Ch 419: The Grand Fate Gathering Formation
The Ascension passage disappeared, and dawn reappeared on the horizon.
But the next moment, the sky suddenly turned extremely gloomy, casting the entire Heaven and Earth in a gray haze.
The Dragon Court, which had been somewhat warm, now had an abnormally cold temperature around it.
Countless snowflakes fell from the sky, seemingly boundless and endless.
In less than a minute, the snowflakes had piled up into a thick layer on the ground.
Countless commoners who had barely escaped the earthquake, upon seeing this scene, became even more desperate, their sadness overwhelming them. One by one, they collapsed to the ground, wailing.
Even the usually courageous and resolute Beiqi Army, under the influence of the common people’s emotions, silently shed tears.
They had just experienced a terrifying earthquake, and they understood that this snowfall was not a good omen, but rather meant that natural disasters might continue to rage.
“Our Divine Palace Kingdom’s centuries of accumulated National Fortune is gone.”
“And the culprit has ascended.”
“…”
Luo Jinyi and others looked at all this in a daze, feeling as if a mountain weighing ten thousand catties was pressing down on their hearts, making it hard to breathe.
Li Hanzhou’s mood was also very heavy.
Seeing this scene, he thought of Blue Star, where countries that had been prosperous for many years would experience various natural disasters as they neared annihilation.
How long had it been since the Dragon Court, which should have been sunny and pleasant, was covered in ice and snow? Presumably, other places were the same.
No one knew how long this terrifying ice and snowstorm would last.
If it continued, it wouldn’t take long before their entire Divine Palace Kingdom would face a great ice age.
At that time, all that would be visible would be thick ice, animals would perish, vegetation would disappear, and the people would suffer greatly.
As the snowflakes fell.
The surrounding temperature was rapidly dropping at a visible speed, and countless people were already covered in a thick layer of snow.
Ninety percent of the Divine Palace Kingdom’s common people were ordinary people. If they were left to freeze like this, they might not even realize it before becoming numb and freezing to death.
So the Divine Palace Kingdom officials and the Beiqi Army quickly sprang into action.
They immediately found countless quilts and cotton-padded clothes to distribute to the common people, and at the same time, they set up large pots everywhere, brewing pot after pot of fresh hot porridge for the people to warm themselves.
Tap, tap, tap. A series of footsteps appeared in everyone’s ears.
The Master and the Eastern Imperial Palace’s Mistress came towards them side by side, their gazes filled with sighs as they looked at everything around them.
Luo Jinyi and the others came to their senses and bowed to the Master and the Eastern Imperial Palace’s Mistress: “Thank you, two Seniors.”
Although they didn’t know why the Master and the Eastern Imperial Palace’s Mistress had sealed the Ascension passage, they knew that the other party must have their own plans, and everything they did should benefit their Divine Palace Kingdom. Otherwise, they could have simply remained silent and watched coldly.
The Master sighed softly: “No need for such formalities.”
“We were too late, your Divine Palace Kingdom’s National Fortune is gone forever.”
The Eastern Imperial Palace’s Mistress said regretfully.
“May I ask both Seniors, now that our Divine Palace Kingdom’s National Fortune is lost, is there a way to solve this?”
Li Hanzhou calmed himself and then asked.
He had been to Tianxuan Academy, where the skills taught were miscellaneous but extraordinarily practical. As a Master who had lived in Tianxuan Academy for an unknown number of years, the Master might know how to solve this dangerous situation.
Seeing this, Luo Jinyi and the others immediately held their breath and looked at the Master and the Eastern Imperial Palace’s Mistress together.
With the disappearance of the National Fortune, they didn’t know how to cope.
National Fortune is very profound and mysterious, closely related to the living conditions of the common people.
If a country is wealthy and its people are strong, the National Fortune will be greater. Conversely, if a country is weak and its people resentful, the National Fortune will become very weak, or even non-existent.
Now the common people are in a miserable state, clearly having fallen into despair about their future. To regain their spirit, it would take countless years.
They were afraid that before they could regain their National Fortune, the vast Earthly Realm of their Divine Palace Kingdom would be buried under the snow and become a thing of the past.
However, with the Master and the Eastern Imperial Palace’s Mistress here, they didn’t have to act like headless flies; perhaps the other party would know how to deal with it.
Perhaps these two were the lifelines of their Divine Palace Kingdom.
The Eastern Imperial Palace’s Mistress replied simply and decisively: “I don’t know either.”
The Master, however, holding a scroll, fell into deep thought. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, “There is a formation; if it is set up, it should be able to save your Divine Palace Kingdom.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was excited.
“May I ask what this formation is called, and how should it be set up?”
“Please tell us, Master! We absolutely cannot watch the Divine Palace Kingdom disappear like this!”
“…”
Seeing everyone so excited, the Master didn’t rush to speak. After everyone’s emotions calmed down, he continued, “This formation is called the Gathering Fortune Great Formation. It’s quite simple to set up, but it requires two extremely special things as the Formation Eye.”
“One is the Earth Vein, and the other is the Yin-Yang Fish.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
Although they didn’t know what an Earth Vein was, they had long heard of the Yin-Yang Fish.
This is an Innate Spirit Treasure that can reverse Yin and Yang, something known to almost every cultivator.
But knowing is one thing; they had only heard of it in ancient books recorded in their respective Sects. They had never even seen the Yin-Yang Fish, let alone how to find it.
This was simply wishful thinking.
“May I ask, Senior, what is an Earth Vein?”
Li Hanzhou asked again.
He remembered that his original body had a Yin-Yang Fish. Currently, his original body should be in the Demon Race’s Tribal Land in the Western Ting. As long as he retrieved his original body, the problem of needing the Yin-Yang Fish for the Gathering Fortune Great Formation could be easily solved.
“The so-called Earth Vein is something condensed from the essence of Heaven and Earth. Earth Veins are usually attached to mountain ranges, with various shapes, strange and wonderful. But the function of an Earth Vein is to stabilize the terrain and prevent natural disasters like earthquakes.”
“Your Divine Palace Kingdom originally had two Earth Veins. However, with the dissipation of the National Fortune, the Earth Veins also ceased to exist, which caused the ground to shake.”
“If you want to find an Earth Vein, it won’t work in the Divine Palace Kingdom. You can only seek help from other countries and see if they are willing to share an Earth Vein with you. For them, sharing an Earth Vein wouldn’t affect them much.”
