Chapter 258 - 236: The City of Thunder is Hard to Tame_2
"Without thunder today, who is using divine powers to wield lightning? Are they not afraid of the Jade Emperor’s blame?" Universally Transformative Heavenly Venerable of Thunder, Responsive to the Nine Heavens Wen Zhong could not help but frown.
He was the one in charge of the Thunder Department, taking orders from Duke Gouchen, and commanding all the thunder in the world.
Although there were many uses of thunder in Taoist arts, such as the True Method of the Five Thunders that Zhang Daoling had established in the Shangqing Sect of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, which was extremely adept at using, these were considered "minor supernatural powers". The "Great Divine Power" like that of Chi Songzi who drew Heavenly Dao Divine Thunder from above the Nine Heavens was the true Divine Sky Taoist Magic!
A hundred and eight Ancient Thunder Cannons arranged in the formation of the Heavenly Gangs and Earthly Fiends were lined up on the city walls, booming in succession. Even Wukong, who swung his Jingu Bang so fiercely that not a drop of water could get through, felt at a great disadvantage.
One of the Ancient Thunder Cannons struck him in the chest, and since he was primarily a Primordial Spirit with his flesh still outside the Sea of Thunder, the blow made him dizzy, almost causing him to faint.
"The City of Thunder from the Ancient Thunder God truly is terrifying. The power of these one hundred and eight Ancient Thunder Cannons is astonishing! The question is whether the City of Thunder is now without a master, and how exactly one should go about subduing it?" Wukong pondered to himself.
In the era of the Three Emperors, there was no Heavenly Court above, and it was the capable beings under the Three Emperors who controlled the thunder and dew. Chi Songzi, for example, served as the Rain Mage during the time of Shennong, imparted the Taoist arts of immortality to Shennong, often debated with the Queen Mother of the West on Mount Kunlun, leading Shennong’s daughter to become an immortal. He was highly regarded.
This Ancient Thunder God was also a figure from the era of the Three Emperors, in charge of thunder, with mana that was not inferior to Chi Songzi’s, at least on the level of the creator.
During that golden age of ancient times, creators weren’t few, with nearly a hundred battling under the command of Chi You and under the Emperor.
