Chapter 849 587: Return
In the Celestial Profound Calendar year 25142, on the sixth day of the ninth month, it was quite an ordinary day.
However, on this day, nearly half of the powerful entities of the Celestial Profound Realm gathered in Linjiang City in Jiangzhou, constantly observing the mountain hidden in the dense fog not far away, eagerly anticipating the resurgence of Ziwei Mountain, which had been sealed for a hundred years.
In reality, without some unspeakable reasons, the sealed Ziwei Mountain was merely a long-hidden Noble Family reappearing after a hundred years, and there should be no interactions between them and these pinnacle existences.
But it couldn't be helped that the Star Venerable, who overshadowed the Celestial Profound Realm like a deity, had precisely emerged from this Ziwei Mountain.
As elites standing atop the peak, it could be said they are the closest existence to that heavenly figure. Yet, the higher the cultivation, the more they knew how terrifying the Star Venerable was, who hadn't made a move in eighty years.
It was a great horror that elicited inner fear just by looking up, and everyone, whether mortal or divine, could feel it!
At this moment, inside a century-old renowned inn in Linjiang City exclusively for high-tier cultivators, many people were peering at the mist still obscuring the mountains from the window, their hearts unsettled and anxious.
They were afraid.
Afraid that if any accident occurred during Ziwei Mountain's return, or more directly, if Ziwei Mountain couldn't return, would the Star Venerable immediately become a world-ending Demon Venerable wiping out everything?
This concern wasn't held by just a single person; the Four Great Sacred Lands, hundreds of Noble Families, numerous Sects, and even the Demon Race Royal City in the Northern Continent had sent people to investigate what was happening here. Nearly a hundred Longevity True Monarch Level experts gathered in this small Linjiang City, all waiting for the first-hand news concerning Ziwei Mountain.
In fact, many among them had been waiting here for over a month, and the latest arrivals were about seven days late.
The reason was none other than that Ziwei Mountain hadn't returned on the originally set date seven days ago, causing everyone's hearts to be on edge, worried that the celestial Star Venerable above might suddenly decide to slap the Celestial Profound Realm!
Everyone was afraid.
And it wasn't just outsiders; even many Peak Elders within the Star Palace, along with two Longevity True Monarchs, were anxiously waiting here.
The feeling in their hearts transitioned from curiosity to anxiety, to unease, and finally to the current fear.
Consequently, the 'atmosphere' within Linjiang City had grown increasingly oppressive.
"It's already September 6th, seven days past the original time."
"Seven days is seven days; the news has been sent back to the Holy Land, and it's likely now informed to the ancestors in the Spirit Realm. By now, the ancestors have probably used their power to explore the Spirit Realm, even if Ziwei Mountain really got lost, I reckon the ancestors have the means to safely escort it back."
"I'm not doubting the ancestors' abilities, I'm just afraid that something unmentionable happened on Ziwei Mountain, making the ancestors hesitant to bring them back."
"You jinx!"
"Yes, I'm a jinx, but that's just how this world is. After all, a hundred years have passed, who knows what happened on Ziwei Mountain? If what happened there really displeased that figure, then at the moment of Ziwei Mountain's return, it could be a great disaster awaiting us...."
"You better shut that foul mouth of yours. Regardless of what happened on Ziwei Mountain, as long as it can return safely, when facing that figure's inquiry, we at least have something to say. If that figure really wants to implicate our Daluo Taoist Lands, we also won't fear them for having the former leaders of the Spirit Realm around; the sky of the Celestial Profound Realm won't fall!"
"..." That person remained silent, merely pointed up at the sky.
Seeing this, the one who spoke earlier also held their breath at this moment, after a moment, they exhaled again and, with a bitter smile, said:
"....Fine, fine, I speak with no confidence. I'm asking you as a brother, we've had thousands of years of friendship, just ask you to say something good in the coming days, hope for the best, and please, don't say those life-threatening words anymore."
"Phew....Brother, what you said just now gave me a fright, really made me feel that our Daluo Taoist Lands have some hidden means I know nothing of, that can handle this god....up there."
"Indeed, a god, Star God, in the fifty thousand years since our Human Race arrived in the Celestial Profound, this should be the first and only one, not permitted for anyone to spread the word, yet defined by the entire world as a god, correct?"
Whispering to himself, this Longevity Realm cultivator couldn't help but raise his head to look at the 'Star River Giant God' almost tangible above, praying it won't vent over some trivial matters onto the innocent Celestial Profound Realm.
"If everyone didn't know this was the Dharma Image of the Star Venerable, I too might believe this was truly a god."
"From virtual to real in recent decades, as of today, just by appearance alone, the face is exactly the same as when the Star Venerable was young, only with this kind of physique....should I say, truly worthy of being the strongest since descending to the Celestial Profound in fifty thousand years?"
"Uh, In fact, all this while I've gotten used to it, but hearing you all say that today, it really is somewhat frightening, by the way, what realm is that Star Venerable currently in, to be able to create such a terrifying thing?"
