The Cold and Aloof Palace Master's Daily Demon-Slaying Life

Chapter 135 A Young Man Meets a True Lord, Like a Frog in a Well Looking Up to See the Bright Moon (First Update)

The aftershocks, though still astonishing, were insignificant compared to the apocalyptic tsunami and were quickly calmed and absorbed by the vast ocean surface.

A cataclysmic disaster, capable of reshaping the landscape of the East and causing endless carnage, was thus resolved with a nonchalant air.

Along the eastern coast, countless ordinary people, who had just been fleeing in terror due to the strange changes in the heavens and earth, now saw the tsunami that had blotted out the sky disappear into thin air. They all thought it was a divine miracle, and knelt down in the direction of the ocean, kowtowing repeatedly, calling out the names of various gods and immortals, and expressing their gratitude with tears in their eyes.

Those low-level rogue cultivators from the Eastern Lands who were unaware of the existence of "True Lord Kanshui" were all dumbfounded, staring at the calm sea, their hearts filled with boundless shock and awe.

They guessed that it must have been a reclusive, supremely powerful figure from the East who had intervened to avert this catastrophe.

Only the high-ranking core figures of the ancient and profound sects in the Eastern Land, upon sensing the supreme Daoist aura contained in those two "step back" commands—a power that transcends ordinary water techniques and is almost the "source of Kan water"—instantly understood the identity of the person who made the move.

It is Kan Shui Zhenjun.

He is the supreme ruler who holds the "Kan Fruit Position", is in harmony with the Kan Water Avenue, and sits in the Tianya Haige Pavilion.

"Quickly! Lead all disciples of the sect toward the Central Plains to express our gratitude to True Lord Kanshui for saving our lives."

The sect leaders and elders, those usually unapproachable figures who seemed like mountains, all unhesitatingly joined the fray at this moment.

They straightened their clothes, their expressions extremely respectful, even somewhat fanatical, and faced the Central Plains, kneeling down in unison to pay their respects.

Behind them, the dark mass of disciples also knelt down in unison, their hearts filled with indescribable shock.

"From billions of miles away, with just two words, the world-ending tsunami was subdued and retreated—is this the power of a True Monarch?"

"It's practically identical to a legendary deity."

"So this is what the highest realm we cultivators pursue is like—"

Countless young disciples looked up at the extremely respectful backs of the sect's patriarchs, and then gazed at the ocean in the east, which had returned to "calm," feeling a surge of hot blood rushing through their chests.

At this moment, they felt an infinite longing and fervent fantasy for the realm of the "True Lord" that they had only glimpsed today.

Many exceptionally talented young men believe themselves to be superior to all others and worthy of attaining enlightenment. They already fantasize about sitting on the throne of a true lord and ruling the world.

The East has never produced a True Lord, so I will fill this void.

Kan Shui Zhenjun paid no heed to the prostrations and worship of these cultivators from the Eastern Lands. Perhaps his true form was still in the endless distance of the Heavenly Ends of the Earth, or perhaps he had long since transcended worldly affairs.

But this casual act of stopping the waves has already shown the world, especially to the two True Lords who are currently engaged in a divine war in the East Sea, a certain attitude and demonstrated its unfathomable supreme power.

Even in the battle between the True Lords and Gods, the aftershocks are still so severe.

If there is no counterpart at the same level to intervene and check it, its destructive power is enough to overturn the continent and annihilate all living beings.

This great battle, which affected the entire Old Ten Continents, caused countless natural and man-made disasters, and made countless cultivators struggle for survival between life and death and occasionally obtain opportunities, finally came to a conclusion after lasting for three days and three nights.

No one witnessed the brilliance and devastation of that final blow deep in the East China Sea.

But when the morning light of the fourth day struggled to pierce through the still chaotic sky and shine upon the ravaged earth, all living beings, whether mortals or cultivators, clearly felt that something in the world had changed.

The first thing to be quelled was the "disaster of ink painting".

Those "word bugs" and "ink monsters" that had been rampaging for three days, crawling out of the paper and scrolls like a nightmare, suddenly stopped moving.

Immediately afterwards, as if all their power and "vitality" had been drained, the ink on their bodies quickly faded and dimmed, and their forms became thin.

Whether it was the "word worms" frantically burrowing into the seven orifices of living beings, or the powerful "ink monsters" fiercely fighting against cultivators, they were all transformed into puddles of ordinary ink stains devoid of any spirit within a few breaths, splashed onto the ground, walls, and clothes.

The "active Daoist aura" that enveloped the entire continent, making all the talisman water cultivators feel their magical power boiling and the Great Dao within reach, also receded rapidly like a tide, instantly declining to an extreme point, becoming stagnant, obscure, and difficult to communicate with.

The cultivators practicing the Great Dao of Talisman Water suddenly felt a strong emptiness and stagnation, as if they had fallen from the clouds into a swamp. The smooth flow of their magical power became difficult, and their supernatural abilities were greatly reduced.

This is the direct impact on cultivators after the Great Dao was "suppressed".

Immediately following was the cessation of the "Yin Thunder Incident".

The Yin Lightning that had been rampaging in the Yin Sha Lands has greatly reduced its ferocity and is gradually returning to a state where it can be restrained and guided by the formation.

The unusually active and dense Yin Thunder Daoist aura between heaven and earth began to slowly calm down and subside, unlike the decline of the Talisman Water Dao to the extreme, but instead returned to its former "normal state".

Those "thunder beasts" born from Yin thunder, no matter where they were or what they were doing, stopped all their movements the moment the Yin thunder's energy subsided. They all turned towards the East Sea, lowered their heads, and prostrated themselves, making the most devout kneeling posture.

They are collectively worshipping their "source," their "king."

After a short while, the forms of these thunder beasts gradually faded, transforming into pure Yin Thunder Spiritual Energy, returning to the world, leaving behind only a ground full of uncollected "Thunder Pearls" as proof that they had once existed.

The cultivators who were originally fighting the thunder beasts, upon seeing the thunder pearls scattered all over the ground, were filled with greed. Their eyes turned red, and each of them was thinking:

This is going to be a huge success for the factory.

In the rain-affected areas of the Old Earth Continent, the lightning in the clouds, which had been forcibly transformed into purplish-black, returned to its silvery-white color.

Some of the lightning magic cultivators who took the opportunity to undergo tribulation failed at the last moment, and died and their cultivation dissipated.

Some narrowly escaped the heavenly tribulation, though they were covered in wounds, their eyes gleaming with ecstasy and a deeper understanding of the Yin Thunder Dao.

The cessation of the strange celestial phenomena silently announced the outcome of the East China Sea battle.

Fu Shui Zhenjun has been defeated.

The Yin Thunder Path suppressed the Talisman Water Path.

From then on, in terms of the laws of heaven and earth on the old continent, the power of Yin Thunder will have a certain degree of innate restraint on the power of Talisman Water.

Thunder magic cultivators who practice the Yin Thunder Dao will have a clear attribute advantage when fighting against water magic cultivators who practice the Talisman Water Dao.

This is the invisible punishment of the laws of heaven and earth for the "defeat" of the Great Dao, and it will last for a considerable period of time.

This battle between the True Lords, which lasted only three days but felt as long as three hundred years, has finally come to an end.

It has no audience, and its process is destined to become a top secret, submerged in the long river of time.

However, the terrifying impact and far-reaching consequences it caused have been deeply imprinted on every inch of the old continent and in the memory and destiny of every living being.

Countless lives perished in the "Disaster of Ink and Wash" and the "Calamity of Dark Thunder".

Countless cities were reduced to ruins, countless small sects were damaged, and countless cultivation families lost their lineage.

The memory of civilization is left largely blank due to the "revitalization" of ink marks.

The five directions of the land: east, west, south, north, and center.

Apart from the super sects with the Manifestation True Monarch in charge, which are unaffected by this calamity, all other forces have suffered losses and need time to heal their wounds and recover their strength.
