Shang'er was currently in excruciating pain. The lightning strike was excruciating enough and the pain was coming from both inside and out. Needless to say, it was unbearable.
The little fox looked pained but she didn't make a sound as she endured the pain.
The Heavenly Lightning was ferocious and was considered to be the strongest force of nature. It was invincible. However, the more powerful something was, the greater its weakness.
For example, the Heavenly Thunder lacked follow-up power.
After a few bolts of lightning, it weakened and after two more, it was so weak that it couldn't be heard anymore.
The lightning was initially as thick as a bucket and then as thick as an arm. Now, it was no longer a threat. Goldy, on the other hand, was like a sky-devouring firebird that soared into the clouds, releasing flames in anger.
In an instant, the dark clouds were engulfed in flames. It was as if there was a bright sun behind the clouds. Even through the layers of clouds, it illuminated an area of several hundred miles.
Even the people in Reed City could feel it.
Many citizens woke up in shock and saw the blazing flames above the clouds in the distance. It was said that fire burns clouds but what they were seeing now was the real deal.
Qiao Feigong came out of the Qiao Manor just in time to witness this scene. His eyes were filled with fear and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Father, that looks like …" Qiao Xing said hoarsely.
Mount Long Pass!
Qiao Feigong nodded. It wasn't just him, the entire Qiao family was feeling conflicted and anxious.
At this moment, a ball of fire exploded in the distance. After a few breaths of time, a loud rumbling sound could be heard. It was obvious that it came from the explosion of fire in the clouds.
If they could see and hear it from so far away, one could only imagine how powerful it would be if they were nearby.
The people of Reed City and the Qiao family didn't know, but Chen Ruyuan felt it up close. After all, Chen Ruyuan was a member of Jade Dragon Kingdom's guardian. But now, he was cowering under the dilapidated building, his body trembling.
It wasn't just him. The golden bear inside him was trembling as well.
Lin Jin let out a long sigh.
The most dangerous moment had passed. Even so, he still couldn't move.
After all, while Lin Jin had some cultivation and his physique was stronger than average, he still couldn't compare to beasts like Xiao Huo and Goldy. He had just taken a portion of the divine lightning and had to use a secret technique to neutralize it for Shang'er. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the pain Lin Jin endured was no less than Shang'er's. It might even be worse.
Shang'er was currently sprawled on the ground, unconscious. But Lin Jin knew that he had done everything he could. Shang'er's internal organs had been imbued with lightning energy using a secret technique. How she would use it in the future and how she would improve would depend on her own luck.
Xiao Huo looked dispirited as well, but his condition was much better than Lin Jin's. After all, Xiao Huo had a Yin Yang Dharma body so the split lightning couldn't hurt him.
As for Goldy, the moment Lin Jin looked up at the raging flames in the night sky, he knew that the guy was fine. He was just in pain from being struck by the divine lightning so he was venting his anger on the clouds.
Big Yellow probably felt that the thundercloud above their heads was the culprit, so it was not surprising that it was blasting at the moment.
Forget it.
Lin Jin sat down cross-legged and used his internal vision to check his body. Indeed, he was in terrible shape. Lin Jin had been a little too arrogant, thinking that since he was strong enough to divert some of the divine lightning's power, it shouldn't be a problem.
At a glance, Lin Jin's organs were damaged and some of his veins were damaged by the divine lightning. His clothes were tattered and some parts of his skin had large burn marks. Lin Jin looked pretty pathetic right now.
Taking out a blood energy pill, Lin Jin swallowed it to slowly nourish his damaged veins.
At that moment, the aura behind him surged. The door to the Visitation Hall appeared out of thin air and hovered there.
Lin Jin was stunned.
Then, he reacted.
He had forgotten that today was the opening day of the Visitation Hall.
After giving it some thought, Lin Jin reached out and closed the Visitation Hall's door. His current condition wasn't suitable for him to enter the Visitation Hall. His top priority right now was to treat his injuries and dispel the residual lightning energy in his body. He could go back to the Visitation Hall next time so there was no hurry.
As for the visitors inside, it was good to let them communicate among themselves.
…
The Visitation Hall was currently bustling with activity.
This time, there were no newcomers. Including He Qing, Black Crow, and the others, as well as Feng Ziqian and Zhao Jingyan, there were now eight people in the Visitation Hall.
Feng Ziqian had brought with him many rare beast materials, which he planned to give to the Curator after meeting him. In addition, he had brought along many precious treasures as well. As a member of a premium country's royal family, it wasn't difficult for him to get his hands on these items.
As a newcomer, Zhao Jingyan was well-prepared as well. In the seven days since the Visitation Hall was closed, she had been waiting anxiously. As the commander of Phoenix Palace, Zhao Jingyan had never looked forward to meeting a member of the opposite sex so much.
Of course, most importantly, the Curator had used his supernatural powers to reconstruct a phoenix egg from its ashes. This egg had become Zhao Jingyan's hope. Although she had her own speculations regarding the term 'Nirvana', she still needed to consult the Curator on the specifics.
Hence, when the Visitation Hall reopened, she was practically the first to rush in. Filled with excitement and anticipation, she waited for the arrival of the 'Curator'.
As the other visitors entered, everyone started chatting. Among them, He Qing recounted the feats of the Curator's disciple, Appraiser Lin, such as how easily he evolved five pet beasts during the Jade Dragon Festival and the dragon selection ceremony. The others listened with great interest.
However, they were all waiting for the Curator.
Hence, after a long time, the Curator still hadn't shown up. This time, the crowd couldn't hold back their curiosity any longer.
He Qing was the first to speak up.
"Why isn't the Curator here yet?"
With her taking the lead, the others started asking as well. However, it was obvious that no one knew what was going on.
"Perhaps, he was delayed by something." Ye Yuzhou's state of mind was steady. At this time, he said this, although he also felt that it was strange.
Following that, the visitors continued chatting. However, they were all talking about the Curator being held up by something.
The eight of them came from different parts of the world and had different experiences, so they offered their own opinions.
Of course, none of them were worried. They were just curious.
To them, there was probably nothing in this world that could trouble the 'Curator', so there was no need to worry about him. However, the more they thought about it, the more curious they became. What could have caused the Curator to be 'late'?
"Did anything special happen in the various states recently?" Ye Yuzhou asked. He had been cultivating in Maple City's Friar Association for many years so he knew a little about the happenings in Jade Dragon Country. If it was outside Jade Dragon Country, he wouldn't know much.
