55: Chapter 55: I Understand, Airavata (Please Follow) 55: Chapter 55: I Understand, Airavata (Please Follow) “Although the Water God and I have temporarily brought rain together, it is still not enough.
If we continue like this, our divine power will be exhausted,”
“Damned Jīnchuáng!”
Wind God Vayu gritted his teeth.
He pursed his lips, which were dry and cracked, and his face was etched with weariness.
The blue robes of Water God Varuna had lost their luster, and he too had a bitter look on his face; the two stood side by side, resembling skeletal figures.
The condition of the other Devas was significantly better, and even the Sun God, who rode in a chariot, was clad in golden armor and still radiated divine light, shining brightly.
Fire God Agni appeared serious.
His hands came together gently, and a sacrificial fire ignited in his palms, its red glow rippling, reflecting the ceremonies of the Mortal Realm.
Within the firelight,
caves would suddenly emerge, then cellars, before disappearing just as quickly.
The rituals were few and far between, and all were conducted in secret.
“The evil Asura Jīnchuáng has forbidden worship; now, the sacrifices we receive from the Mortal Realm are dwindling,”
Fire God Agni said bitterly, teeth clenched.
Jīnchuáng’s sin was immense and malicious!
He dared to forbid their worship!
They carried out their divine duties in the Mortal Realm, overseeing the cycles of day and night, stirring the winds, kindling the flames, but they received no offerings from humans, and had to do the work themselves.
Was there any logic in the world about being paid to work?
The Devas fell into a collective state of gloom.
Step!
Step!
Step!
Just then, amid the sound of footsteps, a calm voice rose.
“The task of bringing a bountiful rain shouldn’t be left to Vayu and Varuna alone, nor is it necessary to awaken the Heavenly Emperor,”
“In fact, there are more solutions!”
The Ritual Master Immortal walked forward with a smile at this critical moment.
“Praise to the Ritual Master Immortal, praise to the Deva Mentor!”
“Praise to the Ritual Master Immortal, praise to the Deva Mentor!”
…
The Devas pressed their hands together in salutation, their faces lit up with surprise and joy.
Curious, astonished, and expectant gazes converged on the Ritual Master Immortal.
The anticipation was fiery, waiting for his profound insight.
The Ritual Master Immortal stood slightly taller.
He gently raised his hand, drew a circle with his finger, and pointed towards the east.
“Have you forgotten?”
“Within the Miscellaneous Grove Garden of Sudarśana City lies one of the Heavenly Emperor’s divine artifacts!”
The Ritual Master Immortal said with a smile.
The Devas’ strength was also stored in their divine artifacts.
Consequently, the Wheel of Indra contained an abundance of Thunderbolt Divine Power.
If they obtained the Wheel of Indra, their troubles would be easily solved.
At these words, the Devas were enlightened, a glimmer of hope shining in their eyes.
“That’s right!”
“The divine artifacts ‘Dry Lightning’ and ‘Moist Lightning’ are there in the Miscellaneous Grove Garden!”
Wind God Vayu slapped his hands together in excitement, exclaiming.
“Yes, with these artifacts, we won’t exhaust much of our divine power!” Water God Varuna’s eyes filled with delight, his face full of emotion.
With the Heavenly Emperor Indra’s divine artifacts, they could save a good deal of divine power.
And they would have more time to truly savor life!
“Thank you for your guidance, Mentor!”
“Thank you for your guidance, Mentor!”
The Devas expressed their profound respect, bowing together to the Ritual Master Immortal.
“Let’s go!”
“To the Miscellaneous Grove Garden!”
The next moment, under the guidance of the Ritual Master Immortal, the Devas rose happily to their feet and soared quickly to the Miscellaneous Grove Garden.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Streaks of light descended, landing before the Miscellaneous Grove Garden.
The Gandharva warriors guarding the garden were thrilled, pressing their palms together and saying, “Praise to the Deva Mentor!
Praise to the Sun God!
Praise to the Fire God!
Praise…”
The Ritual Master Immortal greeted them with a smile.
The Devas stood tall and proud.
Especially Wind God Vayu and Water God Varuna, who both strutted with a carefree arrogance into the grand temple.
Inside the temple,
Pillars of gold, roofs inlaid with pearls, ornamented with agates, the brilliance was dazzling.
Ancient and majestic black altars stood adorned with divine light, giving them a distinct character.
“It was I who proposed the restoration here.”
“I remember it clearly, the Wheel of Indra that was forged from a part of my own starfire, was right here.
It could be taken for use.”
Sun God Surya smiled proudly and strode forward briskly to a black pedestal.
He turned his gaze.
But in an instant, the smile on his face froze, replaced by confusion and puzzlement.
“???”
Sun God Surya frowned slightly, a series of question marks appearing above his head.
Hmm?!
The Devas and the Ritual Master Immortal also came over and upon close inspection, they saw the empty pedestal.
“It’s not here!
How can it not be here?!”
Sun God Surya exclaimed in alarm.
He hurried to the next pedestal, murmuring, “I remember this spot was for the ‘Dry Lightning’ and ‘Moist Lightning’.”
As Surya spoke, all the Devas looked that way.
Empty!!!
“It’s empty again?!”
Surya ran to check the spot of the Divine Spear Amogha and the conch Devadatta.
Empty!
Empty!
Empty!
The heart of the Ritual Master Immortal sank, and he hastily checked the surrounding pedestals.
“They are all empty!”
Exclaimed the Ritual Master Immortal.
“Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!” Sun God Surya cried out.
“These divine artifacts were all here before.”
“How could they be gone?”
Wind God Vayu said in panic.
The eyes of the Ritual Master Immortal narrowed thoughtfully, and he waved his hand.
“Let’s go!”
As he spoke, he led the Devas to the front of the temple.
“Who has been here?”
The Ritual Master Immortal asked.
A Gandharva warrior, brimming with excitement, stamped his feet, puffed out his chest, and quickly said in a loud voice, “Immortal, the Heavenly Emperor has been here!”
The Heavenly Emperor!
Could it be that the Heavenly Emperor took all the divine artifacts!
The Devas exchanged looks, for a moment not knowing how to proceed.
Without a word, the Ritual Master Immortal flew toward the Miscellaneous Grove Garden, with the Devas hurriedly following behind.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
They returned to the Miscellaneous Grove Garden, landing on the green grass, standing beside the Bodhi Tree.
“Teacher, what should we do?”
“Varuna and I can’t keep going on like this!”
Wind God Vayu appeared completely drained.
“Let me think!”
The Ritual Master Immortal also showed a troubled face, looking doubtfully at Indra.
“Could it be that the Heavenly Emperor doesn’t want our help in making rain?”
“That’s not right!”
“If the Heavenly Emperor continues his intense ascetic practices, it will affect the world, and Lord Vishnu might interfere.”
“Should we go look for the God of Love Kama to disrupt the Heavenly Emperor’s practices with desire?”
Muttered the Ritual Master Immortal to himself.
Roar!!!
A clear and resonant elephant call suddenly rang in the ears of the Ritual Master Immortal.
This elephant call, as if originating from the beginning of creation itself, seemed like guidance from the Vedas, accompanied by an inexplicable rhythmic ticking in his mind, countless thoughts rippling and converging to a single point in his consciousness.
“I understand now!”
The Ritual Master Immortal stood there stunned, his mouth slightly open.
A look of sudden realization spread across his face.
He abruptly turned, his gaze moving swiftly to rest upon the six-tusked White Elephant Airavata spouting water in a nearby lake.
The six-tusked White Elephant Airavata!
“Airavata!”
“Indra had already left us a way, the answer is right beside us!”
