MTLNOVEL Chapter 69 After the Event
The crowd finally came to understand that there were so many hidden details behind what was so-called the gods' end of the world. Lu Yu also finally comprehended what had puzzled him for a long time, which was that Nuwa had created humans from clay and was the mother goddess of the human race, who should hold the supreme position.
Yet, there were not many folk offerings to her, whereas all the gods had once been worshipped by humans.
It turned out that Nuwa had voluntarily given up receiving worship from humans in order to seek revenge, she entrusted humans under the protection of the gods, which also sowed the seeds for the extinction of the Dragon Clan.
"Hmph! Those guys have always considered themselves the protagonists of heaven and earth, naturally, they would not want any being to replace them. My sister creating humans from soil was in accord with the heavenly mandate.
Since they made a move against her, they would naturally be despised by heaven and earth," Fuxi said with a curl of his lip, having no fondness for those who once left him for dead.
"Times past are like smoke. The Dragon Clan once dominated, pressured an era, and made all beings prostrate at their feet. Who could have imagined that at their most glorious, they would end in obscurity?" The Great Chun King's mind was still filled with memories of the past, the dragon's tyranny still vivid before his eyes.
"That's because you haven't seen the Ancestral Master's transcendence, otherwise, you would realize that the once powerful Dragon Clan is nothing but clay chickens and pottery dogs before him, incapable of withstanding a single blow," Fuxi retorted.
"Is that so? It seems I've missed quite a lot while I was asleep," the Great Chun King said with a smile.
"Leize once protected my soul and spirit, providing me with an opportunity for reincarnation. This Thunder Seal is the contingency he left for my revival. I must take it with me, but I will not let you leave empty-handed. I will derive Thunder through The Way of the Eight Trigrams now.
How much you comprehend is entirely up to you," Fuxi said as he held the Thunder Seal, speaking to Lu Yu and the others.
Lu Yu and the others quickly agreed. The moment this great figure appeared, they had long extinguished any intention of vying for the Thunder Seal, never expecting such good fortune to occur.
With a mere thought from Fuxi, a huge Eight Trigrams appeared above his head, gradually expanding and soon covering the entire small world.
Within the Eight Trigrams, the Zhen Trigram flickered, inherently representing thunder. Now with the aid of the Thunder Seal, it instantly manifested the thunder of heaven and earth.
Lu Yu dared not be the slightest bit careless and quickly brought out the Enlightenment Tea. Such an opportunity was hard to come by, and only by drinking the tea could he gain the greatest benefit.
"Fellow immortals, if you do not mind, please have a cup each," Lu Yu offered, not being a stingy person, to the several immortals present.
The moment Lu Yu brought out the Enlightenment Tea, Iron-Crutch Li's eyes lit up; the drifting scent of the tea immediately made him recognize it.
"Isn't this the legendary Enlightenment Tea? Was it not said that this tea plant was too defying and incurred the jealousy of the heavens? I never imagined it would end up in Daoist Lu's hands," Iron-Crutch Li exclaimed.
"It's a coincidence of fate that I acquired a withered main branch, which, stimulated by the Innate Wood Qi, bloomed anew with life," Lu Yu said with a smile.
"Good. With this, Lao Lee is bound to reap plenty this time," Iron-Crutch Li poured a cup of tea and drank it down in one go.
"Do not miss this chance; this is Enlightenment Tea that can help one comprehend the Heavenly Dao," Iron-Crutch Li said to everyone.
At that moment, who would care about their pride? Such a treasure was hard to come by on ordinary days, naturally, they wouldn't miss the opportunity due to restraint, and they all stepped forward for tea.
As the tea flowed through them, their minds became clear. Upon witnessing the activation of the Zhen Trigram by the Thunder Seal, it was as if they saw the birth of thunder, witnessing the evolution of all thunder in the world. Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire
The Way of Thunder was fully in sight, and vast amounts of information continuously surged into their minds, deepening everyone's understanding of the Way of Thunder. To them, this realization was far more tangible than acquiring the Thunder Seal, after all, the Thunder Seal was unique, but this enlightenment was something everyone could attain.
The entire Thunder World suddenly became quiet, the originally noisy Blood Beasts and creatures of thunder had all perished in the great battle, and the survivors, including Lu Yu, had long been immersed in the contemplation of the Way of Thunder, with only the sound of thunder flashing in the heavens and earth.
No one knew how much time had passed when the Eight Trigrams phantom in the sky gradually dissipated, and people began to wake from their enlightenment one after another, each with a smile on their face, indicating a fruitful comprehension.
"The Enlightenment Tea truly lives up to its reputation. This fortune is all thanks to Daoist Lu's generosity," Iron-Crutch Li said with a smile.
The Enlightenment Tea was of great help to him, allowing him to enter a state of enlightenment in an extremely short time, ensuring that this opportunity was not wasted.
The others also expressed their thanks, as without Lu Yu's Enlightenment Tea, they might have left empty-handed, unlike now, with their hearts full and satisfied.
"It seems you have all gained something, which is good. Now, I shall take my leave," Fuxi said with a smile as he took back the Thunder Seal and bid farewell to everyone.
"Great Chun King, would you care to join me for a visit to the Fire Cloud Cave?" Fuxi extended a sincere invitation to the Great Chun King.
"Spare me, old man. I'm too lazy to move about," the Great Chun King declined Fuxi's invitation without a second thought.
Fuxi, not disheartened by this response, clasped his hands to the crowd and then vanished from the Thunder World.
"What about you youngsters? If you want to leave, I can open a passage for you and send you on your way," Great Chun King said, his words laced with a hint of mirth.
"Fellow Daoists, this old dragon will take his leave first. Should the opportunity arise in the future, do visit me at Dragon Palace in Qiantang; I will surely host a feast in your honor," Lord Qiantang was the first to declare his departure.
After all, he had experienced so much and witnessed the actions of many exalted beings, and had heard many secrets; the impact on him was immense, and he needed time to properly digest his gains.
The Great Chun King reached out a branch and lightly touched the void, creating a vortex at that spot. Lord Qiantang waved goodbye to everyone and stepped into the vortex, vanishing in an instant.
Following shortly, Dragon Tamer Arhat also expressed his farewells. He brought his palms together and chanted softly, "Amitabha, I am content with what I have gained from this journey. I bid you all farewell. May we meet again if fate allows it."
After speaking, he stepped into the vortex and disappeared from everyone's sight, with Yu Ji and others following suit. Iron-Crutch Li and Han Zhongli also bid farewell, leaving Lu Yu to be the last one.
As he said goodbye to the Great Chun King, prepared to leave, the Great Chun King suddenly said, "Young fellow, your soul is quite interesting!"
Lu Yu's heart tensed up immediately upon hearing these casual words from the venerable elder. What did he mean by that? Could it be that he had discerned the secret of his transference? Yet, he had encountered many of the Three Realms' top powerhouses; none of them had noticed anything.
"It has a special feeling to it, very familiar to me, as if I've seen it somewhere," the Great Chun King seemed to fall into thought.
