Chapter 821 Eye of the Flood!
Fang Yu nodded and said, “Alright.”
But Zhao Zinan continued to hold onto the corner of Fang Yu’s clothes, unwilling to let go.
Fang Yu turned his head, about to speak.
At this moment, Ye Shengxue stepped forward, bent down, and said softly, “Sister Zinan, Mr. Fang has urgent matters to attend to, he’ll come back later… During this time, I’ll take good care of you.”
Hearing that Fang Yu had urgent matters, Zhao Zinan’s expression changed, and after hesitating for a moment, she released her grip.
“Then I’ll be going now,” Fang Yu said, glancing at the two women before him.
“Take care, Mr. Fang,” Ye Shengxue said with a bow.
Zhao Zinan looked at Fang Yu, her lips moving slightly as if wanting to say something, but due to shyness, she couldn’t bring herself to speak.
Fang Yu raised his right hand, activated the Void Ring, and disappeared again.
…
When Fang Yu returned to Frost Cold Palace, Su Lengyun was waiting at the main entrance.
Upon seeing Su Lengyun, he immediately activated the Void Ring again without delay, heading toward the ancient ruins at the precise coordinates provided by the Sky Observation Bureau.
…
Before them was a massive waterfall with cascading water and a large mountain spring below it.
The area was surrounded by high mountains and dense forests.
This place appeared vast but was actually very secluded, as it was encircled by mountains on all sides, making the entrance difficult to find.
“The coordinates are correct. The location of the ancient ruins provided by the Sky Observation Bureau is right here,” Fang Yu thought as he looked at the waterfall ahead.
“Brother Yu, look at the ground… there are quite a few footprints. Many people must have already gone inside… The entrance is behind the waterfall,” Su Lengyun said, her beautiful eyes gleaming as she gazed at the rushing water ahead.
Fang Yu looked around, observing the environment. After thinking for a moment, he took out a piece of white paper with a drawing from the storage space of his Void Ring.
The pattern on the paper was a square with many complex lines in the middle.
This was a pattern that Fang Yu had copied from the formation beneath each observatory, reproduced in exact detail.
With observatories built at thirty-seven locations, Fang Yu had drawn thirty-seven formation patterns, all stored in his Void Ring.
The one he took out now was copied from the formation on Qingyun Mountain in South Huaibei.
Fang Yu held the paper as far from his sight as possible, frowning as he observed it.
Then, he tried rotating the paper in different directions.
After rotating it three times, Fang Yu’s expression changed.
He noticed that the complex intersecting lines within the square weren’t without logic… Looking carefully, he could see an extremely subtle mark among the layers of lines, pointing in a certain direction!
And the direction of this formation…
Fang Yu rotated the paper several more times… and discovered that regardless of how the formation was rotated, the mark within it always pointed in the same direction, never changing!
This situation defied logic, but it precisely indicated that it contained great mysteries!
The direction indicated within the formation must represent some significance!
The location of Qingyun Mountain and the waterfall before him…
Fang Yu’s eyes flickered slightly as he laid the paper flat on the ground.
Sure enough, the subtle mark within the formation pattern on the paper pointed directly at the waterfall before him!
In other words, the formation on Qingyun Mountain pointed to the ancient ruins right in front of them.
And the formations at the other thirty-six locations pointed to thirty-six other ancient ruins that had not yet been opened…
Could it be that the purpose of these underground formations was to indicate the locations of ancient ruins?
Fang Yu’s intuition told him it couldn’t be that simple.
Besides indicating locations, the formations must have other uses!
Beside him, Su Lengyun, seeing that Fang Yu was deep in thought, didn’t interrupt.
At this moment, Fang Yu suddenly turned to look at Su Lengyun and asked, “You said the opening of the ancient ruins here was announced by the Sky Observation Bureau?”
“Yes,” Su Lengyun nodded.
“Announced… meaning everyone in the Chinese martial arts world knows about it?” Fang Yu asked again.
“…If they want to know, they certainly can find out. The information released by the Sky Observation Bureau is always available to everyone, even ordinary people in the secular world can know about it,” Su Lengyun replied after a moment’s pause.
“The Sky Observation Bureau… how did they learn about the opening of the ancient ruins?” Fang Yu frowned, pondering.
The Sky Observation Bureau was an organization that Fang Yu had never heard of before.
They seemed to have suddenly appeared in the last five hundred years and held great authority in both the martial arts world and the secular world.
During his last visit to the Sky Observation Bureau, those rankings… especially that Immortal Communication Stele, had caught Fang Yu’s attention.
Because Fang Yu had deliberately released his divine sense but hadn’t detected any special aura within those stone tablets.
This meant the tablets themselves weren’t magical artifacts, just simple stone tablets, mere tools.
The updates to the rankings were made manually.
At that time, Fang Yu had speculated that within the Sky Observation Bureau, there must be a group of people who, through some means or magical artifacts, collected the auras of powerful figures in the Chinese martial arts world to update the rankings.
Logically, the accuracy of such rankings would not be high.
But on the Immortal Communication Stele, that character ‘Fang’ with a single dot made Fang Yu very concerned.
He felt that name was his name.
But for some reason, only half of it was written.
Fang Yu shook his head, not letting his thoughts wander further.
The peculiarities of the Sky Observation Bureau could be investigated slowly after resolving the current matter.
Now, he needed to explore the ancient ruins indicated by this formation.
Fang Yu put the formation drawing back into his storage space and turned to Su Lengyun, saying, “We can go in now.”
“Mm,” Su Lengyun nodded slightly, following behind Fang Yu as they flew toward the waterfall ahead.
…
On Xuankong Mountain.
Soul Flow, draped in a black cloak, floated in mid-air.
Before him stood six people of various builds.
Two were women, four were men.
At this moment, all six stood straight, looking respectfully at Soul Flow before them.
“Do you know why I summoned you here?” Soul Flow asked, looking at the six people before him.
The six exchanged glances.
They had all been suddenly summoned and didn’t know what had happened.
Soul Flow’s gaze swept across the six people, his amber eyes emitting a faint light as he said, “The flood is coming. Thirty-seven Flood Eyes will open one by one!”
“Today, I’ve gathered you here to lead you to the first Flood Eye.”
“Before all the Flood Eyes fully open, our Half-Spirit Clan must obtain the legacies that exist within each Flood Eye.”
Hearing these words, the six were first stunned, then overjoyed!
They knew clearly that this was their opportunity!
Although they were already elite generals, they couldn’t remain calm when facing these ancient legacies that had existed for tens of thousands of years!
“Lord Soul, is the opening time of these Flood Eyes known only to our Half-Spirit Clan?” General Mo Gan asked.
Soul Flow shook his head, his eyes cold as he said, “The Sky Observation Bureau in the North has already beaten us to it and spread the news about the opening of the first Flood Eye.”
“What!?”
The expressions of all six generals changed.
“No need to panic. Although the news has spread, not many cultivators have the ability to enter the Flood Eye,” Soul Flow said leisurely. “Moreover, we possess complete maps of the interior of each Flood Eye. Other cultivators who enter… can only grope in the dark, with only one in ten chances of survival.”
Hearing this, the expressions of the six generals softened.
As long as Immortal Dao Kong was with them, their Half-Spirit Clan had a huge advantage!
“You must understand one thing: entering a Flood Eye means taking on extreme risk,” Soul Flow continued, his pupils shifting slightly. “Even with maps in our possession, safety cannot be guaranteed.”
“Inside the Flood Eye, if you encounter any dangerous situation, you must follow my commands and not act on your own.”
“Before we depart, I’ll give you a chance to choose. You can choose to follow me, or you can refuse, and I’ll find others.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the six generals immediately and firmly shouted in unison, “We are willing to follow Lord Soul to the Flood Eye!”
“Good,” Soul Flow nodded, raising his left hand toward the void beside him.
“Hum…”
A black sphere appeared in the air, slowly expanding into a black hole.
“Now, let’s head to the first Flood Eye,” Soul Flow said.
“Whoosh!”
The six generals entered the black hole one after another.
Finally, Soul Flow also stepped into it.
