The female supporting character in the cultivation world only wants to grow flowers and become stron

Just as Senior Brother Si was mocking Lin Yitang and the others who were planning to brave the thunder to go up the mountain.

at this time.

A gathering place for disciples of the Tianyin Sect.

The female cultivator looked at Lin Yitang, who was eager to try, and suddenly lowered her voice, her expression very solemn: "Fellow Daoist Lin, you can go up the mountain if you want, but before that, there is something I must remind you of, and that is not to take shortcuts."

"No matter which direction you go up Tianleitai, it is equally dangerous. There is only one direction you must never go, and that is a small path on the ridge."

Lin Yitang frowned slightly and asked, "What are the characteristics of this path?"

The female cultivator said, "The only and most significant characteristic of this path is that there is very little lightning. I heard this from a rogue cultivator. It is said that a powerful thunder beast is sleeping on the mountain, and the place with little lightning is likely where it resides."

At this point, the female cultivator couldn't help but swallow, a hint of fear appearing on her face. "If we do anything that awakens the Thunder Beast, everyone present will be in danger. That's no ordinary demon beast; it's a being with the power to destroy the world."

Lin Yitang nodded thoughtfully, indicating that she understood the female cultivator's meaning.

As a cultivator who came here for training, she naturally wouldn't choose to take shortcuts, as that would be rather awkward. She smiled slightly at the female cultivator and thanked her, saying, "Thank you for reminding me, I understand."

As she spoke, she handed a bottle of Spirit Gathering Pills to the female cultivator and then turned and walked towards the foot of the mountain.

At this time, not only cultivators from the Tianyin Sect, but also cultivators from other sects gathered in twos and threes, helping each other. It seemed that most sect disciples came out to train in groups, and there were very few like Lin Yitang who were alone; most were independent cultivators without companions.

Lin Yitang saw the disciples of the Taique Sect, but did not go forward to make acquaintances. Instead, she turned her attention to the cultivators of the Tianxuan Sect and the Tianyan Sect. She stood quietly in the crowd, occasionally hearing some whispers around her.

"I heard that Li Wuwang of the Taique Sect has already broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. This mountain should be a piece of cake for him."

"Zhao Qianyue of the Tianxuan Sect is no ordinary person either; she is hailed as a genius that appears only once in a century."

"Don't forget Lu Jingyun of the Tianyan Sect. His swordsmanship is said to have reached the pinnacle."

The crowd chatted amongst themselves, discussing the renowned geniuses among the three major sects, speculating who would be the first to climb the mountain and stand out in this trial.

Lin Yitang then realized that in the central region, most cultivators from each sect knew each other, forming a huge social circle. Especially those sects ranked in the top twenty, top ten, and top three, their disciples were known to almost everyone, because these sects were places where geniuses gathered.

She had assumed that even if others saw disciples from the three major sects, they would only recognize their disciple robes. However, she was surprised to find that most of them knew each other.

Thanks to the conversations of those around her, she also got to know several disciples from major sects.

Lin Yitang's gaze inadvertently fell on the disciple sent by the Tianxuan Sect.

As the strongest sect in the cultivation world, the Heavenly Profound Sect sent a female cultivator at the Golden Core stage, who was leading a group of disciples.

The female cultivator was dressed in a white Taoist robe, its flowing fabric giving her a cool and aloof air, like the snow on a high mountain, making her unapproachable. She was tall and slender, with an upright posture, like a solitary pine tree.

His expression was indifferent, devoid of any worldly air; his eyes were as deep as a still pool, seemingly able to see through people's hearts. He exuded a powerful aura that commanded respect.

Both the Tianyan Sect and the Taique Sect were led by cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage. The leader of the Tianyan Sect appeared to be a sword cultivator, dressed in a blue robe and carrying a long sword. As for the leader of the Taique Sect, it was unclear what path he cultivated; all that was known was that he was not a sword cultivator.

The three major sects have not yet taken any action; they seem to be cautiously observing the situation.

The female cultivator at the Golden Core stage of the Tianxuan Sect had a sharp glint in her deep eyes, as if assessing the risks. The disciples behind her were also on high alert, none of them making any rash moves.

The sword cultivator from the Tianyan Sect closed his eyes to meditate, his sword intent flickering faintly, giving people a sense of unfathomable depth.

The leader of the Taique Sect would occasionally look up at the mountaintop, his brows furrowed slightly.

On the mountain, more and more people began to climb upwards. Among them were Foundation Establishment cultivators and Golden Core stage experts. However, as they climbed higher and higher, thunder began to rumble in the sky.

Bolts of lightning descended from the sky, striking the climbers. The lightning from the Golden Core stage was noticeably thicker than that from the Foundation Establishment stage, each bolt resembling a giant python, carrying destructive power.

Even among cultivators of the same level, the lightning strikes can vary. For example, among cultivators in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, some receive lightning bolts as thick as a child's arm, while others receive only lightning bolts as thin as urine.

This resulted in someone being cleaved off the mountain at every cultivation level. Some Foundation Establishment cultivators went further than Golden Core cultivators, and cultivators with weaker aptitude, if their strength reached the level their aptitude was supposed to be, would go further than cultivators with stronger aptitude.

Conversely, if someone has strong aptitude but hasn't reached the level they should be at, they won't go very far.

The Heavenly Thunder Platform is truly a perfect place to distinguish between people; the real strong can be easily identified. It's simply a matter of who goes the furthest.

Although most of those who have gone up now are disciples from second- or third-rate sects, there are quite a few geniuses among them.

Most people could only travel a few feet under the bombardment of lightning, but several people had already reached more than ten feet away. These people were all powerful experts of the same level from various sects.

Their aura was powerful and stable, and the lightning could not shake them in the slightest.

A young man dressed in black robes walked with steady steps, each step seemingly treading on empty air. A faint black mist enveloped his body, and when lightning struck him, it produced a series of metallic clanging sounds.

"That's Lu Feng from the Black Iron Sect. He's a rising star among the younger generation of the Black Iron Sect, a genius with the metal element," someone whispered.

Another woman dressed in white moved with agility and elegance, like a butterfly fluttering in the air. Lightning exploded around her, yet it could not harm her in the slightest.

"That's Chu Ling'er from Hundred Flowers Valley. It's said that she has a unique spiritual body and her strength is already comparable to some late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators."

These people were making their way through the lightning, each step incredibly difficult. Of those who had just started climbing the mountain, about half had already given up by this point.

Some people, realizing they could not go any further, quickly retreated from the mountains, sustaining minor injuries.

Some were very confident in their abilities and continued to move forward, believing they could go even further.

Some people overestimate themselves and take a few steps with all their might, only to be struck by lightning and seriously injured.

When he tried to leave the mountain, he found that he had no strength or energy left to go down the mountain. In the end, he collapsed to the ground and screamed as he was struck by lightning and turned into pieces.

This is the terrifying aspect of the Heavenly Thunder Platform; those who are unaware of their own strength are likely to die before they can escape.
