Chapter 1273: Chapter 1272: The Emergence of Anomalies

At this moment in the Cultivation World, whether mortals or cultivators, no matter which continent’s creatures, all put down what they were doing, craning their necks eagerly to watch the Four Ancient Immortals, transforming into a four-colored stream of light, fleeing far away, out of sight.

Even the most keen-sighted cultivators cannot stand on one continent and see another.

"Are the Four Ancient Immortals going to break the seal?"

"It should be, right?"

Although there were speculations when the Four Ancient Immortals appeared, after all, it was just a guess; who would dare to conclude without witnessing it themselves?

Just as everyone was in doubt, a series of dull thunderclaps sounded overhead, and dark clouds obscured the sky.

"Why is there sudden thunder?"

"At such a critical moment, why is there thunder? Who will disperse it?" A Unification Cultivator frowned, even if he couldn’t see what the Four Ancient Immortals were doing, nothing should obstruct the view. He wanted to cast a spell to fan away the dark clouds and thunder.

"No, this is not ordinary thunder!" A sensitive cultivator stopped his companion, "Look closely, there are changes in this thunder!"

Silver thunder pierced through the dark clouds, rolling in the sky, and the thickness of the thunder was surprisingly consistent, like lines, forming various images.

"The images are of the Four Ancient Immortals!"

Against the backdrop of the dark clouds, using thunder as paint, silver snakes danced, outlining the scene of the Four Ancient Immortals joining hands to open the heavens!

At this moment, if someone stood at the position of the Sun, they would see that the skies above all five continents were covered by thick leaden clouds, impenetrable to light.

This meant that all creatures were fortunate to witness the process of the heavens opening!

Mortals and low to mid-level cultivators were just glad to be able to continue watching the opening process, but the hearts of the Great Cultivators were filled with shock and awe; from ancient times to the present, no one had heard of such variations in thunder and lightning!

"Could it be because this moment holds an extraordinary significance in history, having an unusual implication for the heaven and earth, thus Heaven wants to record this moment with thunder and lightning?"

"Yes, it must be so!"

...

"If I and the Emperor had not lived in the Fairy Palace and had stayed in Great Qian, it would never have perished!"

Guan Shanhai snorted at such claims: "The downfall of Great Qian is the inevitability of history, it has nothing to do with whether you lived in the Fairy Palace or not. The number of Divine Positions is fixed, and each of you Divine Monarchs occupies one. It’s impossible that you would have willingly ceded them to others."

"This led to those below lacking space to rise. The entire dynasty was stagnant. Your Divine Monarchs were merely occupying their positions without fulfillment, and the cultivators below would inevitably rebel. There would always be cultivators who secretly became Semi-Immortals, Immortals, and overthrew Great Qian."

"By comparison, our Great Yu abandoned the Divine Position system from the beginning and established the Imperial Teacher system. If it wasn’t for Wu Yao’s obstruction and I was still in Great Yu, the successive Imperial Teachers would definitely remain loyal to assist the emperors, and Great Yu would never have been doomed."

The Mid-heaven Emperor Lord snorted coldly, with utmost disdain: "It’s just your wishful thinking; your Great Yu is filled with influential families. With each passing emperor, countless families rise, contending with previous families for resources. Family strife, internal chaos within the state, how could the Imperial Teacher system resolve that?"

"If you ask me, The Controller said it best, had I and The Controller stayed in Great Qian, resolved the issue of Divine Monarchs, Great Qian would surely have been passed down through a thousand generations..."

"Even before the founding, Wu Yao and I had researched it; your problem with Divine Monarchs is unsolvable, fundamentally flawed..."

Leaders of both factions argued endlessly about why their own powers had fallen into decay and perished, with neither side yielding to the other.

The Semi-Immortals and those at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage from both sides dared not speak as they were essentially the "Divine Monarchs" and "Family Ancestors."

"Look, there are changes in the sky!"

Someone shouted, drawing the attention of all the prisoners.

The prisoners saw the densely packed dark clouds above their heads, and the thunder outlining the Sky Opening Map, causing the leaders of both sides to temporarily cease their conflict.

"Is the sky opening?"

"What a clever move, using the Tribulation Dao Fruit to induce a Heavenly Tribulation; I’m afraid it’s not just us who can see it above our heads, the entire Cultivation World can witness this scene."

Mid-heaven Emperor Lord clicked his tongue in admiration: "I thought our Great Qian’s Sealing God Ceremony was already extravagant enough, truly worthy of the Four Ancient Immortals, their gestures are even grander."

The Controller slapped his thigh, filled with regret: "Why didn’t I think to use the Dao Fruit like this? If I had used the Enlightenment Tao Fruit to enlighten the Sealing God Platform, I could have pretended to be the will of Heaven sealing gods!"

At this moment, Guan Shanhai and the Controller shared the same thought, equally regretful: "Our Great Yu’s founding ceremony was too conservative, originally I should have used the Imprinting Dao Fruit to imprint a bunch of top-grade Spirit Stones and set them off like fireworks!"

...

Demon Territory.

Qinghe, clutching a Treasure Bag, feels like she has found an incredible treasure; these seeds inside are already extinct now. If planted at Sky Gate Mountain, the adults would surely reward her.

"Why has it turned dark?"

Qinghe looked up, the skies were covered with dark clouds, as four majestic figures were evidently unsealing the seals.

Thud.

Qinghe stared blankly at the sky, the Treasure Bag falling to the ground.

In this moment, the unsealing by the four brothers meant that the adults had left seclusion and gone to Imperial City. Not just the adults, but everyone she knew should be present there.

And she missed the adults coming out of seclusion?!

...

Above the skies of the Wuling Continent, the Four Ancient Immortals perform the Law of Heaven and Earth, transforming into Sky Opening Giants.

Beneath the feet of these four giants, golden lotuses appeared; Earth Bursting Golden Lotuses blooming with each step they took.

Millions of Demon Beast illusions appeared, among them were such extinct species of Demon Beasts. These beasts bowed down to the Qilin Immortal in unison, a grand gathering of all demons.

The Yin Yang Qi merged, branding the Tai Chi Diagram onto the entire land of Wuling, with Two Elements Create Four Symbols, Four Symbols Birth Eight Diagrams, endless and boundless.

Moreover, the yellow Du bell tolls, declaring to all under heaven, with the temporal flow faintly visible, and the Nian Beast galloping and leaping upon these flows...

All these extraordinary phenomena appeared simultaneously around the world, astounding all who saw them.

Such phenomena had never occurred before, yet today they emerged all at once, and anyone who witnessed this scene would feel that the unsealing of the Four Ancient Immortals and the opening of heaven and earth was a great feat, one that even Heaven commemorates with extraordinary signs.

Numerous cultivators were sparked with the aspiration of ’a man should strive to be like this’, resolving to practice cultivation rigorously, aspiring to follow in the footsteps of the Four Ancient Immortals.

Lu Yang and the others were observing from not too far away, trying their best to avoid the Recording Orbs.

Ao Ling, Jiang Lianyi, Jin Caiwei were each holding Recording Orbs, capturing this scene from different angles.

"Don’t you want to show your face in front of the Recording Orb, Fairy?" Lu Yang asked.

Fairy Eternity floated beside Lu Yang, without phenomena, without momentum, without Divine Ability, like an ordinary Soul.

"No, showing off is such a hassle."

Compared to the Four Immortals, Fairy Eternity is low-key. This can be deduced from the Four Ancient Immortals often holding sermons to discuss how to maintain an Immortal’s demeanor, while Fairy Eternity merely listens on the side.

If it was just to unseal, there was no need for so many complex processes and methods; just like Fairy Eternity who quietly spurred on beside, others wouldn’t even notice her activating the Dao Fruit.

But clearly, the Four Ancient Immortals had their own ideas.
