At this moment, Lin Yitang was unaware that she was being suspected of being a genius. Even if she did know, she wouldn't care.

She focused intently on dispersing the lightning before her.

As she advanced further, the lightning strikes became increasingly frequent. At first, when she was ten or twenty feet away, she could easily handle them. But when she reached thirty feet, the power of the lightning strikes forced her to expend her spiritual energy to defend against them.

She brandished her spirit blade, which shimmered with a faint spiritual light. Bolts of lightning struck the blade, producing deafening explosions. But Lin Yitang remained unmoved.

Her spiritual power flowed into the spirit blade like water, and the blade's power steadily increased. Finally, with the enhancement of her spiritual power, the spirit blade erupted with a dazzling light. The light flashed and disappeared in an instant, and all the surrounding lightning bolts were dispersed!

This powerful strike once again drew everyone's attention.

At this moment, everyone was already shocked by Lin Yitang walking thirty or forty feet away, and when they saw the knife, their eyes widened again.

"My God, this level of strength is simply terrifying!"

"Is this even human? Early Foundation Establishment stage, yet this strength is comparable to the late stage!"

"Just who is this female cultivator? With such attainments, could she be a successor of some great sect?"

With each slash, Lin Yitang continued to advance.

Because of the original owner's five years without breaking through, her spiritual energy reserves were astonishing. It was only because she usually fought against top geniuses of the Taique Sect that she didn't realize it. In fact, for ordinary people, it was already several times the amount of a cultivator of the same level.

Therefore, she pushed forward all the way to sixty feet without exhausting her spiritual energy!

The people at the bottom of the mountain were stunned, speechless, their minds blank. They had never seen such terrifying power; it completely overturned their understanding.

"Is this really a cultivator who just broke through to the early stage of Foundation Establishment? How come he's different from the early stage Foundation Establishment cultivators I know?"

"Could it be that she has comprehended some powerful technique, enabling her to fight beyond her level?"

"Regardless of the reason, this level of strength is enough to make them stand out from the crowd!"

Those cultivators who witnessed Lin Yitang ascending the mountain were all filled with excitement.

They were incredibly excited, never expecting to encounter such a peerless genius here. Moreover, he was even stronger than the three major sects, which truly broadened their horizons.

As Lin Yitang gradually disappeared into the mountains seventy feet away, many of the cultivators who originally wanted to leave returned to their original spot, waiting for the group to descend the mountain.

They originally came to watch the performances of the disciples from the three major sects, and now, with the addition of another equally remarkable genius, the Thunderclap Platform is truly a gathering of talents today.

It's not a common sight to see so many geniuses gathered together.

The cultivators gathered in twos and threes, whispering and discussing Lin Yitang and the disciples of the three major sects.

Especially Lin Yitang's background.

Because Qi Refining cultivators generally cultivate within their sects, the cultivation world has very little knowledge about these disciples, and it is almost impossible to obtain accurate information.

Unless a Qi Refining disciple breaks through to Foundation Establishment and stands out in the cultivation world, their basic information will not be known to the public. Alternatively, someone like Mo Ziheng, who is both a direct disciple of a major sect and demonstrates great skill during the Qi Refining stage, will be accepted into the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, and thus become known to everyone.

However, because of Li Lingxuan's presence, Lin Yitang's entry into the inner sect, her defeat of Mo Ziheng, and her becoming the strongest Qi Refiner in the new generation of Taique Sect were not revealed.

At present, Tianji Pavilion knows nothing about Lin Yitang, and at most may know some scattered information, so Lin Yitang's information is very safe.

Therefore, the monks at the foot of the mountain discussed for a long time but could not come to a conclusion.

On the other side, on the mountain.

Lin Yitang gradually ventured deeper into Tianlei Terrace.

The surrounding lightning bolts were as dense as rain, and their power was increasing. The lightning bolts that were as thick as an arm became as thick as a bowl.

She brandished her spirit blade, cleaving through bolts of lightning.

She had reached about eighty zhang by this time, but still couldn't see the summit. This made her somewhat anxious.

These lightning bolts are indeed difficult to deal with. She has already consumed more than half of her spiritual energy, and she doesn't know how far ahead there is or whether she can get up there.

And if she wanted to go back, she didn't have enough spiritual power to support her return to the foot of the mountain.

She had no choice but to grit her teeth and push forward, hoping to break through the lightning's blockade as soon as possible.

Each strike drained her spiritual energy. But she had no time to worry about it and could only grit her teeth and persevere.

Finally, when only about 30% of their spiritual power remained, the lightning in front of them suddenly became sparse.

She was overjoyed and quickened her pace.

After passing through the sparse area of ​​lightning, a huge platform paved with bluestone bricks appeared before her.

She's finally here!

This is the top of Tianleitai!

To her surprise, the top of Tianleitai Mountain was completely silent, not the dangerous place full of lightning that she had imagined.

The ground paved with bluestone bricks appeared cold and serene under the lightning. Each brick was meticulously polished, its surface as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the rolling thunderclouds in the sky.

The lightning bolts all around resembled writhing silver snakes, dancing wildly in the air. They enveloped the entire mountaintop in a light, flashing and roaring, occasionally illuminating the interior areas.

Surprisingly, however, there was not a trace of lightning inside these floor tiles, as if some mysterious force kept them out.

There were no buildings or vegetation on the mountaintop, only these blue stone bricks laid out silently. They formed a stark contrast with the surrounding blazing lightning, and entering the mountaintop was like entering another new space.

At the very center of the stone bricks stood a stone tablet. The tablet was made of black iron and covered with strange runes. These runes were twisted and mysterious, unlike anything found in ordinary objects.

Three cultivators sat in front of the stone tablet; they were disciples from the three major sects who had just come up.

Sensing someone approaching from behind, they immediately turned around and looked at Lin Yitang.

When they realized that the newcomer was a female cultivator who was not wearing any sect attire, they were all taken aback.

They hadn't expected that, besides the disciples of the three major sects, disciples from other sects would be able to reach the summit of Thunderclap Platform. What surprised them even more was that Lin Yitang appeared completely unharmed, her clothes intact and without a single wrinkle.

You must understand, they endured immense hardship to reach the summit. Baptized by lightning, they had to employ every means imaginable—spiritual power, magical artifacts, and talismans. In the final ten feet, they even sustained some minor injuries, requiring them to rest and heal at the summit until now.

Lin Yitang, a female cultivator who looks quite young, was able to climb to the top of the mountain so easily, and seemed to have suffered no harm whatsoever.

This shocked them, and they were also somewhat wary, looking at Lin Yitang with slightly furrowed brows.
