The Purple-Robed Celestial Master has turned into a zombie?! Who can stand that?!

Chapter 44 Thunder God's Sword (First Update! Please Read On! Please Vote!!)
Zhang Tianlu looked at the ten-thousand-year-old thunderwood in his hand, which was no bigger than two palms.

That's so stingy! What can you do with such a small piece of wood?

Thunderwood is a top-grade raw material for crafting top-tier magical artifacts.

Zhang Tianlu originally thought that if the Thunderwood given by the system was large enough, he could use it to forge several top-tier Thunder Magic Artifacts.

Such as the Divine Firmament Axe, the Heaven-Shaking Sword, the Mysterious Thunder Bow, etc...

But now, looking at this palm-sized, ten-thousand-year-old thunderwood...

What kind of magical artifact are you trying to forge?

It's so small, it's not even big enough to make a handle, let alone a Divine Firmament Axe.

Zhang Tianlu: "It seems that making large magical artifacts is not feasible, but small magical artifacts can be barely managed."

After all, it's ten-thousand-year-old thunderwood, making the material extremely precious.

If it were any ordinary material, Zhang Tianlu would have just thrown it away.

But let the Ten Thousand Year Thunderwood be small.

Zhang Tianlu sat on the coffin, holding the piece of Thunderwood in his hand, and began to ponder it.

Among the smaller magical artifacts, there are also some with great power.

Such as Soul-Destroying Needles, Five Thunder Tokens, Miniature Thunder God Swords, Flowing Pearls, etc.

The most cost-effective and preferred choice is naturally the Soul-Destroying Needle.
It's the size of a needle; with a little crafting, it can become a magical artifact.

However, the Ten Thousand Year Heavenly Thunderwood is not the best material for refining Soul-Destroying Needles; it would be a waste to use such a top-grade material to make Soul-Destroying Needles.

Moreover, the Soul-Destroying Needle is only moderately powerful, capable of killing only vengeful ghosts and ineffective against zombies, thus limiting its target.

It may seem like it saves on materials, but in reality, it's not cost-effective.

The Five Thunder Token draws in heavenly thunder, instantly unleashing its power to strike in all directions.

Although its power is not bad, Zhang Tianlu is essentially a self-propelled machine that releases heavenly lightning.

The thunder magic of the Five Thunder Token is not as powerful as Zhang Tianlu's casual palm strike.

While a Five Thunder Token made from ten-thousand-year-old Heavenly Thunder Wood would certainly be more powerful, there's no need to waste such a good material.

Zhang Tianlu ultimately set his sights on the Thunder God Sword.

In Taoism, there are magical treasures that consist of multiple small Thunder God swords forming a sword formation.

Available in three quantities: 9 handles, 18 handles, and 27 handles!
The more swords there are, the more precise the sword formation becomes, and the greater its power.

But Zhang Tianlu only had two palm-sized pieces of ancient thunderwood in his hands; making 27 thunder swords was out of the question.

Even if you add up all the waste wood chips, it still won't be enough.

Even 18 Thunder God Swords would be a tough nut to crack.

However, nine handles are definitely more than enough.

Zhang Tianlu immediately began crafting the Thunder God Sword.

The so-called Thunder God Sword

It is the magical sword used by the Taoist deity Lei Gong.

In the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor reigns over the thirty-six heavens and governs the seventy-two lands, overseeing all matters concerning gods, immortals, Buddhas, saints, the human world, and the underworld; his power is boundless.

His Heavenly Court was divided into eight departments, collectively known as the Eight Departments of Heavenly Gods.

They are: the Department of Fighting, which controls military power; the Department of Thunder, which controls punishments; the Department of Finance, which controls money; the Departments of Plague and Smallpox, which control natural disasters; the Departments of Water and Fire, which control water and fire; and the Department of Grand Duke Jupiter, which controls birthdays.

Lei Gong is a general of the Thunder Department.

The leader of the Thunder Department is none other than the renowned Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin of Thunder Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable.

This Celestial Venerable, as the highest deity of the Thunder Department, oversees a complex organization of thunder gods. Its headquarters is the Divine Firmament Jade Purity Palace, which includes three provinces and nine departments, thirty-six inner courts and departments, the East and West Huatai, the Mysterious Pavilion and Wonderful Pavilion, four palaces and six courtyards, as well as various departments and bureaus.

The Nine Heavens Thunder God General, the Eight Directions Cloud Thunder General, the Five Directions Barbarian Thunder Envoy, and the Thunder Department Commander-in-Chief are all under the command of the Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin of Thunder and Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable. Among these officials, there are 36 Thunder Gods who strike thunder on behalf of Heaven, and all obey the orders of the Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin of Thunder and Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable.

Whenever a great demon wreaks havoc in the mortal realm, or a celestial being rebels against the Heavenly Court, or when a situation arises that the Heavenly Court cannot control,

The Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation and Responding to the Origin of Thunder will then dispatch his generals, including the Thunder God, along with 36 Thunder Gods from the Thunder Department to unleash the Heavenly Thunder of Punishment.

This is the origin of the lightning tribulation. The Thunder God in the line shouted by Zhang Jiao, the founder of the Way of Peace, "The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise; in the year of Jiazi, great fortune will come to the world, may the Thunder God help me!" refers to this group of Thunder God Heavenly Generals.

The Thunder God Sword is their magic weapon for casting thunder spells.

Although Zhang Tianlu is currently making counterfeit magic swords, none of them are weak when they are associated with the Thunder Department.

The true Thunder Department holds supreme power of life and death in Heaven.

The Thunder God imitations were also rampaging through the lower realms.

Zhang Tianlu made the Thunder God Swords very quickly, and nine Thunder God Swords were completed in no time.

Each Thunder God Sword is only the size of a little finger on a person's hand, extremely tiny.

However, the design is exquisite, a masterpiece of craftsmanship, and Zhang Tianlu's forging skills are also at the master level, something that no ordinary Taoist forger could create.

He engraved the Thunder God Talisman on both sides of the Thunder God Sword.

"It's a pity that my blood has dried up. If it were sacrificed with the blood of the Celestial Master, its power would be even greater."

Newly crafted magical artifacts need to be consecrated before they can exert their power.

Zhang Tianlu engraved the Thunder God Talisman and refined it by embedding it into the Thunder God Seal; this was only the initial consecration.

However, if the sword is consecrated with the blood of a Celestial Master, its power will be even greater.

The bloodline of the Zhang family's Celestial Masters carries the immortal energy of two Great Luo Golden Immortal Ancestors.

The sword is consecrated by the Celestial Master's Blood Sacrifice, making it even more effective at killing zombies and vengeful ghosts.

Unfortunately, Zhang Tianlu has been dead for over two thousand years, and the blood in his body has long since dried up.

I can only try to find an opportunity to go to Longhu Mountain to borrow a few bottles from Xuanzhen.

Zhang Tianlu: Find an opportunity to bleed Xuanzhen, so we can save the Celestial Master's blood for future use.

Nine Thunder God Swords were completed. Zhang Tianlu's mind stirred.
He activated the True Scripture of the Dragon and Tiger Flying Dipper and the Sword.

Immediately, purple lightning arcs intertwined on the nine Thunder God Swords in front of him, and were quickly controlled by Zhang Tianlu, levitating and flying up.

Sword formations constantly formed before him, ever-changing.

Between the nine Thunder God Swords, heavenly lightning intertwined, creating an incredibly mysterious phenomenon.

Zhang Tianlu is playing with the Thunder God Sword here.

The three ghost kings beside him trembled at the sword energy.

These flying swords are small in size, but each one exudes a fierce aura!
I felt that if I encountered those three ghost kings, I would probably be riddled with bullets.

Who can withstand this?

Zhang Tianlu played with the Thunder God Sword for a while.

He put the nine Thunder God Swords into his sleeve, and the nine divine swords flew into his sleeve.

Then, he looked at the remaining half of the Ten-Thousand-Year Thunderwood.

The remaining amount of Thunder God material is not enough to make nine more Thunder God Swords, thus completing a higher-level Thunder God Sword Formation of 18.

Although there was still a lot of wood left, the materials saved were mostly scraps and odds and ends because of the purpose of making the sword.

The length and width are not enough.

Zhang Tianlu decided to use the remaining scraps to make beads.

Make a few Thunder God Beads from ten-thousand-year-old Thunderwood.

The remaining scraps should be enough to make a dozen or so thunder pearls.

If we string these thunder pearls together into flowing pearls, it will become another magical artifact.

The remaining wood shavings can be ground into powder to make Thunder Wood Powder. If you encounter demons or monsters, just throw a handful of Thunder Wood Powder out, and even the Ghost King will have to stand there and perform drunken boxing.

Ten-thousand-year-old thunderwood, are you kidding me? Even a single grain of powder is a treasure for warding off evil!
