Countless gazes fell on the black cliff, upon Chen Changsheng, but nobody dared to speak or to step forward and disturb him.
Linghai Zhiwang had earlier stated loud and clear that anyone who dared to take one step toward the black cliff would be regarded as an assassin.
The Prime Minister and the Shi clan leader glanced at each other. There was no happiness in their eyes, only concern and unease.
The concern was because nobody knew what they would see once Chen Changsheng opened this black cliff. If it was the worst result, what would they do? Would the generals, ministers, and tribes that supported them almost immediately bow at the Empress's feet?
Unease arose from two sources.
As the largest and strongest tribe in the Demi-human race, why did the Xiang clan continue to support Madam Mu?
And why had Madam Mu done nothing to stop all this, only quietly watched as they broke the array?
……
……
Not everyone had gone to the Starfall Mountains.
In the courtyard of yellow sands, the young Demon Lord calmly inspected those two stone statues, which had returned to their places by the back gate. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
In the nearby estate, the Xiang clan leader looked at his own son. He hesitated for a long time but ultimately chose to say nothing.
In the stone hall at the highest point of the Imperial City, Luoluo sat by a window, quietly waiting for something.
In a swamp deep in the mountains, Chusu licked at his wounded stump, his body trembling in pain.
In that small courtyard next to the Celestial Tree temple, Xuanyuan Po sat on his front porch, gazing blankly at that small mound.
In an ordinary inn, after enduring a sleepless night, Xu Yourong used water to wash her face, then sat in front of the bronze mirror and began to comb her hair.
A melancholic voice came from the bronze mirror.
”Since you are still beneath the stars, how can you not see all living beings?”
……
……
On the lake, high in the clouds, atop the mountains, countless sword glows abruptly and simultaneously vanished.
A shrill howl resounded through the air.
Countless sword glows returned to the sheath.
Chen Changsheng grasped the middle of the sheath and stood up.
Everyone watched him.
But he was gazing at the lake, the clouds, the mountains.
The swords had returned, but their sword intents were still there.
A flock of geese flew over the snowy peak but was suddenly forced to descend.
A sea breeze blew out from the mountains but was slashed into wisps.
A few drifting clouds in the blue sky were torn by some invisible power into threads which gradually disappeared.
These were all signs that the seal was collapsing.
Only after confirming these things did Chen Changsheng turn his gaze back to the black cliff.
Boom!
Countless thunderous booms came from deep within the black cliff, even deep underground.
The ground quaked and the lake tossed and turned. A nearby mountain shed its snowpack while beasts mournfully wailed.
Rocks were sent flying while dust exploded. It took quite some time for everything to gradually settle.
The black cliff had vanished, leaving only a massive pit, several hundred zhang wide.
At its bottom was an incredibly smooth stone wall, seemingly made of jade or gold. But it also seemed like even the sharpest blade or sword would not leave behind a single mark on its surface.
This was the legendary Starstone, possessing an unimaginable weight and density. Now, however, it was buried beneath dirt and gravel, revealing only a small portion of it to the outside world.
A straight path rose up from behind the Starstone.
The massive pit that was once the black cliff was divided in two by this stone path.
This path was extremely long, extending many li into the distance.
Innumerable gazes followed the stone path, ultimately ending up ten-some li away.
There, half a mountain had collapsed.
This mountain had actually been a palace.
A stone chair was set in the half-mountain.
This stone chair was ten zhang tall and ten zhang wide, massive to an exaggerated level.
One person sat on this chair.
