Exploration results

This is indeed a grand event that everyone is looking forward to.

In every sense.

It has the specifications of a grand event, the number of people attending the grand event, and the expectations that a grand event should have.

When the Xingyue Qiankun Instrument was activated, the air pressure in the entire Eastern Region sank, like the eve of a late summer rainstorm. The clouds rolled, and the low-level monks who didn't know what was going on looked up at the sky with astonishment on their faces.

What a rich spiritual energy!

It has a strong presence, like a huge pot lid on the head, pressing down on people's heads.

Could it be that some powerful person is going through a tribulation?

But no matter how powerful a powerful person is, the movement caused by the tribulation cannot affect the entire Eastern Region!

I wanted to take a closer look, but suddenly a huge sphere like an eyeball appeared in the sky.

The strange lines of the sphere crisscrossed and rotated in the sky, giving people a clear sense of scrutiny.

The crowd let out a rising and falling cry of surprise, accompanied by commotion. The "eyeball" looked at the fleeing crowd and turned a blind eye, and soon closed in the sky.

Such scenes occurred in various states and islands in the Eastern Region.

On the top of Mount Buzhou, the spiritual energy here was dense and agitated because of the gathering of powerful people to cast spells. Fortunately, there were two supreme masters who took action to control it, and everything was still under control.

With the Qiankun Instrument as the center of the circle, there were high-level families within a radius of one kilometer. They either picked up a cloud or sat on flying instruments of various shapes. They all looked at the men and women above the Qiankun Instrument with a focused expression, and whispered one or two words of discussion from time to time.

"An incense stick of time has passed. Have we almost finished exploring the Eastern Region, or are there still no results?"

"Tsk, do you think the Sixth Region is your front door and you can search for it whenever you want? You also know that only an incense stick of time has passed. What can be done in an incense stick of time?" "

...You can still do a lot. It's enough to hold a meeting, get a scolding, or scold someone else."

"Maybe we started too hastily. We should prepare for a while longer. The artifacts also need to be tested first."

"Too hasty? Oh, you mean to test it slowly until the army of monsters attacks, then you won't be in a hurry, right?"

Qin Wenxuan heard these fragmented sounds in her ears, which were a bit noisy and made her feel annoyed for no reason. Grandmaster Minghua stood next to her.

Qin Wenxuan asked, "Grandmaster, where has Qingqing explored so far?"

This is the question that everyone is most curious about.

But apart from Qin Ruqing and Tang Zifeng, there are several grandmasters who participated in refining the weapon, so no one should be able to tell. Grandmaster

Minghua raised his hand, pointed to the glowing line on the rotating sphere and said, "Do you see that line? That is the direction that Elder Ruqing is exploring."

Qin Wenxuan squinted and took a closer look, and was surprised to find that if you consciously pass over the array pattern engraved on the sphere, the remaining lines actually look like a map of the four regions.

So, the place where the line lights up is the place that Qingqing explored?

As the Qin family is now a golden family in the Eastern Region, it is natural that they have a precise map of the Eastern Region. Qin Wenxuan compared the glowing line with the map in her memory and came to a conclusion.

"She is now in the west of Shangzhou?"

Minghua hummed, "With Buzhou Mountain as the center, she has reached the west of Shangzhou."

"So fast." Qin Wenxuan frowned.

The topographic map of the Eastern Region is equivalent to a circle, with Buzhou Mountain as the center. Expanding outward, in order, are Buzhou Island, Yingzhou, Shangzhou, Nanpingzhou, and the rest are sea areas and scattered islands on the sea.

In just one stick of incense, Qingqing had already explored Shangzhou, which is already most of the territory of the Eastern Region, but Qingqing had no reaction, which shows that she has gained nothing so far.

Qin Wenxuan's conversation with Grandmaster Minghua was not concealed. Feng Qinxue, who was sitting on a flying sword not far away, listened to the voices of the crowd, looked in this direction, and suddenly said loudly:

"Don't worry, Grandmaster Wenxuan. Since ancient times, the secret realms of the Eastern Region have mostly appeared on the sea. The land is densely populated, so it is normal to gain nothing."

"Yeah." Qin Wenxuan responded deeply, knowing that Feng Qinxue was trying to calm people's hearts.

She couldn't help but look at Qin Ruqing.

As the ancestor of the Qin family, even if she didn't participate in this incident, she couldn't help but bear some pressure.

What about Qingqing?

As the core force in exploring the sixth domain, how much pressure does Qingqing bear?

If Qin Ruqing could respond, she would say that she didn't feel any pressure.

Of course, this is not because she has a strong ability to withstand pressure, but because she is now in a very mysterious state.

If I have to describe it, it is roughly that her "eyes", "brain" and "hands" are separated from each other.

After Tang Zifeng's spiritual thoughts merged with her, she was indirectly connected to the artifact. The artifact became her eyes.

So the "eyes" became independent and became her probe to explore the sixth domain.

Her "brain" is not quite right now.

Half of it is used to give instructions to Tang Zifeng. After all, the control part of the artifact is handled by Xiao Tang, and she doesn't understand it at all.

The other half is used to think, to control the Tao body, to carefully perceive the location of the sixth domain, and to analyze and feedback the pictures sent by the "eyes".

After her brain has analyzed the results, she will pass the instructions to Xiao Tang, who will then control the artifact and move the probe to other places along the map on the artifact.

This is the work of the "hand".

But this hand is not Qin Ruqing's own hand.

The three ports that require precise operation are completely independent and separated, but Qin Ruqing is indispensable.

She is not mentally confused, and can coordinate all parties. This is thanks to her good foundation laid by her usual multi-purpose thinking. But if she has to spend any more mental pressure thinking, it will be really difficult for Qin Ruqing.

In order to ensure the precision and accuracy of the operation, she even deliberately abandoned her emotions and took the initiative to make herself an instrument with an omniscient perspective that only performs operations.

Qin Ruqing mechanically and indifferently examined the four domains, trying to sense the fluctuations of the otherworldly space through the laws and the Tao body.

In this way, she even discovered some unearthed secret realms of all sizes. But there was no sixth domain.

At the end of the East Domain, Qin Ruqing had no emotional fluctuations, and did not even pause. She directly moved her "sight" down to the South Domain, which she was most familiar with.

There was nothing in the southern region, so she let the "eyeball" rotate clockwise, starting to the west and finally to the north.

By the time it got dark, she had already turned around all four regions.

Nothing was gained.

Qin Ruqing couldn't sense the time, she didn't know that the sky of Buzhou Mountain had already darkened. Even because of the high terrain, the stars seemed to be hanging above their heads.

Everyone felt tired.

It was normal for the powerful people headed by the two Supremes who supplied energy to the Xingyue Qiankun Instrument to feel tired.

After exploring the four regions, each of them transferred at least two cycles of energy into the Qiankun Instrument, and the Supreme who dominated and controlled everything would only transfer more.

Their fatigue was a physiological fatigue caused by the depletion of spiritual energy.

These people who did not participate in the operation of the artifact, or even the rotation of people supplying the artifact, were actually tired.

It was the saturated expectations that were forced to pour out;

and could not help rising; and

pouring out again.

The fatigue rooted in the soul caused by the complicated pulling of the spirit.

From the fragmented morning light on the top of Buzhou Mountain to now when they were counting the stars with their eyes wide open, this whole day was enough for them to understand the operating mechanism of the Xingyue Qiankun Instrument.

The mysterious lines on the Qiankun Instrument are the map of the four domains - otherwise how can it be called Qiankun?

Whichever line lights up represents where Qin Ruqing has explored.

They were full of expectations at the beginning, and finally watched the lines go around from the East Domain and return to the East Domain.

Qin Ruqing did not stop. That means there is no gain.

Feng Qinxue and Diwusheng said some words to reassure people at first, but later, they also fell silent.

It seemed that Qin Ruqing also sensed this unbearable silence, and she suddenly opened her eyes.

The calm dead water stirred up thousands of waves. Qin Ruqing was surrounded by people in an instant.

Qin Ruqing did not look at them, but only looked at Tang Zifeng who was against his palm. His eyes were still closed, and his handsome face was like a finely carved statue.

Qin Ruqing stared for a while, frowned and said: "Tang Zifeng, retreat! Your mental strength has been extremely exhausted!"

Although Tang Zifeng still closed his eyes, he could see that his eyeballs under his eyelids moved.

"Today, even if you use up all your mental power, you still can't find the Sixth Domain. I said so." Qin Ruqing was calm and indifferent.

This indifferent attitude was not only directed at Tang Zifeng, but also at the onlookers.

I said so, like an announcement - the Sixth Domain cannot be found. At least not today.

The crowd roared, and the dark golden Star Meteor Qiankun Instrument slowly stopped. The powerful people who were transmitting energy to the Qiankun Instrument all withdrew their hands, frowning, and some even sighed.

Tang Zifeng also opened his eyes.

He looked at Qin Ruqing in a complicated way. Under normal circumstances, Qin Ruqing might not be able to accurately understand his meaning, but now, after countless exchanges with Tang Zifeng's mind, Qin Ruqing, who already knew his eyes and thoughts very well, could understand his meaning at a glance.

——The action failed.

——How are you going to bear the consequences of many people's disappointment?

Tang Zifeng's stubbornness came from a kind of worry.

He seemed to think that if he could hold on for one more second, the judgment that Qin Ruqing would face would be delayed by one minute.

Then, it was worthwhile for him to waste his strength.

Qin Ruqing smiled at Tang Zifeng, and before her spiritual thoughts were cut off, she said, "Why do you think that I am so weak-minded that I would be responsible for the disappointment of these people?"

Her voice was calm and clear, and inexplicably soothing.

"Their disappointment is their business. This is not my failure alone, but the failure of everyone. If anyone can't bear it, just end it yourself. The world of immortal cultivation doesn't lack such a person."

Tang Zifeng's dark eyes moved.

Qin Ruqing had completely cut off the spiritual thoughts at this time. She stood up and jumped down from the Xingyue Qiankun Instrument.

Those who had opened their mouths to ask her questions were forced to stop and could only follow her to the ground.

With such an interruption, the urgent emotions in their hearts also calmed down.

Feng Taishang, who had been transferring energy for a day, pinched his temples, walked over and asked Qin Ruqing: "Girl, tell me the result?"

Countless burning and expectant eyes fell on her face. Qin Ruqing spread her hands and shook her head:

"I can't find it."

"No trace of the sixth domain was found."

Although everyone had already guessed about this, when this result really came out, their hearts were still like being hit by a heavy drum.

"How could it be so?!"

"The artifact that gathered half of the resources of the cultivation world can't even find the sixth domain like this?"

"Is it because the artifact is missing two heavenly thunders?"

"Or you missed it and missed it!"

"..."

They had too many questions, and Qin Ruqing couldn't find a chance to explain. In the eyes of some people, her silence seemed to be a guilty conscience. This ignited the anger in their hearts.

Of course, someone has to pay for the failure of the mission - at least pay for their anger and dissatisfaction.

Not surprisingly, that person turned out to be Qin Ruqing.

Someone in the crowd finally couldn't hold back and asked sharply.

"Why doesn't the Sixth Elder say anything? You were so confident and encouraged all of us to look for the Sixth Domain. We had such high expectations that we didn't dare to delay the creation of the artifact even when there were frequent beast waves and personnel shortages. But now you

just dismissed us with a casual statement that we couldn't find it. Are you being fair to us?" Qin Ruqing's eyes swept over the place. She looked at the person who spoke, her eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze sharp and piercing.

"Should I mobilize you to search for the Sixth Domain, or should you mobilize me--" Qin Ruqing put emphasis on the word "I", "Elder, you must think clearly about the order of the two." Her

light and floating tone, coupled with the lotus totem that gradually appeared on her forehead, inexplicably made people feel cold in their hearts, and they were unconsciously shocked by her aura.

"Finding the Sixth Domain is not my responsibility alone, and the failure now is not my failure alone. What we need to do is to find the cause and try to remedy it, rather than transfer our anger and blame here."

Qingling's eyes slowly swept over the group of people, "Of course, if anyone really thinks that the failure of this operation is entirely my fault, I will withdraw from this operation without saying a word, and will no longer ask about anything related to the Sixth Domain from now on..."

These words are extremely serious.

The elder finally realized something, his face darkened, and he closed his mouth tightly.

As for the others, those who also transferred their anger to Qin Ruqing for this failure, but who had not yet had the chance to open their mouths to blame, were awakened with a startle as if a basin of ice water was splashed on them in the cold winter.

...They forgot that, whether they succeed or fail, it was they who begged Qin Ruqing, not Qin Ruqing who begged them.

Who needs whom? Everyone should weigh it clearly.

In an awkward silence, Feng Taishang spoke. She didn't care, and she had enough authority to decide this storm.

With lightning speed, a strong wind blew out from her sleeves, directly knocking away the elder who first questioned Qin Ruqing. He flew several feet away, then fell heavily to the square, and rolled forward a distance, almost falling directly from the ladder to heaven on Mount Buzhou.

The Supreme Lord had an extremely dignified expression, and he shouted loudly:

"Fools! You are short-sighted and disturb people's hearts. How dare you stand on the top of Buzhou Mountain? Get off now!"

The Fifth Supreme Lord, who was practicing the Way of Origin and Life with a sense of pity for the world, also became surprisingly serious. He nodded slowly and agreed with Feng Supreme Lord: "This person's words and deeds are inappropriate and he is not worthy of the position of elder. He will not have to come up from Buzhou Mountain in the future."

With just one sentence, he decided the fate of this person in the future. After saying that, he waved his sleeves, and the identity token of that person was summoned into the hands of the Supreme Lord, and he was annihilated into ashes in the next breath.

The thunderous moves of the two Supreme Lords made everyone understand their attitudes, and they were silent for a while.

That idiot had such a fate, just because he was the first to speak out, and was punished by the Supreme to serve as a warning to others.

With him as an example, no matter how stupid the people behind him are, they will weigh their words.

After the man rolled down the ladder with a look of death, the Fifth Supreme turned to look at Qin Ruqing. Her eyes were deep, as if thousands of stars were flowing, and she asked:

"If the Sixth Domain cannot be found in the Four Domains, then, what about Penglai?"

The Sixth Domain is called the Sixth Domain because Penglai is the legendary Fifth Domain.

The residence of immortals.

Penglai is a sacred mountain with a vast and strange interior space. If it cannot be found in the conventional four domains, what about the interior of the sacred mountain?

It must be said that the words of the Fifth Supreme gave everyone a new idea.

The candle flame that was originally extinguished seemed to have signs of rekindling.

They looked at Qin Ruqing expectantly, including the two Supremes.

Qin Ruqing was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Ruqing is willing to try again. However, my intuition tells me that the hope of finding it is not great."

She already had a bad premonition when the four domains had not been searched yet.

She felt that this operation might fail.

As for the reason for the failure - it was not because of her negligence, not because the artifact was missing two thunders, and not because the energy output of the great powers was not enough.

But it really couldn't be found.

The problem has to go back to the core essence -

the so-called sixth domain mentioned by the two Taoist masters, the legend of the cultivation world, the dream of all people, does it really exist?
