Book 3: Chapter 23: Qi-Refining Stage Cultivators Can"t Have A Deity Soul, So It’s Normal That You Don"t Know (Laughs)

At night, after Bai Qiuran had just discussed the matter with other sects’ representatives and was preparing to go back to the room to rest, he suddenly felt the energy of the sword he left in the ancient city.

“What?”

He immediately came to the table and spread out the map to check. Following the induction, he found the current approximate location of the ancient city on the map.

“It appeared so fast this time, has its route changed?”

He marked a new point on the map, then picked up the map, ready to tell others about it.

After going round and round, he told this news to every sect leader and elder, but he couldn’t find Yue Qianlian, so Bai Qiuran asked a disciple of Sky-Forging Castle:

“Where is your sect leader?”

“Master Yue went to the world furnace shortly after returning from that day.

The disciple of Sky-Forging Castle replied respectfully to Bai Qiuran:

“If you want to find him, you can wait a few more days, when he comes out, I will help you inform him.”

Bai Qiuran thought about it.

Nine Provinces and Ten Lands is huge, even I can’t rush from Sky-Forging Castle to the place where the ancient city appears in just five minutes, thus now the only plan is to wait for Xue Ling’s information about this ancient city’s operating mechanism, then find a way to stop it from the track.

So he said to the disciple of Sky-Forging Castle:

“Okay, then I’ll wait a few more days, let’s see what these Land Immortals are doing when they change the route.”

He returned to the room and began to sense and record the route of the ancient city. After this change, the movement range of the ancient city began to be limited to the four adjacent big Provinces: Qing Province, Gu Province, Lin Province, and Liang Province. Perhaps because the moving distance was shortened, the frequency of the ancient city from disappearing to appearing again has been shortened to once a day.

Over the next few days, Bai Qiuran has marked many more places on the map. Some of them were mountain villages and towns where people gathered, and some were uninhabited wilderness. Although the ancient city has changed its track, it still has not changed its fundamental purpose: to wake up something that was sleeping in Nine Provinces and Ten Lands.

After the number of moving points on the map increased, Bai Qiuran began to deduce its moving trajectory.

Late at night, Bai Qiuran, who was struggling to draw a graph, was suddenly interrupted by a cold wind.

The wind rolled up the curtains in the room, making a fine crashing sound, with a smell of death in the wind.

Bai Qiuran sighed and put down the pen in his hand.

“Although you are a ghost, can you please knock on the door when you come in?”

“It’s not necessary, Soul Takers do not need to maintain etiquette for living people.”

Xue Ling’s figure emerged from the void, and then a scroll was thrown into Bai Qiuran’s hands.

“This is the teleportation method of the Land Immortal era.”

“Thank you, what about your girlfriend?”

Bai Qiuran took it, took out a blank scroll, and printed the contents on it to this blank scroll, and then put the reprinted scroll in his own storage bag, and returned the original scroll to Xue Ling.

“She is currently in the ghost world, helping me cover…Besides, this is a deal, you don’t need to thank me, just help me to detain the souls of these Land Immortals.”

Xue Ling’s eyes swept the map on Bai Qiuran’s table.

“What are you drawing?”

“I’m measuring that city’s new trajectory.”

Bai Qiuran sighed:

“After being frightened by me that day, he immediately changed the trajectory of the ancient city… I am afraid that he wanted to first wake up some of the facilities of the previous era.”

Xue Ling looked at it and said:

“I may know how this thing moves.”

“Oh?”

Bai Qiuran asked quickly:

“How does it move?”

Xue Ling picked up the pen on the table, drew some points on the map, and then said:

“This is the activation array commonly used in the last era. It is not too difficult. The Underworld has still used this method. It functions as a key to the lock, but its secret has been lost in your time. According to the position of this array, the thing he wants to wake should be here.”

Bai Qiuran looked at the place that Xue Ling circled, and was surprised:

“This place is…the capital of Qing Province’s Shangling Kingdom before it splits?”

“That’s normal, the remnants of the ordinary era like to rebuild civilization on the ruins of the previous era.”

Xue Ling threw the pen on the table and said quietly:

“So that’s it, the deal is over and I’m gone.”

“Wait a minute!”

Bai Qiuran said:

“Can you tell me how the Land Immortal possess Yue Qianren? When we found him, his Deity Soul is still the same as before, I have confirmed it.”

“You know, the Deity Soul does not mean that the three souls and seven spirits are all transformed into it. More exactly, the original three souls and seven spirits are covered with a layer of consciousness which turned into Deity Soul…”

Xue Ling said, and suddenly glanced at Bai Qiuran, laughed:

“Oh, I almost forgot. Qi-Refining cultivators can’t have a Deity Soul, so it’s normal that you don’t know .”

Bai Qiuran’s face darkened, he said coldly:

“You care about your job performance this year, don’t you?”

Xue Ling slipped his head and did not answer, saying:

“That’s it, I went back.”

Before Bai Qiuran had attacked, he quickly walked into the void and disappeared.

“d.a.m.n, what an arrogant ghost.”

Bai Qiuran whispered, then looked at the map.

“But… Deity Soul? That is to say, the three souls and seven spirits inside Yue Qianren’s Deity Soul have been taken away by Land Immortal. Their technique is really impressive.”

He looked at the ancient emperor capital of the Shangling Kingdom, which was finally marked on the map, and then put away the map, took out the telescope array in the storage bag, and studied it.

............

“This is the way to stop the ancient city.”

In the main hall of Sky-Forging Castle, Bai Qiuran took out a new scroll and handed it to the representatives.

“Then, I still have the formation of the teleportation array here. I have tested it. The things on it are genuine. This copy will be left in the Book Collection Pavilion of the Righteous Alliance, so everyone can learn.”

Bai Qiuran said:

“However, this kind of formation is very difficult. You need to have very high attainments in spells, calculations, and formations. Don’t let people who are not good at math learn it. Moreover, to use this formation you must be at least Deity Transformation stage.”

Hearing what he said, the representatives of Jade Building, Mystery Academy, Heavenly Army all smiled, and even Weichen Master Monk of Saint Buddha Sect rarely gave a good mood to say “Zenzai”.

They did not ask Bai Qiuran where this scroll came from. As far as they knew, Sword Patriarch has lived for so long, and his friends were naturally not limited to Nine Provinces and Ten Lands. Of course, with Bai Qiuran’s talent, he may be able to figure it out by himself.

At this time, although Evil Sects were embarra.s.sed to say, they also looked at the Righteous Alliance with envious eyes, and some of them even started to calculate the spy plan.

“Don’t think about killing people and stealing treasure, or using spies to steal intelligence.”

Seeing the look of her colleagues, Su Xiangxue also said:

“Sword Patriarch also gave me a copy, and then I will send this formation to the hands of Heavenly Demon Sect and Nether Ghost Sect separately.”

Hearing her words, the fierce glare in the eyes of demonic cultivators who had been thinking about the evil plan subsided again, and when they were relieved, they became a bit boring.

Not doing bad things for a long time, they all felt that they were a.s.similated by the righteous way.

“Then I know the trajectory of the ancient city, the method of stopping, after you learn it, we can go to block it.”

Bai Qiuran clapped:

“When the time comes, we’ll pay evil unto evil… Speaking of this, has Little Yue come out of the furnace?”

“Not yet.”

Su Xiangxue shook her head.

“Then we will wait a few more days and wait for everyone to learn how to stop the formation, and then set off to stop the ancient city.”

Bai Qiuran suggested:

“After all, time waits for no one… Although it’s a bit unfair to Little Yue, we really can’t miss this chance.”
