89: Chapter 89 Thunder, is this nothing?

"Sister Mu, you really have treated Junior Sister and me like a blade," Lin Ming said, looking at Elder Mu Shan.

"I certainly didn't tell you to kill anyone," Elder Mu Shan said.

"On the contrary, you gave me a surprise," Elder Mu Shan said, looking at Lin Ming with a smile.

"When out and about, one must always have some means of self-preservation," Lin Ming said with a straight face.

"You little rascal, as if you lack means of self-preservation," Elder Mu Shan scolded with a laugh.

"I do, very much so; the outside world is too dangerous," Lin Ming said with an earnest expression.

"Alright, get some good rest, and enter the Thunder Origin Pool tomorrow." Not wanting to continue chatting with Lin Ming, Elder Mu Shan left after saying this.

"Junior Sister, are you confident?" After seeing Elder Mu Shan leave, Lin Ming looked at Su Lianxue and asked.

"Sixty percent," Su Lianxue said.

Having stepped into the eleventh level of the Body Tempering Realm, she now had a sixty percent chance of success.

"Don't push yourself too hard," Lin Ming said.

After the ninth Body Tempering, each subsequent attempt carries a risk of death, and each time one advances, the damage upon failure becomes greater.

Even with the existence of her 'cheat', the Wordless Heavenly Book, Su Lianxue knew there was still a risk of failure, and Lin Ming did not want her to push herself so hard.

"Mm, I will, Senior Brother," Su Lianxue nodded and said.

She had her own considerations; for the sake of her future Dao path, Su Lianxue walked every step with extreme caution.

The next day, under the guidance of Elder Mu Shan, the group arrived at the location of a valley.

Before reaching the valley, Lin Ming sensed a massive power of thunder where the valley lay ahead.

In front of the valley stood a palace.

Upon entering the palace, they saw an old man sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat.

"Elder Cen, these two are here to enter the Thunder Origin Pool," Elder Mu Shan said to the old man with slight respect.

She took out the token and presented it to Elder Cen. Elder Cen slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the token.

With a slight wave of his hand, the gate behind him opened.

"Go in, and don't forget what I told you," Elder Mu Shan said to the two.

Lin Ming and Su Lianxue immediately entered the gate.

"Little Shan," Elder Cen's aged voice echoed in the grand hall.

"Elder," Elder Mu Shan's expression stiffened, and she looked at Elder Cen, her gaze slightly evasive.

"You are too lax."

...

The two walked through the passageway, and before long, they reached the end of the passage and arrived at the location of the valley.

Thunder raged.

They saw the valley before them being ravaged by thunder, which covered the entire area.

"Junior Sister, it's time," Lin Ming said, looking at Su Lianxue.

Su Lianxue said nothing. She stepped forward directly into the range of the thunder. The thunder landed directly on her body, covering her and ravaging her physique.

For a moment, Su Lianxue's expression became solemn.

Seeing Su Lianxue enter the thunderous area so decisively, Lin Ming followed closely behind and stepped into the thunder.

The thunder instantly covered Lin Ming, impacting his body.

"Junior Sister, how does it feel?" Lin Ming asked.

This place was at the outermost perimeter of the Thunder Origin Pool, where the intensity of the thunder was within the range that a Body Tempering Realm practitioner could withstand.

Elder Mu Shan had told them before that, depending on the practitioner's Realm, the intensity of the thunder in the Thunder Origin Pool was divided into different zones.

Yet even so, every year, several Disciples nearly died in the Thunder Origin Pool because they didn't clearly know their own limits and, overestimating their abilities, tried to challenge higher-intensity thunder, nearly losing their lives as a result.

If not for the intervention of the Elder guarding the Thunder Origin Pool, they would have long since become ghosts beneath the thunder.

"I can hold on," Su Lianxue said after a moment of silence.

She walked forward step by step, the thunder continuously impacting and ravaging her body.

She could feel the help this power of thunder provided to her body. Using this power of thunder to temper her body and remove the Impurities within her would be of great help in her attempt to reach the eleventh level of Body Tempering.

Moreover, she had intended to use this Thunder Origin Pool to reach the eleventh level of Body Tempering.

Compared to this, such slight pain was nothing, and Su Lianxue simply ignored it.

After adapting for a while, Su Lianxue walked forward step by step. With every step forward, the power of the thunder increased slightly.

"My Junior Sister has a quite firm heart for cultivation," Lin Ming said, nodding slightly as he watched Su Lianxue move forward step by step.

Immediately after, Lin Ming quickened his pace, passing Su Lianxue as he walked forward, basically ignoring the thunder.

It was not until he reached the zone for the Spirit Platform Realm that Lin Ming stopped his steps.

After all, the location of the Thunder Origin Pool was monitored by an Elder of the Yongzhen Sect, and Lin Ming could not be too conspicuous, lest he attract his attention.

Along the way, Lin Ming did see one or two Disciples cultivating in the Thunder Origin Pool, struggling to move forward or standing in place to receive the baptism of the thunder.

Lin Ming stopped and appeared to be receiving the baptism of the thunder, but in reality, his Divine Thought had already spread out, moving toward the depths of the valley.

As his Divine Thought spread out, Lin Ming sensed a force of Divine Thought patrolling the valley, which must be that Elder.

However, with that Elder's Divine Thought strength, he still could not detect his location.

His Divine Thought spread rapidly into the valley, where he saw several Disciples cultivating with the help of the Thunder Origin Pool. These Disciples were not weak, and one of them was even a practitioner of the Bitter Sea Realm.

But Lin Ming was not interested in this.

Additionally, Lin Ming also noticed another point: the thunder's attack on the Divine Soul.

When Lin Ming's Divine Thought stepped into the area for the Bitter Sea Realm, the thunder changed slightly; this power of thunder would directly attack the practitioner's Divine Soul.

Although the bombardment and ravaging of this thunder posed no threat to Lin Ming, he could still feel it.

As long as one persisted and withstood round after round of the thunder's impact, their Divine Soul power would condense a bit more.

The Yongzhen Sect certainly has many good things.

Lin Ming's Divine Thought continued to head toward the depths of the valley; these so-called attacks posed not the slightest threat to him.

A tall stone platform appeared in Lin Ming's line of sight.

On the stone platform, a purple bowl appeared in Lin Ming's sight.

This object was the Legacy Sacred Artifact of the Yongzhen Sect—the Thunder Origin Pool.

However, Lin Ming discovered a chip on the bowl, as if it were a gap left behind after some kind of battle.

This meant that this Thunder Origin Pool was not a complete Sacred Artifact, but rather a damaged, impaired Sacred Artifact.

Lin Ming's figure also quickly flew toward the location of the Thunder Origin Pool.

To properly observe this Thunder Origin Pool.
