Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 475 The Appearance of Great Compassion
The sun shines without brilliance, and the fierce wind howls angrily.

Xu Xuan's extraordinary inspiration once again revealed a strange phenomenon.

A chill rose from the ground, mingling with the warm night breeze to create a strange and eerie scene.

When the spirit was pulled into the ancient wilderness, the waters of Taihu Lake were boundless and the power of the water source was inexhaustible; even a casual wave could rise a hundred meters high.

A huge blue shadow could be vaguely seen slowly wriggling in the mist.

With a low, long roar, Qingying gradually revealed her true form.

A colossal serpent with a massive body and scales that shimmer with an eerie light, its eyes holding a hint of wisdom and the vicissitudes of time.

Every breath seemed to stir up the wind and clouds, and every friction of the scales seemed to be the whisper of heaven and earth.

The giant snake slowly rose and hovered over Taihu Lake.

Surrounded by a violent spiritual light, it exudes the majesty and domineering presence of the Taihu Lake Water Lord.

When the spiritual sense dissipated, Xiaoqing's true form was revealed.

Well, it's nowhere near as domineering as the one I sensed. It's just a green snake spirit at the peak of the second realm, with a slightly more domineering aura.

But perhaps because they were too familiar with each other, the goofy side beneath the domineering aura was still revealed.

Xiao Qing glared at Xu Xuan, thinking to herself, "This guy seems to be cursing me inside and out."

Of course, the most important thing right now isn't the Yuwang Temple, but the outside!

The tiny green snake's body transformed into a phantom, passing directly through the temple and flying into the outside world.

True form, reveal yourself!

In an instant, it broke through 100 meters, and many ancient marks appeared on its huge body, a gift from Taihu Lake.

Those who use force to feign benevolence become tyrants, and tyrants inevitably possess great powers. Those who practice virtue and benevolence become kings, and kings do not need to be powerful.

This is how humans evaluate their rulers.

But it's much simpler for the demon race.

The strong are the overlords, the kings.

As the green snake continued to dance, the power of Taihu Lake was fully mobilized.

The Qi of Heaven and Earth, when combined, becomes one, which is divided into Yin and Yang, then into the four seasons, and finally into the five elements.

Living in Taihu Lake, this water deity from the post-mythological era has ultimately acquired a touch of the divine.

The power of extreme cold was unleashed to its fullest extent, with snowflakes falling like waterfalls, and the amount of snowfall over the lake was rapidly approaching historical records.

Then, with the dance of the green snake, things turned from bad to good, and the heavens changed their course.

The small-scale cycle of the four seasons is intervened by external forces, the temperature rises, the snow melts and spring appears.

The dormant vitality of life in the midst of the Great Cold was awakened.

It can almost be considered one of the great supernatural powers, involving celestial phenomena changes so complex that they make one's scalp tingle.

Looking at this scene, Xu Xuan understood why King Yu had appeared.

The ancient King Yu slew the water demons and locked up Wuzhiqi because they were too powerful and had a king-like control over the water flow in their domain.

Although this is the ability that the Water Elementals care about the least, it is a disaster for human tribes that cannot live without lakes.

When the Heavenly Court controls the four directions, the Thunder Department will not allow such arbitrary changes to the seasons.

There are specialized divine officials in charge of specific duties, such as officials who bring rain and clouds, who are in charge of the wind and rain of the four seasons, officials who bring thunder and rain in the western region, officials who chase the wind and spread clouds, and officials who are in charge of thunder, wind, snow, hail, and lightning.

This is a crucial authority in any era.

Everyone watched as the lake water warmed up, spring returned to the earth, and the green snake radiated the joy of communion with heaven and earth.

Then it shone brightly.

The universe turns, the snake dances through the four seasons, and the wind and clouds stir up the mortal world.

The sun and moon are renewed, you govern the five lakes, water and fire are merciless, tempering the clouds.

He recited the poem aloud before transforming into human form.

He wore a blue robe and willow-leaf jacket, a bright silver ringed armor, a jade snake crown, and embroidered war boots.

Holding a map of Taihu Lake's hydrology and carrying the twin swords of Ganmo on his back.

What a spirited and proud Water Lord, his eyes gleaming with imperial arrogance! But unbeknownst to them, Vanguard General Li Yingqi stood on the lake, holding a large blue banner, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Eight thousand Taihu demon soldiers, who had emerged against the tide of fate, knelt on the lake surface.

"Welcome back, Your Majesty!"

The remaining few ice crystals were shattered, and waves rippled across Taihu Lake.

Xiaoqing was filled with excitement, standing on the cloud, brimming with boundless energy.

"Next spring, we will conquer Dongting!"

The war has never stopped; this period of dormancy is only for the purpose of unleashing an even more powerful punch.

As the head of the department responsible for armed conquest in Baoan Hall, Master Qing is a typical militant.

Xu Xuan wanted to quell the floods and suppress the demonic forces, so she would be the sharpest sword, the fiercest fire, and the most powerful force to help him.

That's what it means to be like-minded!
The words of conquest have been spoken, and the being far away in the mists of Dongting Lake has awakened once more.

He sensed the presence of war and looked towards the east.

"Another one is going to conquer Dongting Lake."

"The Water God of Taihu Lake: The Way of Heaven or the Way of Man?"

Compared to the great undertaking it is about to accomplish, it is perfectly normal for it to encounter calamities that hinder its progress.

I never expected it to be the one from West Lake, but some strange demon that came from who-knows-where.

Since that's the case, I'll give you a big gift.

The Cloud King raised his hand, and a stream of light flew out from Mount Jun and landed in his palm.

A broken seal, neither gold nor jade, bears the imperial edict in dragon and phoenix script, which is the seal of the Taihu Lake Water God.

Although it has lost most of its power, it is still a rare treasure, and it is many times more valuable than the reed seeds of the Reed Flower Lady.

He infused a passage with demonic energy and then threw it into the waters of Dongting Lake.

Due to the causal relationship, this object will flow directly towards Taihu Lake along the water's direction.

This is both a test and a scheme. If you accept it, you'll become nothing more than a water god, nothing to fear. If you refuse, that shows some skill. If you can't even hear these words, then you can be destroyed with a flick of your wrist.

It's a rather retro approach, a rather unconventional form of challenge.

Yun Zhongjun watched quietly, watched, watched.
"Ok?"

The situation is fine as the Junshui River flows eastward into Poyang Lake, but things gradually become off as it flows further east into the Changjiang River, and it seems that the core of the hydrology is unclear.

Continuing eastward seemed to be interfered with by an invisible force, and we almost entered the Yangtze River.

Just as they were getting close to the Taihu Lake basin, they were disturbed by an invisible force. A white lotus flower fell and knocked the Water God Seal to the bottom of the river.

Although it is still spinning, the cause and effect have been confused, and the initiative is no longer in one's own hands.

Yun Zhongjun's figure, hidden in the clouds, swayed slightly. He hadn't expected that he couldn't even deliver himself to the opponent's face.

The show of force turned into self-humiliation.

The Water Lord of Taihu Lake is highly skilled, and even someone as powerful as Him has become serious.

"Good, good, good, what a fine Lord of Taihu Lake."

Yun Zhongjun began to awaken his demonic body, awaiting the great calamity next year.

The surging mist also invigorated the eight demon kings of Dongting Lake, who came to the foot of Junshan Mountain to await orders.

Unfortunately, Lord Yun Zhongjun still ignored them, as if these demon experts were not worth his trouble.

Only the ninth demon, who arrived unexpectedly, was received.

It claims to be an ancient demon from Dongting Lake, returning from the north, and is named Daci.

"Your Majesty, the White Lotus Sect is willing to help you fulfill your wish."

The large eyes in the mist looked at this former subordinate and friend without any joy, recalling the resolute way the other party had left Dongting Lake to follow Bai Lian.

The gradually disappearing figure revealed their attitude.

Da Ci pressed on, saying, "Your Majesty, the Holy Mother is also in Jiangnan. If she can help you, she can surely fulfill your wish."
