Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 204 The Weasel Borrows Treasure: The Soul-Illuminating Lamp of White Bones
More than a month later.

White Stone Mansion, White Bone Mountain.

"I'm sorry to have kept my sister waiting."

In the main hall of the White Bone Cave, a beautiful lady dressed in a jade brocade palace gown walked out of the cave and greeted Madam Huang, who was waiting in the hall.

Madam Huang stood up and jumped off the chair. "It is my presumption to come here. I did not know that my sister was in seclusion."

The beautiful lady was none other than the White Bone God's legitimate wife, Lady White Bone. At this moment, she stepped forward, took Lady Huang's hand, and pulled her back to sit in the hall. "I heard that the black dragon in the west destroyed Guangwu County, but fortunately it did not affect Huangtian Altar."

"Luckily, the Ink Dragon has chosen that old poisonous corpse as its possession."

Madam Huang nodded, then said seriously, "But the Ink Dragon only comes out once every two or three years, and it only kills mortals, so it is no threat to us. On the contrary, the newly built Daluo Palace in Changping Prefecture in the north is a major threat to us."

"Oh?" Lady White Bone asked in surprise, "Changping Prefecture? Daluo Palace? Isn't that the territory of the Golden Wind Sect?"

"The Golden Wind Sect has been destroyed by the Great Luo Palace," Madam Huang said solemnly. "Not only that, the remaining Three Wonders Mountain, Bi'ang Palace, and Stone King Cave in Changping Prefecture have also been destroyed by the Great Luo Palace."

Lady White Bone had heard of places like the Three Absolutes Mountain, but their strength was too weak, and they were merely memorable to her, far inferior to the Golden Wind Sect, which controlled the entire Changping Prefecture.

“Old Ghost Jin Feng’s magic power is not weak. It seems that the Palace Master of the Great Luo Palace is no ordinary person either,” Lady White Bone said with a smile.

Lady White Bone remained unconcerned. Changping Prefecture was bordered by Pingjiang Prefecture to the west and Wanling River to the north, and it had no special blessed lands or rare treasures. To put it bluntly, it was just a buffer zone.

The Golden Wind God King was known as the king of monkeys in Changping Prefecture, but when he actually came to Baishi Prefecture, he wouldn't even get a few slaps from the White Bone God.

So Lady White Bone simply asked with a smile, "Did your Yellow Heaven Altar clash with the Great Luo Palace, sister?"

"Those who appear to be practicing at the Daluo Palace are all old sorcerers, but their demand for incense offerings is extremely high," Madam Huang said. "Therefore, they must have a group of compatible spirits and deities."

Lady White Bone nodded. "The simple-minded mage is no match for Old Ghost Golden Wind."

"They are even better at maintaining appearances than the Golden Wind God. They not only travel around killing evil demons and monsters, but also clear out bandits and outlaws who rob people on the road," said Madam Huang. "Therefore, the people respect them and the incense offerings are very popular."

Lady White Bone raised an eyebrow. "How come you're meddling in things even more than the Xuanwei Divine Sect?"

"Yes!" Madam Huang added fuel to the fire. "They talk about upholding justice, acting on behalf of Heaven, protecting mortals, and killing demons and ghosts. All demons and monsters that harm the people are their targets for extermination."

Lady White Bone sneered, "What arrogance! Pingjiang Prefecture is right next to Changping Prefecture, so why don't they go and deal with the Ink Dragon?"

"Of course they don't have the guts." Madam Huang chuckled, then her smile faded. "But they did manage to get to White Stone Mansion, and they even eliminated that old poisonous corpse in Boundless Cave."

Lady White Bone raised an eyebrow. "Rong Xuan is dead?"

"My men went to Wuliang Cave, but it has long been destroyed and everyone is dead. The passage leading to the underground poisonous land has also been sealed off," Madam Huang said.

Lady White Bone's smile faded.

She didn't care about the affairs of Changping Prefecture, but since the Daluo Palace had come to Baishi Prefecture and even destroyed one of Baishi Prefecture's forces, she couldn't help but be on guard.

"Are you sure it was the Great Luo Palace that did it, sister?" Lady White Bone asked. "I'm not sure, but I can't think of any other culprit besides the Great Luo Palace," Lady Huang said. "Moreover, the Old Poison Corpse considers Guangwu County his private domain. If they hadn't destroyed the Boundless Cave, how would they dare to preach in Guangwu County?"

"Has the Great Luo Palace reached Guangwu County?" Lady White Bone continued to ask.

"The one who came was an old sorcerer, and the one who met him was a red-haired, blue-faced ghost," Madam Huang said. "His cultivation and magical power were both quite strong. He was probably an elder of the Great Luo Palace. My fourth son was holding my husband's Yellow Heaven Divine Smoke, but he was still killed by him."

Lady White Bone understood, "Sister, you've come here to borrow the White Bone Soul-Illuminating Lamp."

Madam Huang gave a slight bow. "That's right. Sister's White Bone Soul-Illuminating Lamp is specifically designed to ward off ghosts and spirits. Wherever the light shines, ghosts and spirits flee in terror. It is the nemesis of the ghosts in the Great Luo Palace."

Lady White Bone smiled smugly and said without any modesty, "If the Palace Master of the Great Luo Palace is a ghost or god, he is indeed restrained by my Soul-Illuminating Lamp. Unless he has a thousand years of cultivation, he is powerless under the lamp's light."

Madam Huang smiled and said, "That's why I'd like to borrow your lamp, elder sister."

Lady White Bone revealed a knowing smile; the other party's behavior was easy to understand.

The Huangtian Altar Master and his wife were a pair of weasels. Due to the limitations of their original forms, they could not refine their bodies, so they focused on cultivating their spirits and souls. They were natural enemies of the Golden Wind Sect and the Great Luo Palace.

However, Huangtian Laozu and Jinfeng Shenwang only had a few hundred years of cultivation. The incense offerings in one prefecture were enough for them to be honored as ancestors, and they had no interest in expansion. Therefore, they had lived in peace for many years.

However, Huangtian Laozu was clearly more ambitious than Jinfeng Shenwang. He had taken in many small spirits and monsters. After many years of development, he gradually ran out of both incense offerings and children's souls, so he decided to expand northward.

Originally, Huangtian Laozu was certain that Jinfeng Shenwang would be defeated, but the enemy on the other side suddenly changed.

The Daluo Palace was clearly more powerful than the Golden Wind Divine Sect. A Daluo Palace elder who had come south easily eliminated a protector of the Yellow Heaven Altar who possessed the Yellow Heaven Divine Smoke. So, just to be on the safe side, Madam Huang came to borrow a magic weapon from her.

“This is easy to discuss.” Lady White Bone took Lady Yellow’s hand. “My sister gave me three to five hundred children born on a yang day to help my child cultivate. It’s just a lamp, no need to be so formal.”

Lady White Bone flipped her jade hand, and a lamp appeared in her hand.

The lamp was made entirely of bones. The base was surrounded by leg and foot bones about the thickness of chopsticks, and the support was made up of a bunch of tiny-looking ribs. The tray above was surrounded by arm and hand bones that looked like miniature models. In the center, where the wick was, was a skull about the size of a thumb joint, with a cluster of translucent, shimmering green flames burning on the entire skull.

The bone lamp is as white as jade, and its light is crystal clear.

If it weren't for its terrifying design, this lamp would even give people a sense of holiness.

"It's a pity my husband is helping my son cultivate the White Bone Demonic Art, so he can't travel easily. Otherwise, I would have accompanied you on this trip, sister," Lady White Bone said gently.

“A mere group of newly powerful ghosts and spirits, why would you need to make a trip for me, sister?” Madam Huang quickly replied.

The two women looked at each other and smiled.

Madam Huang thought for a moment and asked, "Since the Divine Lord is helping my nephew cultivate his divine skills, and it is inconvenient for my sister to travel, do you need some children born on a yang day as a catalyst?"

Lady White Bone's eyes softened. "If it's convenient for you, sister, please send some more children born in the Yang month to the cave. If there are any boys born in the Yang month, on the Yang day, and at the Yang hour, that would be even better."

Madam Huang accepted the Bone Soul-Illuminating Lamp. "Don't worry, sister, I'll make the arrangements right away."
