Chapter 32: The Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon, Dongjun

Journey to the West: Starting by Joining the Chat Group, Main Volume, Chapter 32, The Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon, Dongjun's Choice: "Luna!"

Seeing who had arrived, Yan Fei's expression changed slightly.

Luna is a Protector of the Yin-Yang School; although her status is slightly lower than the position of Dongjun, it is not by much.

Furthermore, Luna's talent is also extraordinary, and she is at the same cultivation realm as her.

However, Yan Fei is already at Grandmaster Perfection, while Luna is at the late stage of Grandmaster.

Back then, they competed quite a bit for the position of Dongjun.

"Why have you come?" Yan Fei asked.

Ever since Luna failed to compete for the position of Dongjun, she has become eccentric and elusive.

"Dongjun, I have come to convey a message from Eastern Emperor," Luna said.

"What message?" Yan Fei asked.

"Eastern Emperor did not state it clearly, but it should be related to the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon. Eastern Emperor requires you to go to the Star Gazing Pavilion," Luna said.

Yan Fei frowned, not knowing what Donghuang Taiyi intended to do, but her expression immediately returned to normal; now she could only meet moves with moves, taking it one step at a time.

"Very well."

Yan Fei agreed, and then the two went to the Star Gazing Pavilion together.

On the way, neither spoke; they both seemed to be aloof people, and no one was willing to initiate conversation.

After arriving at the Star Gazing Pavilion, Luna stayed outside and did not enter; Yan Fei went in alone.

The Star Gazing Pavilion is where Donghuang Taiyi observes changes in Celestial Phenomenon, and his attainments in the laws of astrology are unfathomable; he can fully see a corner of the future and a glimmer of possibility from the trajectories of the stars.

Walking into the pavilion, the surroundings were empty, filled only with ancient bronze walls; the music of sacrifice drifted faintly through the air, and looking up, one could see the brilliant stars filling the sky.

Under that sky full of stars, Donghuang Taiyi, dressed in a dark gold robe, stood on the steps with his hands behind his back.

Donghuang Taiyi was completely wrapped in his robes, his true face obscured; the dark gold robe was embroidered with the pattern of the divine beast, the Three-Legged Golden Crow, symbolizing the nobility of his bloodline and status.

Yan Fei felt a heavy heart, bowed slightly, and said, "Greetings, Eastern Emperor!"

Donghuang Taiyi, from beneath his mask, cast his gaze over and said, "Dongjun, your cultivation realm has progressed again. It seems it will not be long before you break through to a higher realm. You are truly the number one extraordinary woman of the Yin-Yang School, the most gifted genius the Yin-Yang School has seen in a hundred years."

"You flatter me, my lord. All of this is inseparable from the cultivation of the Yin-Yang School and the guidance of Eastern Emperor," Yan Fei said.

"With the same resources and the same guidance, not everyone can reach the same heights," Eastern Emperor said indifferently.

Yan Fei did not know what medicine Donghuang was selling in his gourd, so she took the initiative to ask, "Eastern Emperor, I do not know what important matter you have to discuss with me by summoning me to the Star Gazing Pavilion."

Donghuang Taiyi was silent for a moment, then said, "Yan Fei, do you know of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon?"

"I have heard a little of them," Yan Fei replied.

"Since ancient times, the world has long been divided and must unite, and long united, it must divide. The succession of dynasties is the same. But throughout the long river of history, one treasure has always existed, and that is the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon," Donghuang Taiyi said.

"But no one has ever seen the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon!" Yan Fei said.

Saying this now was merely to state her own position.

Having read the Script, she naturally knew about the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon.

In the future, her entire life would be ruined by that mission regarding the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon.

In the future, Donghuang Taiyi would send her to befriend Crown Prince Dan of Yan, gain his trust, and then wait for an opportunity to obtain the secret of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon.

Wait, could it be that now is the time for Donghuang Taiyi to issue that mission?

Is it a bit earlier than expected?

If it truly is, then has she not reached the turning point of her fate?

And Donghuang Taiyi slowly narrated, "Back then, this world belonged to Dixin of the Grand Shang. It can be said that no force on this land could oppose him.

Later, the Great Zhou rose as a dark horse and seized the throne of the Grand Shang with lightning speed, thus beginning eight hundred years of national fortune.

People in this world only know that Dixin was a tyrant who harmed the loyal and virtuous, which is why he was replaced by Zhou.

But the truth is that the Great Zhou obtained the secret of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon, thereby replacing the Grand Shang.

As for whether Dixin was a tyrant, perhaps he was, or perhaps not; after all, the masses are mostly ignorant, and sometimes the truth is not important."

"It is rumored that later, King Wu of Zhou obtained the secret of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon, but fearing that this power was too strong, he divided it into seven, letting the seven most trusted vassal kings guard this secret.

Although the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods have lasted for a hundred years, this secret has always remained among the descendants of those seven original vassal kings, which are the seven states of today."

After listening to the explanation, Yan Fei said, "So Eastern Emperor wishes to obtain the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon."

Donghuang Taiyi nodded and said:

"Correct, Dongjun. You are the most outstanding disciple of the Yin-Yang School, both in strength and strategy. I hope you will infiltrate the seven states and obtain the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon."

"..."

Yan Fei was speechless; is this the power of fate?

Some things, once destined, will eventually happen no matter how the minor trends change, just as no matter how many tributaries there are, all rivers eventually return to the sea.

"Ding, Private Task triggered: Choose to accept Donghuang Taiyi's mission to receive 3,000 points. Refuse Donghuang Taiyi's mission to receive no points."

At this moment, a message from the Chat Group arrived.

"It actually issued a mission!"

Yan Fei was shocked. She had originally wanted to find an excuse to decline, but now that there was a mission, she had to accept.

After all, it was 3,000 points; she could not give up the chance to change the future.

"For the sake of the Yin-Yang School, I am willing to accept this mission and obtain the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon. I do not know which of the seven states Eastern Emperor requires me to go to?" Yan Fei asked.

Donghuang Taiyi pondered for a moment and said:

"Among the seven states today, the weakest are Yan and Han. Compared to Yan, the forces in Han are intricate and complex, which might be unfavorable for obtaining the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon. You should go to Yan."

"..." Yan Fei.

This damned correction force of the Heavenly Dao; now everything matches up.

Yan Fei suddenly said, "Eastern Emperor, I wish to go to Han. For me, a challenging mission can make me more focused."

The Chat Group only allows accepting missions and does not specify how to carry them out; one must go to Yan.

Now there are two choices; although Donghuang Taiyi leans toward Yan, she chooses Han.

Donghuang Taiyi was silent for a moment and said:

"As long as you are happy. The Han royal family has long been infiltrated by the Night Veil and the Net; do not easily alert the enemy."

Whether to go to Han or Yan, Donghuang Taiyi did not force the issue.

He values the result, not the process.

"I will certainly not let the Eastern Emperor down," Yan Fei promised solemnly.

"Ding, congratulations to group member, the number one extraordinary woman of the Yin-Yang School, for completing a personal choice mission and obtaining 3,000 points."

A message from the Chat Group arrived.

Yan Fei was delighted; she had originally struggled and worked hard to check in every day, hoping for a few more points.

She never expected that a single optional mission would directly grant her 3,000.

The surprise came too fast, like a tornado; it felt somewhat unreal.

As for Yan Dan, she did not want to encounter this scumbag who only cared about his career.

That is why she went to Han; she did not believe she could still run into him in Han.

PS: Some of the Qin settings here have been changed. In the original work, Yan Dan was a hostage in Qin when he met Dongjun before going to Yan; that is no longer the case.
