Book of Disaster

There were crowds of people all around, all of them were stunned, staring at Bai Qi as if they were looking at a monster, with shock in their eyes.

Bai Qi swept his eyes through the crowd and soon saw a familiar figure. It was Xu Xuansu who had led everyone away before, but he didn't know when she came back.

Compared to the people around him, only Xu Xuansu was relatively calm, but only slightly.

"how did you do it?"

Xu Xuansu was the first to break the silence.

"what?"

Bai Qi hasn't come back to his senses yet.

"That New World monster, how come you were able to escape the control of its eyes? And... the moment you woke up, it spontaneously combusted and turned into ashes!"

Xu Xuansu stared at Bai Qi closely, his eyes full of inquiry.

"What? Dead?"

Bai Qi was stunned. He thought that the monster from the new world had escaped, but he didn't expect that it was dead. This meant that the black ashes on the ground were the remains of the monster from the new world.

"Hey, I did it. What do you think? Isn't it awesome?"

Bai Qi came back to his senses, chuckled, and admitted it directly without being modest.

This is what it is.

Xu Xuansu stared at Bai Qi in a daze, and for a moment he didn't know whether what he said was true or false.

Everyone who knew something about the new world knew that they could not look directly at these monsters, let alone make eye contact with them. Once controlled, death was almost certain. Even Xu Xuansu was not sure that he would be safe and sound.

After Bai Qi made eye contact with the monster from the new world, he not only broke free from its control and remained safe and sound, but he even caused the monster to spontaneously combust and die.

This was something that had never happened before and completely overturned everyone's cognition.

At this moment, Xu Xuansu looked at the young man in front of him and felt a strong curiosity and shock in his heart.

——This was the first time she felt that she couldn't understand someone of her own age.

……

At the same time, a huge uproar had already occurred in the capital of the Yuan Dynasty.

The wind was blowing wildly, the sound of horses' hooves was endless, and cavalrymen were constantly shuttling through the streets and alleys to convey orders. The atmosphere was solemn and murderous.

Northwest of the imperial palace is the Imperial Observatory.

A huge ancient stone plate stands.

This is a sundial, an extremely powerful ancient spiritual device. The "stars" on the surface of the stone are the embodiment of the rules of creation that echo with countless stars in the dark.

The Yuan Dynasty’s astronomers were able to accurately observe celestial phenomena and predict good and bad fortune through this ancient magical tool.

However, at this moment, the myriad stars displayed on the sundial were in chaos, with all the stars moving around randomly without any pattern at all.

"How could this happen... The star tracks are in disarray and in chaos, totally unobservable!"

"The stars are in chaos! This is an unprecedented disaster!"

Beside the sundial, several astrologers in wide robes and big sleeves looked terrified and full of disbelief.

The starry world that used to be bright and clear was now suddenly plunged into a kind of chaos. It was too dark to be observed, and only a few stars emitting faint light could be vaguely distinguished, but even their star tracks were very scattered.

This is clearly a sign of an approaching catastrophe.

While everyone's hearts were in chaos like a raging storm, in front of the sundial, an old astrologer who was over seventy years old had his eyes slightly closed, and the five fingers of his right hand, like dead branches, kept pinching some special spells to infer something.

"Going up and down, this belongs to the formation hexagram, which is the most ominous of the Qiankun Bagua. The sky and the earth are ominous, and dragons and snakes are rising from the land. This is a sign of a dam being destroyed by an ant hole, a sign of a great catastrophe. What happened in the Wuhun Valley? Who caused such a great human disaster? The capital is in danger, and the situation here must be reported to His Majesty as soon as possible. In addition, the situation here is related to the dark side of the universe, and the old Heavenly Master must be asked..."

"Report! The old Taoist priest has been summoned to the palace."

"what?"

All the star officials were shocked when they heard this.

So fast?

Your Majesty will not easily usurp the authority of the Imperial Observatory. Only when something urgent happens will he specially invite the retired twelfth generation Celestial Master to come for help. Could it be that this matter is far more serious than what they saw in the stars?

In an instant, everyone looked up at the sky above the star tracks, with a heavy heart, trying to deduce more information from the vast chaos.

……

Soon, the news of the shocking changes in Wuhun Valley had spread to all high-level officials in the capital, and all the major aristocratic families were swarming around the outer perimeter of the imperial city, all wanting to pay homage to the Human Emperor.

All the leaders of the Imperial Guards, Feathered Guards, and even the Emperor's Dragon Guards were summoned by the Human Emperor to enter the Huangji Palace. Even all the old priests in the palace disappeared.

At this moment, the door of the Huangji Palace was closed, and the leaders of almost all forces gathered here, and the atmosphere was solemn.

boom!

Suddenly, the tightly closed door of the hall opened, and a long shadow was cast into the hall against the light. At some point, a mysterious old man with a bone staff appeared at the door of the hall.

In an instant, endless strong winds rushed in, as if a world was suddenly opened up.

The old man's eyes were like the deep sea, his hair was like silver threads, and his wide black robe with sleeves embroidered with the twenty-eight constellations and the stars in the sky, flickering like fireflies. His demeanor gave people a feeling of being unfathomable.

Boom!

The old man leaned on a bone staff and stepped over the threshold. Each step was so heavy that it made a rumbling sound on the ground.

Inside the hall, everyone turned around, their eyes piercing through gold and stone as they looked towards the door. However, the moment they saw the old man, their solemn expressions suddenly relaxed, as if they had found their backbone, and they calmed down a lot.

"Old Master!"

"Meet the old master!"

……

Everyone bowed their heads with expressions of great respect.

The only one who could gain the respect of so many leaders of the imperial palace was the twelfth-generation old Heavenly Master of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, who was highly respected and was said to be able to predict the future 500 years ahead and 500 years to come, and whose merits were comparable to those of nature and whose divination skills were profound.

Throughout the hall, many civil officials and military officers had received guidance from the old Heavenly Master, and had been blessed with his words of advice and pointers. Afterwards, everything turned out just as the old Heavenly Master had expected, a true master of divination, just like a god.

The old Heavenly Master had already hidden in the Great Tianlong Temple sixty years ago, and even high-ranking officials had no chance to see him. But unexpectedly, he would appear here today.

"Old Heavenly Master, you are here!"

Just when there was silence in the hall, a powerful and arrogant voice with the domineering aura of an emperor suddenly came from the dragon throne above the hall. It was the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.

"Your Majesty summoned me, how could I not come?"

The old Taoist priest spoke, his voice was rhythmic, powerful and strong, without any trace of old age.

"Old Heavenly Master, the dark side of the universe is surging into the Martial Soul Valley, and hundreds of noble family disciples are trapped inside. This is a serious matter. Do you have any good ideas to close the dark side of the universe again?"

"Your Majesty, the method is not difficult. It only requires twenty-eight emperor-level masters to work together to push the Wuhun Valley's formation, and then we can close the dark channel of the universe and eliminate this disaster."

The old Taoist priest spoke lightly, but except for the Yuan Emperor sitting on the dragon throne, everyone else's expressions changed suddenly.
