"Everyone, evacuate the village. Leave this place to him!" the old Patriarch Shi Yunfeng ordered.
They had decided to use Shi Village as a buffer zone, because the entire village had become a great formation that could be activated, one laid down by the Willow Deity long ago.
"Huh, those laws—the chains of order like True Phoenix feathers—are contracting and entering his body, like they're forming a cocoon!"
They saw Shi Hao wrapped in a layer of feathers, transforming into a cocoon, as if undergoing Nirvana once more, waiting to be hatched and reborn.
"The aura of a Supreme... He really is about to set foot on that path!" Golden Lion cried in alarm.
On that same day, at that same moment, a tremendous change took place in the Upper Realm, sweeping across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!
The ancient continents were moving, drifting slowly. They had once been one whole. During the Immortal Ancient Era, the complete Ancient Realm had been shattered by war and split into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Now, an inexplicable power had emerged to guide them. They might connect again and heal.
Beyond that, even more astonishing changes were occurring in the Upper Realm.
"Is the Age of Dharma Decline coming? Heavens, the backlash of heaven and earth!" someone cried out. He came from the Immortal Domain and was a high-ranking figure!
This was a great opportunity. The spiritual energy was so dense it could not be dispersed; it was the essence of heaven and earth. Before a Supreme attained the Dao, they gathered the most fundamental qi of the universe and refined its supreme essence.
Now, so many waterfalls of starlight descended from beyond the domain. Even the wisps that overflowed, no matter how slight, benefited everyone in Shi Village.
