Capítulo 1530: Chapter 670: A Great Moment! Creating Lightning!
Paranoid, beautiful, noble, and cold-hearted Azure Banner Master Lan Qi has died.
It was only until moments before her death that she revealed her secret. She once betrayed the regulations of the Witch Kingdom and had an affair with someone, resulting in offspring.
It was also only until her dying moments that she disclosed the lineage of Lan Mei.
She turned out to be the biological mother of Little Witch Lan Mei.
In an instant, Little Witch Lan Mei’s heart twisted with pain.
Always carrying herself with astonishing talent, she would practice erratically, indulging in play. Banner Master Lan Qi always indulged her. When she said she didn’t want to be chosen as Banner Master, Lan Qi respected her wishes. Even when she said that after coming of age, she wanted to wander the world and trouble men, Banner Master Lan Qi looked at her with both indulgence and reproach.
Azure Banner Master Lan Qi was a very aloof person, rarely close to others, but almost doted on Little Lan Mei.
So all along, Little Lan Mei regarded Lan Qi as a mother in her heart.
And now, she really is her biological mother. If it were a normal time, Little Lan Mei would be overjoyed and push her limits further, acting spoiled and wanting to leave the Sea Blue Flag Territory early to wreak havoc in the Barbaric Wilderness on men.
But now, having just recognized her biological mother—no, she hadn’t even recognized her yet—this mother has already departed, has already died.
This most loving mother was killed.
Skyguard Knight Order Leader White Wolf rescued Ji Xiuning. The three hundred Skyguard Knights he brought were initially half shot dead by antiaircraft pythons.
In the ensuing fierce battle, nearly half of the remaining one hundred fifty Skyguard Knights were killed or injured.
The remaining eighty or ninety people smoothly withdrew from the Sea Blue Flag Territory, chasing after White Wolf northward to the Human Kingdom.
The brutal and brief battle ended.
Next, all the samurai in Sea Blue Flag Territory will host a splendid funeral for Banner Master Lan Qi.
After grieving for three days, they will report to Witch City.
Then, under the guidance of the Witch Kingdom’s Queen, a new Banner Master will be chosen.
At the funeral, Lan Qi’s body will be completely burned, and the Demon Bloodline will be refined; this vial will be placed at the altar in Sea Blue Flag Territory.
She can only leave behind a Crystal Stone statue.
Throughout the funeral, Lan Qi’s biological daughter Lan Mei did not shed a tear nor utter a word.
She watched her biological mother’s breathtaking body stripped bare, then consumed by flames, refining into a vial of Demon Bloodline.
And the Crystal Stone statue of Lan Qi, sculpted personally by Little Witch Lan Mei.
Little Lan Mei, sleepless for days and nights, finally completed the sculpture, crafting a lifelike Lan Qi.
This Lan Qi is very similar, but somewhat not, for half of it is Lan Qi’s image, and the other half is Little Lan Mei’s own image.
“Avenge, we must seek vengeance, report to Her Majesty the Queen, let the entire Witch Kingdom send troops, even if it means waging war on the Dragon Temple, we must avenge the Banner Master.” The powerful elders of the Demon Sect in the Sea Blue Flag Territory were filled with righteous indignation, insisting on vengeance even if it meant going to war with the Dragon Temple.
Little Lan Mei knew her mother, Lan Qi, always hated the Dragon Temple, viewing them as mortal enemies, yet why was this so, she never said.
While discussing how to avenge, Little Witch Lan Mei remained silent.
The next day, after the funeral ended, Little Witch Lan Mei vanished, leaving behind a brief letter.
“I must grow strong. I must personally avenge my mother. I’m leaving!”
Just like that, the most beloved Little Witch of the entire Sea Blue Banner, departed.
At the peak of Tongtian, five days remain until the duel!
For more than the past month, Lanling has been comprehending lightning for the first twenty days.
His spiritual domain even reached into the depths of lightning.
Moreover, his spiritual power entered the moment the dark clouds collided, and he slowed the vision dozens of times with Mental Skill, witnessing firsthand how lightning came to be.
Various types of lightning—ordinary, ball lightning, blood-red lightning, and so on—the internal energy mechanisms of these lightnings were clearly seen by Lanling.
He became intimately familiar with every frame of lightning’s birth.
Using knowledge from Earth, Lanling grasped the principles of lightning with unmatched clarity.
Once he felt he mastered all the theoretical knowledge, he began practicing, utilizing the magic power within the sub-body to create electric energy.
This process is at once complex and simple.
Simple because positive and negative ionic collisions form electric energy.
Complex because it involves splitting his bloodline energy into yin and yang, positive and negative energy.
To achieve this goal, Lanling spent a full ten years!
Of course, these were ten years within the Meditative World.
In the Meditative World, he practiced repeatedly, researched incessantly.
Time and again he transformed his meridians.
Dozens, hundreds, thousands of failures. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelFɪre.net
The entire process could truly be described as exhausting body and mind, unbearably painful.
Perhaps, it was the hardest thing he ever did, and also the most magnificent.
Greater than him ascending to the throne of Zhi Yan Raging Wave Kingdom, greater than conquering the Black Demon Flag, greater tenfold than conquering the Centaur Tribe.
Because crafting positive and negative energy, Lanling nearly exhausted all means, all intellect.
For this, he even went as far as splitting his spirit and soul, even having one soul feign death, attempting to enter the Netherworld.
