"You are practicing thunder magic." Empress Wenlin said to Fang Jian.
Fang Jian stood up, bowed to Madam Wenlin, and said, "Thank you, Madam."
Empress Wenlin nodded slightly, and Fang Jian sat back down and replied, "Yes, this method is called the Purple Palace Yuanlei True Scripture, which I learned from the Yuanguang Qi Training Method."
"Oh?" Empress Wenlin's eyes were clear as she looked at Fang Jian and exclaimed, "You actually have such talent. It's truly rare."
Then, Madam Wenlin asked, "Have you comprehended the Thirty-Six Thunder Techniques just now?"
"Thanks to the help of the Lotus Pill and the Immortal Soup bestowed by the Queen, I have already comprehended all thirty-six thunder spells." Fang Jian said.
Madam Wenlin nodded and said, "Okay, after the matter of Xihua Province is settled, I will personally introduce you to the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder Sound Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable. You can ask him for the teachings of the True Thunder Dao."
Fang Jian's face lit up with joy when he heard this, and he quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I am deeply grateful!"
Empress Wenlin waved her hand, looked at Fang Jian and said, "The Heavenly Court is in need of talents right now. Immortal officials like you should be well nurtured. You know that the destiny of the world is in chaos and the calamity force is colliding. Besides this great world of Yama, many other realms are in turmoil."
Fang Jian was a little surprised and asked, "Why is that?"
Empress Wenlin said, "Since the creation of the universe, yin and yang, time and space have been created between heaven and earth. The so-called 'the four directions, up and down, are called the universe, and the past and present are called the universe.' When chaos first split, it transformed into countless universes, some positive and some negative, some up and some down, some large and some small, and some parallel. Within these countless universes, there are billions of celestial realms, home to countless living beings. After the Dao Ancestor passed down the great way, these countless universes gave birth to countless gods and immortals and cultivators, as well as demons and monsters that entered the world, and ghosts and monsters appeared in large numbers. Thus, there was struggle, there was fighting, and with it, the power of catastrophe."
"Five great calamities followed the creation of the world: Longhan, Chiming, Kaihuang, Shanghuang, and Yankang. These five calamities were the collision and fusion of the calamity forces between heaven and earth, transforming into quantitative calamities for the entire Heavenly Dao. Countless innate gods, demons, and immortals perished during these calamities, reduced to ashes without even the chance to reincarnate. It was at the end of the Yankang calamity that the Heavenly Dao, following the decree of the Three Pure Ones, established the Heavenly Court. Your Majesty, who had endured eons of calamity, became the ruler of the Heavenly Court and the Supreme Being of the Three Realms. The Jade Emperor's position was the center of the convergence of countless calamity forces. Your Majesty constantly dissolves and harmonizes these calamity forces to prevent them from transforming into quantitative calamities."
"From then on, the Heavenly Laws appeared, and gradually rules were established between heaven and earth. Immortals could no longer act arbitrarily, and could not arbitrarily stir up the power of cause and effect."
"However, over the past million years, the calamity energy between heaven and earth has gradually begun to erupt again. Your Majesty has been searching for the cause, but has found nothing so far."
"When Sun Wukong caused chaos in the Heavenly Palace, he was suppressed by the Buddha for five hundred years. Do you know what the Five Elements Mountain was made of?"
Fang Jian frowned, indicating that he didn't know.
Empress Wenlin said calmly, "The Five Elements Mountain that suppressed Sun Wukong was formed by the Buddha using the accumulated calamity force from heaven and earth over a million years. Sun Wukong's suffering for five hundred years of suppression actually helped Heaven dissipate a million years of calamity force. This calamity force is enough to destroy hundreds of thousands of Golden Immortals."
"Is there such a hidden secret?" Fang Jian asked solemnly, "What do the Taoist and Buddha think?"
Empress Wenlin said, "The Daoist Ancestor holds the highest position of respect, being the forefather of the Dao. Your Majesty and the Western Tathagata Buddha were also able to overcome tribulations and attain the Dao thanks to the Daoist Ancestor's guidance. However, the Great Daoist Ancestor resides year-round in the 'Great Scarlet Heaven Eight Scenery Palace,' never leaving his home. He has not appeared in the world for millions of years. Only the Great Lord Laojun, once the incarnation of the Daoist preacher, resides in the Tushita Palace in Heaven, and often meets with us."
"It turns out that this Supreme Taoist Ancestor is also a homebody." Fang Jian thought to himself.
Empress Wenlin continued, "Laojun and the Buddha have reported to Your Majesty that a true demon has descended from the heavens, stirring up cause and effect and triggering the calamity of all realms."
At this point, Empress Wenlin glanced at Fang Jian and said, "The realm you originally lived in is where the collision of karma and calamity is most intense."
"I came from the Jietian..." Fang Jian was stunned when he heard that. There was no doubt that the place he came from was the Earth, but shouldn't this be a secret?
Empress Wenlin looked at his expression and smiled, "As long as it's a certain world, it's under the control of the Heavenly Court. No matter where it comes from, we can just ask Zhou Tianxingjun to investigate and we'll know."
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately said, "But in the world where I live, there are no gods, demons, or Taoist magic."
Empress Wenlin said, "There's a reason for this. Two hundred years ago, the calamity energy of the world you inhabited experienced a significant fluctuation, which caught His Majesty's attention. He then ordered his Clairvoyant Eyes and Wind-Ears to investigate, and they discovered that something had occurred in your world that had never occurred in any other heaven or world."
"Could it be..." Fang Jian's mind naturally thought of the Industrial Revolution that the human beings on Earth were proud of.
Of course, Empress Wenlin didn't care about this. Instead, she said, "The development of weapons has caused the intensity of wars between mortals to rival the intensity of melees between Yuanying realm cultivators. Later, powers emerged that could reach the full strength of a Yangshen cultivator. This power is mastered by mortals and can be used easily. In just two major wars, hundreds of millions of people were killed or injured, and the enormous calamity force caused turmoil in heaven and earth."
"At that time, immortals advised against annihilating all living beings in this universe to prevent further calamity, but Your Majesty overruled them." Empress Wenlin said seriously, "But if they were allowed to continue developing, their potential would be limited to the power of a True Immortal. To advance further, they would need the power of Taoism. So Your Majesty ordered the Taoist and Buddha ancestors to sever the spiritual energy and Taoism in that universe, bringing about the 'End of the Dharma Era', where Taoism declined and perished. They also separated this universe from the myriad worlds, leaving it to fend for itself within this universe."
