860 Lightning Strikes (1/2)
Also, what in all the hells does 'there might be a chance' even mean? Doesn't that mean that there is also an equal chance of failing to open it even at that stage?
Still, a sliver of hope was better than none.
Well no matter what it was, this little toy was already stored within the space of my consciousness. Nobody can take it away from me…
Although the road to refine my art and techniques will be extremely tough, success would surely come eventually — there is still time!
Reaching this thought, Yun Yang could finally soothe the worry in his pounding heart. There was nothing to fret about any longer!

Three days later, the two of them stood at the peak.
”Are you ready?”
”Yes. How about you?”
”I'm ready as well.”
They lapsed into silence after that sentence.
”You really not going back to take a look at anything?”

The overcast sky blanketed the entire Tianxuan Continent in an intimidating manner — it was anywhere and everywhere.
At this moment, the people of the entire continent gaped at the skies in fright.
