"The power of celestial phenomena?"
Bai Qiuran slightly lowered his head and thought for a while, then took out a map of ten places in Kyushu from his arms and unfolded it on the table.
The map is marked with swirls of places where the ancient city once appeared.
Without the need for a celestial map, Bai Qiuran, relying on his own memory, used True Qi as a pen, and directly drew a star map that was as detailed as the current world of self-cultivation on top of this map.
Li Jinyao also came up, and the two quickly compared the vortex on the map with the position of the true air star map in mid-air.
"No, not a horoscope."
Li Jinyao was a little disappointed.
"Looks like I guessed wrong."
"It doesn't matter, this is not something that can be guessed by chance or two."
Bai Qiuran comforted:
"At least you have opened up ideas for us. Your idea is correct. The technology of that ancient city may be far beyond our conventional imagination."
"Um… "
At this time, Tang Ruowei, who had been staring at the map without speaking, suddenly asked:
"Master, do you think it is possible that these locations have some special meaning?"
"Um?"
Bai Qiuran was stunned for a moment, then said:
"What's the meaning?"
"That is to say, weren't you just talking about it? This ancient city has technologies that are currently unknown to the comprehension world, so I thought, maybe it's not because of the lack of internal energy supply, it must use the power of heaven and earth to move like this. , but because, for some other purpose, it has to move to these places..."
Tang Ruowei said:
"For example, the formation method..."
Bai Qiuran and Li Jinyao didn't finish their conversation. The two had already begun to outline the models of various possible formations on the map with True Qi and True Qi. The two shot at the same time not only did not disrupt each other's pace, but also made up for each other's omissions in each other's ideas.
Gradually, a map appeared on the map, covering the entire ten regions of Kyushu.
"This is… "
Li Jinyao's face became solemn.
"Ah, although I don't know the specific effect, but looking at the composition of these runes and formations, I am afraid this is a formation that awakens something."
Bai Qiuran murmured:
"Wait for a while, I'm going to check."
After he finished speaking, he stood up, and at a speed that Li Jinyao and Tang Ruowei couldn't see clearly, he ran out all the way, and came to the place closest to Forging Tianwu, the first time the ancient city appeared, located in the Dongling Kingdom. .
Like other places, after the ancient city disappeared, there was also a vortex of spiritual energy that did not dissipate.
Bai Qiuran walked around this vortex, and suddenly pulled out an iron sword from the storage bag, and the sword slashed into the air.
This time, he completely restrained the sword energy, and the white light on the blade almost condensed into substance. As the blade of the iron sword shattered, he also opened a black crack in the void.
Through the crack, Bai Qiuran successfully saw the interior scene. Countless spiritual energy was pouring in from the surrounding area, converging into a mist visible to the naked eye in the space on the other side of the space crack.
Someone quietly opened up another space in this place, it was like a hole was cut out in a flat piece of paper, and the surrounding aura continuously flowed in through the tiny space cracks near this space. In this space, a spiritual vortex that will not dissipate is formed.
"I see."
Looking at this space, Bai Qiuran said to himself:
"I get it, everything is connected."
He returned to Dutianwu's own room. Li Jinyao and Tang Ruowei were still waiting here. Seeing him come back with a thoughtful face, Tang Ruowei hurriedly asked:
"How is it? Master."
Bai Qiuran recovered, reached out and rubbed Tang Ruowei's head, saying:
"Thanks to you, I know the purpose of that ancient city."
"What exactly is going on?"
Li Jinyao asked curiously.
"That's just my inference, but nine times out of ten."
Bai Qiuran said:
"I went to the place where the ancient city first appeared, and the aura vortex there is actually a small space that was opened up. Through these fissures, it continuously converges in another space, and I think it should be the same in other places."
"Is this an eye?"
Li Jinyao glanced at the map.
"It turns out that, if you use this small space as the formation eye, you might be able to complete this formation that covers the ten places of Kyushu."
"Yes, then it is the purpose of arranging this formation, what does it want to wake up."
Bai Qiuran continued:
"I remember that when Huangfu Feng and I saw the stele activated in the wild, the blue light it emitted was densely packed. At that time, I thought those signals were all going to this ancient city, but now I think about it, if Each point of light represents a city similar to this ancient city, so…”
"Endless Jindan period dark monsters."
Li Jinyao then replied:
"I don't know the upper limit of the number of their transformations yet, but even if the number of monsters that an ancient city can handle is only as many as shown in the image, then their source of soldiers can at least crush all the gold combined by the Zhengqi Dao League and the Demon Gate. The number of alchemy cultivators. This is still not counting the more powerful monsters after the transformation of the foundation-building cultivators.
"Shanzai, everyone is a big brother with big ambitions."
Bai Qiuran sighed:
"Find someone, we should discuss the follow-up plan."
————————
Gathering together the representatives of the Righteous Qi Dao Alliance and the Demon Sect united in Forging Heaven, Bai Qiuran told the major sects of his and Li Jinyao's conjecture inspired by Tang Ruowei.
After listening to his explanations and inferences, the representatives of the various sects began to urgently contact the sect masters and elders who were in charge of the sects, and the elder Xu of the Xuanfa Academy hurriedly brought people. According to Bai Qiuran and The array map that Li Jinyao came up with began to deduce where the ancient city would appear next time.
With the array map, the work progress of Xuanfa Academy suddenly improved a lot. In less than a day, Elder Xu took out the most likely location for the next ancient city.
"Now we will see if the ancient city can verify our conjecture."
Elder Xu said to the representatives present:
"But this is only the first step. We don't know whether it takes time to prepare the ancient city from appearing to disappearing. This is directly related to the success of our battle. Because according to Jianzu and the others, this ancient city is autonomous in the city. It supplies energy, and then moves between spaces. At present, the space technology in our self-cultivation world is far from mature. Once it escapes and enters other spaces, it is difficult for us to capture its traces. We need to explore its other data."
"Leave it to me this time."
Bai Qiuran said:
"Since I want to force it to escape, then I will exercise for a long time to see what tricks it has."
