45 Heaven’s Envy

Although Yu Nianzhen's state of mind was tempered by the ten-storey pagoda, it was impossible not to be afraid.

However, he couldn't allow himself to be paralysed by fear.

He knew that whatever would come could not be escaped. His only choice was to adjust his condition and wait for the inevitable.

He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and began to circulate his qi.

After a few moments of meditation, Yu Nianzhen's state of mind became more relaxed.

He became a little unburdened and prepared to accept the fate looming beyond his vision.

At that moment, a crackling sound was heard.

This crackling was louder than before, and Yu Nianzhen finally recognised it as thunder.

Soon after, a white light penetrated his cave from the sky.

"Lightning?" Yu Nianzhen was surprised.

However, he only had time to recognise it.
