When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 794 - 579: Day and Night Alternation!
Chapter 794: Chapter 579: Day and Night Alternation!
"Alright! We’ll wait for you for a quarter of an hour!"
Jiao Shikai sneered coldly, as he didn’t believe Xiang Beifei had the ability; as long as the sky wasn’t dark in fifteen minutes, he would immediately encourage the cultivators of Light Valley to besiege Xiang Beifei.
Flaming Six Wings felt a stir in his heart.
"Could he really predict the time of day and night alternation? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! He must be bluffing!"
"But if it’s a bluff, how dare he set the timer at fifteen minutes? Logically, if he is trying to delay time, the longer the better."
"He might be brewing something! Maybe he has set up some defensive formation around the valley, which takes a quarter of an hour to activate? Yes, that must be it!"
Flaming Six Wings’ mind was racing with thoughts, with numerous ideas flashing through in an instant.
His gaze swept around, searching for traces of the formation, but the surroundings of the valley were quiet, with no such formation protection. He snorted coldly in his heart, convinced that the formation was very well hidden.
From now on, he would be wary, keeping an eye on Xiang Beifei. Once the quarter hour was over if Xiang Beifei made any move, he would immediately intervene to prevent any sneaky maneuvers.
A quarter of an hour wasn’t very long, merely about fifteen minutes.
The cultivators of Light Valley were all waiting to see Xiang Beifei make a fool of himself; if nothing happened after the quarter hour, they would crowd around Flaming Six Wings to seize the territory of Zha Jiang Stronghold.
Time ticked by second by second, especially for Jiao Shikai and Jiao Dihong, who were counting down to the moment to then find an excuse to trouble Xiang Beifei.
After all, they didn’t need to personally take action; Flaming Six Wings would handle everything.
Finally, the quarter hour passed, yet the sky had not darkened, Jiao Shikai couldn’t wait any longer and immediately shouted, "The quarter hour is up, the sky has not completely darkened, Xiang Beifei, you speak deceit, obstructing our Lord Chi from finding hope for departure, what more do you have to say!"
Flaming Six Wings also breathed a sigh of relief, fixing his gaze on Xiang Beifei. His aura slightly rose as Holy Light spread all around, saying, "Daoist Xiang, you rashly speculated that it would turn dark in fifteen minutes; now the quarter hour is up and it’s still so light. It would be better if you just lend us the valley; only I am capable of unraveling the day and night alternation..."
Before Flaming Six Wings could finish his sentence, the sky suddenly darkened as if a switch had been flipped, plunging the entire Blacks Waters riverside into endless darkness. Pure darkness enveloped all the cultivators, blocking their perception entirely, as if plunging into an endless abyss.
"This..."
All the cultivators were utterly surprised!
What’s going on?
The sky had actually turned dark!
Even Jiao Dihong and Jiao Shikai of the Panjiao Race, who were ready to trouble Xiang Beifei and whose faces wore smug expressions, were suddenly struck dumb and speechless.
This...this... this really was a change of weather!
All the cultivators of Light Valley were also shocked. They wanted to see the reactions of their colleagues, yet in the darkness, they could only perceive themselves, completely unable to sense anyone else.
The one most shocked was Flaming Six Wings!
If one could see his expression in the darkness, they would find that his demeanor had completely changed, no longer calm and tranquil as before.
On the contrary, his face had twisted, even developing spots of yellow, nearly revealing his true form as a Meat-Winged Monster, his expression as though he had swallowed Erha’s saliva and it had caused constipation.
"What on earth is going on? How could the true night appear?" Flaming Six Wings couldn’t accept this fact.
You see, the "day and night alternation" was a fake narrative he had concocted to deceive the cultivators of Light Valley, intending to forcefully connect "day and night alternation" with divine inheritance and then packaging it himself to spread the lies, persuading more cultivators to faithfully become his followers and oppose Xiang Beifei.
But he never expected that the fiction he made up would come true!
Xiang Beifei had actually predicted when the sky would darken!
—Could it be that Xiang Beifei controlled the darkness?
This thought flashed through Flaming Six Wings’ mind.
"No, it can’t be his doing; this darkness is very strange, completely suppressing the senses, even suppressing my Perception. Plus, if it were his control, he wouldn’t have needed us to wait a quarter hour, he would have turned it dark immediately, it’s unrelated to him!"
Flaming Six Wings immediately dismissed this notion. He didn’t believe Xiang Beifei had the capability to control the day and night alternation of the Land of Inheritance, if he indeed had such power, there was no need to make everyone wait fifteen minutes, which brought him no benefit.
This meant that the day and night alternation genuinely had a pattern, and Xiang Beifei had actually grasped it!
"Damn, to have it predicted by him!"
Flaming Six Wings cursed inwardly, realizing he had hit a snag!
The darkness didn’t last long, only about ten breaths before returning to normal.
Yet now, all the cultivators of Light Valley were unsettled.
They looked at each other, their eyes filled with astonishment!
"How did Lord Chi’s prediction lack the accuracy of Xiang Beifei’s?"
"Yes, he really predicted that it would be dark in a quarter of an hour!"
"Lord Chi, didn’t you just predict that it would be dark in a quarter of an hour?" Some cultivators had already started wavering in their trust in Flaming Six Wings.
The cultivators of Light Valley came here because they firmly believed in what Flaming Six Wings stated about the "laws of day and night transition and the tests of divine inheritance" being closely related, which meant they held an unwavering belief in what Flaming Six Wings said.
However, Flaming Six Wings had just predicted one hour and forty-five minutes, while Xiang Beifei directly predicted a quarter of an hour, and what’s more, he successfully realized that prediction—this meant Xiang Beifei’s prediction was more accurate than Flaming Six Wings!
Xiang Beifei was the cultivator who truly mastered the law of day and night transitions!
——I predict your grandma’s trip to the underworld!
Flaming Six Wings had already started cursing internally, wishing he could tear Xiang Beifei into a million pieces!
But he still maintained his composure and, before daylight, he retracted his Meat-Winged Monster appearance. However, his complexion looked terrible now, because Xiang Beifei had completely humiliated him.
"Daoist Chi, it seems your race isn’t very proficient in mastering the laws of day and night transitions at the Land of Inheritance! Your ancestors obtained the inheritance through these laws, and you haven’t managed to learn their methods; what a pity."
Xiang Beifei shook his head slightly, looking at Flaming Six Wings with a meaningful gaze.
Flaming Six Wings clenched his fists!
"Hmph, a blind cat running into a dead mouse, our Lord Chi just happened to make a slight miscalculation. After all, your valley is the prime observation spot, and Lord Chi is not familiar with your valley, so of course, you could predict it."
Kana promptly stepped in to give Flaming Six Wings a way out.
But this was exactly what Xiang Beifei wanted him to say, because Kana’s words undoubtedly told all cultivators that Xiang Beifei indeed had the ability to predict the transitions of day and night!
This was good!
"Indeed, our Zha Jiang Stronghold is indeed an observation spot, and I knew this from the beginning, which is why I mentioned coming here. Unfortunately, Daoist Chi seems not well versed, your predecessors left behind scriptures, yet you seem a bit slow to catch on!"
"By the way, the one hour and forty-five minutes you mentioned, that is the daily sunset time at the Land of Inheritance, something all cultivators are aware of, not a prediction," Xiang Beifei said with a slight smile.
He was openly mocking Flaming Six Wings!
Upon hearing this, the cultivators of Light Valley became restless!
They could now basically confirm one thing—the laws of day and night transition indeed related to divine inheritance, but Xiang Beifei’s ability far surpassed that of Flaming Six Wings!
Flaming Six Wings was merely using the known time of darkness to deceive them while Xiang Beifei was truly making predictions!
This was a real boss!
Kana still refused to give up, trying to restore her master’s dignity, and said, "It was just a coincidence that he got it right this time, it’s nothing impressive! Our Lord Chi is looking much further ahead!"
Xiang Beifei laughed again and said, "Everyone should also be aware, how quickly the last day and night transition happened, I can tell you, another day and night transition will occur soon. Since Daoist Chi is looking further ahead, may I ask if Daoist Chi knows when the next transition will occur?"
Flaming Six Wings glared at Xiang Beifei with a dark expression, fuming internally, even the halo above his head dimmed and almost disappeared.
What is the next day and night transition? How would he know!
But now he couldn’t back down; he had to provide a reasonable explanation.
"Two... within two hours!" Flaming Six Wings said through gritted teeth.
Li Qianluo burst out laughing, "Hahaha! By that logic, I could predict the laws of day and night transition too, I predict that within one day, the phenomenon of day and night transition will occur again!"
"I predict one hour!" Fu Qiuzi immediately followed, still having not gotten over being vocally thrashed by the cultivators of Light Valley.
"I predict half an hour!" Guan Cang also chimed in opportunely.
"I predict one hour and forty-five minutes!"
"Within two quarters of an hour!"
Their leading the chant, the cultivators of Zha Jiang Stronghold immediately began to jeer. Many of them already disliked the hypocritical pretenses of the Moon God Race, knowing that the Moon God Race was deceiving people, hence they chose to settle down at Zha Jiang Stronghold; now that they had a chance to retaliate, how could they let it go?
"Hahaha, so it seems everyone is a foreteller now!"
Li Qianluo looked at Flaming Six Wings with a giggle, "Speaking of which, Flaming Six Wings, your prophetic abilities are really amazing! On the same level as all our fellow Daoists here at Zha Jiang Stronghold, impressive indeed!"
Li Qianluo was digging into Flaming Six Wings with every comment.
Flaming Six Wings was so angry his nose was almost crooked!
But he couldn’t lash out now, because the image the Moon God Race projected to outsiders was of being unselfish, gentle, reasonable, loving, and magnanimous; if he lost his temper, it meant he couldn’t handle losing, destroying their carefully built image!
He was now bound by the shining identity he had crafted for himself.
