Twisted Dreams-Chapter 124 - 96: Twin Moons in Harmony
The seven Apostles stood at the positions of the Magic Circle, as the Demon Power surged.
They chanted the spell left by Li Yang, and the surrounding environment became so quiet that even the sound of the wind blowing the leaves vanished.
A red Magic Circle appeared beneath their feet.
As the chanting grew louder and faster, ripples appeared within the red Magic Circle.
Suddenly.
The fiery red borders of the Magic Circle expanded outward like a tide, instantly covering the entire island!
The Spirit Bodies left on the island, after Li Yang’s experiments, were absorbed entirely by the gigantic red Magic Circle.
After absorbing the Spirit Bodies, the energy supporting the Magic Circle became abundant.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the gigantic red Magic Circle suddenly split into six, stacking like a pile of papers, forming what seemed like a mysterious fiery red pillar.
The seven Apostles moved.
They chanted the spell, and the six Magic Circles ascended into the sky, quickly disappearing, drifting toward the six cities chosen by Li Yang.
Li Yang contemplated creating a gigantic Magic Circle in the sky, like the moon, allowing all of Xia Country to see it, radiating over more areas.
But... how massive a Magic Circle that would have to be!
As is well known, the moon only appears small from afar...
Even if Li Yang advanced another Tier, he wouldn’t be able to create a moon visible to all in Xia Country.
The Tree of Human Essence showed a solemn expression with a hundred faces.
Each of the six gigantic Magic Circles had a special connection with it, as it was the core of the ’Second Test’ in the Extraordinary World.
After completing the creation of the Magic Circles, the other Apostles transmitted their Spiritual Power to the Tree of Human Essence.
In this world, only three knew the Dharma Gate of sharing Spiritual Power.
Death God - Li Yang, Tree of Human Essence - Bodhi, Talisman Sect Leader - Mo Yulin.
One reason the Tree of Human Essence became a pivotal figure was its ability to absorb Spiritual Power from others and to share it.
During the process of transmitting Spiritual Power to the Tree of Human Essence, an undetectable small incident occurred.
The change in the Crow’s eyes was well concealed by itself.
On the initial appearance, when everyone was admiring the grandeur of the Black Dragon Emperor, the Crow’s face displayed unmasked pride.
But now?
As the Crow transmitted Spiritual Power, it sensed the strength of the other Apostles, realizing its own insignificance!
The Crow’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
No wonder the Crow was weaker than the other Apostles.
While the others were cultivating, the Crow was recruiting followers.
While the others were researching Talent Skills, the Crow was still recruiting followers.
Having only acquired a quarter of the Three-headed Hellhound’s power, its combat power naturally paled compared to the other Apostles due to its lack of diligent cultivation.
The Tree of Human Essence said in a deep voice:
"Black Dragon Emperor, focus."
The Crow’s gaze turned cold as it concentrated fully.
...
Changbai Mountain.
A completely snow-white Little White Fox dozed at the entrance of a cave on the mountain.
Suddenly, it sensed something, pricked up its ears in alert, and opened its eyes to look around.
Its eyes showed confusion.
The snow-covered cave entrance appeared to be slightly wriggling.
Soon after, a few Spirit Plants broke through the snow, thriving in the winter night.
Has spring arrived early?
Out of the corner of its eye, the Little White Fox noticed something, raising its head abruptly, eyes filled with shock.
In the sky, there were two moons!
One was a bright moon, and the other a Blood Moon!
Mysteriously, a strange power surged into its mind, and the Little White Fox’s eyes gleamed with a human-like brilliance.
...
On another side of Changbai Mountain.
Several beasts worshiped the Blood Moon in the sky.
By chance, they had consumed Spirit Plants and Immortal Herbs, gaining intelligence and even some strange powers.
A wildflower emitting a fluorescent glow sprouted from the ground.
Sensing the opportunity, several beasts turned red-eyed, fought fiercely, and bit at each other just to seize that wildflower.
They knew that consuming it would benefit them significantly.
"Shut up!"
A childish voice came from the peach tree.
The beasts, terrified, looked at the small juvenile monkey on the peach tree.
The Heartless Little Monkey bared its teeth at the beasts:
"I finally dreamed of my master!
If you disturb my dreams again, I’ll eat you all!"
Frightened, the beasts fled in panic.
Even the ferocious Northeast Tiger dared not linger any longer.
What does ’in the mountains without a tiger, the monkey calls himself king’ mean?
This Little Golden Monkey was indeed the boss of Changbai Mountain; no one could defeat it.
...
Lotus City.
A young couple, wearing down jackets, sat side by side on a park bench.
On their first date, they were somewhat nervous, a bit shy.
The girl bowed her head, her cheeks red:
"Do you, do you love me?"
The boy quickly lifted his head to respond:
"I love you!"
Just then, the boy saw something and stared at the sky in disbelief.
There was a Blood Moon up there!
He exclaimed in shock:
"Love, oh my god!"
...
South Sea.
Su Yutang held a cup of coffee, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the Detai Group Building office, watching the sky with a grim expression.
Below was a crowd of bystanders filming the spectacular Blood Moon in the sky with their phones.
The online community was abuzz about the spectacle of the dual moons rising.
[I told you the Spiritual Energy Revival is happening, right?]
[I think the authorities can’t hide this anymore!]
[Haha, you guys need to trust in science. It’s just a natural spectacle, a bunch of illiterates!]
[Is your so-called natural spectacle like this? Haven’t you read novels?]
[But in novels, once the Blood Moon appears, it’s supposed to trigger a zombie apocalypse...]
Such Magic Circles appeared in the skies over six cities.
Not all beings in those six cities would thus become extraordinary.
Only those lucky enough to open up a Sea of Spirit.
...
Imperial Capital.
Security Administration Building.
Several Intermediate Administrators sat in a conference room.
Everyone expressed their opinions on the dual moons rising.
A physicist shared thoughts on the concept of an artificial moon, hypothesizing about aerospace technology, lighting satellite technology, and whether it could cause light pollution.
Although everyone knew the dual moons rising was definitely an extraordinary event, they listened earnestly to the physicist’s hypothesis.
In today’s society, compared to the Extraordinary Civilization, the hallmark of contemporary civilization is science.
To explain, understand, and interpret the extraordinary, a scientific theoretical foundation is essential.
If they didn’t boldly hypothesize from a scientific perspective, handling extraordinary events would be like the blind crossing a river for the Security Administration, squandering all its advantages.
Of course, the Security Administration didn’t know that the Blood Moon in the sky was just a Magic Circle after all.
After Elder He and the physicist finished with their hypothesis, they glanced at Zhang Xiaoyi, who was nodding off:
"Sect Leader Zhang, what do you think?"
Zhang Xiaoyi happened to be in the Imperial Capital, so he was naturally invited to the security meeting.
As for how the authorities knew Zhang Xiaoyi was in the Imperial Capital...
If the authorities couldn’t even track the Sect Leader of Shu Mountain’s whereabouts, it would be their negligence.
Of course, the authorities wouldn’t overly monitor Zhang Xiaoyi, as a sign of respect for their special consultant.
Zhang Xiaoyi rubbed his eyes:
"The Blood Moon has a very strong Spiritual Power fluctuation, which is the biggest known anomaly so far."
Elder He asked:
"Can Sect Leader Zhang elaborate?"
Zhang Xiaoyi shook his head:
"It’s unclear, I can only say that Blood Moon is not ordinary, constantly emitting Spiritual Power.
It seems like a portal, sending large amounts of Spiritual Power to this world."
Everyone fell into contemplation.
This sounded like a reverse black hole.
Elder He sighed and looked at Wei Ming, who was seated last:
"Xiaowei, what do you think of this?"
Everyone turned to look at Wei Ming.
Wei Ming was a talent, always able to keenly point out the crux of extraordinary events.
