--- Chapter 169 ---
The border between the Tager Desert and the Black Corner Region was "literally." destroyed to oblivion. The mountains, grassland, rivers, and even beaches thousands of miles away changed so much.
The exchange between Cai Lin and Yun Yun changed the terrain so much that they needed a new map.
At least there are no casualties as Cai Lin used her Clairvoyance-like ability to predict things before meeting Yun Yun. Although karma is invisible to the naked eye, she could feel it with her bloodline.
Well, Cai Lin could proceed to the next step now.
With Yun Yun, Cai Lin began planning several things to help Baek Ain in his mission.
...
Lei Clan, Thunderclouds Governing Chain Mountains.
At the foot of the mountain, Baek Ain and his group arrived after a not-so-long journey through the nearest Wormholes from the Yao Realm.
Baek Ain looked up to the mountains connected by massive chains, each releasing a dim white-brown light. The sky above is "thoroughly." covered by black thunderclouds and lightning bolts, swimming like snakes. He frowned inside because the Lei Clan wasn't introduced much in the original story besides some characters.
Although this was an Alternative Universe, knowing nothing makes Baek Ain slightly nervous. He has gathered some information about the Lei Clan, but it wasn't much.
Yao Ling'er opened her mouth and uttered a fun fact, "Teacher, do you know that the Thunderclouds Governing Chain Mountains were "actually." created by Dou Di from the Lei Clan."
"The Dou Di pulled the mountain ranges and tied them with chains of pure lightning/thunder. After that, she burned a thousand miles of sea and controlled the thunderclouds back to the mountain, granting her descendant a long-maintained rich Lightning Dou Qi."
"There is a saying, every time a thunderstrike falls, the Lei Clan will always prosper." She added lastly.
"And it has always been like that for thousands of years." Someone suddenly walked toward them.
"Who?" Yao Ling'er glanced with a frown.
She turned around and saw a tan-skinned man in a white gi with a black chain wrapped around his waist. He looks no older than thirty, with short black hair, ivory eyes, and a muscular physique.
Yao Ling'er was shocked before respectfully paying her respect, "Elder Wuyi, long time no see."
Elder Wuyi laughed while waving his hand, causing the air to tremble slightly. "Haha, it's okay. Chief Yao has told us beforehand about your arrival."
"I'm here to fetch you guys."
"But then again, what a surprising lineup..." He continued, observing Baek Ain and others. Elder Wuyi was interested in Baek Ain the most because, despite the lean physique Baek Ain had, he could feel intense pressure from his body.
"We greet Elder Wuyi." Huo Zhi and Gu Xun'er bowed politely.
Baek Ain smiled and said, "My name is Lin Feng. Elder Wuyi, nice to meet you."
"I believe Brother Dan has explained my visit, right?"
'Brother Dan, huh?' Elder Wuyi nodded a little. He couldn't help but assess Baek Ain even more as he called the Yao Clan's Patriarch with such intimacy.
It means this man isn't simple at all.
Baek Ain also observed Elder Wuyi and was surprised to find the middle-aged man's physique was way stronger than anyone of the same cultivation base.
The Lei Clan was known for its Body Cultivation and Thunderous Lightning, but this is something else.
If Baek Ain hadn't personally visited the Lei Clan, he wouldn't have believed a group of people successfully attained Sage's Physique.
No, it's not Sage Physique, but an inferior and weakened version of Sage Physique tempered by Lightning Elements. It was also unfinished as well, with flaws here and there.
Still, it's impressive.
"Follow me. The Patriarch has been waiting for you guys." Elder Quyi kicked the ground lightly and began floating in the air.
Baek Ain and others followed him, drifting to the most majestic peak on the Thunderclouds Governing Chain Mountain. It was a wonderful place with a towering palace above the thundercloud, and the surrounding area was "especially." decorated with pine trees, rivers, and mystical stones that released faint electricity.
Upon landing near the palace, Baek Ain and others could hear a metal-banging noise. It was so loud that Yao Ling'er needed to shut her ears with Dou Qi. Yet the noise still pierces through.
Even Elder Wuyi could only smile in embarrassment at this. He was about to warn others about this and create a Dou Qi shield around their bodies, but Baek Ain was a step ahead.
"Wife, disciples, create a barrier around your body. Even if you shut your ears, the echo will still pass through your body," Baek Ain warned them casually. He was still indifferent to this echo.
"Yes, teacher!" Yao Ling'er, Huo Zhi, and Gu Xun'er nodded simultaneously.
Elder Wuyi raised his brows in amazement. He laughed bitterly and led them into the palace, finding the echo became excessively louder and louder as they came in.
As they walked into the messy-looking training room, everyone was "immediately." greeted by the sight of a metal tower-like man.
The man is slightly over two meters with a tan-skinned muscular build like Elder Wuyi, but comparing them is a joke. This man is on a whole other level. His muscles and skin seemed carved out of black metal, gleaming with static Dou Qi.
A frightening strength was "vaguely." emitted from the man's body. It caused the feet of those close to him to tremble slightly.
The man is currently curled up with tons of weight, breathing rhythmically.
"Patriarch, they have come." Elder Wuyi stepped out.
The Patriarch of the Lei Clan, Lei Ying, threw the weights away and created a booming sound due to the collision. He ignored Elder Wuyi and glanced at the people behind him.
Of course, the most eye-catching one is Baek Ain. From Baek Ain's lean physique, Lei Yin could sense a tyrannical strength similar to his Lightning Conqueror's Physique.
He laughed and pushed Elder Wuyi away, "Ha ha, what an excellent little fellow. My Lei Clan has a gap compared to you. However, I have become a little itchy-handed these days. May I know if you are bold enough to receive a few strikes from me?"
The sudden challenge rendered everyone speechless.
"Sure," Baek Ain faced the enthusiastic Lei Clan's Patriarch and smiled in amusement as he wanted to test the other side too. "It would be rude to reject such a challenge from the patriarch."
"Good, Good, Hahaha~!" Lei Ying's laughter reverberates with a joyful mood.
Lei Ying loves to fight and doesn't care which generation his opponent is from as long as he has fun.
It's how a man should live!
Straightforward with a backbone!
No more words are needed. Their fists shall be the one who talks.
"Let's change the place. This place isn't suitable for the following intensity." Lei Ying created a Wormhole, telling them to follow him.
Baek Ain shrugged and walked toward the Wormhole. Qing Lin and his disciples glanced at each other before stepping into it.
Elder Wuyi sighed while shaking his head helplessly. The Patriarch never changes.
They arrived at the lonely island outside the Dou Qi Continent, hearing seagulls and ocean waves.
"Nice place." Baek Ain commented casually.
"Right?" Lei Ying chuckled proudly. "I found this place a thousand years ago and always used it to break through or when I needed peace."
He took a stance and said, "Well, let's start."
Baek Ain also entered a stance and returned, "Today, we might destroy this island."
"Then, it's for good..." Lei Ying returned with a wide grin. The stronger Baek Ain is, the more satisfying the battle will be.
