Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune: Starting from the Blind Prince

The lightning spear streaked across the sky, accompanied by the cries of a thousand birds.

Violent lightning brewed in the void, resembling a world-destroying spear, possessing an aura capable of piercing through the heavens and the earth.

The lightning spear was released.

It transformed into a streak of light, tearing through the air as it shot forth.

Wherever it passed, the bluestone slabs on the ground were cracked with fine fissures, resembling a spiderweb.

"This won't do… the Qi Gathering Realm can't withstand it."

Caught off guard, He Lianhai hurriedly released his suppressed cultivation.

The aura around his body rapidly increased at a visible rate, instantly returning to the Second Realm and rushing towards the Third Realm.

But it was too late!

In the next moment, the seven-foot spear heavily bombarded the lightning shield.

Boom—

A sound like a great bell reverberated throughout the Wu King's manor.

Two bolts of lightning intertwined, erupting with terrifying fluctuations.

For a moment, the lightning blazed brightly, illuminating the entire courtyard as bright as midday.

"It's thundering!"

The guards, maids, and servants in the manor were all startled by the loud noise.

However, looking up, there were no signs of an impending thunderstorm.

Only Qin Qiulan knew that this terrifying roar was caused by the clash between His Highness and He Lianhai.

With a resounding boom!

The seven-foot lightning spear shattered the lightning shield and shot towards He Lianhai.

He Lianhai's expression drastically changed as he took a half-step back and roared, shattering the lightning spear.

However, the remaining Ren Water True Lightning still struck his right hand.

In an instant, He Lianhai's right hand was charred black.

"Old He, are you alright?"

"Hahaha! This old man is fine, very well, extremely well!"

"Your Highness wants to hurt me? Train for another ten years."

He Lianhai laughed loudly, his laughter full of vigor. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was unharmed.

However, Zhou Haochen clearly saw his right hand, charred black by the Ren Water True Lightning.

"Really alright? Old He, if you're injured, don't force yourself. The manor has many healing treasures," Zhou Haochen continued to ask, feeling a little embarrassed seeing He Lianhai trying to hold on.

After all, He Lianhai had good intentions, but he hadn't controlled his strength well.

He had actually injured He Lianhai.

"Cough cough!"

"Your Highness, rest assured, this old man is fine, there's no injury at all, please don't worry."

He Lianhai's tone was somewhat stiff, and his charred right hand trembled incessantly.

However, he still stood tall, maintaining the appearance of an expert.

Qin Qiulan, standing to the side, softly said, "Your Highness, Old He, he…"

Before Qin Qiulan could finish her sentence, He Lianhai quickly used sound transmission, his words entering Qin Qiulan's ears.

"Little girl, we cultivators should avoid arrogance and impetuosity, and not be conceited."

"Today's matter must not be told to His Highness, lest His Highness become complacent, which is not conducive to His Highness's cultivation."

He Lianhai convinced Qin Qiulan with one sentence.

The second half of her sentence, which she had wanted to say, was swallowed back down.

He Lianhai thought he was being discreet, but he didn't know that Zhou Haochen had long since regained his sight, and his little actions were all visible in Zhou Haochen's eyes.

He almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Old He actually had an arrogant and stubborn side.

"Old He, I seem to smell the scent of burnt barbecue."

"Hahaha—Your Highness, if you hadn't mentioned it, this old man would have forgotten that the barbecue I just grilled is ready."

With that, He Lianhai moved like the wind, drifting away.

"Old He, bring me two skewers of barbecue."

He Lianhai, in mid-air, staggered and almost fell.

……

Hundred Herb Garden.

The commotion from Zhou Haochen and He Lianhai's exchange alarmed the master and servant in the Hundred Herb Garden.

Awakened, Cui Caiwei turned her head to look out the window.

A strong sense of surprise was revealed on her cold profile.

Ren Water True Lightning!

And it was at the Transformation Realm level!

The Five Thunder Sect's Ren Water True Lightning was well-known throughout the Great Yu cultivation world.

Cui Caiwei recognized the origin of the lightning technique at a glance.

After the Five Thunder Sect was destroyed, the thunder technique inheritance scattered.

The Five Elements Thunder Technique was something that many rogue lightning cultivators knew a thing or two about.

But very few could cultivate it to the Transformation Realm.

The maid sleeping on the outer side of the Arhat bed was drowsy and blurry-eyed.

"Miss, is it thundering?"

"It's not thundering, it's Ren Water True Lightning at the Transformation Realm level."

"Transformation Realm? Is it delicious?"

Cui Caiwei: ……

"Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eat."

"Besides eating, what else do you know?"

"Wuwuwu—Miss, don't pinch me, my face is being pinched into a pancake."

"Is Transformation Realm lightning technique very powerful?"

"Of course it's powerful, any thunder technique, when cultivated to the Transformation Realm, has immense power."

"Wu—the young brother in the Wu King's manor is so amazing, he doesn't look even twenty years old, about the same age as you, Miss."

"Not even twenty?"

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ release!

Hearing the other party's age from the maid's mouth, Cui Caiwei's fair face, as cold as a moon palace fairy, revealed a look of utter astonishment.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, Miss, I've secretly peeked several times," the maid muttered.

Cui Caiwei remained silent for a moment, then said softly.

"Not even twenty, cultivating the thunder technique to the Transformation Realm, do you know what people generally call this kind of person?"

"What?"

"A genius of the world!"

……

Ministry of Works.

"Greetings, Sixth Prince, greetings, Fellow Daoist Zhou!"

Mo Sihai cupped his hands and instructed the maid to serve tea to the Sixth Prince and Elder Zhou.

After Jiang Mozhu proposed the method of using Heavenly Lightning to condense the tree heart, Mo Sihai contacted the Divine Firmament Sect.

Elder Zhou happened to be in Yujing City and received the news immediately.

The Sixth Prince wanted to show off in front of Emperor Qian Yuan, and if Elder Zhou could condense the heart of the Earth Mother Divine Tree this time, he would be able to make a splash in front of Emperor Qian Yuan.

Under the Sixth Prince's persuasion, the scene before them unfolded.

After everyone discussed it, Elder Zhou decided to take a look at the Earth Mother Divine Tree himself.

Arriving at the Earth Mother Tree Realm, they saw the Earth Mother Divine Tree, which was now just a lonely stump.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, I'll leave everything to you."

"This poor Daoist will do my best."

"Minister Mo, don't have too much hope. Using Heavenly Lightning to condense the tree heart, this method is too dangerous. This poor Daoist has no confidence at all."

Elder Zhou said as such.

The most important thing about the Heavenly Lightning Technique is to grasp the timing.

Too little, and the tree heart cannot be condensed.

Too much, and the Earth Mother Divine Tree will die.

For the caster, in addition to being proficient in thunder techniques, they must also be proficient in the Book of Changes.

Using the Book of Changes to deduce the best time to cast the spell and the best time to perform the spell, there is only a glimmer of possibility.

Elder Zhou stood still, his ten fingers moving in succession, and began to deduce.

Mo Sihai and the Sixth Prince waited nervously for Elder Zhou's deduction.

The atmosphere in the air was heavy.

A quarter of an hour later.

Suddenly, Elder Zhou's face flushed red, and a touch of crimson surged onto his cheeks.

Pfft—

A mouthful of essence blood spurted out from Elder Zhou's mouth.

His originally ruddy complexion instantly turned pale.

The aura around his body suddenly became listless.

"Cough cough cough—"

Elder Zhou coughed twice and said apologetically.

"This poor Daoist has done my best."

"Alas—"

"Alas—"

Mo Sihai and the Sixth Prince both sighed in unison.

Mo Sihai frowned, his mood sinking to the bottom.

This Elder Zhou was a Tenth Realm thunder technique master of the Divine Firmament Sect, and was among the top thunder cultivators in the entire Great Yu cultivation world.

Even Elder Zhou was unable to do it, so if they wanted to use the Heavenly Lightning Technique to condense the tree heart, they would have to invite an Eleventh Realm or even a Twelfth Realm thunder cultivator.

Elder Zhou adjusted his breathing for a while and slowly said.

"Minister Mo, forgive this poor Daoist for speaking frankly, but if you want to use the Heavenly Lightning Technique to condense the tree heart, in this poor Daoist's opinion, only one person can do it."

"Who?"

"Ninth on the逍遥榜, Ancestor Jingzhe."
