Chapter 519

As the aura Su Xuan sensed through the Fusang Divine Tree became richer,

On this day, after the Mirage sailed to a certain sea area, it was seen to be foggy.

This was actually a sea area shrouded in fog.

If it were a normal world, although one would encounter various accidents in the sea, such as storms, tsunamis, and fog, Su Xuan wouldn't care much, but this world was not very normal.

In this world, even if there were no immortal gods in the present age, there were immortal gods in the ancient era. The existence of immortal gods made this world destined not to be an ordinary world. Their methods were profound, and it was difficult to speculate about them using common sense.

Anyway, such a world was not governed by Newton, and it was difficult to talk about science.

The fog was thick, shrouding the entire sea area. Even though the Mirage was operated by the Mohist people and could rely on the direction Su Xuan pointed to go on the correct path,

Under these circumstances, Su Xuan still ordered the Mohist people to stop driving the Mirage temporarily and let it anchor in the sea.

"Are you planning to wait for the fog to clear?"

Jing Ke, while ordering the Mohist people to stop the Mirage temporarily, came to the atrium of the Mirage and looked at Su Xuan, who was sitting under the Fusang Divine Tree, and asked calmly.

"This fog is so thick; it will probably take a long time to clear!"

To be honest, having been at sea for so long, Jing Ke actually missed his family quite a bit.

Even though the little brat at home was very naughty, he only felt that way when he was by his side. Now that he was not by his side, he missed him a little. He didn't know if his junior sister had taken him to Xianyang and if he was studying well under Sect Master Funi.

Jing Ke thought to himself.

He could also understand why Su Xuan let the Mirage stop temporarily.

The fog was thick. Even if Su Xuan had his own ways to point out the direction, no one could say what existed in the sea area ahead. If they marched rashly, even if they deviated slightly from the direction, the time wasted would undoubtedly be more for the whole.

Therefore, it was better to wait for a while.

"I am waiting for the arrival of night!"

Su Xuan explained to Jing Ke.

"Waiting for the arrival of night?" Jing Ke looked at Su Xuan in confusion.

Zi Nu, Duanmu Rong, and others also looked at Su Xuan curiously.

Su Xuan felt the doubtful gazes of everyone and asked them a question: "When a ship sails in the sea without a compass, or because of the magnetic field, the compass and the south-pointing chariot cannot play any role, how should one distinguish the direction?"

Everyone didn't know what a compass was, but everyone knew about the south-pointing chariot.

Legend has it that in the Battle of Zhuolu, Chi You trapped the Yellow Emperor's army with fog. In the end, it was the Yellow Emperor who built the south-pointing chariot in the predicament, thus distinguishing the correct direction and finding a way out.

Hearing this question, everyone began to think.

Lady Yan and Zi Nu answered almost in unison, "The stars!"

"Not bad, it is indeed the stars!"

Su Xuan was not surprised that Lady Yan and Zi Nu could guess this. He continued, "Don't forget what we are looking for on this voyage!"

Jing Ke suddenly realized and sighed in his heart, "Yes, we are looking for the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon, and the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon, in astronomy, refers precisely to the stars in the sky."

Su Xuan said in a subtle tone, "Calculating the time, from the time we went to sea to now, it has taken nearly a month. Now, it is midsummer!"

Except for Lady Yan, who saw the words "Flying Dragon in the Sky" on the turtle shell with the sea map that Su Xuan showed her, the others didn't understand what this meant.

"What about midsummer?"

Jing Ke asked this question directly.

"Nine-Five, Flying Dragon in the Sky, it is advantageous to see the Great Man!"

"The dragon represents the emperor. In rumors, it is said that mastering the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon means mastering the world. If interpreted as the supreme dignity of the emperor and the power to influence the world, then this sentence from the I Ching can be understood: when the Nine-Five Flying Dragon is in the sky, one can see that supreme power."

"And in the star signs of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon, there is exactly the saying of 'Flying Dragon in the Sky'!"

"This star sign corresponds to midsummer!"

The secret of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon was cracked by Su Xuan alone. Everyone present knew nothing about it, and only Lady Yan knew a hint of it. Even though Su Xuan chattered a lot at this moment, everyone was still half-understanding.

Jing Ke asked suspiciously, "Even if it is midsummer now and one can see the star sign of 'Flying Dragon in the Sky,' the entire sea area is shrouded in thick fog now. Even if it is night, one cannot see the so-called stars, right?"

Unlike many people who speculated about the intention of Su Xuan's words, Jing Ke only liked to play for real.

"Indeed, under normal circumstances, one cannot see the stars, so we must let this fog disperse temporarily!"

Hearing these words, Jing Ke first thought of the battle in Many Loulan.

In that battle, Su Xuan showed earth-shattering power, riding a dragon to fight, and every gesture released terrifying power. If Su Xuan went all out, he might really be able to disperse part of this fog, and then see the stars in the night sky and grasp the correct direction.

Jing Ke thought so.

In the following time, because the Mirage had stopped sailing, everyone rested a little and chatted occasionally to relieve the loneliness and boredom of the journey.

Time passed, and night fell in the blink of an eye.

The lights on the Mirage were lit one after another. Even if the lights were lit, they only illuminated part of the area inside the Mirage. Looking at the surrounding sea, it was pitch black, and thick fog shrouded left and right. No one knew what was in the fog or what the distant sea area looked like, which brought a burst of eerie and terrifying feelings.

However, everyone had no fear. On the contrary, after night fell, they all gathered in the atrium of the Mirage, looking at Su Xuan from afar.

Su Xuan was still sitting cross-legged under the Fusang Divine Tree.

In front of him, besides the turtle shell engraved with the sea map, there were seven bronze boxes.

The bronze boxes seemed to be objects for carrying the turtle shell, but in fact, besides containing the broken turtle shell, they were also an important artifact itself, which could only play a role at a critical moment.

Now, it was the so-called critical moment!

With the operation of Su Xuan's magic power, the Fusang Divine Tree behind him suddenly released dazzling light. Golden light emerged, as if a great sun was slowly rising. Wherever the light passed, it dispersed the fog and illuminated the world.
