Chapter 100: Grand Witch Essence and Qi Gives Birth to Kuafu
It was said that two hundred million souls dragged the formation toward the sun above, the path marked by howling cold wind, obscuring the sky, casting the entire world into darkness.
The common folk were so frightened they closed their doors and did not venture out, sacrificing chickens and dogs, scattering their blood on the thresholds to ward off evil spirits.
The souls finally reached above the sun and merged into the formation, casting a shadow directly overhead. Instantly, the sun flickered and dimmed, pulled by the formation, it slowly descended toward the western direction.
People throughout the world were alarmed. Was the sun really sinking? Where was it being pulled?
Deep within the Celestial Realm.
A Taoist in white robes sat cross-legged, before him was a shattered void brimming with Chaos, as if Heaven and Earth had yet to form.
This Taoist had hair as white as a crane and the youthful face of a child, his skin rosily translucent like that of an infant.
He hung a painting in the void, sealing a vast space and stabilizing the broken void to prevent it from further shattering and being obliterated. The Taoist appeared as light as a feather, but inside him surged a torrential Mana, yet this Mana was as endless as the ocean—everlasting and inexhaustible.
"The sun should not set, and Di Jun should not die... If the sun were to forever sink into the boundless swamps of Yu Valley, who knows how many creatures between Heaven and Earth would die, how many cultivators would be hindered in their progress? This General has really outdone himself, after lying dormant for tens of thousands of years, to conjure such a grand spectacle now. Had I known earlier when he had a chance, I should have completely killed him," sighed the Taoist in white, calculating meticulously.
Having said that, with a flick of his sleeve, a pile of bones appeared on the ground. These bones emitted radiant glows, belonging to many Grand Witches killed during the ancient wars between witches and demons, including Hou Yi, Chi You, Xing Tian, among others... The Taoist in white had people collect them, and today they were finally put to significant use.
The Taoist in white then spat out a Golden Core, stabilizing the painting in front of him, stood up, and began arranging some Magical Treasures for the formation.
