The rain in Chaoge lasted all afternoon. In the end, Yin Shou, fearing another flood, stopped Mengmeng and told her that it would be best to let the rain fall for an hour each day. In this way, the damage caused by the drought would be completely resolved in seven days at most.
Thus, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas could only stay for the time being, their faces long and mournful.
Soon, the four Dragon Kings returned to the Zhutian Tower with Mengmeng. Because Li Daoyi and the two women were in seclusion, the Zhutian Tower was temporarily closed. Mengmeng was being taken care of by the Queen, although in reality, the little one was just wandering around everywhere every day.
"What do you mean? Why are you making that face? I didn't really hurt you."
Upon entering the Tower of All Heavens and seeing the expressions of the Dragon Kings, Mengmeng asked...
"Little Immortal, we're doomed," Ao Guang said with a bitter smile.
Having offended a sage, they naturally met with a bad end.
"Are you afraid of that person?" Mengmeng asked.
The group nodded.
"snort..."
Just then, a cold snort rang out.
The group looked in the direction of the sound and saw two people sitting in the center of the hall, drinking tea.
"Hehe, did you all see that? Wasn't I amazing?" Mengmeng ran happily towards the two of them and jumped into the arms of the Tongtian Sect Leader, looking at him with a "Praise me" expression.
"Amazing, so amazing! Even I was startled." Tongtian patted Mengmeng's head affectionately.
"Greetings to the Sage, greetings to the Great Immortal Zhenyuan."
Ao Guang and his three companions knelt on the ground, their legs trembling, utterly shocked to find that the Tongtian Sect Leader and Zhenyuan Daxian were right before them.
"Do you know your crime?" Tongtian asked.
Upon hearing this, Ao Guang and the others nearly collapsed, immediately prostrating themselves on the ground.
"Your wisdom is profound! Brothers Xiaolong and the others had no other choice," Ao Guang said, weeping.
“Alright, you can’t blame them. After all, they couldn’t resist that person’s words,” Zhen Yuanzi said.
"I'll spare you this time. Get up," Tongtian said, his expression softening slightly.
The group stood up tremblingly.
They then looked at each other again, and then knelt down.
"Hmm?" Tongtian frowned.
"Master, please save us!"
"Have mercy, sage! Save us brothers!"
"Yes, please have mercy."
"Oh? Are you afraid he'll cause you trouble?" Tongtian asked.
The group nodded quickly.
"Don't worry, he hasn't shown up yet, so he probably doesn't dare to publicize this matter."
"But..." The group still looked worried. Just because they weren't causing trouble now didn't mean they wouldn't in the future. They would still be finished eventually.
“It’s no use begging me,” Tongtian said.
"Then..." Soon, the group all looked at Zhen Yuanzi at the same time.
"You're so pedantic! Have you forgotten who captured you?" Zhen Yuanzi sneered.
The group then realized what was happening and couldn't help but look at Mengmeng, who was sitting in Tongtian's arms eating snacks.
"Little Immortal..." Ao Guang called out softly.
"Hmm, it's okay, it's okay. From now on, my brother and I will protect you. No matter who tries to bully you, they'll have to ask us first," Mengmeng said proudly.
Jilong was skeptical. How could another older brother have appeared? Who was he?
"Don't worry, you will meet that person. Since Mengmeng has protected you, I will not stand idly by," Tongtian said to the group.
Ao Guang and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. Putting everything else aside, Tongtian had already vouched for them. However, they were still curious about the child's identity and who this so-called older brother was.
The roof of the Heavenly Tower is also known as the Spiritual Time Chamber.
Inside the room, Li Daoyi slowly opened his eyes from his cultivation. He then looked at the two figures, one red and one white, in the barrier not far away. Dongfang Bubai and Xiaolongnu were still cultivating, and judging from their aura, they had already broken through to the Golden Immortal realm.
"I've finally reached the late stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal," Li Daoyi thought to himself.
He didn't break through directly during his last seclusion because he was afraid of his cultivation level becoming unstable. This time, he spent several hundred years breaking through directly to the late stage of Taiyi. Of course, this was largely due to the support from his disciples.
Li Daoyi then opened his points panel and was immediately stunned.
The points that had been almost used up for purchasing magic weapons, cultivation techniques, and pills suddenly became a billion again, even more than before.
"What happened?"
Li Daoyi was full of question marks, but then he realized what was happening and checked his points record. He saw that the system notifications were filled with messages about points increases.
"Tongtian, Zhenyuanzi, Yin Shou, Yuanshi Tianzun, Haotian, Ao Guang, Ao Run..."
At the very beginning of the information panel were these familiar names, followed by countless unfamiliar faces.
"Damn, what did I do?" Li Daoyi was completely bewildered.
"System, what's going on?" Li Daoyi asked.
"Reporting to the host, Mengmeng has done something that has shocked the world, and the astonishment value that happened to her has been automatically added to the host."
"Mengmeng? What happened to this child?"
Immediately afterward, Li Dao waved his hand, and a phantom image appeared before his eyes, showing Mengmeng using a golden rope to lock the dragon.
"..." Li Dao was stunned for a moment.
As the video played, Li Daoyi finally understood what had happened outside.
“Yuanshi, you are truly despicable,” Li Daoyi sneered.
"But this is unexpected. Mengmeng actually gave me points. Tsk tsk, why didn't she do this before? It's really strange." Li Daoyi was a little puzzled. The little guy had done many shocking things before, but this had never happened before. He didn't expect this to happen.
"As the host's cultivation level has improved, this system has also added new functions. As Mengmeng has a deep bond with the host, the system assumes that Mengmeng, like the host, can convert astonishment value into points," the system explained.
"I see." Li Daoyi nodded.
"This child really surprises me time and time again," Li Daoyi sighed.
Looking at the billion points, Li Daoyi gave up the idea of leaving seclusion. He planned to break through to the Great Luo realm directly and then use the remaining points to draw cards. He didn't believe he couldn't draw a Hunyuan card. He knew that his Yangmei Hunyuan card only had less than three-quarters of an hour left. Once it was used up, how could he show off? He couldn't rely on Mengmeng for everything, could he?
"The Investiture of the Gods will begin in about four years, so there shouldn't be any problem," Li Daoyi thought to himself.
He then entered a state of cultivation again.
What happened in Chaoge could not be kept secret and spread at an extremely fast pace. The entire heaven and earth knew that a powerful being had locked up the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas and forcibly brought rain. Moreover, it was rumored that a three-year-old girl had done it. Naturally, countless people scoffed at this claim, but for some, it sparked some speculation.
Since that day, the Jade Emperor of Heaven has been restless, and as news from the mortal realm arrived, his unease grew stronger.
"Who exactly is that child?" Thinking of Mengmeng's figure in the mirror that day, Haotian couldn't help but ask again. That look, that aura, and the fact that he casually destroyed his magic weapon, meant that he was definitely not an ordinary powerful being, but he just couldn't figure out who it could be.
Meanwhile, in Nuwa's palace, Nuwa also learned of this news. She naturally guessed that the child was Mengmeng, but she did not expect that the little guy was so powerful that he could even destroy a wisp of the primordial spirit of the Primordial Heavenly Lord.
“The whole family are eccentrics…” Nuwa couldn’t help but shake her head and sigh.
On the South China Sea, a tree branch as thick as an arm swayed with the waves, and on the branch stood a white figure. This person was wearing a white cassock, his head was bald, his hands were clasped together, and his face was very peaceful. It was Baiyi Wutian, who left Chaoge a year ago to travel the world.
Wutian had reached the peak of Quasi-Saint and asked Li Daoyi how to break through to the Primordial Chaos realm. Li Daoyi told him to find himself and rediscover his original intention. Even if he was just Wutian's good corpse, he could still reach the other shore.
So Wutian chose to travel the world in search of his own path.
He has been drifting at sea for several days now, aimlessly rising and falling with the waves, his heart at peace.
Just then, a lucky cloud drifted over Wutian's head, and then the cloud suddenly slowed down.
"Huh?"
A woman's surprised cry rang out from the clouds high in the sky. Above the auspicious clouds was a woman dressed as a Taoist priest. She was dressed in white, with a female crown, and was dignified and elegant. Her face was very beautiful, with kind eyes and gentle features. In her right hand she held a jade scepter with three treasures, and in her left hand she held a pure glass bottle. She was Cihang Daoren, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Jade Void Sect.
Cihang Daoren looked at Wutian on the sea with a hint of surprise. What attracted her was Wutian's temperament and his attire. Cihang had never seen a cultivator with this appearance before. Most importantly, Wutian gave her a very peculiar feeling.
And so, Cihang Daoren on the auspicious cloud followed Wutian, while Wutian kept his eyes closed, hands clasped together, and a smile on his face, letting the branches beneath his feet carry him with him as he drifted along.
One day, two days, three days, a full seven days have passed.
Cihang Daoren followed Wutian on the auspicious cloud for seven whole days, observing him for seven days. For some reason, the more she observed, the more curious she became, and she did not feel bored at all. Wutian's hands clasped together and the smile on his lips on the sea surface seemed to have some kind of magic. Several times, Cihang Daoren couldn't help but want to imitate him by clasping her hands together, but she ultimately restrained herself.
"Who is he? Why do I feel a strange sense of closeness to him even though I've never seen him before?"
"Why does this outfit and those gestures stir my heart?"
Cihang Daoren thought to himself, his usually calm Dao heart seemed to have been stirred at this moment.
"All phenomena are illusory; all conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, dew, and lightning. Thus you should contemplate them."
Just as Cihang was feeling uneasy, the white-robed man below suddenly spoke a few words.
Upon hearing this, Cihang Daoren's body trembled violently, and the words kept repeating in his mind.
At this moment, Wutian on the tree branch finally opened his eyes, and a golden light flashed from them.
He didn't look up, still gazing at the vast, turbulent sea, then smiled slightly and said...
"Fellow Daoist, your mind is in turmoil."
