Chapter 2048: Shock of Astral Sect Translator: Legge

In Heaven Immortal Cold Light’s line of sight, a gigantic starlight beam burst forth from the stargazing platform and soared into the skies.

Above the firmaments, millions of stars shone and endless starlight scattered down, connecting to the starlight beam.

The starlight beam could no longer be measured using a height of ten feet.

The beam of light seemed to have already connected to Heaven and Earth and the stars!

“How is this possible?”

“What exactly happened?”

Heaven Immortal Cold Light shrugged his head and tried his best to blink.

In fact, he even thought that everything before him was his imagination.

On the stargazing platform.

As the progenitor of this violent reaction, Su Zimo was shocked as well.

He tried his best to control himself and was careful, thinking that he could keep a low profile and not attract attention.

However, he had not expected that by some freak coincidence, the Green Lotus bloodline would trigger such a violent reaction from the stargazing platform!

Actually, the reason why the stargazing platform had such a strong reaction was not only because of the Green Lotus bloodline, but also because of the two divine stones in Su Zimo’s eyes, Illumination and Nether Glow.

After the starlight beam was released, Su Zimo knew that the commotion this time round was way too great.

He was anxious as well.

If the starlight beam did not disappear, it would definitely cause a huge stir.

He definitely could not stay in Astral Sect any longer.

Right then, a commotion happened in Su Zimo’s consciousness.

The Green Lotus Essence Spirit wielded the Trinity Auspicious Jade and sat on the Creation Lotus Platform the entire time.

At that moment, the Trinity Auspicious Jade in the hands of the Green Lotus Essence Spirit seemed to have sensed something and trembled slightly.

Immediately after, the endless starlight that surrounded him surged into his consciousness through the top of his head as though it had a place to go.

The Trinity Auspicious Jade left the palm of the Green Lotus Essence Spirit and arrived in midair above the consciousness, trembling slightly.

Three dull beads were embedded on the auspicious cloud at the front of the Trinity Auspicious Jade.

Right in front of the Green Lotus Essence Spirit, the endless starlight surged into one of the three beads.

The bead began to glow faintly.

If one focused their attention, they could vaguely see that there seemed to be some starlight floating in the bead like thin stars.

Su Zimo was dumbfounded.

According to the inheritance memories of the Creation Green Lotus, the three beads on the Trinity Auspicious Jade’s head indeed had a powerful background—they were the Infinite Beads.

The three beads were condensed from the essence of the sun, moon and stars in the chaos and corresponded to heaven, earth and man. They were blessed by the heavens and coexisted with the Dao.

The term trinity in the Trinity Auspicious Jade referred to the three Infinite Beads.

Although Su Zimo knew the origin of the three Infinite Beads, he had yet to discover how to activate them, let alone how to use them.

The sudden change caused a thought to flash through Su Zimo’s mind.

If the three Infinite Beads were condensed from the essence of the sun, moon and stars, there was a high chance that the bead that absorbed the starlight earlier on was a Star Bead.

Su Zimo had a hunch that he might have unintentionally discovered another mysterious aspect of the Trinity Auspicious Jade.

But now was not the time to study that treasure.

He was on the stargazing platform and had caused such a huge commotion. The most important thing was how he could escape unscathed without attracting much attention.

Initially, Su Zimo intended to take advantage of the chaos to leave.

But now, the starlight around him was completely absorbed by one of the Infinite Beads on the Trinity Auspicious Jade and there were no more phenomenons—he could attempt to bluff his way through.

…

On the other side.

Heaven Immortal Cold Light shrugged his head and tried his best to stay awake. When he opened his eyes again, he was stunned on the spot with his mouth agape in a daze.

The resplendent starlight beam from earlier on had already vanished.

It was as though everything he saw earlier was just his imagination.

Heaven Immortal Cold Light frowned.

There was only a drunkard left on the stargazing platform, slumped on the spot. His wine jar was shattered and he was covered in wine. He had a dazed expression, as though he was scared out of his wits.

The other two Heaven Immortals snapped out of their stupor and asked instinctively, “What’s going on? What happened just now?”

“I don’t know,”

Heaven Immortal Cold Light shook his head—he did not know how to explain or describe it.

“Could it be related to this person?”

Heaven Immortal Cold Light glared at the drunk man on the stargazing platform for a long time. His spirit consciousness scanned him a few times but could not find anything unusual.

This drunkard was an ordinary Grade 1 Earth Immortal.

In that short period of time, the other cultivators gradually recovered as well.

The Shangguan clansmen who fell around the stargazing platform were in a mess. By the time they recovered, the phenomenon from earlier on had already vanished.

Everyone did not know what happened at all and merely felt a ball of light beside them before they were sent flying.

“What’s going on?!”

“I don’t know. Earlier on, something seemed to have exploded on the stargazing platform and a huge ball of light burst forth. It hurt my eyes and I couldn’t see anything clearly.”

A commotion broke out in the crowd.

Shangguan Qian frowned deeply as she fixed her gaze on the drunkard on the stargazing platform, deep in thought.

Others did not know what happened at that moment.

However, she could clearly sense that the terrifying power and resplendent starlight should have burst forth from the drunkard’s body!

However, this drunkard looked extremely ordinary—how could he cause such a huge reaction from the stargazing platform?

“Junior Sister Shangguan, how are you?”

Right then, a warm voice sounded.

Zuo Zhuxuan came to her side and reached out to help her up gently.

“I’m fine,”

Shangguan Qian shook her head and replied distractedly.

Her attention was still on that drunkard on the stargazing platform.

On the other side, Xie Tianfeng and Lin Ming were further away. They had just rushed over to curry favor with Shangguan Qian but Zuo Zhuxuan beat them to it.

Lin Ming said in a deep voice, “Junior Sister Shangguan, did that drunkard cause a commotion and actually injured you? I’ll help you teach him a lesson!”

“I’ll go too!”

Xie Tianfeng added, “I’ve long disliked that drunkard!”

Actually, the two of them merely wanted to impress Shangguan Qian and find a random scapegoat to vent her anger.

However, even they did not know that they were right by accident.

Right then, figures rose from Astral Sect!

Before long, dozens of figures rushed over at lightning speed. Most of them were old and aged.

In the blink of an eye, many old men arrived above the mountain gate.

Their leader had a dignified bearing and gray hair. Wielding a horsetail whip, his eyes were bright and sharp as he exuded a powerful aura.

It was the Sect Master of Astral Sect, a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal, Astral Rain.

The commotion of the stargazing platform caused a stir in Astral Sect and countless elders and Grand Elders who were in seclusion came out!
