Chapter 111 A Sage Appears, Heaven and Earth Rejoice
Immediately afterward, before the celestial music had faded, a fine, fragrant mist drifted down from the sky. The mist, with its unique aroma, filled the air, purifying everything it touched.
The fragrant mist settled on the ground, filling the air with its aroma. The parched grass and trees were moistened, and the withered leaves regained their green color. Many disciples of the Yao Guang Sect were enveloped in the fragrant mist, yet their clothes remained completely dry. Upon touching their skin, they felt a sense of clarity and understanding, and many of their doubts about cultivation were suddenly resolved.
This is the second extraordinary phenomenon: heavenly rain of fragrant dew.
Immediately afterwards, a billowing purple aura suddenly surged from the eastern horizon. The purple aura stretched for thirty thousand miles, covering the sky and dyeing the entire sky a magnificent purple-gold color.
The clouds were misty and purple light swirled, as if immortals were descending.
This is the third extraordinary phenomenon: purple aura coming from the east.
Before the purple aura had completely dissipated, the midday sky, which had been bright with sunshine, suddenly darkened. Round and round stars appeared, densely packed, twinkling like the dead of night, scattering billions of starlight that reflected off the earth below.
This is the fourth extraordinary phenomenon: the appearance of stars in broad daylight.
As the stars shone brightly, a bright new moon quietly appeared beside the sun high in the sky.
The sun and moon hang together in the sky, one blazing and the other serene, their light intertwining yet not interfering with each other, as if the yin and yang of heaven and earth have achieved a perfect balance at this moment.
This is the fifth extraordinary phenomenon: the sun and moon in the same sky.
However, the strange phenomena did not cease—
Chaos surged in the void, and golden lotuses of the Great Dao bloomed from nothingness, each with twelve petals, and each petal was engraved with natural Dao patterns.
Nine illusory dragons coiled in the heavens, their roars shaking the world:
Ancient phantoms of gods and demons appeared in the clouds, seemingly in worship;
Flowers rained down from the sky, golden lotuses sprouted from the earth, and countless phantom images of auspicious beasts galloped between heaven and earth.
But this is not the end.
The last illusory figure rose from Luo Heng's body, instantly expanding to an unbelievable size—
Ten thousand feet, a million feet, a hundred million feet! In just a few breaths, the figure sitting cross-legged in the sky had become so large that it took one's breath away!
He sat cross-legged beneath the heavens, his towering figure seemingly able to embrace the entire Big Dipper. The mountains of the Eastern Wilderness were but a speck of dust beneath his knees, the vast land of the Central Plains was like a faint line in his palm, and the endless snowfields of the Northern Plains couldn't even cover a corner of his robe.
Most of the creatures on the Big Dipper could clearly see this figure's handsome face, calm expression, cascading black hair, and deep eyes that seemed to see through the ancient starry river, all by simply looking up. Everything was as clear as if it were right next to him!
Divine light flowed around him, with the sun, moon, and stars surrounding him. Nine kinds of celestial phenomena bloomed behind him, like stars surrounding the moon.
He sat cross-legged atop the vast sky, gazing down at the enormous ancient star of life below, as if examining his own territory, or perhaps responding to the reward bestowed upon him by heaven and earth.
This is precisely the ninth extraordinary phenomenon: the law of heaven and earth!
In an instant, nine different celestial phenomena simultaneously descended upon the Big Dipper!
This breathtaking scene plunged the entire Big Dipper into an eerie silence.
The sacred lands of the Eastern Wilderness, the imperial dynasties of the Central Plains, the demon races of the Southern Ridge, the ancient temples of the Western Desert, the aristocratic families of the Northern Plains—countless cultivators looked up at the sky, forgetting words, forgetting to breathe, and even forgetting to think.
Everyone was caught up in the same question at the same moment:
What exactly happened?
Luo Heng, standing at the center of the strange phenomenon, felt the indescribable, immense fluctuations in the world, and a thought suddenly struck him.
He slowly rose to his feet. The enormous Dharma image also slowly rose to its feet.
The figure of the Heavenly Emperor, who had been seated between heaven and earth, stood up with his movement, as if a god who had slumbered for eternity had finally awakened. He carried the nine heavens on his shoulders, stood firmly on the earth, and the sun, moon, and stars revolved behind him.
A mysterious smile suddenly appeared on Luo Heng's lips.
Then, he raised one hand to the sky and pointed the other to the ground, striking a pose of towering and upright.
Then, he silently mouthed those eight words: "Above and below heaven, I alone am supreme."
Countless cultivators were stunned by what they saw, and some even forgot to think.
The disciples of the Holy Land looked up at the sky, their mouths agape but no sound came out.
Some of the independent cultivators slumped to the ground, their eyes filled with confusion;
Even those high-ranking holy lords stared at that figure, speechless for a long time.
Only a few elderly people, who could be considered living fossils, seemed to have thought of something and were racking their brains.
Meanwhile, the leaders of those great sects and the heads of ancient families couldn't wait any longer and began to use their secret techniques to calculate and deduce.
However, this deduction was unusually simple, and Heaven and Earth quickly provided the answer: "When a sage appears, Heaven and Earth will celebrate."
A new top-tier physique has been born between heaven and earth—this is heaven and earth celebrating the birth of a new top-tier special physique.
At this moment, the living fossils finally came to their senses, slapping their thighs and exclaiming, "This is a celestial phenomenon—a new top-tier physique has been born! How is this possible—"
"Strange phenomena in the heavens and earth are actually rewards bestowed by the heavens upon those beings who have made great contributions to the world."
Legend has it that the extraordinary phenomena observed in the human body of a cultivator are the result of the microcosm within the human body mirroring the macrocosm of heaven and earth.
"Such extraordinary celestial phenomena are said to have only appeared in the mythical era. Since then, it has become increasingly rare to see such sights in this world."
"Today, in this post-primordial era where cultivation is so difficult, a new top-tier physique has been born? Is this truly the dawn of a golden age?"
Some living fossils couldn't help but mutter to themselves.
The exclamations and praises of those living fossils are destined to be nothing more than footnotes to this extraordinary phenomenon.
The real turmoil is brewing in the hearts of the entire younger generation of Beidou.
In the Eastern Wilderness, there lived the Ji family.
On the tranquil side of the Moonlit Pool, Ji Haoyue stood with his hands behind his back, gazing up at the towering figure on the horizon.
Even though they were hundreds of thousands of miles apart, that towering figure was still clearly visible. He stood between heaven and earth, one hand raised to the sky and the other pointing to the earth, as if proclaiming something.
Nine-colored divine light flowed around him, with the sun, moon, and stars surrounding him, and eight extraordinary phenomena blooming behind him like stars surrounding the moon.
Ji Haoyue's pupils contracted slightly.
An elder had already explained that this was the heavens and earth celebrating the birth of a new physique. But when he actually witnessed that figure that seemed to fill the universe, his heart was still filled with turbulent waves.
"A new top-tier physique—" he murmured to himself, his eyes gleaming with an uncertain light.
Beside him, a shimmering blue lake reflected his handsome profile, as well as the vast blue sea behind him—a bright moon rising over the sea.
"What kind of constitution would it be?"
He murmured to himself. As a descendant of the Void Emperor, Ji Haoyue never underestimated himself. But at this moment, that figure stretching across the sky made him feel a sense of solemnity for the first time towards that stranger in the distance.
"Hey bro, what are you spacing out for?"
Ji Ziyue suddenly appeared, tilting her head to follow his gaze.
When she saw the enormous, breathtaking figure on the horizon, she paused for a moment, then chuckled, "Let me guess—it's because of this guy, right? The elders said it must be from the Yao Guang Holy Land. Amazing! In this post-ancient era, they've managed to cultivate a new top-tier physique that has alarmed the entire Big Dipper."
Ji Haoyue didn't turn around, and simply gave a faint "hmm".
Ji Ziyue's eyes darted around, and she leaned closer with a grin, saying, "Brother, are you scared? Afraid that someone is stronger than you and will steal the limelight from your 'Eastern Wilderness Divine Body'?"
Ji Haoyue raised an eyebrow and finally turned her head to glance at her quirky younger sister.
"Afraid?"
His tone was calm, yet carried a subtle hint of arrogance.
"Throughout my cultivation, Ji Haoyue has never feared anyone among my peers. Whether it's a divine body or a new physique, it all depends on how one controls it. No matter how strong the physique, if one doesn't become an emperor, one will ultimately be nothing more than an ant."
Ji Ziyue pouted: "Come on, bro. That's not just any ordinary special physique, it's the first generation! Living alongside someone like that for a lifetime, you're probably in for a rough time."
Ji Haoyue was too lazy to argue and turned her gaze back to the gradually dissipating Dharma image.
"I was just wondering, who is this person?"
Ji Ziyue blinked, then lowered her voice mysteriously and said, "If it's the Yao Guang Holy Land, it should be that newly appointed Holy Son, right? His name is—Luo Heng?"
"Luo Heng?"
Ji Haoyue frowned slightly, her tone tinged with doubt.
He had heard of that name before. The Holy Land of Yao Guang had recently changed its Holy Son, with an unknown newcomer taking over, which caused quite a stir among the various factions at the time.
However, the attention was overshadowed by the Devouring Demon Jar incident, so people didn't pay much attention to it.
"Luo Heng".
Ji Haoyue repeated the name again, this time with a certain certainty in her tone.
Although there was no evidence, he subconsciously felt that this was the person. That newly born top-tier physique must belong to him.
Ji Haoyue turned her gaze back to the direction where the strange phenomenon had dissipated, muttering to herself, "Luo Heng, I look forward to fighting you."
After saying that, he turned and left Moonlit Pool without looking back.
He's going to continue his spiritual practice.
At the same time, young talents from all over the country are also turning their attention to the sacred land of Yaoguang.
Wang Teng of Beiyuan, Tian Yao of Nanling, Bai Yi Nu Ni of Ximo, Jin Chi Xiao Peng Wang, Yan Ruyu — each of them stood with their hands behind their backs, their eyes gleaming, or a playful smile on their lips.
That figure standing between heaven and earth was too awe-inspiring. Whether they had heard of the name "Luo Heng" before or not, from this day forward, they would remember it.
The Holy Son of Yaoguang, Luo Heng.
