Chapter 369: Chapter 269: The Phenonon in the Yujing City Skies and Earth Chapter 369: Chapter 269: The Phenonon in the Yujing City Skies and Earth In the secret chamber of the Demon Sect stronghold, a faint sandalwood scent perated from the incense burner, enveloping the entire room in a haze of smoke. This extraordinary agarwood purged the mind of stray thoughts as soon as one took a whiff, as though clearing them all away at that mont.
An Jing sat cross-legged on a ditation cushion, entering a state of ethereal emptiness, his mind a complete blank, void of any thoughts.
This ditation lasted about half an hour, after which An Jing’s closed eyes slowly opened. His gaze returned to its usual placidity, looking as calm and undisturbed as a deep pond without a ripple.
A breath of foul air gently exhaled from his throat as layers of starlight swirled around An Jing. Before the Naless Heart Scripture had been completed, the perfected Great Celestial Star Refining Body Technique was already set into motion.
An Jing murmured softly to himself as his True Qi began to circulate. His eyes slowly closed again, and as they did, the temperature within the secret room gradually began to rise.
An Jing held great anticipation for this completion.
What kind of terror would result from the fusion of today’s Buddhist, Daoist, and Demon Sect martial arts that all surpassed the Heavenly Martial Level?
The Naless Heart Scripture could be considered the number one martial arts of today and, in An Jing’s eyes, was even the genuine thod to immortality and the Dao.
Within the misty secret chamber shrouded in sandalwood smoke, white fus began to spread, imparting a dream-like illusion to those who beheld it.
On the ditation cushion in the chamber, An Jing sat with his legs crossed, eyes firmly shut. Waves of True Qi surged toward him, threatening to engulf him entirely.
And this was just from the incomplete Naless Heart Scripture.
An Jing’s expression was as calm as ever, revealing no sign of the changes around him; his consciousness was fully imrsed in the completion of the Naless Heart Scripture.
Perhaps because An Jing had practiced the Naless Heart Scripture for many years, and only a part of the Jade Emperor Scripture was missing, the completion of it was not as difficult as he had imagined.
As the Naless Heart Scripture operated, incorporating the ridian points of the Beidou Seven Stars Technique, the complete Naless Heart Scripture started to slowly reveal itself.
If nothing unexpected happened, it would only take about two to three days to fully complete the Naless Heart Scripture. An Jing, who had mastered three martial arts that transcended the Heavenly Martial level, would cause an imnse shock if outsiders knew.
One has to understand that martial arts surpassing the Heavenly Martial level were the pinnacle of the current martial arts world, unattainable by ordinary Grandmasters. Even top Grandmasters could hardly touch on such martial arts, yet An Jing possessed three such arts and had fully integrated them.
Such a feat, in the eyes of many, was tantamount to courting death. However, fortunately for An Jing, who possessed the Earth Book and bore a great destiny, what seed impossible to others was possible for him.
As An Jing’s completion of the Naless Heart Scripture gradually got on the right track, the True Qi in the chamber beca more and more vigorous. In ti, the burning incense simply hissed and turned into ash, falling down under the pressure of such True Qi. Even ordinary Grandmaster experts would not dare to linger long, as the pervasive True Qi in the air could make them burst into blood mist.
As ti passed, the Qi chanism emanating from An Jing’s body continued to strengthen, sending waves of boundless True Qi rolling out like ocean waves, creating a audible whooshing sound.
An Jing was already very familiar with the operating route of the Naless Heart Scripture, while the route of the Beidou Seven Stars Technique required gradually exploring and mastering.
But as ti went by, An Jing found a miraculous commonality between the two and began to rge them.
An Jing’s aura strengthened bit by bit.
In this silent cultivation, a day’s ti blinked away.
After half a day, the concentration of True Qi inside the secret chamber had risen to a terrifying level. Moreover, since the chamber was completely sealed, with no Qi chanism spilling out, the Qi waves rolled tumultuously, and the True Qi was almost liquefying.
Within the secret chamber, various stone tables and chairs were gradually lting, turning into liquid that slowly dripped down and flowed within the room, occasionally bubbles would erge and burst quietly, bringing with them a faint muffled sound.
No one could see such an astonishing scene.
Unknowingly, the stone bed made of stone, too, crumbled into dust under the high concentration of True Qi squeezing it, yet An Jing, who was seated at the center of it all, still showed no sign of opening his eyes, breathing steadily. The True Qi that would have turned an ordinary person to ashes due to its high concentration was now entering his body like two Qi dragons through his nostrils, continuously burrowing in.
An Jing seed as if he had entered a state of mummification without any reaction, if not for the vast aura that could still be felt, rising ceaselessly.
In the midst of cultivation, the concept of ti becos incredibly blurred, so under such a state that resembled mummification, another day passed by imperceptibly.
During this imperceptible ti, the Beidou Seven Stars Technique had already completed the missing pathways of the Naless Heart Scripture, and An Jing was now ready for the first complete circulation. If he could fully run it, it would an that the Naless Heart Scripture was thoroughly complete.
An Jing silently recited the Naless Heart Scripture, letting his True Qi begin to circulate along the complete route.
Boom!
The mont the True Qi began to circulate, the entire Dantian and Qi Sea trembled as if the earth and mountains were shaking.
An Jing hurriedly subdued the trembling, surprised in his heart.
And this was just the beginning, yet it had already caused such a big commotion!?
Outside the secret chamber, the originally clear skies of Yujing City were suddenly obscured by dark clouds. The world instantly darkened, fierce winds howled incessantly.
Amidst this turmoil, there were flashes of lightning, as if sothing terrifying was brewing.
This abrupt change made all the citizens look on in astonishnt, their faces filled with confusion.
Zhao Qingi, dressed in a light blue palace attire, exuding an airy and ethereal aura, stood in the courtyard with a book in her delicate hands. Her stunning and delicate features seed to make the flowers around her lose their color.
“Hmm!?”
She, too, lifted her head at this spectacle, her brows instantly knitting together.
From those pitch-black clouds, she felt an unprecedented pressure that seed even more majestic than the full force exerted by Nangong Weiping. It bore down on her like a mountain.
She had arrived in Yujing City the day before and was aware that An Jing had taken control of the city and obtained the Beidou Seven Stars Technique, and was now in seclusion with the complete Naless Heart Scripture.
Yu Qiurong, standing next to her, also sensed sothing extraordinary and said softly, “Sect Hierarch, what is this!?”
Zhao Qingi replied succinctly, “A natural phenonon.”
“What! A natural phenonon!?”
Yu Qiurong was greatly shocked, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
A natural phenonon occurs when the heavens and the earth produce strange occurrences due to certain changes. Hence it is called a natural phenonon. However, in the long river of history, such phenona are rare, with the most recent one occurring during the establishnt of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was rumored that the phenonon was artificially orchestrated by the Grand Ancestor of the Great Zhou to consolidate his imperial power.
The previous occurrence of a natural phenonon was when the Great Qin Dynasty slew the only True Dragon of the ti, leading to such a phenonon.
As one can imagine, how arduous it must be for such celestial phenona to transpire; yet at this mont, it has indeed appeared.
Zhao Qingi looked towards the direction of the secret chamber, thinking to herself, “It seems that my husband’s guess was not wrong; this ‘Naless Heart Scripture’ might truly be an Immortal Law. Otherwise, how could it possibly draw out a celestial phenonon?”
Yu Qiurong could not sense it, but Zhao Qingi’s current cultivation had already reached the Heavenly Destiny Realm, only a step away from the Land Immortal Realm. She could clearly sense that the origin of the celestial phenonon was right inside the secret chamber.
This celestial phenonon was a blessing, but it could equally be a curse.
At this mont, An Jing was rising high in Great Yan, and now, attracting such a celestial phenonon, he was likely to incur even greater suspicion from that person within the Imperial City.
But let them suspect. If it cos to it, let their suspicions beco reality.
Zhao Qingi simply didn’t care.
…….
The celestial phenonon above Yujing City aroused the curiosity of the citizens, who were all quite astonished at the sight of the lightning and the thunder, and conversations about it filled the streets and alleys. This incident also startled many experts, who were far more aware than the ordinary people of the impact and terror of such a phenonon.
An existence that could cause heaven and earth to quake—how astounding and terrifying was that?
Imperial City, Imperial Study Room.
At this mont, Zhao Xuening was dressed in a plain white gown. Beyond her beauty and dignified elegance, one could not help but sense an added aura of grandeur.
Standing before her was a Daoist, none other than the State Preceptor of Great Yan, Xiao Qianqiu.
Zhao Xuening, with her hands clasped behind her, said with a light smile, “State Preceptor, we et again. I recall our last encounter was at a feast hosted by my Imperial Father. Perhaps you did not notice at the ti, but I have greatly admired you since.”
Xiao Qianqiu gave a respectful bow, saying, “The Daoist has made the Princess laugh.”
Now that the situation in Yujing was settled and Zhao Chongyin was dead, who did not know that this princess was the future Emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty? Xiao Qianqiu, having backed the wrong side, was unlikely to be killed—after all, the current state of Great Yan still required his support. But from now on, the Zhenyi Sect had lost the support of the Great Yan Court, and its national prestige had plumted, which was almost a foregone conclusion.
Zhao Xuening waved her hand dismissively, “The State Preceptor is a backbone of Great Yan. Who could mock him?”
Xiao Qianqiu glanced at Zhao Xuening and seed to understand sothing.
An Jing displayed such formidable strength that he could almost be called the first person under the Great Grandmasters. Such strength was truly terrifying, especially with the backing of the enormous Demon Sect, and within it, the likes of Zhao Qingi, You Gai, Li Fuzhou, and other Grandmaster-level experts.
It’s no exaggeration to say that An Jing now held the power of half the Great Yan Dynasty in his hands and could easily overthrow the imperial authority.
Zhao Xuening spoke softly, “State Preceptor, you are a wise man, and so am I.”
Xiao Qianqiu shook his head, “The Daoist does not seem so.”
Zhao Xuening’s brows furrowed slightly, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes.
This fierce light exploded forth, containing a suprely powerful pressure that, coupled with the oppression of True Dragon Qi in this place, wielded imnse pressure. Even a Grandmaster would tremble inside and feel their knees weaken.
But the person before her was Xiao Qianqiu, the recipient of the Mystical Sect’s founding ancestor’s legacy. Before An Jing and Zhao Qingi appeared, he was the genius with the greatest chance to break free from his restraints.
Such robust cultivation!?
Xiao Qianqiu’s expression was untroubled, but surprise flickered in his heart.
From Zhao Xuening, he felt a strong and domineering surge of Force Qi assault him, obviously indicating that her cultivation was not nonexistent as the rumors stated, but rather profound.
Xiao Qianqiu bowed his hands in respect, “The Daoist has always known to act according to circumstances. Previously, the Zhenyi Sect was the National Religion of the Great Yan Dynasty, sharing both its glory and its trials. It shall be the sa hereafter.”
Zhao Xuening withdrew her Qi chanism, speaking indifferently, “That’s good to hear. State Preceptor, if there’s nothing else, you may withdraw.”
Xiao Qian bowed once again and then left.
In this brief exchange, the two had reached a certain understanding.
Zhou Xianming watched Xiao Qianqiu leave and said with a smile, “The State Preceptor indeed is a wise man.”
Zhao Xuening replied coldly, “He simply understands his worth.”
An Jing didn’t kill Xiao Qianqiu because he did not wish to; it did not an Zhao Xuening felt the sa. But indeed, at this ti, they still needed Xiao Qianqiu and the Zhenyi Sect.
Zhou Xianming had a thought and said, “Your Highness, you revealed your cultivation in front of Xiao Qianqiu. Will this not…”
Zhao Xuening spoke confidently, “Rest assured, Xiao Qianqiu will not speak of it. He knows what he should and shouldn’t say.”
Zhou Xianming nodded. Although Xiao Qianqiu was not the type to hide his brilliance and bide his ti, he was cunning enough to know what to speak and what to keep silent about.
Just then, dark clouds enveloped the outside, dense as molten iron, with the glow of crisscrossing lightning flaring within.
Zhou Xianming felt the oppression and exclaid, “A celestial phenonon!?”
Though young, he was the leading scholar of Confucianism at the ti and clearly understood what this ant.
Zhao Xuening’s brow twisted, imdiately causing the Great Hall to chill, giving an impression of breathlessness.
After a short while, the eunuch Bai i hurried in, “Your Highness, this celestial phenonon seems to originate from where An Jing resides.”
Upon hearing this, the entire Great Hall fell silent.
It was so ti before Zhou Xianming spoke softly, “Brother An…”
What a celestial phenonon represented, no one was ignorant of; otherwise, the Grand Ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty would not have used such a phenonon to solidify his imperial power.
The fissure that had been created seed to grow wider and more difficult to nd by the day.
Suddenly, Zhao Xuening clapped her hands and laughed, “Excellent, I shall soon ascend the throne and proclaim myself Emperor. He has brought a celestial phenonon just in ti, such a tily downpour.”
