Chapter 1209 - 1100 Divine Origin Source?
Thunder Path Pure Land, within a colossal palace.
“The Thunder Liquid has been fully digested. Now, you can adapt to the power of the Way of Thunder.”
Lei Dongyun looked at Ao Wushuang and a group of Heavenly Destined Children, and spoke:
“Please enter the pond!”
Immediately, all the Heavenly Destined Children entered into the Thunder Pond.
Suddenly, the force of the Way of Thunder within the Thunder Pond started boiling over.
“It’s so prickly!”
“Electric currents are coursing through my entire body!”
“This sensation… this is the sensation!”
For a moment, all the Heavenly Destined Children let out cries of exhilaration.
However, right after that, the power of thunder and lightning erupted, and many began to wail in pain.
“No!”
“Enough…!”
“I really can’t take it anymore!”
Despite having ingested the Thunder Liquid, the current thunder and lightning still caused immense suffering for many.
Even one or two people fell unconscious and fainted from the electric shocks.
Yet, Ao Wushuang was somewhat puzzled…
How come… I don’t feel anything at all?
Those forces of thunder and lightning even entered his Path-Scenic Land, but they just turned into nothingness instantly.
Inside his Path-Scenic Land, there now was a bizarre Ancient Lamp burning with the Flame of Darkness, a Nine Layers Black Tower, five statues identical to himself, and the eerie aura from the Land of Nothingness!
It was truly a hodgepodge…
After the thunder and lightning entered, they simply vanished, causing no ripples whatsoever.
But seeing everyone else howling, he thought it over and decided to howl along!
To avoid raising suspicion!
“Ow… uuuh… it hurts… it really hurts!”
His act of howling was utterly hollow!
…
After a long, long time.
Lightning began to flicker on most people’s bodies!
“Purification complete, prepare… for the Descent of the Path!”
Lei Dongyun spoke:
“Please… Thunder Emperor!”
These Heavenly Destined Children have been cleansed by the Thunder Pond; next, they are ready for the Thunder Emperor to implant the Parasitic Method!
…
Thunder Tao Mountain.
“Thunder Dao Lava… this, is this supposed to be the material needed for the Divine Fire Realm?”
Fan Paiming and the others discovered a huge fissure with an extremely wild and burning hot aura. In it, there flowed blue lava, looking incredibly mystical.
Fan Paiming charged right in, emptying all the lava!
After emptying the lava, they got closer to the peak, and then they found a staircase forged from Divine Metal!
Fan Paiming dismantled it as he ascended, leaving nothing behind!
Dugu Yuqing, witnessing Fan Paiming’s actions, had already become numb to it.
A bandit!
This Fan Paiming, a blatant bandit indeed.
Any good thing in this mountain, he dug right through!
Fan Yaoyao followed along with Fan Paiming, sweating profusely on her tiny face.
“Ancestor, we’re nearly at the summit, but it seems we haven’t found the Ancestral Holy Source…”
Fan Yaoyao spoke.
Though they had dug up many things along the way, none was the Ancestral Holy Source!
Far from reaching that level.
Yet Dugu Yuqing suddenly looked up towards the summit and said:
“Found it.”
He had sensed it; the Ancestral Holy Source… must be at the peak.
Without delay, the three of them hurried to the summit. Upon reaching the top, they caught sight of a terrifying Thunder Pond!
Within this Thunder Pond flowed the fearsome aura of the Sacred Origin Qi. Though it wasn’t as abundant as the small mountain village’s, it was still astonishing and extraordinary.
Above the Thunder Pond, there soared a horrifying flock of Thunderbirds, gliding through the pond. With every flap of their wings, the force of the Way of Thunder surged chaotically, causing the void to tremble, as if they could bring about the end of the world!
Among those Thunderbirds, the most terrifying one, massive as an elephant, used the Sacred Origin Qi as its nest. It lay in this nest, its wings covering the nest, obscuring the sky and sun.
“These… these Thunderbirds… incredibly horrific!”
Fan Paiming exclaimed in shock.
Any one of these Thunderbirds… had reached a Realm beyond their perception!
Much higher than the Breath Soil Realm!
Inconceivable!
Even Dugu Yuqing narrowed his eyes a bit.
This is going to be difficult…
His level of cultivation was far too inferior compared to these Thunderbirds.
Even the Vermilion Bird in the Path-Scenic Land has not fully grown… It probably wouldn’t be able to overcome these Thunderbirds.
And these Thunderbirds, perched atop the entire Thunder Pond, to take the Ancestral Holy Source from within the Thunder Pond, one must deal with these Thunderbirds…
“Hoo hoo–“
At this moment, the terrifying group of Thunderbirds had also noticed the trio and flew in front of them, raising a series of terrifying whirlwinds.
If it weren’t for the trio holding an oiled paper umbrella, just the wind brought up by their flapping wings could annihilate them!
“Caw–“
A Thunderbird as big as an ox flew over to them, looked at them, and suddenly spoke human language, asking doubtfully:
“Why has my elder brother not come?”
At these words, both Fan Paiming and Fan Yaoyao were somewhat bewildered.
What elder brother?
This Thunderbird can actually talk… It’s become a spirit.
However, Dugu Yuqing remained unfazed and casually said:
“There is an honored guest at the Waterway Imperial Court, your elder brother is too busy, so he sent us.”
The Thunderbird nodded its head, looked at the trio’s oiled paper umbrella, and said:
“This oiled paper umbrella is terrifyingly powerful… Could it be a relic left by the Forebears? It can even withstand the thunderous forces here, impressive!”
Dugu Yuqing nodded and said:
“Indeed.”
Admiration filled the Thunderbird’s eyes as it said:
“It seems my elder brother has unearthed some ancient Forebears’ site? Have any of the Great Emperors made a move? Was my brother injured?”
As it spoke, there was a hint of worry in the bird’s eyes.
Upon hearing this, the trio were inwardly shaken.
What does this Thunderbird mean?
Its elder brother… can be compared to a Great Emperor?
Could it be…
A thought began to rise in their minds…
“No, the other Great Emperors haven’t discovered that site.”
Dugu Yuqing kept his composure.
The Thunderbird, hearing this, was even more delighted and exclaimed:
“Good, good, good! I’m fortunate they haven’t discovered it, for even though my brother is the Thunder Emperor, having ascended to the path later compared to those ancient emperors, he might not have the advantage. A real confrontation could put him at a disadvantage!”
Hearing this, both Fan Paiming and Fan Yaoyao were immediately shocked.
This Thunderbird’s elder brother… is actually the…
Thunder Emperor?!
This, directly, made their scalps go numb!
Is the Thunder Emperor not a person, but a bird instead?
“The legend of our ancestors turns out to be true… At the creation of the world by the Forebears, in order to formulate the seasons, they created some Thunderbirds to act as natural thunder…”
Fan Paiming remembered this legend!
“My brother sent you here; is there something you need?”
The Thunderbird asked excitedly:
“Did you make some discoveries in the Forebears’ site that need to be shared with us?”
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yuqing said:
“Uh… Yes.”
Now, they seemed to have no choice but to brazen it out.
“What is it?”
The Thunderbird asked even more eagerly:
“Let me guess, what my brother is sending over… should it be some Divine Origin Source?”
Because as Thunderbirds, they have no need for other treasures, such as Divine Metal.
Dugu Yuqing felt he was about to be exposed… His face remained calm, but inside he was panicking, and said:
“Yes… It’s the Divine Origin Source.”
The Thunderbird said:
“Quickly take it out, let me see it!”
Dugu Yuqing paused for a moment, at this instant, where could he possibly fetch any Divine Origin Source from…
This is a disaster…
Beside him, both Fan Paiming and Fan Yaoyao had sweaty palms and their hearts were pounding uncontrollably!
Just at this critical moment, suddenly, Dugu Yuqing had an idea!
No more hesitation, it’s do or die now, treating the dead horse as if it were alive!
Gritting his teeth, he then took out some bottles and jars and said:
“This… This is what the Thunder Emperor has instructed us to bring!”
And Fan Paiming and Fan Yaoyao, seeing this, were instantly shocked, their hearts practically leaping out of their chests!
Because what Dugu Yuqing brought out was actually…
Chili powder? Sichuan pepper powder? Cumin????
What kind of a joke is this…
…
Good night
