Led by Senior Brother Si, a local, the two arrived at the Thunderclap Platform half an hour later.

From a distance, the view of Tianleitai is breathtaking.

Above a mountain range, dark clouds gathered, and thunder rumbled. Lightning flashed through the clouds like silver dragons dancing in the air. Every now and then, bolts of lightning ripped across the sky, illuminating the entire mountain range and making the Thunder Platform appear even more dangerous.

Senior Brother Si pointed ahead and said, "Junior Sister, that's the Thunderclap Platform. There's a small path at the foot of the mountain ahead, but I won't accompany you up there."

He pretended to be scared and shrank his neck.

Lin Yitang sneered inwardly at Si Shixiong's reaction. She was already used to this kind of behavior from her senior brother, and nodded, saying, "Alright, I'll go up and take a look myself."

After saying that, she hurried down the mountain.

Meanwhile, Senior Brother Si waited leisurely and pleasantly in the same spot, just like he had in the Crimson Flame Cave.

However, this time was different from before; he planned to go in and take a look later because he wanted to obtain Lin Yitang's spirit beast.

He knew a path with less lightning, but didn't tell Lin Yitang. He planned to follow the path up the mountain to find her. The main side of the mountain was where the most lightning struck, and if Lin Yitang went straight there, she would definitely be struck dead. As for the little bird, it was a spirit creature; lightning strikes people but not spirit beasts, so he could just go up the mountain to retrieve it.

This is killing two birds with one stone!

Thinking of this, he felt an immense sense of anticipation.

On the other hand, when Lin Yitang arrived at the foot of the mountain, she found that there were quite a few people there.

She was slightly surprised, as she had thought that a dangerous place like Tianleitai should be sparsely populated.

Upon closer inspection, Lin Yitang saw that there were more than a dozen cultivators here, with cultivation levels ranging from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core. Most of them came from major sects, such as the Tianyan Sect and the Tianxuan Sect. Lin Yitang even spotted a few disciples from the Taique Sect.

These cultivators included both men and women, and their appearances varied. There were young men and women, as well as middle-aged cultivators.

Lin Yitang continued to observe the group of people and noticed that they were all in different states.

Some of the people looked as if they had just come down from the mountain, their bodies charred black, clearly struck by lightning. They sat on the ground, their faces pale, panting heavily.

Some people were eager to try, but they also observed very carefully and did not rush over immediately.

Some sect disciples gathered in twos and threes, discussing their experiences inside the Heavenly Thunder Platform in hushed tones.

"This Heavenly Thunder Platform is indeed powerful. I had only walked a few feet before I was struck down." A young cultivator sighed, his tone full of resentment.

"Haha, I'm a bit better than you, I walked ten zhang." His friend next to him laughed, his tone tinged with pride.

“You’re all better than me,” another cultivator said with a wry smile. “I didn’t even make it to the foot of the mountain before I was forced to come back. Looks like I’m not qualified enough.”

"There's no other way. After all, you're the most talented among us. This Thunder Platform is set up to test geniuses. The more talented you are, the greater the pressure you face."

Upon hearing these words, Lin Yitang couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Fellow Daoists, is what you're saying true? Is the Heavenly Thunder Platform really that dangerous?"

The cultivators from those sects looked at Lin Yitang upon hearing the sound, their expressions wary. They sized her up, seemingly assessing her identity and strength.

The female disciple in front of him was wearing a plain, low-grade gray robe. It was impossible to tell which sect she belonged to. She seemed to be a beginner in the Foundation Establishment stage. She was good-looking and looked very young.

Because Lin Yitang wore an ordinary robe over her sect disciple's robe to keep a low profile when she left the sect, others could not tell that she was a disciple of the Taique Sect.

"Fellow Daoist, may I ask who you are and which sect you belong to?" one of the cultivators asked warily.

Lin Yitang cupped his hands and said, "My surname is Lin, and I come from an ordinary small sect in the west. I am nothing special. If you fellow Daoists can tell me detailed information about the Heavenly Thunder Platform, I am willing to offer a bottle of Spirit Gathering Pills as a token of my gratitude."

The Spirit Gathering Pill is a pill taken in the early and middle stages of Foundation Establishment that can increase cultivation level. It is an indispensable resource for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

This is the monthly allowance for inner disciples in the Taique Sect. Lin Yitang received it from the Hall of Affairs before leaving the sect, and he had no use for it. But for disciples of ordinary minor sects, it is an extremely rare and valuable resource that they have to fight tooth and nail to obtain.

Seeing that Lin Yitang was willing to pay such a high price to inquire about a piece of information, the group of cultivators were all tempted.

Spirit Gathering Pills are treasures that can increase cultivation level. In their sect, this is a privilege enjoyed only by top-tier direct disciples. For ordinary disciples like them, it's something they can only dream of.

Soon, a female cultivator stood up, cupped her hands towards Lin Yitang, and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, we are disciples of the Eastern Heavenly Sound Sect. We have come to the Thunder Platform to train and seek opportunities. If you want to know about the Thunder Platform, we are willing to answer your questions."

Seeing that someone responded, Lin Yitang's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "I wonder if any of you fellow Daoists have ever entered the Heavenly Thunder Platform?"

The female cultivator nodded: "My fellow disciples and I have all tried to enter the Heavenly Thunder Platform. However..."

She paused, a bitter smile appearing on her face, "None of us were able to go very far."

The female cultivator then continued to explain the Thunder Platform. According to her, the Thunder Platform is located on the mountaintop, and to get there, one must brave the lightning from the foot of the mountain to reach the summit; flying and teleportation are not permitted.

However, this was no easy task. They had to endure extremely long periods of lightning strikes along the way, which many cultivators could not withstand, and some even died.

Ninety-nine percent of cultivators would give up, either being blasted back to the foot of the mountain by lightning, or being severely injured and unable to descend on their own, ultimately dying from lightning strikes. Therefore, the exact appearance of the Heavenly Thunder Platform remains unknown to this day.

She pointed to the mountaintop in the distance: "Look, the faint light visible on that mountaintop is where the Thunderclap Platform is located. So far, I haven't seen anyone reach the top."

Seeing that many people at the foot of the mountain tried to enter, but were blasted down after walking a distance, leaving them charred and half-dead, Lin Yitang had no choice but to nod in agreement.

It seems that the Heavenly Thunder Platform is indeed not so easy for anyone to climb. Moreover, Lin Yitang herself is a genius, and the pressure she needs to bear is greater than that of ordinary people.

But this was exactly what she wanted; risk is usually accompanied by opportunity. Since so few people had yet ascended the Heavenly Thunder Platform, it meant that few had yet obtained the opportunities it offered. Wasn't this an opportunity?

This man-made training ground is very likely a place with a tradition passed down through generations. The view from the mountaintop is also highly anticipated.

Thinking of this, Lin Yitang's fighting spirit was instantly ignited. She was going to reach the top of the mountain!

at the same time.

Brother Si, who lived not far from the foot of the mountain, found a hotel and checked in, and began recording the time it took for Lin Yitang to go up the mountain.

He gazed at the Thunderclap Platform in the distance, a strange smile playing on his lips.

Whether it's Lin Yitang or those cultivators lingering at the foot of the mountain, they're all truly foolish. They only know how to force their way through, but they don't know there's a shortcut.

He was hoping to see Lin Yitang's corpse as soon as he went up. He knew that the mortality rate on the Heavenly Thunder Platform was as high as 50%; once struck by lightning, one would be reduced to nothing but dust.
