Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
Xu Zhangqing watched the busy Sun Shangxiang and called out, "Xiang'er, come here for a moment."
Hearing this, Sun Shangxiang put down the spirit tool in her hand, walked over quickly, and bowed with cupped hands, "Master, what are your orders?"
Xu Zhangqing instructed, "Go find your senior brother."
Sun Shangxiang froze for a moment, "Senior brother?"
Xu Zhangqing reminded her helplessly, "Li Muyao."
Only then did Sun Shangxiang react, and she asked curiously, "What do you need him for?"
Xu Zhangqing couldn't be bothered to explain and waved his hand, "Just bring him here."
"Alright!"
Sun Shangxiang nodded lightly, then took out a communication talisman.
Before long, Li Muyao arrived.
Hearing that the Spirit Field's Second-in-Command had actively sought him out, he felt quite surprised.
Of course, since they had known each other since childhood, he didn't think too much of it.
"Does Head Xu He have business with me?"
"I heard from Xiang'er that you have considerable attainment in star divination?"
"Uh... passable, I guess."
"Come with me."
"Yes."
Afterward, Xu Zhangqing led the way in front, with Li Muyao following behind.
The two didn't go anywhere else; they went from the front courtyard to a pavilion on the other side.
Then, under the other's curious gaze, Xu Zhangqing sketched out a star chart out of thin air.
Li Muyao recognized it at a glance, "The Big Dipper!"
Xu Zhangqing pointed at the last star, "What does its dimness represent?"
Li Muyao frowned and said, "The North Star registers death, the South Star registers life.
Therefore, it depends on what you want to ask."
Xu Zhangqing said thoughtfully, "This is something I saw on a fragmented map. Because I found it peculiar, I committed it to memory."
Li Muyao pondered, "If it's a map, it's generally for a secret realm or a treasure vault. Only, the Big Dipper carries too heavy a killing intent, so the marked location is bound to be fraught with peril."
Xu Zhangqing carefully recalled and discovered it was indeed a map.
Because at that time the space was very dark, plus there were shadows writhing, and the Big Dipper was too bright, so he couldn't see clearly.
If that's the case, then the scope can be narrowed down.
One, the Wu Sheng Chong Mu is in the Luo River Bei Clan.
Two, there happens to be a mysterious map.
Three, this marked location is fraught with peril.
With all factors and clues combined, doesn't the location become clear?
Xu Zhangqing took a deep breath and thought to himself, "The Xuanhe Source!"
Eldest Senior Sister once said, the Luo River Bei Clan are descendants of the Xuanhe Clan from ten thousand years ago.
Later the Turbid Evil Calamity erupted, the Xuanhe Source was corrupted, and now only the Luo River remains.
From this it can be seen, what the Wu Sheng Chong Mu has targeted is fundamentally not the Bei Clan, but the Xuanhe.
Li Muyao chuckled lightly, "If Head Xu has a map, I can help look for it."
Xu Zhangqing recovered from his shock and said with feigned regret, "What a pity, the map is fragmented."
At this, Li Muyao shrugged, "Then we can only wait for a specific time; at that time the star chart will automatically display the location.
Only, it might take a hundred years, five hundred years, or even a thousand years."
Xu Zhangqing took out a batch of spirit stones and handed them over, "I'll look for you next time."
Li Muyao gave a cheeky laugh and immediately pocketed the spirit stones, "Thanks."
Afterward, Xu Zhangqing headed toward the cultivation chamber once more.
Li Muyao, having come all this way with difficulty, wasn't in a rush to leave; he went to the edge of the Spirit Field and chatted idly with his "junior sister" Sun Shangxiang.
Recently the resources at the Water Control Pavilion had become tight and scarce; a salted fish like him could only find his own channels to buy spirit rice and spirit plants.
Fortunately, although Sun Shangxiang didn't produce these things, she could still help out.
……
……
Inside the cultivation chamber, Xu Zhangqing flicked his sleeve, and over a dozen scrolls of maps whooshed out, unfurling in midair.
Besides a massive map encompassing the entire Tianyuan Realm, there were detailed maps of the Five Regions, the Dongyu Water Map, and even the rarely seen Underground Water Map.
For a moment, illusory shadows of mountains and rivers interwove and floated.
Xu Zhangqing's gaze was like lightning, swiftly scanning through the countless veins.
Although he wasn't proficient in star divination, he was very practiced at following clues on a map.
Then, according to the memory in his mind, he began comparing them bit by bit like this.
As time passed, one map after another was eliminated.
At first, Xu Zhangqing thought he had guessed wrong.
Until he placed an even more ancient Dongyu Water Map on it, and as he searched, his eyes brightened.
This Big Dipper star chart happened to match one of the pieces.
Only in the minute details was there the slightest difference.
"That is... the Yaoguang Bi Sea?"
"Isn't this the Yaoguang Nine Domains?"
"The last star of the Big Dipper is also called Yaoguang!"
"Moreover, there is a Yaoguang Cave within the Yaoguang Nine Domains!"
"Could it be that the source of the Xuan River is in the Yaoguang Bi Sea?"
But Xu Zhangqing not only couldn't be happy, instead he furrowed his brows.
According to what Eldest Senior Sister said, the Xuan River has already dried up, especially the source.
But holding the map for comparison, the Luo River going upward all the way to the Big Dipper marked position happens to be exactly the Yaoguang Nine Domains.
Xu Zhangqing thought back and forth, and finally shook his head: "Since I can't figure it out, I'll just wait for Gonggong to return and ask him."
When it comes down to it, I haven't been to the Yaoguang Nine Domains myself, so naturally I don't know anything.
But regardless, if I can know the Big Dipper marked position in advance, perhaps I can figure out what the Wu Sheng Chong Mu is really coveting.
Over the next few days, Xu Zhangqing researched the Bloodline Grafting Secret Art on one hand, and waited patiently on the other, passing the days quite comfortably.
This day, Li Sancai came.
Xu Zhangqing was surprised: "Did something happen to the Spirit Field?"
Li Sancai glanced at Ping'an who was playing with Linglong, then replied: "The Spirit Field is fine, it's just that I suddenly received news from Ling Bi."
Xu Zhangqing asked curiously: "What happened to Senior Brother Lingbi?"
Li Sancai waved his hand: "Cousin is fine, it's just that he's very interested in Ping'an."
Xu Zhangqing understood instantly, and immediately grinned: "You're not here to act as a Guest Speaker, are you?"
Li Sancai nodded helplessly: "You guessed right."
Xu Zhangqing crossed his arms, his expression even more playful: "Mo Zhenjun found Senior Brother Lingbi, and then Senior Brother Lingbi found you — the Commitment must be substantial, right?"
Li Sancai got straight to the point: "Zhenjun values Ping'an extremely highly, and wishes to accept him as a Direct Disciple.
As long as you agree, Spirit Stones, Spirit Talismans — pick whatever you want.
Moreover, Qun Shuang can serve as a steward in the Rain Water Pavilion.
Mo Zhenjun additionally promises to bestow a Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman."
Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow: "Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman!"
Li Sancai said seriously: "You know this talisman; back then Ling Bi was able to break through to Earth Grade Golden Core because of it."
Xu Zhangqing's heart stirred; the Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman is indeed a Good Thing, not to mention all these resources — Mo Zhenjun is truly willing to go all out to obtain Ping'an.
As long as I get one, I'll know how to engrave it.
When the time comes to face the Calamity, pulling out ten thousand sheets to forcibly withstand the Turbid Thunder would be no problem.
However, before he could respond, a Phenomenon suddenly erupted above Hongfeng Valley.
Only to see this heaven and earth suddenly transform into two Yin-Yang colors.
Half black.
Half white.
Yin-Yang Qi alternated, Water-Fire Power surged forth.
Immediately, Xu Zhangqing and the others looked up, discovering two massive Black and White Yin-Yang Fish swimming in the sky.
They ignored the constraints of heaven and earth rules, moving freely like this.
And behind them, they were actually pulling a White Jade Imperial Carriage.
In an instant Yin-Yang Circulation, heaven and earth changed color!
