The qi destiny of the Mortal World suddenly shifted.
This was not the first time, nor perhaps would it be the last.
Many cultivators noticed the changes in the Mortal World, but they saw it as a perfectly ordinary occurrence. To them, it was nothing more than a transition of mortal rulers, commonplace and mundane.
But the moment the qi destiny of the Mortal World shifted, countless cultivators cast their gazes over.
Twelve grand Formations activated in the middle of the night, illuminating the entire world like twelve brilliant stars.
Wang Yingying gripped her Dharma Sword. Resting upon the Altar was the Grand Seal of the Human Sovereign, the Imperial Jade Seal. Soon, this very Imperial Seal would envelop all the qi destiny of the world, unifying it into one.
The Human Sovereign would be separated from it. He would no longer be the Human Sovereign of this world, merely the master of this Imperial Seal.
The Formations turned.
A veil seemed to rise between heaven and earth, blotting out the sky and covering the sun.
Lightning flashed and thunder suddenly resounded across the firmament.
Standing in the rear, Yan Nantian watched this scene. He saw the stars and celestial phenomena completely veiled, the roaring thunder isolated outside.
After a fleeting moment of worry, he felt slightly reassured.
"Just as Mister predicted, a celestial anomaly!"
"I am going to succeed. I am going to succeed..."
Yan Nantian suddenly let out a loud laugh. His laughter carried a touch of arrogance, perhaps venting the anxiety he had harbored for so long.
Wang Yingying stepped forward, chanting a sacrificial incantation.
The twelve Formations continued to turn.
Suddenly, this stretch of the Mortal World, its sky entirely concealed, began to emit a radiant light.
In an instant, it was as bright as day!
"What is that..."
"Is it dawn?"
Many people witnessed this sight that night.
The instantaneous inversion of day and night made many think they were sleep-addled, believing it was just a dream.
But after pinching themselves, they snapped out of their daze.
The qi destiny of the Mortal World surged along prearranged paths.
In Qingshan City.
Zhu Sheng, who was currently painting a Lantern, suddenly looked up.
He saw the celestial phenomena abruptly obscured as day and night inverted in a flash.
He froze. The writing brush slipped from his hand and fell to the ground. Standing up, he hurried into the courtyard.
Zhu Sheng's eyes widened. Looking again, he saw the human dao qi fortune between heaven and earth being drawn away. Its destination was the royal palace.
"What is going on?!"
Zhu Sheng was horrified. He could not understand who possessed the audacity to commit such an act against the natural order.
Mo Yuan, who was currently in the Tongtian River, also noticed the changes in the Mortal World at this moment.
He leaped out of the water and saw the brilliant daylight and the shifting anomaly of the qi destiny.
Mo Yuan's gaze turned toward Shangjing City, thousands of miles away.
He furrowed his brows. A moment later, he seemed to understand.
"This Human Sovereign certainly has some nerve."
Mo Yuan shook his head. But what use was courage? When the human dao qi fortune no longer resided within his body, the demons and Immortals of the world would no longer be bound by karma, and the Human Sovereign would be placed in immense peril.
Furthermore, to cause such a massive commotion this time...
Mo Yuan could easily predict what would follow: it likely wouldn't be long before news of the Human Sovereign's assassination within the palace spread across the entire world.
Likely finding it dull, Mo Yuan only watched for a short while before returning to the Dragon Palace to drink.
Daoist Sanyuan, rumored by the outside world to be in secluded meditation, sprinted out of his grand hall at this very moment.
"The qi destiny!!"
"Where is the human dao qi fortune going?!"
Daoist Sanyuan turned pale with fright. This paradigm, unchanged for millions of years, was suddenly shifting.
"Who is it!"
"Who obscured the heavenly secrets?! Who?!"
"Audacious!!"
Daoist Sanyuan could hardly conceal the rage in his heart.
But now, it was already far too late for anything.
Never in his wildest dreams did Daoist Sanyuan imagine that Yan Nantian harbored such an idea.
As the Quanshan Sect Master, though he wouldn't dare claim his Dao Cultivation was unfathomably profound, how could he not know of the method to gather the world's qi destiny?
However...
How was this a viable method in the slightest?!
Carrying the qi destiny meant carrying the karma. With the hundred officials and the Human Sovereign protected by the human dao qi fortune, the demons and ghosts of this world dared not act rashly, lest they suffer heavenly tribulation.
But from now on, that would no longer be the case!
Yan Nantian could hold the Imperial Seal and remain undisturbed by demons, but what about the officials of the Imperial Court? What about the common people? What would happen to them...
"Foolish!"
"Your Majesty, you are foolish!"
Daoist Sanyuan wailed in despair. He knew he was already powerless to reverse heaven.
He marveled even more at Yan Nantian's methods.
Such grand Formations had actually been set up silently, without a single soul noticing.
For a brief moment, Daoist Sanyuan felt a sense of daze.
Then he snapped back to his senses.
Those Formations...
Did truly no one notice them?
At this thought, Daoist Sanyuan instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
"Rise!"
At this moment, he unleashed every ounce of his years of Dao Cultivation.
His figure transformed into a streak of light as he rushed toward Shangjing City.
...
The world's qi destiny continuously gathered within the Imperial Seal.
Wang Yingying's face paled. She was struggling to bear the pressure emanating from the Formations.
She coughed up a mouthful of blood, but quickly composed herself.
"Phew..."
Wang Yingying looked up, chanting silently in her heart, 'Almost, almost...'
She just needed to hold on a little longer.
In the future, even if Wang Yingying could not leave her name in the annals of history, Qingxian Temple would definitely reclaim its Daoist orthodox lineage. When that time came, Qingxian Temple would return to its prosperous state, and everything would take a turn for the better.
Yan Nantian stared at this scene. Standing to the side, he was also somewhat nervous.
In a daze, he seemed to see it.
He saw the qi destiny, materialized as silken threads, gathering from all directions across the world into this Imperial Seal.
Thrilled beyond measure, he wanted to cup the Imperial Seal in the palms of his hands.
"Your Majesty, the qi destiny has not completely settled into the Imperial Seal yet. You must not touch the Imperial Seal for now."
Wang Yingying offered a reminder.
Yan Nantian took a deep breath. Snapping back to reality, he said, "There is no rush, no rush..."
Wang Yingying felt herself growing weaker and weaker.
Right now, she was merely struggling to hold on. How could a minor Daoist cultivator like her shake this grand worldly destiny? Were it not for the Formations dispersing the force, she would have fainted long ago.
As dawn approached, the sky gradually revealed a glimmer of light.
And at this moment, the qi destiny of heaven and earth entirely merged into the Imperial Seal.
"It's... done..."
At this final moment, Wang Yingying collapsed weakly before the Altar.
"Buzz!"
A blinding light burst from the Imperial Seal.
All the qi destiny of the Mortal World was contained within it. Grasping it meant grasping this entire world.
Yan Nantian's eyes went wide. He reached out to pick it up.
The next moment, however, a streak of red light shot forward.
Yan Nantian broke into a cold sweat and took a step back in shock.
He abruptly recovered his wits. Looking over, he saw a person gripping a Long Saber, standing right in front of the Imperial Seal.
"To think you could dodge my blade. The emperor of the Mortal World isn't quite so incompetent after all."
Yan Nantian glared with wide eyes and bellowed furiously, "Audacious!"
A faint smile tugged at the corners of the figure's mouth. In a flash, demonic energy billowed out from his body.
He reached out and snatched the Imperial Seal.
Yan Nantian froze for a second, then roared in anger, "That is my Imperial Seal!!"
