Chapter 613 Offering Fish 49

Dark clouds filled the sky, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder. Dazzling purple bolts of lightning, like giant dragons, roared and swooped down from the depths of the clouds, their target singular—Sima Jiao!

However, just as these lightning bolts were about to strike Sima Jiao, the originally fierce lightning bolts seemed to suddenly lose their aim, changing their trajectory and deviating from their original target.

If the Heavenly Dao truly possessed a physical form at this moment, it would probably be so angry that its mouth would twist in disbelief.

After all, this situation was incredibly infuriating! How could Heaven not be furious when it saw its attack so easily broken?

So, the thundercloud paused for a moment, but soon began to roll again, and this time it rolled much more violently than before.

As the thunderclouds continued to churn, more and more, thicker and thicker bolts of lightning descended from the sky, each bolt containing boundless power and terrifying aura, as if to tear the entire world apart.

Faced with such a violent and rampant force of lightning, Sima Jiao remained unusually calm and composed.

He stood firmly in place, unmoved by the distortion and deformation of the surrounding space.

The iron rods surrounding it were like an impregnable fortress; no matter how many bolts of lightning struck it, they only produced some sparks and could not cause any substantial damage.

Time flowed by slowly, and Heaven gradually realized that such endless chopping was meaningless.

Although it struck down with the immense power of heavenly lightning, aside from causing some minor superficial injuries to Sima Jiao at first, it was completely unable to harm him in the slightest.

Especially with those strangely shaped sticks, it was practically an invincible shield, perfectly blocking all the heavenly lightning, and not even a tiny piece of Sima Jiao's clothing was touched.

Having wasted so much energy for nothing, Tiandao felt a sense of frustration.

Since there was nothing that could be done about Sima Jiao at this point, Heaven had no choice but to temporarily give up.

The thick, heavy thunderclouds began to dissipate at an astonishing speed, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye, leaving only a clear, azure sky.

Lin Jiu stared wide-eyed at the lightning rod, which was frantically absorbing the lightning and shimmering with dazzling light, a feeling of regret welling up inside her. She thought to herself, "Why did the lightning stop so quickly? I was hoping it would strike a little longer!"

Watching the lightning rods undergo astonishing changes after being struck by lightning—they seemed to have been blessed by some mysterious power, not only becoming more dazzling in appearance, but also undergoing subtle yet significant changes in their internal structure.

This level of evolution is far from insignificant. If more lightning strikes were to occur, these lightning rods might actually evolve!

Unfortunately, the heavens were unkind; the way of heaven is truly too stingy.

Lin Jiu looked lost and dejected, his gaze lingering on the now calm sky.

She sighed softly, as if she wanted to expel all the regret in her heart with that sigh.

Sima Jiao gazed quietly at Lin Jiu's exquisite profile, pondered for a moment, and finally asked, "A-Jiu, do you know why it's targeting the Sima family?"

Although Sima Jiao did not directly specify who or what the so-called "it" was, the two of them tacitly understood this point.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiu's originally calm state of mind was immediately disturbed.

Her eyes sparkled slightly, clearly showing interest in the topic. So she pressed on, "Why?"

However, Sima Jiao did not immediately give an answer when Lin Jiu pressed him for an answer.

Instead, he changed the subject and asked another seemingly unrelated question: "Well... do you know why the Three Sacred Mountains got this name?"

This problem was naturally not difficult for Lin Jiu, who was well-versed in local chronicles and various unofficial histories.

Lin Jiu: "I know that! It is said that three ancestors ascended to heaven here, which is why this place is revered by the world as 'Three Saints Mountain'."
