Journey to the End of the Night Chapter 1639 - 991: Six Senses

Until the clear scale stone reverts to the color of Chaos, the Seven-Colored Radiant Light gradually dims and extinguishes.
A thick layer of white snow grows anew on the smooth, translucent surface of the scale stone, covering the stone body.
The celestial anomalies between heaven and earth then disappear, and the heavy clouds disperse.
The heavenly light spills over the altar, with only a faint divine glow lingering around Baili An, resembling the years of stars surrounding him.
The hand placed on the scale stone withdraws, and Baili An’s expression shows slight confusion as he gently rubs his brow.
He only feels that the six awakened talisman spirits have no sense of unfamiliarity or rejection with his body, as if they have integrated into his bones.
The aura carries a... unspoken closeness and tranquility.
And that aura of closeness and tranquility seems to contain purification power, dissolving and cleansing the Karma Barrier aura overflowing from Baili An’s body.
The cut at the neck caused by the identification seal also merges, reasserting the seal.
Although Baili An has never truly understood talisman spirits, he can clearly perceive the lack of talismanic intent within himself.
Those six talisman spirits are definitely not originating from himself, but seem more like a kind gift from the scale stone.
It’s as if they have been waiting here for years, completing some kind of mission, delivering those six divine talismans to him.
This dull and gloomy scale stone seems to have exhausted its Spiritual Power in an instant, and for a brief period of years, it is feared it can no longer help the people in Shifang City awaken their talisman spirits.
Even though awakening six divine talismans at once, for Shifang City, is definitely worthwhile even if for ten thousand years, people in the city do not awaken talisman spirits.
But unfortunately, Baili An is not from Shifang City, and should an outsider take away Shifang City’s most precious divine talismans.
This would mean that for thousands of years, no one in Shifang City can awaken a talisman spirit, which would undeniably be an extremely frightening and unacceptable fact.
On the altar, Fang You the City Lord’s face is indescribably heavy and unsightly; if not for his apprehension of the half-jade Baili An holds, and his reluctance to offend someone from the Immortal World.
Today’s incident might have been enough for him to directly take action to capture and subdue Baili An, forcibly strip his divine talismans from his body, regaining those six divine talismans to find peace.
Atop Qinglan Cold Tower, the high air is shrouded in thin cold clouds; behind the clouds hangs a faint gray sun, tiredly fixed in the sky.
Jiushijiu sits beside the cold railing between the tower floors, a branch of cold plum clutched between her fingers, her cold white attire making her appear more like snow and jade, chill to the extreme.
Despite the chaos on the altar due to the color anomaly, when she looks down over the mortal world, her gaze remains serene and tranquil.
Whether it’s a lack of concern or living too transparently and seeing through everything, it seems as though nothing in this world could unsettle her.
She sighs softly and turns back into the cold tower, though the door connecting the mortal world with the cold tower is of a void-like abyssal hue.
The deep abyssal blue-black color swallows her slender lonely figure.
As space shifts and aura flows, she walks into a massive space.
That space seems unrestricted by any laws, gazing upwards reveals a boundless world of abyssal blue and deep black.
Boundless surroundings and within the center of this space stands a natural gigantic crystal without any seams or joints.
Beneath the crystal lies a condensed dark blue void abyss, faintly emitting the eerie sounds of sharp metallic scraping and thunderous lightning.
The surface of the gigantic crystal is infused with powerful talismanic intent, so strong it’s visible to the naked eye, as if golden glowing patterns are etched upon the crystal surface.
Those patterns flow like water, in the deep blue crystal’s shimmering reflection, resembling the integration of sunset and ocean waters into the great rivers and Daze, transformed into thousands of delicate streams of light.
Spreading over the black world ground, dispersing like tributaries into endless space.
It’s a rare spectacle in the mortal world, and should ordinary people stumble upon this space, they would undoubtedly feel a sense of shock and terror of accidentally stepping into an otherworldly realm, as if crushed by a whale-like presence.
No one knows where the crystal’s tributaries disperse to, Jiushijiu lowers her eyes and approaches the gigantic crystal, finding a person sealed within its ice-blue heart.
Precisely, a young woman.
Her eyes are peacefully closed, resembling an insect trapped in a deathly slumber, solidified within ice-blue amber.
Yet the flowing aura around her doesn’t have the density of a solid entity, more akin to liquid of extreme density.
The woman quietly slumbers, her long black seaweed-like hair gently floating behind her, a faintly transparent shackle hovering around her body.
Her face is pale, as if it were a corpse freshly dug out from an icy wasteland, devoid of any vitality.
Between her stark white facial skin, intricate ancient purple runes imprinted like profound secrets, with the icy blue giant crystal gilded, giving off an exceedingly enchanting refinement.
If Baili An were present in this space, he would surely recognize the origin of the purple runes scattered across the woman’s skin.
At that time, when heavily injured by Golden Immortal Bai Yang, successfully intercepting the assassin Half Puppet from Shifang City, was with the purple crystal related to her talisman power system.
This is indeed the ’Witch Plague’ that spreads rampantly, destroying commands within the Mechanical Puppets.
However, the intensity of Witch Plague on this woman is evidently thousands of times greater than that on the normally infected Mechanical Puppets.
