Upon realizing her feelings, Lei Qianjiao found it unbelievable and fell into a daze.
She wanted to deny this emotion, but the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't help but care.
That peculiar feeling grew stronger and stronger, accompanied by an intense sense of shame.
It was only then that she finally confirmed it; it seemed she had indeed fallen for Wu Tian.
This realization shocked her immensely. A woman like her, in terms of strength, status, or wealth, could be considered exceptionally outstanding in the entire world.
Therefore, her standards were very high. Even though she had lived for over fifty years, she had never fallen for any man.
She had always believed that her future partner would be a god-like man.
That man would break into her heart, and she would never forget him for the rest of her life.
In that case, did she already approve of Wu Tian to such an extent?
But when did this happen?
Lei Qianjiao's mind had crashed, essentially losing its ability to think.
Seeing Lei Qianjiao's strange demeanor, Wu Tian couldn't help but ask, "Hey, what's wrong? Are you still feeling unwell anywhere?"
Lei Qianjiao suddenly snapped back to reality.
But as soon as her gaze met Wu Tian's, she immediately felt a deep shyness and couldn't help but shift her gaze away, saying dryly:
"Ah... this, I'm not feeling unwell at all, really, you have to believe me."
Such words naturally only made Wu Tian more confused. He frowned, and although he didn't say much, his gaze filled with bewilderment still made Lei Qianjiao feel exceptionally shy.
Under the tension, she couldn't help but say again, "Hey, hey, hey, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Is there something wrong with what I said? Are you suspecting me of something?"
Upon saying this, she felt she might be too harsh on Wu Tian. She softened her tone and said, "No... I just mean I'm fine, don't ask any further..."
The more Wu Tian looked, the more he felt his mind was not working properly.
He thought to himself, "It's over. Did this woman hit her head when she was attacked just now? Is her mental state not good?"
Thinking this, he continued to stare intently at Lei Qianjiao, trying to see what was wrong with her.
Under his gaze, Lei Qianjiao felt as if needles were pricking her back, and her back was even drenched in sweat.
She could no longer bear the awkward atmosphere, so she stood up directly and said with feigned indifference, "Alright, alright, can you stop looking?"
"I don't like this place. Since I've got what I came for, there's no need to stay any longer. Let's leave first."
Wu Tian looked at Lei Qianjiao's slender figure and muttered to himself, "It's over, it's over. It looks like she's seriously injured..."
Afterward, the two left the cave directly.
As for the people still alive in the great hall, they had no intention of bothering with them. Whatever happened, happened.
As for the deceased disciples of the Sacred Thunder Sect, they could only rest in eternal slumber in this place.
After all, before entering the Thunder God Immortal Realm, they should have been prepared for the possibility of death at any moment.
Moreover, those two had brought it upon themselves, so it could only be this way.
The people who had gathered outside had also dispersed. It seemed they all knew that with their strength, they couldn't challenge the waterfall barrier.
Instead of continuing to stare blankly, it was better to go about their own business.
Afterward, Wu Tian and Lei Qianjiao continued walking in the forest, intending to leave the area first.
The forest was so vast it seemed endless. The two walked in the forest for a full week but still couldn't get out.
During this time, Wu Tian was not idle. When they had walked enough, he would begin to digest the energy within his body.
He wasn't in a hurry to improve his strength, but rather, this energy had to be digested within a certain period.
After all, no matter what, that power was too immense.
Even if Wu Tian could suppress it for a while, he couldn't suppress it forever.
If he couldn't digest it quickly, he would suffer great trauma when the energy rebounded.
As he digested more and more energy, Wu Tian's strength gradually improved significantly without him realizing it.
He could already faintly sense a barrier, and when that barrier was completely broken, he would become a high-grade immortal.
Perhaps he would be the youngest high-grade immortal in history!
The two continued walking in the forest for another three days.
Finally, after much effort, they finally reached the edge of the forest.
Looking out, they saw a vast grassland. However, the grass in this grassland, like the plants in the forest, flowed with faint electric currents.
These currents had no effect on Wu Tian and the others, but if an ordinary person walked into it, they would likely be electrocuted along the way.
The sudden expanse of their vision also made Wu Tian's mood considerably better.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah, my heavens, we've finally left this cursed place."
Lei Qianjiao had also been unable to bear it any longer and said, "I really don't know how the Thunder God managed to carve out such a world. It's too vast."
"After we cross this grassland, who knows how much more time it will take."
Wu Tian waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, no need to say such things now. We've finally made it out, let's think about happy things first."
"What if this grassland is the last map? Perhaps after crossing the grassland, we can leave the Thunder God Immortal Realm."
Lei Qianjiao nodded and said, "Let's hope so. If I had known the Thunder God Immortal Realm would be like this, I wouldn't have come. It's truly seeking suffering when I could have had a good life."
"And I don't know what else will happen next."
Wu Tian smiled and was about to say something.
But at that moment, a pillar of light shot up from the ground into the sky ahead!
At the same time, a vast aura quickly spread out.
The aura traveled at the speed of a tsunami, and within three seconds, it had covered the entire Thunder God Immortal Realm.
"What's going on?" Seeing this, Lei Qianjiao was startled and asked subconsciously.
Wu Tian also didn't understand the situation. Why would such a pillar of light appear out of nowhere?
