"There should be many people like him here… This is a good place for you to practice your hand." Hongyue said calmly.
"Can you locate the Spatial Wheel?" She asked.
Yun Lintian quickly closed his eyes and tried to capture the connection. However, he soon discovered the connection between him and the Spatial Wheel kept going up and down. It was as if the Spatial Wheel kept changing its position all the time.
"Did the Spatial Wheel have its own consciousness? I can feel that it seems to change its position constantly." Yun Lintian asked.
"No," Hongyue replied confidently. "Among the relics, the Spatial Wheel and the Crown are the only relics without a spiritual consciousness."
"As for why it keeps changing positions all the time, it's because of its nature."
"Its nature?" Yun Lintian was puzzled.
"That's right," Hongyue explained. "The Spatial Wheel is the ultimate artifact that can control the spatial element. It will constantly absorb and release the spatial element, which makes it travel from place to place."
"I see." Yun Lintian nodded slightly. "Wouldn't this mean there's a chance it may appear in front of me?"
"Mhm," Hongyue responded. "However, it should be weakened by something for a long time. Otherwise, this place wouldn't be this calm."
A strange light flashed through Yun Lintian's eyes as he said. "Perhaps it's Yin Weizhe or Mo Tian."
Just as Yun Lintian finished his sentence, a sense of danger arose in his heart, and he quickly executed the Shadow Step without hesitation.
As he disappeared from the place, a black thunder abruptly descended from the sky and struck his original position. The middle-aged man's corpse nearby was instantly burned into ashes.
Yun Lintian reappeared twenty kilometers away and glanced at the sky.
A pale old man who resembled a dried corpse came into Yun Lintian's sight. His entire body was covered with black lightning sparks, making him look devilish.
The old man slowly turned toward Yun Lintian, looking at the latter with his wholly black eyes. In that instant, several black lightning bolts abruptly struck down from the sky toward Yun Lintian.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Yun Lintian swiftly dodged the lightning bolts with his Shadow Step while startling inwardly. Each strike of these lightning bolts seemed to threaten to destroy the world. It could be said this was the most powerful thunder strike he had ever seen so far.
"This… Divine Thunder Art?" Inside the Land of Beyond Heaven, Nantian Fengyu said in surprise as she looked at the scene.
"Divine Thunder Art? The Divine Thunder Palace's profound art?" Yun Lintian asked in his mind while constantly changing his position.
"Without a doubt." Nantian Fengyu replied firmly. Although she didn't care much about other things, as a true successor of the Divine Phoenix Palace, it was normal for her to learn the other palace's profound art.
"So, this old man might be the Divine Thunder Palace's member in the past, huh?" Yun Lintian said while stabbing his hand out. His aura surged as countless purple lightning sparks appeared around him.
Rumble—
All of a sudden, several purple lightning bolts shot down and immediately nullified the black thunders.
At the same time, Yun Lintian quickly arrived behind the old man and sent a punch toward the latter's head, aiming to knock him unconscious.
However, before his fist could reach the old man, a powerful burst of black lightning abruptly emerged around the old man and blasted Yun Lintian away.
In that instant, the old man turned around and reached his hand out. A black thunder claw suddenly emerged from the void behind Yun Lintian, trying to tear him apart.
Just as the claw was about to touch Yun Lintian, his figure suddenly disappeared from the place, leaving an afterimage behind.
The old man shook slightly and moved sideways, trying to escape.
Swoosh!
A ray of sword light shot toward the old man's back as Yun Lintian reappeared behind him while swinging the Heaven Piercing Sword forward.
The old man felt a chill run down his spine as the back of his original tattered robe tore open.
The attack didn't cleave his body, however. The sharp edge of the attack merely swept across his back. A faint, bloody line appeared, spreading directly down the curve of his spine.
"Argh!" A painful cry escaped the old man's mouth as he was sent flying by the following impact.
Before the old man could smash onto the ground, Yun Lintian had already appeared behind him and sent a punch toward his back.
Crackle!
The old man's spine was entirely shattered by the punch before crashing onto the ground. Blood continued flowing out of his mouth as his body kept twitching from pain.
Yun Lintian appeared beside him with a swoosh and asked. "Can you talk?"
The old man didn't seem to hear it. He continued to struggle, trying to run for his life. This scene made Yun Lintian frown.
Yun Lintian stretched his hand out to grab the old man's wrist and said. "His soul has been damaged."
He thought for a moment and injected the wood energy into the old man's body. The latter gradually stopped struggling as time passed. The wounds and his broken bones had also recovered slowly.
At the same time, Yun Lintian stuffed a few soul-recovery pills into the old man's mouth while helping him digest.
An hour later, the old man's injuries were eighty percent recovered, and he seemed to lose the "crazy" state completely.
"Do you understand me?" Yun Lintian retracted his hand and asked.
The old man got up from the ground, staring at Yun Lintian for a while before asking. "Who are you? And how did you appear here?"
The old man clearly noticed Yun Lintian's age and was puzzled by the latter's realm. How could a mere twenty-year-old boy reach such a high realm?
Seeing the old man regain his clarity, Yun Lintian asked. "Are you a member of the Divine Thunder Palace?"
The old man stared straight into Yun Lintian's eyes and replied. "Indeed. My name is Lei Yongzheng. Thank you for helping this old man."
"Ah!" Nantian Fengyu suddenly cried out when she heard this. "Lei Yongzheng? Isn't that the name of the Divine Thunder Palace's founder?"
A trace of surprise flashed through Yun Lintian's eyes upon hearing this… No wonder this old man didn't come out to help Lei Zhengxiang all this time. It turned out he was stuck in this place.
