Myth Beyond Heaven

"Good. Here, take this." Han Bingling flicked her hand, sending a small yellow crystal to Lin Xinyao.

When the crystal landed on Lin Xinyao, she was instantly electrocuted, but it didn't hurt her in the slightest. She carefully observed the yellow crystal and saw faint lightning flashed within it from time to time.

"This is Thunder Crystal. You have to hold this to enter Thunder Valley. Go prepare yourself. I will find someone to follow you." Han Bingling explained.

Lin Xinyao stored the Thunder Crystal away and went to the side room, preparing for the next journey.

Han Bingling watched her disciple entered the room and then contacted her trusted aides.

"Phew… That was close." Yun Lintian appeared several kilometers away, but it was still in the mountain range as he could see the lightning barrier at the end of his sight.

"How am I going to enter…." He looked at the mountain and muttered to himself. Since the entrance was tightly guarded, his chance of entering Thunder Valley was naturally zero. 

Yun Lintian racked his brain up and found no solution. Was he going to give up like this? He was undoubtedly unwilling, but what could he do with his pitiful strength.

"It seems I have to go back and practice obediently… What the…?" Just as Yun Lintian was about to give up and go back, he saw a lightning bolt shot out from the lightning barrier straight at him. Before he could react, the lightning was already hitting him, coiling around him like a snake, and pulled him toward the mountain.

Everything happened in one second. Yun Lintian had no way to resist and could only let the lightning python drag him away. Surprisingly, when Yun Lintian hit the lightning barrier, he could pass through it like nothing, causing him to wonder what happened… Maybe it is because of the lightning thing from that person?

Yun Lintian had no time to think further as he found himself on a mountain path with some burnt trees. The lightning that brought him here had long disappeared without him knowing.

Zzzzz…Bang!

A golden lightning bolt struck on the ground several meters away from Yun Lintian, making him shudder slightly. It was a body's instinct facing lightning bolt up close.

Yun Lintian looked at the dark sky filled with dark clouds, and there were lightning bolts flashed from time to time, looking spectacular. He retracted his gaze to check the surrounding area. Aside from unknown burnt trees, he didn't discover any sign of life. 

Yun Lintian had no clue which direction he should go. In the end, he chose to climb the mountain as it was made sense the most.

As he moved, Yun Lintian noticed the lightning bolts were increased until he reached an opened area with dense lightning bolts continued to bombard. Unless he went through this, there was no way he could go further.

Yun Lintian was observing the area and discovered a bunch of golden grasses behind the lightning curtain. "Thunder Grass?" 

Each leaf of the grasses had a lightning shape. Coupled with the fact that they weren't burned by the lightning bolt but absorbed it instead. Yun Lintian was certain this was the Thunder Grass he was looking for.

However, Yun Lintian could not simply walk through the lightning curtain to get them. He looked around for one last time and decided to summon the Beyond Heaven King's Crown, as he believed it could help him resist the lightning bolt.

The majestic crown appeared on Yun Lintian's head, emitting a golden glow upon perceiving the surrounding lightning element. Yun Lintian was taken aback when he found the crown seemed to absorb the lightning element. At the same time, he discovered his affinity with the lightning element soared rapidly. The lightning bolt in front of him gradually became less threatening to him.

"As expected from the plot armor." Yun Lintian was delighted and drew closer to the lightning curtain.

Even though he knew the lightning could not harm him now, he was still cautious by reaching his hand to test the lightning bolt.

Bang!

The lightning bolt struck precisely on Yun Lintian's palm, but it didn't harm Yun Lintian in the slightest. On the contrary, Yun Lintian perceived vital energy flushed into his body. His muscles, vein, and blood vessels, everything was greedily absorbed the incoming energy.

Yun Lintian had the urge to moan, as it was too comfortable. Without further hesitation, he stepped forward and sat on the Thunder Grasses, closing his eyes, welcoming the lightning bolt.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One after another, lightning bolts continued to strike on Yun Lintian's body until his clothes were completely burned. At this moment, Yun Lintian entered an enlightening state, wholly ignored the surrounding. His mind was solely focused on the change in his body.

Yun Lintian's strength gradually rose as time passed, from the third level to the fourth level and then the fifth level of Essence Profound Realm. This speed could not be described as a miracle anymore. 

It wasn't only his essence that increased, but his body and soul were also improved significantly. Especially his body, Yun Lintian believed he could kill any Spirit Profound Beast with his brute strength alone.

According to the Primordial Beyond Heaven Scripture, Yun Lintian's current body had officially stepped into the first level's standard. All Yun Lintian needed to do from now on was to raise his essence and soul to the same level so that he could ultimately achieve the first level of Primordial Beyond Heaven Scripture.

While Yun Lintian was immersed in his practice, the outside of Thunder Valley was now full of people. Whether it was Han Bingling, Lin Xinyao, Fu Tiangang, Ming Wu or Qi Yuanfeng, everyone was present.

"What's going on?" Fu Tiangang asked the guard with a solemn expression. 

Earlier, the Thunder Valley was shaken violently, alarming everyone in the city. When Fu Tiangang and the rest arrived, the mountain was already returned to its original calm. However, Fu Tiangang discovered the Thunder Valley entrance was loosened. It was as though the entrance could be opened at any time.
