Chapter 256 - 243: Qingyun, have you contacted the master?
The commotion under the locust tree in the courtyard drew out the incense guests who were offering incense in the Three Purities Palace.
They looked up at the sky, where the sun was blocked by the thick despairing dark clouds, feeling their hearts tremble with fear.
At this very moment.
zzz-
Boom!
A thunderbolt as thick as a water bucket struck down at the Taoist temple’s inner courtyard.
The tremendous noise made everyone’s eardrums tremble, leaving them feeling dizzy. Some of the weaker ones even fell to the ground on the spot.
“Fellow laymen… hurry and follow me into the Three Purities Palace!”
During this gap.
Two young Taoist priests walked among the crowd, calling out to the people.
Their Daoist names were Xuanming and Xuanjing, who happened to graduate with Xuanqing back then.
Since they were among the earliest ones to pledge allegiance to Xuanqing, their positions naturally rose, moving to famous mountains and temples.
The crowd, as if waking from a dream, followed the two young Taoist priests into the Three Purities Palace.
Under the effects of the Serenity Jade Talisman and the Solidifying Sound Jade Talisman, the incense guests, who were initially scared to the point of their souls nearly scattering, finally calmed down.
Xuanming and Xuanjing, however, now found themselves outside.
They stared at the dark clouds in the sky, which gathered again to unleash thunderbolts striking down towards the inner courtyard, the frenzy of longing gleaming in their eyes.
“Would never have thought that the palace lord who graduated with us back then is now undergoing a calamity. Could it be that he’s about to become immortal?”
“Yeah, with a commotion like this, even if it isn’t the calamity of becoming immortal, I’m afraid he’s practicing some extraordinary divine power.”
Longing filled the words of the two Taoist priests.
Especially now that they had access to the Shenxiao Visualization Technique, their desires for cultivation became even stronger.
Not to mention the counterattack of Heaven and Earth Will and the shock it caused to the outside world.
In the inner courtyard of the Taoist temple.
Xuanqing was still sitting cross-legged with his eyes tightly closed.
Under the immense power of the thunderbolts, a large hole the size of a water bucket had appeared in the roof.
Boom-
Boom boom-
Thunderbolts struck down one after another, following the large hole in the roof and directly hitting Xuanqing’s physical body.
However.
These thick thunderbolts didn’t hurt Xuanqing at all, not even damaging the robes on his body.
Flawless Golden Immortal… with essence, Qi, and spirit fused as one, there were no gaps. Let alone thunderbolts, even the solar wind released by the sun’s nuclear explosion is unable to harm it.
In fact.
This scene had already played out once before when the unenlightened Heaven and Earth Will had attempted to strike him.
It’s only a pity… that while the Heaven and Earth Will now possesses intelligence, it is not much and naively employs thunderbolts, trying to kill Xuanqing, the one at the root of all this trouble.
It is worth mentioning that.
Amid such commotion.
Xuanqing, who was in the Game World, was naturally aware of what was happening, but faced with an attack that couldn’t even be counted as tickling; he didn’t even care to pay it any attention.
Game World.
Black Wind Mountain.
A pile of gold bricks stacked on a golden mountain.
Xuanqing looked solemn.
He was fully focused on gathering the power of ‘Golden Qi Chaoyuan’.
[Warm Reminder: Your physical body in the Real World is under attack by a thunderbolt. Do you want to quit the game?]
A prompt sounded in his mind.
Struck by a thunderbolt?
Xuanqing was slightly taken aback, almost failing to gather Chaoyuan Power. He quickly gathered his thoughts and focused his attention on continuing to practice.
Calm down, and then it is barely divided.
In his heart, he murmured:
“Check the extent of damage to my physical body in the Real World!”
[Checking… The damage is… 0]
Speechless.
Xuanqing was utterly speechless.
His physical body was sitting cross-legged in the inner courtyard, and even under these circumstances, it was struck by lightning. He could guess that it must have been the Heaven and Earth Will causing more mischief.
You know… You can’t even break through my defenses; what’s the point of messing around with me?
Of course.
Xuanqing also knew.
The Heaven and Earth Will has no intelligence, so it’s nothing more than a set of rules for operating heaven and earth, just like the sun rising from the east and setting in the west, and rivers flowing to the lowest points.
As for the reason why he was struck by lightning, there’s no need to think about it. It must have been because in the Real World, the opening of the path of cultivation was in conflict with the rules of the Real World, causing the Heaven and Earth Will to automatically backlash.
“Continue practicing!”
He withdrew his separated thoughts.
Xuanqing continued his cultivation practice.
Anyway, with his Flawless Golden Immortal physical body, even if Water Blue Star was destroyed, there would be no problems with his physical body.
Real World.
After the failed lightning strike.
Heaven and Earth Will, however, did not despair or give up, or perhaps its weak intelligence did not understand what despair was, only knowing to operate according to the laws of heaven and earth.
Turning on its gravitational force.
Humm-
Water Blue Star emitted a peculiar wave.
If one were to zoom out and stand in the universe, looking at Water Blue Star, they would find that the space around it slightly collapsing, emitting an enormous gravitational force.
This is… trying to catch meteorites for another round of raining meteorites!
However.
A sad event took place.
The Heaven and Earth Will had exerted all its efforts to use its gravitational pull to catch meteorites surrounding Water Blue Star but caught nothing.
Empty and desolate-
All the meteorites around Water Blue Star and its moon, small as fists and large as mountains, had already been cleared by Xuanqing.
Wanting to rely on gravitational force to catch meteorites?
Not a chance!
As for manipulating gravity to cause destruction within Water Blue Star… that’s even more impossible, much like humans being unable to control their cells to commit suicide..
