Chapter 966: The Day the Sky Descends

Chen Guan raised his right hand and stared at it with surprise.On his right hand, lines of light patterns appeared like tattoos, constantly emerging.

Not only on his palm, but his entire body was manifesting these light patterns.

With the appearance of these patterns, Chen Guan felt a sense of confinement in his body as if possessed by a demon, gradually losing control of himself.

"This is..." Chen Guan vaguely sensed what kind of power this was.

"This is Long Yue’s Holy Maiden’s Seal... it seals all powers in the world... even the power of the Secret Law is sealed by the Holy Maiden’s Seal without effect," Mi Xiang said.

Chen Guan knew Mi Xiang was correct because his current Secret Law was Invulnerable to All Techniques, yet the Holy Maiden’s Seal still affected him, showing the terrifying nature of this Hidden Power.

And this was just a slight ripple from the Holy Maiden’s Seal; facing it directly would unleash an unimaginable force.

When Long Yue pointed at Ji Changsheng again, even Chen Guan couldn’t help but wonder if Ji Changsheng could withstand the strike of the Holy Maiden’s Seal.

Ji Changsheng didn’t try to block it and let the Holy Maiden’s Seal hit him. Countless light patterns quickly rose on his body, transforming into a humanoid cage of light, locking Ji Changsheng in, rendering him motionless.

"You’re too arrogant to face my Holy Maiden’s Seal; it’s your biggest failure." Long Yue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ji Changsheng sealed by the Holy Maiden’s Seal and smiled.

The Holy Maiden’s Seal only works when hit, and once hit, breaking it with one’s own power is impossible.

"Today is the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month," Ji Changsheng’s voice came from within the seal.

"What?" Long Yue did not understand what Ji Changsheng meant as there was no such calendar system in the Secret Spirit.

"Today is not suitable for travel; there might be twists and turns. Please reconsider," Ji Changsheng said to himself.

"Whatever it is, nothing can stop me from going to the Sky Garden today," Long Yue said coldly and attempted to ascend the walkway.

But soon, Long Yue and Mi Xiang’s expressions changed. Despite looking like she was only a few steps away from the walkway, neither spatial manipulation could get her closer by even a millimeter.

It seemed near, yet as distant as the horizon.

Long Yue exhausted all means but to no avail, landing back on the ship.

"This person’s power is utterly peculiar; even I cannot discern its origin. His entire presence seems to connect with the cosmic void, born out of the universe’s natural laws. Even if his body is sealed, the universe continues to operate unaffected unless you seal the entire universe together, making it hard to defuse the eerie strength at work..." Mi Xiang remarked seriously as she looked at the sealed Ji Changsheng.

"Damn it." Long Yue’s expression changed drastically.

Now she finally understood why Ji Changsheng didn’t counterattack; he had no need to counterattack because his mission wasn’t to defeat Long Yue or fight to the death. His only task was to prevent Long Yue from ascending the walkway.

Even if he was sealed up, it didn’t matter; Long Yue couldn’t reach the walkway.

"Long Yue, let’s go back and reconsider our approach," Mi Xiang suggested.

Although Long Yue’s power might not be inferior to Ji Changsheng’s, they suffered due to a lack of understanding about him.

"No way, this time I must ascend the sky walkway, enter the Sky Garden, and let the Virgo Race leave Sky City." Long Yue’s eyes were steadfast.

"Why leave Sky City? Being part of Sky City brings many benefits to the Secret Spirit, doesn’t it?" Chen Guan seized the chance to ask.

Long Yue stared at the sealed Ji Changsheng on the walkway and said, "There’s no such thing as free benefits in this world. Becoming part of Sky City indeed grants many rights and advantages, but it also involves responsibilities, which our Virgo Race cannot bear."

"What responsibilities?" Chen Guan genuinely didn’t know what responsibilities those Secret Spirit races joining Sky City had to bear.

Ignoring Chen Guan, Long Yue attacked Ji Changsheng again.

But this time, her power couldn’t touch Ji Changsheng, or rather, she couldn’t even get close to the walkway.

Long Yue dared not give up, continuously launching attacks. Each strike seemed ordinary but was an application of the realm of Invulnerability, unnoticed by outsiders.

In reality, every strike could pierce starry skies and destroy galaxies.

Such concentrated power couldn’t even punch through those few steps, unable to touch the sealed Ji Changsheng.

Her opponent wasn’t Ji Changsheng but the laws and principles of the universe.

Mi Xiang explained, "Sky Descent Day is almost here. If we cannot leave the Celestial Secret Realm by then, all residents of Sky City will descend to the Earth Secret Realm. The Virgo Race’s people in Sky City must go to the Earth Secret Realm too."

Chen Guan paused with surprise.

Only now did he realize that every time the Celestial Secret Realm descended upon the Divine Land, it was Sky City’s residents.

This discovery astounded Chen Guan.

He had always thought that most Secret Spirits descending upon the Divine Land were among the weaker Sky Secret Spirits.

Otherwise, given the prowess of Sky Secret Spirits, crushing Earth Secret Spirits and humans would be trivially simple; they aren’t even on the same level.

But the Secret Spirits in Sky City are among the top experts of each race and top-tier Sky Secret Spirit races.

Humans and Earth Secret Spirits might be at the Ninth Awakening, even if many broke through to the Tenth Awakening during combat; they might not be opponents for these Sky Secret Spirits.

"Could this generation’s humans and Earth Secret Spirits face a massive purge again?" Chen Guan wondered, feeling something amiss.

If it’s truly such a one-sided situation, why would Long Yue want to withdraw from Sky City before the Sky Secret Spirits descend, bringing the Virgo Race’s experts back?

"There must be some unknown reason behind all this," Chen Guan thought, pondering numerous possibilities, he turned to Mi Xiang: "The Virgo Race is so powerful; why don’t they wish to go to the Earth Secret Realm? It should only be beneficial for them, not harmful, right?"

"That’s not the case," Mi Xiang shook his head slightly and replied, "In previous Sky Descent Days, the various Secret Spirits who went to the Earth Secret Realm did gain many benefits, without major losses. But the situation is changing, each Sky Descent Day brings greater losses, each time harder than the last, especially recently, the losses have been devastating."

Chen Guan listened, dumbfounded; this seemed impossible. The Sky Secret Spirits’ war with Earth Secret Spirits never allowed the latter to gain any advantage, and yet it seemed like even the Sky Secret Spirits were wary.
