Li Ye ultimately floated upward.
After passing through an almost imperceptible spatial barrier, he already saw the sky full of lightning and those droplets rising against the thunder.
No matter how fierce the thunder was, it couldn't harm the small droplets—these droplets of Weichuan's water, accumulated and condensed over countless ages, each weighed as much as a mountain.
Let alone within them,
Li Ye knew just by looking that with his current strength, even blocking a single droplet would take all his effort and might still fail.
So why was this Celestial Tribulation so furious?
He knew it was aimed at the newly birthed Five-Colored Water Lotus, but even if that thing was made by him using Five-Colored Stone combined with Celestial Vein fragments, it only had some power to suppress and order the Water Vein, was such a violent Thunder Tribulation necessary?
Or maybe...
"Is it because of you?"
Li Ye looked down at the glassy hand chain, missing a bead, and suddenly felt it was quite possible. Could it be that using one was what made the Celestial Dao so angry?
As if hearing his innermost thoughts, the glassy hand chain flickered again, and the thunder in the Heavenly Dome was actually drawn towards this spot.
Just like he once saw Celestial Vein fragments falling, the thunder was on the horizon one moment and in the next, soundlessly crossed countless miles to explode right on the water's surface—
"Rumble!"
At the moment the thunder crashed, Weichuan's water surrounded it tightly.
The Deity's voice echoed beside Li Ye: "It seems to have some Resentment Qi towards you, but it's not too angry. Do you want to try touching these thunders?"
As he spoke, a thunderbolt still pulsating was engulfed by the water current and brought to Li Ye, that lightning, powerful enough to harm a Nascent Soul, struggled within a water sphere yet couldn't escape.
The purple lightning shimmered brightly.
Almost casting the surrounding waters in a hazy purple glow.
"Let me try..." Li Ye, knowing there was likely no danger, cautiously reached out a finger and lightly touched the purple lightning mass.
An electric tingling sensation instantly transmitted to his heart and mind.
But there was not even the slightest trace of pain.
Only a strange, aggrieved emotion.
This emotion was excessively intense, stirring something within Li Ye.
"Does the Celestial Dao also have emotions like us of the Human Race?" Li Ye suddenly realized a serious issue and asked, "If the Celestial Dao is sentient, could it be biased?"
—Just like it is now.
Weichuan Deity's voice held a hint of teasing: "Didn't you say human desires are the Celestial Dao?
The Celestial Dao is exceedingly complex, how you practice your path, it responds accordingly.
You think it is sentient, and so it will be for you.
If you study the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique, this realm and the Celestial Dao will follow suit, becoming emotionless."
This is the first time Li Ye heard that the Celestial Dao would treat practitioners differently based on their cultivation paths, wasn't it said 'the Celestial Dao is not benevolent, treating all creatures like dogs'? Shouldn't it be impartial?
"You think this is strange?" Weichuan Deity continued: "This is a treatment that only our sect's disciples receive, established by our ancestors to regulate the cosmos with specific strictures.
Except for us, the Celestial Dao is impartial to all.
But this is not entirely a boon, if ill-will arises... heh."
At this point, Weichuan Deity said no more, and instead brought more lightnings forth.
I wonder if the Celestial Dao realized these lightnings were actually gathered for Li Ye, so it pretended to resist a bit, and then half-heartedly delivered the lightnings over.
After listening to Weichuan Deity's explanation, Li Ye understood immediately.
This truly was special treatment, but if a practitioner truly strayed, perhaps the entire world would loathe and treat him with cold cruelty, at that time it really would be Heaven's wrath and Man's scorn.
"So that's it."
Li Ye nodded and then focused on these lightnings, considering he removed the hand chain and carefully touched it.
The lightnings all surged into the hand chain, and in the vacant spot where a bead was missing, a circular shape composed of lightning faintly appeared.
So, were these lightnings meant to repair his hand chain?
Such a grand display to repair a hand chain?
He thought he had seen enough strange and wondrous things, but this was odd beyond measure, could this be the Celestial Dao's extravagance, using Thunder Tribulation just to fix a hand chain?
Here Li Ye was bizarrely fixing the hand chain, while up in the sky, the Sect Leader discerned some clues: "Human desire and Celestial Dao, perhaps because this lad is generous enough, and thus the Celestial Dao is generous.
After all, it is part of his Golden Core Path, just giving one up, and using Five-Colored Stone to fashion the Primordial Spirit Plant.
Thinking it over, the Primordial Spirit Plant spreading in this world in the future, wouldn't it ultimately benefit the Celestial Dao itself? No wonder it rushed over."
The Sect Leader shook his head, with hands clasped behind his back, leisurely walked away like an elder, even commenting as he went: "Looks like I need to get used to this, the Celestial Dao is probably going to visit frequently in the future.
Su Xing didn't let me rest easy, and now his disciple is the same, sigh, being a Sect Leader always means cleaning up their messes."
With that, he left directly.
Leaving Celestial Sound Thunder God and the observing Deities exchanging glances.
This Sect Leader lad really knows how to play coy, can't suppress the smile on his face, having such disciples and yet complains, truly thinking they don't know how the Sword Sect next door would wish for such troubles?
