Chapter 524: Chapter 419 Flawless (climax, asking for monthly ticket) _1

As Monk Jiudeng and Huaibi debated, atop Jiugong Mountain, a multitude of demon cultivators hovered two thousand feet above the ground, casting spells amidst the clouds.

For nearly two hours, Master Shenchen followed Li Xuan’s instructions, guiding everyone to scatter countless ice nuclei in all directions, covering an area as large as fifteen hundred miles. Even distant locations like Jingzhou, a thousand miles away, and Zhijiang, fifteen hundred miles away, were reached by the ice nuclei.

They first created the ice cores and then transported them to locations a thousand and five hundred miles away, wrapped in Mana.

Master Shenchen realized that they were far from being the only ones. Numerous Buddhist and Daoist sanctuaries, including Jun Mountain of Dongting Lake, Heng Mountain of the South, Qingcheng in Sichuan, and Emei, also had monks and taoists spreading ice cores in a mass scale amongst the clouds.

The stationed personnel from dragon courts in the surrounding areas were also striving to whip up fierce winds in the clouds in order to drive clouds southward.

"Brother Shenchen, have you noticed?"

After nearly two hours, Xuanfei, the Palace Master of Jade Pure Palace, looked distantly with a strange expression in his eyes, "These ice cores, they are absorbing water vapor."

Master Shenchen had noticed this long ago; the ice cores they released absorbed a great deal of water energy in the clouds. This resulted in the area around Jiugong Mountain being shrouded by dark clouds, but the downpour had already ceased.

Master Shenchen even observed the reasons behind this, a peculiar look in his eyes, "I noticed it long ago! The more ice cores there are, the more water vapor they absorb. Interesting! This Earl Jingan, he truly is a genius."

He found that those water droplets were originally condensed around the dust particles floating above the clouds. When these water droplets reached a certain weight, they would fall from the clouds.

But now they have released a huge amount of ice cores the size of dust particles, each absorbing water vapor from the air. This caused the number of water droplets in the clouds to increase, but the weight of the individual droplets decreased, failing to meet the conditions for falling from the sky.

However, Master Shenchen had never heard of such a method of accumulating rain clouds before.

"However, this method can only delay the time of rainfall. By my estimate, it can only last for three days at most. After three days, the intensity of storms in this area will increase threefold."

Xuanfei mused, "It seems that in the north, in Henan, there are people performing rainmaking spells. Many rain clouds are leaking water vapor from the north, which can reduce the water vapor concentration in Huguang by almost twenty percent."

Upon hearing this, Master Shenchen chuckled, "Can’t delaying the rain for three days and reducing the water vapor by twenty percent be enough? At least within these three days, Xiangyue’s power will not grow, but will even plummet drastically."

Master Shenchen looked into the distance in the direction of Li Xuan, "I think his plan is mostly to slay Xiangyue within these three days! If he can seal Wu Zhiqi and kill Bashe Changze, he certainly has the ability to slay Xiangyue."

He already knew about Li Xuan’s slaying of Chang Ze in the upstream of the Jinsha River, which both shocked and deeply impressed him.

"——Anyway, let’s wait and see!"

※※※※

On the Yichang battlefield, it wasn’t just Huaibi and Jiudeng who realized that the local moisture was gradually thinning. As a Dragon King, Ao Shuying is particularly sensitive to water vapor. She first stretched out her hand, caught a falling raindrop, and then looked at the sky in astonishment.

A moment later, Ao Shuying looked at the man and the snake fighting fiercely on the river, her eyes filled with excitement.

Li Xuan didn’t lie. He indeed had a way to disperse some of the water vapor here. The result was even delighting—Xiangyue’s power seemed to have stopped growing for quite some time, and the water level of the Yangtze River appeared to have fallen by a foot.

Li Xuan also sensed the change and felt a hint of joy in his heart.

The modern artificial precipitation reduction technology depends on two methods. One is to carry out artificial rainfall operation on the windward side of the target area, so the rain falls ahead of time. The other method is to massively scatter ice cores in the cloud layer, increasing the concentration of ice cores to three to five times the normal precipitation level. The greater the number of ice cores, the less water each absorbs, failing to form large enough raindrops. Simply put, it holds back the rain.

Li Xuan did not hold much hope initially. After all, this is a world where magical powers are prevalent, and it cannot be measured by common sense.

And the modern technology of artificial rainfall reduction could only ensure a small area to be rainless for a short period.

So, he was just intending to reduce the water force as much as possible. But this rainfall dispersion effort was surprisingly effective, far beyond Li Xuan’s expectations.

"Boom!"

As Li Xuan’s blade once again clashed with Xiangyue’s snakehead, Li Xuan’s body was once again pushed back dozens of feet on the river surface.

However, he was not panicked but delighted because Xiangyue’s power and Wuyi had clearly decreased significantly this time.

Each of their previous encounters resulted in his arms turning into a blood mist, including his shoulder blades. But this time, only his right hand was turned into powder, his arm bones were broken, and he could maintain the stability of his body shape while being pushed back, instead of being completely uncontrollable like before.

As Lv Qiluo’s green luminescence flowed into Li Xuan’s right arm, it was restored to its original state in an instant, and the recovery rate was much faster than before.

"How long can a mere mortal of the Third Door last!" Xiangyue’s body charged towards Li Xuan again, each snake head wrapped in different kinds of force.

At the same time, Li Xuan could feel the water in his body being manipulated by the other party and showed signs of boiling and turbulence, almost getting out of control.
