Each of the cauldrons was extremely tall. In the pitch-black night, one could feel the slow, black light emitted from their bodies.
Its body was wrapped in a turbid black demonic aura, and its blood-red eyes were glaring at Shui Qiannan.
It stared fixedly at Shui Qiannan; there was not a trace of clarity in its eyes. Suddenly, it rushed towards Shui Qiannan as if it was frightened, turning into a alluring, black-clothed woman in front of Shui Qiannan.
Suddenly, the woman's face began to split open, and a stream of blood flowed out from her eyes. Her extended hand turned into a slender claw, and her eyes were filled with killing intent.
”Whew.” Shui Qiannan took a deep breath and sat up from the bed. The reality of this dream had shocked her.
That demonic beast was clearly the Black Tortoise described in the ancient books. It was one of the four ancient mythical beasts that caused demons and monsters to tremble with fear. How could a Black Tortoise fall into the demonic path? There was also the woman with the strange smile and face.
The two arts gave birth to four phenomena, the four phenomena gave birth to nine cauldrons, and the nine cauldrons gave birth to the demonic spirit.
Shui Qiannan's expression was heavy, he did not know what this dream meant. For the past three years, she rarely dreamed, and every time she dreamed, it was extremely strange. In the end, it all happened in reality. But today, this strange dream was something she had never dreamed before.
Could this be the strange movement that Gong Ze spoke of? Could it be that the Nine Furnace Demon Spirit is a demonized Black Tortoise?
However, there was a remnant phrase that was recorded in the Cangyue Mirror: Five thousand years ago, the Ancient Divine Beast, Xuan Wu, broke away from the Immortal Dao, fell into the demonic path, and followed the devilish woman. Since the demoness' tribulation failed three thousand years ago, the Black Tortoise had been destroyed on the Demon Sealing Stone.
Shui Qiannan was inexplicably displeased. Looking at the sleeping Little Right, he covered Little Right with the quilt and got off the bed. Shui Qiannan put on a coat, opened the door, and walked out.
Shui Qiannan looked up at the sky and felt that something was wrong. The sky outside was dark purple, and the moon was glowing red. Shui Qiannan calculated the date. It was not fifteen today, so how could the moon be so round?
Of course, Shui Qiannan wasn't the only one who discovered the abnormality of the sky today. Warlocks from all over the continent observed the sky at night and discovered the displacement of the Dark and Purple Star. All of them believed that the moon was the leader of the nine stars.
However, the four Palace Lords knew that this was no trivial matter. They could all sense that there was something out of the ordinary going on.
”Hall Master, the red bird in the Ice Spirit Room has disappeared.” The white-clothed man hurriedly rushed to the great hall to make his report.
”How did you defend him?” That red bird was Shui Qiannan's spirit beast. If she were to return to the Sacred Heavenly Palace one day and discover that the red bird had disappeared, she would definitely be furious.
”Please forgive me, Hall Master. There was a sudden movement in the sky today. The red bird let out a wail and disappeared, leaving behind only the Soul Suppressing Orb.” The man in white explained.
The guards of their Sacred Heavenly Palace all knew that only half of the red bird's soul remained. He was wondering if the remaining half of the red bird's soul had also dissipated from the red bird's body due to the abnormal actions of the Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant.
”Disappeared into thin air?” Gong Ze furrowed his brows. How could the red bird disappear into thin air? Even if the red bird's soul remained, with the Soul Suppressing Orb inside the red bird's body, it would still be able to survive. Could it be that this strange movement had rendered the Soul Suppressing Orb useless?
