Chapter 1425, Section 57: A Strange Encounter Again, Two Objects in One
Under the dark sea, Zhao Chun traveled for several days before finally approaching the location indicated by Zhu Yu and the other man.
Although it was said to be a general location, it was thousands of miles away and beneath layers of seawater. Even with Zhao Chun's keen eyesight, he could not detect anything unusual about the array's core.
She landed, put the Heaven and Earth Furnace into her bosom with one hand, and then released her divine sense to quickly survey the surroundings. After confirming that no one was around, she made a hand seal and drew something out from her sleeve.
The object had a short handle at the bottom, with a copper needle about the length of a forearm held horizontally at the top. Its entire body was bluish-green, with a slight gleam of cold light. Although it had few rust marks, it looked exceptionally ancient. If Zhao Chun hadn't already known about the object's supernatural powers, he wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between this mysterious object and the ordinary geomancer's earth spirit ruler.
She glanced up slightly, reached out and grasped the short handle of the Seven Star Ruler, but she couldn't be entirely certain that this object could find the array's core.
However, when the Three Lights Manifestation Array was mentioned, she immediately thought of the Seven Star Ruler in her hand. It was also an array technique from the Zhou Yuan Array Sect. If she couldn't even break the Seven Star Ruler, which was of the same lineage, then Zhao Chun would really have to say that she was helpless.
Back then, Feng Shi actually ordered Yuan Huaiyue to hand over the Seven Star Ruler to Zhao Chun, saying that she would definitely have an opportunity to use this item in the future, and it should probably be here.
Zhao Chun calmly stretched out her hand, put two fingers together and turned them on the copper needle. The needle immediately began to rotate under the force, and even in the seawater, its speed did not decrease in the slightest.
After spinning around several times, the copper needle began to sway from side to side, gradually showing signs of slowing down and coming to a stop.
Suddenly, the short handle in Zhao Chun's hand trembled violently, as if it was about to slip out of his grasp, emitting a muffled buzzing sound!
The copper needles on it swayed even more violently until they gradually stopped after about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
At this point, the entire Seven Star Ruler finally quieted down. Although it was not yet clear what was special about the direction indicated by the copper needle, Zhao Chun had a vague feeling that it was the right direction.
It is clear that the Seven Star Ruler is indeed a mysterious object. The sect leader's purpose in handing it over to her that day is consistent with what she is doing today.
The distance of a thousand miles was just a rough estimate. Zhao Chun calculated that, following the direction indicated by the Seven Star Ruler, she had traveled about five or six hundred miles before the surrounding seawater began to change.
However, this change was extremely subtle, almost to the point that even divine sense could hardly detect it. Zhao Chun had the Seven Star Ruler to probe the way, and at the same time, she had been on guard for a long time, carefully observing the abnormalities around her, which is why she was able to see some clues.
"Compared to the outside world, the water flows more slowly here, and inspiration flows more smoothly."
Zhao Chun took a deep breath, her breathing becoming even smoother, and continued forward. When she was about a hundred miles away, she suddenly stopped, frowning and thinking to herself, "Someone has been here before, and not long ago!"
This inevitably set off alarm bells in her mind. She quickly put the Seven Star Ruler into her sleeve and then carefully scanned the nearby water, sensing a faint trace of true energy that did not belong to her.
"The closer you get to the center of the formation, the slower the water flows. Some people pass through without concealing their aura, and these scattered bits of true essence remain in the seawater."
Zhao Chun flicked her finger, and that bit of true energy quickly disappeared. In that instant, she suddenly raised her eyebrows and realized the person's identity.
The reason for this is that the true essence comes from Zhaoyan's sect. As long as they are fellow disciples, there is no reason why they would not recognize it.
When disciples of different sects travel outside, there is no better way to identify each other than by releasing their true essence and recognizing each other through their Daoist techniques and cultivation. The true essence aura in front of Zhao Chun should come from the "Yuanzhen Suling Yinshu" in the Seven Books and Six Classics of Zhaoyan. She had fought with disciples who practiced this method before, so she could naturally recognize it when she encountered it.
As for who it was, Zhao Chun didn't think the other person had stumbled upon this place by accident.
The twelve disciples she had brought to the East Sea had already been instructed that if they discovered anything unusual, they would have to report to her immediately. As for the other disciples, they were going to enter the sea from the South, and with the elders making preparations, traveling together would be too much of a fuss. They would probably be detected by Taiyuan long ago and stopped before they even got here.
On the contrary, only the remnants of the Wang family mentioned by the disciple Yu Ke, Wang Yuexun, who escaped the calamity back then, could have been guided to this extremely secluded place.
"I initially guessed that after the two of them escaped, they went to join the Taiyuan Sect. Now that Wang Yuexun is being hunted down by Taiyuan disciples, could it be that she has learned some secret that cannot be told to outsiders?"
Zhao Chun narrowed her eyes, her curiosity growing. She took a step forward and sensed that the residual true energy aura in front of her was much stronger than that around her, indicating that someone had made some moves here, but she wondered what it was for.
She leaped forward, only to abruptly halt when she encountered an invisible barrier, thinking to herself, "Just as I thought." As a crucial point in the formation, how could it be undefended? Wang Yuexun had left behind a considerable amount of true energy here; she must have bumped into this barrier and tested it several times to see if she could break through it.
"That's strange. If she knew this was the core of the formation, she should have known that it couldn't be destroyed by ordinary means."
Zhao Chun raised her palm and pressed it against the barrier. In an instant, all that touched her palm was a layer of water, which was extremely soft.
But as soon as she exerted her strength, an extremely powerful repulsive force immediately pushed her out of the water. The force was so strong that even a cultivator at the Divine Realm couldn't maintain his balance!
Wang Yuexun's breath stopped right there.
Zhao Chun lowered her hand and peered to the side again, finding it strange that the person's aura only concentrated there before disappearing. If Wang Yuexun had failed in her test and returned, the aura from the way she came was clearly weaker than here. Therefore, it's more likely that she truly found a way to enter the array's core and is now inside.
"From this perspective, even if she didn't know this place was the core of the formation, she definitely came here for this reason!"
Zhao Chun made a hand seal and summoned the Seven Star Ruler again. This time, she held it with her right hand and waved her left hand forward, causing the barrier blocking her way to ripple from the inside out.
Sensing signs that the inner and outer mechanisms were gradually communicating with each other, Zhao Chun was overjoyed and thought to herself, "Fortunately, it's useful, otherwise I would have had to rack my brains over this."
He then put away the mysterious object, stepped inside, and in an instant, countless lights and shadows blurred and changed. The water that had previously trapped him was now outside, and within the barrier, there was another completely independent place!
Zhao Chun stood there, and even though she was already on guard, the scene that appeared before her still surprised her greatly.
In the distance, countless green mountains rise endlessly, their peaks dotted with palaces and pavilions, while white clouds seem to encircle them, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of celestial palaces and divine abodes. Below, a dense network of rivers crisscrosses the landscape, their ceaseless flow impossible to discern with the naked eye. Only vast plains and towering, continuous walls hint at a bygone era of prosperity.
In an instant, Zhao Chun had a sudden realization and knew exactly what kind of place this was, which Zhu Yu called the "eye of the formation".
The ruins of the Zhou Yuan Array Sect, which collapsed and was destroyed overnight, have always been beneath the East China Sea!
No wonder Yan Yishen has been searching for this place for many years without success. There is a forbidden array blocking the way outside, and it is occupied by the East Sea demons. Without the guidance of the Seven Star Ruler, how could anyone else find it?
It is likely that Taiyuan also occupied this old site, which allowed the Three Lights Manifestation Array to reappear in the world.
But who could have imagined that Zhao Chun would possess a mysterious artifact left behind by Zhou Yuanzhen Sect?
She calmed herself down and didn't make any move for a moment. Instead, she carefully explored the surrounding area. Once she had a clear idea of what was going on, she chose a direction and flew forward.
At this moment, inside the old site of Zhou Yuan Array Sect, a figure was also searching. Judging from her tightly furrowed brows and the fine sweat on her forehead, it was clear that this person's mind was not at peace.
From the moment she entered this place, Wang Yuexun vaguely sensed that the true purpose of the Taiyuan Dao Sect in spending so much manpower and resources to monopolize the entire East China Sea was probably this unknown old site of the sect.
However, she was weak, and after the destruction of the Changwu Wang clan, only Wang Fengyan and she were left to depend on each other. Now that she had learned of such an important matter, she knew without thinking that Taiyuan would not let the two of them go.
"Elder Fengyan clearly said that the place to save lives is right here, so why is the furnace not responding again!" Wang Yuexun was sweating profusely, gripping the cauldron tightly in her hands, unaware that someone was rapidly approaching.
Suddenly, a cold light pierced through the palace gate and landed half a foot in front of Wang Yuexun. She looked up abruptly, and upon recognizing the person before her, she involuntarily took two steps back, her heart pounding with shock: "How could it be you!"
For her, she probably never expected Zhao Chun to appear here, even if she racked her brains. After all, the two had only briefly crossed paths within the sect, and now they had not seen each other for hundreds of years, and their situations were worlds apart.
What's more, the other party was the real culprit who killed her own sister!
Wang Yuexun gritted her teeth inwardly, knowing that the person in front of her was not like the other Zhaoyan disciples she had encountered before. Even if she had a thousand tricks up her sleeve, she would probably have a hard time escaping from his hands. So she said, "It is my bad luck to have met you today. I never thought that my sister and I would both die at the hands of one person. I wonder if this can be considered as fate between me and Sister Fu."
An overwhelming sadness welled up in her eyes, but Zhao Chun remained unmoved, her gaze fixed firmly on the other woman's hand—
Heaven and Earth Furnace!
Wang Yuexun also possessed such a strange object!
Therefore, it's not surprising that she was able to enter the ruins of the Array Sect. (End of Chapter)
