《Myth Beyond Heaven 》Chapter 136: Thunder City
Advertisement
To Yun Lintian's knowledge, red lightning was considered the medium-level among the lightning elements. However, its destructive power was high enough to kill the Essence Profound practitioner, like Yun Lintian. If it wasn't because he was the Beyond Heaven King's Crown and Beyond Heaven Profound Vein owner, Yun Lintian wouldn't dare to go there.
When Yun Lintian was about to move forward, another lightning bolt was descended again. This time it was a white color, the weakest one.
Yun Lintian was puzzled. Could it be there was every color here? While he was thinking, a golden lightning bolt struck down in the distance, and this had confirmed his guess. This place should have every kind of lightning.
Discovering this, Yun Lintian immediately became excited. Perhaps this place really had the lightning element source. Without further ado, Yun Lintian hastened his steps toward the Thunder City.
When Yun Lintian arrived at the city's perimeter, he saw a long line of carriages and people queuing up for identity checks before entering the city. Yun Lintian immediately joined the line and observed the Thunder City before him.
The Thunder City was surrounded by a relatively high wall made with a black stone that Yun Lintian did not recognize, but it should able to absorb the lightning. On the four corners, there were high metal poles serving as a lightning rod. Yun Lintian didn't know if they could make use of the lightning power that often strikes down on these rods. Perhaps, there wasn't such technology here.
The lightning bolts continued to strike down, producing a deafening roar throughout the entire area. Yun Lintian wanted to listen to people's discussions but simply couldn't do it because of this. In the end, he gave up and waited to enter the city.
Because there were too many people waiting to enter the city, Yun Lintian had to wait for the whole day before his queue had arrived. Upon stepping into the area in front of the gigantic gate, he discovered the thunder sound had wholly vanished. Only then did he see a sound isolation formation.

"Name?" A male guard in silver armor asked.
"Ye Xiu." Yun Lintian continued to use his fake name for his safety.
The guard carved Yun Lintian's name onto a small rectangle silver plate and handed it to Yun Lintian. "This is your token. You have to show this whenever you want to do a transaction here. If you lose it, you have to contact the Thunder Association House."
Yun Lintian grabbed the silver rectangle plate with the words' Ye Xiu' on ii and looked at it briefly before asking. "Brother, where can I find the city map?"
The guard seemed to be fed up with this kind of question as he replied lazily. "You can go to any miscellaneous store. Next."
The guard waved his hand, and Yun Lintian immediately entered the city. He thought Thunder City would be different from other cities, but it was actually not much different. The streets were spacious enough to let carriages pass by each other with no problem and still had considered space for pedestrians.
When Yun Lintian stepped on the streets, he felt the material on the ground was quite spongy, resembling a rubber. Clearly, this was designed to deal with the electricity from lightning.
He looked around the place and discovered the buildings here weren't that high as the highest one was only four-story. It was built like this to avoid the thunder strike. As for the building's appearance, it was still the ancient-Chinese style. This made Yun Lintian curious whether there was any innovative architect out there because this style was too outdated in his opinion.
Walking through the bustling streets, Yun Lintian saw a miscellaneous store and went to get the city map along with the city's general information. When he came out, he had roughly understood the city's overall situation.

The Thunder City was built under the supervision of the Frozen Cloud Palace after the Thunder Valley had appeared. It was served as the frontal battleground in case there was an unexpected event occurred within the Thunder Valley.
The current City Lord was the patriarch of the Fu clan, Fu Tiangang. He was selected by the Frozen Moon Palace to supervise this Thunder City. During his fifty years in the position, Fu Tiangang never made an error or any crime. He was described as an upright person. With this trait, he gained a lot of respect from the citizens.
Besides the Fu clan, there were three other clans, namely Ming, Ding, and Zhang. Their influences were not inferior to the Fu clan, as major businesses within the city were controlled by them. Without a doubt, their ultimate goal was to become the City Lord. Unfortunately, Fu Tiangang's throne was unshakable. With him in the position, these three clans could only swallow their ambitions, waiting for the right timing to strike down.
After knowing this information, Yun Lintian shook his head inwardly. Whether it was a small place like the Heavenly Fortune Nation or this Thunder City, the internal power structure was all the same. He found it was boring. He would face the power struggle wherever he went, and if he wanted to change this, he also needed to join the struggle and become the winner, who stood above everyone first.
Yun Lintian looked at the map and chose the inn he was going to stay in tonight. This inn was called Blue Moon, one of the most famous inns in Thunder City. He chose this place because it was operated directly by the Frozen Moon Palace. With Han Bingling's personal token, he didn't need to fear whether he would get into trouble.
Just as Yun Lintian was about to move, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the distance. When that person turned slightly, he immediately recognized. "Qi Yuanfeng?"
Yun Lintian didn't expect he would encounter his old enemy here. Who would have thought the Heavenly Fortune Nation's Crown Prince would appear here?

8 147Tabula Rasa : An Unbound Adventure
It starts as many things do: a clean slate, an empty page. What once was set in stone and wholly writ is gone, and all that's left is the vague notion of absence, a fullness lacking.The feeling of being tetherless, pathless, without direction or responsibility is something many would find terrifying. Others might find it freeing - an opportunity to strike out on new adventures and explore the unknown.Either way, first they have to figure out where they are and how they leave. ====== My first novel on this platform! An avid GameLit/LitRPG fan, I decided to start writing this when I seemed to exhaust all of my options for well reviewed content on the site! Inspiration for the world/general feeling is a mix of Azarinth Healer, Abyssal Road Trip, Winterborn, and the Power of Ten series, with a strong reliance on 3.5 and PF1 frameworks as a scaffold for the world. I see Arc 1 as a Robinson Crusoe style coming to terms scenario, lots of exploration of the System, the MC's options, the island and encounters with the denizens and visitors of the Timeless Isle, with a non-zero amount of introspection around their long term goals. I'll publish as frequently as I'm able but don't have a regular cadence planned at the moment.
