Free Web NovelInside the Shang Mausoleum, there was no sunlight or moonlight, yet stars faintly lit up the ceiling, their weak light unable to pierce through the layers of gloom.
Before them was a stone bridge, beneath which was a section of the Qingyuan.
Intentions seemed to emanate from the mist, as if specters were scrutinizing those who crossed the stone bridge; those gazes were even colder than when Li Mo and Ying Bing had gone to retrieve the Scarlet Phoenix Qi.
It was clear that the specters were even more powerful in life.
If not for the Nanming Lihuo burning around Shang Wu, illuminating the surroundings, the sea of mist would have long since churned.
Thump—
Footsteps echoed in the silent emptiness.
“So, not all of those specters died in the Qingyuan for the Yuanhuang Legacy.”
Ying Bing had found it strange before; how could an ethereal treasure entice so many people to leap into the Qingyuan?
Now that she thought about it, perhaps the ancestors of the Qingyuan Sect would sit in meditation in the Qingyuan when their lifespan was nearing its end, their Yi Souls continuing to fulfill the duty of guarding the mausoleum.
The Shang Mausoleum held national destiny and the Nine-Colored Yuanhuang Legacy, and the Qingyuan Sect was also fully established.
Could it also be waiting for a future day when Great Yu would fall, and Great Shang would seize the opportunity to restore its nation?
And now, the Legacy belonged to her, and the national destiny was about to fall upon him... After another half an hour, thanks to Shang Wu, they didn’t encounter any unexpected situations.
Ying Bing saw the main burial chamber.
Outside the main burial chamber, lamps burned, flickering between bright and dim, seemingly forming a strange Formation that made the chamber appear both near and far, as if suspended between life and death.
The chamber door was open.
Many years ago, a princess of a fallen nation awakened and was carried out of her coffin by the Grand Elder.
But there was still another coffin inside.
“The Life and Death Cycle Formation obscures the secrets of heaven, allowing one to pass through long years without extending their lifespan; merely relying on the sunken yin wood is not enough.”
“This Formation also has the ability to reverse life and death.”
Ying Bing surveyed it for a moment, a glint flashing in her eyes.
Xue Jing slowly nodded.
He was the oldest person present.
He was still evaluating the Formation, otherwise it would seem like he had lived so many years in vain.
“Shang Wu, did the Grand Elder put your coffin back that year?”
Through the open door, a sunken yin wood coffin could be seen, also a supreme grade, completely jade-like. freёwebnovel.com
“No,” Shang Wu said without hesitation.
“Ah?” Xue Jing was startled.
“For the Life and Death Cycle, the core of the Formation must naturally be one Yin and one Yang; I am Yang, so there must be a Yin, didn’t you know?”
“...”
Xue Jing indeed did not know. He hesitated for a moment, then tentatively said, “So inside is your...”
“My brother.”
Shang Wu looked at the coffin, a hint of sadness flashing in her expression.
“Hmm, this old man thought so too.”
Xue Jing was a little speechless.
Shang Wu was clearly a woman, yet she was the Yang core of the Formation; wasn't this inverting Yin and Yang? Damn it.
“Alright, the time is just right. Let’s begin.”
Following Shang Wu’s instructions, Tang Xiaobao placed Li Mo on the Yang core of the Formation.
“Little Bing’er, I’ll connect with the national destiny, and you maintain the Formation.”
“I’ll help you with the national destiny as well.”
A cool moonlight illuminated the ancient lamp in the main burial chamber that had not been lit.
At the same time, the mist rising from beneath the Qingyuan lit up, threads of auspicious radiance piercing through the myriad gloom.
Rua!
A cry echoed through the abyss, reaching straight to the Azure Heaven... “What’s happening?”
Everyone in the main hall was already on high alert, guarding against any unforeseen changes, their nerves taut.
With a cry of “Rua!~~”
Elder Xu sprang up, not even bothering with the tea he had spilled on his trousers.
“The sound of the Yuanhuang?”
Shang Qinqing suddenly stood at the doorway, staring in the direction of the Qingyuan.
All the Yao Race present felt a surge of warmth and throbbing in their Bloodline, and they all rose to look.
Yuanhuang?
Everyone pondered this ancient and brilliant name, secretly astonished. Knowing it wasn't an enemy attack, they all looked up.
Shangguan Wencang let out a long sigh:
“It has begun.”
The old Sect Master’s heart was complex; the meaning of the Qingyuan Sect’s Legacy until now was to guard the mausoleum, but what would its meaning be in the future?
At this moment, the sky and earth both darkened.
It wasn't that the sunlight had faded, but rather that a dazzling phoenix shadow had already appeared in the sky.
This was not the physical form of the Nine-Colored Yuanhuang.
Rather, the national destiny, being condensed from the power of all living beings, would naturally transform into the most extreme existence in the world, the one and only in countless hearts.
The True Phoenix from thousands of years ago illuminated the present world.
Its eyes seemed to glance at the current Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; its eyes reflected the cicadas breaking free from their cocoons beneath the soil, and the great sun above the Azure Nether.
Then it swooped down, choosing to fly towards the abyss.
Towards the path from which it came!
The True Phoenix in the sky submerged.
“This...” Whether martial artists or the Yao Race, all were captivated by the scene before them, unable to extricate themselves for a long time.
Yet, they did not notice the first song of a summer cicada echoing from the mountains!
Singing of new life!
Buzz—
Accompanying the cicada’s song was a star from beyond the heavens.
That brilliant star burned, streaking across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths from beyond the heavens, turning dusk into dawn.
“Inner Scenery!”
“Someone is breaking through beneath the Qingyuan!”
Someone shouted, and everyone fell silent.
Elder Xu, in his astonishment, muttered to himself:
“We just made an excuse, but he’s actually breaking through?”
A meteor from beyond the heavens, a long night breaking into dawn, the first scene!
However, the immense power surging within the Qingyuan clearly continued, endlessly, boiling with the Origin Qi of heaven and earth, washing over the dense Chaos.
“Hmm? What’s wrong with you?”
Shang Qinqing was startled and helped Qin Yuzhi, who was leaning limply against her, upright.
“Someone is watching here.” Qin Yuzhi’s face was pale.
Shang Qinqing frowned and asked, “Are they people from Dijin?”
Having once been the God Summoning Sect Leader, Qin Yuzhi had touched the Eighth Realm, and now she was a Controlling Mystery powerhouse who wielded a Great Dao.
Moreover, she had once contended with a true Nine Heavens Immortal, though the latter was only an Yi Soul.
How could she not even withstand the prying of another’s Yi Soul?
“I don’t know, but I can feel there’s no malice.”
Qin Yuzhi’s face was ashen, and she shook her head, clutching it.
“You’re like this, and there’s no malice?”
“Their Yi Souls didn’t even notice me! Otherwise...”
“Their...?”
Shang Qinqing’s scalp tingled, and she looked up at the sky.
That streaking fire from beyond the heavens was not any martial art.
What did this strange phenomenon symbolize?
It definitely wasn’t a falling star flame!
Rumble—
Before Shang Qinqing could figure it out, the scorching flames of world purification appeared.
A fire lotus bloomed in the Void Realm, circulating between life and death.
The Pure World Fire Lotus, the second scene!
“I once saw Li Shaoxia’s karmic fire; he probably practices the Art of Fire Heart Lotus Birth, but how could an advanced martial art produce such a strange phenomenon?”
“No, when Shang Wu condensed her Inner Scenery, the phenomenon was far less grand.” freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Not only were the Jianghu people who came to act as Protectors confused, but even the Qingyuan Sect members were puzzled.
However, the strange phenomena gathering in ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ the Inner World did not give everyone time to ponder.
A corner of the twilight descended.
The sky was lit with countless stars; they appeared chaotic, but in reality, they all moved in mysterious and unfathomable trajectories.
They... did not belong to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!
