Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 557 - 267: The Old-Time Mingyue Was Round, Flying into the Homes of Ordinary People! (8000 words)_5
At last, it transformed into a large banner. On it, ancient characters formed the word "Nether," and it contained an indescribable aura.
"Go!" A faint smile appeared on Wang Xiu’s face as he waved the great banner, sweeping up the remnants of starlight. "I’ll take you home!"
...
With his movements, faint, ethereal whispers emerged from the vortex in the depths of the void, like a close relative whispering in one’s ear, exceptionally gentle.
All the Heroic Spirits froze. They slowly raised their heads, their gazes gradually shifting to Wang Xiu atop the God Summoning Platform. Their vacant eyes began to shimmer with light.
The next moment, all the Heroic Spirits burst into golden flames. One after another, their spiritual bodies soared into the sky, converging into the massive vortex. The vortex itself began to glow, becoming supremely dazzling until the area blazed like a fierce sun.
BOOM!
A burning meteor erupted from within the vortex, streaking across the sky and falling toward the distant Divine Province.
Then came the second.
The third.
The hundredth!
The ten thousandth!
...
The entire sky was set ablaze. Over a hundred thousand meteors streaked across the firmament at once, illuminating the entire East Sea. It was a magnificent sight, clearly visible from any corner of the Divine Province.
「Sanqing Immortal Sect.」
On Dragon Head Peak, Xiao Qingyu stepped out of the grand hall and suddenly paused, her gaze turning toward the eastern sky.
The night was deep, and an utter silence hung between the peaks.
A dazzling light suddenly erupted at the edge of the sky, growing fiercer and more brilliant until it illuminated the entire world.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
A meteor shower streaked by, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth fluctuated in an incomprehensible manner.
The monkeys in the mountains began to call out joyfully. Countless spiritual birds soared through the air in a magnificent spectacle, their clear and melodious chirps seeming to say, "An old friend returns, an old friend returns."
Xiao Qingyu’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she unconsciously covered her luscious red lips. "What on earth is happening over the East Sea to cause such a spectacular phenomenon?"
...
Below Dragon Head Peak lay the Nine Nether Prison.
A thousand years ago, this place had been the Infinite Hell that sent shivers down the spines of everyone on the Demonic Path. Countless Great Demons of ominous repute had been imprisoned here until their deaths.
After the great battle of that era, the Demon Race had come seeking revenge. The Sanqing Immortal Sect was shattered, losing numerous Cave Heavens and suffering countless casualties. To prevent the fiends within the Nine Nether Prison from escaping and bringing calamity to the world, twelve of the sect’s few remaining Earth Immortals voluntarily incinerated themselves to slay all the prisoners within.
They renounced Reincarnation, using their own immortal bones to preside over this place for a thousand years, suppressing the monstrous and Demonic Qi. Wang Xiu had once come here with Zhuo Canglang to pay his respects to those twelve skeletal remains.
This place never saw sunlight. Not a single beam of light ever pierced its gloom. Yet, for some unknown reason, streams of light like meteors suddenly poured down from the void, landing here.
BUZZ! BUZZ!
The Nine Nether Prison suddenly lit up with a faint luminescence. Like broken soul-fire or dust that had accumulated for a thousand years, motes of light began to rise from every corner. They converged, faintly forming hazy silhouettes that were so frail they looked as if a mere puff of wind could scatter them.
"We’re back..." a voice sounded from the darkness.
"Is it them? Have they returned?" another voice rose, ethereal and trembling with excitement.
"Yes, they’ve returned. All of them have returned..."
In the darkness, one light after another flickered on like lanterns, dotted about like stars. These points of light transformed into transparent spiritual bodies, weeping tears of joy.
"..."
...
「Vermilion Bird City.」
Within a certain residence, the rooms were brightly lit.
A richly dressed man paced back and forth anxiously outside a door, while from within came his wife’s painful cries of labor.
The butler comforted him, saying, "My Lord, rest assured. The Madam is blessed by heaven and will be fine!"
"How can I not worry?" the man said anxiously. "How long has it been since she went in?"
This was not his first child, so he had experience. This time... his wife had been in labor for far too long.
SWOOSH—
Just then, the courtyard was illuminated as a meteor crossed the night sky, strikingly bright and crystal clear.
The butler exclaimed with delight, "My Lord, this is an auspicious sign, an auspicious sign indeed!"
The words had barely left his mouth when the cries of a baby sounded from within the house. The voices of the midwife and attending maids followed, announcing the joyous news. "Congratulations, My Lord! Heartfelt congratulations, My Lord! It’s a young master!"
...
Similar scenes unfolded all across the Divine Province.
That night, over one hundred thousand meteors fell from the night sky, arriving at the homes of ordinary people. It was a sight few could witness. A rich layer of purple haze enveloped the vast lands of the Divine Province. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
This was a sign that a grand new era was about to commence!
...
「Over the East Sea.」
Watching as the last of the meteors vanished from sight, a gratified smile spread across Wang Xiu’s pale face.
"I succeeded!"
He let out a laugh, but then his vision went dark, and he plummeted from the void.
All around him, cries of alarm rang out.
