Chapter 1205 - 1096: Just the Right Heat
The Shadow of the Thunder Emperor actually dissipated, turning into clouds spreading across the sky.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the venue was enormously shocked!
“What happened, how could the Shadow of the Thunder Emperor scatter like this?!”
“Could it be that the Shadow of the Thunder Emperor is unwilling to accept their worship?”
Everyone was filled with doubts and uncertainty.
Lei Dongyun was also shocked; such an event had never occurred before!
But then, upon reflection, he instantly understood the reason!
“It seems… you remnants of the forebears are truly obstinate!”
He spoke in a deep voice:
“You all dare to harbor disrespectful thoughts towards the Thunder Emperor within the Thunder Emperor’s Pure Land and have blasphemed the Thunder Emperor!”
He felt sure that it must be because Fan Paiming and others harbored hatred, which made the Thunder Emperor unwilling to accept their worship!
Otherwise, why would the Shadow of the Thunder Emperor disperse?
He originally thought by having Fan Yaoyao and others worship the Shadow of the Thunder Emperor and being transformed by the light of the Thunder Emperor, they could become servants of Lei Ting, completely at his mercy, becoming seeds on the Path of Parasitism.
But now it seems… this is not possible; remnants are just remnants.
“Take them down!”
With a stern shout, Lei Xiao and others immediately took action, surrounding Dugu Yuqing and others.
Even the vast Thunder Emperor’s Pure Land felt it, as numerous Heavenly Palaces thundered, with powerful beings lighting up their eyes, observing this place.
“What happened?”
“What is going on?”
“Who has affected the Shadow of the Thunder Emperor?!”
Authoritative voices questioned one after another.
Seeing this, Lei Dongyun was immediately afraid; the dispersing of the Shadow of the Thunder Emperor was a serious matter that had caught the attention of the powers in the Heavenly Palace!
He hastily bowed to those in the Heavenly Palaces, saying:
“Reporting to the lords, it was three remnants of the forebears. We were preparing to make them Heavenly Destined Children, but they harbored disrespect and blasphemed the Great Emperor’s shadow!”
Hearing this, a majestic voice from within a Heavenly Palace erupted:
“Imprison them and punish with ‘Eagle Punishment’ until their disrespectful hearts are changed!”
Hearing this, Lei Dongyun shivered slightly. The lords did not order the execution of these three people?
Rather, they decided to imprison them and punish them with “Eagle Punishment?”
It seems regarding the Path of Parasitism, the lords are thinking far ahead!
After all, these three people are descendants of the forebears and, no matter what, are the most suitable subjects for parasitism, so they must be kept…
“Understood!”
Lei Dongyun bowed and then with a wave of his hand, blue chains appeared and landed on Dugu Yuqing and the others.
These were chains of thunder, instantly binding them.
“Take them to the Thunder Prison, keep them under strict watch!”
Lei Dongyun spoke coldly.
Lei Xiao immediately stepped forward, taking the three away.
“My lord… Ao Wushuang has not yet worshipped the Shadow of the Thunder Emperor…”
At this time, a soldier of the Way of Thunder spoke up to remind.
Lei Dongyun frowned slightly and said:
“The Shadow of the Thunder Emperor can’t reappear for now… no need to worship now, go directly to the Thunder Pond for cleansing first!”
— These Heavenly Destined Children, after entering Lei Ting, must undergo cleansing to confirm they have no flaws before they can be “graced by the descent of the path” by the Thunder Emperor!
The descent of the path, which is the Thunder Emperor manifesting directly and bestowing the seeds of the Way of Thunder to the Heavenly Destined Children in their Path-Scenic Land.
…
Dugu Yuqing and the others were led by Lei Xiao, moving forward on the ground, heading towards the Thunder Path Sky Prison.
Apart from the Heavenly Palaces in the sky, there were many grand buildings on the land, with the children of the Way of Thunder moving in and out, the population counting in the millions.
Finally, they reached the foot of a mountain; at the mountain’s base, there was a secluded and deep cage.
“Hehe, it has been many years since anyone was imprisoned in the Sky Prison…”
Lei Xiao smirked and waved his hand, opening the grand gate of the Sky Prison and locking Dugu Yuqing and the others inside.
“In a way, I’m really looking forward to seeing if you can be tough…”
In Lei Xiao’s eyes, a greedy look appeared!
As long as these people are not selected as Heavenly Destined Children, then… they can be used to make broth.
Perhaps, they might also acquire Divine Skills like the Kunpeng Method!
But, he then shook his head; facing the Eagle Punishment, historically, no one has ever endured it!
“Release the Thunder Eagles!”
He waved his hand, and a soldier activated the mechanism to release the Thunder Eagles.
“Hehe, the Thunder Eagles will slowly devour your essence… enjoy it slowly!”
Lei Xiao sneered coldly, turned around with his men, and left. The Sky Prison never needed guards because not even three Cultivators in the Xi Rang Realm, let alone the strongest ones who have completed the Five Elements Generation stage, could open its gates!
Moreover, the Thunder Eagle was still there.
…
Dugu Yuqing and his companions entered the Sky Prison. The dim and empty environment left them all somewhat puzzled.
“Ancestor, what should we do?”
Fan Paiming looked at Dugu Yuqing.
And Dugu Yuqing seemed quite indifferent and said:
“Let’s first find that Sacred Origin.”
The Sacred Origin that the Thunder Emperor had seized from the Ancestral Pure Land was the foundation of the Way of Thunder. Once we get it, the Pure Land of Thunder will be on the verge of collapse.
Thus, he was indifferent about being imprisoned.
After all, what exactly was inside the Pure Land of Thunder was still unknown, it would be better to explore it first.
“What is that sound?”
Suddenly, Fan Yaoyao exclaimed in surprise.
They looked toward the depths of the Sky Prison, and in the darkness, there was actually a huge cage!
This cage was forged from black mysterious iron, and inside the cage was a giant bald eagle.
This bald eagle was as tall as a man, with electric arcs emanating from its body, and even its feathers were dark blue.
“Thunder Eagle… will this thing devour our essence?”
Fan Paiming spoke in fear.
As the Thunder Eagle approached step by step, a powerful oppressive aura of Thunder also spread, causing the air to crackle with the sound of thunder, making one’s scalp tingle!
Suddenly, the Thunder Eagle let out a soul-stirring low roar. The power of the Way of Thunder pressed down hard, and immediately, both Fan Paiming and Fan Yaoyao felt as if they were struck by lightning, their bodies numb and unable to move!
In contrast, Dugu Yuqing casually let the lightning strike him, but he felt nothing at all!
Soon after, the Path-Scenic Land of Fan Paiming and Fan Yaoyao involuntarily appeared. In their Path-Scenic Land of Nothingness, there were flying sands sweeping through like clusters of pearls!
Those were the earth they had eaten in the village, extraordinarily unique, each grain radiating light.
Seeing this, the Thunder Eagle’s eyes instantly lit up with intensity, it opened its mouth, ready to devour the “Flying Sand” in the Path-Scenic Land of Fan Paiming and others!
If it really were devoured, Fan Paiming and the others would suffer unimaginable pain because the Land of Nothingness is a cultivator’s most mystical place. To be invaded or plundered, the agony could drive cultivators to madness—this is the “Eagle Punishment”!
Seeing this, Dugu Yuqing suddenly stepped forward and said:
“Eating that is boring, come eat me instead…”
After speaking, his Path-Scenic Land naturally manifested.
In his Path-Scenic Land of Nothingness, it appeared like a vast universe, with countless stars emitting bright starlight!
Seeing this scene, the Thunder Eagle was momentarily stunned, then, as if mad, it rushed toward Dugu Yuqing’s Path-Scenic Land!
Its entire body seemed like it was entering Dugu Yuqing’s Path-Scenic Land.
—When reaching the Xi Rang Realm, a Cultivator’s Path-Scenic Land can gradually extend outward, interacting with reality!
Even, letting people and objects from the outside world enter into the Path-Scenic Land.
However, no cultivators would dare to do this generally, firstly, exposing one’s Path-Scenic Land could easily let enemies destroy it.
Secondly, if the Path-Scenic Land hasn’t completed the Five Elements Generation process, even with a foothold, it’s still barren land, incapable of nurturing life. Ordinary people entering another person’s Path-Scenic Land would gradually descend into death.
Now, Dugu Yuqing calmly released his own Path-Scenic Land, letting the Thunder Eagle come in!
The Thunder Eagle crawled into Dugu Yuqing’s Path-Scenic Land, about to devour the stars in the Land of Nothingness.
But, at that moment!
A clear bird call suddenly came from within Dugu Yuqing’s Path-Scenic Land!
A terrifying firebird flew across the Sky Vault, and a streak of golden flame fell instantly!
Seeing this, the Thunder Eagle’s eyes widened in disbelief as it let out a mournful shriek!
The Thunder Eagle was already covered by the Vermilion Bird’s Sacred Fire!
…
It wasn’t long.
Fan Paiming and Fan Yaoyao slowly regained consciousness from their numbness.
“What happened…”
They were a bit puzzled as they had been knocked unconscious by the lightning.
Suddenly, both of them smelled an unusual aroma!
They immediately looked and saw that in front of Dugu Yuqing, there was now a roasted bird with golden-crispy skin and oozing fat, emitting an extremely tempting aroma!
Dugu Yuqing took out many spices and seasonings from his Path-Scenic Land, such as cumin and chili powder, scattering them while commenting:
“Mmm, the doneness this time is not bad… just right.”
Fan Paiming and Fan Yaoyao, seeing this scene, were immediately dumbstruck.
This… what is this situation!?
…
Good night
