This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 263: Changes in the Zhoutian

To be honest, Zhuang Lin couldn't possibly be unaware of such a commotion, but at this moment he was like a battery, all he could do was keep recharging Xi Miao, and he couldn't interrupt her at this time.

Even if Xi Miao knew about the situation outside, given her boundless interest in the Xuan Tian Yi, she couldn't possibly stop what she was doing, especially since she was now completely immersed in the calculations.

Needless to say, Liu Hongyu was casting a spell to conceal the radiance while intently observing and comprehending it, clearly indicating that such opportunities would not come often.

The Xuan Tian Yi was currently operating at high speed, with its copper rings spinning rapidly, causing vibrations.

"Rumble rumble rumble"

The entire ancient building of the Imperial Observatory seemed to be shaking. Duan Kang and the others, who had just been sent out of the building, still felt unsteady on their feet because of the shaking.

Countless people in Kyoto gazed at the colorful clouds in the sky with curiosity, and countless others took photos and discussed them.

Meanwhile, in Kyoto's Bureau of Investigation and other important government offices, many people stared in astonishment at the ancient building, at the five-colored radiance that, though waning, was still impossible for them to perceive as an illusion.

"Xuguang, what should we do? Aren't they in danger?"

Duan Kang was extremely anxious at the moment, and in his concern, he asked such a question. Although Xiong Xuguang was also very anxious, he could only smile helplessly when he heard this.

"Dean, you're overthinking it. Master Fu and Senior Xi Miao should be fine. I'm more worried about Xuan Tianyi's condition, but I think Master Fu and the others know what they're doing!"

"Knowing one's limits" is what Zhuang Lin just said. Although Zhuang Lin himself may not dare to make any guarantees now, people outside still trust him.

Duan Kang and those around him realized what was happening.

The person inside is a Confucian immortal, the only immortal in the world today. He is someone who can maintain the present world's grotto-heaven by his own power and break through the barrier of time and space. Such a person is unlikely to be in trouble because of this Eastern Jin Dynasty.

"Look! Above the ancient building!"

Someone shouted, and everyone's attention was immediately drawn.

Despite Liu Hongyu's best efforts to maintain order, it was clear that he could not completely block out all the light, and at this moment, even more things were faintly projected into the sky above the ancient building.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
The sound produced by the rotation of the internal components of the Xuan Tian Yi is like a windmill in a strong wind, and it also brings about endless variables.

Various intangible forces are stirred up, and at the same time, they project the image of change itself.

Zhuang Lin looked at the Xuan Tian Yi indoors. Because he was somewhat connected to Xi Miao's thoughts at this moment, he could sense through her feelings that the faster the copper ring on it rotated, the more it represented the progression of the sun and moon's cycle.

Each rotation of the sun, moon, stars, heavenly stems, and earthly branches represents the rapid advancement of the year, month, and day, and the external fortune is also connected in this process.

Liu Hongyu was still in a state of profound understanding, while Zhuang Lin had already grasped the meaning through Xi Miao's perception.

Xi Miao directly accessed the moment the Xuan Tian Yi was created through it, which is the most complete information preserved by the Xuan Tian Yi at its earliest stage.

However, the Xuan Tian Yi has been around for a long time, and it has obviously been moved or misused. In addition, all spirits have withered, and the original information of the treasure during the middle period is disordered.

Then discard them all!
What Xi Miao did was to start from the beginning of the Xuan Tian Yi and re-deduce the entire process of the passage of time!

At this moment, all sorts of brilliant characters and symbols of the sun, moon and stars on the Xuan Tian Yi (a type of astronomical instrument) shone through the ancient building and reflected into the sky above it.

As a result, Duan Kang, Xiong Xuguang, and others saw some ancient seal script characters and stars in the sky. If it weren't for Liu Hongyu's restrictions, these things might have been projected into the sky above Kyoto.

On Duan Kang's side, Li Kai stared wide-eyed at the various strange phenomena, his heart filled with turmoil, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Indeed, professional equipment should be left to professionals."

This is Li Kai's idea, and it's also the idea of ​​many people. Everyone understands that this is what it means for the Xuan Tian Yi to be in operation. The previous kind could only be called gathering dust, and it only had a conditioned reflex triggered by external variables!
"Record it, did you record it? These symbols and the changes in the light must have meaning; they need to be recorded—"

Li Kai suddenly started shouting, and some people were jolted awake from their daze.

"Yes, yes, yes, we need to write it down!"

Duan Kang also shouted, and then someone immediately went to tidy up the equipment. After all, anyone who saw these changes in the light was basically unable to look away, as if there was a magical power that made people keep watching.

Li Kai stared intently at the sky.

"Dean, take a look, I think it's a celestial phenomenon."

Duan Kang, also an astronomer, realized what was happening at that moment and looked at the various changes in the sky above the ancient building.

“No, that’s not quite right. It should be called the change of the celestial sphere!” Li Kai was a pure modern physicist and astronomy researcher, while Duan Kang was not only an astronomer but also a legitimate successor of the Imperial Observatory, so he saw it more clearly.

As Duan Kang focused his mind to look at the scene, he cast aside his shock and bewilderment, and all he felt in his heart was the word "magnificent".

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

During this process, security forces, including military and police personnel, have begun to cordon off the surrounding area as much as possible near the Bureau of Investigation.
The disturbance started around 9:30 a.m. and gradually subsided around 3 p.m.

The ancient building itself did not collapse, but the hearts of countless people outside the building were in suspense, and even the higher-ups called Duan Kang several times.

The commotion began to subside, the brilliance in the sky slowly faded and receded, and then dark clouds appeared in the sky, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder.

The sky darkened rapidly.

"Rumble"

Lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating everything, and then a torrential downpour began.

There was no sound from inside the ancient building of the Imperial Observatory.

Liu Hongyu let out a long breath, feeling both physically and mentally exhausted yet incredibly excited. For the first time since achieving success in his cultivation, he felt his body's spiritual energy was completely empty.

Zhuang Lin stood behind Xi Miao and looked up at the Xuan Tian Yi. Although the light outside was gone, the Xuan Tian Yi was still radiant with light.

The lights and other equipment in the entire ancient building may have suffered some kind of damage, because not a single light bulb is on now.

Outside the ancient building's gate, Duan Kang and the others, who hadn't seen any movement for a long time, couldn't resist their curiosity and entered with a series of footsteps. They saw the Xuan Tian Yi, still radiant with light in the sky, and the three people below it.

Xiong Xuguang, Duan Kang, and the others looked up at the Xuan Tian sky. Within the flowing light, some symbols were rotating, but even more conspicuous were the blurry mountains composed of five colors: red, yellow, white, black, and cyan, and a blurry halo rising upwards.
Xi Miao's body trembled slightly, whether from excitement or fatigue, or perhaps both.

In fact, not long after she started fiddling with the Xuan Tian Yi, Xi Miao realized that she had gone too far, but she didn't want to stop. Sometimes, a moment of inspiration is all it takes, and if you stop and try again, you may not be able to find that feeling again. She didn't want to take the risk.

Anyway, the imperial court in this world is all-powerful, so let them handle the troubles.

After looking up for a long time, Xi Miao staggered slightly, and Zhuang Lin quickly reached out to support her. She was slightly out of breath, looked up at Zhuang Lin, and then looked at the faces coming in from outside.

"The changes of the Zhou Dynasty over 957 years have determined the current state of the world. The spiritual veins of heaven and earth are still intact, and the dragon veins of the world still have the power to roam. The Five Sacred Mountains are connected by the same energy, and can recreate the achievements of Buzhou Mountain!"

After Xi Miao finished speaking, a smile appeared on her face.

"Sir, it can be done, and the answers to many of the mysteries have now been found!"

Zhuang Lin was slightly taken aback but quickly realized that Xi Miao had thoroughly verified the calculations. That was not accurate; rather, she had determined the key point of the world's current energy while verifying the calculations.

"Master Zhuang, are you all alright?"

Although he knew the others were unlikely to be in any danger, Duan Kang couldn't help but ask the question.

Zhuang Lin smiled; perhaps the old man was more interested in asking if Xuan Tianyi was alright.

"Don't worry, everything is fine. Xuan Tianyi should be alright too; it was just the commotion just now."

Duan Kang breathed a sigh of relief, while Ms. Kuang Wenlan stepped forward with a smile and spoke.

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with what happened just now."
-
In the evening, Zhuang Lin and the others were arranged to rest in a special guesthouse.

This wasn't originally planned, but I'm very tired today, especially Xi Miao, which caused me to miss some planned tasks. So, I'll rest here for the night.

In the three rooms of the guesthouse, Liu Hongyu had already taken his medicine and was meditating and practicing his internal energy.

Although Xi Miao was tired, after taking some spiritual medicine, she was not in a hurry to cultivate and recover. Instead, she looked around the high-class guesthouse and finally filled a tub with hot water for a soak.

Previously, when I visited the Five Sacred Mountains, although I climbed them in the manner of an ordinary person, I always flew there and never stayed in a hotel. I mostly focused on deducing the energy flow within the mountains. This time, I was finally able to satisfy my curiosity.

Zhuang Lin, meanwhile, was half-lying in his suite's bedroom, watching the news on TV, which was reporting on the day's events.

"During the day today, the city experienced a spectacular sight of colorful clouds floating in the sky for half a day, attracting many citizens to admire it. Our reporter also recorded this moment and contacted relevant experts. The experts said that this is a relatively rare celestial phenomenon, which usually occurs during seasons of drastic climate change, often before heavy rain, when the air is more humid, and the rainbow is created by the refraction of sunlight."

Zhuang Lin grinned. "Wow, that's quite the story!"
