Chapter 1291: Major Historical Event!

Translated by: Hypersheep325

Edited by: Michyrr

Unlike any other kind of weather phenomena from the past, this storm was too dreadful, too violent. This was the power of nature, inspiring terror in all who saw it!

Whoosh!

As the torrential rains poured down, within the Secretariat Advisor Residence, a young and handsome white-robed Confucian peered his head out and looked up at the sky with an uneasy look on his face.

“Heavenly phenomena can be seen whenever anything strange is going on! But just what’s the cause?” Li Junxian muttered to himself.

There was nothing normal about the phenomena in the sky. The long history of the Confucian Sect meant that it held many records and books. Such heavenly phenomena were extremely rare, and the last time a similar event occurred was more than one thousand years ago. This was during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, when he accepted Dong Zhongshu’s advice and chose to dismiss the one hundred schools and accept only Confucianism1. This was what it meant when it was said that the heavens and man were connected. When a major event took place in the human world, the world displayed a response.

The Imperial Palace was also swept up in the storms, and in the very center of the palace, a silver-robed eunuch who seemed like a reincarnation of the Maitreya Buddha looked worriedly at the sky.

“Heavenly phenomena! This bodes ill!”

Gao Lishi grasped his horsetail whisk as he gazed at the pitch-black sky, his brow creased in worry as one blazing lightning bolt after another flashed by.

“Hahaha, let him be! Yuanyi, when dynasties change, omens of dragons and snakes will appear, and times of great chaos are certain to bring about great chances. But this is a sign of a golden age! Just why are you so worried?!”

Loud laughter came from within the hall. The soft sounds of coughing had just moments ago been resounding endlessly from the hall, but now, the owner of this voice was extremely excited and somewhat unable to suppress their joy.

But at this moment, no one was more worried than the two people standing nearest to Wang Chong’s study, Cheng Sanyuan and Su Shixuan.

“What’s going on here?”

Su Shixuan and Cheng Sanyuan raised their heads and paled. Countless thunderstorms had appeared over the capital over the many years, but none of them had ever been like this. Not only that, the moment the weather changed, they had sensed an enormous pressure erupting from Wang Chong’s study.

At this moment, they felt like tiny ants confronting the vast might of the heavens, and they wanted to kneel down in fear. Almost instinctively, all of them sensed that these phenomena were connected to Wang Chong.

“Look over there!” Cheng Sanyuan called out, pointing upward.

Following Cheng Sanyuan’s finger, the rest of them saw that right above the Wang Family Residence, precisely over Wang Chong’s study, the clouds and wind had stirred into what was clearly a massive vortex. If one looked carefully, this vortex seemed to be the center of the storm, all the lightning arising from it.

Cheng Sanyuan and Su Shixuan glanced at each other, deep shock in their eyes.

As wind and lightning reigned outside, within the study, Wang Chong seemed to sense nothing, apparently completely forgetting about the outside world. After writing the words ‘Might Makes Right’, Wang Chong had continued to write.
