The disciples of the Tianyin Sect, having witnessed the performances of the disciples from the three major sects, were preparing to pack their belongings and leave the Thunderclap Platform. However, when they saw that Lin Yitang actually intended to go up the mountain, they stopped in their tracks.

The female cultivator who had just spoken with Lin Yitang turned to her fellow disciples and suggested, "Why don't we stay and check on Junior Sister Lin? She gave us a bottle of Spirit Gathering Pills before. If she gets injured or encounters danger on the mountain, we can help her out."

Her companions all nodded. They didn't know much about Lin Yitang's abilities, but out of curiosity and gratitude, they decided to stay and observe.

Several disciples of the Tianyin Sect found a relatively safe place to sit down, keeping a close eye on Lin Yitang's movements.

At the same time, Lin Yitang finally stepped onto the Thunder Platform.

The moment she stepped in, the dark clouds that had been churning in the sky seemed to be summoned by something, and they gathered at a rapid speed, surging in from all directions.

The thunderclouds gathered thicker and thicker, growing stronger with each passing moment. Thick bolts of lightning flashed through the clouds, enveloping the entire foothills in a terrifying blaze of light that sent chills down one's spine.

This thundercloud was larger than any Foundation Establishment cultivator had encountered before, and even several times larger than the one encountered by an ordinary early Foundation Establishment cultivator!

This amazing scene instantly attracted everyone's attention.

While people were recuperating and resting, many onlookers remained at the foot of the mountain, hoping to witness the return of the disciples from the three major sects. However, due to the lightning above Lin Yitang's head, many people turned their attention to the Heavenly Thunder Platform.

"Who is that? Which sect's disciple is he?"

"No sect robes, don't recognize him. Such a powerful thundercloud, he must be at least a Golden Core cultivator, right?"

"No, I think that disciple is in the early stage of Foundation Establishment and is not hiding his cultivation level."

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, their faces filled with shock.

They never imagined that an ordinary early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator could attract such a terrifying celestial phenomenon.

Judging from the scale of this thundercloud, it's even stronger than the single-spiritual-root individuals from the three major sects just now. This indicates that this person has extremely high aptitude, likely possessing a unique spiritual root, or perhaps another even more powerful one!

It's important to understand that a single spiritual root talent is already one in ten thousand, with even the three major sects only able to recruit a handful each year. Not to mention other sects; second- or third-rate sects would be overjoyed if they managed to get even one single spiritual root talent in a year.

If even a single spiritual root appears in a region, all the forces will fight tooth and nail to get it. Let alone talent stronger than a single spiritual root. They have almost never heard of it or seen it before.

I really don't know which sect was so lucky to receive such a disciple!

Thinking of this, the disciples watching felt a pang of sadness.

They envied the sects that received such disciples, and even more so the disciple himself who possessed such talent.

Keep in mind that with such exceptional talent, breakthroughs are as easy as drinking water or eating. Given sufficient resources, reaching the Nascent Soul stage or even the Deity Transformation stage is not impossible!

Even the group from the Heavenly Sound Sect was shocked. They hadn't expected that a disciple they'd encountered so casually would possess such extraordinary talent, surpassing even those with a single spiritual root. This meant that with sufficient resources, this disciple was destined to become a powerful figure!

The female cultivator who had spoken with Lin Yitang was even more excited. She never expected to encounter a true genius, not one from a small sect, but a genius comparable to a major sect!

She even spoke with a genius!

"This young fellow Daoist actually possesses such talent; one can't judge a book by its cover!"

"Yes, we just thought she was just an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, we never expected her to have such talent!"

The disciples of the Tianyin Sect were discussing among themselves, their faces filled with surprise.

on the other hand.

After Lin Yitang went up the mountain, the scene became even more shocking.

Lightning bolts rained down on her, each one as thick as an arm—a thickness comparable to that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator with pseudo-spiritual roots.

However, she did not panic at all.

The lightning strike she encountered when she first arrived at the mountain was probably the weakest on the entire mountain; using magic to resist it would only waste her spiritual energy unnecessarily. So she simply didn't use any spiritual energy to resist it, relying solely on her physical body.

It's important to understand that after the medicinal bath and the baptism of the Crimson Flame Cave, her physical body and meridians were actually stronger than those of ordinary cultivators. However, she was not a body cultivator after all, and her physical body was still quite weak. Tempering her physical body was essential, otherwise she would easily suffer serious injuries.

The lightning struck her, bringing a tingling sensation followed by intense pain. It felt as if countless red-hot iron needles were piercing her flesh, causing her to convulse in agony.

She endured the pain and used her divine sense to guide the lightning to temper her physical meridians.

With each bolt of lightning, her body and meridians underwent a baptism. At first, the pain was unbearable. But gradually, she began to feel a sense of comfort.

That's a reaction to the strengthening of the physical body and meridians!

Lin Yitang could clearly feel her physical strength increasing, her meridians widening again, absorbing more spiritual energy, and impurities in her body being expelled from her pores under the influence of lightning.

After casting several purification spells to keep his body clean, the effects of the lightning finally weakened. He had also cleared away most of the impurities from his body.

As they ventured deeper into the mountains, the lightning became more frequent, stronger, and more concentrated. Lin Yitang felt that her physical training had reached its limit; it was time to confront the lightning.

Using spells was too wasteful of spiritual energy, so she took out her long-lost mid-grade magic weapon, the Spirit Blade.

The spirit blade itself is made of hard material, which has a certain degree of defensive power and can resist lightning. Moreover, the spirit blade can also be infused with spiritual energy, which can be converted into attack power. In this case, it is much more useful than casting spells.

Lin Yitang brandished her spirit blade, cleaving through bolts of lightning. Her movements were nimble and agile, each strike hitting the lightning precisely at its point.

The lightning emitted a deafening explosion, but Lin Yitang walked up the mountain as if it were flat ground, seemingly having more energy than the people from the three major sects ahead of her.

Seeing this, the disciples watching below also breathed a sigh of relief.

They were horrified to see Lin Yitang not resisting the lightning and letting it strike him. They thought this disciple had lost her mind, deliberately putting herself in a dangerous situation without fighting back.

Everyone thought she was going to be killed, but thankfully she took out her magical artifact. However, everyone was also a little surprised. In this era where sword cultivation and talisman cultivation were popular, there was actually someone who was a sword cultivator. The path of sword cultivation was quite rare.

Not only that, this swordsman is quite skilled.

They truly hadn't expected that a cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage could so easily withstand the heavenly lightning. It's important to know that the power of heavenly lightning is terrifying, especially lightning bolts as thick as an arm; even those in the late Foundation Establishment stage wouldn't dare to easily withstand it.

Lin Yitang, however, wielded a large sword, shattering the heavenly lightning into countless pieces. Such strength was simply astonishing!

"This female cultivator's strength is probably already on par with the genius cultivators of major sects!"

"Yes, such talent and strength are simply monstrous!"
