Hu Le held the lotus flower in his hands, turned his head and recognized the person who came. The person was called the Great God of Thunder, a primordial deity created from Thunder.
Of course, Razer quickly recognized him as well.
"So it's the God of the Cave Mystery, greetings." The Great God of Thunder floated down to Hu Le and bowed.
"Fellow Daoist Lei Ze is too kind."
Hu Le smiled slightly and returned the greeting.
The Great God Lei Ze glanced at the lotus in Hu Le's hand and shook his head inwardly. It was a pity that he had arrived a step too late. It seemed that he was destined to miss out on this treasure.
Although he had long known of the treasure's existence and considered it his for the taking, upon seeing it fall into Hu Le's hands, he quickly weighed the pros and cons and abandoned the idea of demanding the treasure back from Hu Le.
As for resorting to robbery.
Heh... He's not crazy enough to do something so unwise...
"Fellow Daoist, could it be that you have also come for this treasure?" Hu Le glanced at the lotus flower in his hand, then looked at the Great God Lei Ze with a smile.
Let's not beat around the bush.
The Great God Lei Ze didn't hide anything, pointing at the lotus flower and laughing, "To be honest, Your Majesty, I discovered this lotus flower here a hundred thousand years ago."
However, because it was not yet ripe, and not wanting to ruin its life, we did not pick it.
However, I have been paying attention to it all along.
Unexpectedly, not long ago, I suddenly had a premonition that this flower was about to ripen, much earlier than I had previously estimated.
That's why I came here specifically to take a look.
"I never expected it to be the Emperor's doing, hehe... no wonder."
As Razer spoke, a look of relief appeared on his face.
As the ruler of the Heavenly Court and a direct descendant of Pangu, Hu Le possessed such means to manipulate creation, so the Great God of Thunder was naturally not surprised...
"I see. It seems I've stolen someone else's love." Hu Le shook his head and chuckled.
“Your Majesty, there’s no need for that.” The Great God Lei Ze gently shook his head. “As the saying goes, treasures of heaven and earth belong to the virtuous. Now that it has fallen into Your Majesty’s hands, it means that it is destined for Your Majesty. What is this about taking what belongs to someone else?”
Of course, he was just saying it casually; he didn't believe the saying "the virtuous should occupy the position" at all.
Hu Le is the only one who got the treasure today.
What if someone with less skill and power tried to take his place?
For example, if that black dragon dared to try and steal this treasure from him, the Great God Lei Ze would skin him alive.
So, don't let Razer's seemingly simple and honest appearance fool you; he's actually quite adept at judging people based on their status...
Since the great god Lei Ze was giving him face, Hu Le certainly wouldn't give him the cold shoulder.
"Alas, it turns out that this item has already been coveted by you, fellow Daoist. It's a pity. If it were any other treasure, I might have returned it to you."
However, this item concerns my path to enlightenment, and I cannot refuse it. I hope you will not take offense, fellow Daoist.
The great god Lei Ze patted his lower abdomen, and a thunderous sound immediately followed.
"It's just a mere innate object. The Emperor can take it. There's no need to talk about blaming him or not."
Next, the great god Lei Ze invited Hu Le to his dojo.
The Daoist temple of the Great God of Thunder was built in a celestial mountain deep within Thunder.
This mountain is called Yunlei Mountain. It is about 10,000 feet high and stretches for thousands of miles. Its upper half is completely shrouded in a thundercloud.
At the top of the mountain stands a magnificent celestial palace, where the great god Lei Ze usually cultivates.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a huge city, inhabited by a group of Thunder Clan people.
These Thunder Clan members are spirits born of thunder, naturally gifted with the ability to ride the clouds and control lightning.
For millions of years, they have worshipped the great god Leize as their ancestor and received his protection.
However, although the Thunder Clan is exceptionally gifted and born with the ability to control lightning, under the laws of nature, every gain comes with a loss.
While they are born strong and live a long life, they find it quite difficult to reproduce.
Over millions of years, the number of the Thunder Clan has only reached a mere hundred thousand.
They can be considered one of the smallest races in the primordial world.
However, in terms of strength, apart from a few major races such as the human race, there are very few races that can compare with it...
The two arrived at Mount Lei and sat down in the celestial palace.
The great god Lei Ze ordered his men to present Hu Le with the mountain's specialty spiritual fruits for him to taste.
After consuming two spiritual fruits, Hu Le casually offered a couple of compliments.
Of course, he was only praising the taste.
As for their wonderful uses, although these fruits are also innate, they are far inferior to those top-tier spiritual roots, and the effects of the fruits they produce are naturally incomparable to those.
After exchanging pleasantries, the two released their respective auspicious clouds and began exchanging teachings and discussing the Dao in the hall.
The Dao they discussed naturally focused on the Dao of Thunder.
After some discussion, the great god Lei Ze also admired Hu Le's mastery of the Way of Thunder.
He was, after all, the first person in the primordial world to condense the innate thunder seed, and had long since mastered this great path.
It can be said that few in the entire prehistoric world can compare with him in terms of understanding and application of the Thunder Dao.
Hu Leyu was able to engage in lively debates with him, mutually corroborating each other's points and offering insightful observations that impressed him. How could he not admire him?
Of course, at this moment he seemed to have already guessed what Hu Le would do with that lotus flower.
In his view, Hu Le was only a hair's breadth away from condensing the Thunder Dao Seed; all he lacked was a primordial treasure that could entrust the Great Dao to him...
After their discussion, Hu Le was also quite convinced of the Great God Lei Ze's mastery of the Thunder Dao. He immediately had some ideas and asked the Great God Lei Ze to join the Heavenly Court.
Upon hearing Hu Le's invitation, the great god Lei Ze immediately declined.
Wouldn't it be better to stay in Lei Ze and live a carefree life? He must be crazy to be bewitched by Hu Le and join the Heavenly Court to be controlled by others.
Hu Le offered a few more words of advice, but seeing that Lei Ze was determined, he didn't want to press the matter too much.
So he turned to a less desirable option and wanted to invite some members of the Thunder Clan to serve in the Heavenly Court.
This time, Razer hesitated.
Remembering that she had already embarrassed Hu Le once, she knew that if she refused again, it would be awkward for both of them.
He thought about it for a moment and finally agreed.
As for the wishes of the Thunder Clan, neither Hu Le nor the Thunder God paid any attention to them.
The Lord of Heaven personally invited him.
The great god Razer agreed.
Do they have any room to refuse?
Do you really think these two are easy to talk to?
So, the great god Lei Ze sent people to the Thunder Clan and asked them to select five thousand people to join the Heavenly Court.
Before long, all five thousand clansmen arrived outside the celestial palace, led by a couple.
One is called the Thunder God, and the other is called the Lightning Goddess.
The great god Lei Ze ordered the two to enter the palace, and then had them go forward to pay their respects to Hu Le.
After sitting for a while, Hu Le said goodbye to the great god Lei Ze.
Out of politeness, the Great God Lei Ze tried to persuade Hu Le to stay a couple of times, but when Hu Le did not agree, he personally escorted him out of the Immortal Palace.
Finally, Hu Le led the five thousand Thunder Clan members in a grand procession towards the edge of the Thunder Swamp River...
