The Eternal Calamity of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 295 Lesser Yin and Lesser Yang
In the year 710,000 of the Mythical Era, on the planet Ziwei, a strange thing suddenly happened.

An extremely dense black mist appeared silently and enveloped the entire ancient star.

It is not lethal, but it can significantly suppress divine sense and shield all heavenly secrets.

Such a strange event was unheard of, affecting not only the mortal world but also the cultivation world, catching everyone off guard.

The major powers of Ziwei Star were all astonished, unsure of what had happened.

For a time, cultivators were scattered everywhere in a panic, some trying to escape, others trying to find out why.

Even the Cangxuan Sect was alarmed. As the only Celestial Venerable lineage on Ziwei Star, it usually follows its ancestral teachings and acts in a low-key manner. Now, it has unusually invited a powerful expert with profound foundation to take charge of the Cangxuan Furnace and inspect multiple regions, which is awe-inspiring.

After lasting for three whole days, the black fog mysteriously dissipated again, appearing and disappearing without a trace.

At this point, the clouds and fog dispersed, and the sky gradually cleared.

A large group of diviners gathered together, using their divination skills to try to deduce the reasons behind it. Also waiting for the results were the Holy Lords and Elders from various forces.

However, this action seemed to have violated some taboo, and it attracted an earth-shattering lightning tribulation.

It's hard to imagine what they had deduced. Fortunately, an old monster from the Cangxuan Sect intervened, activating the Cangxuan Furnace for protection. In addition, the heavenly tribulation was short-lived, not boundless or endless.

In the end, as the radiance faded, no one was injured or killed.

However, many cracks appeared on the tortoise shell used for divination, and all the diviners looked pale.

"What did you see?"

The old monster from the Cangxuan Sect asked a question, and the other powerful figures were also nervous, watching them intently.

"There was an invisible hand that seized all the light and twisted it into billions of fireflies that fell into the endless abyss, leaving everything pitch black," a celestial strategist said with lingering fear.

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

To cover up the sky with one hand—what an astonishing feat!

But what was the purpose? It couldn't just be a joke, could it?

"Tear!"

Suddenly, the cracked shell of the Xuan Turtle shattered completely, breaking into pieces that scattered across the platform.

This is the remains of a Xuan Turtle that cultivated to the peak of Quasi-Celestial Venerable and passed away. After special refinement, it is extremely sturdy and most suitable as a vessel for casting spells to deduce heavenly secrets.

It has now shattered, as if it could not withstand some unseen force.

Upon seeing this, everyone was taken aback.

However, the group of astrologers seemed to have gleaned some important information, and their expressions turned to shock.

"The Xuan Turtle Divine Armor recorded the future at the cost of its own destruction!" an old astrologer suddenly shouted, his lips trembling uncontrollably.

"What's wrong?" everyone asked anxiously.

"Yin and Yang unite, twin infants devour the universe, the moon star splits into three, the sun star collapses into five..."

All the diviners exchanged glances, and then read aloud the prophecy they had received in unison.

This single, seemingly random sentence left many of the Holy Lords and Elders present puzzled.

Only the old monster from the Cangxuan Sect seemed to have guessed something. After communicating with the deity inside the Cangxuan Furnace, the Supreme Heavenly Venerable Weapon, he solemnly sealed off this small world nearby.

"Everyone, let's leave it at that."

The old monster took a deep breath and said, "I think continuing to investigate would not be a good thing for anyone."

As soon as he finished speaking, an overwhelming power erupted, causing the sky to collapse and the Great Dao to roar.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in dismay, their bodies and minds trembling.

They then reluctantly agreed.

……

This strange phenomenon that occurred on Ziwei Star came quickly and went quickly.

The cultivation world was in an uproar over this, with everyone speculating about the reasons behind it. The news even spread to other life-bearing planets through the Star Trial Road, attracting many curious cultivators.

Strangely, the major powers that should have been most anxious have fallen silent, contrary to their usual behavior.

The more secret something is kept, the more curious people become, and the more they want to explore its mysteries.

Amidst this turbulent and unpredictable situation, no one could have imagined that the source of the strange phenomenon originated from the western Divine Continent of Ziwei Star, and was related to the birth of two babies.

This is a rare pair of fraternal twins, one male and one female, with the girl being slightly larger and the boy slightly smaller.

Upon their birth, the elder sister's left eye transformed into a black hole, attempting to drain all yin energy within a million miles; the younger brother's right eye emitted a white light, intending to devour all yang spiritual energy. As the essence of heaven and earth was continuously absorbed, the void between the two infants began to collapse, gradually forming a vortex of spiritual energy.

Fortunately, a dense black mist appeared in time to shield all abnormal fluctuations and provided enough spiritual energy for the two infants to grow; otherwise, they would have been discovered by cultivators with ulterior motives long ago.

……

More than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye.

Throughout this time, cultivators tirelessly investigated the truth of what happened back then, until the news that the Starry Sky Trial Road was about to open completely ignited the storm in the world.

At this time, deep in the wilderness of the western Shenzhou of Ziwei Star, two young people began to gradually emerge.

The sky is vast and the wilderness boundless; a silvery-white moon slowly rises from the edge of the grassland.

"Roar!"

As a gentle, water-like light shone down, the last ferocious beast collapsed, its blood flowing everywhere.

The older sister stepped barefoot on the corpse of the monstrous ape, the frost spreading from her feet freezing the beast's blood into clusters of scarlet coral.

"Aren't you done yet? You're dawdling."

She bent down and picked up half of the blood-stained bronze mask.

At that moment, the moonlight streamed across his pale face, making the shimmering silver light deep within his pupils appear even more eerie.

Then, a voice quickly responded to her.

"Sis, this is the seventeenth one. It almost made it into the semi-saint realm. If we keep killing like this, we'll probably be surrounded and wiped out."

After saying this, the younger brother emerged from the charred remains of the giant tree, his fingertips still entwined with the still-burning true fire of the sun.

As he walked, he casually pulled up a few vines to tie up his red hair, revealing a hideous old scar on his neck—a wound left from a fight with a ferocious beast a few years ago, and now the scar faintly shows the pattern of a solar eclipse.

In fact, these were the twins from back then, the older sister named Shao Ying and the younger brother named Shao Yang, who were born without parents.

Perhaps due to absorbing too much spiritual energy from heaven and earth, the two infants possessed physiques comparable to cultivators at the Immortal Realm Level 3 upon birth, and their minds were remarkably precocious. Through trials and tribulations, they managed to establish themselves in the wilderness on their own.

"Don't worry about it. If they attack, we can run away if we can't beat them. We're used to it anyway."

Sister Shao Ying looked unconcerned. "By the way, in the battle just now, I saw that the power of your True Sun Fire had increased a bit. You should be close to breaking through, right?"

"Big sister has a great eye, she can even tell that," Shao Yang, the younger brother, responded with a thumbs up.

Upon hearing this, Shao Ying slapped him on the head without any hesitation and said in a fierce tone, "Nonsense, I can sense any movement you make because of the cultivation method that Master taught us together."

"Yes, yes, yes, my older sister is the best."

Shao Yang kept grinning foolishly, his fierce demeanor from just moments ago vanishing without a trace.

Then, as if remembering something, he changed the subject and brought up another matter.
"By the way, sis, a few days ago the Holy Son of the Flying Goose Sect broke into the Great Wilderness for training and I taught him a lesson."

"The Flying Goose Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Shao Ying's expression changed slightly. "Isn't that one of the major powers in the Western Divine Continent? The sect possesses Great Saint weapons and is quite on good terms with the Cangxuan Sect. How could you possibly have made an enemy of the Flying Goose Sect's Holy Son?"

Shao Yang replied honestly, "That guy had his eye on the cultivation technique that Master taught us, and he even said it was a Heavenly Venerable inheritance, something rarely seen in the world, so I had no choice but to defend myself. But who knew he was so weak, and the supernatural powers and techniques of the Flying Goose Sect weren't as powerful as I had imagined."

Despite growing up in the Great Wilderness, the siblings have gained a clear understanding of the overall structure of the cultivation world on Ziwei Star through their continuous contact with other cultivators over the years.

As for the master they mentioned, he appeared out of nowhere years ago and imparted cultivation scriptures to the two of them, but after spending some time together, he mysteriously disappeared, never leaving behind any name.

"Besides the ferocious beast clan and the Flying Goose Sect, are there any other enemies?" Sister Shao Ying asked expressionlessly.

"That's it, there should only be these two!" Shao Yang shrank his neck.

"Our master's identity is mysterious, beyond our comprehension. As for the martial arts techniques he passed down, anyone who dares to covet them should be killed without mercy!"

As she spoke, a cold glint flashed in Shao Ying's eyes.

At the same time, wisps of cold air suddenly emanated from her body, extremely yin and gentle, freezing everything and turning all life into death.

"Sis, what do you think we should do? I'll do whatever you say," Shao Yang said.

"The ferocious beast clan has lived in the Great Wilderness for generations. They have been killed too many times over the years and have long harbored deep hatred for us. As for the Flying Goose Sect, since the Holy Son has managed to escape from your clutches, they will probably gather more people to come here... In short, the Great Wilderness is no longer safe. We must leave this place."

"leave?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared on Shao Yang's face. "Then where do we go?"

Shao Ying said decisively, "Go to other divine continents on Ziwei Star, or even other inhabited planets. Besides, isn't the Star Trial Road about to open?"
