Lu Yunli looked at A Yao, his haggard face streaked with tears, and said sorrowfully:
"Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, I know you have hatred in your heart. Big brother doesn't blame you. It's all my fault! I deserve to die!" He raised his hand and slapped himself hard. After slapping the left side, he slapped the right side. The sound of slapping kept coming. Lu Yun Shen couldn't bear it. He ran over and grabbed Lu Yun Li's hand.
"Big brother, please don't do this!" Lu Yunshen grabbed Lu Yunli's hand, looking at A Yao with pleading eyes, "Little Seven..."
Before he could even plead, he heard A Yao snort coldly: "Damn it, I was having a great time reading the storybook, and you guys ruined my mood."
After saying this, a burst of spiritual light appeared on his body, and he transformed into a long rainbow, flying towards a palace on a mountain peak. Then, the entire palace was enveloped by a transparent purple barrier.
Lu Yunli gazed at the palace shrouded in the barrier, a deep pain and despair on his face. Lu Yunshen comforted him, saying:
"Big brother, let's go back first!"
Lu Yunli recalled Lu Xuening's mocking expression, and the looks of schadenfreude or pity he received after becoming a cripple. He said bitterly and indignantly:
"No, no, I won't leave. I'll kneel here until Xiaoqi is willing to help me."
He stubbornly knelt there, and no matter how Lu Yun Shen tried to persuade him, he couldn't change his mind.
Inside the palace, A Yao knew what was happening outside, but she didn't care about Lu Yunli. If he wanted to kneel, let him kneel.
A crystal half-roll, a purple incense burner burning with wisps of incense, A Yao sat in front of the screen with the painting of flying fairies in the main hall, continuing to read Xu Fengzhi's storybook.
The annotations written by Xu Fengzhi, who was twelve or thirteen years old, were really interesting. As I read them, I immediately forgot about Lu Yunli, that unlucky guy.
In the storybook, where the male and female protagonists happily get married, Xu Fengzhi wrote in his annotation: "When I grow up, I want to have two children with my wife. Two children are just right. They can play together, but they won't be too noisy."
Ayao sensed a hint of loneliness and solitude in these words.
She remembered that Xu Fengzhi was an only child and had no brothers or sisters. The other children in the Xu family seemed to be much older than him, so he probably didn't have many playmates when he was young.
Ayao looked at the annotation and said:
"I have many brothers and sisters, but unfortunately none of them like me..."
She touched the dried ink with her fingers and said softly, "I was just as lonely as you were when I was little..."
Ayao lingered on that page for a long time before turning it over. She read it page by page, and before she knew it, she had reached the last page.
After finishing the entire story, she noticed a totem drawn in the blank space at the back of the book. It was clearly not part of the original printing and looked like it was drawn by Xu Fengzhi. Her eyes were fixed on the totem, a lightning bolt-like pattern.
She only glanced at the lightning totem for a moment before her pupils suddenly contracted, as if a terrifying bolt of lightning had shot directly into them. Then, her entire body trembled violently, and a scene appeared before her eyes:
Endless lightning bolts cleaved down from the void, and the entire world was filled with thunder and lightning. In the sea of lightning formed by the power of thunder, lightning rolled, and ancient thunder dragons with bodies tens of thousands of feet long surged in the sea of lightning, creating angry waves, which were also thunder.
Suddenly, a figure appeared from the sea of thunder. His body radiated endless thunderous light, and nine-colored lightning bolts shot out from his body, each containing the aura of the origin. He walked on the sea of thunder, as if the lightning was surrounding him. He seemed to be the king of thunder, surveying this sea of thunder.
The moment he appeared, A Yao trembled. She felt an incomparably terrifying aura emanating from him. With each step he took, the entire world trembled, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
He was initially just a humanoid form formed from lightning, with no discernible facial features or anything else. As he walked step by step, his shape gradually changed.
The black lightning that surrounded him transformed into a black robe, the golden lightning into patterns on the robe, the red and blue lightning into accessories, and the silver lightning into his long, silver-white hair.
His face slowly transformed from a ball of blue lightning into defined features. He was an extremely handsome yet utterly aloof man with a pair of light golden eyes.
Ayao was utterly shocked; it was a face exactly like Xu Fengzhi's.
Suddenly, the scene before her eyes vanished, and Ayao sat in the chair, her eyes wide open. Her heart was pounding wildly, her mind filled with the images she had just witnessed.
What was that just now?
She looked at the thunder pattern on the storybook again, but this time, after a moment of observation, she saw no unusual phenomena.
The person she just saw was definitely not an illusion. This thunder diagram wasn't just a random doodle; it was a totem symbol imbued with Daoist wisdom, representing a Celestial Emperor who had reached the origin—it was an Imperial Seal. That's why she saw the scene she just witnessed when she saw this totem.
A Celestial Emperor who attained enlightenment through the origin of thunder?
Thunder Emperor?
Throughout history, there have been several immortal emperors who attained enlightenment through the origin of thunder, and they were all given the title of Thunder Emperor. The true names of the first and second generation Thunder Emperors have disappeared into the long river of history. According to records, the third generation Thunder Emperor perished 16.1 billion years ago, and the fourth generation Thunder Emperor vanished into nothingness 98.6 million years ago.
The Fifth Thunder Emperor disappeared 15.4 million years ago. In any case, I never saw him during the final war in my previous life, so he must have perished.
These Thunder Emperors don't necessarily have a direct lineage. Since they are all masters of the origin of thunder, they are all called Thunder Emperors. The designations of first, second, and third generation are for distinction. I've seen the Thunder Diagrams of the fifth and fourth generation Thunder Emperors, but they are not like that. So they can only be the third, second, and first generation.
Why does he look exactly like Xu Fengzhi?
Could Xu Fengzhi be the reincarnation of the Thunder Emperor?
Think about it, the aura of the Heavenly Dao of Reincarnation on Xu Fengzhi's body seems to be several times stronger than that of ordinary people.
All living beings are reincarnating in the myriad realms and countless stars. The more powerful a being is, the more power of reincarnation it needs to wash away all traces of its past life. As a result, after reincarnation, the aura of the Heavenly Dao of Reincarnation on its body is several times stronger than that of ordinary people.
However, some people with deep obsessions also need more power of the Heavenly Dao of Reincarnation to erase their memories of their past lives. After they are reincarnated, the aura of the Heavenly Dao of Reincarnation on their bodies is several times stronger than that of ordinary people.
Therefore, not all beings with a strong aura of reincarnation and the Heavenly Dao were immortal kings or immortal emperors in their previous lives.
Even powerful beings like Immortal Emperors and Immortal Kings may not be able to completely erase all traces of their past lives after entering reincarnation, so they still retain the imprint of their previous lives after reincarnation.
For example, retaining some behavioral habits or powers from the previous life, or looking extremely similar to, or even exactly the same as, someone from the previous life.
But if the cycle repeats enough times, it will eventually become unrecognizable.
Whether it's the first, second, or third generation Thunder Emperor, they've all been dead for so long. Even if Xu Fengzhi is their reincarnation, he must have reincarnated many times!
How can it still have a face?
