396. Chapter 396: The Mysterious Compass

In the Immortal World, the Divine Dragon Great Emperor is the undisputed strongest; even the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor is no match for him.

There are countless women who scramble to get close to the Divine Dragon Great Emperor, even if only for a night of romance, but unfortunately, none have the opportunity.

Now, not only do they have this opportunity, but they can also stay by Su Chen's side, which is a tremendous honor.

"I have already decided."

Ziwei Xianzi looked at Yi Zhuyue's worried expression and couldn't help but smile, "I want to stay by Su Chen's side."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhuyue's hanging heart finally settled, but she was somewhat puzzled; Ziwei Xianzi had been so resolute before, so why had she suddenly changed her mind?

Seeming to see through Yi Zhuyue's confusion, Ziwei Xianzi smiled.

"When I was in the Immortal World, I once met Tianji Laoren. Tianji Laoren said... the person who takes my Yin Essence will be my true love in the future, and will also change the future plight of my clan."

Ziwei Xianzi raised her eyes, which held fine, shimmering starlight, looking exceptionally beautiful.

"This person... is Su Chen."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhuyue immediately stopped doubting, only sighing in her heart at the cleverness of fate.

One must know that in the Immortal World, Tianji Laoren is a figure who calculates with divine precision, treating the world as a game; his words have never been wrong.

"Then from now on, we two are good sisters; when we encounter things, we can keep each other company and make decisions together."

Yi Zhuyue took Ziwei Xianzi's hand and smiled sweetly.

"What are you two talking about, laughing so happily?"

Su Chen pushed the door open and entered; he had heard their pleasant laughter from outside the door.

"Zhuyue, I didn't see you earlier and wondered where you had gone; so you came here."

The two women looked at each other and smiled, without offering much explanation.

Their gazes simply fell upon Su Chen in unison, and finally, they laughed at each other again.

Su Chen inexplicably felt that the two of them were harboring some little schemes, but he didn't know what they were, and couldn't help but shiver.

He couldn't help but think: having subdued this pair of sisters, those who know will think he forced them, while those who don't might think they were the ones plotting against him.

Su Chen rubbed his nose.

"By the way, after I arrived in the Central Province, the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor actually gave me a treasure, though I don't know its purpose, I do know it is very important."

Ziwei Xianzi said slowly, "So I kept that item safe."

Since she had already decided to be with Su Chen, Ziwei Xianzi did not intend to hold anything back.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen immediately became attentive.

After all, before this, he had already obtained the tokens of two deceased individuals; adding Ziwei Xianzi's, this was already the third.

It seems that for every messenger of the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor, the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor gave a token, though it is unknown what exactly they are for.

Giving them out so separately feels like he is hiding something, or—is for the sake of a turning point.

Thinking of this, Su Chen said: "Ziwei, can you take me to see it?"

"Okay." Ziwei Xianzi naturally had no objections.

The group followed the Ziwei Pavilion to its very center.

They saw a huge ginkgo tree planted there, its thick trunk requiring more than a dozen adults to join hands just to barely encircle it.

The branches and leaves blotted out the sky, lush and green, with vibrant vitality, clearly having survived for a long time. Ziwei Xianzi's aura tightened, and as she closed and opened her eyes, they glowed with a faint white light.

She pressed her palms together, and immediately, she quickly drew several symbols in the void, striking them straight into the ginkgo tree.

The ginkgo tree instantly shone with great brilliance, and a light gate appeared before everyone.

That light gate seemed real yet illusory, hazy and indistinct, making it impossible to see the specific appearance inside.

The few of them looked at each other, and then, they all walked in.

What came into view was a quaint and elegant little house; the entire interior was not large, but it was clean and tidy.

The overall layout was dominated by white and purple, the bed curtains had a faint purple hue, there were many books, and tea was set on the table, looking very elegant.

Ziwei Xianzi pursed her lips and said somewhat embarrassedly: "When I am feeling restless on ordinary days, I like to stay here alone to calm my mind."

In other words, this could be considered Ziwei Xianzi's boudoir.

Su Chen chuckled.

"As expected of Ziwei Xianzi, this boudoir is decorated very much like your personality; it looks elegant and simple."

Ziwei Xianzi's face flushed red, and she turned her head away, somewhat embarrassed, saying in a low voice: "Not at all, they are just the most ordinary things; I don't have time to tidy up usually."

That was a very humble statement.

The furnishings in the room looked plain and unremarkable, but if one looked closely, one could see that every item inside was of immense value; even if just one were to appear in the outside world, it would make people fight until they were bloodied.

Ziwei Xianzi walked to the bedside, tapped left and right, and a hidden compartment suddenly appeared.

Ziwei Xianzi opened the compartment and took out a compass; that compass was very similar to the one Ziwei Xianzi had taken out when they first met, but looking closely, one could still see obvious differences.

This compass was white all over, and the characters on it were dyed in purple; it looked very ancient, and one could feel a faint aura of history.

"You are skilled in divination and fortune-telling; this thing should be very useful to you. Why would you just leave it here?"

As soon as Yi Zhuyue saw this thing, she couldn't help but frown and ask.

She had originally thought that Ziwei Xianzi had also obtained something as irrelevant as what they had.

For example, her Jade Letter, and Lanbo's Token; although they were of no use, they at least had some function—her Jade Letter could communicate, and Lanbo used the Token to continuously absorb the Spiritual Power of the entire Western Wasteland.

By comparison, the compass Ziwei Xianzi obtained should have been very good, after all, her own Life-bound Dharma Artifact is a compass.

"Although this compass looks like a compass, it is actually as if it were dead; no matter how I activate it, there is no reaction, but it cannot be destroyed by any method either. As time passed, I couldn't do anything about it, so I left it here."

Ziwei Xianzi shook her head and explained with a solemn expression.

This was indeed very strange.

It was clearly a compass, yet it had no reaction.

However, based on previous experience, Yi Zhuyue did not think that the things from Ziwei Xianzi were useless.

But at the moment, the information they possessed was too scarce; Yi Zhuyue pondered left and right, yet still did not know what the true purpose of the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor was.

He had prepared these things with such great fanfare; could it really be purely for the sake of giving them to her? It sounded unrealistic.

"This thing is of no use to me now; if you need it, then I will give it to you."

Ziwei Xianzi handed the compass to Su Chen and smiled slightly.

She was using this item to pledge allegiance, proving her determination and loyalty to Su Chen. (End of chapter)
