The snow-capped peaks are like a fairyland, and the plateau grasslands are filled with herds of cattle and sheep.
Jiang Yuebai came out of the Vajra Platform and saw Yun Shang hiding behind a Vajra statue, secretly observing the monks coming and going.
"Achang." Jiang Yuebai walked over.
Yun Chang walked out from behind the Vajra statue. "Is everything going well?"
Jiang Yuebai pursed his lips, thought for a moment and said, "It's... going well, right? Buddha Wuchen has been in the life and death retreat. The abbot of the Vajra Platform means that they are disciples of Buddhism and do not want to participate in the disputes in the earth spirit world. However, if the monks in the Vajra Platform are willing to participate in the Fuyao Fairy Meeting, the Vajra Platform will never stop them."
Yun Shang nodded slowly, "So are you going to get the spirit stone?"
"Jin Gang Tai will not be directly involved in this matter, but as long as their monks participate, it can be regarded as a statement of their stance. Although they can't get the lion's share, each of their monks must pay the registration fee. It's neither a loss nor a gain, but it's better than nothing."
"That's great, where to go next?"
"Go to Lei Ze, take a look at Prajna Temple, and then go to Tieyu Country to find Shen Huaixi."
"good!"
There are grasslands all over Jingangtai, and the area is vast and sparsely populated, so there is nothing fun to do. The two of them took the Poyun Chong and headed south, and arrived at the border of Lei Ze in just a few days.
There were still dark clouds hanging low over Lei Ze, and thunder was rumbling. Everywhere you looked was a gray-black wasteland with no grass growing.
"Lie Que, back home~"
Jiang Yuebai released Lieque from the lotus platform world. As soon as Lieque landed, he first bowed his head in alertness, and glanced around with confusion. Then he found that the air was full of thunder energy, and there was an indescribable sense of familiarity, and he immediately became excited.
"Go ahead and have fun."
Lieque rushed into the Thunder Lake with curiosity and exploration, chasing the thunder that kept falling.
Jiang Yuebai did not release Jixiang and the others to exploit the land, mainly because he thought that the resources in the Earth Spirit Realm were not as abundant as those in the Upper Realm, and the cultivators in the Earth Spirit Realm did not have as much freedom as the cultivators in the Upper Realm and could only leave after becoming gods.
So resist the urge to exploit the land and leave more resources for the monks in the Earth Spirit Realm.
After all, the resources in Lei Ze are not necessities for her now.
Jiang Yuebai had never understood why the nine star alliances had to lock up the cultivators of the Earth Spirit Realm until they reached the Spirit Transformation Stage before releasing them. Later, he thought about it carefully and realized that only where there are people can there be life, and only then can infinite possibilities be created.
Otherwise, once the Earth Spirit Realm is released, I am afraid that the cultivators in it will choose to leave the Earth Spirit Realm when they are able to do so. At that time, the Earth Spirit Realm will completely become a wasteland.
Just like Ao Juan, it was chased and blocked by various forces in the North Sea for hundreds of years. Only under this pressure could it continue to attack Longmen and finally transformed into Yinglong.
If it were allowed to run free, it would have disappeared long ago in order to survive. Without the pressure, it is not certain whether it could transform into a dragon.
"Lieque was born in Huaxi Valley. This is its first time in Lei Ze."
Yun Shang said this and pulled out a spirit beast bag from her waist.
"Lingye, you should go and play too."
A Lei Hou that was larger and stronger than Lie Que was released by Yun Shang. It was covered in dazzling silver lightning and looked ferocious. Its cultivation had also reached the late Jindan stage.
"Not bad, Ah Chang, the Thunder Hound you raised looks much stronger than the one I raised." Jiang Yuebai praised generously.
Yun Chang said shyly, "It can't compare to your Lie Que, which is small but exquisite. It has been fed with Guishui thunder and Jianggong thunder since it was a child. Ling Ye is just slightly stronger than ordinary Lei Hou."
Speaking of this, Jiang Yuebai suddenly remembered that Guishui Thunder and Jianggong Thunder appeared in the depths of Lei Ze all year round.
"Come on, I'll take you to the depths of Lei Ze."
The two of them walked quickly all the way, with Lieque and Lingye following behind them.
Thunder kept falling from the clouds. Lieque would aim carefully every time, then suddenly jump up and catch the thunder with his mouth, looking extremely lively.
Compared to it, Ling Ye was exceptionally steady, like a loyal guard, with a stern face, always following Yun Shang's side, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, alert to any possible danger.
Several times, other Thunder Hounds appeared around, but they were forced to retreat after being threatened by Ling Ye.
"Ah Chang, why are the spirit beasts you raise so well behaved and self-aware, but the ones I raise are so naughty? They are sneaky and play tricks on me? I have been using your rhetoric to teach them a lesson!"
Jiang Yuebai covered his face, he couldn't bear to watch it. It was obviously a lion, but at this moment it looked like a dog.
Yun Chang covered her mouth and chuckled, "The beast follows the nature of its master. This just proves that you are good at 'teaching by example'!"
Jiang Yuebai laughed, "You have even learned to tease me."
At this moment, they both sensed an unusual aura ahead and stopped and stepped back.
"Lie Que, Ling Ye, come back."
Yun Shang called out, and Ling Ye immediately returned to Yun Shang's side. Only Lie Que glanced at Yun Shang, and when he saw that Jiang Yuebai didn't say anything, he snorted and rushed to the front.
"Lie Que!"
"It's fine."
Lieque stepped into the trap, and six golden lights suddenly rushed out from the black sand ground, forming a cage in mid-air, suppressing the lightning on Lieque's body while shrinking inwards to seal it.
Jiang Yuebai's eyes flickered, "Why does this look like the runes I used to make the Five Elements Lightning Beads?"
Lieque stood in the trap, facing the approaching golden runes, he bared his teeth in contempt, and black and white lightning suddenly exploded on his body, sweeping across the area.
The golden rune was instantly crushed into powder by the lightning, without any resistance.
A beam of light rushed out from behind the misty storm. It was a male cultivator in the late Jindan stage, with a sign of the Beast Spirit Sect hanging on his body.
The man was furious at first, but after seeing the two of them clearly, he showed a look of joy towards Yun Shang.
"Master Bai Ling!"
The other person's gaze was scorching, and Yun Shang moved closer to Jiang Yuebai uncomfortably.
"I, I was just passing by here and had no intention of destroying your trap."
The man waved his hands hurriedly, "It's okay, it's okay. This trap for catching thunder beasts was originally created by Bai Ling Zhenren. I am just showing off my skills in front of an expert. I wonder what Bai Ling Zhenren thinks of my trap. Is there anything that needs to be improved?"
"Very, very good..."
Jiang Yuebai, who was completely ignored, saw Yun Shang almost hiding behind her, and hurriedly said to the man, "We have something else to do, so we'll leave first. You can have fun by yourself."
After saying that, he took Lieque, Lingye, and Yunshang with him and disappeared in a flash.
"Master Bai Ling, when will you come to the Beast Spirit Sect again—"
The man was still shouting eagerly behind her. Yun Shang blushed and ran faster than Jiang Yuebai.
Jiang Yuebai thought Yun Shang had become less afraid of people in recent years and had even teased her just now, but he didn't expect her to still be the same.
"Insects are naturally easily frightened and afraid of people. I am infected with the insect poison, so I have been affected to some extent." Yun Shang explained.
"It was you who invented the trap to catch the Thunder Hound. Yun Shang, you are so awesome!" Jiang Yuebai continued to praise.
Yun Chang smiled shyly, "It's not that great. I was inspired by the Five Elements Lightning Bead you gave me. I thought that since the intangible Thunder Hound cannot be captured, could I use the same method as the Thunder Yuanli to seal the Thunder Bead to catch it? Then when I was in Lei Ze with Ge Yuchan, I kept trying..."
"By the way, your Taoist name is 'Bai Ling'?"
Yun Shang nodded, "Yes, my master, True Lord Cang Huo, gave me this name. He said that he hoped I would make more noises like a lark. It also means to control all the lark and test all the lark a hundred times."
Jiang Yuebai smiled, "Master Canghuo is quite good at naming~"
The two chatted as they walked. With Jiang Yuebai protecting them, no matter how many thunders came from the Thunder Lake, they would not be enough for her to swallow. There was no danger at all.
In less than three days, the two entered the deepest part of Lei Ze where few people had ever set foot.
