Hummm-
An inexplicable Daoist rhyme enveloped his whole body.
Xuanqing’s eyes turned silver-white.
All things in the world looked different to him; even the wind blowing on the mountain, from the angle, speed, to humidity, was unveiled in its entirety as if it were an unfolded scroll.
Absolute reason, absolute wisdom, this… is the Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom!
“Condense Fog!”
Xuanqing extended his right hand, and his index finger and thumb made a snapping sound.
In an instant-
The weather changed abruptly.
The moisture at the peak of the mountain seemed to have been captured by an invisible great hand, which then forcibly condensed it into a cloud of fog.
“Form Clouds!”
Xuanqing’s mouth opened slightly, softly uttering these two words.
The mana flowing all over his body began to surge wildly, then, in a peculiar way, enveloped the condensed fog.
The fog was continually compressed.
Finally,
A structure appeared, totally different from ordinary thin fog. It was pure and flawless from top to bottom, looking as soft as cotton.
A cloud… had formed!
[Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom mode has been deactivated!]
Just in time.
At this moment, the one-minute Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom mode consumed completely.
It was hard to imagine that such a complex task had been successfully accomplished in the Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom mode on the first try, and it even took just a minute.
Puff-
The cloud that had originally been condensed exploded when the state of Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom was deactivated, vanishing with the mountain breeze.
Xuanqing closed his eyes tightly as he recalled the process of casting Condensing Fog and Forming Clouds under the state of Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom.
A moment later.
Xuanqing opened his eyes.
“Condense Fog!”
This step didn’t pose any surprises. Even without activating Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom, he could do it, albeit a little slower.
“Form Clouds!”
A large amount of fog began to compress continuously.
Puff-
With a soft sound, the fog dispersed.
“It failed!” Xuanqing muttered softly. Thinking about the steps just now, he eventually realized that his proficiency was not enough.
“It seems 1 need to activate Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom multiple times and fully comprehend the Condensation into Cloud before I can use it freely in a normal state.”
“Activate Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom for 1 minute!”
Xuanqing murmured to himself.
While Xuanqing was tirelessly practicing Condensing Fog into Cloud on Qingping Mountain.
Elsewhere.
In the Meteorological Observation Bureau of Liucheng County-
Two workers were sitting idly in front of the device, staring blankly at the various fluctuating lines on the screen.
Suddenly-
A blue line jumped abruptly.
“Eh?”
“What’s up, Old Zhang?” One of the workers heard the soft sound of surprise from his companion and asked curiously.
Pointing at the screen, Old Zhang said, “This is the direction of Qingping Town.
The humidity has risen sharply. It seems like there will be a heavy rain.”
“Oh, it indeed is going to rain heavily!”
The worker raised his eyebrows slightly and began operating on his laptop.
“Then I’ll modify the announcement text message.”
While he was editing the text message notice, Old Zhang casually said to his colleague, “A Taoist temple in our county has recently become popular. Do you know?”
“I know, I know. It’s over there in Qingping Town. 1 think it’s because some
Taoist priest is there…”
The two were having an animated conversation.
Suddenly.
On the weather testing instrument, the blue line that was originally fluctuating dropped again, as if nothing had changed at all.
“Old Zhang, Old Zhang, take a look, it doesn’t seem like it’s going to rain anymore in Qingping Town, the heavy rain phenomenon disappeared?”
“Huh, how did it suddenly disappear?”
Old Zhang rubbed his eyes carefully, but the blue line on the instrument indeed returned to its previous value, looking like a clear day.
“Forget it, the weather is constantly changing, might as well set it to automatically send reminders.”
Old Zhang helplessly shook his head.
He set the instrument to send a reminder text message whenever there was a significant change in humidity, indicating possible rainfall.
“Old Zhang, are you done? Let’s go eat.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
Old Zhang finally glanced at the instrument, found no change, waved to his companion, and put on his removed shoes.
Just like that.
The two left the meteorological observation station, heading toward the canteen.
However.
Soon after the two had just left the room, the blue line on the equipment, which represented humidity and rain, began to fluctuate violently again.
[Ding – Rain today, humidity… Text message has been automatically sent, please check!]
A log report was displayed on the screen at the bottom right corner of the instrument.
On the other hand.
In Qingping Town.
Many people flocked to the town due to the fire at Qingping Temple, so much so that the town’s hotels were becoming scarce.
At this moment.
The guests who lived in the small town and were planning to go up the mountain to burn incense, their phones simultaneously received a text message.
[Kind reminder: there will be rain in the direction of Qingping Town today, humidity…. Citizens are advised to bring an umbrella when going out!]
“It’s going to rain, should we still go to Qingping Temple? 1 heard the mountain road over there isn’t easy to navigate.”
“Then let’s not go. The scenery in the small town is quite beautiful. We can go tomorrow!”
Two young men were lying under the blanket, chatting while looking at their phones.
However.
Before they had finished a conversation, they received another message from the local meteorological bureau.
[Kind reminder: it will be clear in the direction of Qingping Town today, humidity…. Citizens can travel without worries…]
???
The two young men looked at their phones, “What’s going on? In this day and age, how can there be inaccurate weather forecasts?”
“Exactly! One moment it’s raining, the next moment it’s sunny. You’re messing with us. If you dare, you should again…”
[Kind reminder: In the direction of Qingping Town…]
The corners of the young man’s mouth twitched slightly.
He put down his phone, deciding not to look at the weather forecast on it anymore, and walked over to the window to gaze at the sky.
The sky was cloudless, and there was no heavy feeling in the air.
“If it rains today, 1 swear, I’ll swallow the rain!” The young man looked a bit upset.
On the other hand.
At the top of Qingping Mountain.
Hundreds of meters up in the sky.
A young man in Taoist robes, with methodical steps, was sitting on a thick and white cloud. It was Xuanqing who had exercised his “Treading the Clouds”.
“No wonder it’s said that in Journey to the West, characters like Monkey King and Zhu Bajie didn’t want to ride the clouds with Tang Xuanzang.”
With a smile on his face, Xuanqing touched the cloud beneath him.
It was soft to touch and had a light texture. Any ordinary object placed on this cloud would surely leak through it.
In such a situation, probably only with the Light Body state activated, one could safely land on this cloud.
“The sky is getting lighter, incense guests should be climbing up the mountain soon, 1 better return first!”
