Up until now, no one had asked Li Changzhou if he consented to solve the puzzle.

The situation was overbearing, and what could be done if he didn't agree? Besides, this was already the best choice.

Among limited options, winning the immense unpredictability and gaining the strength to continue was what players do, which is also called life.

The Third Heavenly Mother gave a slight bow to Li Changzhou and said, "We set the question, whether it be clear, rainy, or snowy, you choose first."

The Third Heavenly Mother had an extremely beautiful appearance, with skin as smooth as porcelain and jade, possessing a third of Yang Qinglan's beauty.

Her voice, though not loud, was clear and melodious to the ears.

Additionally, knowing the proper conducts and being humble made her even more admirable, let's grant her a four.

Although she was very polite, whether it was clear, rainy, or snowy, it made no difference to Li Changzhou; he didn't know any of them.

[The Tongtian River often had frost and snow during August, and it was not surprising even if the river froze. I observe the sky, and within half a day there must be heavy snow. You choose 'snow' to gain the advantage of timing.] Guanyin suggested.

[Having the advantage of timing, location, and people, even possessing one of these is enough.]

"Thank you, Third Heavenly Mother," since others were polite, Li Changzhou was also courteous, "I choose snow."

"Good," the Third Heavenly Mother nodded, "From your choice, I can tell you indeed understand the Praying to Heaven Technique, so I will not hold back either, I choose 'rain'."

[...] Guanyin was silent.

Is this the value game?

She had just proposed a tactic when the opponent countered with a plan.

[Be careful, the opponent is already skilled in the Praying to Heaven Technique and has chosen 'rain' on the Tongtian River, gaining the advantage of timing and location!] She warned Li Changzhou.

—If it's impossible, just go to the Immortal Peach Orchard, steal a nine thousand-year-old Flat Peach Tree for your sister to take out; with this tree, this mission would be considered profitable.

—You could definitely have more faith in me.

Li Changzhou didn't even glance at the Turquoise Pool inside the luxury car; who would diminish their own prestige when facing a formidable enemy?

However, he kept this matter in mind.

He had almost forgotten that the Turquoise Pool's 'Favored Concubine - Favorite' could unconditionally bring an item out from the instance.

Gathering his thoughts, Li Changzhou began to ponder.

The Praying Technique concerned the essentials of people's livelihood, was one of the direct means by which the Heavenly Palace controlled the Mortal World, and also the foundation for earthly emperors to consolidate their rule. Therefore, the 'Fragrant Leaf Crown' held a significant number of Praying to Heaven Techniques.

Yang Qinglan had basically learned them all, whereas Li Changzhou...

Lack of interest was one reason, but more importantly, he had always felt out of sync with the outside world psychologically.

Whether it was the Black Card's 'Divine Body Enhancement' (previously 'Physical Enhancement') or the White Card's 'Black Mist,' to put it nicely, it was confidence, to put it unpleasantly, if not outright 'self-serving,' it was at least self-centered.

Li Changzhou chose a Praying for Snow Technique that relied on 'overwhelming with Strength'.

This was a forced choice.

In Yang Qinglan's words, overpowering heaven by force was merely deluding oneself as human beings were born between heaven and Earth, and human strength was part of heaven; actions that seemed to 'overpower heaven' were still instances where heaven prevailed.

In other respects, it was still manageable, but in the Praying Technique, overpowering heaven by strength was like a person going to the front door to pick up a parcel and instead of going through, insisting on taking a roundabout path around Earth to the same front door.

Going around Earth was one thing, but Li Changzhou had to also compete in speed with the Third Heavenly Mother who was taking the straightforward path.

No wonder the Turquoise Pool 'thought of defeat before ensuring victory.'

He learned the Praying for Snow Technique in no time—unfortunately, mastering the Praying to Heaven Technique didn't mean it could be well utilized. Li Changzhou raised his head to look at the sky, suddenly leaping up, soaring from the ground.

As the immortals of the Heavenly Palace watched him ascend, reaching their level in midair, he suddenly transformed into a fierce Black Dragon.

"Roar!"

The Black Dragon's roar created a gust of wind that made the clothes of all the female immortals flutter.

Some of the lesser fairies even cried out in alarm, struggling to breathe.

When they opened their eyes, they could only vaguely see the dragon scales, dragon claws, and dragon tail of the Black Dragon through the clouds.

A layer of grey clouds obscured the form of the Black Dragon; as it danced, the air grew cooler, and soon, snowflakes began to fall.

"Divine Skills are vast! Boundless Magical Power!"

"Divine Skills are vast! Boundless Magical Power!"

Water demons shouted loudly, banging drums and waving flags.

The Third Heavenly Mother stood on the river surface, her delicate right hand now holding a lamp, the lampshade resembling a lifelike lotus.

The Treasure Lamp emitted a wonderful radiance, dyeing the Lotus Lamp with seven colors.

The Third Heavenly Mother murmured as she cast the spell, and under the influence of magical power and the mantra, the Lotus Lamp slipped from her hand and shot into the sky, suspended between heaven and earth.

The Treasure Lamp was small, but its endless might and its position between heaven and earth made it seem like a heavenly lamp, illuminating everything in the world.

The Lotus Lamp slowly rotated, and the gray clouds spun along with it, the color of the clouds turning darker and darker until the falling from those clouds upon the Mortal World was no longer snow but raindrops.

The rain wasn't heavy, but it was continuous, filling the air above the Tongtian River with a rainy mist.

"With this question, does it count as solved by the Third Heavenly Mother?" the Flowers Fairy said to the Purple Fairy.

"Fairy, don't rush!" Through the clouds, the clear and pleasing yet unrestrained voice of Li Changzhou came.

The Black Dragon spiraled, transforming back into Li Changzhou.

He stood in the sky, brought his hands together, and then fiercely rubbed them.

Boom!

Supreme Immortal Magical Power exploded rapidly, spreading swiftly.

From a distance, it appeared as if a layer of red clouds were spreading out, ready to envelop the sky.

Above the red clouds, the entire sky dried up. The heavy rain didn't leave the clouds but turned into mist before it could.

The Third Heavenly Mother's expression changed; her jade feet lightly stepped on a wave crest, flying toward the clouds like a swallow.

Despite the gale, which lifted her robes, she held the Treasure Lamp in her hand, her lips moving rapidly, chanting the mantra three times faster.

The black clouds spun faster, the once gentle drizzling rain now turned into a quick and fierce heavy rain.
