River State, Yankang, morning. The sea was foggy.
The soldiers of River State City would never forget this scene for many years. The gray sea was filled with fog, and a huge narwhal leaped out of the harbor. The whale's enormous body leaped over them, like a dark cloud that covered River State City's shipyard.
Then, the whale became smaller and smaller as it fell into the city.
Before the soldiers in the city could wake up, they saw a huge shadow sailing over from the fog. It was a tortoiseshell ship with all kinds of shells crawling on its hull. A black tortoise flag fluttered in the sea breeze.
This huge ship was heading straight for the dock. Just as it was about to crash into the dock, the tortoiseshell ship suddenly levitated several hundred feet off the ground. It grew four legs and walked over the ships, rumbling into the city.
The soldiers in the city stared blankly at the ship that passed in front of them. They saw that there were even flying snakes coiling around the ship. The giant snakes flapped their wings and wrapped around the ship's mast. The soldiers on the ship looked strange. They had a tortoise's back and a human's body with flying snakes coiling around them, forming a strange symbiotic relationship.
Tan Province also encountered strange things. It was famous for its thousand ponds. There were more than a thousand deep ponds outside and inside the city. The ponds were bottomless. On this day, the thousand ponds suddenly dried up. The water and fish in the ponds all disappeared. Many people looked into the ponds and saw that there were bronze doors at the bottom of the ponds.
The Tan Province magistrate ordered someone to check the bottom of the ponds and reported, "The bronze doors at the bottom of the ponds are locked with seals. They can't be opened."
The magistrate was bewildered. At this moment, one of the bronze doors suddenly opened. A man covered in scales walked out. He turned around and locked the door again. He shouted at the door, "I know, I know. Annoying woman! The Human Emperor summoned me. I'm going out to help according to my ancestor's promise … I won't fight fiercely. I have the best temper in our Earth Traveler race! What are you looking at? If you look again, I'll shatter your knees with one punch … I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about these bumpkin giants up there … I know how to lock the door. I'm even more long-winded than my mother! "
The Tan Province magistrate and the others stood by the pond. They saw a short man about five feet tall with a flying beard. He carefully locked the bronze door and came ashore.
The prefectural magistrate of Tan Zhou stepped forward and asked curiously, "Senior Brother …"
The short man, who was covered in scales, looked at him warily. "Giant bumpkin, don't even think about taking advantage of us Earth Travelers. We've made a rule before. The ground belongs to you bumpkin giants, and the ground belongs to us."
The prefectural magistrate of Tan Zhou was dumbfounded. However, he saw the short man shouting towards the bottom of the pond, "Woman, go easy on the water, lest these giants snatch our underground world!"
The water in the deep ponds immediately surged, and soon, all the ponds were filled with water. The blue waves were like scales, and there were many fish in the water.
Just as the magistrate of Tan Province was about to ask, the short man suddenly burrowed into the ground and disappeared.
The Tan Zhou magistrate and the others were flabbergasted. "There are people living underground? How did they survive underground? "
The Willow Province in the south worshipped the Willow Immortal, and there was an incident where the Willow Immortal transformed into an Azure Dragon and flew away.
Strange things were also happening all over the country. For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the villages.
"Mu 'er, this is the formation I saw in the sky that day. I didn't have the time to examine it in detail, so I can only remember this much."
In the manor, the Butcher handed over the sun, moon, and stars that he had drawn over the past two days to Qin Mu. Qin Mu's scalp couldn't help turning numb as he saw all kinds of drawings in the huge hall. He picked up a star atlas, and the star that the Butcher had drawn looked like a star on the outside. However, there was an extremely complicated structure inside, and it was rather cumbersome.
This star was Chief Star, and the pattern of the formation faintly showed the image of a black-faced and fanged ghost god. It held a brush in one hand and a golden seal in the other. Under its feet was a fish dragon sacrificial altar.
He picked up another star atlas, and it was Ravenous Wolf Star. The formation showed the pattern of a dragon turtle, and there was also a sacrificial altar under its feet.
Qin Mu frowned and looked at the star atlas one by one. Most of these star atlases had a sacrificial altar formed by a formation, and the inside of the star was the image of a god or devil formed by a formation.
"What exactly are these god or devil formations and sacrificial altars used for? Are they for the operation of the astronomical phenomenon, or do they have other uses? "
He felt faintly uneasy. If it was just to maintain the operation of the fake astronomical phenomenon in the sky, there was no need for it to be so complicated. All he had to do was let the formations shine.
Since it could be done so easily, why did he have to make it so complicated?
"These sacrificial altars are somewhat similar to the white bone sacrificial altar that I used to summon Dutian Devil King, but the structure of the formation is different."
Qin Mu felt his hair stand on end. There were countless stars floating in the sky, and there were countless sacrificial altars hidden in them. The sacrificial altars were used to summon gods and devils.
Imagine, if there was a blood sacrifice one day, and these gods and devils descended, tens of thousands of them. How terrifying would that be?
Not to mention Yankang, even the Founding Emperor Era would probably be destroyed, wouldn't it?
"Yankang Kingdom isn't worth spending so much effort to guard against and monitor, so what exactly is this fake astronomical phenomenon guarding against?"
He couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it.
The star atlas and formations drawn by Butcher were all incomplete. He didn't have the time to thoroughly study the fake astronomical phenomenon before he met the god guarding the sky atlas. However, he still drew a rough outline.
Qin Mu suppressed the astonishment in his heart and continued to examine the structure of the formations. His brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and he suddenly asked, "Grandpa Butcher, how are your attainments in formations?"
Butcher replied honestly, "So-so, not as good as Blind."
