Chapter 589: Chapter 244: Marketplace Conversation, Return to Silent Calamity Island

It now hung of its own accord before her chest, so white it was nearly blinding.

’What was that effect called, the one that makes things look bigger?’

Xiao Chen couldn’t recall it at that moment.

The two of them arrived at the center of the island. There was only an hour until Midnight, which was also the time to test if the Witchcraft Artifact was truly effective.

If the Moon Sacrifice Ceremony was successful, the Moon Eclipse Spell would become completely controllable from then on.

For Su Li, this meant a new lease on life.

Even as a Nascent Soul True Monarch, she couldn’t help the way her heart quickened, and she subconsciously bit her red lip.

"Don’t be nervous!"

Xiao Chen noticed her anxiety and said reassuringly, "Just follow the steps. It’ll definitely be a success."

But mere words of comfort were clearly not enough.

At a time like this, he had to find a way to distract her.

Xiao Chen thought for a moment. For some reason, the idea of the Lantern Festival immediately made him think of fireworks.

"Su Li, look up!"

With a wave of his hand, tens of thousands of Profound Fire Crows silently appeared before them.

Immediately after, guided by his Divine Sense, they skillfully split into ten groups and shot up into the sky.

CRACKLE!

Suddenly, fireworks bloomed one after another across the sky.

There was the gray-green glow of Poison Crow Black Fire, the orange-red of Luotian True Fire, and even some Profound Fire Crows that simply detonated, scattering into a shower of sparks.

Spiritual Qi surged, the collisions creating even more sparks that rained down.

In Su Li’s eyes, the entire sky had suddenly come alive.

To be fair, for a Nascent Soul True Monarch, mere Tier Two Profound Fire Crows were at best a simple little trick.

But this simple little trick made the corners of her lips curl up uncontrollably.

In a daze, she looked at Xiao Chen, who was controlling the Magic.

For some reason, her nervous heartbeat didn’t calm down; instead, it grew even more rapid.

"Let’s do it together!"

Su Li smiled and raised her hand. Instantly, tens of thousands of fireballs rose up and exploded thunderously in the sky.

Each fireball turned into ten smaller ones, which then exploded a second time, forming an even more brilliant, large-scale firework display.

However, she used a bit too much force.

A powerful Spiritual Qi Tide instantly swept across a hundred-mile radius. Even the nearby Snow Leaf Grass bent over, trembling.

The intense impact of Spiritual Qi even made Xiao Chen feel a tightness in his chest.

He drew in a sharp breath.

’So annoying. I really need to hurry up and break through to the Nascent Soul realm.’

Fortunately, after all that commotion, Su Li was indeed no longer nervous.

Before they knew it, Midnight had arrived.

A beam of moonlight, almost corporeal, descended, only to be blocked by the Witchcraft Artifact held overhead.

With this buffer, the Lunar Eclipse that had once caused Su Li so much suffering was transformed into a sacrificial ritual for receiving her bloodline inheritance.

"Hm?"

Xiao Chen looked down at the soft body that had crashed into his arms. ’The Witchcraft Artifact isn’t working?’

’That can’t be right.’

’The Mandala Flowers haven’t appeared, have they?’

"The Witchcraft Artifact... I haven’t fully mastered it yet."

Su Li’s face flushed red. "Maybe there wasn’t enough time to prepare, so it didn’t take full effect."

That was understandable. A day and a half was indeed too short.

Xiao Chen wrapped his arms around her. Since things were this way, he didn’t mind watching the inheritance visions one more time.

The main contents of this Lunar Eclipse’s vision were the decline of the Witch Race and a prophecy from the last High Priest.

The former was somewhat similar to the case of the Celestial Star Sect, as both mentioned a world-altering cataclysm.

In short, the entire environment had suddenly worsened, making it difficult for them to adapt.

The latter mentioned that on a certain day in the future, the reincarnation of a Celestial Witch would appear to revitalize the Witch Race.

It expressed the hope that the surviving members of the Moon Witch Race, especially the Saintess, could find the Celestial Witch’s reincarnation in time and follow him to restore the Witch Race.

’How should I put this... it sounds completely unreliable.’

Xiao Chen finally understood why the Moon Witch Race couldn’t make it.

’Spouting all this useless nonsense during such an important ritual... It would’ve been far more practical to pass down some Cultivation Insights.’
