Emperor of the Mysterious Heavens

Chapter 20: Chapter 031 Breaking the Army Star

"We have arrived!" Mr. Wen Ruo suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone immediately turned their heads and looked ahead.

As the small boat stopped, the three thousand soldiers also abruptly came to a halt.

In front of them was like a yellow qi wall. However, if one looked carefully, one would find that this qi wall was curved, a huge cylindrical yellow qi wall.

Inside the qi wall, the upper part was yellow with a golden glow, while the lower part was yellow with strands of black qi.

The black qi was raging within the yellow light. Vaguely visible a thousand feet away inside was a black-purple lotus flower with pitch-black rhizomes. It seemed to be floating in the air.

"This yellow light? Can't it all be the qi of the dragon veins?" Azure Dragon exclaimed in astonishment.

"It is the qi of the dragon veins!" Mo Yuxi affirmed.

"This... This is too exaggerated, isn't it? In my entire life, I haven't seen so much qi of the dragon veins. This... How much is there?" White Tiger said in amazement.

"What a huge feng shui formation and such heavy evil qi!" Yan Chuan also exclaimed in wonder.

"Evil qi?" Azure Dragon looked at Yan Chuan.

"The entire feng shui formation is to suppress this demonic lotus flower. But even with such a huge power of the dragon veins, it still can't be completely suppressed? The evil qi is raging. The Wondrous Demon Lotus is truly extraordinary!" Yan Chuan said solemnly.

"Does Young Master Yan have a way to break it?" Mr. Wen Ruo asked.

"The fog in this small world is so thick that it's not clear to see from above. Let's go to the top first and take a look!" Yan Chuan said.

"Um!" Mr. Wen Ruo nodded.

The small boat carried everyone and slowly rose along the yellow qi wall.

It rose higher and higher.

"We're two thousand feet up!" Azure Dragon said.

"Stop!" Yan Chuan suddenly shouted.

As the small boat stopped, everyone looked up. The fog above was getting less and less, and they could already see some clearly.

"This is inside a feng shui formation. How can we see the stars?" Azure Dragon asked in surprise.

"We can't go up any further. If we go up further, we'll leave the feng shui formation. This leads to the outside world!" Yan Chuan exclaimed.

"But when I was outside a few months ago, I didn't see this entrance at all!" Mo Yuxi asked in confusion.

"This exit can only be used to go out and can't be found again once you leave!" Yan Chuan shook his head.

"Indeed. I sent out a magic tool earlier. After it went out, I couldn't retrieve it!" Mr. Wen Ruo nodded.

"I originally thought this was a hemispherical closed cover. I didn't expect it to be a cylindrical open shield!" Yan Chuan frowned and pondered.

"Why, Yan Chuan? You said you could break it earlier. Now why can't you? You killed Ding Wugu. If you can't obtain the Wondrous Demon Lotus, you will be fully responsible!" Yang Zhijiu still held a grudge and said.

Yan Chuan ignored Yang Zhijiu and stared at the sky.

Vaguely, Yan Chuan seemed to see a green pillar that was very faint. So faint that it was almost unnoticeable. The pillar led into the Heavenly Pool. The other end was connected to the distant starry sky.

"That is?" Yan Chuan's pupils constricted.

"Eh?" Mr. Wen Ruo's expression also suddenly changed.

"What's wrong?" Yang Zhijiu asked in confusion.

"That pillar? Is it the power of the stars?" Mr. Wen Ruo looked at Yan Chuan as if seeking confirmation.

"Extracting star power. What a powerful feng shui formation. Who set this up? They actually draw on the power of the nine heavenly stars to suppress the Wondrous Demon Lotus together?" Yan Chuan's expression changed slightly.

"Drawing on the power of the nine heavenly stars?" Mo Yuxi said in surprise.

"The person who set up this formation is called the Great Wondrous Immortal Master!" Mr. Wen Ruo thought for a moment and said.

"An immortal?" Yan Chuan asked in surprise.

"No, he's not an immortal. He should be a quasi-immortal. According to the records, he was at the pinnacle of the Void Realm back then. He only needed to cross the tribulation to become an immortal. But in the end, for some reason, he perished and left this formation!" Mr. Wen Ruo thought for a while and said.

"Does the record say how to break it?" Yang Zhijiu asked.

"No! It's just briefly mentioned." Mr. Wen Ruo shook his head.

"Young Master Yan, do you have a way?" Mr. Wen Ruo asked.

Yan Chuan stared at the sky and looked into the starry sky.

"This star power comes from 'Po Jun'?" Yan Chuan said solemnly.

Mr. Wen Ruo looked up at the sky and nodded after a while. "Yes. What this formation extracts is indeed the star power of Po Jun Star!"

"Looking at the several stars around Po Jun Star. Was Po Jun Star among the nine stars that were in alignment a few months ago?" Yan Chuan looked at Mr. Wen Ruo.

"You don't know?" Mr. Wen Ruo asked curiously.

"I was fast asleep that day. I don't know which nine stars they were?"

"They are precisely the nine stars of the Big Dipper: Tanlang, Jumen, Wuqu, Po Jun, Wenqu, Lu Cun, Lianzhen, Zuo Fu, and You Bi!" Mr. Wen Ruo said.

"The nine stars of the Big Dipper? How could these nine stars be in a straight line?" Yan Chuan asked in surprise.

"That's why it's said to be a rare occurrence in a thousand years. No. Throughout history, there have been many cases of nine stars being in alignment. But for the nine stars of the Big Dipper to be in a straight line is the first time!" Mr. Wen Ruo thought for a while and said.

"Let's go down first!" Yan Chuan took a deep breath and said.

"Um!" Mr. Wen Ruo nodded.

The small boat slowly sank down.

"Young Master Yan, do you have a way to break this wall of the Heavenly Pool?" Mo Yuxi asked urgently.

"It's not difficult to break the wall of the Heavenly Pool. The main thing is, after breaking it open, is Miss Mo sure she can obtain the Wondrous Demon Lotus?" Yan Chuan smiled and said.

"Hmm?"

Mo Yuxi's expression changed and she immediately understood. A glint of gratitude flashed in her eyes.

"Then, Young Master Yan will have to trouble you next!" Mo Yuxi took a deep breath and said.

"I will do my best!" Yan Chuan nodded.

"Yan Chuan, how do we break this wall of the Heavenly Pool?" Yang Zhijiu was not at all polite.

"We still need to wait about half a month!" Yan Chuan shook his head.

After speaking, Yan Chuan got off the boat and looked at the three thousand silver-armored soldiers.

"Huo Guang, have the entire army set up camp and rest!" Yan Chuan ordered.

"Yes!" Huo Guang responded.

Huo Guang went to command the army.

Yan Chuan looked at Mo Yuxi and said, "Miss Mo, can you ask Azure Dragon and White Tiger to patrol around the wall of the Heavenly Pool and see how many experts there are?"

"Did you hear what Young Master Yan said?" Mo Yuxi immediately gave an order.

"Yes. We'll go right away!" Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise immediately flew out in response.

"Young Master Yan wants to unite the strong ones and attack the qi wall together?" Mr. Wen Ruo asked.

"Yes. There is no other way except this!" Yan Chuan nodded.

"What kind of crappy method is this? Do you still need to think about this? Isn't it just that one person can't break it so a group of people attack it together?" Yang Zhijiu immediately exclaimed.

"Yang Zhijiu!" Mo Yuxi shouted in disgust.

As soon as Yang Zhijiu saw Mo Yuxi get angry, he immediately stopped reprimanding Yan Chuan.

"It's not that simple. I just took a look. This formation is connected to the stars. Not only is the four walls reinforced by dragon qi, but there may also be star power in it. Even experts at the Void Realm may not be able to break it. We have to wait until the middle of the month when the feng shui formation is at its weakest. At the same time, we attack the eight fatal positions of the qi wall to have a chance to break it open!" Yan Chuan said solemnly.

"Why do we have to wait until the middle of the month? How do you know which eight positions?" Yang Zhijiu didn't believe it.

"In the middle of every month, on the night of the full moon, it is the time when yin qi is the strongest. The power of the dragon veins will temporarily weaken. As for the eight positions, don't you remember how we got in?" Yan Chuan smiled.

"The Eight Killers and Yellow Springs?" Mo Yuxi's eyes lit up.

"Yes. It's these eight positions!" Yan Chuan nodded.

"Young Master Yan truly understands the way of feng shui deeply!" Mr. Wen Ruo sighed in admiration.

"In the past, a close relative once studied feng shui. I just heard some from him!" Yan Chuan sighed slightly.

The close relative who was a feng shui master was his previous life's wife, Zhen Rou! Thinking of Zhen Rou, Yan Chuan's expression unconsciously darkened.

"It turned out to be Yan Tao? Unexpectedly, unexpectedly!" Mr. Wen Ruo sighed.

Thinking it was Yan Chuan's father.

Yan Chuan shook his head and smiled slightly without saying more.

"Miss Mo, I observe that the Wondrous Demon Lotus is extremely evil and must not be touched lightly!" Yan Chuan frowned and said.

"Before coming, Daoist Master Mao Ri lent me this Eight Treasures Divine Box. I can use it to store it!" Mo Yuxi took out a purple jade box.

"Will this work?" Yan Chuan looked at the purple jade box worriedly.

"Humph, commoner, what do you know? This is my father's supreme treasure, the Eight Treasures Jade Box. A ninth-grade magic tool!" Yang Zhijiu was immediately unhappy.

"Ninth-grade magic tool? That's best!" Yan Chuan nodded.

"There's still half a month. Let's think carefully about how to obtain the Wondrous Demon Lotus from the hands of the heroes!" Yan Chuan said again.

"Um!" Everyone nodded.

On the other side, the military tent was quickly set up.

After apologizing, Yan Chuan left everyone and went to the military tent.

"Huo Guang, come in! Liu Jin, guard outside. No one is allowed to enter!" Yan Chuan said.

"Yes!" Liu Jin responded.

Entering the military tent, Yan Chuan sat at the head. Huo Guang stood respectfully in front of Yan Chuan.

"How long have you been with me, Huo Guang?" Yan Chuan said in a deep voice.

"Seven years and five months!" Huo Guang respectfully said.

"Seven years and five months. What are your aspirations?" Yan Chuan asked.

Aspirations? Huo Guang was slightly puzzled. But after thinking for a while, he still respectfully said, "Huo Guang's aspiration in the past was to reorganize the Huo family and restore the glory of the title of 'God of War Marquis' to comfort the spirits of my ancestors in heaven. But now, my aspiration has changed. I hope to follow the steps of the prince and step into the realm of cultivation. Even if I can't achieve eternal life, I don't want to have any regrets in this life!"

"The God of War Marquis? Heh, you have the potential to be a fierce general. With opportunities, even in the realm of cultivation, you can use the name of the God of War Marquis to awe countless immortal sects!" Yan Chuan affirmed.

"Yes!" Huo Guang yearned.

"Do you know how to enter the Essence Realm?" Yan Chuan asked.

"I've heard of it. People in the Strength Realm practice internal force. No matter how much or how strong the strength is, it will gradually dissipate with aging. But it's different in the Essence Realm. Cultivators in the Essence Realm open acupoints in their bodies and gather internal force into essence yuan. The essence yuan is hidden in the acupoints and bursts out with infinite power. The essence yuan can also nourish the physical body and soul and increase lifespan!" Huo Guang thought for a while and said.

"Um!" Yan Chuan continued to listen.

"The Strength Realm and the Essence Realm are a huge gap. Those who reach the perfection of the Strength Realm need to find a way to trigger the heavenly tribulation. Trigger the thunder tribulation from the sky. Use the thunder tribulation to open acupoints and step into the cultivation level of the Essence Realm!" Huo Guang said solemnly.

"Not bad. Do you want to break through?" Yan Chuan asked with a smile.

"Yes. But I'm only at the ninth level of the Strength Realm. I haven't reached the perfection of the Strength Realm, let alone talk about crossing the tribulation!" Huo Guang looked at Yan Chuan with a wry smile.

"It doesn't matter. With me, Mr. Wen Ruo, and Miss Mo, it's not difficult to make you reach the perfection of the Strength Realm in half a month. As for the thunder tribulation of the first level, it's even easier!" Yan Chuan affirmed.

"Thank you, Prince!" Huo Guang felt his heart pounding.

The Essence Realm? A few months ago, Huo Guang didn't dare to think about it. But now it's right in front of him? Available for him to take?

"These are not the key reasons for calling you in. The key is the will of star power!" Yan Chuan took a deep breath and said.

"The will of star power?"

"People who enter the stage of refining spirit and returning to emptiness will look for their own natal stars. Once they inherit the will of the natal star, they can even mobilize the power of the stars for their own use and strengthen themselves." Yan Chuan said.

"Natal star? Mobilize the power of stars?" Huo Guang opened his mouth in astonishment.

"Yes. Just like that Daoist Master Mao Ri. Although I haven't seen him in person, from his name, I can understand that he must be extremely arrogant. He takes the Sun Star as his natal star and mobilizes the power of the sun!" Yan Chuan thought for a while and said.

"Natal star, the sun?" Huo Guang was astonished.

"Generally, people only look for their natal stars after reaching the Void Realm. They become compatible with their natal stars and inherit the will of the stars to strengthen themselves. If you can reach the stage of refining spirit and returning to emptiness, you can also look for it! There are countless stars in the sky. There must be one suitable for you!" Yan Chuan said.

Huo Guang yearned for it. But he also knew that Yan Chuan must have more to say.

"However, there is an opportunity now that allows you to inherit the will of a star in the Essence Realm. Do you want it?" Yan Chuan asked.

"Now?"

"Yes. Po Jun is the master of killing. Only in killing can one become stronger and stronger. If you keep being a general, you will definitely become stronger and stronger in battles. When you completely inherit the will of Po Jun Star, the title of God of War Marquis will truly be deserved!" Yan Chuan said with satisfaction.

"Huo Guang will definitely follow the prince with his life and swear an oath with all his heart!" Huo Guang knelt on one knee and solemnly swore.
