Chapter 705

After lingering in the Daoist school for a period of time, although I did some useless work at first, it was ultimately not without gains. As the saying goes, "After endless mountains and rivers that leave doubt whether there is a path out, suddenly one encounters the shade of a willow, bright flowers, and a lovely 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 both surprised and felt it was a matter of course.

Regardless, Facing Xiaomeng is also an important character in the original work, and given the nature of the creators, the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon would only be linked to important characters. Although Qingxuan has a very cool name, strictly speaking, he is just a bit player—what kind of small fry is he?

Carrying the map, Su Xuan returned to the Yin-Yang School and found Moon Goddess the first moment he arrived.

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

The reason he gave it to Moon Goddess was, firstly, because after the last mission, Concubine Yan had already gone into seclusion, and Su Xuan really felt embarrassed to disturb her cultivation. Secondly, it was because Moon Goddess had lost in the last confrontation; she had found the bronze box of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon later than Concubine Yan, so she was harboring a fire in her heart and wanted to surpass Concubine Yan in other areas.

Consequently, Su Xuan did not mind giving her another chance.

After receiving the map, Moon Goddess left.

Su Xuan trusted her ability to handle matters; he imagined it wouldn't be long before Moon Goddess could find the final piece of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon.

The Seven Luminaries hide the mystery; Su Xuan was very curious: once the seven pieces of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon were gathered, what would their true secret actually be?

Time flowed by slowly.

During this period, Su Xuan had been cultivating with single-minded devotion.

Moon Goddess's speed was very fast.

Perhaps because she had already had the experience of following a map to find something once before, and because the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon she was looking for this time belonged to the Wei Guo—whose territory was adjacent to the State of Qin, and the distance between the two was not far—Moon Goddess did not spend much time finding the object hidden in the map.

As the last bronze box was brought back by her.

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

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 a thousand years, not to mention that the previous Yin-Yang School Sect Master, Donghuang Taiyi, had once expressed an intention to seek it.

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

Carrying a trace of curiosity, she retreated.

In the spacious quiet room, there was only Su Xuan, appearing incomparably tranquil.

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

The pity was that even with the seven boxes placed together, they did not produce any chemical reaction, such as echoing each other or simultaneously releasing strange power.

To truly solve the secret of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon, one 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, delicate box appeared in Su Xuan's hand.

This is... the Phantom Sound Box!

As the supreme treasure of the Yin-Yang School, the Phantom Sound Box held an extraordinary status within the school. It contains thousands of musical melodies, which can stir the listener's emotional changes; if one hears the wrong melody, one will suffer qi deviation, but conversely, if one is lucky, one's cultivation can greatly advance.

After the Phantom Sound Box first fell into Su Xuan's hands, Su Xuan conducted research on it, and finally, he even saw a portion of the soul separated by Mozi inside the box, and even learned four words from the mouth of that soul.

Namely—"The Azure Dragon is ominous"!

Mozi believed that a brilliant and talented genius would surely appear in the Mohist School in the future, and that this person would succeed as the Mohist Leader and penetrate the mysteries of the Phantom Sound Box, so he left a portion of his image behind in advance to inform that person of certain things.

He wanted that person to 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 perceived certain secrets, he could not ignore them. Consequently, he left a message for his descendants, hoping that to prevent huge hidden dangers from appearing in the future, his descendants could stop the disaster from occurring.

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

Well, one cannot say that either. In the original work, he perhaps calculated it, which is why the protagonist Tianming became the Mohist Leader.

But in this world, because there was an extra Su Xuan, there were some variables, to the point that Mozi's many schemes all came to nothing.

The Phantom Sound Box fell into the hands of the Yin-Yang School and was even cracked by Su Xuan. The image he left behind was not seen by the people of the Mohist School; 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 still because 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 him taking an interest in.

Coincidentally, the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon was one of them.

Su Xuan had once studied the Phantom Sound Box for a long time, so he was no stranger to this object. Besides his research on the Phantom Sound Box, 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 without understanding of this object; within the internal classics of the Yin-Yang School, there were many records regarding the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon.

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

The melodies within the Phantom Sound Box seem to have no pattern, but in reality, under certain circumstances, there are patterns to be found.

Su Xuan flicked his sleeves, and in an instant, shimmering starlight appeared in mid-air. The stars emerged, and then the light was cast onto the Phantom Sound Box. As the star patterns changed, the melodies played by the Phantom Sound Box also differed.

So, how should one go about finding the few 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 one by one by Su Xuan. The starlight fell, landing on the Phantom Sound Box, and followed the tiny gaps on the box to sink inside. It seemed to trigger some hidden mechanisms within the Phantom Sound Box, and unique musical sounds suddenly rang out.

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

Next, it was time to follow the information contained within these melodies and begin to decrypt them.
