Chapter 11: Divine Night Thunder (Part 2)
"Stop trembling, Sea Dragon. You're not in pain anymore, are you? Your eyes betray a hint of surprise. 'How do you feel?' Dao Ming is indeed too soft-hearted. If you were my disciple, I would have cured your bad habits long ago. Remember, we are your superiors, and all you can offer us is respect and obedience. If you dare to be reckless in front of other cultivators during our trip to the Wanhua Sect, think about the consequences yourself."
Piao Yu Dao Zun furrowed his brow and said, "Sister, that's enough. His body is weak and can't withstand too much suffering." She hadn't wanted to stop Zhi Shui Dao Zun earlier, but Lian Yun Sect had always placed great emphasis on seniority, and Hai Long was indeed too presumptuous. In order to teach him a lesson, she had let Zhi Shui Dao Zun do as he pleased. Now, looking at Hai Long's pained expression, she didn't feel good either.
"Master sister, you're just too soft-hearted. A little monkey like him needs to be taught a lesson or two. Hmph, I don't believe anyone isn't afraid of pain."
The resentment in Hailong's heart was growing more and more with the intensification of his pain, his clothes were already soaked with sweat, his consciousness was gradually becoming somewhat blurred, but at this moment, deep down in his heart, he was clearer than ever before. A seed of resentment had been deeply buried within him, and as long as there was an opportunity, this seed would surely take root and sprout.
Zhi Shui Dao Zun swung his hand, lifted the ban on Hai Long, and all the pain suddenly disappeared. Hai Long collapsed to the ground, gasping violently. At this moment, he couldn't even speak a word.
"That's it for this time, you must remember what I just said, got it?"
Hai Long nodded reluctantly, still keeping his head down, for he feared that Zhi Shui Dao Zun would see the deep hatred in his eyes. He knew that he was absolutely no match for the two Dao Zuns at present, so he could only endure and wait until his cultivation reached a level where he could contend with Zhi Shui Dao Zun before he could resist. For now, he had no choice but to submit.
Piaoyue Daozun flew to the side of Hailong, her jade-like hand gently waving, and a white dan bead the size of a dragon's eye appeared in her palm. The rich fragrance instantly spread across the entire blue-green cloud, "Hailong, just now your junior sister only used her magic power to stimulate your nerve endings, it won't have any effect on your body, she was also doing it for your own good. You should know that as cultivators of the truth, having a calm and composed heart is very important. Alright, quickly take this Qingxin Dan, it will be beneficial for you." As she spoke, she handed the white dan bead to Hailong's face.
Hai Long shook his head and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "No need, Master. I'm just a low-ranking disciple of the Lianyun Sect. Don't waste your precious elixir on me. I think I'll be fine after a short rest." Hai Long's words seemed to come from the heart, but even with their cultivation, neither Piaoyou Daozun nor Zhi Shui Daozun could sense his true thoughts. However, Piaoyou Daozun clearly felt that Hai Long had distanced himself, and he was now wrapped in a thick layer of protection, making it impossible to discern his inner thoughts.
"Master sister, how could you give him the Qingxin pill to eat? That's a spiritual elixir that can even make an idiot become intelligent. If you have more, it would be better to give them to me instead. Look, he's being obedient now. In the future, he'll definitely cause us less trouble."
The Floating Void Daoist reluctantly retrieved the Qingxin pill and sighed softly: "Master sister, he's still a child, why must you... never mind, continue telling him about other sects' affairs. I'll manipulate the Azure Cloud to hurry along and try to arrive at the Fanxin Sect as soon as possible."
Zhi Shui Dao Zun nodded his head, and with a wave of his right hand, a thick warm energy surged into Hai Long's body, invigorating him. Hai Long silently stood up, standing beside Zhi Shui Dao Zun, his head bowed in silence. Zhi Shui Dao Zun said with satisfaction: "You look like this now. As long as you can maintain this respectful attitude and follow us, you will naturally have your benefits. I don't have a good impression of Yuan Yue Liu and Wen Tian Liu. They are just as arrogant as Wu Zhao Xian. Wu Zhao Xian is the leader of five experts who have reached the Unfallen Realm, and because of their strong cultivation, they can occupy the first position among the six sects of Zhongyuan. Among the six sects, Qian Hui Gu and Fan Xin Zong have a better relationship with us. Especially Fan Xin Zong, Wu Yun Fo Zun once visited our Lianyun Mountains as a guest, and can be said to be the only one among the six sects of Zhongyuan who knows our true strength. Knowing these is enough for now, and we will introduce more details to you later when there is an opportunity."
"Yes, Master."
"Piaoyu Daozun said, 'Junior sister, you all take a rest for a while, the Azure Cloud has me to support it and that's enough.' Hailong looked up at Piaoyu Daozun with complex emotions in his eyes, responded with a sound, and was about to sit down cross-legged when he suddenly saw a large patch of black fog rising in front of him not far away. He saw it, and naturally Piaoyu Daozun also discovered it, the blue-green light ring on her back lit up, she forcibly controlled the rapidly flying Azure Cloud to stop, and shouted: 'Which evil creature dares to block my way?'"
"Ga, ga, ga, what a beautiful little girl! I didn't expect that after 500 years of not leaving the world, there would be someone with your cultivation in the Xiu Zhen realm who can control clouds. If you are willing to surrender to me, I will take you as my concubine. Otherwise, I will devour your primordial spirit now and make it so that you will never be reborn."
In front of him, a black fog suddenly condensed into shape, and a three-eyed monster floated in mid-air, his feet stepping on a cluster of black fog. The black fog was constantly emitting shrill roars, giving people a feeling of chills down their spines.
The three-eyed monster was over two meters tall, wearing a black long gown, with an extremely robust body, yellow hair and green eyes. His massive aura was constantly pressing down on Xiu Zhen Dao Zun. The most peculiar thing was the eye on his forehead, which was different from his other two green eyes. This third eye was deep purple in color, constantly flashing with a strange glow.
The Daoist master didn't seem to mind the other's words, standing calmly on the blue-green cloud, not retreating in the slightest under the pressure of the other's massive aura. A gentle breeze rustled her long black hair, making it flutter like a celestial being. "I didn't expect to run into you, three-eyed demon, right after leaving the mountain," she said, her voice exceptionally calm and emotionless, like a Buddhist chant. "You seem to have cultivated for a thousand years too. If you leave now, I can show mercy and spare your life. Otherwise, I'll destroy your thousand-year cultivation in an instant." The three-eyed monster was taken aback by her words, his oppressive aura completely suppressed.
Hailong's eyes widened as he stared at the creature in front of him, which could no longer be considered human. He felt a surge of tension and involuntarily thought of activating the star-blue ring on his neck. Zhi Shui Daozun pressed down on Hailong's shoulder and transmitted a message: "You don't need to look at this kind of thousand-year-old demonic creature, just take a glance. This evil being was originally human, but by absorbing dark energy and combining it with demonic energy, it cultivated into a three-eyed demon body. Its cultivation is not bad, but it's still no match for us. If you encounter such an enemy in the future, it's best to run away immediately, because that not only represents a thousand years of cultivation, but also means the opponent has reached at least the same level as Daolong. It's strange, can't this demon see that its own cultivation is no match for Shizhi?"
The three-eyed monster's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he laughed loudly: "Little Taoist nun, don't think that just because you have a thousand years of Taoist practice, you can rival me. I've been cultivating for 500 years, precisely to slaughter you self-proclaimed orthodox cultivators. Since you don't know what's good for you, let me show you my power." His hands merged, and the black mist under his feet suddenly surged, filling the air with a chilling wind that darkened the sky. A three-meter-wide, gray-black evil energy shot out like a solid object, charging straight at the ethereal Taoist master, almost enveloping the entire expanse of the blue-green clouds.
The ethereal Daoist joined his hands together in front of his chest, softly chanting: "Heaven and earth have no bounds, all laws return to their origin, shatter." A blue-green light suddenly burst forth, the halo behind the ethereal Daoist flew out, blocking the blue-green cloud in front. His hands changed through several hand seals, and the blue-green halo instantly expanded to a diameter of three meters. The gray-black evil energy that was charging forward dissolved instantly like ice and snow upon encountering this blue-green halo. The ethereal Daoist smiled slightly, saying: "Even a grain of rice can reveal its luster, with your cultivation do you think you can rival me?"
The evil light suddenly dispersed, and the three-eyed demon looked at the woman in front of him with a shocked expression. His heart was filled with astonishment, wondering how he couldn't see that this cultivator had over a thousand years of cultivation. He had relied on his powerful evil treasures to dare block her path, but his previous attack had almost exhausted all his evil energy. Unexpectedly, it was easily dispelled by the mysterious Daoist. His heart suddenly gained a new understanding of the mysterious Daoist and didn't dare be careless. Letting out a strange cry, he shouted: "Six Harmony Taiyin Taichang Jun, three celestial bodies are the private doors of the earth, also known as the reflection of ten thousand evils, devouring souls and destroying heaven and earth. Stinky girl, look at my treasure, Ten Thousand Evils Taiyin Flag!" A huge black ghost flag suddenly appeared, and countless mournful howls instantly spread throughout the sky. The sky completely darkened, like a black night, with large mouths wildly rushing towards the blue clouds. The protective shield of the blue clouds violently shook, as if it might shatter at any moment.
Hailong was suddenly frightened by the scene, and the mournful sound seemed to pull his soul out of his body. His whole body was cold and hot, and his eyes were filled with illusions. His bones and flesh seemed to be about to explode, and sweat flowed wildly. The sound alone made him almost unbearable. At this moment, a clear stream suddenly surged up from Hailong's spiritual platform, instantly flowing through his whole body, sealing off all six senses. All the pain disappeared along with it. Hailong sat cross-legged on the blue cloud, his vague thoughts allowing that clear stream to drive the remaining spiritual power in his body to operate. He was surprised to find that although he had lost his six senses, he could clearly see every change outside in the depths of his heart.
The Piaoyu Dao Zun suddenly saw the Wanxie Taishan banner and his face changed greatly, shouting: "Good demon, you dare to refine such a evil thing that hurts the harmony of heaven and earth. Today I will not forgive you. Shenxiang Sword, appear!" A green light flashed, and an ordinary-looking long sword appeared in Piaoyu Dao Zun's hand. His beautiful eyes flowed with holy light, and he pointed the sword at the sky, stepped on the seven stars, and recited: "Where the heavenly axe points, there is thunder, and it will be directed to the six Ding. If you understand the middle part of the trick, you will know that creation is born in the palm of your hand. The demon's body follows the direction of the heavenly axe, the axe points to the northeast, its body is in the northwest, what is pointed at is auspicious, and where it is located is ominous." As the spell appeared, blue symbols floated out one by one, pouring into the blue cloud, and the endless evil impact outside was suddenly blocked, unable to shake even a little. When Piaoyu Dao Zun finished reciting the last word "ominous", the previous symbols all became clear, and the Shenxiang Sword suddenly shone with blue light. Piaoyu Dao Zun shouted loudly: "Wanxie demon, transform into a good omen!" The blue light led those symbols filled with the righteous energy of heaven and earth to rise up, completely breaking through the evil in the air and entering the sky.
The three-eyed demon's most reliance was on the newly refined Wàn Xié Tàiyīn Fan, which could rival opponents with a cultivation level half a realm higher than his own. Unfortunately, the enemy he encountered today was too powerful. When countless blue lights burst forth and shattered his Wàn Xié Tàiyīn Fan, he realized something was amiss. Just as he thought of retreating, he clearly felt an enormous amount of heavenly energy enveloping his body and the fan, filling him with fear. The three-eyed demon gathered all his evil powers into the fan, continuously condensing his magic, attempting to fight to the death.
The sea dragon clearly saw that in the three-eyed demon's hand was a black flag as long as two zhang, with swirling black fog on it, and what seemed to be many pale white skulls tumbling about in the fog.
As the three-eyed demon was about to concentrate its energy and launch a piercing attack on the Floating Daoist, a sudden clap of thunder boomed in the sky, causing him to turn pale with fright. He subconsciously looked up at the sky, only to see a dazzling red glow spreading out for hundreds of miles, enveloping him completely. In extreme terror, he exclaimed: "No, no way! This is the Heavenly Thunder of the Divine Night!" His hand grasping the Wanxie Taishan banner was shaking violently, his previous arrogance gone, and his face had turned deathly pale with not a hint of blood color.
"Some book friends commented that Hailong is too arrogant, I hope you can take a closer look at the previous chapter. Firstly, Hailong is an orphan, who would teach an orphan etiquette? In order to survive and grow up, his experiences are much more than ordinary children. The bullying an orphan receives is incomparable to ordinary people, naturally forming his introverted personality. The later chapters will explain this. I hope everyone can patiently read on, thank you."
