Chapter 436

After lingering in the Taoist school for a period of time, although he had done some useless work at first, it was not without gains after all. As the saying goes, "after passing through the dark willows and bright flowers, there is another village"; no one expected that the true clue to the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon was hidden on Facing Xiaomeng.

This made Su Xuan feel both surprised and that it was within reason.

In any case, Facing Xiaomeng was an important character in the original story, and given the nature of the creators, the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon would only be linked to important characters. Although Qingxuan had a very cool name, strictly speaking, he was just a bit player—what kind of trash was he?

Bringing the map back to the Yin-Yang School, Su Xuan found the Moon Goddess immediately.

He handed the task of finding the Wei State's Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon to the Moon Goddess.

The reason he gave it to the Moon Goddess was, first, because after the last mission, Yan Fei had gone into seclusion, and Su Xuan really felt bad about disturbing her cultivation; second, because the Moon Goddess had lost in the last confrontation and had found the bronze box of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon later than Yan Fei, so she was holding back a fire in her heart and wanted to surpass Yan Fei in other areas.

Thus, Su Xuan didn't mind giving her another chance.

After obtaining the map, the Moon Goddess left.

Su Xuan trusted her efficiency; he figured it wouldn't be long before the Moon Goddess found the last piece of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon.

The Seven Luminaries hide mysteries; Su Xuan was very curious: when the seven parts of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon were gathered, what would their true secret be?

Time flowed by slowly.

Su Xuan had been cultivating with single-minded devotion during this time.

The Moon Goddess was very fast.

Perhaps because she had already had the experience of following a map once before, and because the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon she was looking for this time belonged to the Wei State—whose former territory was adjacent to the Qin State, with no great distance between them—the Moon Goddess did not spend much time finding the object hidden in the map.

As she brought back the final bronze box.

Su Xuan had no heart left for cultivation; he immediately gave it up, picked up the last bronze box, and began to try to crack the secret within.

The Moon Goddess was actually also very curious about the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon; after all, this secret had been circulating in the world for thousands of years, not to mention that the previous leader of the Yin-Yang School, Donghuang Taiyi, had once expressed an intention to seek it.

But in the end, she did not rashly propose to watch Su Xuan crack the secret of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon.

With a hint of curiosity, she withdrew.

In the spacious quiet room, only Su Xuan was left, appearing incomparably silent.

Six bronze boxes were placed in front of Su Xuan. The jade pendant that had been placed next to the six boxes had been returned to Jing Ni the moment he returned from the Taoist school; now, it was replaced by the seventh bronze box.

Unfortunately, even with the seven boxes placed together, there was no chemical reaction, such as echoing each other or releasing strange powers simultaneously.

To truly solve the secret of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon, he still had to open the boxes.

Fortunately, an important object for cracking the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon had long since fallen into the hands of the Yin-Yang School.

With a flip of his hand, a small box appeared in Su Xuan's palm.

This was... the Phantom Sound Box!

As a supreme treasure of the Yin-Yang School, the Phantom Sound Box held an extraordinary status. It contained thousands of musical melodies, which could stir the listener's emotional changes. If one heard the wrong melody, they could suffer from qi deviation; conversely, if one was lucky, their cultivation could advance greatly.

After the Phantom Sound Box first fell into Su Xuan's hands, he had studied it, and eventually, he even saw a part of Mozi's soul split inside the box, learning four words from the soul's mouth.

Namely—"The Azure Dragon is ominous"!

Mozi believed that a brilliant genius would surely appear in the Mohist school in the future, who would succeed as the Mohist leader and penetrate the mysteries of the Phantom Sound Box, so he left a part of his image behind to inform the person of certain things.

To let the person stop certain people from collecting the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon.

It must be said that Mozi's original intention was good. Even though the affairs of later generations should be handled by later generations, since Mozi had sensed certain secrets, he could not ignore them. Thus, he left a message for his descendants, hoping that they could prevent the disaster from appearing to avoid huge hidden dangers in the future.

Unfortunately, even Mozi was not a god; he could not calculate everything in the future.

Well, one couldn't say that either. In the original story, he might have calculated it, which was why Jing Tianming, the protagonist, became the Mohist leader.

But in this world, because there was an extra Su Xuan, there were some variables, so much so that many of Mozi's plans came to nothing.

The Phantom Sound Box fell into the hands of the Yin-Yang School and was cracked by Su Xuan. The image he left behind was not seen by the Mohists; the first to see it was, instead, Su Xuan.

It was also because he said "The Azure Dragon is ominous" that Su Xuan became increasingly interested in the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon.

Of course, the main reason was that this world was too small, and Su Xuan's speed of becoming stronger was too fast. With the growth of his strength, there were not many things left that were truly worth his interest.

As it happened, the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon was one of them.

Su Xuan had studied the Phantom Sound Box for a long time that day and was no stranger to it. Besides his research, three hundred years ago, the Yin-Yang School had also pursued the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon for a long time. Su Xuan was not completely ignorant of it; the internal records of the Yin-Yang School contained quite a lot of information about the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon.

Even though the Yin-Yang School at that time did not obtain the bronze boxes, they had the Phantom Sound Box in their hands, and they still penetrated some of its mysteries.

The melodies in the Phantom Sound Box seemed to have no pattern, but in fact, under certain circumstances, there were patterns to be found.

Su Xuan flicked his sleeves, and in an instant, shimmering starlight appeared in mid-air. Stars emerged, and then the light shone onto the Phantom Sound Box. With the different star patterns, the melodies played by the Phantom Sound Box were also different.

So, how should one go about finding the melodies related to the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon?

Very simple!

The star patterns representing the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon were evolved by Su Xuan one by one. Starlight fell, landing on the Phantom Sound Box, and seeped into it through the tiny gaps, as if triggering some hidden mechanisms within, and unique melodies suddenly rang out.

In the blink of an eye, Su Xuan evolved seven star charts, and seven melodies were found by him one after another.

Next, it was time to follow the information hidden in these melodies to start decrypting.
