Chapter 840

~4 min read 686 words

Su Xuan was not surprised that Yanfei and Zinu could guess this. He continued: "Do not 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 spoke in a subtle tone: "Calculating the time, from the time we set sail until now, we have spent nearly a month. Now, it is midsummer!"

Except for Yanfei, who saw the turtle shell engraved with the sea chart and saw words like "Flying Dragon in the Sky," the others did not 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 a great man!"

"The dragon represents the emperor. In rumors, it is said that whoever masters the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon can master the world. If one understands it as the dignity of an 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 among the star patterns of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon, there is exactly the saying of the Flying Dragon in the Sky!"

"This star pattern 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; only Yanfei knew a clue. Even though Su Xuan was rambling on a lot at this moment, everyone was still only half-understanding.

Jing Ke asked puzzledly: "Even if it is midsummer now and one can see star patterns like the Flying Dragon in the Sky, the entire sea area is shrouded in thick fog. Even if night falls, 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. Therefore, we must let this fog disperse temporarily!"

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

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

This was what Jing Ke thought.

In the time that followed, because the Mirage had stopped sailing, everyone rested a bit, occasionally chatting to relieve the loneliness and boredom of the journey.

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

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

However, everyone did not have any sense of 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.

Before 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 reality, besides containing the broken turtle shell, they were also an important artifact that could only exert its effect at a critical moment.

Now, it was the so-called critical moment!

With the circulation of Su Xuan's magic power, the Fusang Divine Tree behind him immediately released dazzling light. Golden light emerged, as if a great sun were slowly rising. Wherever the light passed, it dispersed the fog and illuminated the Great Thousand World.
