Chapter 4843
At that moment, the entire world of Heaven and Man underwent a sudden and drastic transformation.
The once clear sky darkened in an instant as ominous storm clouds gathered, churning violently as if poised to consume the world itself.
Mountains trembled, rivers surged, and the earth split apart, deep fissures spreading like the gaping maw of a monstrous beast.
The wind howled, sweeping up sand, stones, and shattered vegetation, producing an eerie, piercing wail.
Birds took frantic flight, and wild beasts scattered in terror, sensing an impending catastrophe.
“What… what’s happening?” Nan Batian gasped, his eyes widening in shock. The sheer magnitude of the upheaval left his voice trembling.
Li Chunfeng narrowed his eyes, his gaze locked onto the jade slip in Kai’s hand. With a deep, solemn tone, he said, “This jade slip must be the cause of this upheaval. There’s an incredible secret hidden within it.”
Taoist Wuji stroked his beard, a trace of concern flashing in his eyes. He murmured, “A disturbance of this scale… it can only mean one thing—the Great Formation of Heaven and Earth is about to manifest. And Kai is the one bringing it forth.”
“If the Great Formation of Heaven and Earth appears, we may finally find a way to break through it. That would mean a chance to return to the Heavenly Realm and escape this place forever!”
Hearing this, both Nan Batian and Li Chunfeng were overcome with excitement.
Returning to the Heavenly Realm had been their greatest desire, and now, it was finally within reach.
Meanwhile, Kai remained completely immersed in the world of the jade slip.
Within the vast, boundless space of his divine consciousness, ancient and enigmatic images flashed like a revolving lantern. He witnessed the birth and transformation of mountains and rivers, the shifting orbits of the sun, moon, and stars, and the endless cycle of life and death.
Faint threads interwove within these images—the very fabric of the laws of heaven and earth taking tangible form before his eyes.
As he delved deeper, Kai felt his consciousness merging with the world of Heaven and Man itself.
He could perceive the breath of every inch of land, the whisper of every gust of wind, and even the collective emotions—joy, sorrow, anger, and pain—of every living being.
And deep within this world, a formidable and ancient force was slowly stirring from its slumber. It was the power of the Great Formation of Heaven and Earth.
“It’s almost time… The Great Formation of Heaven and Earth is about to appear.”
Kai’s heart pounded as beads of sweat formed on his forehead, though he remained oblivious to them.
Summoning all his strength, he extended his consciousness further, striving to forge an even deeper connection with the great formation that was now on the verge of awakening.
Only in this way, when the Great Formation of Heaven and Earth appears, can it be broken more quickly and easily!
…
Fire Burning Sect
Inside a secluded chamber, Wen Haotian sensed the disturbance rippling through the world of Heaven and Man. His expression grew increasingly grave.
“The Great Formation of Heaven and Earth is about to manifest…” Wen Haotian murmured.
Before him, an elderly man with a gray beard spoke with concern. “Ancestor, the Great Formation has appeared. Whether this bodes well or ill remains uncertain, but someone is undoubtedly attempting to break it.”
This man was Wen Nanxing, leader of the Fire Burning Sect and father of Wen Shi and Wen Qing.
Wen Nanxing had not gone into seclusion due to injury—his purpose was to aid Wen Haotian’s recovery.
Wen Haotian’s gaze darkened slightly. “There are both advantages and dangers. Everything in the world follows the balance of yin and yang. But if the Great Formation is broken, it may not necessarily be a bad thing for us.”
As he spoke, his eyes drifted toward a bronze coffin resting in the chamber.
Wen Nanxing hesitated before finally voicing his curiosity. “Ancestor, who is inside that bronze coffin? And why do you infuse it with spiritual energy every day?”
The moment the question left his lips, Wen Haotian’s expression turned ice-cold. His gaze sharpened as he stared at Wen Nanxing.
“How many times have I told you? There are things you should not ask about, things you should not know. It will do you no good.”
A chill ran down Wen Nanxing’s spine. Shuddering in fear, he quickly lowered his head. “Ancestor, I was wrong. I won’t ask again!”
Wen Haotian’s cold expression softened slightly as his gaze returned to the bronze coffin.
“I wonder… will he awaken when the Great Formation of Heaven and Earth is finally broken?” he murmured, lost in thought.
