As Sima You Yue fell to the ground, the calamitous clouds dissipated, pleased with their work.

Everyone looked at Sima You Yue, who was charred, and could not help but cover their mouths in shock. There was not a part of her body that was unscathed, and there was a smell of burnt flesh in the air. If not for the fact that they could still feel her breath of life, everyone would have mistakenly thought that she had been electrocuted to death by that last bolt of lightning.

That was too cruel towards a woman!

“Cough cough, You Qing, please help her settle this.” Sima Tai said. What he meant was, to get a piece of clothing to cover up her body. With her in this state, not a single person dared to touch her. There will still sounds of fizzing and crackling coming from her. Any person who touched her might get electrocuted by her skin. Sima Lin took out a piece of clothing and walked towards her, using it to cover Sima You Yue’s body gently.

“It’s not good for her to lie here exposed in the open ike that, let’s make a tent for her.” Wei Zi Qi said. And so a few of them built a tent around her, so that she lay right inside it.

It was only Sima Tai and the rest were sure that she was fine before they were able to leave. Only Sima You Qing and a few others remained to care for her. After the people in the Ink City had found out what happened within the Yi Lin family clan, they grew increasingly curious of this family. But since the commotion was over, they started to go their separate ways as well.

Although Sima You Yue continued to lie on the ground, she was fully aware of what was going on around of what was going on. She was not unconscious, just simply in a lot of pain.

As she had been electrocuted by that bolt of lightning, it felt as though her body had gone out of her control. She could hear the sound of the electricity flowing, and felt the electricity move in her body. She even felt the electricity moving around her body a few times, and making its way into the dantian, making itself a home right beside the dark spiritual strength, and successfully created a territory in her.

Could it be that from this moment, that she would be able to harness the powers in lightning? She’d never heard of anyone who had gained such an attribute later in their lives. But as she pondered over the fact that other individuals would not go through the calamitous lightning storm even as they ascended to the divine rank, and that she had gone through a rather insane calamitous lightning storm, being able to gain the lightning attribute after overcoming such an incident should not be shocking to her. Nonetheless, she felt that the lightning attribute’s spiritual strength had, after finding its place, found its nemesis in the dark attribute. It was like looking at two children being at loggerheads and glaring angrily at each other, ready to break into a fight at any moment. Thankfully, they did not fight, if not her body might just get ripped into shreds given its current condition, and she would be the one to lose out.

Other than gaining the lightning attribute, Sima You Yue had also felt that her body, after being struck by the lightning, had been renewed, and had even become stronger, creating a greater effect on her than numerous years of training could.

“Although the process was terrible, its results were good. I guess it was worth it.” Sima You Yue thought to herself. “It was still extremely painful, though!”

She continued to lie down for about ten days. Bei Gong Tang had thought about moving to her to a bed, but each time she tried to touch her body, she got electrocuted as well. Sima You Yue could not speak, but only blink, and tried to tell them not to touch her. At this point of time, she had no control over her body, and neither could she control the spiritual strengths in her body. The spiritual strengths were in rather good shape, but the lightning attribute that she had just gained was new to her, and would not be subdued by her will. It flowed throughout her body, even electrocuting her when they touched.

In these ten days, she started to register the differences between being a spirit paragon and being in the divine rank. All the spiritual qis within her had slowly transformed into spiritual strength as she ascended ranks. From now, she would not simply be growing in strength by absorbing the spiritual qi in the air, but by nurturing the strength of the spiritual strength within her. However, she would now need to learn how to do exactly that.

Other than the changes within her body, she felt that her cognition had undergone some changes as well. The mind was, after all, just a part of the brain. Now she felt that her mind had expanded and had become stronger, just as her spiritual energies did. And in the days she was recovering, she was able to recall the memories that she had lost while she was injured, even those of the second world.

Ximen You Yue… So she really was Ximen You Yue.

The pain in her heart came searing through relentlessly. She closed her eyes, unable to stop the tears from flowing.

Bei Gong Tang and Sima You Qing entered the tent and saw that her hair had been thoroughly soaked by her tears, her eyes giving a different look from it did before.

“You Yue, what’s wrong?” As they looked into her eyes, and felt the auras that were coming off her, Bei Gong Tang sensed a heartache. The vibes that she was giving off were an array of feelings – the devastation of having lost everything, the wrath of a destroyer, and the vengeance that ensued with the anger.

“You Yue, are you feeling ill?” Sima You Qing asked. Sima You Yue shut her eyes, not wis.h.i.+ng to speak. Bei Gong Tang and Sima You Qing both had no clue what to do.

Suddenly, a s.p.a.ce portal appeared and opened up, and Wu Lingyu emerged from it. Seeing the person who appeared out of blank s.p.a.ce, Bei Gong Tang was calm, but Sima You Qing’s eyes widened in shock. Wu Lingyu looked at Sima You Yue, who was lying on the ground, and saw that there were only two other people in the room. He frowned and asked, “What happened?”

“You Yue has reached the divine rank, and invited a great storm. She got hit, and this is what happened. She lost control of her body, and it’s been ten days.” Bei Gong Tang said.

Wu Lingyu saw that Sima You Yue’s eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears, an felt a different energy emitting from her, and saw that her eyes were filled with pain and questioning. But he said nothing, but squatted next to Sima You Yue and reached out to grab her arm.

“Be careful, she…” They had wanted to tell him that there were electric currents on her skin, but they saw that they had no effect on him.

Wu Lingyu inspected her, stood up, and joined his hands together. With that. A warm ray appeared from his hands, covering Sima You Yue’s body. With each beam, and after a while, Sima You Yue felt that the electric qi had returned to her lower dantian, and regained control over her body.

Wu Lingyu retracted his powers, and Sima You Yue regained her freedom.

“You Yue, are you okay now?” Sima You Qing looked at her, elated.

This Wu Lingyu was rather powerful, huh. He was able to heal her with just one movement.

Sima You Yue did not answer her, and did not care that there was only a single piece of clothing covering her body, or that her body was still a charred piece of meat, and reached up to wipe the tears from her face. But no matter what she did, the tears seemed unending.

All the memories that couldn’t be erased and the anger and pain that emerged from her spirit caused her to fall apart.

“You Yue, what’s wrong? Is there something wrong with your body?” Sima You Qing asked worriedly, the anxiousness in her voice attracting the attention of those outside.

“Fifth Brother, what’s happened?” Sima You Le asked, his heart aching at the sight of Sima You Yue. He had never seen her act this way before. She used to be haughty and proud, and a little rebellious, and used to be full of fighting spirit. But now, she looked like a child who had been deeply hurt, unending tears flowing from her eyes.

How did she suddenly become like this?
