Book of Disaster

The so-called kings and saints have always been rare.

For an ordinary warrior, after a lifetime of hard training and with extraordinary physique and natural intelligence, it is quite good to be able to reach the level of Martial Saint. An Emperor is even more powerful than a Martial Saint.

The emperor-level strongmen look down on all directions. Each of them is like a pillar of the empire, sitting in charge of all directions, determining the destiny of the country, and deterring foreign enemies.

"Taibao, how long will it take to gather twenty-eight emperor-level warriors?"

"Your Majesty, the heavens are abnormal. The atmosphere between the countries on the continent is a little off. The relationship between us and the other countries is also quite tense. It will take at least three days to summon 28 emperor-level masters. If we forcibly recall them, it will inevitably cause a gap in defense. When the time comes, the other countries will take advantage of the opportunity to invade. The damage to the border will not be worse than the situation in the capital today."

Taibao said with a serious face.

As soon as the voice fell, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became heavier and more depressing.

Three days... By that time, the capital would probably be doomed. Even if enough emperor-level warriors were gathered, it would probably be of no avail.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for what I have to say, but the most urgent task is to find a way to rescue the hundreds of children from noble families trapped in the Wuhun Valley."

At this moment, in the hall, a leader of the imperial guards finally couldn't help but stepped forward and bowed.

"The sealing of the passage can wait, but the children trapped there can't. Because of the martial spirit awakening ceremony, almost every family has descendants trapped inside. With their strength, if the court doesn't take action, I'm afraid they will all die in half an incense stick at most."

The leader of the Imperial Guards had an anxious look on his face as he spoke, and he made no effort to hide it. It was obvious that he also had descendants or children trapped in the Spirit Valley.

"Yes, Your Majesty, there are priorities. The most urgent task is to rescue those children first."

Soon, everyone else in the hall echoed the sentiment. Almost all of them were related in some way, so how could they hold back now?

Someone came forward, and more and more people followed suit, and the hall suddenly became noisy.

However, at this moment——

"shut up!"

"Do you think His Majesty doesn't want to save them? Let me ask you, how much do you know about the first level of the ancient formation outside the Wuhun Valley?"

Inside the main hall, an old priest with grey hair and who looked very experienced suddenly stood up and spoke. His eyes were like lightning, quickly sweeping over everyone in the hall.

After being shouted at by him, everyone calmed down immediately. They timidly glanced at the man on the dragon throne and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that he did not look angry. Then, everyone looked at the old priest in confusion.

The ruins in Wuhun Valley were left over from the ancient times. Many people probably just know the name but know nothing else. But what does this have to do with everyone wanting to save those children?

No one understood what the old priest meant.

"Let me tell you."

At this time, the old Taoist priest took over the conversation. Before he finished speaking, he slammed the bone staff in his hand heavily on the ground.

boom!

As a wisp of black smoke slowly rose from the top of the bone staff, a faint light suddenly burst out, and a picture of light and shadow quickly appeared in front of everyone in the hall.

The scene was full of devastation, with the ground collapsing, rocks falling everywhere, and even the white jade railings connected to the mountain wall were broken into pieces.

A huge black light curtain shield enveloped everything in front of him. Through the shield, he could faintly see the thick black smoke and the shadowy and panicked figures inside.

This scene is exactly what is happening in the Wuhun Valley at this moment!

"You may think this is a simple formation, but in fact, it has nothing to do with formations in the general sense, because... this is a seal left over from the ancient times, a mother-child seal formation."

The old Taoist's voice rang in everyone's ears. His voice was calm, without any ripples.

As he spoke, he suddenly extended a dry finger from his right hand that was holding the bone staff and lightly pointed at the air. The scene in everyone's eyes changed again.

The huge black light curtain shield suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a complicated sealing formation.

The formation is composed of huge sealing talismans that are intertwined with each other yet echo each other from a distance. Dark golden streams of light shuttle back and forth between the talismans, making it look magnificent and mysterious.

And in the center of the interlaced sealing talismans, there was actually a pitch-black hole, which not only kept spewing out black smoke, but also some hideous figures were constantly crawling out of it.

They are those dark creatures from the universe in the Wuhun Valley!

"This sealing formation was not designed to protect anyone from the beginning. It was designed to seal the hole there and prevent the forces and creatures from the dark side of the universe from entering the human world."

"It's not difficult to rescue the children in the Spirit Valley right now, but once we do that, the first seal will inevitably collapse and cease to exist. The dark channel in the universe will also expand at a speed of tens of times, and finally expand to the entire capital."

"By then, it will not only be the hundreds of children and the people in the capital who will be in danger, but also all the cities and people of the Yuan Dynasty. If this happens, have you really thought it through?"

As the old Taoist priest spoke, his eyes were as fast as lightning, quickly sweeping over the ministers in the hall.

Everyone in the hall changed their expressions, even the old guard who was closest to the Human Emperor couldn't help but change his expression.

The first layer of protective formation turned out to be of such great importance, which was something no one had expected before. Even the military generals and civil officials who were most anxious to save the younger generations of their families could not help but hesitate at this moment.

“Are these children simply going to be sacrificed?”

In the main hall, a leader of the imperial guards whose descendants were in the Spirit Valley muttered to himself, his face looking extremely grim.

Everyone was in a heavy mood and no one spoke.

The old Taoist priest glanced at everyone, was silent for a moment, and continued:

"But these are not the problems you need to worry about, nor are they the reason why I am here. Compared to the disaster in Wuhun Valley, there are bigger problems right now."

"Old Heavenly Master, did you bring that thing?"

Sitting on the dragon throne, the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty stood still like a mountain, without much commotion, until this moment he spoke.

Obviously, he already knew what the old Taoist said.

"Ah."

The old master nodded.

"Your Majesty, you have a natural connection with nature. Your perception is correct. Something is wrong deep underground."

As the old Taoist priest spoke, his other skinny left hand suddenly stretched out from his wide sleeves, and between his five fingers was a spherical object.

Its surface is dark, but has silver lines on it, which looks exquisite and strange. Looking closely, it turns out that it has sixty-four sides, which seem to correspond to the Bagua in the Book of Changes, and each side is a standard octagon.

And on the top and bottom of this hexahedron, there are Yin-Yang Bagua patterns.

The moment it appeared, the light in the hall suddenly dimmed, and the rules of the surrounding heaven and earth changed drastically. Even the void was distorted and vibrated, which was extremely mysterious.
