The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 291 Calling the Wind and Rain
Ding Lin listened without changing his expression, but his heart was shaken. Don't say foolish things like "only Taiyi". How many cultivators in this world have exhausted their lives and worked hard for nothing more than becoming a Golden Immortal.

Moreover, the path of immortality values ​​privacy.

In this world, let alone lovers, even between husband and wife, the so-called divine couples, no matter how loving they are in daily life, will each do their own thing when it comes to cultivation.

“Taiyi,” Ding Lin said, looking intently at Qingyi, “this technique was bestowed upon you by your master. If he finds out that you are passing it on privately, you will be punished.”

"Do you know who my master is?" asked the woman in green, feeling a slight warmth welling up in her heart.

“You just mentioned Beiming, and the technique he taught is so remarkable,” Ding Lin said. “I really can’t think of anyone else besides that one.”

"Demon Master, Kunpeng!"

“That’s right, Demon Master,” said the man in green. “My master often said that he was not just the teacher of one lineage or one demon, but wished to be the teacher of all demons in the world.”

“In this world, the demon race is weak. Any demon in the Three Realms can become your master if they wish. Although you have now cultivated a dragon body, who knows your background better than me? It is undoubtedly a demon. If you achieve something in the future, your master will only be happy that our demon race has gained another talented person. There is no reason for him to blame you.”

"The Demon Master is so magnanimous!" Ding Lin was filled with awe.

"Don't be too happy yet. I only passed this on to you because I saw that your physical body has some potential. Whether you will succeed or not is still another matter," said the man in green. "This technique was passed down from the primordial era. Before the chaos was created, it was conceived in the Eastern Emperor Bell and formed from the innate. Therefore, when you first start cultivating it, you need a trace of innate energy to activate it. In other words, when you are in the Yuan Shen realm, at least one of the two spiritual objects used to house your soul must be a true innate one."

Qingyi glanced at Ding Lin, whose expression remained unchanged, and then continued speaking.

"These are the conditions that can be distinguished. In addition, there is another point that can only be tried but cannot be distinguished, and that is that you must have the same 'chaos' as the technique."

"Chaos?" Ding Lin asked, puzzled.

"When Pangu created the world, three thousand gods and demons were reincarnated. They carried the chaos within them. Before the creation of the world, there was chaos. Theoretically, we are all descendants of gods and demons, and we all have the spirit of chaos within us. It's just that the amount varies. Among billions of living beings, perhaps one or two can meet the prefix requirements for cultivating techniques."

“After Master obtained this technique after the death of Donghuang, he was not stingy with it. However, from the primordial era to the present, there are only a handful of people in the Northern Underworld, including myself, who can master the Lingbao Technique.”

"Theoretically, the higher one's physical potential, the greater the possibility of cultivation. Of course, it's not absolute. I was just a lowly dragonfish back then, but I still managed to find out my aptitude. And you, as a carp, not only crossed the Dragon Gate but also grew six toes. Perhaps you also have a slight chance of succeeding in cultivation."

"It's just a trial anyway, there's no harm in doing it, so why not?" said the woman in green.

Ding Lin understood. This was a cultivation technique that depended on one's appearance. Although the "Great Celestial Immortal Technique" was also extremely difficult to cultivate, its threshold of nine thousand years of cultivation was a real requirement. However, with the chaos of the "Spiritual Treasure Technique," whether one could cultivate it depended entirely on appearance.

"Here you go!" The man in green handed Ding Lin a bronze metal token. "The Lingbao Manual is extraordinary. It cannot be engraved on an ordinary jade slip. My master has studied it for thousands of years and discovered the essence of the five metals, which is only slightly similar to the essence of the Eastern Emperor Bell. It can be used to carry it."

Ding Lin reached out and took it.

"This technique refines spiritual objects, so why did you come to the Peach Garden?" Ding Lin's mind raced, and he suddenly realized something.

“That’s right, I originally came for the peaches of immortality, but since you are now in charge of this garden, I’ll just give up on that idea. I’ll find another spiritual item elsewhere, otherwise you won’t be able to explain it to me.” The woman in green said, then paused, “I… won’t come to this garden again.”

"Peaches, I have them here..." Ding Lin's palm flashed with spiritual light, and he took out dozens of peaches from his storage space, piling them up to the brim on the stone table. He was about to take more when he heard the second half of Qingyi's words, and his movements stopped abruptly.

“Qingyi, Qing’er…” Ding Lin’s voice carried a hint of fear.

"With chaos imminent in Heaven, I have my own mission here. I won't be returning to the Peach Garden for the time being," said the woman in green, glancing at Ding Lin. "You don't think..."

"I didn't..." Ding Lin breathed a sigh of relief. "Then where are you now? I can come to see you when I have time."

“If I have time in the future, or if I am still in heaven after this matter is over, I will naturally come to find you again,” Qingyi said to Ding Lin. “You don’t need to know where I am now. It’s just a temporary residence. Besides, it would be inconvenient for you to come looking for me now.”

in the future.

Unfortunately, there was no future.

Qingyi's face remained unchanged, but she had already made a decision in her heart. From the moment she asked Yang Chan and Ding Lin hesitated and did not answer, she had already decided that although she could not suppress her feelings, she could choose not to see him!

She, the mighty Great Sage Who Overturned the Seas, naturally had her own pride!

"Look at these peaches, are they enough?" Ding Lin said, looking at him with a slightly ingratiating expression. "If not, I have more."

“No need for so many,” the woman in green picked out a dozen or so from the stone table. “These are enough. Peaches of immortality are known for prolonging life, but their level is too low, so they are very likely to be useless. Even if they are useful, at most one can cultivate a law related to life force. Golden Immortals can live forever and have endless lifespan. This law is also at the very low level. A dozen or so should be enough.”

"As for you, if you truly have the talent to cultivate the 'Spirit Treasure Technique,' refining the peaches of immortality will save you a lot of trouble when you first start cultivating. As long as you have enough, when you reach the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm, if you're lucky enough to condense another law, even if it's just the lowest level and just to make up the numbers, your path to Taiyi will be smoother in the future," said the woman in green.

“I have plenty here,” Ding Lin said.

"Really, there's no need," Qingyi said with a smile, standing up.

"Qingyi, are you leaving already?" Ding Lin reached out and grabbed the delicate hand hanging by his side.

"Hmm." Qingyi nodded. "I originally came here for the peaches of immortality. It's a pleasant surprise to see you again, but I really can't stay outside any longer. I have to leave now."

Qingyi withdrew her hand from Ding Lin's palm, hugged him gently again, and then without hesitation, she flashed away. The restrictions on the small building fluctuated slightly, and she had escaped using some unknown method.

Ding Lin looked to the east, and the restrictions on the Peach Garden there fluctuated slightly in the next moment.

He didn't look away for a long time, and suddenly felt a void in his heart, as if he had lost something extremely important.

……

The Fifth Fairy was truly powerful. I wonder how she helped Ding Lin in the Jade Pool, managing to wipe out such a large number of unavailable peaches with a single stroke.

No further decrees came from Yaochi.

No news is the best news.

Three days later, even the lowest-ranking heavenly soldiers knew that they had landed safely this time.

As a result, people were at peace and overjoyed. Moreover, no one knew what Xin Jia said, but Ding Lin gained great prestige among this group of people without even showing his face.

The next day, when the order from Tianpeng arrived from the Milky Way, and Ding Lin appeared, the heavenly soldiers looked at him with awe.

Tianpeng issued two orders: one formally appointed Xin Jia as the leader, and the other dealt with the seven ghost immortals and their squad leaders who had been sent away by Ding Lin outside the garden.

They were all banished to the mortal realm. The seven ghost immortals were reduced to local earth gods and mountain deities, at least retaining their official status. The squad leaders, however, were stripped of their titles and sent to serve as lowly, incompetent laborers alongside the ghost immortals. After the incident, Xin Jia, following Ding Lin's instructions, transferred another hundred men to guard the outside of the garden, leaving nine hundred inside. They were then redistributed and assigned specific duties, while Ding Lin retreated back to his small building to cultivate.

With thirty-six transformations at his disposal, Ding Lin had already mastered the art of flying through the clouds. Searching through the catalog, he found a new goal: summoning wind and rain.

Wind and rain were also common natural phenomena in geography from previous lives.

Ding Lin sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, recalling the knowledge deep within his mind.

Wind is a natural phenomenon caused by the movement of air.

……

The horizontal movement of air is called wind.

……

Wind is a phenomenon of air movement on Earth, generally caused by solar radiation. Sunlight shines on the Earth's surface, raising its temperature. The air near the surface heats up, expands, becomes lighter, and rises. As the warm air rises, cooler air flows in laterally. The rising air gradually cools and becomes heavier, then falls. Because the Earth's surface temperature is relatively high, it heats the air again, causing it to rise. This movement of air is wind.

……

When the water vapor that gathers (clouds) condenses into water, its volume shrinks, and surrounding water vapor comes to replenish it, thus forming wind.

Countless terms flashed through my mind.

In the inner world, the golden elixir rises high, shaped like the great sun.

However, it is only similar in form. Fortunately, Ding Lin now possesses all four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire. Although he has not yet comprehended the laws of fire, he can still use the fire element to imbue his golden core with a trace of fire, which gives the light heat. He then uses the water element to give the air the concept of cold. In addition, clouds are a law that he has already comprehended. Thus, all the conditions are met.

Suddenly, a violent gust of wind swept up from nowhere in the inner cave.

This wind is not that wind.

It's not the wind of earth, fire, wind, and water. That wind should perhaps be called 'qi'. Everything in the world is derived from tangible and intangible things. The ancient numbers did not understand the numbers of heaven and earth, and they used partial examples to generalize. They called it 'wind'.

A tinkling sound echoed in the void as another chain of laws extended, positioned above the clouds and below the law representing the tranquility of the water, in the middle reaches.

Thus, the Inner Landscape Cave Heaven contained four laws.

After reaching the Golden Immortal realm, the accumulation of magical power plays a much smaller role in cultivation, with the focus shifting towards laws. Nine is the ultimate number, and nine laws represent the limit that the Golden Immortal realm can accommodate.

The four laws meant that Ding Lin's realm had entered the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm.

Of course, this is a quantitative classification.

There are also varying degrees of strength among the laws. If a law is powerful, it is not a problem to use one law to suppress nine others. The definition of combat power in the Golden Immortal realm is actually quite complex.

However, such a division is necessary.

Because after the ninth level, one will enter a completely new realm where laws can be mixed together. By combining the strengths of each law and making up for their weaknesses, even the lowest-level laws can be fused together and exert a power far greater than the nine scattered laws.

This is using one's level of understanding to intimidate others.

Starting from the Taiyi Realm, the scope of comprehension of laws becomes extremely broad. Ten laws constitute Taiyi, ninety-nine laws also constitute Taiyi, and nine hundred and ninety-nine laws are still Taiyi. Thus, the Taiyi Realm is further divided into scattered numbers and fruit positions.

From the tenth law to the ninety-ninth law, because the number of laws comprehended is still too small, although they can be combined, it is difficult to form a truly orderly system. They are somewhat scattered, and therefore are also called scattered numbers.

Up to one hundred laws.

Quantitative change eventually leads to qualitative change, just like when a Golden Immortal breaks through to the Taiyi realm and the laws are combined. The ninety-nine laws that have been combined will be combined again. After that, a mysterious position will descend from the Great Dao to suppress and govern. This position is called the Fruit Position.

Then, after nine hundred and ninety-nine cycles, the great fusion occurred nine times, reaching a new limit. At this point, the fruition level had been stacked to its extreme.

If only I could comprehend another law.

A thousand laws constitute the Great Luo realm!
……

Ding Lin's cultivation level is still shallow, so he can only dream about it. Afterwards, he focused his energy on the rain.

With a single thought, knowledge about rain naturally resurfaces.

Rain is a natural precipitation phenomenon caused by atmospheric circulation disturbances.

Rain is water droplets falling from clouds. Water on the surface of land and sea evaporates into water vapor. When the water vapor rises to a certain height, it cools and turns into small water droplets. These small water droplets form clouds. They collide with each other in the clouds and merge into large water droplets. When the droplets become too large for the air to support, they fall from the clouds and form rain.

……

Rain has many causes and manifests in various forms, including drizzle, continuous rain, and torrential downpours.

……

When water on Earth is exposed to sunlight, it evaporates into the air as water vapor. This water vapor then condenses into tiny water droplets when it encounters cold air at high altitudes. These droplets are then held aloft by rising air currents, forming clouds.

In the early stages of raindrop formation, cloud droplets mainly rely on continuously absorbing water vapor from the surrounding cloud to condense and sublimate.

If the water vapor energy in the cloud is continuously supplied and replenished, keeping the surface of the cloud droplets in a supersaturated state, then the cloud droplets will continue to grow. When the cloud droplets in the cloud grow to a certain extent, due to the continuous increase in the volume and weight of the large cloud droplets, they will not only catch up with the smaller cloud droplets that are moving slower during their descent, but will also "swallow" more smaller cloud droplets to grow stronger.

As cloud droplets grow larger and larger, eventually becoming too big for the air to support, they fall from the clouds to the ground as rain.

Ding Lin recalled that rain, wind, and clouds actually have many similarities.

He still infused a trace of heat into his golden core, and the inner world immediately shone brightly, with countless water vapors rising. He then smashed a corner of the mountain rock to use as a condensation nucleus—a concept he had already grasped long ago.

And clouds are the prelude to rain. This action was naturally something he was very familiar with, but what followed was unfamiliar territory that he had never tried before.

Changes in temperature, the convergence of cloud droplets...
