Chapter 303: The Stolen Merit Power

Looking at Yuan Qi, who was pretending to be profound, Wei Zhenjie felt a bit bored and didn't continue to ask anything.

Because, you couldn't ask anything.

Yuan Qi's mouth had always been tight. If one day you heard something from his mouth, it must be something he wanted to tell the world.

Wei Zhenjie stopped talking, but Yuan Qi spoke instead.

"Please do me a favor, Brother Wei. I want to go up to the Ascending Heaven Building to take a look."

Behind the office building of the Heaven Department stood an ancient stone building nine stories high, named Ascending Heaven Building.

The Ascending Heaven Building, the Observatory Tower, and the Light and Shadow Building were called the three ancient buildings of Central Street. Their history was so long that it could be traced back to ancient times.

Wei Zhenjie stared at Yuan Qi for a while, then smiled and said: "The moonlight is nice tonight. Let's go. I'll accompany you to the top of the building to enjoy the night view." After speaking, he got up and walked out.

Yuan Qi smiled and followed quickly.

With Wei Zhenjie leading the way, soon, the two came to the ninth floor of the Ascending Heaven Building.

The ninth floor of the Ascending Heaven Building was just a smooth round platform, without any cover around it.

Standing on the ninth floor of the Ascending Heaven Building, one could clearly see everything on the ninth floor of the Observatory Tower.

On the ninth floor of the Observatory Tower, besides a white jade stone table, there was half a snake body.

The brilliant light illuminating the center was precisely emitted by the white jade stone table.

As time passed, the light was weakening.

Wei Zhenjie's eyes were deep: "That snake demon could actually make the Zhou Tian Star Disk emit an anomaly. The demon race's means are enough."

Yuan Qi: "...... The Bai Ze lineage among the demon race has divination techniques that are no weaker than the human race."

Wei Zhenjie looked at Yuan Qi: "That snake demon rushed into the Observatory Tower before it died, triggering the anomaly of the Zhou Tian Star Disk, obviously to lure Hua Changxi into the building. What about you? You opened the door of convenience, also aiming at Hua Changxi?"

Yuan Qi smiled: "Those who have fate can all step into the Observatory Tower."

Seeing Yuan Qi start to say some ambiguous words again, Wei Zhenjie gave him a "you are really annoying" look.

"Brother Wei, Brother Yuan, you didn't notify me when there is fun."

The voice, which was both teasing and dissatisfied, exploded in his ears. Wei Zhenjie and Yuan Qi looked for the sound and saw Shi Yishi, who was panting and climbing up to the ninth floor of the Light and Shadow Building.

Seeing Shi Yishi, Wei Zhenjie raised his eyebrows: "Brother Shi has always lived in seclusion. Why are you in the mood to come out to watch the moonlight tonight?"

Shi Yishi chuckled: "Why do I need a reason to enjoy the moonlight? I came because I wanted to."

The ninth floor of the Light and Shadow Building was more luxurious than the Ascending Heaven Building and the Observatory Tower, at least there were stone tables and stone chairs.

Watching Shi Yishi sit on the stone chair with a smile, Yuan Qi didn't say anything, and sat cross-legged facing the Observatory Tower.

Seeing this, Wei Zhenjie's eyes flickered constantly. Yuan Qi and Shi Yishi appeared at the same time. It seems that something big is going to happen tonight!

Wei Zhenjie's gaze also cast towards the Observatory Tower, his expression drifting.

Meanwhile, inside the Star-Gazing Tower, Hua Changxi held the Fire Spirit Sword, observing her surroundings while cautiously approaching the light at the top of the tower.

The snake demon should have no attack power left, but she feared there might be other dangers within the Qintian Tower.

Fortunately, she encountered nothing all the way up.

Hua Changxi reached the eighth floor without obstruction, and in the stairwell leading from the eighth to the ninth floor, she saw the lower half of the snake demon's massive body.

The upper body of the snake demon had clearly already crawled onto the ninth floor.

"It's still not dead?"

Looking at the snake body that was still heaving slightly, Hua Changxi was shocked.

Just as Hua Changxi condensed Fire Spirit Divine Needles, preparing to finish off the snake demon completely, the snake demon's body suddenly flared with intense blood-red light; then, several golden threads flew out from within the blood-red light.

The moment the golden threads flew out, the snake demon's massive body shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Watching this scene, Hua Changxi's expression changed drastically, and she retreated in a hurry. Just as she thought this was the snake demon's desperate counterattack before death, those golden threads actually charged straight toward the white jade stone table on the ninth floor.

The moment the golden threads merged into the white jade stone table, the black night sky, where no stars were previously visible, lit up bit by bit, and immediately after, stars began to emerge one by one.

On the Dengtian Tower, Yuan Qi took out a pure black tortoise shell at some point. As soon as the stars appeared, he began to observe them from afar while chanting incantations and forming hand seals.

As his hands continuously formed and changed seals, wisps of spiritual light slowly appeared on the tortoise shell; these lights twisted and deformed, outlining a pattern.

"Who triggered the Zhou Tian Xing Chen?"

The emergence of the Zhou Tian Xing Chen startled countless people; many old monsters who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years and had been in seclusion were all awakened.

On the Dengtian Tower, Yuan Qi's hands forming the seals were moving so fast they had become afterimages, yet the embryonic form of the pattern on the tortoise shell had only been outlined a little bit.

Just as he gritted his teeth and exerted force again, the spiritual light on the tortoise shell suddenly scattered in a burst. At the same time, in the night sky, those stars that had suddenly emerged across the sky also hid themselves once more.

Looking at the tortoise shell that had turned pitch-black like ink again, Yuan Qi was so frustrated he wanted to smash it: "It was just a little bit away."

Wei Zhenjie, who was on the side, also felt some regret. Yuan Qi was clearly using the Zhou Tian Xing Chen to deduce something; unfortunately, the time the Zhou Tian Xing Chen appeared was too short.

On the Guangyin Tower, Shi Yishi was also frowning; the Four Spirits History Book had not appeared!

Meanwhile, inside the Star-Gazing Tower, after Hua Changxi saw the golden threads rush onto the ninth floor and confirmed that the snake demon was thoroughly dead, she hesitated for a moment before stepping onto the ninth floor, where she saw the sudden emergence and disappearance of the stars across the sky.

"Is this the Zhou Tian Xing Chen?"

She had thought the appearance of the Zhou Tian Xing Chen would be spectacular, but the starry sky just now was really just a few more stars.

Hua Changxi was somewhat disappointed, and then her gaze turned to the only white jade stone table on the ninth floor.

What were those golden threads?

Also, why did the snake demon pull such a stunt before dying?

Hua Changxi couldn't figure it out and walked up to the white jade stone table.

The surface of the white jade stone table was pure white and flawless, smooth as a mirror, with the five characters "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan" carved in the center of the top position.

"So this white jade stone table is called the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan."

"The few golden threads that flew out from the snake demon just now should be the medium to activate the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan."

Hua Changxi carefully circled the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan a few times. To explore whether the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan was dangerous, she directly threw the shriveled body of the snake demon onto it.

Seeing that the snake body didn't suffer any attacks, Hua Changxi pulled it down, then reached out her hand, wanting to probe if the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan had any other mechanisms.

The moment her hand touched the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan, a change occurred.

The stars across the sky that had just hidden themselves emerged once again. This time, the light emitted by the Zhou Tian Xing Chen was even more brilliant.

The night sky above her head instantly became brilliant, giving Hua Changxi a fright. She subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but at this moment, she discovered with horror that her hand seemed to be stuck to the white jade stone table, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull it away.

Not only was Hua Changxi startled, but Yuan Qi on the Dengtian Tower and Shi Yishi on the Guangyin Tower were also startled.

Fortunately, both of them regained their composure instantly; one took out the tortoise shell again to deduce, and the other watched the emergence of the Four Spirits World History Book with excitement.

In the vast and deep night sky, the stars were brilliant, and starlight condensed.

Starlight continuously descended; these lights gathered together, pouring down toward the location of the Star-Gazing Tower like a waterfall.

In the blink of an eye, the Star-Gazing Tower was submerged in starlight.

This scene was undoubtedly gorgeous and spectacular, but Hua Changxi had no heart to watch it; she was desperately trying to pull her hand back, so much so that she didn't even notice the Star-Gazing Tower rising and undergoing a transformation.

"Bang!"

Hua Changxi suddenly pulled her hand back violently, and failing to control her force, she fell to the ground. Only then did she notice that the stars in the sky above seemed to be within reach.

On the Guangyin Tower, Shi Yishi wrote with a trembling hand on the Four Spirits World History Book: "10th month, 28th day, 4991st year of Qiling, the Star-Gazing Tower appears in the world."

On the Dengtian Tower, Yuan Qi could no longer care about the pattern appearing on the tortoise shell; he stared with his mouth wide open, looking in astonishment at the brand-new Star-Gazing Tower that reached straight into the firmament.

At this moment, the Star-Gazing Tower was dotted with starlight and surrounded by nebulae, both gorgeous and dreamlike.

Yuan Qi had always thought that the change in the Star-Gazing Tower he had divined some time ago might help him deduce the trend of the situation in the Four Spirits World, but who would have thought...

What exactly did that Hua Changxi do to accumulate so much merit, directly activating the Star-Gazing Tower and making the real Star-Gazing Tower reappear in the human world?

This karmic debt is huge!

Just as Yuan Qi was happy yet burdened, Hua Changxi was only extremely uneasy, looking at her hand: "What was sucked out of me?"

Although she hadn't noticed any abnormalities in her body at the moment, she had truly felt that the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan had sucked something out of her body.

"Was it the golden threads?"
