Chapter 51: Ten-Direction Ten-Thousand Thunder Array

But my master had no time to pay attention to me at the moment. He was busy giving instructions on the formation. From his occasional remarks, I could tell that he was going to set up a truly large-scale formation, one that was ten times more powerful than the Thunder Formation we had set up in the deserted village.

This should be the highest thunder formation in our lineage鈥攖he Ten-Direction Thunder Formation. This formation can cause thunder to fall within a hundred miles. In theory, as long as a few key points of the formation are not removed, thunder will not stop falling here.

But this is only in theory. A formation is a magical thing that can itself cause the heavens and earth to move. However, no matter what, once it reaches a certain scale, it also needs a person to preside over the formation. The larger the formation, the more people it needs. According to the formation, it can itself cause the power of heaven and earth, just like wind, rain, thunder and lightning, but it also consumes the power of the person presiding over it, but the consumption is much smaller than the casting of magic.

However, when presiding over the formation, the output of power cannot be stopped for a moment. Even if it is a slow trickle, there will come a moment when it runs out. Therefore, this formation can only theoretically be continuously struck by lightning.

If the power of this Ten-Direction Ten-Thousand-Thunderbolts Array was only this, it would be fine, but it has another special feature. It is the ability to summon real heavenly thunderbolts. I am no stranger to the art of summoning thunderbolts, but the thunderbolts summoned are only natural thunderbolts, not real heavenly thunderbolts.

In Taoism, there are many types of thunder and lightning, including demon thunder, water thunder, dragon thunder, god thunder, and heavenly thunder. The thunder and lightning of nature are only water thunder. Demon thunder and dragon thunder do not belong to the category of human beings, and god thunder is only a legend nowadays, because it is only the thunder that can be activated by people who have at least achieved the status of a fairy. The final heavenly thunder is the thunder of punishment, which can destroy the world and punish the great evils of the world.

However, all thunder and lightning are from the same source, just like brothers who have similar characteristics. Water thunder is naturally inferior to heavenly thunder, but it contains a hint of the true meaning of thunder.

The Five Thunder Curses, the ones I use to summon the thunder are just water thunder, but they contain more of the meaning of thunder. The Curses of the Demon Thunder and the Dragon Thunder have been lost. In the glorious days of Taoism, there were many people who could use the Five Thunder Curses in their entirety, not to mention the true hermits hidden in the mountains and forests who did not care about the world.

This Ten-Direction Ten-Thousand Thunder Array, because it has bred so many thunders, can occasionally produce a trace of true heavenly thunder. This heavenly thunder may not be much different from ordinary thunder for ordinary people, but it is indeed the most effective against evil things in the world that have already incurred karma and sins.

The old monsters and giant bugs in the valley have already violated the natural order of things in some way, so the power of the natural thunder is disproportionately great when it strikes them.

Birth, aging, sickness and death are the most basic laws of nature. Apart from accumulating one’s own good deeds and blessings to change, any forced change is against the law of nature. Even Taoists, to a certain extent, cannot avoid the thunderstorm. Therefore, Taoists generally do more good deeds, just for this illusory thunderstorm.

However, the effect is minimal. For this reason, I asked my master why.

The master said, “The purpose of doing good is to reduce the damage of the thunderstorm. Do you think that kind of good can create much good karma?”

Since the Ten-Direction Ten-Thousand-Thunderbolt Array has been set up, the master will definitely preside over the center of the array. The person at the center of the array is naturally the one who will trigger the real thunder. After all, lightning strikes without discrimination, and it is up to people to trigger it and strike the person it is meant to strike.

Seeing that I was in a daze, Brother Chengxin couldn’t help but ask, “What are you thinking about?”

I was about to answer, but then I heard someone ask, “What are these old monsters doing?” It turned out that the searchlights had been trained on the old monsters, who had been running around and ignoring us, and their behavior had aroused people’s curiosity.

I followed the light and looked over. In the dark night, everything under the light was so clear. I saw at a glance that the bugs had already eaten the bodies of the women, and except for the old monster with the big belly, all the other old monsters were lying under the bellies of the bugs.

Although the people here are also well-informed, this strange scene is the first time they have seen it, no wonder they are exclaiming.

But I immediately thought of what I had seen in the insect room, the straw-like suction pipe of the demon. I suddenly understood what the old monsters were going to do.

The old monsters did not use witchcraft to fight us, nor did they run away for a chance of survival. They had made up their minds and placed all their hopes on the worms, on that old monster with the big belly. They were “going to their deaths generously,” and might be sucked into pieces like the old monster I saw in the worm room.

At this time, the master had already finished instructing the people who were setting up the formation. Seeing this scene, he shouted even louder, telling the people to hurry up. I looked over there in the light, and saw the old monster with the big belly sitting in the middle of the worms, watching his longtime partner die.

Just watching, I felt something was wrong. The six old monsters had all entered the bellies of the six female worms, but one old monster with a big belly had not. There should have been one more female worm.

I couldn’t figure it out, but it wasn’t the person who had set up the formation, so I was sitting there feeling a bit depressed. Chengxin was originally with me, but at this time I saw him already running to talk to that student-like supernormal person. He is like this, always a hundred times more enthusiastic about women than men.

“There’s another female insect in the belly of that old monster. If Gao Ning is still hiding somewhere, this is the scene he would be in.” All the formation personnel had already taken their positions. Master took advantage of the gap to come to my side and looked at me with a puzzled expression. He suddenly said to me, “You’re not the only one who’s puzzled.

A father knows his son better than anyone else. My master is, in a way, my father. He knows what I am thinking.

After saying this, he left. He suddenly mentioned Gao Ning, and I was extremely worried. Didn’t Gao Ning run away without a trace? Didn’t the master worry?

“Master, since you spent half a year arranging the feng shui array and destroyed the underground caves of the Black Rock Miao village, why did you still take me to the village and make a circle underground?” I looked at the back of my master and asked loudly. I really couldn’t figure out why the arduous journey to the village was for.

At this point, Uncle Wang came up to me and patted me on the head, saying, “Silly boy, of course you have to go, otherwise how can you set up the final eye of the formation? Control the direction of the water flow? Your master has been placing this along the way according to a certain method.” As he spoke, Uncle Wang took out a handful of black and white stones, which are commonly used in the formation. They are round, black and white stones, but to be effective, they must be nurtured by Taoist people, but they are really not precious.

“Finally, your master will have to insert the flag of the eye of the formation to guide the water out, otherwise the trapped water will not come out, causing a landslide, which will be a big cause and effect. This trip is a must, and he is the final person to complete this great formation. Don’t ask your master anything. Although the Ten-Direction Ten-Thousand Thunder Formation is extremely powerful, it is still debatable whether it can destroy those things. Your master carefully laid out this plan, and he was exhausted and anxious.” Uncle Wang said to me.

I felt a wave of guilt and worry, but there was nothing I could do now. I didn’t have much power, and it was impossible for me to participate in the formation. No matter how exquisite the magic was, it was useless.

At this time, under the light, I had already seen with my own eyes that an old monster had been sucked into a human corpse. The fluorescent light on the female worm began to shine brightly, and the entire worm became active.

The female insect began to crawl around, still in a state of confusion after coming to her senses. However, wherever it went, the insect people would get up and sway around, not knowing what to do.

Then, the female worm sucked the old monsters dry one after another. The old monster with the big belly had already gotten up and started chanting strange incantations. The sound was so loud and so intense that it could be heard all the way up on the hill where we were. Everyone who heard it got goosebumps and couldn’t explain it. It felt like there was a strange and crazy power inside.

Strangely, the old monster with the big belly didn’t do anything with his hands and feet. He just got up and knelt on the ground again, prostrating himself to something.

Seeing this, I knew that there was some danger. When the female worms fully woke up, would these worm people be the first to act? Those difficult guys, I’m afraid of thunder! Then, the female worm, the characteristic of sucking people’s lives…

I was worried for my master, and at this time, my master stood in the center of the formation, which was the most forward position, and began to recite a prayer. Before any powerful formation of a certain level is activated, a prayer must be recited first, sincerely praying for the power of heaven and earth.

The prayer was very short. After the master finished, he shouted, “Cast the spell!”

This was a spectacular scene that I will never forget, and it was the beginning of the show!
