Thunder Swamp’s center.
There was a pond, and arcs of electricity churned in the middle of it, making it froth as if it was boiling. This was the “Thunder Lake,” and at the center of this Thunder Lake was a flower that looked like a lotus. It stood tall in the center of the pond, and electricity flowed very cleanly past it from time to time. A tall platform was erected outside the Thunder Lake, and the Daoxing Tianzun sat atop it on a mat, surveying in all directions.
One hundred and eight disciples of the Heavenly Decree Palace were currently arranging a formation around the Thunder Lake.
“Reporting to the Tianzun, the Duel Number Star Array has already been arranged around the Thunder Lake.” Wei Hu walked up to the platform and reported.
The Daoxing Tianzun’s eyes were closed in rest, “The Three Houses and Five Sects?”
“The people from the Three Houses and Five Sects have already arrived. They are currently outside awaiting the Tianzun’s signal.”
“Let them in.”
“As you command.”
Very quickly, a group of cultivators cautiously arrived at the foot of the platform, walking as if on thin ice. These people wore distinctive clothes, their essence, qi, and spirit restrained. Their Five Elements powers were all refined to the peak of perfection, more or less Void Return Realm cultivation.
“Hm? Where is the Feng Clan?”
The Daoxing Tianzun noticed that only the Northern Continent’s greatest noble family, the Feng Clan, was missing from among these people.
“I heard that Feng Huang’er was supposed to come?” Wei Hu asked.
“Reporting to the Tianzun, we are not sure either, but the Feng Clan entered the Thunder Swamp before us.” A disciple from another noble family carefully answered.
Wei Hu looked to the Tianzun.
“This Feng Huang’er is exceptionally talented. Perhaps this Feng Clan thought to devour Sun Wukong’s Destiny.” Daoist Huanglong giggled from the side.
This actually was quite possible. Phoenix Immortal Sword Feng Huang’er was said to possess the bloodline of a phoenix, and she also had the instruction of a famous master. Although her cultivation was only Void Return Realm, she powers were tremendous. Even Wei Hu weas a bit afraid of her. The Daoxing Tianzun’s thinking was to not allow others to disturb her harvest of the Daydream, and as for the girl’s whereabout and goals, she was too lazy to ponder upon them. “Go on yourselves. Inform This One when you find Sun Wukong, and This One shall reward you.”
“As you command.”
Everyone withdrew.
“Let me go right now!! Or else This Great Deity will tell Master that you mistreated Nezha.” Little Nezha shouted from the side. She was still sealed by the Daoxing Tianzun’s talisman and was unable to break free no matter how she tried.
The Daoxing Tianzun walked before her: “Nezha, it is rare of you to visit the Northern Continent. This Master Venerable is allowing you to witness the Daydream. This is for your benefit.”
“Hmph, you’re clearly afraid that I’ll steal your Daydream. If you don’t let me out, I’ll tell on you to Master. You’re causing me trouble on purpose, you’re disgracing Master.” Nezha was unreasonable when she was angry.
The Daoxing Tianzun slightly frowned.
The Huanglong Zhenren said: “Elder Sister, let her go. Given Elder Sister’s Realm, how can Nezha pose a threat to the Daydream.”
“Nezha, you inform This One of your true purpose in appearing here.” The Daoxing Tianzun asked.
“How many times do you need Nezha to say it, This Great Deity is training and heard that the Thunder Swamp has an anomaly. Of course This Great Deity had to come look. Who knew Nezha would run into a petty Master Venerable.” Nezha was unhappy.
“Nezha, how dare you speak that way to the Tianzun.” Wei Hu was displeased.
The Daoxing Tianzun stopped Wei Hu. She slightly smiled and pondered the truth in Nezha’s words.
“Let This Deity out right now!!” Nezha threw a tantrum.
“Very well. This One shall let you go, but This One must first be clear with you. This One has waited for this Daydream for a hundred years. Nezha, do not be rash, otherwise This One will not show you mercy.” The Daoxing Tianzun said.
“I know.” Nezha twitched her mouth.
The Daoxing Tianzun released the talisman.
Nezha flew into the sky and stepped onto the Wind Fire Wheels, relaxing her body.
“Will you not thank the Tianzun for treating you leniently.” Wei Hu said.
“Go away. You captured Nezha and expect Nezha to thank you. Where in Primordial World would such a good thing happen.” Nezha was displeased, “Nezha will go to the Thunder Swamp and look around.”
“The Thunder Swamp has an Immemorial Strange Beast ‘Kui.’ Nezha, you actually can go slay it for training.” The Daoxing Tianzun smiled.
“This Great Deity will go look for it.” Nezha urged on the Wind Fire Wheels and fled towards the horizon.
“Tianzun, can this Nezha be believed?” Wei Hu asked.
“Even if we cannot, she should not dare covet the Daydream again.” The Daoxing Tianzun had already given a show of her strength. That she could trap Nezha as easily as turning over her hand informed the girl of her power.
“Tianzun, might she be involved with the monkey?”
The Daoxing Tianzun could not help but laugh. How could the Great Deity Of Three Altars And Seas be involved with the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven; there was absolutely no reason for these two to be involved with one another. “Elder Sister, are you not planning to capture that Kui for amusement?” The Huanglong Zhenren snickered.
“If Little Sister is interested, you can go capture it yourself. This One still needs to wait for the Daydream.” The Daoxing Tianzun saw that the sun and moon phenomenon was already no more than a few days away. It was time to prepare.
That Immemorial Strange Beast “Kui” was originally the steed of the Thunder God Marquis, so it would not be easy to handle.
The Huanglong Zhenren gasped. Her eyes turned, brimming with a crafty glint.
…
An enormous lake was at the Thunder Swamp’s center. The lake’s water was clean and clear, and when Qi Lin arrived, he already saw that the Heavenly Decree Palace was in the middle standing guard, having established a formation to welcome him.
“This will not be easy.”
Xian Zhen saw that the Daydream was surprisingly in the center of the lake, which was also where Qi Lin needed to be in order to forge the Ninth Cauldron.
When the sun and moon appear together, the daydream will bloom.
“Any other ways?” Xian Zhen asked.
“None. Forging the ninth and final cauldron needs water of the Thunder Swamp and Earlier Heaven Qi. This lake is the center of the Thunder Swamp, the place where the astral thunder is purest. The simultaneous appearance of the sun and moon is when Earlier Heaven Qi is produced. Back then, Emperor Yao had already soaked the Divine Cauldron in the Thunder Swamp for more than forty days. She was only missing the final Earlier Heaven Qi step, so the Divine Cauldron must be in the same spot.” Qi Lin very regretfully indicated they had no other choice.
“But how will you handle this situation?”
The Daoxing Tianzun had already established a formation at the Thunder Lake. With the Daydream in the middle of the lake, if Qi Lin wanted to refine the Ninth Cauldron, then he would absolutely need to be in the center of the lake. On the day the sun and moon rose together, he had to refine the Earlier Heaven Qi in. But the simultaneous rising of the sun and moon was also the moment the Daydream would bloom. The Daoxing Tianzun had been waiting for this opportunity; she fundamentally would not give him a chance for the cauldron.
If she learned that Qi Lin had the Earlier Heaven magic treasure, the Ninth Cauldron, perhaps the Daoxing Tianzun would seize it for her herself. It was also possible she would want it as the treasure to guard the Heavenly Decree Palace.
Qi Lin was aware of this.
“So we have to think of a way to forge the Divine Cauldron without anyone noticing.” Qi Lin said.
“This is impossible.” Xian Zhen was categorical.
The phenomenon with the sun and moon rising together would naturally draw people in. Now, the Thunder Lake even had the Strange Flower Daydream. The Daoxing Tianzun was even less likely to budge an inch, and she made the Heavenly Decree Palace’s disciples stand guard in formation around the Thunder Lake. To think of sneaking past without detection was the sleeptalk of fools.
“Brother, Nezha is back.” Qi Qi pointed in front.
Little Nezha circled around in the sky on her Wind Fire Wheels.
Qi Lin waved his hand to signal to her. The girl was in no hurry to descend and circled around in the sky to check if anyone was tailing her, “This Nezha looks immature, but she is not simple at all.” Xian Zhen said under her breath.
Qi Lin did not comment.
“First ask Nezha how the Heavenly Decree Palace is positioned. I need to devise a way to break the formation and forge the Divine Cauldron.
Xian Zhen was not very convinced Qi Lin could succeed but did not show it.
After Nezha reutrned, she bombarded Qi Lin with complaints.
Qi Lin stroked her head: “I know you’ve worked hard. What’s the situation with the Heavenly Decree Palace.”
“That whatever array is really strong.” Nezha explained.
“The Heaven And Earth Duel Number Star Array. This is one of the Heavenly Decree Palace’s strongest formations. It appears that the Daoxing Tianzun truly is sparing no effort for the Daydream.”
“Huh? The Divine Cauldron needs to be forged in that lake.” Nezha made a face when she heard this information: “This is impossible. She has that lake under strict watch, there is absolutely no way you have a chance.”
“She values the Daydream greatly.”
Qi Lin was pensive.
“Daydream, Daydream…”
“Actually, there may be a way.”
Qi Lin said.
“Does Your Highness truly have an idea?” Xian Zhen was a bit astonished. She did not believe Qi Lin would have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation..
“En, we definitely can’t do it on our own. We will need help.” Qi Lin pondered.
“Help, who can we even find for help right now?”
“The person who leaked our information, of course.”
Qi Lin chuckled.

Hell yeah! Get back at that bitch Nuba!
The hilarious thing about this is that the Daoxing Tianzun saw through her scheme and was like, “Bitch, please.”
