Chapter 303 Solar Eclipse
Before Mu Xi could finish speaking, Princess Yan Ya raised her hand to stop her, her expression solemn: "I am here today as a shaman. Shamans are those who serve the gods and have nothing to do with the mortal world. According to our calculations, the 'corresponding sign' of the 'Six Harmonies Star Phenomenon' from several years ago will appear today in the eastern suburbs of Moyang City. This is a 'divine revelation' that cannot be missed. We are here today to receive this 'divine revelation'."
Mu Xi started to understand only half of what she was saying.
After finishing their conversation, Xianjin and Princess Yanya continued walking towards Qifeng Terrace without lingering for a moment.
“This place is dangerous. No matter what kind of ‘divine revelation’ you two want to receive, you should first…” Mu Xi wanted to say something more, but it was too late. Although she felt a little uncomfortable about Princess Yan Ya’s coldness just now, she also knew that even if she showed concern, it would not make any difference.
Mu Heng confronted the two women on the other side of Qifeng Terrace. He initially disdained their actions, but when he got closer, he wanted to stop them. However, he didn't know what someone from the Red Carp Guard behind them said, so he ultimately didn't make a move and watched helplessly as the two women led the sorcerer onto the altar.
As for Tu Feng of the Han Hai Army, seeing that it was just two shamans leading dozens of wizards, they did not pose any threat and did not stop him.
Just as the three forces watched the two women's backs as they ascended to Qifeng Terrace, a sudden gust of wind swept across the sky, and the blazing sun in the sky underwent a drastic change.
Instantly, birds flew in panic, circling and emitting mournful cries; beasts stirred restlessly in the forest; banners fluttered on the ground; sand and stones stung people's faces; horses neighed and spurred wildly, trying to run away in all directions.
"The heavenly dog is eating the sun!" someone cried out in alarm.
"Heavenly Tribulation, Heavenly Tribulation..."
"The gods are angry! The seven gods are angry..."
...
The once glorious sun in the sky now had an eerie blood-red halo around its edge. At some point, a dark shadow began to appear from the edge of that halo. The shadow spread extremely quickly, and within just a few breaths, a corner of the magnificent sun was missing, and the missing piece continued to grow.
On and off the stage, tens of thousands of people looked up at the sky, their cries of alarm and fear spreading rapidly through the three armies like a plague.
The tense and menacing atmosphere that had just been filled with hostility was instantly replaced by fear of the solar eclipse.
On the altar of Qifeng Terrace, Xian Jin, with an extremely solemn and dignified expression, slowly put on the golden mask with red patterns of a great shaman. Then, his right hand quickly formed intricate hand seals, his left hand waved his staff, and he chanted incantations: "Mars guards the heart, the daytime star appears in the world, yin and yang reverse, heaven and earth are upside down..."
Princess Yan Ya, standing to the side, had a faint red flame burning between her brows. Her clear, cold eyes gleamed with an unusually bright light. She smiled at the sky and murmured to herself, "The world is turned upside down. This is the prophecy from back then... Did you see it? Did you hear it? Yan Sheng is about to truly change the world..."
Mu Xi also looked up at the sky, her heart trembling violently.
At this time, a solar eclipse appeared without warning, accompanied by strong winds and flying sand and stones, which was extremely strange.
But should we launch an attack to save Mu Xun while everyone is blind?
As soon as Mu Xi had this thought, she felt an unprecedented, intense throbbing in her heart.
Suddenly, an unprecedented, vast, and ethereal power poured down from above, flowing from his head into his limbs and bones. Then everything went black, and he fell off his horse.
"What's going on?" When Mu Xi asked this question again, her consciousness was already in the inner void.
The two figures before her, the three-year-old Xuan Nu personality and the white-robed fairy personality, were spinning rapidly, seemingly unable to answer her questions.
The next second, Mu Xi opened her eyes again, but her body was still out of control. Several guards, including Bai Su and Dai Xin, who rushed over to help her, were pushed away by her body.
The third "divine intervention"?
The sunlight in the sky was nearly half blocked by the shadows, and the light between heaven and earth was completely dimmed. The hundreds of thousands of troops, regardless of which side they were on, were terrified and unable to move.
At this moment, on the altar, Xian Jin, already positioned according to the directions, began his "Oath to Heaven" amidst the fluttering banners: "The glorious heavens, the dark abyss; the celestial rafts break their orbits, the stars and constellations are arrayed; the sun and moon are eclipsed, yin and yang are reversed; Mars guards the heart, a warning sign. The seven gods above, with our insignificant bodies, inquire of the vast and mysterious heavens. May the gods alight, revealing auspiciousness and good fortune; may this heavenly revelation shine upon the eight directions; may it penetrate the profound and dispel the obscurities, clearing away all confusion..."
Princess Yan Ya had already sat cross-legged in a corner of the altar to protect Xian Jin.
As Xian Jin chanted incantations that echoed above the heads of the three armies, Mu Xi's body began to move involuntarily.
Her body slowly raised her arms, her wide sleeves cascading down like flowing clouds. Her posture was graceful, and every subtle movement carried an inhuman rhythm and elegance, as if it were an ancient sacrificial dance. As she danced, she was lifted by the wind and "floated" towards the altar.
"Your Majesty..." Bai Su and the others were shocked and immediately followed the guards.
But the strong wind was like an aid to Mu Xi's body, while it became an obstacle to the person behind her.
Despite all the difficulties, Bai Su and his companions could not catch up.
Mu Xi's once clear and sharp eyes, shimmering like autumn water, were now deep and profound, as if containing the entire starry sky, penetrating to the ends of the earth, both compassionate and majestic. A clear, ethereal voice flowed from her lips at the same time: "The new moon and the moon alternate, the stars shine brightly; the sun hides its shadow, the moon rabbit loses its light. The old covenant is over, destiny is fickle. Blood soaks the wasteland, souls weep across the eight directions. Scatter your vengeful spirits, comfort your departed souls. The earth carries great virtue, not only gentleness and submission..."
The clear and melodious heavenly sounds penetrated the wind and noise, penetrating deep into everyone's eardrums and reaching their souls.
Mu Heng's face turned ashen. He tried to shout at the "playing tricks" and order his men to fire arrows, but he found that his throat was being choked by an invisible hand, and he could not utter a single powerful sound.
His soldiers were so terrified that they retreated repeatedly, none daring to move.
Unaware of her surroundings, Mu Xi finished her chant and stepped onto the top of Qifeng Terrace.
At this moment, the blazing sun overhead was completely covered by a dark shadow. The total solar eclipse was in the sky, the world was completely dark, and the wind howled and raged.
The thirty-six high priests holding the array flags around the altar had to prostrate themselves on the ground and hold on tightly to the flags to avoid being blown over by the gale.
Upon seeing this, Xianjin and Princess Yanya immediately stepped aside, sat down, closed their eyes, and muttered incantations rapidly.
Mu Xi's body moved involuntarily, her toes lightly touching the air as she treaded on an invisible string. With a wave of her long arm, her wide sleeves billowed like clouds, and the air currents she created seemed to soothe the raging wind around her, turning it into gentle ripples that flowed around her.
Immediately afterwards, the body began to spin with a rhythm that mortals could hardly attain. The wind howled as it spun, creating a magnificent atmosphere like the movement of stars, as if the energy of heaven and earth were outlining the celestial orbits, or as if it were drawing an invisible spiritual connection between heaven and earth.
Mu Xi's consciousness sank into absolute silence, cool, quiet, peaceful, and utterly still...
