Chapter 166: Chapter 165 Win People Over with Virtue_1

Master Lu erupted in rage, soared into the sky, and transformed into a long rainbow that chased after the quarry in an instant. Focusing his gaze, Master Lu was dumbfounded...

"Rabbit! Is it you?" Master Lu exclaimed as he looked down at the plump rabbit below.

However, the rabbit did not stop, but continued gnawing on an old tree!

Master Lu frowned and reached out to grab it!

Just then, strands of golden light burst forth from within the rabbit, and following a roar from the rabbit, its entire body shimmered with brilliant gold as if it had been cast in gold itself! The whole world was transfixed as the rabbit shone like a golden sun!

Suddenly, there was a tremendous sound in the sky, and dark clouds converged!

Seeing this, a flicker of surprise crossed Master Lu’s eyes, "Heavenly retribution? How is that possible? Where would the Heavenly Court get heavenly retribution from?"

Master Lu hastily retreated and set up layer upon layer of prohibitions, sealing off all directions!

Then there was a series of booms...

Bolt after bolt of lightning struck the golden rabbit. Strangely, none of them exploded upon contact; instead, the space around the rabbit twisted before turning into tiny chains that burrowed into its body.

Master Lu’s brow furrowed, "How peculiar!"

The heavenly retribution was magnificent, startling all the disciples in the Divine Wood Valley who rushed over. Upon seeing this scene, they were all taken aback!

Lu Er cried out in alarm, "What... what’s happening?"

Lu Yi said, "My god, the ground... where’s the tree?"

"Why did you two not keep an eye on this rabbit? What have you been doing?!" Master Lu glared at them furiously.

The two of them shivered with fright and honestly explained their thoughts from the day before.

Upon hearing their words, Master Lu’s lips trembled with rage, but eventually, he shook his head and said, "Let it be, such is fate... alas..."

"Master, what’s wrong with the rabbit? Why is it undergoing heavenly tribulation?"

"Master, is the rabbit becoming an immortal? But there shouldn’t be heavenly tribulation in the Immortal Realm, right? No god from the Thunder Department would rain down lightning in the Immortal Realm at random, would they?"

The two disciples asked, puzzled.

Master Lu shook his head, "All the lightning under heaven falls under the jurisdiction of the Thunder Department gods. The Thunder Punishment Heavenly Monarch oversees the lightning punishments of the world, and the Thunder Tribulation Heavenly Monarch oversees the tribulations of mortals becoming immortals, but they would definitely not dare to cause heavenly tribulation within the Heavenly Court."

"If they’re not responsible, then who is?" Lu Yi asked in surprise.

Master Lu shook his head; he did not know.

Lightning is under the jurisdiction of the Thunder Department, so if heavenly tribulation appeared and wasn’t caused by the Thunder Department gods, who would believe it?

But he was even more incredulous that the Thunder Department gods would take the risk of violating heavenly laws to strike a rabbit... He did not know whether the rabbit would live or die, but he was sure that whoever released the lightning would be doomed!

He remained silent, looking up at the sky and squinting his eyes, his Divine Eyes seemingly trying to see through the tribulation clouds. Unfortunately, the swirling dark clouds and the protection of some peculiar force made it impossible for Master Lu to see through them. Eventually, he shook his head and said, "I don’t know... but there is something fishy about this. Today’s events must not be spoken of to the outside, no one is allowed to do so!"

"Yes!" Lu Yi and Lu Er accepted the orders and passed them down.

Master Lu watched the golden rabbit on the ground, and the words of the Wenqu Star Monarch when he had left the Lingxiao Hall came to mind.

"You can take the rabbit; I don’t mind that," the Wenqu Star Monarch had said, "but I must remind you, teach it some harmless magic if you will, but do not teach it any cultivation methods or destructive spells, remember! Remember!"

At that time, Master Lu did not understand the Wenqu Star Monarch’s meaning, taking it simply as a warning that the rabbit was capable of causing trouble, but now, he began to understand...

What he did not understand, however, was where the rabbit had learned its cultivation methods? He hadn’t taught it anything!

Meanwhile, on the moon, Wu Gang put down his axe, looked towards the direction of the Heavenly Court, and his eyes gradually fogged over with a layer of white mist. When the mist dispersed, a clear image of the rabbit undergoing tribulation in the Divine Wood Valley appeared.

Just as everyone was pondering how this rabbit managed to cultivate, the rabbit itself was about to burst with laughter...

"Wahaha... I’ve finally made a breakthrough! I’ve made it through at last!" Qin Shou was ecstatic in his heart, not because his Eight-Nine Empyrean Art had advanced to the next level, but because he was thrilled to have finally found the correct method of cultivation! As long as he could break through and cultivate, he was happy!

At the same time, Qin Shou saw the Heavenly Tribulation thunderbolt descend, only to be directly absorbed by his body, transforming into surging Yuan Qi that entered his body, nourishing every cell and stimulating the flesh which had been strengthened by the Eight-Nine Empyrean Art. His physical body clearly became even more resilient.

Seeing this, he laughed even more joyfully, standing tall and laughing heartily with his head thrown back!

But the next moment, he was shocked to discover that his body couldn’t move!

His body’s golden light grew more and more brilliant, as if he had turned to solid gold!

On closer inspection, it wasn’t because of the golden light, but because of those thunders he had absorbed!

These thunders, after entering his body, weren’t fully digested. Some intertwined to form a series of chains, wrapping around his body internally and binding it!

"What the hell is this thing?" Qin Shou exclaimed in his mind.

Meanwhile, the clouds in the sky grew darker and darker, with bolts of thunder moving through them. The rolling thunder coalesced into chains of lightning, which, with a loud boom, descended straight towards Qin Shou!

Seeing this, Master Lu was also taken aback.

Lu Yi exclaimed, "Thunder chains? Is god trying to restrain this rabbit, not wishing for its advancement?"

Indeed, those chains were different from regular bolts of lightning. Instead of striking Qin Shou, they wrapped around him like real chains, binding him!

At the same time, Qin Shou was horrified to discover that his just-advanced physical body was slowly regressing, and his Eight-Nine Empyrean Art was actually descending back to Level Three!

At that moment, a passage from the Eight-Nine Empyrean Art came to Qin Shou’s mind: "Eight-Nine of seventy-two, Level Three is Level One Heaven, one Heaven one realm, one step one mortal dust!"

Qin Shou hadn’t understood what this meant before, but now he did. The Level Three of the Eight-Nine Profound Art was a severe cut. If he crossed it, there would be a difference between Heaven and mortal. If he couldn’t cross it, he would fall back to the mortal dust!

He was about to cross, but someone wouldn’t allow it!

Qin Shou couldn’t accept this. He had finally been on the verge of a breakthrough, and now he was being suppressed? Unacceptable!

Qin Shou roared in his heart, screaming, "Why? Why must I always be the idiot rabbit? No matter who you are, I refuse to accept this!"

"If you refuse to accept it, eat it up!"

Just then, a voice rang out in Qin Shou’s mind, a voice that sounded familiar. It suddenly occurred to him—this was the voice of the rabbit who fished for stars in his dreams!

"But how? I can’t even move!" Qin Shou cried out internally.

"Master, what do we do? Brother seems to be in trouble," Lu Er asked.

Master Lu furrowed his brow and declared, "This is Divine Wood Valley, this is my disciple. Who the hell dares to mess with him?"

As he spoke, Master Lu shrugged off his robe, revealing his muscled upper body, and looked up to the sky, shouting loudly, "Whoever you are, dare to mess with my disciple, you’re courting death! Watch how I conquer with morality!"

Then Qin Shou saw Master Lu soar into the sky with a wave of his hand and, with a thunderous boom, Qin Shou witnessed the Divine Wood Hall rising into the air, standing erect. He finally saw the full appearance of the Divine Wood Hall—was this what you call a wooden post? It was the handle of an ax!

Qin Shou finally understood what Master Lu meant by the phoenix perch wood; this guy didn’t just take a section, he uprooted the whole thing to use as his ax handle!

The reason he didn’t reside in the Divine Wood Hall was that it was merely a small part of the ax handle sticking out of the ground...

But what truly left Qin Shou speechless was the fact that there was a big character on Master Lu’s ax—Morality!

Qin Shou’s eyes rolled back as he thought to himself, "Oh come on, is this conquering with morality? This is hacking with morality! Damn, that’s intimidating!"
