even placed a Fourth-Order Demon Pill into the Family Treasure Vault for the exchange by family cultivators.
Currently, the Zhou Family's Family Treasure Vault contains a considerable number of Spiritual Objects that can assist Demon Beasts in breaking through the major barriers of the Second and Third Orders.
In the past, many Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Purple Mansion Cultivators of the Zhou Family, having received Magic Artifacts awarded by family elders after breaking through major barriers, would soon find themselves with surplus Merit Points and little to exchange in the Family Treasure Vault to significantly benefit themselves.
Yet now, many just lament that they don't have enough Merit Points to exchange for the truly precious items in the Family Treasure Vault.
For instance, the Fourth-Order Demon Pill or the superior Thunder Talisman placed by Zhou Chun, even the Golden Elixir Elders of the Zhou Family find it difficult to exchange for these items.
After all, besides Zhou Mingde, Zhou Daoyi, and a few other family elders, most of the Zhou Family's Golden Elixir Elders have not long completed their Core Formation; despite some earlier Merit Points accumulation, compared to the million Merit Points required to exchange for those items, they are vastly insufficient.
Yet, with these hopes in place, many Zhou family members now earnestly cultivate and complete family tasks, hoping to accumulate enough Merit Points early to exchange for the items they've been eyeing.
And this represents the optimal operational status within a power.
Only by giving sect disciples or family members visible goals will they genuinely strive to serve the sect and family, which is far more effective than compelling them through authority or duty.
Now, with thousands of cultivators serving the Zhou Family, top cultivators like Zhou Chun can peacefully enjoy the conveniences brought by these individuals.
For instance, all his Spirit Pets have their favored food types, which the Zhou Family cultivators now hunt and supply abundantly.
Whenever he attempts alchemy or artifact refining, he can freely take suitable materials from the Family Treasure Vault; if something isn't available, a task is issued, and naturally, someone will promptly assist in seeking it out.
Simultaneously, he doesn't need to investigate or pay attention to any cultivation world information, as the Zhou Family's Intelligence Hall has already established a branch near the Great Zhou Kingdom, organizing and sending significant cultivation world events around Great Zhou back to Jingguo every six months.
Regarding the Tianling Region's intelligence, as long as it's major cultivation world event information, such as where someone formed their Core or where two Golden Core families fought over a vein, all this information would soon be compiled and sent back to the Zhou Family for Zhou Chun's viewing at any time.
Though he possesses the Purifying Heavenly Vessel and might not need to worry about the Evil Qi's influence, the convenience provided by a power structure is something a solitary cultivator cannot easily enjoy.
Not to mention the impending successful setup of the Heavenly Yi Green Dragon Formation.
This level of Forbidden Formation, with its immense protective capabilities, also requires a considerable amount of personnel to maintain its operation, which isn't something any lone cultivator can manage on their own.
