Chapter 62: The Lightning
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Whoosh!
The wind blew while dark clouds formed on top of the Myriad Spirit Garden.
It was already dusk, and the sky was dark.
After the dark cloud was formed, everything else became darker too. Soon, darkness enveloped the ground, depriving it of any form of light, and a depressing atmosphere encompassed a radius of hundreds of miles around the Myriad Spirit Garden.
All demons were shivering in fear as they sensed supreme pressure originating from Myriad Spirit Garden, the mountains roared, towering trees shook, and patches of grass and trees danced like waves.
The wind was howling like a dragon and tiger that shook the entire world.
Then, the sky changed again—a lightning bolt thundered, and light reappeared again!
The silver lightning was like a dragon cutting through the dark clouds. It tore the darkness and the dark clouds surrounding them. It was the brightest thing on earth with beautiful light.
After the sighting of lightning, the thunder rumbled again.
Kacha!
It was so loud that everyone felt that the thunder struck beside their ears.
Then, more lightning bolts condensed in the sky, and their shapes were changing very fast.
Thousands of these lightning bolts weaved together and formed a larger silver net.
After a while, the silver lightning formed a White Tiger!
On the other side of the cloud, a turquoise lightning bolt was striking through the clouds as well. The turquoise lightning bolt was moving from side to side forcefully, just like a dragon!
Both the ‘tiger’ and ‘dragon’ appeared on top of the Myriad Spirit Garden. It seemed that they were going to collide with each other soon.
...
The weird phenomenon had caught everyone’s attention.
Shopkeeper Song stopped what he was doing.
Zhang Yunxi saw Shen Tian standing by the window quietly.
His white robe was flapping from the strong wind as he stood still and looked at the lightning calmly.
For a moment, the Saintess from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was stunned.
Zhang Yunxi felt that she had wronged Shen Tian. How could someone this handsome be a liar?
At the same time, Zhang Yunxi looked at the constantly changing lightning bolts and the Spider Ore. She believed that there was some connection between them.
Zhang Yunxi found her idea to be funny, how could an ore affect the weather? Nonetheless, she could not eliminate her peculiar speculation.
Zhang Yunxi took a deep breath and walked toward Shen Tian.
“Mr. Shen, the shopkeeper is about to finish cutting the Spider Ore. Why are you not looking?”
Shen Tian smiled and looked at Shopkeeper Song working on the Spider Ore. “I already knew the result when I chose this ore,” he calmly said.
Shen Tian pointed at the turquoise lightning dragon and the silver lightning tiger in the sky.
He smiled and said, “Fairy Zhang, look. The lightning dragon and tiger are mixing together now.”
Indeed, the lightning beasts tangled together in the sky. As they continued to mix together, a brand new golden arc of lightning appeared.
The golden lightning stood out in the dark clouds, and it looked very dignified.
The darkened sky was torn apart by the constantly spawning golden lightning. The turquoise and silver bolts of lightning continued to mix, and more golden arcs appeared. Eventually, all of the lightning was golden in color.
In the end, it formed a picture of a golden Tai Chi diagram in the sky. The golden lightning arcs jumped around in the Tai Chi diagram.
It was very bright in the dark sky, just like the sun shining on earth. It chased away the darkness and purified evils.
Everyone was staring in the sky, admiring the Tai Chi diagram.
They knew that something big was going to happen.
Something really, really big!
Suddenly, a bolt of golden lightning jumped out of the diagram and struck the ground!
Its light was blinding, and its speed was extremely fast.
Boom!
The lightning landed on Sky Spirit Pavilion, forming a huge hole on its roof, and went straight for the Spider Ore.
It curled itself on the ore and radiated a golden light. It was so bright that everyone in the Sky Spirit Pavilion had to close their eyes.
Suddenly, Shen Tian felt power rushing in him, and it spread throughout his body. Although his body was slightly numb, he liked the feeling.
After a few seconds, the light finally dimmed.
Everyone slowly opened their eyes and looked at the Spider Ore.
However, it was nowhere to be seen as a ball of golden light, enshrouding two jade pendants, stood in its place now. One of them was grayish turquoise in color and had an azure dragon carved on it. The other was white in color and had a white tiger on it.
The two jade pendants were connected like a Tai Chi trigram.
The Azure Dragon Pendant was surrounded by turquoise lightning, while the White Tiger Pendant was surrounded by silver lightning.
The pendants spun in the air and absorbed the remaining golden lightning.
Everyone looked at them with respect, as though they were their Creator.
Shopkeeper Song was still holding on to his equipment, but he was lying beside the pendants. His face was covered in soot, his hair was standing up, and billows of smoke emanated from his body.
Yes, he had still been working on the ore when the lightning hit it! He had received the full impact of the lightning strike, and that was the most excruciating pain he had ever experienced!
Even Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao were terrified by what they saw.
Although Zhang Yunxi kept her usual cool and looked at the pendants blankly, her body was shivering uncontrollably, while her lips were already dried.
She was astounded!
Is this... the legendary Divine Firmament Drager Pendant!?
She almost fainted when the thought occurred to her.
Surprised, she was very surprised!
No one knew how important this pair of pendants was to Zhang Yunxi or the entire Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
They were a priceless treasure!
