Chapter 293 This damn place has no place to stay
"Wait a minute." Chu Xuanyi interrupted Ajiu, "You said that the center of the observatory is a stone platform engraved with a star map, and that around the stone platform stand several giant bronze pillars engraved with patterns of mountains and rivers."
"Yes." Jiu nodded.
Chu Xuanyi's breathing became rapid, and a guess that he had always thought was absurd popped out uncontrollably from the depths of his memory.
"The stars represent the heaven and earth, and their vehicle."
"Use the geomancy formation to lock the position of the stars." He recited it subconsciously.
Xiao Yu's gaze instantly turned to him, "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is..." Chu Xuanyi's lips felt a little dry.
"We may have been wrong from the beginning. Although the Tianshu Observatory is suspended in the sky, there may be some mysterious connection between it and the land beneath our feet that we cannot understand."
"Even..." He swallowed hard and said.
"It may have a corresponding 'array eye' or 'coordinate' on the ground, and that coordinate is the only key to locate and unlock this observatory."
As soon as the words fell, the three people's eyes once again turned to the tattered animal skin map.
If the star map on the map is the "blueprint" of the observatory, then this incomplete topographic map is likely to be its "address".
"Quick, bring over the most detailed geomancy map of the Nine Provinces of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Chu Xuanyi immediately took out a map scroll from the secret compartment of the bookshelf and quickly spread it out on the ground, allowing him to see the vast mountains and rivers of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Xiao Yu squatted down and placed the tattered animal skin map on the huge feng shui map.
Time passes by every second.
Ajiu, who had been squatting quietly nearby, suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed at a place on the feng shui map that was marked as a dark red "extremely dangerous" area, and then pointed at the blurred lines on the animal skin map.
"Brother Xiongxiong, they look exactly the same."
Xiao Yu and Chu Xuanyi's eyes instantly focused on that point. It was a mountain range with extremely steep and complex terrain. Looking at the map, it looked like the spine of a giant dragon that was cut in half.
And next to that area were three big words clearly marked.
Broken Dragon Cliff.
Xiao Yu slowly covered the animal skin map over the area of "Broken Dragon Cliff".
Those blurred lines that originally seemed to be irregular and chaotic actually overlapped perfectly with the direction of the mountain ranges in Broken Dragon Cliff, without any error.
Chu Xuanyi was so excited that he almost jumped up, "Broken Dragon Cliff, it turned out to be that damn place called Broken Dragon Cliff."
"I told you, I told you there must be an address on this crappy map." He was so excited that he was incoherent.
Xiao Yu was much calmer than him. He stood up and looked down at the location on the map.
Broken Dragon Cliff is the most precipitous and inaccessible forbidden area within the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is perpetually shrouded in black thunderclouds and invisible spatial turbulence. Legend has it that even the most advanced Xuanmen cultivators face certain death if they venture into it.
Mortals will die if they touch it, so it is called "Broken Dragon".
Xiao Yu turned and walked out of the study, "Let's go."
Chu Xuanyi was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and quickly followed.
"Hey, hey, hey, my lord, wait for me."
"You can't just go to that damn place called Broken Dragon Cliff."
"We have to prepare anyway."
"Just barging in without anything is like committing suicide."
"Someone come here." Xiao Yu shouted coldly.
The secret guard of the Regent's Palace appeared silently in front of Xiao Yu and knelt on one knee.
"Pass the order down. Block off the area within a hundred miles of Broken Dragon Cliff within a quarter of an hour and eliminate all possible outsiders."
"Anyone who dares to approach will be killed without mercy."
"Yes." The secret guard responded in a deep voice.
…
Broken Dragon Cliff.
Just hearing the name gives me a chill down the back of my neck.
This is indeed the case.
When Xiao Yu, Ajiu and Chu Xuanyi stood on the edge of this forbidden area, they realized how realistic the words "extremely dangerous" on the map were.
The sky looked as if someone had poured a large basin of thick ink over it. The dark clouds were so low that they seemed to be within reach. There was no rain in the clouds, but countless dark purple lightning bolts intertwined like a dense spider web, and from time to time there was a dull rumble of thunder. The sound didn't sound like it was exploding in the sky, but rather like it was hitting someone directly in the heart, shaking their internal organs.
"Oh my God." Chu Xuanyi shrank his neck and wrapped his priceless brocade robe tighter. "Why is the thunder in this place striking like it's free?"
While muttering, he took out three yellow talismans from his sleeve, muttered something, and then slapped them on the three people.
"Your Highness, Ah Jiu, this is a lightning protection talisman. Although it may not be able to block that kind of thunder, it can at least prevent us from being struck by lightning."
Ajiu curiously touched the talisman paper on his shoulder. The cinnabar patterns on the talisman paper were emitting a faint warmth.
Xiao Yu didn't even raise his eyelids. He scanned the cliff in front of him, which was flickering in the light of lightning.
"Where is the entrance?" he asked.
"Don't worry, don't worry. I'm looking for it right now." Chu Xuanyi carefully took out the tattered animal skin map from his arms, and then took out an ancient-looking compass.
The compass needle spun madly.
"Damn it! The magnetic field here is extremely chaotic. Ordinary magic tools are completely useless." Chu Xuanyi's face became serious. "It seems that I can only use the most stupid method."
As he spoke, he bit his fingertip and placed a drop of blood on the center of the animal skin map.
The originally dull map suddenly lit up with a faint light, and the lines on the map representing mountains and rivers began to flow slowly.
"The universe is boundless, the universe borrows the law, with blood as the guide, tracing back to the source, command."
Chu Xuanyi recited the spell rapidly, made a seal with his hands and pointed at the bottomless cliff in front of him.
The animal skin map flew out of his hand and hovered in the air. The light on the map projected a beam of light visible to the naked eye, slowly sweeping across the huge stone wall opposite.
In the time it took to stick an incense stick of time, the beam of light had swept back and forth seven or eight times, but there was still no reaction on the stone wall.
Fine beads of sweat had already seeped out of Chu Xuanyi's forehead. It was obvious that this secret method was extremely exhausting for him.
"This shouldn't be the case," he muttered to himself, "The map is pointing right here, so why can't I find the fluctuations at the center of the formation?"
Just when he was puzzled, Ajiu, who had been standing quietly beside him, suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to an inconspicuous spot in the middle of the stone wall.
"Brother Xiong Xiong, over there."
“It’s different from other places.”
