Chapter 1229: City in the Sky!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

From the ancient Taiji Diagram that was Shi Tianhao, an air of desolateness leaked out. In the Void, many projections and images of Demons bobbed up and down, led by the Four Immemorial Evil Beasts – Hundun, Tao Wu, Taotie, and Qiong Qi.

From them, an ancient, barren air leaked. Primordial and desolate, and devoid of any scent of life, it was like the universe at the most ancient time, when Chaos has not yet been opened.

Although the Demon projections were floating, roaring, stampeding inside, but if one examines the utmost core within, it was just a lifeless batch of barrenness.

When Shi Tianhao returned to his human form and his Immortal Soul returned to the body, his boundless, roaring Qi and blood showed a plentiful life force and an air of vigor.

As Shi Tianhao meditated on his own mantras, he was studying the energy bodies of the Twelve Divine Generals above his head as well.

Actually, since he conquered that illusory area and obtained the remains of the City in the Sky, he has been studying its principles and Concept closely.

Although it was in disrepair, causing its power to be greatly reduced, but the power concept within was still enough for Shi Tianhao to give it a long, hard look. After he regrouped with Zhu Yi, the two studied it together; even Zhu Yi has nothing but praise and admiration for it.

In this process, Shi Tianhao discovered that not only was it him who was studying the power concept of the City in the Sky remains; as he continued to nourish it, it was as if the City in the Sky was gradually recovering.

Since its destruction in the Antiquity Age to today, in these long years, the remains of the City in the Sky and the Twelve Divine Generals floated within the Void. Apart from forming the illusory area, it was also attracting spiritual energy slowly to recover and repair itself.

This process was slow, but it has never stopped.

Occasionally, it will return to the Greater World and transform into an illusory area as well. After staying for a while, it will leave the Greater World once more and conceal itself within the Void.

In these long years, the City in the Sky gradually recovered. Now, with Shi Tianhao’s efforts, it has awakened from its self-repair hibernation.

Although it was still quite a bit away from its peak, and much of the damage was beyond what self-repair could do, but right now, the power of the City of the Sky already commanded serious attention.

However, if he want to control its power freely and command the City in the Sky to make its appearance in the world once more, Shi Tianhao still needed to study its principles closely.

In this process of meditating on the principles and Concept, Shi Tianhao was also corroborating his life’s studies, with the Heavenly Classic of the Way’s Virtues as the base.

In a mere instant, he switched repeatedly between the Immortal Soul and the physical body. Meanwhile, the pressure bore by him and Xiling City together was incredibly violent and furious.

Whether it was Xiling City or Shi Tianhao, at this moment, they were like a small boat slapped around by the stormy, choppy seas. It was as if the next massive wave would immediately send them to the bottom of the sea.

Gazing at Xiling City before him, Shi Tianhao abruptly raised his head towards the skies and let out a long howl.

Transforming into human form, his Immortal Soul fused with his physical body. The vibrant power of his Qi and blood grew even more vigorous; the pores of his body vibrated, shining like stars in the Cosmos – to the point of annihilation, producing terrifying explosive force.

However, with Shi Tianhao’s mental command, that vigorous and plentiful life force – like the power concept of the creation of the Universe and the reproduction of life – suddenly returned to inactivity.

As its replacement, Shi Tianhao activated the “Barren” of his Xuanhuang Four-Word Mantra. A power concept, of desolateness, chaos, and ignorance, emerged.

An air of desolateness covered Shi Tianhao’s physical body, seemingly transforming it into the barren Cosmos before the separation of the Heavens and the Earth. In the ancient state, everything was chaos. There were no knowledge, no shape, no form, no substance.

However, at the center of this barren, primordial chaos, there seemed to be an extremely powerful entity. It appeared to be located within an egg and was continually nurtured; when it matures, it will break the shell and emerge, and create All.

The next instant, Shi Tianhao’s form changed suddenly as he expanded his Immortal Soul Avatar, the Primal Taiji Diagram, and stowed his physical body.

From the Primal Taiji Diagram, a primordial air wafted, like the ancient Cosmos.

However, quickly, the power concept of the Primal Taiji Diagram started to change. The air of desolateness gradually dissipated, and from within, a vigorous, powerful life force emerged. It was as if the barren universe was transformed into a universe of Life within an instant; life grew, reproduced, and prospered.

At this moment, the many Demon projections floating on the Taiji Diagram seemed to suddenly possess vitality as well. They became more active, and also more savage and aggressive.

However, in this world of Life, there seemed to remain a patch of desolateness and chaos. It was hard for observers to notice it, but it resembled the singularity, the beginning and origin of Everything.

“I transformed my own Immortal Soul to Yingyuan and my own physical body to Huangshen. With the metaplasia and dichotomy of Yingyuan and Huangshen, the balance is achieved. Bonded and united, but also in opposition and dichotomy!”

Shi Tianhao abruptly let out a long howl. As his body flashed in the Void, his physical body and the Taiji Diagram formed by his Immortal Soul appeared at the same time, facing each other and slowly fusing again.

The black and white Taiji Diagram constantly rotated within the Void, demonstrating the Truth of two dichotomous, but also linked Concepts.

Merging and linking the knowledge, Shi Tianhao felt his understanding of the mantra and the Concept reach a new level.

The energy bodies of the Twelve Divine Generals, which have always been hard to freely control, were finally completely open to him at this moment, and the link was constantly growing stronger.

“Xian Xu Yi Shuo Chen Yi Jun Tian Zhu Luan Jie Fu!” As Shi Tianhao let out another howl, the twelve giant figures of light became even clearer, resembling actual beings of flesh and blood.

The twelve giants were all clad in armor, holding a halberd and standing proud. Their faces, which used to be chaotic and blur, suddenly blazed with light.

Like one in slumber, who opened his eyes and swept the world with his gaze.

Although they were severely damaged previously, at this instant, they still showed immense power.

The Lu Yuan Grand Sage, hiding outside the storm, felt his eyes widen involuntarily upon seeing this scene. “Is it an accidental success, or can he indeed control this power freely?”

Although he can gradually feel that right now, Shi Tianhao’s strength was already above him and he was no longer the same man that he first met at the Barren Expanses, however, at this instant, the Lu Yuan Grand Sage still felt shock and awe.

Indistinctly, he could feel, seemingly, that a mysterious transformation has happened to Shi Tianhao. Controlling the Twelve Divine Generals energy bodies now was not an occasional stroke of luck, but rather, the harmony and control born from an absolute understanding.

The Lu Yuan Grand Sage suddenly recalled that, when Shi Tianhao has just obtained the City in the Sky remains and reported the event to Lin Feng, Lin Feng just issued a simple reply that he should study it closely himself. The actual meaning – the things will be Shi Tianhao’s individual property, and Lin Feng will not actively meddle.

For other powers, something so strong and important as the City in the Sky, even if it was just the remains, would be an absolute treasure of absolute importance.

Although Shi Tianhao’s powers were shocking and way exceeded typical Immortal Soul cultivators, but after all, his cultivation level was still low and his cultivation time short. To let him keep the City in the Sky remains and use it as he wished...for any other power, even the Great Void Sect, this would be unimaginable.

However, whether it was Lin Feng or Shi Tianhao, neither of them seemed to care much about it.

To the extent of the Lu Yuan Grand Sage’s knowledge, this was not an isolated incident. Many years ago, when another of Lin Feng’s disciples, Zhu Yi, obtained the Destiny-realm magic treasure embryo of the Yingzhou Celestial Mountain, Lin Feng did not keep it as Sect property either. Similarly, it was Zhu Yi’s to use as he saw fit, shocking the entire Grand Celestial World.

However, later, in the Anti-Celestial Sect War, Zhu Yi used the opportunity of him advancing to Immortal Soul to forge the Higan Golden Bridge. Since then, he has had little to fear in the world; in the battle with the Dragon Tribe not too long ago, he shined bright, and his name rang loud across the Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses.

Today, the same thing happened to another of Lin Feng’s disciples, Shi Tianhao, seemingly foreshadowing the rise of yet another legend. This, caused the Lu Yuan Grand Sage to gasp and sigh mentally.

Both for Lin Feng’s generosity and manner, and the exceptional talent of Zhu Yi and Shi Tianhao. The Celestial Sect of Wonders, becoming stronger and stronger, was starting to shine brighter and brighter.

The sudden turn of events at Shi Tianhao’s side caused the pressure to relax slightly for the new Great Qin Emperor, Shi Zongtang, in Xiling City, allowing him to divert Awareness to observe the happenings at Shi Tianhao’s side. Then, he discovered, in astonishment, that the energy bodies of the Twelve Divine Generals above Shi Tianhao’s head have been stabilized.

Shi Tianhao’s yell resounded through space. “Decree!”

As he yelled, the twelve giant figures trembled together, and simultaneously, let out a silent yell towards the Void above them. Silent, but the Heavens were shook.

Under Shi Tianhao’s command, large amounts of runes and formation patterns appeared around the twelve giant figures, forming a massive formation. Although the formation appeared incomplete, it still betrayed an immense air of strength.

Enveloped by the formation, the Void gradually became an emerald green. The emerald hue covered the obscured the energy bodies of the Twelve Divine Generals together.

Streaks of bright radiance flashed in the boundless emerald light, swirling and flowing. The next instant, the emerald clouds quaked thunderously!

The clouds gradually dissipated, and a massive shadow rose up from among them.

It was a majestic city, that did not look to be as large as Xiling City in area, but even more shocking and awe-inspiring!

Looking closely, the city walls were in disrepair, and only rubble remained. Large chunks of the walls have collapsed, and even two of the corners of the City were shattered completely, and only the ruins were left. However, guarded by the emerald clouds, this city still resembled a Celestial city of the Heavens, infinitely superior to the cities of the mortal world.

Within the City, there were images of thousands of living beings. They appeared illusory, but were actually a different power will that lasted an infinite time and continued to be present in this Celestial city.

None other than the City in the Sky!

Shi Tianhao and the City in the Sky grouped as they continued to progress, gradually coming to the space above Xiling City. At this moment, the powers of the two great cities produced a vague resonance, resisting the violent backblast transmitted along the Veins together.

The pressure was still immense. Although the City in the Sky was strong, after all, it has been heavily damaged and its fundamental was harmed. Despite allying with Xiling City now, the two cities were still trembling violently; although it was not as desperate as previously, but the situation was still not looking optimistic.

However, in this process, the power of Xiling City and the City in the Sky slowly merged. They supplemented each other, but also gave rise to new changes.
