Chapter 642 – The Awe-inspiring Great Array (2/2)
There was no coffin, no funerary objects, only countless bones.
These bones were those palace maids who were willing to follow Emperor Taizong in death.
Yet the cold and hateful Qi within this great mausoleum made the word 'willing' seem debatable.
This cold and hateful Qi had no effect on the people living around North Li of Achieving Merit.
Because a powerful Qi arose from the underground river at the bottom of the mound. Like a cool breeze, it easily washed away this resentment, cleaned those bones.
This Qi soared upwards, straight into the night sky. It released a faint golden luster, shining in awe-inspiring divinity!
……
……
In various places in the capital, similar sorts of phenomena occurred: a stone sculpture as foundation, a crack in the ground attracting flames, a spring flowing in reverse as a soup, or the majestic appearance of an imperial Qi.
Countless powerful Qis soared into the sky, some piercing through the leaden clouds straight into the night sky while others dazzled with a brilliance that outshone the stars. Gradually, they formed into a majestic and spectacular great array.
This array was impossible to see, but cultivators could clearly feel it. They instantly felt as insignificant as dust and also boundlessly reverent.
The reversed spring water that had poured into the foundation in the White Paper District had magically transformed into the famed Golden Broth of the Orthodoxy, yet it was only an extremely small and unremarkable part of this great array.
The imperial Qi that had arisen from North Li of Achieving Merit and broken out of the tomb, cleaning the bones and ascending above the nine heavens, suddenly fell into the Imperial Palace.
The Lingyan Pavilion that had been tightly sealed for several hundred years and was dark as the night began to exude ray after ray of milky white light.
At the same time, an incomparably tyrannical, dignified, and upright Qi appeared in the perceptions of everyone.
This was the head of the Tier of Legendary Weapons that had not appeared for many years: the Frost God Spear!
When he sensed the Qi of the Frost God Spear and the change within the Lingyan Pavilion, Bie Yanghong's expression finally turned grave. The little red flower tied to his pinkie finger suddenly stopped swaying, hovering in the wind.
A river wound around the Mausoleum of Books. Suddenly, the water in the river completely vanished. It had not dried up, but seemed more like it had all been sucked away by the earth.
Seventy-odd objects that seemed like Heavenly Tome Monoliths appeared on the riverbed, a stone forest. The surface of these monoliths exuded a solemn Qi.
The rain clouds that had originally been dispersing in all directions sensed the call of the great array within the capital and gradually began to return. Although they did not completely block out the starlight, they cause the many stars to greatly dim.
The awe-inspiring aura of the array was like countless sharp swords, able to sever even the laws of the world. The strength contained within was enough to execute experts of the Divine Domain!
Wuqiong Bi's face was already very pale, the tyrannical feeling on her face already replaced by fear.
Guan Xingke remained silent. His bamboo hat obscured his plain and unremarkable face, yet it could not hide away his true feelings at this moment.
”This is the Imperial Design?”
Zhu Luo's expression fiercely changed. He turned to the peak of the Mausoleum of Books and asked incredulously, ”You are not of the Imperial clan, so how?”
