Chapter 821: The Eye of the Flood!
... This is..." Wudichen stared at the phantom behind Fang Yu, his mind blank, unable to maintain rationality any longer.Meanwhile, the icy tears slowly seep into his body... The light gradually dissi...Fang Yu nodded and said, "Okay."
But Zhao Zinan kept holding onto Fang Yu's sleeve, unwilling to let go.
Fang Yu turned his head, just about to speak.
At this moment, Ye Shengxue stepped forward, bent down, and said softly, "Zi Nan, Mr. Fang still has urgent matters to attend to, he'll be back later... During this time, I will take good care of you."
Hearing that Fang Yu had an urgent matter, Zhao Zi'nan's face changed, she hesitated for a moment, and then let go.
"Then I'll be going." Fang Yu glanced at the two women in front of him and said.
"Please be careful, Mr. Fang," Ye Shengxue bowed.
Zhao Zinan looked at Fang Yu, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but because of shyness, she didn't dare to speak.
Fang Yu raised his right hand, activated the Kongling Ring, and disappeared again.
……
Fang Yu returned to the Frost and Cold Palace, Su Lengyun was waiting for him at the gate.
Upon seeing Su Lengyun, he immediately, without stopping, activated the Kongling Ring once more and set off towards the ancient relic site at the precise coordinates provided by the Kuaitian Bureau.
……
Before us is a waterfall with a massive, cascading flow, along with a large spring at its base.
Surrounded by towering mountains and lush jungles.
This place may seem vast, but it's actually very secretive because it is surrounded by mountains on all sides, making it difficult to find the entrance.
"The coordinates are correct. The ancient ruins provided by the Sky-Peering Bureau are right here," Fang Yu thought, looking at the waterfall in front of him.
"Yu Gege, look at the ground... there are quite a few footprints, it seems many people have already gone in... The entrance is behind the waterfall." Su Lengyun's beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at the raging waterfall ahead.
Fang Yu looked around, observing the environment. After thinking for a moment, he took out a piece of white paper with a drawing from the storage space of his Kong Ling ring.
The pattern on the white paper is a square with many complex lines in the middle.
This is Fang Yu's drawing, copied from the formation patterns beneath each observatory. It is a one-to-one reproduction.
There were thirty-seven locations where observatories were built, and Fang Yu drew thirty-seven patterns of formations, all stored within the Kong Ling Ring.
This one, now extracted, is a copy of the formation on Qingyun Mountain in southern Huaibei.
Fang Yu brought the drawing to the farthest point from her line of sight and frowned as she observed it.
Then he tried turning the page.
After turning three times in a row, Fang Yu's eyes changed.
He noticed that the crisscrossing lines within the square were not entirely without logic... Upon closer inspection, he could discern a hidden mark amidst the layers of lines, pointing in a certain direction!
...and the direction of this formation...
Fang Yu turned the paper several times... He discovered that no matter how he rotated the formation, the mark within the formation always pointed in the same direction and never changed!
This situation doesn't make logical sense, but that only points to the immense mystery it contains!
The direction within the formation must represent some meaning!
...that location of Light Cloud Mountain, and the waterfall before your eyes...
Fang Yu's eyes flickered, spreading the paper flat on the ground.
As expected, the obscure markings on the diagram of that magical formation pointed directly to this waterfall!
That is to say, the formation on Light Cloud Mountain points directly to this ancient relic before us.
And the other thirty-six formations point to another thirty-six ancient ruins that have yet to be opened...
Could these underground formations be used to indicate the location of ancient relics
Fang Yu's intuition told him that it was definitely not that simple.
The formation must have other uses besides indicating location!
Beside Su Lengyun, seeing Fang Yu kept pondering, she didn't speak to disturb him.
At this moment, Fang Yu suddenly turned his head and looked at Su Lengyun, asking, "You said that the ancient ruins here were opened by the Kuitian Bureau"
"Hmm." Su Lengyun nodded.
"So, everyone in the entire Chinese martial arts world knows about this" Fang Yu asked again.
"If you want to know, you will surely be able to find out. The information released by the Celestial Gaze is always for everyone, even ordinary people in the mundane world can know." Su Lengyun replied after a moment of hesitation.
"The Heaven's Eye Bureau... how did they find out about the opening of the ancient relic" Fang Yu frowned, deep in thought.
Before this, Fang Yu had never heard of this organization called "The Prying Eyes Bureau."
They seem to have appeared suddenly in the past five hundred years, holding immense authority in both the martial arts world and the secular world.
Last time Fang Yu visited the Celestial Observatory, those rankings... especially that Immortal Ascension Monument, had already caught his attention.
Because Fang Yu deliberately released his divine sense, he did not sense any special aura within those stone tablets.
That is to say, the stele itself is not a magic artifact, it's just a stele, a simple tool.
The list updates are made by human intervention.
At that time, Fang Yu speculated that within the Sky Peering Bureau, there must be a group of people who, through some means or artifacts, collected the auras of strong martial artists in the Chinese martial arts world, thus updating the rankings.
Logically speaking, the accuracy of this kind of ranking must be low.
The "fang" character on the Immortal's Path Monument, with that extra dot, really caught Fang Yu's attention.
He always felt that the name was his own.
But for some reason, only half of it was written.
Fang Yu shook his head, not letting his thoughts drift too far.
The strangeness of the Celestial Observatory, we can investigate it later after dealing with the matter at hand.
Now, let's direct this formation towards that ancient ruin and investigate it.
Fang Yu put the drawing of the formation back into his storage space and turned to Su Lengyun, saying: "You can go in now."
"Hmm." Su Lengyun nodded and followed Fang Yu, flying towards the waterfall together.
……
On top of the suspension bridge.
The soul, draped in a black cloak, floated in mid-air.
Six people of different builds stood before him.
Two were female, and four were male.
At this moment, the six stood upright, their gazes fixed on the soul stream before them, their expressions showing reverence.
"Do you know why I called you all here" Soul Flow looked at the six people in front of him and said.
Six people looked at each other in bewilderment.
They were all suddenly summoned and had no idea what was going on.
Hunliu's gaze swept across the six people in front of him. His amber eyes, shimmering faintly, said: "The flood is coming. Thirty-seven flood eyes will be opened one by one!"
"Today, I gather you here to lead you to the first Eye of the Flood."
Before the Eye of the Flood is fully opened, every inheritance existing within each Eye of the Flood, our Halflings must obtain.
Upon hearing this, the six people were stunned for a moment, then overjoyed!
They know very well this is their chance!
Though they were already elite generals, facing such ancient inheritances that spanned thousands or even tens of thousands of years, they couldn't remain calm!
"Soul Lord, do only our Halflings know the activation time of these Eye of the Flood" General Mokgan asked.
Hun Liu shook his head, his eyes cold, and said, “The Peeking Heaven Bureau in Beidu has already taken the lead of us, spreading the news that the first Hongliu Eye has been opened.”
"What!"
Six generals' faces changed.
“There’s no need to panic. While the news has spread, not many cultivators have the strength to enter the Eye of the Flood.” Hunliu said leisurely, “Furthermore, we possess a complete map of each Eye of the Flood. Other cultivators who go in… can only move blindly, facing near certain death.”
Upon hearing this, the six generals' faces eased.
As long as Kong Shangxian is there, their Half-Spirit clan will have a huge advantage!
"You must be clear about one thing, anyone who enters the Eye of the Flood will assume an extremely high risk." Soul Flow's eyes twitched slightly, and continued, "Even if we have a map in our hands, we can't guarantee safety."
“Inside the Eye of the Storm, if you encounter any danger, you must obey my orders and not act independently.”
"Before we go, I'll give you a choice. You can choose to come with me, or you can refuse, and I will find someone else."
As soon as the words left his mouth, the six generals immediately shouted in unison with unwavering determination, "We are willing to follow Soul Master to the Eye of the Flood!"
"Good." Hunliu nodded, raising his left hand to the void beside him.
"Buzz..."
A black sphere appeared in the air, slowly expanding into a black hole.
"Now, proceed to the first Eye of the Flood," Soulflow stated.
"Whoosh!"
Six generals entered the black hole one after another.
Last, Hunliu also stepped into it.d finish his words, he suddenly turned around and faced the captain of the guards.At the same time, he grabbed that guard and pulled him directly in front of him."Bang!"The captain's sword fell, relea...
