Chapter 393: Chapter 390 The 2nd Heavy Ominous Sign: Ying Huo Heart Guarding!

In a certain room of the Cloud Jade Restaurant.

Seven Killing Star, Po Jun Star, Lianzhen Star, Greedy Wolf Star, Ziwei Star, Heavenly Mansion Star, Mars Star, Heavenly Image Star, Sun Star, Giant Gate Star, Heavenly Mechanism Star, Taiyin Star, Heavenly Liang Star, Tiantong Star.

A total of fourteen main stars’ brilliant lights and shadows were reflected, forming a complex "Ziwei Life Plate" in mid-air.

Wang Yuan, Huang Wu, Guo Feihu, and Xin Ruoheng each sat cross-legged on meditation cushions, positioned at the four corners of the room, enclosing the life plate in the middle.

They were four Dou Department Immortal Officials, each at least at the Yellow Seal Realm, jointly initiating the "Ziwei Counting."

This was only to confirm whether the information about "offering a human sacrifice on the half of the eighth month" was true or false.

If left to their own devices without any evidence, they probably would never figure it out until their deaths.

However, knowing the outcome and then retracing the calculations to verify its truth was hardly a difficult task.

Xin Ruoheng, the highest in Taoist ability among them, first stretched out his hand to push the "Ziwei Life Plate," setting it into slow rotation, while forming a mantra with the other hand at his chest and intoning:

"Xiyi looks up at the stars in the sky, used for counting and dictating human fate."

Guo Feihu, also of the Earth Essence Realm, followed with the second push, also forming a mantra and chanting:

"Not reliant on the five planets’ festivals, just base it on the year, month, day, and hour of birth."

After that, Wang Yuan and Huang Wu pushed the third and fourth times, chanting in succession:

"First secure one’s own life and destiny, Ziwei and Heavenly Mansion arrange the stars."

"Tribulation empties and harms, Heavenly Kui Spear, Heavenly Horse carries the ominous gods."

The four of them pushed the life plate in turn, reciting mantras, pushing it a total of five rounds.

Finally, as the entire "Ziwei Life Plate" spun faster and shone brightly, completely aligning with the heavenly stars, they each formed their "Life Star Seal" and shouted in unison:

"Life in prosperity determines wealth, sitting in void determines decay! Hasten as the decree commands, set!"

Buzz—!

The room exploded with dazzling starlight, and a bright "true" character flashed momentarily but was captured by the four people.

"Half of the eighth month, offering a human sacrifice, it’s indeed true!

From the sixteenth of the seventh month to the fifteenth of the eighth month, we almost have a month’s time."

Wang Yuan, seeing the result of the calculation, slightly relaxed.

In addition to the bare commander, the families of the remaining personnel, over ten thousand in number, were all held in the "Past World" of the Three Yang Small Realm.

Since the people in the city were all preordained meals for the No-Life Buddha, there is no need to worry about them falling victim before the day of the blood sacrifice.

Moreover, although the time when "Moon Essence · Jade Rabbit" was chasing Huang Wu coincides with the "offering of a human sacrifice," this had become superfluous.

That day would surely be filled with tribulation energy, even the Great Fate, who was as partial to drinking as his life, might personally act.

If that rabbit dares to come out?

There won’t even need for Huang Wu to think about any trivial chants.

The biggest likelihood might just be: Gosh, Taibai, this Jade Rabbit is so cute, quick, bring half of it for your big sister!

"Right, there’s one more thing I need everyone to consider."

Wang Yuan nodded to Huang Wu.

She waved her hand.

A Moonlight Treasure Mirror spontaneously formed, presenting the scene that Wang Yuan had seen in the Imperial Palace before the disintegration of "Gods within Three Feet Above," right in front of everyone.

It showed three concubines, faces pale with terror, being escorted by a group of Military Leader level guards toward the Three Yang Small Realm.

Even amidst serious incidents like the destruction of the Imperial Palace or the assault by a comet on the moon.

These Imperial Eunuchs and No-Life Dao Military Leaders always steadfastly protected them, not leaving their side by half a step.

Moreover, a continuous stream of Daoist Soldiers, without the need for orders, converged around them immediately.

The security level was far beyond comparison even to that of Emperor Zhou Jingliang.

At this moment, the senior disciple Zhu Bo’an had already sent news of "Ming King Descending" to Wang Yuan.

"The old Buddha descends, Ming King is born. Change heaven and earth, create Qiankun!"

It means a "Ming King" representing the will of the No-Life Buddha would be born, leading the No-Life Dao and people to change and create a White Sun Era.

The composure of No-Life Dao had been proclaimed for thousands of years, making it almost customary to the ears.

Every time the forces of No-Life Dao rose up, their leader would falsely claim to be the "Ming King Descending," the master of heavenly destiny, deceiving those naïve men and women into offering their worship.

Normally, no one would believe that at such a crucial moment in this chaotic world, a child favored by destiny would really be born.

Being behind everyone else by ten to twenty years, no matter how prodigious the talent, by the time he grows up, the opportunities would have long gone cold.

Unless this period of chaos, much like the era of the Three Kingdoms that lasted for sixty years, the age at birth would just be right.

However, contrasting the demons’ overly anxious attitude towards the three concubines, one cannot help but believe this might be the greatest possibility!

The convergence of two peculiar aspects suddenly made Wang Yuan feel that this "Ming King Descending" was likely full of mysteries.

The unfolding of events might not go as Su Guyun wished.

After obtaining a male Pure Yang Dharma Body, she could smoothly ascend to the throne as the leader of No-Life Dao and concurrently take in all White Lotus Holy Daughters.

Moreover, the three concubines seemed to have protections far transcending the level of Wang Yuan’s Dharma Body Realm.

p>[Eyes as Dark as Azure]couldn’t penetrate the reality in their wombs.

After hearing Wang Yuan’s explanation, Guo Feihu stroked his long spear-like beard and said with a heavy expression,

"Do you think there’s a possibility that the No-Life Buddha is actually planning on using their wombs to produce his own offspring?"

Of course, this isn’t about reproduction in the conventional sense, but rather a transmission of Daoist Skill on a fundamental level.

Or rather, a deep-seated, life-essential form of "knowledge" pollution.

These Immortal Officials all knew, although both the Heavenly Official and the Corpse Dissection Immortal were of the same realm, the actual gap between their capacities was significant.

If the Corpse Dissection Immortal is a steel dagger, then the Heavenly Official is at least a steel ring-shaped blade!

Though both are lethal weapons, for the former to defeat the latter, it would require more intelligence, skill, and even the alliance of comrades.

Just like in Wang Yuan’s previous life.

The physically powerful yet small-brained dinosaurs and the physically weak but large-brained humans each dominated an entire era.

According to the theory of evolution, both were victors in the ecological competition of their time, just evolving in different directions.

At equal realms, intelligence and unity are the unbeatable magic weapons that have allowed the human clan to hold their ground to this day.

What the Heavenly Official excels in is overwhelmingly overcoming many with one, even able to actively split part of its force to create its own affiliates and offspring.

If such a powerful being were to arrive in the Mortal World through some ritual, its destructive power would likely rival that of the Singing Rhyme Child.

"Perhaps... it really is possible."

Wang Yuan had to admit that Guo Feihu’s reasoning was sound.

He, with his Triple Cave Dharma Body, knew best.

Su Yuru’s Wild Peach Blossom Array filled with wood qi and vitality, where water nurtures wood and wood generates fire, could be used to harmonize yin and yang, water and fire.

If she were to cultivate the Human-Faced Peach Immortal Skill, even the Peach Fairy herself would have to admit defeat.

With this all-encompassing Peach Blossom Array as the bloodline link to create three vessels capable of holding the power of the No-Life Buddha in one go, it made complete sense.

Su Yuru, this naturally flirtatious Empress Dowager, was likely the crucible prepared by the No-Life Dao for the No-Life Buddha!

The security level around her had to be higher than everyone else’s.

"If only we had dealt with them decisively in front of the Nine Dragons Wall when we first saw them,

whether it was true or not, it would all be settled now.

Now that we have alerted them, there’s no opportunity anymore."

Having connected the clues, Wang Yuan couldn’t help but regret missing a good opportunity.

Seeing the somber mood, Xin Ruoheng gently clapped her hands:

"The good news is, the mid-August time node must require specific conditions to be deliberately chosen.

Until then, we no longer need to be anxious.

I’ve just reported our findings to the Great Fate through the Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Net.

Though higher realms mean scarcer manpower, by the latest August 15th, we will have support from an Immortal Official of the Divine Transformation realm.

We aren’t without organization; when the sky falls, there will naturally be tall ones to hold it up.

Until then, we keep still and let things take their course."

Realizing that the enemies’ vulnerabilities were all hidden within the heavily guarded Three Yang Small Realm, unable to intervene for now, Wang Yuan could only nod in agreement:

"Now the final question remains.

We must figure out what exactly this One Day Prison Heavenly Array they rely on is before the day of August 15 arrives!"

...

Time flew by, and soon it was August 12, three days away from August 15.

Unfortunately, until today,

even with the assistance of the Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Net appealing to Guanlan Pavilion, they failed to find any useful records.

Wang Yuan, having devoured several solitary disciples of the No-Life Dao, couldn’t find any clues about the One Day Prison either.

Meanwhile, in Yunjing City, the surface remained calm without any further adverse incidents.

Except for one exception!

With the surging Tribulation Energy continuously accumulating here, even though Guo Feihu, the Ying Huo Star Lord, didn’t engage in any duels or initiate Star Entering Life,

from the beginning of August, every night, half of Red County Shenzhou could see two red stars in the sky shining red light all night long, reappearing the next day.

This has continued until today.

This is another infamous ominous celestial phenomenon—Ying Huo Guarding the Heart!

Actually, it’s "Ying Huo" in conjunction with "Heart Mansion."

Mars, known as "Ying Huo," and Heart Mansion, known as "Great Mars," when two fire elements meet, the sky is filled with red light.

Historical texts state, "Ying Huo signifies chaos, villains, illness, mourning, famine, war and other evils.

When contrary and displaced by two or more houses, disaster follows in three months, military conflict in five, partial land loss in seven, and significant land loss in nine. As it appears and disappears, the nation faces extinction."

And amid this frequent alarming phenomenon, where people were panicking, and citizens from outside the city crazily rushed in to seek refuge,

Wang Yuan looked at a notice posted by the city’s government officials in front of Cloud Jade Pavilion, but the Tribulation Energy above his head suddenly spiked.

"Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, starting tomorrow for three consecutive days, the Emperor attending, celebrating with the people!"
