Unorthodox methods, cultivating immortality relies on rich women

Chapter 181 Ancient Kunlun

As the images on the projected screen flowed, the three-dimensional model instantly came to life.

Above the sky are the star orbits of the twenty-four solar terms, deconstructed from the Ant Hole Star Chart. The handle of the Big Dipper slowly rotates with the solar terms, and every 15° rotation, the star divisions on the sky are recalibrated.

Above the ground, the geodetic layers projected by the gold-plated star mirror overlap with the mountains and rivers of modern high-definition satellite maps.

The terrain overlaps, and with each rotation of the star orbit, the coordinates of the map are slightly adjusted.

The power of modern technology was on full display at this moment.

The gods in mythology are probably no different; they've simply transformed from individual power into collective power.

In just a few dozen seconds, as the last set of star trails perfectly aligned with the location of the Great Snow solar term, twenty-four striking red dots suddenly lit up on the 3D map, like twenty-four star nails driven into the land of China.

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it.

The distribution of those light spots was far wider than anyone had expected.

Some are hidden deep in the primeval forests of the Hengduan Mountains in Southwest China, where the forests are vast and the human footprints are few and far between.

Some are nestled atop snow-capped peaks in the Kunlun Mountains of Northwest China, covered by glaciers, in a high-altitude, frigid, and extremely dangerous environment.

Some land in the distant waters of the East China Sea and the South China Sea, where beneath the vast blue waves lie bottomless trenches.

Others are hidden in the mountains of the Central Plains, in the depths of the waters of Jiangnan, and in the deserts of the North, covering almost the entire territory of China.

"Twenty-four—a full twenty-four points!" Professor Gu adjusted his glasses.

"Corresponding to the twenty-four solar terms, the twenty-four mountain directions, and the twenty-eight constellations of the Zhou Tian—Emperor Zhuanxu's star map did not determine the solar terms of a year at all, but rather the coordinates of the entire Nine Provinces."

Old Chen stared wide-eyed, hissing in the cold air, and moved closer to Shen Qingzhou, muttering to himself for a long time, but it was unclear what he was saying.

Shen Qingzhou didn't reply, but looked at Bai Yukui's ear.

Because the curtains were drawn, the office was dimly lit, so no one noticed that Bai Yukui had a miniature Bluetooth earphone in her ear.

She lowered her eyes, looking at the dense dots of light on the projection screen, her thin lips slightly parted as if she were giving instructions in a low voice, speaking very quickly.

Almost the instant she finished speaking, the 3D map on the projected screen changed again.

Next to each red dot, a label popped up instantly. These were not modern place names, but names that only existed in ancient myths, the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and pre-Qin ancient books.

—The land of Kongsang, the Jiuyi Mountains, the wilderness of Cangwu, the remnants of Buzhou Mountain, the Guixu Sea Eye, and the Yunmeng Ancient Marsh—names that had only been heard of in legends corresponded one by one with real geographical locations, making everyone present hold their breath.

The most striking and largest red dot was located on Mount Wawu, on the western edge of the Sichuan Basin.

The label next to the spot of light, just five words long, struck like a thunderbolt, leaving everyone stunned in place.

【Ancient Kunlun Ruins】.

"Wawu Mountain — Kunlun Ruins?"

Professor Gu's eyes widened suddenly, and he cried out in surprise.

"Yes, that's right. Modern historians and geographers have verified that the geographical location of Wawu Mountain and its flat-topped table mountain landform perfectly match the description in the Classic of Mountains and Seas of Kunlun, which is 800 li square and 10,000 ren high. It was the center of the world in ancient times, and it was also the sacred mountain where Emperor Zhuanxu severed the connection between heaven and earth."

His fingers trembled with excitement as he pointed to the outline of Wawu Mountain on the projection screen, his voice shaking: "Look at these sheer cliffs on all four sides, the flat top like a platform, perfectly matching the ancient description of Kunlun as 'square and high'; surrounded by the Chishui and Heishui rivers, the Mandarin Duck Pool on the mountaintop corresponds to Kunlun Tianchi (Heavenly Pool of Kunlun), even on the Ming Dynasty's 'Complete Map of the World', the location marked with the words 'Kunlun' is this area southwest of Chengdu—"

Bai Yukui raised her eyes, her gaze seemingly unsurprised.

"Quite a few people have explored this place."

The legend that Wawu Mountain is Kunlunxu has been verified by many historians even without the "Ant Hole Star Map," which naturally attracts many people to go and explore it.

This includes various forces within the Immortal Seeking Society, including the Bai family.

Unfortunately, everyone gained nothing.

Moreover, Wawu Mountain has long been a tourist attraction, with throngs of visitors every day, and no one has been heard of discovering anything.

Therefore, if there is anything different about this exploration of Wawu Mountain, it is definitely Shen Qingzhou.

I hope he can give me a surprise.

Thinking of this, she turned to look at Shen Qingzhou, only to see him staring at the projection screen, his brows furrowed as if deep in thought.

So I stopped paying attention to him and prepared to have a good talk with him later.

At this moment, Shen Qingzhou, looking at the marked dots on the projection screen, felt his heart surge with excitement: Kunlun Ruins, the Road to Heaven, the Art of Immortality—

This was much more fun than he had expected.

He had long harbored the idea of ​​exploring these ancient mythical lands, but he had never been able to go.

On the one hand, the conditions did not allow it, and on the other hand, time did not allow it, so the matter was delayed.

This is a great opportunity.

Just then, Bai Yukui suddenly turned off the projection, and Ma Chenggang also opened the curtains at the right time, allowing the midday sun to shine in again through the huge French windows.

Everyone felt somewhat dazed, as if they had just had a dream that didn't quite feel real.

Bai Yukui clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention and then said, "Alright, now our destination is Wawu Mountain. If you need anything, just tell me and I'll prepare it for you."

"Are those two coming into the mountains with us too?" Shen Qingzhou asked Old Man Chen and Professor Gu.

Upon hearing this, Professor Gu merely glanced at Shen Qingzhou, a faint smile still on his face, seemingly unconcerned by Shen Qingzhou's words.

Old Chen glared at him with his bull-like eyes and said, "You little brat, what do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean? You think you're too old? Do you think this is a picnic? Bringing you two old guys along will only be a burden." Shen Qingzhou was quite blunt.

Old Chen was about to speak in his defense when Bai Yukui stopped him with a gesture.

"There will definitely be more than just us going into the mountains this time. There will be people specifically looking after them, and Mr. Chen has a wealth of wilderness survival experience."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingzhou looked at Old Man Chen with some surprise.

Old Chen raised an eyebrow smugly upon hearing this. "Otherwise, do you think all those materials you buy from me come from somewhere, that they just grow out of thin air in my yard?"

Shen Qingzhou's expression was somewhat strange. "I thought you collected them all yourself. But you don't happen to be a tomb raider on the side, do you?"

""

"You—you're talking nonsense. What era are we living in? Grave robbing is illegal," Old Man Chen argued.

"Tomb raiding has always been illegal, yet people still do it."

Old Chen wanted to say something more, but seeing Shen Qingzhou's gaze shift away from him, he muttered a few words of explanation and then fell silent.

Seeing his appearance, everyone present realized what had happened; it seemed he really had done it.

Seeing Shen Qingzhou looking at him, Professor Gu pushed up his glasses and chuckled, "I'm an expert in classical Chinese literature. You'll definitely find something useful to me on this trip."

Actually, Shen Qingzhou didn't think so, but since Bai Yukui had no objection, he couldn't very well voice his opposition.

Bai Yukui looked at Professor Gu with a rather indifferent expression and said, "You can inform your friends and tell them to prepare. We can leave at any time."

"it is good."

Professor Gu didn't care about Bai Yukui's attitude and simply responded.

After Bai Yukui finished speaking, she told everyone to make preparations, and then walked alone towards Shen Qingzhou.
