327: Ten Divine Thunders
About forty minutes later, a crisp female voice echoed in the starry sky: "Feng Ming? Is the Trial over?"
Feng Ming snapped out of it and smiled, "The Trial is over. Fortunately, I didn't fail my mission and successfully entered the top ten."
"That's good." Wu Qingyue's tone carried a hint of pride. "It wasn't in vain that I specially guided your cultivation and helped you look up so much Trial information. Don't forget, you must choose our Sect in the future; you can't choose other forces."
Feng Ming chuckled. "Naturally, I remember. Fairy has the grace of guidance toward me; I, Feng Ming, am by no means an ungrateful person."
He shifted the topic. "Coming up today, besides reporting the good news, there is one more matter to ask Fairy. May I ask if Fairy knows of the Ten Great Grandmist divine thunders?"
Wu Qingyue's voice carried a trace of curiosity. "Why do you suddenly ask about this? Did you encounter something related to divine thunders during the Trial?"
"Exactly." Feng Ming nodded and did not hide anything, recounting the events within the Trial.
"I encountered an evil cultivator during the Trial whose methods were bizarre and seemed related to divine thunders. Driven by curiosity, I wanted to understand them better."
"I see," Wu Qingyue said with realization. "The Ten Great Grandmist divine thunders are considered top-tier natural wonders even in the Upper Realm; it's just that they are rarely seen in your Lower Realm."
"Years ago, King Haoyue had a follower named Feng Lei who once accidentally obtained a wisp of Purple Heaven Divine Thunder. Relying on that wisp of divine thunder, he was invincible in your Lower Realm. But in the Upper Realm, that was merely the tip of the iceberg of divine thunder."
"A truly complete Grandmist divine thunder contains the power of Chaos from the beginning of heaven and earth. Its power is enough to destroy a space; it is by no means as simple as you perceive."
"Even the Jinglei Pavilion, which claims to have gathered all Ten Great divine thunders in the Upper Realm, has only collected fragments of them. No one has ever obtained a complete divine thunder."
Feng Ming's heart shook violently. He had always thought the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder within his body was top-tier, but he hadn't expected it to be just a wisp of a fragment!
Yet even if it was just a wisp, its power was already terrifying. If it were a complete divine thunder, that power would be simply unimaginable!
"Jinglei Pavilion? Is it also a top-tier force in the Upper Realm?" Feng Ming asked.
"Naturally," Wu Qingyue said indifferently. "The Jinglei Pavilion is famous in the Upper Realm for controlling divine thunders, and its strength is not at all inferior to our Sect."
"However, you don't need to delve into these matters for now. After you go to the Imperial Capital to be enfeoffed, if you are lucky enough to participate in the Immortal Worship Assembly, you will naturally come into contact with the forces of the Upper Realm."
"The most important thing right now is to secure a good position in the Imperial Capital. If your rank is too low, you won't be eligible to participate in the Immortal Worship Assembly."
Feng Ming nodded, but he didn't care much in his heart.
Given his performance in the Liangzhou Trial—slaying evil cultivators and suppressing the crowd—unless King Haoyue was blind, he certainly wouldn't give him an insignificant position.
Otherwise, what would be the point of this Trial?
Time was limited, and the effect of the starry sky enlightenment pill was about to run out. Feng Ming hurriedly said, "Please tell me the names of the Ten Great Grandmist divine thunders, Fairy, so I can memorize them."
Wu Qingyue didn't procrastinate either and said slowly, "The Ten Great Grandmist divine thunders are the Chaos Divine Thunder, Dutian Divine Thunder, Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, Taiyin Divine Thunder, Taiyang Divine Thunder, Nether Divine Thunder, Tiangang Divine Thunder, Disha Divine Thunder, Five Elements Divine Thunder, and Myriad Tribulation Divine Thunder."
Feng Ming silently memorized them and thought to himself: So there are so many divine thunders. If there is a chance in the future, I must find them to comprehend.
"Thank you, Fairy." Feng Ming cupped his hands. "Time is almost up; I'll head back first. If there's a chance in the future, I'll come back up to seek guidance from Fairy."
"Good." Wu Qingyue nodded. "Remember to perform well and strive to come to the Upper Realm as soon as possible. I'll be waiting for you at the Sect."
As her voice fell, Feng Ming's Divine Sense gradually blurred and then returned to his body, back to reality.
He slowly opened his eyes, a glint of sharp light flashing through them. His Divine Sense power was much stronger than before. Although he hadn't broken through to the Unity Realm yet, he had made remarkable progress.
He stood up, his mind still repeatedly pondering the information about the Ten Great Grandmist divine thunders and the Upper Realm forces Wu Qingyue had mentioned, completely failing to notice the abnormality in the room.
"Time's about up; I should head back." Feng Ming murmured softly, turning to leave.
Just then, from the corner of his eye, he glimpsed what seemed to be a figure on the bed. His footsteps paused, and he turned to look.
He saw Lu Qianqian lying on the bed, wearing a light pink lace nightgown, lying on her side, revealing a section of her fair thigh. She seemed to be sleeping very deeply, with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.
Feng Ming was stunned for a moment, then chuckled. He walked forward, picked up the nearby quilt, gently covered Lu Qianqian with it, and whispered, "This child, how old is she now, yet she still kicks off the covers while sleeping. She really won't grow up."
His tone carried a bit of helplessness but also a bit of doting. After speaking, he turned and walked toward the door, opening it gently and closing it softly, for fear of waking Lu Qianqian.
The door closed with a soft 'click'.
On the bed, Lu Qianqian snapped her eyes open. Her delicate little face instantly turned beet red. Her hands tightly gripped the quilt, and she trembled with rage.
Where was she asleep?
She had been faking sleep the whole time, waiting for Feng Ming to take the initiative to approach!
But she hadn't expected that Feng Ming would actually just cover her with a quilt and then leave!
She had prepared meticulously for so long, bathing and changing into the nightgown, and all she got in return was a 'won't grow up'?
Lu Qianqian was so angry she almost exploded on the spot, but she didn't dare make a sound. If she shouted, wouldn't she be completely exposed and lose face to the extreme?
She sat up abruptly, looking at the closed door, her eyes full of grievance, anger, and unwillingness. She pounded the pillow hard with both hands, roaring frantically in her heart:
"Feng Ming! I'm going to kill you!"
"You unromantic blockhead! You're literally infuriating me!"
"I dressed up so carefully like this, and you actually only covered me with a quilt? Are you blind!"
"After the enfeoffment in the Imperial Capital, I must follow you and sway in front of you every day to see when you'll finally wise up!"
She rolled back and forth on the bed, venting the anger in her heart, nearly crying from frustration.
In all her years, this was the first time she had been so proactive, only to be treated like a child by Feng Ming. How could she bear this?
It was unknown how long it took before Lu Qianqian finally calmed down, though the grievance in her eyes remained.
She hugged her knees, sitting on the bed and looking at the starlight outside the window, muttering softly, "Feng Ming, you big blockhead, I don't believe I can't catch you!"
Meanwhile, Feng Ming had already returned to his own room. He hadn't noticed Lu Qianqian's anger and was still pondering the matter of the Ten Great Grandmist divine thunders.
He took out paper and pen, writing down the names of the Ten Great divine thunders Wu Qingyue had mentioned one by one, and noted his own insights on the side, planning to delve deeper into them when he had the chance in the future.
Feng Da was guarding the courtyard. Seeing the light on in Feng Ming's room, he didn't ask much, just silently stood guard to ensure no one disturbed him.
