Chapter 726: Heaven And Earth’s Tumult
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Endless spiritual Qi crossed a borderless space, coming from above the heavens, from everywhere, into the tornado. Like rivers converging into the ocean, the spiritual Qi gushed into the Residence of Nine Supremes.
The Residence of Nine Supremes' existing dense fog thickened like water, almost condensing into actual droplets. The massive flood of spiritual Qi was still converging to cluster together, still pouring in!
Right in the center of the Residence of Nine Supremes, where Supreme Earth's room was located, was the assembly point of the endless, spiritual Qi. This was exactly where the storm of spiritual Qi in the room was headed to.
Yun Yang was still seated straight in the chair that had originally belonged to Supreme Earth. His eyes were shut tight as he cultivated in concentration.
As time continued to pass, the enormous tornado by the sky did not seem like it was faltering but had instead grown even bigger, while the spiritual Qi that amassed in the Residence of Nine Supremes increased as well. The spiritual Qi that initially washed over Yun Yang's physical form like a storm gradually changed from liquid form to a more solid state. The white spiritual Qi was like tiny elated snakes, surrounding Yun Yang and spinning in glee. Each spiral saw some of the tiny snakes vanishing but there would be more white-colored spiritual Qi snakes filling in the void from the outer layer, spinning on and on…
The replenishment persisted as did the disappearances. The cycle was in a tight, endless loop!
The Residence of Nine Supremes, that had been silent all this while, transformed, engulfed by colors in the unprecedentedly intense fog. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and indigo, the iridescent colors scintillated ceaselessly in their radiance.
After some time, even the entire Tiantang City was illuminated in kaleidoscopic colors by the hues emitted from the Residence of Nine Supremes. It was like the city had been dipped into a layer of liquid rainbow.
This situation was akin to a rare gem which had suddenly appeared in the dark night and flooded the world with its glow; all that was alive in this world, mobile or rooted, was immersed in a peculiar yet dazzling atmosphere…
However, it was still daytime. How could this happen?
As massive a capital as Tiantang City was, there was no one who did not catch a glimpse of this phenomenon. Not only could the view be seen from thousands of miles around Tiantang City, the range was slowly but surely expanding.
A day passed.
The scale gradually spanned across the whole of Yutang. Even people who were tens of thousands of miles away from Tiantang City could clearly see the prismatic colors that dazzled the eye.
Then, the sky's palette began slowly changing again. The colors turned dark from the sunset hues before transforming to shades of blue. Towards the end, it shifted to the purest purple!
It was like that throughout the territory; no stars and moon was within sight. The night sky was like a large swath of deep violet jade, replacing the nightfall that was supposed to be pitch black.
Above this purple sky, where no one could see, endless purple gas from the extreme east rose and surged from the east, billowing over swiftly.
The countless men who witnessed the scene were utterly dumbfounded, stunned as they took in the never-before-seen phenomenon.
…
At the Residence of Yun, Ji Lingxi picked herself up, anxiously looking far towards where the Residence of Nine Supremes was. "Why is there such havoc? Has something momentous occurred?"
Quick as a fleeting shadow, Yun Xiaoyao's tall and lean form appeared from thin air. His face was weighed down with worry, his lips pressed tightly against each other as his eyes gazed towards the region where the very air glowed. He closed his eyes, trying hard to conceal his concern and anxiousness. However, his emotions were long out of his control, exposed and out in the open.
The corners of his mouth twitched incessantly, droplets of sweat beaded on his head.
'Can you still hold out?'
'Can you…'
'What is happening?'
'Why is the Residence of Nine Supremes, that has been quiet for so long, creating such a huge ruckus, now that it has come alive?'
Ji Lingxi asked curiously, "Uncle Yun, is this episode… related to Yun Yang?"
Yun Xiaoyao hovered in the air silently, his gaze at the iridescent location unblinking. It was like he had not heard a word from Ji Lingxi, despite her being so close to him.
Ji Lingxi looked at Yun Xiaoyao with surprise before she bit her lips. "I'll go check it out."
The instant Yun Xiaoyao was out of his trance, Ji Lingxi had already gone far. He could not help hollering, "Don't be rash! Don't go there!"
The shout was deafening, like a thunderbolt out of the blue.
Despite Ji Lingxi's speedy movement, she was halted by the shout. With her current cultivation base level, Yun Xiaoyao's cry should not be of her concern even though it was powerful. It was due to Yun Xiaoyao's other identity – Yun Yang's father, that proved even more overwhelming, as she was frightened. She involuntarily paused and turned around.
"With such a ruckus there, I'm afraid there'll be unpredictable danger. It's better to wait and see!"
Yun Xiaoyao's gaze was brimming with anxiousness and aching struggle, but he had still stared into Ji Lingxi's eyes when he spoke each word slowly, "The Residence of Nine Supremes… is off-limits now! Anyone who goes close will definitely be punished by the heavens!"
What he said was incredibly severe.
"Ah?"
Ji Lingxi cried out immediately, asking with no small amount of concern, "Then… then… will he be alright?"
Yun Xiaoyao did not answer her, only gazing into the distance in a daze. After a long time, he murmured, "He'll be alright, he'll definitely be alright!"
His voice was indescribably firm.
"We only need to wait patiently now, to observe the situation."
"He'll return safely, for sure."
"As long as he returns, this world… it'll be the moment of change!"
Yun Xiaoyao sucked in a deep breath. Droplets of sweat dropped soundlessly from his arms that were rested behind him, hidden from Ji Lingxi's sight. It was from his tightly gripped fists that resulted from his high-strung nerves.
A doctor may not necessarily be able to heal himself – the one who asked others to wait in patience may not actually be at peace!
…
The emperor was chatting with Qiu Jianhan and Fang Qingtian.
"Are you two saying that… Wu Ying is actually so capable? I've overlooked him in the past!" His Majesty exclaimed.
"His great talent will only prove greater rather than come short, compared to what we've said just now. The only words that can describe it is probably only the capability to run the world!" Qiu Jianhan nodded, complimenting the said man's talent repeatedly.
Fang Qingtian was about to add words of agreement when he froze and cried out, "What – what is this?"
Scintillating hues of radiance were all that they saw when the three men turned to look in unison. The source…
His Majesty stood up abruptly to run to the window and could not help the exclamation that slipped from his lips, "The Residence of Nine Supremes? It was the Residence of Nine Supremes that caused such a large commotion?"
The two personages remained silent. Where else from Tiantang City if not the Residence of Nine Supremes that could render such huge episode?
"How come? Nothing this big has happened at the Residence of Nine Supremes before. Is it a warning from the heavens…" His Majesty frowned when he said, "Or is it… Supreme Cloud?"
Qiu Jianhan and Fang Qingtian were quiet. They did not know what was going on as well.
"Such earth-shattering phenomenon… Is Supreme Cloud going to do something? Or is it another external force with ulterior motives?
The emperor picked himself up abruptly. "Come, let's go have a look!"
