Description:
On May 3, 1986, NASA attempted to launch a new weather satellite called GOES-G for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, but the rocket malfunctioned in mid-air. <br/><br/>About a minute after it lifted off from Cape Canaveral, lightning struck the Delta rocket and created a short circuit. This caused the rocket's main engine to shut down prematurely. It started tumbling around in the sky with some of its strap-on boosters still firing. NASA sent the rocket a command to self-destruct, and it exploded above the Atlantic Ocean. They did this to minimize the dangers of having the entire rocket crash back down to Earth. This launch failure was especially disheartening for NASA, because it was the first launch since the Challenger disaster three months earlier. Investigators found that this Delta rocket had a lot of problems that were known before the launch, especially with the wiring. After the accident, launch companies across the country changed the way they wired their rockets' electronics.

Only the disciple Xu Yang, the founder of the mountain, has been in the Qi refining period. In order to break through his cultivation base and ascend as soon as possible, Xu Yang retreated for thousands of years. Unexpectedly, when he left the gate, the realm of comprehension had already declined, and there were only three or five disciples left in the Misty Sky Sect. Seeing that the sect was about to be wiped out, Xu Yang repelled the powerful enemy and vowed to lead the Misty Sky Sect back to its peak! With the expansion of Tianlanzong’s power, the truth of Xu Yang’s stagnant cultivation was revealed step by step. For thousands of years, a secret that penetrated the three realms of humans, demons, and immortals was also revealed to everyone! Does one thought become a god, or one thought becomes a demon? The life and death of the world are in the palm of Xu Yang!<br/>")
