Chapter 8: Heavens Road (1/2)

Everyone fell to the multicolored altar, they crashed on the jade pieces, slabs and ancient books making the pile a mess.

The giant ancient bronze coffin was lying on the side, with a patina of rust, but still can’t hide the pictures blurred engraved on the bronze, ancient deities which brought tears to the eyes..

They were so close to it, reaching their hands they will be able to touch it. Everyones heart were filled with fear.

After endless years of existing, the multicolored altar used for worship, could it have possible that is was used to communicate?

At this moment, they suddenly felt a desolate and remote atmosphere, people looking stirred.

Now, the nine dragon corpses and copper coffin lying in front, were they really being led towards the altar?

Legend has it that, as early as the Qin and han dynasty, 75 monarchs held offerings here, what did they receive?

The alter showed its brilliance and shone, multicolored jade pieces were on display and the altar stone suddenly became crystal clear, transparent. The engraving on it flickered, the altar started to glow.

*Snap*

Breaking sounds could be heard, the pile of jade and stone slabs started cracking. The ancint encryption glowed and an empty void appeared.

*Rip*

More ancient words shone mid-air, then those jade pieces and slabs exploded, all the engravings seem to be freed.

Above the ancient bronze coffin, around the crater, thousands of ancient text formed shining as if made of molten iron.

*Snap* *Snap*

Breaking sounds again, near the altar more words appeared midair showing a bit of glint.

Around the giant bronze coffin, seemed to be filled with stars, shining with brilliance under the sunset, it was extremely mysterious.

The other people on Jade emperor desperately escaped downwards with fear but at the moment they saw Yefan, who crashed into the giant pit. With the strange sight, all fear seemed to dissipate.

One man kept falling and the cries of pain could be heard.

Meanwhile, the sky glowed with the unifying of ancient word, actually gradually formed a huge book of change, a mysterious force shook out.

This is a stunning scene, those characters had incredible power, condensed together manifested the giant book of changes. The text seemed to be submerged in metal with its texture, it resembled newly casted metal.

“I want to get out of here!” Someone shouted from the crater.

“Our bodies are unable to move..” Everyone was terrified, what can they do?

“That is…”

At this moment, on the book of changes, midair a yin and yang symbol appeared.

Even in this technological age, the book of changes has still not been solved. Someone once based on the relationship between stars and book of changes, using astronomical parameters calculated the orbit speed of celestial bodies. The founder of the modern computer binary, explored the concept of the book of changes, inspired, succeeded in one fell swoop.

The ancient book of changes for people today still remain a mystery, how it was created, what are the effects, created for what purpose? So far , there are only legends and inaccurate assumptions, but no solid evidence.

At the moment, Yefan is the same as any other person when it came to the book of changes, it was associated with space and time.

Around the great book of changes, the space and light, warped, distorted, Qian, Kun, Dui, Gen, Zhen, Li symbols appeared and shone light. It glinted with ancient mystery. (Qian, Kun, Dui, Gen, Zhen, Li are all part of the 8 trigrams. They respectively mean: Heaven, Earth, Wood/Wind, Swamp, Mountain, Thunder, Fire, Water) (TL: I honestly got a headache trying to translate this sentence.)

The diagram of the two Yin-Yang fish is like a pair of bizarre portal, constantly trembling, slowly open a gap whichseems to lead to the sky.

Brilliance continuously shone, the eight symbols(8 trigrams) of the book of changes, eventually transformed many times in a complex order, finally it sparkled with light.

*Bang*

A dull shock, the two Yin-Yang fish slowly opened, flickered from time to time, under a starry sky a road appeared.

Finally, Yin-Yang fish completely wide open, revealing a mysterious and huge channel which led to the unknown. Inside it was completely pitch black.

Meanwhile, the top of Mount Tai, the nine giant dragon corpse began to quiver, and this time the bronze coffin also issued a *Thud*, violently shaking.

Yefan, was close to the coffin, many people scared of shouted, many female students issued a cry.
