11 Night Turns to Day, A Startling Phenomena (1/2)
It was quiet tonight in Machen Town, and the festive atmosphere wasn't in its usual full bloom. Most of the residents and travelers were busy preparing for the upcoming Sky Splitting School's talent selection.
However, there was still an average amount of public activity due to some shops being open. Inside a famous pub, quite a few individuals crowded around enjoying a wild atmosphere. Beautiful women dressed in revealing clothing were flaunting about entertaining the lonely guest bringing a sense of warmth on this chilly night.
In a quiet and remote corner, a stranger was seated around an empty table observing the crowd while drinking a small cup of wine. He was dressed in strange clothing that appeared to have been made from the hide of unknown creatures, Streams of light were flowing in a peculiar and unique style with unusual patterns arranged across his garments. Smiling, he looked out the window; with his gaze wandering off into the starry night sky.
”So, a small place like this can have such an atmosphere. Hmm, the stars seem a bit strange tonight.” Lost in thought, the stranger found that something was peculiar. He quickly vanished from his previous position appearing in the distant sky. He stood in the air as one would on flat ground, floating as if it was some kind of a fundamental instinct.
If there were anyone currently capable of seeing this far into the sky, they would have indeed been shocked. As this was an inherent ability, available to only those who have crossed the 'threshold,' shedding the mundane.
The night sky was getting brighter and brighter eventually becoming eclipsed with a bright golden scarlet hue.
”How can this be? Who in this world could inspire a 'Heavenly Recognition' at this standard!!! Could it be related to that?” The man was filled with shock; he waved his right hand in the air creating a sequence of elaborate runes. Following which, a stream of many intricate pieces of information flowed back and forth in his eyes as if trying to deduce the laws of the world.
Puff! He spat a mouthful of blood, and his countenance instantly became pale.
”Incredible! It is capable of even interfering with my deductions. My Lang Shang has never failed a deduction from the day I confirmed my 'Dao' through Laws Governing the Heavens and the Earth. Interesting, HAHAHA! The world will see a new era once again.” The strange man began to laugh as he stared at the heavens feeling shock and excitement in his heart.
Pheww! After a loud and piercing sound that resounded throughout the heaven itself, the sky quickly became filled with scorching flames that eclipsed the entirety of the night. In an instant, the night turned into what seemed like the day, as a blazing light shone brightly across the world covering a quarter of the entire True Yuan Outer Continent. Shocked by the sudden occurrence, all the citizens within their respected empires began to worry.
”What! What's going on?”
”How could it be daytime already?”
”No that's not daylight, look into the sky quickly!”
”Oh my god! The sky is burning!”
As the citizens of the empire were beginning to lose their wits, the more experienced cultivators were on the verge of losing their minds.
An old man seated on top of a mountain carefully investigated the sky. His eyes were filled with a glint of wisdom. After observing the phenomena for a while, he soon became filled with astonishment.
”Such a powerful Heavenly Recognition! What kind of bloodline is this? Who is awakening?” said the old man.
Various sect masters and supreme elders were all pondering on the same question. Emperors and Empresses were all curious and began to search for the source of the phenomena. However, all their efforts were pointless as the scale of the phenomena was too large, and it was challenging to find where it originated from.
