One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 40: Seven Stars as Key to the Secret Palace
Xun Lanyin took out another piece of paper and started drawing quickly.

When she finished the painting, the picture was just as Zhao Fuyun had imagined, with mountains surrounding it and a lake in the middle.

Because the mountain was changed, the water in the lake flowed outward and became a river.

"This is a Bagua formation!" Zhao Fuyun moved closer, smelled the faint fragrance on Xun Lanyin's body, and said affirmatively.

"Be more specific, what is the Bagua Formation?" Xun Lanyin asked.

Mi Fu, Yang Liuqing, Wen Bo and Wen Xun looked at the messy dots and lines on the paper. After hearing what Zhao Fuyun said about the Bagua Formation, they still couldn't tell how this looked like a Bagua Formation.

"Qi Men Bagua, while this formation is still there, we should be able to get back to the lake in one step from anywhere in this mountain. There must be a cave world in the lake." Zhao Fuyun said affirmatively. After he realized that this was a Qi Men Bagua, he was certain in his heart.

"Yes, it can be seen that this is the Qimen Bagua, which is very good. But now the Bagua formation has been broken because of the shifting of mountains and rivers, and the cave inside is also closed. How do you think it can be opened?" Xun Lanyin stared at the drawing and asked without raising her head. She was obviously also thinking about how to open this formation.

"The Seven Star Formation is among the ten major formations, and it is said to be the key to the formation. In addition, if the painting that Master Xun obtained from the jade bed before is regarded as the Seven Star Formation, then it is very likely that the Seven Star Formation is the way to open the cave heaven." Zhao Fuyun said.

"Well, where do you think it will be?" Xun Lanyin's eyes wandered across the drawing.

In Zhao Fuyun's mind, if he couldn't find a place to set up the formation on the ground, he would set up the formation directly in the air and drop it from the sky.

"Master Xun has already made the decision, hasn't he?" After Zhao Fuyun finished speaking, Xun Lanyin slapped the blueprint with her hand, stood up, and said, "Let's decide it this way, so as to avoid any more trouble. Three days later, the seven stars will be the key to break the eight trigrams and open the cave."

The others were still confused. They couldn't see the Bagua Formation, and didn't know where to set up the Seven Star Formation, but Zhao Fuyun and Xun Lanyin seemed to have discussed it in front of them.

Yet they participated in the entire process without understanding it at all.

Time flies. The three days are actually a period for everyone to adjust their state.

It was just in the early morning of the third day that the sky was filled with stars.

The sky is cloudless and moonless, and the stars are shining brightly.

No one thought that Xun Lanyin was lucky to have encountered this starry day, but rather that she had already realized that this was a good day with a sky full of stars.

Zhao Fuyun was standing on the hillside, watching Xun Lanyin flying into the sky. He reached into his sleeve and grabbed seven small flags in his hand.

When those small flags appeared, they seemed to be connected with the stars in the sky.

On the surface of the small flag, there seemed to be starlight dripping like water.

Xun Lanyin separated a small flag and flew towards the starry sky, disappearing into nothingness. Looking up, one could vaguely see a little starlight gathering in the sky.

Then another small flag flew into the sky and disappeared into nothingness.

Zhao Fuyun saw that the place where the starlight in the sky gathered was much closer to the ground.

Then the third small flag was waved into the sky, leading the starlight to fall like a staircase. He could see that it started with Yaoguang, followed by Kaiyang, Yuheng, Tianquan, Tianji and Tianxuan.

One flag after another was thrown into the void and then disappeared, leaving only a scene of rapidly gathering starlight.

It’s the last step. Xun Lanyin stands in the void, above the foggy river, surrounded by brilliant starlight, like a goddess.

"The seven stars are the key, and Tianshu opens the secret door."

As Xun Lanyin's spell fell, the last Tianshu flag actually plunged into the water. The Tianshu flag unfolded in the water, and it turned out to be a huge star flag. The starlight fell layer by layer, forming a spoon protruding into the water, and it also looked like a key.

The Tianshu flag in the water turned into a starlight that blossomed in the water. From under the nine heavens, layers of starlight fell into the water.

The water slowly changed color, and it seemed as if the water was not water at all. The dark water seemed to have become the starry sky under the starlight.

Under the shining starlight, a faint door appeared in the water.

The gate was not very big, it looked like a painting in the water, floating with the waves, as if it was in the water.

At this moment, Xun Lanyin showed surprise on her face and said, "This cave really exists. Great, who among you is willing to follow me in?"

Xun Lanyin stood above the foggy river, looking at the five people, but the five people did not answer for a moment.

"I don't know the dangers of this cave, and I can't guarantee your safety, but opportunities are rare." Xun Lanyin said.

"Disciple is willing to go."

"Disciple is willing to go."

Except Zhao Fuyun, the other four were willing to go in.

After Xun Lanyin glanced at Zhao Fuyun, she said, "You don't want to go in?"

Without waiting for Zhao Fuyun to speak, she said, "Afraid? Look at you. What good things do you have on you? You don't even have a decent magic weapon. When you build your foundation, what can you use to refine magic weapons? Without magic weapons, how can you fight with others? If you don't have magic weapons, even if you are at a high level, you can easily be killed by others with magic weapons."

"Look at them. They haven't even reached the stage of building a foundation yet, but they are already working hard for the cultivation resources needed for building a foundation. Let's go. If we have to die, let's die together in there. If I, a Purple Mansion cultivator, can die, why can't you, a Mysterious Light cultivator, die?"

After hearing what she said, Zhao Fuyun thought about it for a while and said, "If that's the case, then I'll go with Master Xun."

"No, you have to understand that you are not accompanying me, but earning opportunities for yourself. Everyone here is our fellow disciple. It is not like exploring secrets with other cultivators you don't know. You don't have to be wary of your fellow travelers. But if you want to gain something, you need to go there in person."

"Okay, then disciple, I will follow Master Xun in to earn some opportunity." Zhao Fuyun said.

"Well, do you need to prepare anything?" Xun Lanyin asked again.

The others answered no, saying they had everything they had with them, but Zhao Fuyun thought about it, went back to the temple and took a lamp in his hand.

He felt that having a lamp in hand would make it much easier for him to perform fire magic, but as for the statue, he did not bring it with him.

Now he is able to call upon the gods with just a thought, and no longer needs to use the jujube wood statue as a medium.

"Everything is ready, let's go." Xun Lanyin seemed to be able to borrow the star power of the Seven Star Formation. With a wave of her hand, she actually put the five people in it and lifted them up. The five people seemed to have turned into rays of starlight, and were pulled by the starlight differentiated from Xun Lanyin's body and thrown into the portal in the water.

Zhao Fuyun only felt that the starlight in his eyes was so strong that it dazzled him. Then he couldn't help falling into the water like a fallen leaf, and then, with the help of a force, he entered a door.

As his feet felt solid, Zhao Fuyun felt a darkness in front of his eyes, and the lamp in his hand became the only source of light. However, soon, light appeared in the hands of other people as well.

They are all spiritual objects such as night-shining pearls that are refined into magical instruments for lighting.

Xun Lanyin held the Xuanyuan Sheshui Flag in her hand, which emitted a bright light. When she waved it, it dispelled the darkness.

　I feel like I have triple yang, my throat hurts, and I feel dizzy.
