Qin Hao sheathed the Heavenly Master Sword and descended from the air.
In just a few steps, he returned to the Three Pure Ones Hall.
When Qin Hao got back to the Three Pure Ones Hall, although he had just been in the torrential rain, his clothes were completely dry.
At this moment, the sky over Longguang City had cleared and the torrential rain had stopped.
Seeing the sequence of actions taken by Qin Hao just now,
everyone present, and the tens of millions in the live stream, were too stunned to speak.
At this moment, the live chat was filled with the words "Holy Shit."
"This guy has no culture, just 'Holy Shit' and he conquers the world!"
"Guys, tell me, is this something a human could do?"
"Damn, just performing a spell and the disaster-level torrential rain stops, and you call this a normal person? You call this a Jianghu Mage?"
"When the Heavenly Master was casting the spell to stop the rain, I still doubted it a bit, since the mages you see in TV dramas always have to prepare all sorts of tools before they cast spells.
Like drawing talismans, bells, chicken blood, dog blood, and the like. This Heavenly Master didn't prepare anything. He just drew his sword and went up, making me think he was unprofessional.
Now I know that only those with little mana use a magic altar; real masters don't need to prepare anything, just carry their sword and go straight to a showdown with the heavens!"
"Those with weak mana have to burn paper offerings to the Dragon King, worship the Thunder Lord and his spouse, and beg their grandparents for a bit of wind and rain. But our Heavenly Master doesn't play by those rules. He unsheathes his sword and just gets on with it. That aura just now, as if he wanted to put the Heavenly Master Sword to the Dragon King's neck, nearly splitting the Thunder Lord and his spouse in half! You can tell who the true expert is at a glance!"
"The image of the Heavenly Master Sword at the Dragon King's neck cracked me up, hahaha, I dare the Dragon King to make a move?"
"Dragon King: I dare not, I dare not! Thunder Lord and his spouse: The Heavenly Master is too fierce, we're outta here!"
...
Inside the live stream, the audience was still shocked by the Heavenly Master's single sword strike that stopped the rain.
In their eyes, Qin Hao ascended to heaven in one step, the Heavenly Master Sword pointing to the sky, commanding the rain to stop.
Even the Dragon King in charge of rain had to obey the Heavenly Master's command.
The torrential rain that had plagued Longguang City for over half a month stopped as he said it would.
What is this if not a deity?
In these villagers' eyes, Qin Hao was now a living immortal!
He drew his sword to stop the rain, deploying a great spell for the benefit of all living beings.
At this moment, the True Yuan within Qin Hao's Dantian, after using the Wind and Rain Summoning Technique, was reduced to less than a tenth of its former size.
It would take some time to recover.
He said, "Infinite Heavenly Venerable, there's no need for such courtesy, please rise. Since you all live near Qingyun Mountain and have provided offerings to our Taoist Temple for many years, it's only right that I should offer you my protection.
Now that the torrential rain has stopped, you may descend the mountain and return home, and in the future, just come to burn incense and worship The Three Pure Ones."
The rain had stopped; what were so many villagers waiting for?
Qin Hao dared not keep them at the Taoist Temple for a meal.
If they stayed for a meal, how much food would they have to consume?
He couldn't afford that, no way!
Qin Hao just thought of sending the villagers away quickly.
But these villagers didn't think the same.
Their focus was on Qin Hao's divine skills.
Just now, as they all bowed down together, in that instant, the Heavenly Master lifted them all up effortlessly.
What was this if not divine power?
What was this if not a spell?
Sure enough, the Heavenly Master was a true immortal!
Qin Hao himself didn't know, but with his casual action, his image became even more towering in the hearts of these villagers!
Now Qin Hao, in the villagers' eyes, was truly a deity, the kind that should be enshrined on the altar at home after they returned!
Qin Hao's words were also taken as divine decrees by them.
The Heavenly Master told them to go down the mountain and return home, and the villagers happily went back.
After seeing off the villagers,
Qin Hao didn't say much more and turned back to the Heavenly Master Mansion to rest.
After all, he had indeed expended a significant amount of True Yuan this time; he needed to go back and properly recuperate.
Once the Heavenly Master had gone far away.
In the Three Pure Ones Hall, the reporter finally came to her senses.
Just when she had been lost in thought, the Heavenly Master had already left.
The reporter instantly regretted it.
She had missed such a great opportunity for news and an interview.
At the same time, the reporter recalled the interview she had with the Heavenly Master before he performed the rain-stopping spell, and his words.
Thinking about this, she felt helpless.
This Heavenly Master, so much for "monks don't lie."
Not a single word of truth came out of his mouth.
Reporter Li Yangyang stated, "The Heavenly Master personally told me to believe in science, and then the next moment, he was treading the void and soaring through it. Is that science?"
The Heavenly Master said he was just trying his luck with the spell to stop the rain, without being a hundred percent certain. Yet when he pointed his sword at the thunder clouds, the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped on his command—as if he were a father giving orders to his child.
Is that what you call giving it a try? Without a hundred percent certainty?
Heavenly Master!
You're just one step away from sword flight and ascending through tribulation, and yet you claim you don't cultivate immortality?
Li Yangyang, as a reporter, has interviewed hundreds and thousands of people, from ordinary citizens to high-ranking officials and wealthy tycoons.
She's seen difficult people, but never someone like the Heavenly Master.
The Heavenly Master preaches belief in science, stubbornly maintaining he's just an ordinary person.
What could Li Yangyang do? Nothing!
Now that the Heavenly Master has left,
Li Yangyang had no choice but to turn back and consult the photography teacher behind her.
"Photography teacher, did you get all that on camera?"
The photography teacher nodded, "Don't worry, I got it all."
Li Yangyang breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, though I didn't get anything out of the Heavenly Master, at least we've got the footage, so I can fulfill my duty when I return."
...
This issue of the news was tremendously popular.
It could even be said to have the highest online viewership of live news broadcasts in the past six or seven years.
Especially after the segment showing the reporter interviewing the Heavenly Master during the downpour in Longguang City was aired, the popularity soared off the charts.
The moment the image of the Heavenly Master wielding his sword and commanding the heavens and earth to stop the rain was shown, the fervor exploded.
After the news ended,
countless videos of the Heavenly Master stopping the rain mushroomed on internet short video platforms.
Blanketing every platform and trending list with videos.
During this period, Qin Hao scarcely ever left the trending list.
Just as the heat from the previous trending topic "Heavenly Master's Thunder Technique" had started to die down a bit,
the topic of Qin Hao performing the rain-stopping spell heated up again.
"#OrdinaryQingyunMountain, Jianghu Mage Heavenly Master Qin!"
"#TheEndoftheDownpourinLongguangCity, TheWarmheartedReasonBehindIt!"
"#HeavenlyMaster: I'll be straight with you, the rain stopped only after I put my sword to the Dragon King's neck!"
"#HeavenlyMaster tells us to believe in science, the next second his sword shines with golden light, scattering the thunder clouds!"
"#CastYourVotes: Heavenly Master, Ordinary Man or Fake Ordinary Man, Real Cultivator!"
"#HeavenlyMaster: I'll try to stop the rain for a bit! Thunder Deities: Fake! He's lying, he almost slaughtered us!"
...
Meanwhile, in the Imperial Capital, within a certain villa complex.
Inside a high-end villa,
a second-tier female star's manager came over with a frowned face, holding a data report.
"Weiwei, trouble again! Our seventh purchase of a trending spot this month got knocked off again!"
…
Brothers, this is only the beginning of my 20,000-word new book!
In the comments, I've got a bunch of you spraying me for slow updates, but let me say, this book's still just a seedling! It hasn't even hit the trial recommendations!
In the industry, a seedling with so many words updated daily is just this one book! Seriously, the conscience of the industry!
With such a conscientious book and author, if you don't cast some recommendation votes, will you even be able to sleep at night??
