Chapter 1521: The Heavens Inflict Punishht, Little Treasure was in theht; it was now half complete

It was in that very moment that thunder rumbled in the sky outside It filled the first continent, as if soe The Heavens seemed to transform into an eye which scoured the lands below it, as if it were searching for so In the end, the eye vanished

Even as the clouds above seethed, Meng Hao’s true self was sitting in his home not too far away from Little Treasure He slowly looked up into the sky, his eyes cold

In thatthat so down at hi

That night, as the clouds churned, rain began to fall

It fell, not just on that particular city, but upon the entire first continent

Rain was a natural occurence, so people didn’t pay much attention to it The mortals didn't even care, much less the cultivators But the rain continued to fall for a total of seven days!

Because of the unending downpour, soan to fill up ater A disaster was unfolding Soon, themeasures to control the flood of water

The rain didn't stop after seven days though There was a brief respite with a bit of sunny sky, but then thunder booain It seemed to pour doithout end Rain fell for a second week, then a third, then a fourth

By now, it was a true disaster, to the point where the cultivators in the first continent attempted to intervene and stop the rain However, not even the Paragons were capable of doing so

The best they could do was create canals that led the rainwater to the oceans

However, that was not a long-term solution Furthermore, many of the cultivators who attempted to intervene would subsequentlycultivation, and then die

Only his wife knew She had taken certain oing to stop?” Little Treasure said with a sigh Because of what had been happening, business had ground to a halt Thankfully, they had some food saved up, but if the rain kept on the way it was, that food wouldn’t last for very long

Little Treasure sat there quietly, sculpting away With every stroke of his knife, another sliver of ould fall, just like the rain outside

Little Treasure and his faround Along the way, Little Treasure’s parents fell ill

They were old, and had grown frail, and nearly lost their lives to the illness However, just when it seemed hopeless, they h he couldn’t see how ashen his wife’s face was in that moment

The rain fell harder People died on a daily basis Around, only Little Treasure and his family kept their spirits up Further Every day he would spend ti on his statue

The exodus took a full year Eventually, they reached a tall radually caees Suddenly, the rain stopped Everyone began to cry out in joy, only to feel a frigid wind blow across their faces, a hich seemed to drain them of all warmth In that instant, their spirits turned as cold as ice

The rain had stopped But the snow had just begun
