Chapter 304

~9 min read 1,750 words

The night was like ink, the stars were brilliant, and the myriad stars were like glass fragments crushed by gods, scattered in all directions, weaving the Zhou Tian Xing Chen into a flowing, gorgeous scroll.

Hua Changxi, who had originally felt heavy-hearted because the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan had sucked some kind of energy from her body, was also stunned by this magnificent and spectacular scene.

Looking at the stars "within reach," Hua Changxi, who had fallen to the ground, couldn't help but reach out her hand.

One could pluck the stars with a hand!

It seemed that as long as she continued to reach out, she could touch the stars in the sky.

Of course, this was just Hua Changxi's illusion.

Hua Changxi soon recovered from the shock, and then she noticed that the entire firmament seemed to be pulled by some invisible force, and the stars across the sky began to rotate in reverse and move.

Soon, star patterns emerged.

Above the firmament, the star walls were like curtains.

In the east, the stars emitted a cyan halo, and a giant cyan dragon seemed to be lurking in the dancing starlight; the entire star field was full of vitality.

In the south, the stars were as brilliant as blood jade, condensing into the shape of a fire bird, with flames flowing, as if burning with an inextinguishable fire; even the darkness was burned into a warm red, and even the star trails carried scorch marks.

In the west, it seemed as if a white tiger was stepping on the stars, the star wind whistling like a knife, and even the stars carried a murderous aura of gold and iron.

In the north, a fierce beast with a snake body coiled around a tortoise back lay in the star abyss, inducing the flow of star Qi to form a small star vortex; all the stars revolved around the fierce beast, time seemed to freeze, and even the speed at which the stars fell slowed by thirty percent.

Hua Changxi felt as if her soul had been sucked away by the star patterns, and in a trance, she heard the low whispers of the Four Spirits: "Azure Dragon governs life, Zhu Que governs burning, Bai Hu governs killing, Xuanwu governs stillness. The Four Symbols rotate, the stars do not fall."

Hua Changxi felt her brain go blank, and when her eyes regained clarity, the striking Four Spirits star patterns in the night sky had dissipated; she could only see a cyan color in the eastern starry sky, a ball of red light in the southern starry sky, golden light hunting in the western starry sky, and cold stillness in the northern starry sky.

Thinking of what she had just seen, Hua Changxi swallowed her saliva and supported herself on the ground to stand up.

At this moment, she discovered that the Qintian Tower beneath her had changed completely.

The "ground" beneath her, of an unknown material, faintly flowed with starlight; as soon as she moved, spiderweb-like star patterns would light up on the "ground," as if an ancient array was awakening in the dark night.

Hua Changxi shivered, suddenly realizing that she seemed to have done another "big thing."

"Could it be that I am really the Child of Destiny?"

Otherwise, why does every such big commotion find her?

However, Hua Changxi held an attitude of respect and distance toward the so-called Child of Destiny.

People fear fame just as pigs fear getting fat; she just wanted to cultivate her own Dao in peace and didn't want to be noticed by too many people.

"I hope today's events won't bring me any trouble!"

Hua Changxi stood up in a hurry, preparing to run away.

But as soon as she stood up, she was stunned.

Looking from a height, at this moment, the entire capital was in her view.

Hua Changxi's heart suddenly began to beat rapidly; compared to the shock brought by the Four Spirits star patterns just now, the lights of ten thousand homes she saw now seemed to touch her heart more.

"Young Friend Hua, drip a few drops of essence blood into the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan, perhaps there will be unexpected gains."

Just as Hua Changxi was immersed in the warmth of the human world among the lights of ten thousand homes, a male voice entered her ears.

Hua Changxi regained her senses instantly; who was it, who was talking to her?

"That voice just now sounded like a sound transmission technique?"

Who was sending her a sound transmission?

Hua Changxi looked around, and finally looked down, only to discover two figures on the high building of the Tian Department, and one person on the Guangyin Tower in the distance.

Among the three, she recognized Wei Zhenjie, but she had never seen the other two.

She had dealt with Wei Zhenjie, and she could recognize his voice, so the sound transmission just now should have been sent to her by one of the other two.

Hua Changxi noticed that the person with Wei Zhenjie had a tortoise shell in front of him, and she immediately had a guess; that person was very likely the Master of the Qintian Tower. As for the person on the Guangyin Tower, it should be the Master of the Guangyin Tower.

The Master of the Guangyin Tower shouldn't be able to send a message to the Qintian Tower, so the person who sent her the sound transmission could only be the Master of the Qintian Tower.

"Drip blood into the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan?"

As soon as Hua Changxi thought of the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan sucking some kind of energy from her body earlier, she felt repulsion.

However, Wei Zhenjie had helped her and had no hostility toward her, so the possibility of the Qintian Tower Master, who was with Wei Zhenjie, plotting against her shouldn't be too great.

"Should I try?"

The Qintian Tower Master had specifically sent a sound transmission, so Hua Changxi was still somewhat moved. While hesitating, her gaze swept to the snake demon's body, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She took out a gourd ladle and went up to take a ladle of the snake demon's essence blood.

"Let's try with the snake demon's essence blood first."

After collecting the snake demon's essence blood, Hua Changxi walked to the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan and found that the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan had also changed.

When she looked at the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan before, it was just a flat white jade table, but at this moment, although the appearance of the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan hadn't changed, it had become "three-dimensional"; clearly, it had edges and boundaries, yet it gave people a feeling of vastness without limits.

Hua Changxi controlled her spiritual power to drip the snake demon's essence blood into the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan.

One drop, two drops, three drops...

As soon as the snake demon's essence blood fell into the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan, it disappeared, as if it had been... absorbed?

Unfortunately, Hua Changxi dripped more than ten drops of the snake demon's essence blood, but the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan had no reaction at all.

Seeing this, Hua Changxi, who still remembered that she had to run away quickly, couldn't be bothered to drip it in drop by drop, and directly poured all the collected snake demon essence blood in at once.

At this moment, the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan finally had some reaction.

She saw white light flaring in the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan, and a continent appeared in the central area. In the northwest direction of the continent, dozens of crisscrossing mountain ranges appeared, and then, spiritual light gathered above the mountain ranges.

The spiritual light twisted and changed into four characters: "Ten Thousand Great Mountains."

Almost the moment the characters were formed, the four characters "Ten Thousand Great Mountains" dissipated with a bang. The next moment, those mountain ranges also disappeared, followed by the continent.

"Ten Thousand Great Mountains?"

Hua Changxi guessed that the continent should be the Central Continent, but she didn't know what kind of place the Ten Thousand Great Mountains was. She noted it down, preparing to find an opportunity to ask Tong Yao, Jing Le, and Yan Zhenzhen.

Seeing that the snake demon's essence blood could make the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan reveal the continent's terrain, Hua Changxi gritted her teeth, used her spiritual power to cut her finger, and carefully dripped a drop into the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan.

After one drop, the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan lit up with white light.

The Central Continent appeared again, and in the due south direction, a magnificent red palace appeared—the Lingguang Palace.

Seeing the Lingguang Palace, Hua Changxi was stunned. Could it be that the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan reveals places related to her?

Seeing the white light in the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan start to flicker, Hua Changxi thought it was because the energy was insufficient, so she hurriedly dripped another drop of essence blood into it.

After the essence blood was dripped, there was no manifestation this time, but the white light became even brighter.

Hua Changxi hesitated for a moment and dripped essence blood into the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan again. This time, she didn't skimp and dripped several drops at once.

With more blood drops, the benefits were obvious.

In the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan, a fire light appeared below the Lingguang Palace.

Immediately after, other things began to appear in the fire light.

The first to appear was a Wutong forest, followed by the Suiren Valley, the Karma Fire Platform, the Fire Cloud Cave, the Nine Heavens Fire Spring, the Red Flame Mountain, the Fire Rock Cave, the Zhurong Tomb, the Lihuo Cliff, and the Ghost Fire Well.

Starting from the Lingguang Palace, connecting these places together exactly outlined the pattern of a fire bird.

Hua Changxi was stunned: "This is... the Zhu Que totem!"

At the heart of the Zhu Que totem stood a magnificent city—Nanxiang City.

Behind Nanxiang City, there was also a flickering fire pool—the Nirvana Pool.

Hua Changxi remembered those locations she had noted that clearly had spatial fluctuations, which exactly matched these places revealed in the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Pan.

These places should be the blessed lands that Tong Yao spoke of.
