Rumble~
The sky was blue, the sun was bright, but a gloom descended with the thundering noise coming out of nowhere and shaking everything in creation. A prismatic glow flooded everywhere, wreaking havoc as it crossed the heavens. It caused the ground to sake as well, incomprehensible as it sounded, surging like waves.
As for the people riding the waves, they were barely standing, with the real experts under a heavy pressure from the light, sealing their power and reduced to weak and frail mortals. Even flying was impossible.
Inside a grand and lavish palace among the trees on Seven Sacred Mountain in the Sacred Domain, a group of white coats with white long beards stooped in an attempt to keep themselves steady.
A broad man with a Van **** beard stumbled in through the doors, panic on his face, “Lord Saints, just what is going on? What is this?”
“We know not, but the world is in turmoil, taking it out on everything. This isn’t normal. We’ve been living for a million years but never seen anything like it. Something must’ve happened. Check the archive’s records for anything. The world is about to go through a change!”
“Yes!” The man staggered out at once.
The Ruby Cloud Sect in the Sacred Domain held a group of Daoist women scrambling as they strained to stand upright. One among them, aged, stuck to the wall while looking above at the prismatic phenomenon. Her heart was frantic, her face a mask of fear while her eyes filled with confusion.
[Just what is going on? Has Sacred Domain ever seen such a shocking change?]
Whoosh!
In moments, the prismatic glow faded in the distance. The woman hesitated then rushed unsteadily in the distance, leaving her disciples behind still trying to fight the shaking…
In one corner of the Sacred Domain, devoid of the shock and franticness the rest of the domain felt, in a quiet and isolated manor, a creek snaked about a book pavilion where a hand held a chess piece in hand. It shook once before stilling.
The Sacred Domain began rumbling then, with only him and this place unaffected.
“A Sovereign path appeared?”
Next to him, a man in black and hidden face gasped, “Has he returned so soon? We didn’t even feel it!”
Pa!
The hand finally placed the piece on the board, “The path is present but not the user. It’s quite unexpected for him to separate himself from it.”
“The Sovereign path keeps him alive at all times. With it gone it means his end is nigh!”
The man in black nodded as he said, “Should I investigate who he gave the path to?”
In the dusky room the man laughed in the end, “Don’t bother. The Sovereign path is born of the world and only a Sovereign can find it. We have no chance so why try to. Besides, the person protected by the Sovereign path has to be important. He will stand out with ease and soon will be found. Also, I’m not content with just his path, but his people!”
Pa!
Another chess piece fell, with two glimmer shining peculiar in the gloom. The right shone in twelve golden rings while the right flickering purple.
“Your path returned, but when will your man return? Ha-ha-ha…”
The dark laughter spread through the world, making even the prismatic glow high above shudder…
Rumble~
The Sacred Domain was rumbling still, with every corner jolted around. It took two hours for the prismatic glow to fade and the commotion to die down.
Though all denizens of Sacred Domain were now shaken to the core and confused.
Only some really old and powerful relics knew the truth, as well as the cause of it all, Heaven Sealing Sea Ao, who was grinning after the mortal domain got shaken up as well.
“It’s been too long since the ten Sovereigns formed their paths. That’s the last time I’ve seen such a phenomenon.”
“Uncle Sea Ao, what was that? Why did I feel so weak?” Finally able to stand still without the ground moving beneath her, Qiao’er asked curiously.
Sea Ao sighed, “The coming of a Sovereign path causes stirrings throughout the world. When the ten Sovereigns formed theirs, the same happened. Once the path enters the body, they would be one and the phenomenon ceases.”
