Bones lie exposed in the wilderness; for a thousand miles, not a chicken crows. Of every hundred people, scarcely one survives. The thought of it rends the heart.
The rich fill their halls with wine and meat, while frozen corpses lie by the roadside.
In the chaotic Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Eastern Han dynasty, no transmigrator can ever feel safe.
Li Lin wants to flee into the mountains at once, rob the rich, build a base, and gather followers.
But in this world, people can cultivate. Martial artists unleash waves of energy that split mountains and shatter rocks, while scholars summon wind and rain and flood entire armies.
Even the remotest forests teem with strange beasts. Build a base? It could be torn apart in minutes.
With no other choice, Li Lin has to keep living under the protection of the imperial court.
Fortunately, he discovers the Heavenly Thunder Scripture, a cultivation manual so dangerous that no one dares practice it.
Li Lin builds a generator and uses electricity in place of heavenly thunder, successfully cultivating the Lightning Scripture. Now he has a ticket to becoming a top expert, and another to ending the age of chaos.
Confidently, Li Lin emerges from the mountains and rescues Lady Cai, wife of Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou. But he receives none of the gratitude he deserves.
Fine. The east bank of the river may be poor today, but in thirty years it’ll be rich. Don’t look down on a young man just because he’s poor. You, Cai woman, will regret this.
