Chapter 422: You Go Save Him, Heavenly Thunder Bead
Fortunately, the Immortal Jinting fully demonstrated his virtue, even forcing the Taihu Lake God to submit. The Three Thousand Years Old knew he couldn't afford to offend the fox demon, so he handled it with caution, and fortunately, no misfortune came to pass.
When he returned to the mansion, he saw a young man coming into the cave.
The Three Thousand Years Old sighed and said, "Young Master shouldn't have come. The Water Palace has many spies. If we were seen, it would not be a good thing."
The young man turned around and said, "Don't worry, old Prime Minister. I came out with Du Heng. With him forcing his way in front, who would notice me?"
Three Thousand Years Old frowned and asked, "What happened to him?"
Tie Chen said, "The Golden Dragon King held a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and my adoptive father accepted the invitation. Du Heng took the opportunity to break into the Divine Palace, steal the Taihu Divine Lord and the Cloud-Breaking Rain Banner, and transfer all the rain workers employed in the palace away. I'm afraid they have already arrived at the Divine Scenery Palace by now."
The Three Thousand Year Old said, "If you don't stop him, won't the Lord punish you when he returns?"
Tie Chen sighed and said, "I tried to stop him, but he had the Taihu Divine Lord in his hands, so I was no match for him. The others in the mansion didn't dare to use force against him, and I couldn't even summon the Hongbo Formation, so how could I stop him?"
The Three Thousand Years Old man paced slowly and said, "I just returned from the Stone City King and met with the Great Immortal Jin Ting. The Great Immortal Jin Ting has great magical powers. Du Heng wants to rely on the Taihu Divine Lord and the Rain Worker Bulei to fight him, but I'm afraid it will be in vain. He will capture him in the end."
Tie Chen sneered and said, "I wonder if the Immortal Jin Ting will kill me this time."
Sanqian Sui said: "No, you have to go and save him."
Tie Chen's face changed and he said, "Why?! I want to skin them alive, why should I save him?"
The Three Thousand Year Old said, "If you don't save him, Du Heng will die, which will only make the Taihu God risk his life to fight against the Jinting Great Immortal. By then, the master's old subordinates will suffer heavy casualties, and it may not be possible to fulfill the young master's wish."
Tiechen gritted his teeth, deeply hating his own incompetence and powerlessness.
The Three Thousand Years Old understood his intentions. He took out the elixir he had obtained from reselling the treasures of the Water Palace and handed it to Tie Chen, saying, "Young Master, although the Great Immortal Jin Ting has great magical powers, he does not have the ability to kill the Taihu God. This matter cannot be rushed, and we must take it slowly. If you are not sure of victory, you must be patient and obedient no matter what."
Tie Chen took a deep breath and said, "I know, I know."
"But old Prime Minister, how can I save him from the hands of the Jinting Immortal?"
The Three Thousand Year Old said slowly, "Because the Great Immortal Jin Ting also has something to ask for. You told me that the Great Immortal Jin Ting wants to accept Du Heng as his disciple to resolve this feud."
Tie Chen nodded and said, "Yes, that day the Immortal Jin Ting said that if the Taihu God couldn't teach his son well, he could discipline him and even become a family."
The Three Thousand Years Old said, "A demon immortal like the Great Immortal Jin Ting wants to accept Du Heng as his disciple. Is Du Heng what he is after? It can only be the Taihu Water Palace, or something else."
Tie Chen looked at San Qian Sui, who looked back at him and said, "I can't go with you this time. If I show up, it might arouse suspicion. You better go now."
Tie Chen bowed deeply before the Three Thousand Year Old Monk, then turned into a stream of light and headed straight for the Shenjing Palace.
Wind and rain raged over Taihu Lake, dark clouds rolled in the sky, and thunder flashed. Although the celestial phenomena were not favorable, no trace of magical powers or Taoism could be seen.
But Tiechen understood that this wind, rain, and thunder were not natural, but could only be caused by Du Heng using the cloud-moving and rain-making flags. It was only because of the harmony with the divine way that no unusual signs could be seen.
Whether it's the Taihu God or the Cloud-Roaming Rain Banner, both are crucial Shinto artifacts. The former is a sacred artifact used to suppress Taihu Lake and control its water veins. Even though the Taihu God has changed several times, the Taihu God remains the Taihu God.
The Cloud-Moving and Rain-Breaking Flag was created in response to the duties of the Taihu Lake God. It is a magical artifact that regulates the wind and rain energy of Taihu Lake and blesses good weather and good harvests.
These two treasures were connected to the energy of Taihu Lake, allowing them to silently manipulate wind, rain, and thunder. The rainmaker hid beneath the cloud-moving and rain-dispersing flags, so naturally, no clues could be seen.
Du Heng has improved and knows that Jin Ting Daxian is difficult to deal with, so he wants to accumulate strength and give him a heavy blow.
It’s a pity that there has been progress, but not much.
Although the Immortal Jinting didn't hold a divine title, his method of controlling clouds and rain was taught by the Lord of Qiantang. The Divine Lord of Taihu Lake spent another three days meditating under his guidance. With his intuition of the Tongtian Method, the changes in Taihu Lake's energy could not escape his observation.
The Immortal Jinting stood in front of the Golden Palace. The entire Taihu Lake was in turmoil and the wind was howling. Only on the West Dongting Mountain, the clouds had disappeared and the rain had stopped. The moonlight broke through the dark clouds, revealing a hazy halo in the sky.
The moonlight coming through the gap was like the golden Buddha light, favoring only the West Dongting Mountain.
The elixir energy of the Great Immortal Jin Ting fluctuated in the air, guiding the moonlight.
The Thunder Officer was puzzled and asked, "Great Immortal, normally the sky is covered with dark clouds, but you never see us worshiping the moon. How come today you broke through the clouds and sent your elixir energy up to the sky?"
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "I am showing people the way."
"Directions?"
Before he finished speaking, a huge flag that covered the sky and the sun suddenly appeared above the dark clouds in the vast void, with dazzling lightning flashing in the middle. In just a moment, it was like a torrent generated by thunder, sweeping away the elixir energy of the Great Immortal Jin Ting.
There was a loud bang.
Countless thunders struck in the void, and the flashing lightning illuminated the sky, causing people's souls to tremble and their breath to collapse.
The scales on the Thunder Officer's body stood up like flowers, and he was so frightened that he almost fell off the golden palace.
The endless thunder of Jin Ting Daxian's Dan Qi struck like ice cracking, and in an instant it was covered with cracks. The magic power that was as diffuse as smoke and clouds was dispersed in an instant, as if it would collapse at any time.
Such thunder is far more severe than the thunder tribulation that many demons suffer when they are punished by heaven.
The Thunder Officer exclaimed, "Great Immortal!"
I saw the Great Immortal Jin Ting stretching out five long tails, and his whole body was flashing with dense arcs of electricity, but instead of fear, his face showed a hint of smile.
Above the clouds, the flag of cloud and rain was waving, and the God of Taihu Lake mobilized the spiritual energy of Taihu Lake and infused it into it. The two divine artifacts combined to exert extremely terrifying power.
The rain worker turned into thunder and struck, the moving clouds and rain flags moved the yin and yang, and the entire sky seemed to have become a sea of thunder.
Red, blue, white, and purple electric lights turned the sky into a magnificent sea of light. The continuously spreading arcs of electricity intersected with each other, producing more and hotter lights.
The Dan Qi wrapped in it was hit by endless thunder. With a loud bang, the Yuan Dan shattered, revealing one of the Hunyuan thunder beads.
The thunder ball was filled with talismans, like a dragon or a fox. As soon as it appeared, it turned into the eye of the storm like a whale, swallowing up the thunder in the clouds.
The entire sea of thunder swirled around the thunder bead, and Yu Gong was trapped in it, constantly spitting out thunder essence.
For a moment, it seemed as if the gods took action, using thunder as a hammer and yin and yang as firewood, forging that thunder bead.
The Thunder Officer trembled with excitement and asked, "Could this be the thunder technique that the Great Immortal cultivated? Isn't this a dragon ball?"
As soon as the thunder bead appeared, Du Heng in the cloud realized that he had fallen into a trap.
It was obvious that the demon Jin Ting Daxian was practicing the terrible thunder method with his own hands. He used the Taihu God to attract the infinite spiritual energy of Taihu Lake, and used the Cloud-Moving Rain Flag to mobilize the rain workers to launch heavenly thunder to eliminate demons, but in the end, all of it was just to make wedding dresses for this demon!
