Chapter 687: Chapter 444 Breakthrough, Starlight Enters the Pill!_2
He must preserve his life in the Central Plains.
“Mmm.”
“Also, the piece of the Jade Seal that carried part of Japan’s national fate has been repaired and is now almost ready.”
“Good.”
Jingtai’s responses were very brief.
Suddenly, a ssage was announced from outside, and a figure clad in the Black Armored Imperial Guard’s attire walked up to the top of the Observatory, knelt down facing Jingtai, and presented a crimson Jade Box with both hands.
“Your Majesty, the Divine Pill refined in the Sacrificial Hall has arrived.”
“Mmm…”
Capital, Qingyun Temple.
The old temple master, with white hair and beard, was gently wafting a feather fan, sitting on a recliner as if he was asleep.
West City, the Lesser Thunderclap Monastery.
Pu Xian Bodhisattva sat in a higher position, twirling Buddha Beads in his hand, reciting scriptures.
Ti ticked by, second by second, and the starry sky remained incredibly dim.
Chen Yuan sat alone on a ditation mat, recuperating his spirit.
What he did not know was that he was not the only one paying attention to the Seven Stars in a Row; yet, this was within reason for such a rare astronomical phenonon that occurs once in decades.
Many powerful beings with profound cultivation were able to predict it in advance.
The third watch of the night.
Approximately the wee hours of the morning.
Finally, there was a change in the void; the dark clouds that had obscured the heavens and earth began to dissipate for reasons unknown, replaced by a bright moon hanging in the sky.
To the east of the bright moon, several bright stars began to draw closer together.
In just a short mont, they ford a straight line across the sky.
A natural wonder, the Seven Stars in a Row.
From the dispersion of the dark clouds to the formation of the Seven Stars, it took a very short ti; those not paying close attention to this could easily have been misled.
Chen Yuan too opened his eyes, a glint of sharpness flashing within them.
Looking up briefly at the starry sky, he closed his eyes again, using his spirit to reach out to the Qi Fortune Altar deep within his consciousness. As for this Exotic Treasure,
he had no way to control it, but when he ditated quietly in the middle of the night, he could sense its existence.
Imperial Palace, Observatory.
The mont the Seven Stars aligned in the sky, Jingtai in the void opened his eyes almost simultaneously with Chen Yuan, his condition elevated to its peak.
Beneath him, beams of light began to ascend.
Preparing to start drawing in the starlight.
The purpose of the Observatory was to harness the starlight, which housed its own exquisite thod. The entwined rays of light shot up into the heavens, and at this mont, Jingtai opened the crimson Jade Box that had been presented to him earlier.
Inside it was a red pill the size of a baby’s fist.
The red Divine Pill slowly floated up and was swallowed by Jingtai in one gulp. The Cultivation Technique began to operate imdiately, his Daoist robe billowed without any wind, and the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy around him surged in an instant.
Above the Nine Heavens, as the seven stars connected into a line, their light magnified spectacularly, eclipsing the nearby moon. Under the pull of the Formation,
seven rays of starlight converged into a pillar of light that shot directly toward the location of the Observatory.
Cultivation!
Jingtai was also cultivating, and only by harnessing the starlight in conjunction with the Formation could he temporarily mask the national fate that enveloped him, hoping to breakthrough.
Qingyun Temple.
The old temple master slowly opened his eyes and picked up the feather fan beside him, seemingly ready to fan himself.
Lesser Thunderclap Monastery.
The movent of Pu Xian Bodhisattva twirling the Buddha Beads in his hand suddenly seized, and he looked up at the sky, about to throw the beads in his hand.
At this very mont.
As the pillar of the Seven Stars was about to fall on the Capital, it suddenly shifted eastward.
In Chen Yuan’s eyes, it was a faint Qing dragon that directly enveloped the descending starlight and rushed straight towards him, and he didn’t hesitate.
Imdiately, he spat out a Void Core that floated slowly in the void.
The Qing Qi Fortune, carrying the starlight, entered the Void Core floating in the void directly.
The void suddenly choked, as if it had paused abruptly.
Right after that, Chen Yuan’s Void Core burst into radiant light, directly corresponding with the Seven Stars in the sky; instantly, a powerful presence enveloped the entire hillside.
…
…
“Who is it?!!!”
At the Imperial Palace Observatory, Jingtai watched this scene incredulously, witnessing the starlight that was about to descend being diverted eastward in the blink of an eye and concealed within the night sky.
What followed his shock was fury!
He had built this Observatory for decades, flawlessly, aiding him imnsely.
He had observed a year ago that the Seven Stars in a Row would appear today, prepared to use it to temporarily sever the national fate and achieve Shattered Core and Yang Transformation.
But…
Just at this critical juncture, sothing went wrong.
How could he not be enraged?
He had kept the news of the upcoming phenonon of the Seven Stars in a Row tightly sealed; no hint of it had leaked out. Ever since Japan erected the Suru Illusion Realm and made a challenge, everyone’s attention in the Capital had been focused on Chen Yuan.
Furthermore, to be absolutely sure, he had the Royal Family powerhouses manipulate the void to shroud the Capital in dark clouds, leaving only a short mont of opportunity.
Still, there was a slip!
“Your Majesty, calm your anger!”
Cao Zhengxian hurriedly spoke out.
The guards nearby, the Imperial Guards, also knelt down in unison.
The might of heaven is unpredictable.
Jingtai’s face was gloomy and uncertain as he wondered who had such audacity and capability to intercept the starlight. Martial artists below the level of True Monarch couldn’t achieve this feat.
Which ans…
Was it a True Monarch within the Capital?
Was it that person from Buddhist ranks, or so high-ranking official in the court?
Or had an unknown powerful being infiltrated the Capital?
Just to foil him?
It seed…unlikely.
Could it be that soone was courting death?
