Chapter 1527: Chapter 1526: Nine Stars in a Row?

"This is the duty of human cultivators. Go..."

"Yes."

Mo Huajian and the other three slightly bowed and left the room.

Fang Yu also sent a message to Ding Chunqiu that evening, informing him of the matter.

Ding Chunqiu, having idle manpower, happily agreed and sent two elders to Emperor City.

...

As night fell.

The night descended, with stars scattered across the sky.

Fang Yu still didn’t leave the room, sitting cross-legged and practicing breathing exercises.

Though his cultivation no longer required breathing exercises to increase primordial qi, he felt somewhat uncomfortable not practicing, after years of forming the habit.

Just as Fang Yu felt refreshed.

He heard the sound of the housekeeper turning on the TV from outside.

Although separated by a courtyard, Fang Yu’s divine sense and hearing were enough to catch the sound from the TV.

"Evening news, tonight at nine o’clock, will be this century’s rare Nine Stars Alignment. Nine Stars Alignment, also known as Nine Stars Convergence, Nine Stars in a Line, is an extremely rare astronomical event..."

Fang Yu opened his eyes, no longer listening.

Since ancient times, people have held a sense of awe towards the stars in the sky, whether in ancient times when astronomy was undeveloped, or in its budding development in modern times, even today, some link mysterious astronomical phenomena with various disaster theories. The "Nine Stars Alignment" theory is one such example. It’s said that during the end of the world, there may occur a phenomenon where the sun, Earth, and planets align in a straight line, the sun’s trajectory in the sky will pass through the center of the Milky Way, putting Earth under the pull of a stronger, unknown cosmic power, accelerating Earth’s destruction.

In fact, someone analyzed the timing of historical earthquakes and believed that the frequency of earthquakes seemed higher around the time of "Nine Stars Convergence", though it’s still undetermined.

...

Thinking of this.

Fang Yu couldn’t help but sigh slightly.

"Nine Stars Alignment, almost forgot... let’s go take a look."

With a flick of his form, he disappeared on the spot.

In the night sky, Fang Yu hovered with his hands behind his back.

Looking up at the sky.

In the vast cosmic starry sky.

A spectacular sight where the nine major planets aligned in a line appeared.

Not a straight line, yet aligned as one.

A faint fluctuation appeared in the cosmic air, like ripples vibrating on the calm ocean surface, spreading outward circle after circle.

In the city, the crowd took out cameras to capture the scene.

Astronomers recorded this spectacle completely.

At this moment...

The ripples vibrated continuously, surging like tides and gathering together,

followed by.

The ripples turned into shock waves heading towards Earth.

"Not good!"

Fang Yu’s eyes widened, "Mediating Creation!"

With Fang Yu at the center, the entire sky seemed to turn to daylight.

Inverted Yin Yang, stirred the rivers and seas.

Everything changed colors.

The astronomers’ telescopes showed a scene of daylight, nothing could be seen.

...

In the sky.

The terrifying energy exploded like a powerful weapon, painting the sky.

The energy shock wave struck like it hit a glass pane.

Forming a giant halo.

Sparks flew.

This scene was so beautiful.

But at the same time, it shattered the preconceived understanding all astronomers had about Nine Stars Alignment.

This kind of scene was absolutely unprecedented.

...

People stood on the ground, watching the sky as splendid as fireworks, unaware of the terrifying energy.

Just as humans marveled at the sky’s spectacle.

A figure left a distinct long tail in the air.

Due to the speed being too fast, creating huge sparks from friction with the air.

Zoom.

Zoom zoom—

...

Boom!

It fell into the Pacific Ocean east of Wanxian City.

Waves rolled.

Cultivators scrambled out, flying over the sea to search for traces.

Many cultivators even carried cameras, hoping to document the spectacle from the alien domain.

Some cultivators hoped to find some treasures from the alien realm in this encounter.

Hence.

A large number of cultivators rushed toward the ocean without any organization.

All were cultivators above the Heaven Stepping Realm; those below couldn’t fly for long and didn’t dare to go easily.

Only a few bold cultivators below the Heaven Stepping Realm dared to rent boats and sail boldly.

...

About half an hour later.

At the place where the shock wave fell, the sea surface already had many cultivators floating back and forth, investigating.

"What exactly happened here?"

"The shock wave from Nine Stars Alignment, it could be extraterrestrial meteorite."

"Then it can’t be found; the meteorite likely fell into the seabed!"

"If it’s in the seabed, I advise everyone not to search... scientists have detected a major change in the underwater world, the seabed area is three times the land area, and the fierce beasts inside are even more terrifying. If you encounter a beast of millions of years, everyone’s doomed." someone said.

"Million-year fierce beasts aren’t so easily encountered, it’s said that when Emperor Yu personally visited the fortress, he personally slew a million-year fierce beast. Until now, that’s the only fossil-like resurrected fierce beast."

"That’s why it’s scary, who can guarantee there aren’t fossils in the underwater world? Marine fossils, marine creatures are far more terrifying than those on land."

This remark left the present cultivators speechless.

It’s the truth, they were educated in geography. Knowing the marine world’s creatures are more diverse.

Whales alone are gigantic, and various sharks, after mutation, become much stronger.

Deep sea still has many unknown fierce beasts.

Once they appear.

These cultivators aren’t even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.

No one dared to venture into the seabed.

Seeing the distant sailboats coming, two Heaven Stepping Realm cultivators immediately shouted:

"Are you crazy? Go back! Are you risking your lives?"

"Huh?"

"The shock waves can easily awaken giant beasts in the seabed, if any fierce beast of ten million years emerges, you’ll die without a grave! Quickly go back!"

Upon hearing there were fierce beasts in the seabed.

The cultivators who came by boat were frightened and turned pale, no longer daring to think of treasures, turned around and ran!

Soon, disappeared into the night.

...

The cultivators patrolled the sea surface for a while, and upon finding nothing, abandoned the search.

A small portion of people patiently waited.

After an indeterminate time, flames emerged from the sea bottom.

"Quick, look, what is that?"

"There’s a light!"

The underwater world is famously dark.

Plus, on such a night, the underwater world is even darker.

How can there be light?

...

Meanwhile.

In the underwater world.

A ball of light was wrapped in gang qi.

And the person wielding this gang qi was Fang Yu.

Fang Yu was also surrounded by gang qi. Seawater couldn’t get close by any measure.

"Whoa... such strong shock wave, turns out it’s a ball of flame."

The seawater in the underwater world was very calm.

Also very quiet.

When he fell into the seabed, Fang Yu used his powerful desolate divine sense to drive away nearby fierce beasts, focusing on taming the restless flame.

"Is this the star fire from the Alien Domain?"
