Mother Nature had always been known to be an unstoppable force, she was a law that brought forth destruction the likes of which none could resist.
Yesterday, he wouldn't have known how to go about using mother nature's power, but right now he had a plan that would give mama Slowly a devastating injury, perhaps even kill her.
The thought that he might have a way to actually kill a rank 8 beast thrilled him,
"A cadet killing a rank 8 beast, the epitome of overpowered" Seth laughed out
Studies had shown that lightning was formed when large amounts of qi from the atmosphere collide with large amounts of qi rising from the surface.
Atmospheric qi was qi that hung up high in the sky, this qi had undergone a thorough purification due to the constant bombardment of the sun's rays on it, it was known to have very chaotic molecules and this made it a danger to be used for cultivation despite its pure nature.
Surface qi was qi which was produced from anywhere on the planet, in essence, every other qi other than atmospheric qi was surface qi.
The formation of lightning storms in clouds hinged on the fact that lightning was an element for purification and protection against corruption.
It was theorized that both qi from the atmosphere and qi rising from the surface might have some semblance of sentience, the qi from the atmosphere considered itself pure, and in an attempt to purify the rising qi which it thought of as polluted, it would immediately heat up and transform itself into lightning element, while the rising qi took the atmospheric qi's attempt to purify it as an attempt to corrupt it and in a bid to defend itself, it would also transform to lighting.
This led to a clash of lightning bolts in the sky, and if the concentration of the rising surface qi was in large quantities, then the formation of a lightning storm in that area was all but assured.
This was why areas which had witnessed intense battles between cultivators were always prone to having lightning storms later or sometimes if the battle intensity is high enough, the lightning storm begins while they fight.
Back In the temple, while Seth had been surfing the net, he had glanced passed an article concerning a battle between general stage cultivators in an area not too far off from Ukota town, and that area was just below the current place where he had trapped mama slowly.
The seal Seth had drawn was a means for him to communicate with the rising qi in the thunderstorm they had entered, with qi stones which gave also gave of surface qi acting as a means of contact with the currently volatile surface qi in the storm, Seth was able to contact the surface qi by passing his soulsense through the blood used to draw the seal and cling onto the qi diffusing out of the qi stones, then when qi from the qi stones and surface qi already present in the sky began interacting, Seth used this opportunity to lash on the surface qi with his soul sense.
For the surface qi to put up a noteworthy resistance against the supposed corruption from pure atmospheric qi, they all had to link up with one another, so when Seth's soul sense latched onto a single molecule of surface qi, like an instant chain reaction, he connected with all other molecules and using this current connection he infiltrated Eleusis.
Seth had come across information on Eleusis back when that scary entity had dumped some knowledge from the consciousnesses into his mind, knowledge on lightning and some of its teachings were some of the things put in his mind, and some knowledge Eleusis just happened to be one of them.
"Eleusis was the home or the sanctuary of different types of lightning, and free qi which was qi not under the control of any living being was known to be able to access it.
This implied that both atmospheric qi and surface qi accessed Eleusis in other to turn into lightning".
This was all Seth knew about Eleusis,
Seth sure as hell wasn't didn't have any qualification to be able to interact with free qi, not to talk of accessing Eleusis, well to be more specific, the Seth of yesterday didn't have the necessary qualifications to access Eleusis, but after going several rounds with Sonia last night, Seth found himself gaining enlightenment on several occasions and this became an annoyance as he tried to focus on the delicious snatch he was banging, so giving it without much thought, he tried pushing it to the back of his mind like he wanted to store it for later and surprisingly it worked.
The enlightenments had stacked up in his mind till a bright shining sphere as big as a disco ball was formed, a sphere which he felt could help him further understand anything.
The plan was to link up with the sphere, and with it, get access to the free qi, and then access to Eleusis, and then with this access, he would change the type of lightning that the surface qi was currently converting itself into.
As he linked himself with the sphere he immediately used it to find a way to use the free qi access and then sneak into Eleusis, and the next second, he felt himself blank out and then appear in a viscous blue sea, he had arrived here with what should be an astral projection and he could barely move his body through the water.
No, on closer inspection it wasn't water, it was lightning, a sea of concentrated lightning, he struggled to swim but his body remained stuck in place.
Before Seth could struggle any further, he felt different powerful qi signatures, yet all he could see was the blue sea of lightning, but when he stretched his senses around him, he could feel different distinct qi's, and without giving it much thought, he instinctively lashed onto one which he felt was stronger than the normal bolts of lightning with his sense and pulled it into him, as he pulled, the thought of Slowly passed through his mind, and he felt a qi signature pulse and resonate with his mind, so without much thought, he also pulled it along.
Though Seth saw nothing, he could feel two powerful qi signatures enter him, and the moment Seth felt the qi enter him, was the exact moment the lightning bolts in the real world changed to red.
Seth had no idea what was happening in the real world, but after feeling the qi flowing through him, he felt it was too weak and decided to reach out for one which he felt gave off a far more powerful feel.
Just as Seth mentally held onto it, he felt pain begin shooting all through his mind, "it seems I have grabbed on to something beyond my power".
Yet all this thought did was excite him and encourage him to conquer this lightning, he felt the pain running through his mind intensify, his mind felt like it was torn apart but unfortunately for it, its owner was a madman and with a mad grin, he kept on pulling on to the powerful qi until he felt it enter him, and this moment was the exact time when the lightning in the real world turned to deep dark blue and further cooked up mama Slowly.
With a head full of pain, Seth's mind came out of Eleusis and returned to his body.
After recovering from the pain which accompanied his return, he watched with a smile of victory as mama Slowly got bombarded by lightning, unable to move an inch from her position.
Even though he expected mama Slowly to sustain grievous injuries, he still had Slowly fly out of the storm, he may have given the surface qi an order on who to attack, but who knew whether they would rebel and also find him an interesting target, not to mention he had only influenced the surface qi, who knew how the pure atmosphere qi would react to the sudden increase in its polluted enemy's strength.
Just as this thought went through his head, a huge explosion went off in the sky, its shockwave sending Seth and Slowly spinning around in the air and falling out of the sky uncontrollably.
Seth found himself falling off Slowly back as he coughed out blood, he felt every part of his body screaming and blood leaking from all orifices on his face.
As he fell, he had a glance at the explosion in the distance, and a terrifying scene him came into his sight.
When he and Slowly had left the thunderstorm, it's bottom part which was deep dark blue in color had gradually began turning the upper part of the storm deep dark blue, a sign that the surface qi had gained the upper hand and was corrupting the atmospheric qi.
But now when Seth looked at it, he saw a wolf almost as big as the lightning storm made of purple lightning standing above it and looking at him dead in the eye.
They both stared at each other for a second before Seth lost sight of it as his body spun around, and when next he had a look at the lightning storm, he didn't see the wolf but saw the terrifying sight of the whole lightning storm falling down from the sky like it were an object.
He took his mind off the falling storm and tried to save himself from his current predicament but nothing came to mind, he could see Slowly falling ahead of him as it screamed in the air.
"Sorry buddy, you don't deserve to die in such a cruel way, especially your mother I think," Seth thought.
Other than his mind, no other part of his body responded to him, it was like his body had fallen asleep.
The last time he had felt so helpless was when he was attacked by those grade 0 wolves, he wasn't even sure he would survive this fall.
Thoughts of all the women he had banged and could have bagged especially that troublesome Rose were the thoughts flowing through his mind when he heard a voice as sweet as honey speak out.
"Mr. Evary, hope you are aware that the school doesn't pay you to gallivant around".
