Chapter 404: Chapter 188: The Smug Saint of Thunder_2

"No other way, unless it’s the Heavenly Pillar." The Divine Thunder Venerable declared confidently, but paused in thought and continued, "You steered things off course. Considering your talent, it’s impossible for you to surpass the Holy Mother of Emptiness. Just find more divine treasures, and that should be enough.

Why worry so much?"

"Alas, how can a swallow comprehend the ambition of a swan!" Qi Yuan sighed and didn’t speak further.

He felt that without solving this problem, in the future he could only contemplate deities on the level of the Four Heavenly Kings.

To aim any higher would be impossible.

Now, what he lacks most is the power of a True God.

The level of the Four Heavenly Kings is exactly what he can achieve by breaking through with these treasures.

...

Half a day later, Qi Qi, followed by the maid Xiao Xue, was walking on a country footpath.

Then, an old woman appeared in her sight again.

Qi Qi’s face was filled with surprise as she said to the old woman, "I don’t know you, and I don’t want to leave my godfather to go with you."

At this moment, the old woman extended her hand, which was as gnarled as a piece of wood, "This invitation is for you."

An invitation made of gold fell into Qi Qi’s grasp. The old woman stared at Qi Qi, her eyes becoming cloudy again, "Once you go, there will be nice things...you can also..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the old woman disappeared.

Qi Qi was baffled. She opened the invitation and saw what was written on it, "A hundred flower gathering, what’s this? Is it inviting godfather?"

If there are things she couldn’t understand, she’d seek the Divine Thunder Venerable.

The current Divine Thunder Venerable was viewed as a living god in the village of Greenwater.

Whenever Qi Qi didn’t understand something, she’d seek his guidance.

Even when some villagers’ chickens went missing, they’d ask the Divine Thunder Venerable for help.

In any case, the Divine Thunder Venerable was now extremely popular among the elderly women of the village.

Carrying the invitation, Qi Qi found the Divine Thunder Venerable reclining on his lounge chair. "Venerable, look at this invitation. What’s going on? Is it dangerous?"

The Divine Thunder Venerable accepted the invitation with a surprised expression, "Qi Yuan should not have been invited to the Hundred Flower Gathering."

Seeing his reaction, Qi Qi explained her encounter with the old woman to him.

Upon hearing this, the Divine Thunder Venerable instantly understood, "You have Phoenix Clan’s essence blood in your body. The Phoenix Clan has a close relationship with the North Sea Aquatic Clan. This is normal."

Just then, Qi Yuan walked out of the temple, "What Phoenix essence blood?"

"Phoenix Clan’s essence blood!" The Divine Thunder Venerable announced.

This Qi Yuan, mad and nonsensical, how could he change his goddaughter’s race?

"I’ve heard about this thing before."

"Oh?" The Divine Thunder Venerable became interested, wanting to use this to understand the Origin Venerable’s true identity in ancient times.

"I think I saw a book before that said swallowing Phoenix essence blood brings infinite benefits.

A female cultivator’s bust can even enhance from size C to B." Qi Yuan said.

That’s how it was recorded in the book, from C to B.

The Divine Thunder Venerable felt that it was still impossible to find out about the Origin Venerable’s past.

"Aren’t you short of divine treasures to break through to True God? Well, here’s your chance." Divine Thunder Venerable threw the invitation into Qi Yuan’s hands, "The Hundred Flowers Gathering is held once every hundred years. Inside, there are countless treasures.

There are quite a few treasures that can help one break through to True God. If you can stand out, there will be plenty of treasures."

On hearing this, Qi Yuan’s eyes lit up, "Plenty?"

"Well, it depends on your ability," the Divine Thunder Venerable casually replied.

His knowledge of the Hundred Flower Gathering was only hearsay.

He was not clear about the specific details.

"Would you want to be my bodyguard and accompany me to the Hundred Flower Gathering?" Qi Yuan asked.

"Not interested." The Divine Thunder Venerable gave Qi Yuan a displeased look.

Someone of his caliber, being a bodyguard?

Moreover, if he went to the Hundred Flower Gathering and his identity was revealed, he might be besieged by many powerful people.

"What a pity," Qi Yuan said, "The Hundred Flower Gathering is in three days. I should make some preparations."

After all, leaving Greenwater village is not safe.

He needs to visualize more True Gods.

"Quickly visualize the Four Heavenly Kings." The Divine Thunder Venerable suggested from the side.

He wanted to know if Qi Yuan had anything up his sleeve.

"Okay, I’m going right now. I’m about to go on a long journey, so I need to arrange more security." Qi Yuan said earnestly.

So, this time, he planned to visualize at least five divine beings of the Four Heavenly Kings’ level.

Any higher level would not work.

After thinking for a moment, he entered the place of visualization.

Without giving it a second thought, the Divine Thunder Venerable also entered his chat group.

Suddenly, the group chat became lively.

"Divine Thunder Venerable, why are you here? Could it be you’re starting to visualize?"

"Do you have any new tricks up your sleeve?"

"Hehe, no. Recently, an ancient god has been pestering me, wanting to take me as his master.

"Though I don’t think highly of him, he was entrusted to me by a friend, so I suppose I shall give him some guidance. He is about to begin his contemplation, I wonder if I should check on him on the contemplation mountain," said Supreme God of Thunder in the chat.

"How will that work? Supreme God of Thunder, why not simply tell us what you’re actually here for."

"Ahem ahem, I heard he could contemplate the creation of a legendary-god observing technique, so I came in to take a look."

"A legendary-god observing technique? This prospect... isn’t too shabby.

Perfect, I lack a disciple, how about he becomes mine?"

"Scram, you already have seven disciples, yet you’re still unsatisfied?"

"A legendary-god observing technique is indeed impressive, but compared to being my chief disciple, it isn’t quite up to par.

My chief disciple, after all, was able to contemplate two legends and seven epics," someone boasted in the group.

Hearing this, Supreme God of Thunder chuckled, "Ah, what a shame that he is so lacking in talent, else I might have reluctantly taken him in as a pupil."

Supreme God of Thunder’s purpose for entering the chat is simple: to show off.

However, before showing off, he needs to enact a display of modesty first.

Wait until Origin Venerable suddenly unleashes three legends and blinds them with his brilliance.

"That guy is about to begin. In a little while, you’ll likely see the golden light atop contemplation mountain and hear the tweet of a hundred birds.

If he contemplates three, I might reluctantly... take him in as a nominal disciple," Supreme God of Thunder casually spouted in the group.

"Supreme God of Thunder, aren’t you being a bit too conceited? Not only contemplating three but also as a nominal disciple?"

"Supreme God of Thunder, quit showing off. The one who entered just now was Origin Venerable right? Wasn’t it me who referred him to you in the first place?"

"Hey, stop blowing my cover!" Supreme God of Thunder quickly replied.

He projects a part of his consciousness, letting it descend onto contemplation mountain.

Suddenly, a golden light flashes brilliantly, and a hundred birds start tweeting.

A smile appears in Supreme God of Thunder’s eyes, "This will do, it’s a legendary technique."

"Not bad, he’s indeed qualified to be a nominal disciple," an ancient god remarked in the chat.

The ancient gods in the chat, upon seeing the brilliant golden light, are quite excited.

Because, a legendary technique could potentially create a Venerable being given enough time.

At this moment, suddenly, there is also a brilliant golden light in contemplation mountain once more.

This time, it flashed twice.

"Three?" The people in the chat were completely shocked.

"Supreme God of Thunder, is this why you came here?"

"What a deep plot!"

"This ancient god is indeed worthy of being your personal disciple. Such a good prospect. Supreme White Ancient, why didn’t you recommend him to me?"

People were chatting in the group.

Meanwhile, Qi Yuan is on contemplation mountain, looking at the remaining pile of Evil God’s spiritual power.

Happiness shines in his eyes, "Is the Yin God level really this useful?

Contemplated three out of the four Heavenly Kings with a ninety percent chance and higher?

No, I need to contemplate more... how about the eighteenth Arhat!"

Qi Yuan thought for a moment and prepared to continue his contemplation.

At this moment in the chat, Supreme God of Thunder was very excited by the older man’s compliments, "Adding the one from before, there are now four legends. Just about right."

"Supreme God of Thunder, you couldn’t wait to show off after we flattered you a bit, huh?

I’ll take this prospect if you don’t want it!"

"Offer me twenty pieces of top-grade treasures, and I’ll let you have him," Supreme God of Thunder demanded unashamedly.

"Nevermind, top-grade treasures are more important!

Your disciple is indeed impressive, but not to the extent that... he matches the value of twenty top-grade treasures."

Just as the words left their mouths.

Suddenly, within contemplation mountain, golden light flashed brilliantly once again.

First sequence, second sequence, third sequence... tenth sequence...

The people in the chat were starting to feel a bit lost.

What did the sudden appearance of ten sequences of golden light mean?

Even Supreme God of Thunder was unable to comprehend, a terrifying thought crossing his mind.

The golden light continued to radiate.

Each flash made the Venerables present feel their hearts bearing a heavy pounding.

Finally, it stopped on the eighteenth sequence.

Within contemplation mountain, it wasn’t the chirping of a hundred birds anymore, but a whole thousand.

The Venerable beings who were chatting just now stared wide-eyed.

"Did I just see that wrong?"

"Eighteen sequences... how could this be possible?"

"All were legends?"

"Surely that can’t be your disciple, right?"

"Supreme God of Thunder, where are you now? I have prepared twenty top-grade treasures, I’m coming to bring my disciple back right now!"
