Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 163 Daoist Yihong Soars Through the Clouds

"Hurry up!"

"Keep up, keep up, keep up!"

"Has support arrived?"

"Teams Six and Seven have arrived!"

"Notify Team Six to go to the eastern hilltop, and Team Seven to support the western side!"

Have all the people living at the foot of the mountain been evacuated?

"Evacuation is underway! It is expected to be completed by 6 p.m.!"

"The fire is too big. Notify the fire brigade in Fengxian County to set up a firebreak to ensure the safety of the county seat!"

"The notification has already been sent out. We also just received news that reinforcements from Shancheng are on their way and will arrive in an hour."

"it is good!"

Fire trucks lined the roadside, and orders were being issued. Some people were already fighting the fire on the mountain, while others were ready to go.

"We must not allow the wildfires to spread! We must resolutely ensure the safety of people's lives and property!"

"Yes!"

One by one, the young soldiers, dressed neatly, with determined eyes and serious faces, began to climb the mountain carrying their equipment.

Just then, many people noticed that the sky had suddenly darkened.

The commander looked up and saw that a thin layer of dark clouds had suddenly appeared in the sky, and it was becoming thicker and denser at a speed visible to the naked eye, even obscuring the sun.

"What's going on? Didn't the weather bureau say there wouldn't be any rain for the next ten days or so?" the commander asked.

The assistant instructor also looked at the sky in surprise. Experience told him that as long as there were clouds of this size, even if it didn't rain, the weather bureau could fire a cannonball into it and it would turn into rain.

"Quickly! Notify the meteorological bureau and tell them to send one down from the sky!" the commander said urgently.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a thunderclap resounded out of nowhere.

"Boom!"

A thunderous roar echoed for miles around.

"They fired artillery?" the assistant instructor asked in surprise. "Such a quick reaction?"

"Quick reaction my foot! It's thunder!" the commander exclaimed incredulously. "Thunder in the dead of winter? What kind of weather is this?"

All the firefighters who were going up the mountain couldn't help but look up and see layers upon layers of dark clouds pressing down from the sky, rolling and churning, stretching as far as the eye could see, almost covering the entire sky.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three claps of thunder sounded in succession, and then a heavy rain began to fall.

Without warning, without any sign, without any gradual change from small to large, a torrential downpour suddenly began, cascading down like a waterfall.

Rain hit the fire truck windows, and splashes of water hit the commander's face, which brought him to his senses.

"It's raining?"

"What a heavy rain!" the assistant instructor laughed heartily. "Things are simple now!"

"Go! Go! Go!" The commander threw the map in his hand to the deputy instructor. "Everyone, go! Take advantage of the heavy rain and put out the wildfire!"

……

A mountain valley.

Gu Zhao, Daoist Yansong, Daoist Yihong, and Daoist Mingyu are performing a spell.

Compared to the legendary practice of building a rain-seeking altar as high as possible, erecting spell banners in all directions, having hundreds of people sit in meditation and chant scriptures, and having the chief priest burn incense and make offerings to invite the dragon kings of the four directions to send rain... What they are doing now is simply using their magic to merge with heaven and earth, condense water vapor into clouds, and then form rain.

Because it wasn't a battle, and they had a special rain-making spell, plus the guidance of the most powerful Daoist Yansong, their influence was extremely far-reaching. Their magic spread along the clouds, extending for dozens of miles and completely enveloping the wildfire area.

Master Yansong stepped on the Big Dipper, formed hand seals, and exhaled, "The four seasons bring faith, benefiting strength and truth. Turning adversity into harmony, one achieves truth and drives away the wind."

The scattered magical power merged into the air, forming another wind amidst the gusts of cold wind.

This wind is extraordinary; as it blows, it can gather water molecules in the air together, causing them to accumulate in mid-air.

Master Yihong followed behind him, his sword fingers pointing repeatedly, "Heaven and earth unite in virtue, gods and men are in harmony. Clouds move and qi spreads, substance gathers and truth is refined."

The gathered water vapor began to condense into clouds under the guidance of magic, at a speed many times faster than naturally formed clouds. In a short time, clusters of cumulonimbus clouds formed and then rapidly expanded in all directions.

The clouds grew thicker and lower, condensing all the moisture gathered by the wind within them.

Gu Zhao was most skilled in thunder magic. He used the Yu Step technique with his feet and formed hand seals while chanting the lightning incantation: "Heavenly fire shines brightly, earthly fire blazes fiercely. When the gods summon, it appears in all directions."

"Boom! Boom!"

Electricity began to circulate within the thick, dark clouds, causing the water vapor in the clouds to condense into rain.

Master Mingyu performed the final spell, a broad smile on his face, raising his finger to the sky, "The Great Purity Union Technique, the Jade Laws in Ten Thousand Chapters. Clouds pass over the North Sea, rain falls in all directions."

In an instant, the rain poured down!

"Hahahahahaha!"

The three old Taoist priests burst into laughter, as if they had accomplished something extraordinary.

Just then, Master Yihong's expression changed, and a white cloud appeared out of thin air beneath his feet, carrying him slowly into the air, and he too took flight.

Master Yihong was overjoyed and flew higher and higher.

Gu Zhao couldn't help but remind him, "Be careful, don't let anyone see you."

Master Yihong nodded, and then a wisp of true energy enveloped his body, concealing his form.

Gu Zhao, “…”

Master Yansong laughed heartily, while Master Mingyu also felt envy in his eyes. Sensing the magical power within his body, he secretly made up his mind.

Gu Zhao smiled and shook his head, feeling that his position as the Grand Luo Palace Master was becoming more and more relaxed.

A moment later, Master Yihong descended from the sky and said to the group, "I just saw from the sky that the wildfire has been completely extinguished and the firefighters have begun to retreat."

“In that case, let’s stop the rain,” said Daoist Yansong.

Master Mingyu looked at the still-heavy clouds in the sky and said, "It seems that we've gathered too many clouds in a moment of excitement. Let's hurry up and disperse them, lest the heavy rain cause landslides, which would be undesirable."

"Excellent, excellent." Daoist Yihong nodded repeatedly. "Let's all attack together!"

So the four of them stood in four directions, their energy flowing together, and they walked counterclockwise, their hands forming hand seals pointing to the sky. They circulated their internal energy and exhaled, saying, "May your faith be emanated from the Big Dipper, and your virtue extend to the four corners. Stop now, stop now, and let go of all worries."

The vast and powerful magic reached straight to the sky, instantly merging into the dark clouds overhead.

In an instant, the torrential rain stopped and the clouds dispersed.

Centered on the location where the four people were standing, the dark clouds began to dissipate in circles from the inside out. In just a few minutes, the clouds dispersed, the rain stopped, and the sun shone brightly.

All the water vapor that has not yet settled will re-enter the air and will not have a significant impact on the environment.

The next moment, a rainbow suddenly appeared in mid-air, its seven-colored halo spanning from the eastern mountain peak to the western mountain peak, forming a huge arched rainbow bridge, a breathtaking sight.

The crowds who had been evacuated halfway, the firefighters who were descending the mountain, and the people who were rushing to provide support all looked up at the rainbow in the sky.

"So beautiful!"
