Outside the window, it was so dark that one couldn't even see their own fingers. An Clan was in a state of anxiety when the fetus suddenly moved, and the pain was unbearable.
The maidservant Xiao Huan was scared out of her wits by the dancing electric snakes, the deafening thunder, and the thunder that seemed to be ringing in her heart. Naturally, she didn't notice the abnormality of her mistress.
An Clan wanted to call for help, but there were hundreds of millions of thunderbolts outside, and her voice couldn't reach out of the room. Fortunately, she had the cultivation of the Astral Projection. After calming down, she began to give birth with her own strength.
In a trance, she seemed to see a noble and solemn purple thunderbolt enter her arms, and the entire room was illuminated by the purple light.
Wa ~! The loud cry of the baby sounded in the room, and An Clan suddenly became sober. Half happy and half relieved, she forced herself to carry the fetus.
After some time, the thunderbolts completely disappeared, and the sky became bright again. An Clan looked at the crying baby girl in her arms under the light. The exquisite eyebrows and eyes were secondary. In the middle of her forehead, there seemed to be a third eye, and there was a bright purple birthmark in the shape of a thunderbolt. At first glance, there seemed to be an illusion of flowing electricity, and it was very attractive. However, upon closer inspection, it seemed ordinary.
"Hehe, you were born in such horrifying thunderbolts, and you have a birthmark that looks like a thunderbolt mark on your forehead. Maybe you are contaminated by the essence of thunder and lightning, and you will be outstanding in the Dao of thunder and lightning in the future." The more An Clan looked at her daughter, the happier she was. Living in a big family in Canglan City, she naturally read many Daoist books. Since she was a cultivator herself, she remembered all kinds of records about children born after sensing the essence of thunder and lightning. When those children grew up, most of them became powerful figures, and there were even Dharma Masters.
Thinking of this, she shouted, "Xiao Huan, quickly invite the master and the young master here. Tell them that I have safely given birth to a baby girl who was born after sensing the essence of thunder and lightning."
Xiao Huan was frightened by the stern voice and jumped up, then her soul returned to her body, no longer in a daze, she quickly said, "Yes, Young Madam." Then she rushed out of the door and walked quickly towards the study.
…
Outside the gate of the Dong Mansion, the gatekeeper and the two guards had just recovered from the terror of seeing the sky full of thunder and lightning. They were sighing with each other when they suddenly saw a young Daoist walking over. He was dressed in a plain green Daoist robe. His appearance was extraordinary and he had a graceful bearing, giving him a sense of immortality.
"Is this Daoist here to visit? Please tell me your name so that I can inform you. " Although the gatekeeper had always been greedy, being in the cultivation world, how could he be blind? Although this Daoist looked young, he had an extraordinary temperament. Perhaps he was an expert in the realm of divinity. Since he was talking to his master as an equal, it was never wrong to be polite.
Shi Xuan chuckled, "I'm Shi Xuan, a Qi cultivator from Mount Penglai's Phecda Peak. I've just passed by your residence and saw a purple aura soaring into the sky. I divined it and knew that the young lady of your residence has an extraordinary talent.
Lady Yu reincarnated with her memories, and the ancient books and stories in her soul were as vast as the sea. Without mana to protect her body, a baby's body would not be able to withstand it. Therefore, after reincarnation, her memories would be automatically sealed. As she grew older, the seal would gradually loosen, and she would gradually regain her memories of her previous life.
What Shi Shuan needed to do was to protect her before that happened. If the seal was affected by many external factors and could not be undone by itself, he needed to wake her up. Although with Shi Xuan's cultivation, he could do it from thousands of miles away, but since he could not leave the Seven Immortals Great World for seven to eight years, it was not impossible for him to visit her directly. In the future, he could even tease Lady Yu about her embarrassing childhood. It must be said that there was some bad taste in it.
"Daughter? Don't spout nonsense, Daoist. There are only two young masters in my family. " The gatekeeper was stunned and confused. He thought to himself, "This Daoist is so talkative. Is he here to swindle people?"
Shi Xuan did not explain. He pointed to the door and said, "Go and report to your master, he will understand."
The gatekeeper hesitated for a while and decided to report. If it was proven that he was swindling people, the young Daoist would be the one at a disadvantage. At most, he would be in trouble. But if it was the truth, he might be sent to Canglan River at night if he delayed his master's business.
…
In the study room of the Dong residence, Dong Mingchao and his son, Dong Shaohui, stood in front of the window, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside. After a long time, he sighed and said, "I don't know where this thunderstorm came from, but it has such power. I have cultivated for almost two hundred years, but the thunder and lightning I have encountered is not even one ten-thousandth of this."
Dong Shaohui's face was filled with shock and horror. "I'm afraid this power has surpassed those Primordial Spirit Venerable's attack. It is comparable to the legendary Celestial Phenomenon that shook the world when the patriarch ascended to heaven!"
The two of them exclaimed a few more times. Then, they heard the gatekeeper asking for an audience. Dong Mingchao straightened his clothes and called him in. He asked, "What's the hurry?"
The gatekeeper hurriedly said, "Master, there is a young Daoist outside the door. He claims to be the Qi cultivator Shi Xuan from Tianji Peak, Penglai Mountain. He said that when he passed by, he saw the purple aura in the residence and knew that there was an extraordinary daughter here. So, he specially came to teach her for a few years."
"Penglai Mountain? Phecda Peak? Shi Xuan? " Dong Mingchao was a person who was passionate about cultivation. When he was young, he once traveled thousands of miles to Zhushan to listen to Dao. He often boasted that he was a disciple of Zhushan. Although he was limited by his talent and temperament, he could only reach the realm of divinity and become a wealthy person in Canglan City. However, he was very familiar with the various forces in the cultivation world. Qi cultivator Shi Xuan from Tianji Peak, Penglai Mountain, let alone together, he had never heard of them separately.
However, Dong Shaohui was concerned about something else. "Nonsense, I only have two children and they are both men. How can there be a daughter?"
As soon as he said that, a pretty young girl appeared outside the door. She bowed and said, "Master, Young Master, Young Madam just gave birth to a young lady. She asked me to come and report that the young lady was born from the lightning essence just now. She asked you to come and take a look."
"It's really a girl?!" Dong Shaohui was very surprised. Dong Mingchao and the gatekeeper also looked surprised.
Xiao Huan didn't know why her young master reacted this way. She nodded blankly and said, "It's indeed a girl."
Dong Shaohui suppressed his surprise and asked, "Father, could it be that what the Daoist Shi Xuan said is true? Is there really a purple aura in the sky? "
"If it's really born from the lightning essence, it's not impossible for the purple aura to rise to the sky. It seems that this Shi Michinaga is quite skilled. How many people could pay attention to such a thing under the lightning?! Quick, invite Shi Michinaga in! "Dong Mingchao ordered the gatekeeper.
Then, he walked up and down in the study excitedly and murmured, "Born from the lightning essence! Purple aura! I didn't expect that my granddaughter, Dong Mingchao, is so extraordinary. " As a cultivator who was obsessed with the path of Dao and had no progress himself, it was common for them to put their hopes on the younger generation. Dong Mingchao was no exception. Naturally, he was very excited. When the time came, he might be able to achieve the Dao together with everyone else.
Influenced by his old father, Dong Shaohui was also inexplicably happy. His talent and temperament in cultivation were not good. If he didn't have a huge amount of resources, he would probably stop at Jindan in the future.
Soon, they saw a handsome young Daoist in a plain green Daoist robe following behind the gatekeeper and strolling in leisurely.
Dong Mingchao realized that he couldn't see the depth of this young Daoist at all. Therefore, he was sure that this young Daoist's level of cultivation was much higher than his. However, there were very few Dharma Realm Venerables and Primordial Soul Venerables in the cultivation world. None of them matched the characteristics of this self-proclaimed Tianji Peak, Penglai Mountain Qi cultivator, Shi Xuan. What was the point of changing his appearance? He was most likely Jindan Grandmaster.
"Junior Dong Mingchao greets Shi Michinaga." He stood up and greeted him. Dong Shaohui followed behind. Seeing his old father's attitude, he knew that this Shi Michinaga's level of cultivation was not low. If he could guide his daughter, it would be an indescribable blessing.
Otherwise, when she grew older, it would be quite troublesome to send her to Zhushan to listen to Daoism. Not to mention the long journey, when Zhushan and the other Zhenrens preached, they would come as they pleased. Sometimes they would repeat the same paragraph, sometimes they would talk about Jindan and Primordial Soul. The listeners needed to be a hundred times more patient than ordinary people to finish listening. After all, a lot of the content could be sold in the market on jade scrolls. There was no need to listen at all.
Shi Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Lay Buddhist Dong, you don't have to be so polite. Please carry your daughter out and let I have a look."
Dong Mingchao gestured for Xiao Huan to go forward, while he and Dong Shaohui accompanied Shi Xuan and chatted. The more he looked at Shi Xuan, the more familiar he felt, but he could not remember where he had seen him before.
After a while, An Clan heard that a master came to visit because of his daughter. He was very happy. His daughter had just been born, but he came to visit, which meant that there was indeed something extraordinary about her. Thus, he forced himself to carry the baby girl out and bowed. "An Clan Dong greets Shi Michinaga."
Sensing the familiar aura on Shi Shuan, the baby girl reached out to hug him. Shi Shuan took the opportunity to catch her. When he saw the thunderbolt mark between her eyebrows, he felt relieved. It was the mark of the Divine Firmament Palace, which had returned to the level of an eighteen-layered Forbidden Treasure and a semi-magical treasure. Granny Yu had brought it along for reincarnation so that it would become her future natal magical treasure.
"It is the Lord of Purple Aura Soaring to the Heavens that I saw," Shi Xuan said with a smile.
The whole family was overjoyed when they got the confirmation. Dong Mingchao seized the opportunity and said, "Shi Michinaga, please give me a name for my granddaughter."
Shi Xuan snickered and said leisurely, "Since she was born from the essence of thunder and lightning, and it happened to be a rare thunderbolt, why don't we name her 'Shenxiao', the lord of all thunder and lightning?"
"Good name." The family of three praised in unison. Then, Dong Hanchao said with a smile, "Shi Michinaga, you said that you would teach Shenxiao for a few years. Would you like to stay in my humble place?"
Shi Xuan nodded indifferently, "Please arrange it for me, Lay Buddhist Dong."
Dong Mingchao was delighted and arranged a courtyard for Shi Xuan. Only Jindan Grandmaster, the Lord of Canglan City, deserved such treatment.
After settling Shi Xuan, the family of three returned to the study. Dong Hanchao took Shenxiao in his arms. The more he looked at it, the more comforted he felt. He said to his son and daughter-in-law, "In the past, I traveled thousands of miles to listen to the teachings in Zhushan …"
Halfway through his words, he froze. His eyes widened, his pupils dilated, and his hands trembled violently. Seeing this, Dong Shaohui quickly carried his daughter and asked, "Father, what's wrong?"
Dong Mingchao dashed to a quiet room in the study, opened the door, and pointed at the portrait enshrined on it. He stuttered, "This, this is the portrait of the Patriarch that I copied in Zhushan. Come and take a look."
Dong Shaohui and An Clan took a closer look and found that it was the Qi cultivator Shi Xuan from Penglai Mountain, Tianji Peak.
