Chapter 358: Nine Star Aligment!

　　Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

　　The dazzling sun hung high in the sky, its rays beaming radiantly down on the earth. The sky was clear and blue, as though it had been washed clean with water.

　　Atop a small mountain, there was an old tree brimming with vitality, its crown rich with broad green leaves. Perhaps it was due to the high noon’s temperature, but the tree looked rather listless this afternoon.

　　Bei Feng sat cross-legged under the shade of the huge tree. A blood-red light shone from three spots on his body, casting an eerie crimson glow over the mountain peak, causing the place to seem like a spot in hell.

　　The three apertures on Bei Feng’s body were expanding and contracting in a rising and falling motion, responding to each other as though they were breathing.

　　Bei Feng opened his eyes. An intense keen light flashed past his pupils before they quickly returned to their calm.

　　“I’ve finally returned to the Xiantian late stage!” [1]

　　Bei Feng clenched his fists and felt the power surging through his veins. In that moment, he felt like he could shatter a mountain with a single strike!

　　Of course, that was merely an illusion. Although his strength was great, it was nowhere near the point where he could do that. But if it was a small hill, it was still possible for him to cause it to collapse if he used all his might!

　　Back at the villa, Bei Feng enjoyed a peaceful meal with Mystic Moon and the rest. He’d finally broken through to the Xiantian late stage today, so he had no desire to continue cultivating immediately again.

　　Early the next day, Mystic Three brought an invitation letter to Bei Feng.

　　“Boss, this invitation was sent by the northwestern Wang Clan.”

　　Mystic Three respectfully handed the invitation letter to Bei Feng and stood to the side.

　　“Alright, you may go.”

　　Bei Feng nodded and waved his hand dismissively as he picked up the invitation letter.

　　“Interesting. I recall that I still owe that little lass some favors?” Bei Feng muttered to himself. Since his cultivation had more or less stagnated for now, it was a good time to go out for a walk.

　　The invitation was for a month later, so he still had a lot of time.

　　Bei Feng inserted his perception into his spatial ring and searched for a moment. A moment later, he furrowed his brows and slapped his forehead before turning around and walking to the vault-like room and retrieving a small box from it.

　　Four dark golden pills lay in the middle of the small box. As he opened the box up, there was a strange illusory image of a dragon and a tiger prancing about. But upon closer inspection, the pills were still as they were—pills. There wasn’t any dragon or tiger at all.

　　“I’ve promised to return Wang Yuyan something equivalent to the value of a stalk of the Reishi King. I don’t have any spirit herbs similar to that right now, but these Dragon Tiger Pills should be more suitable for them.”

　　Bei Feng considered seriously for a moment as the Dragon Tiger Pills in his hand disappeared.

　　Although the box had only been opened for a short moment, a strong pill fragrance had already spread out. In a short moment, a huge dog with three heads suddenly charged in from the side with great momentum.

　　“Wu, wu!”

　　Insatiable and Black Hole whined and stuck their tongues out cutely as they poked their heads past the door and looked at Bei Feng.

　　“Your noses are indeed sensitive. However, this isn’t anything nice to eat… Alright, you can eat this.”

　　Bei Feng shook his head helplessly. Insatiable and Black Hole were still as innocent as before. Whenever they smelt something good, they would come running with their tails wagging excitedly.

　　Bei Feng did not use much strength, lightly pushing Insatiable and Black Hole’s head back out of the door.

　　Seeing the two fellows pushing their heads back in shortly after again, Bei Feng sighed with exasperation as he took out a piece of meat the size of a fist from his spatial ring. After slicing it into three even pieces, he placed it before the Cerberus.

　　“Woof, woof!”

　　Insatiable and Black Hole wolfed down the meat excitedly, letting out light whimpering sounds as though they had not eaten enough, while Indigestion simply looked at them mutely.

　　Bei Feng laughed loudly and lightly rapped the two fellows on the forehead.

　　“Be careful not to stuff yourself to death!”

　　Bei Feng shook his head. Why wouldn’t those two idiots look at their big brother Indigestion? Didn’t they see that fellow remaining silent? They already had to endure the large amounts of energy from the piece of meat. If they still ate some more, it would be a wonder if they weren’t stuffed to death!

　　“Alright, roll to the side. You’re so fat already and you still want to eat!”

　　Bei Feng shook his head speechlessly as he watched the Cerberus running lightly to the yard and capering about playfully.

　　Seeing the scratches on the ground left by the claws of the huge beast, Bei Feng could not help but beat his chest with a bitter smile on his face. That fellow’s size had become larger and larger and just its height alone had reached four meters. Its body was also over eight meters long!

　　By his estimation, if the Cerberus advanced by another grade, its body would grow even larger. At that time, he would probably have to let them stay outside of the villa. This place was definitely unable to withstand the destructive might of that huge fellow!

　　Bei Feng led an extremely leisurely life during this period of time. When he had nothing to do, he would cultivate a little and practice his martial techniques. Apart from that, he would accompany Mystic Moon and plant peach trees with her on the mountain.

　　Numerous tiny peach trees were planted personally by Bei Feng and Mystic Moon with the hopes of turning the entire mountain into a sea of peach blossoms.

　　Throughout the entire process, they behaved exactly like regular people, using a shovel to dig a hole and planting the seedlings in manually.

　　Bei Feng carried a water bucket in his hands and watered each seedling carefully.

　　“Yue’er, why don’t we directly plant the mature peach trees? That way, we’ll already be able to see the sea of peach blossoms next year. I don’t even know how many years it would take for these little seedlings to reach maturity!” Bei Feng asked with some confusion.

　　The two of them behaved like a pair of newly wed couple, doing everything together in this period of time. Bei Feng had gotten so comfortable with Mystic Moon that even his form of address for her had changed.

　　Mystic Moon snuggled deeper into Bei Feng’s embrace and said with a cheeky light smile, “For people like us, is there any difference between one year and a few years? Our lifespans are much longer than the average people’s anyway. In any case, it’s a really enjoyable thing to watch these peach trees grow taller slowly everyday until their peach blossoms cover the entire mountain!”

　　Bei Feng nodded his head suavely in response. With their talent and his resources, they would definitely be able to cultivate to a realm that was unimaginable to the people of this world if given enough time. A few years was perhaps really not worth much.

　　For some reason, Bei Feng kept having a bad feeling recently as if something was going to happen. He committed the feeling to his heart and raised his alertness. This kind of feeling was a type of sixth sense, and Bei Feng trusted his intuition.

　　Bei Feng had been spreading his mental power to cover a vast area of 120 meters around him for the past few days, but nothing special had happened. Still, he could feel that the repressive feeling of a coming storm was becoming heavier and heavier!

　　All of a sudden, Bei Feng felt his vision darkening. Lifting his head to the sky, he saw a dark shadow creeping over the sun!

　　The black shadow was very fast and in just a few seconds, it’d occupied the entire sun!

　　Suddenly, he recalled the news he’d seen on the TV a month ago. This was the once a millennia solar eclipse predicted by astronomers!

　　But what these experts did not know was that nine stars had lined up together this time!

　　And these nine stars were all Extreme Yang and Extreme Yin stars! And the mass of each of those star was much greater than the Extreme Yang and Extreme Yin stars on Earth’s solar system!

　　The nine stars shone their rays at each other before their rays converged like a magnifying glass, reflecting onto Earth!

　　The sky completely turned black, and the strange feeling in Bei Feng’s heart intensified drastically!

　　Something was wrong; Mystic Moon’s body was suddenly trembling violently!

　　“Yue’er, what’s wrong with you?!”

　　Mystic Moon’s head remained lowered towards the ground, as though she could not hear Bei Feng’s words.

　　“This is?!”

　　Numerous black patterns had extended from Mystic Moon’s shoulders all the way down to her pale hands.

　　“Ha… HA-HA!”

　　Mystic Moon suddenly gave a deep laugh, her voice growing louder and louder until it spreaded through the entire mountain peak!

　　“Peng!”

　　A devilish looking black peach blossom suddenly blossomed on Mystic Moon’s back. Along with its appearance, countless pure, black silky pollen-like stuff which seemed to have originated from the source of evil burst into the air, spreading through the area around the black peach blossom!
