Chapter 1330: 4 Pages, 4 Spirit Worlds

Even though they couldn’t be sure, they could infer that the information on the first 4 pages of the Star Map pointed to regions within the Heaven Observation Dao Field.

However, after the 5th page where the Spirit Faith World was located, the rest of the world recorded within should be located outside the Heaven Observation Field.

Originally, Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue guessed that the next page would record the location of the Essence Xing World, but from the looks of it, it didn’t look anywhere close.

“Is this a world that hasn’t been discovered?” Ge Qingzhu’s gaze shifted around as he asked with uncertainty.

“It probably isn’t an undiscovered world. It’s just that we don’t know about it.” Kou Chongxue muttered. He frowned at Yuan Qiuyuan next, “Can you determine any accurate information from this?”

After thinking slightly, Yuan Qiuyuan explained, “The Star Map is a treasure that existed a thousand years ago. We don’t know if the worlds recorded on it still exist, and we have no idea if it grew stronger or weaker...”

Kou Chongxue looked at Yuan Qiuyuan who was exuding an aura completely different from his normally slow self and nodded, “I know that you have an opinion on this. Speak your mind. Leave the thinking to us.”

Sighing softly, Yuan Qiuyuan continued, “From this page, it seems like the world recorded here was a Spirit World 1000 years ago...”

Exchanging a glance with Shang Xia, Kou Chongxue mumbled in a low voice, “Try to look for its location in the void and find a safe path over. Monitor everything around it and remember to keep this a secret!”

Shang Xia, Ge Qingzhu, and Yuan Qiuyuan nodded instinctively.

However, Yuan QIuyuan seemed to have thought of something and he asked, “But... Patriarch Kou, with the Star Map, locating the world wouldn’t be too difficult. It’s not impossible to look for a safe path to it either. The troublesome part is looking for a weakness in the Star Curtain. However, the moment we do so, the weakness in the Star Curtain will only grow bigger... At the very least, the area we will use will only become weaker!”

As soon as he spoke, everyone on the Star Observatory fell silent.

Shang Xia only broke the silence a moment later. “You just need to look for the best possible route that leads there. You don’t have to trouble yourself with anything else.”

Yuan Qiuyuan looked at Kou Chongxue whose mind didn’t seem to be on the matter and muttered softly, “Yes...”

Ge Qingzhu looked at the high-level True Immortals of the institution and asked suddenly, “Are we going to continue opening the Star Map?”

“Do it.” Kou Chongxue looked at Shang Xia once before giving the order.

Yuan Qiuyuan nodded before reaching out to flip the next page. He seemed to have used all his might to gather starlight onto his hands, and flipping the next page took everything out of him.

Ge Qingzhu wanted to help, but he was quickly stopped by Yuan Qiuyuan.

“Disciple can still hold on. Please do not touch me!”

Yuan Qiuyuan exhaled a long breath as he finally flipped open the 7th page. Only when it was open did he look at Ge Qingzhu with a look of embarrassment, “This Star Map is a little strange... Only by using the power of starlight can someone open it properly. If anyone else tries to interfere, it might greatly damage the book. If we continue forcing it open, the Star Map will be destroyed...”

Ge Qingzhu chuckled softly to indicate his understanding, “Oh? Looks like I nearly messed up earlier!”

Shang Xia also laughed at the side, “Let’s take a look at the information on the 7th page... From the looks of it, it doesn’t look like the location of a world...”

Opening the 7th page of the Star Map clearly took a lot out of Yuan Qiuyuan. The True Immortals intentionally gave him a chance to catch his breather and after he recovered slightly with the dense heaven and earth qi in the Elysium did they urge him to display his art of stargazing as he revealed the location recorded on the 7th page.

It took slightly longer than the last time before he was able to determine the location on the Star Map.

After some time, they saw Yuan Qiuyuan whose forehead was soaked in perspiration heave a sigh of relief. Ge Qingzhu asked, “How is it?”

Finally breaking out into laughter, Yuan Qiuyuan explained, “This page also records the location of a Spirit World, but it’s even further than the Spirit World recorded on the previous page. Finding it is a little more difficult...’

“This is great! You can deduce the approximate location of this world, and leave finding the world itself to us!” Shang Xia nodded excitedly.

Yuan Qiuyuan couldn’t help but remind them, “Are you forgetting...”

“Heh, I know what you wish to say!” Shang Xia chuckled and interrupted him before he could finish. “It has been 1000 years or so and the world might be destroyed or might have developed to a point where we can’t mess with them, right?”

“Yes... Exactly.” Yuan Qiuyuan agreed.

Without waiting for anything else, Kou Chongxue asked, “Little Yuan, are you able to flip another page of the Star Map?”

Yuan Qiuyuan looked at the Star Map that was almost half open and revealed an ugly expression. “With my current achievements in the art of stargazing, I should be able to flip open another page. However, my cultivation is a little lacking and I’m afraid my dipper qi wouldn’t be enough to support me through it. I’m afraid I will only be able to do it after my cultivation increases a little.”

Shang Xia started laughing suddenly, “If it’s just a matter of your dipper qi not being enough, I can help you. All you need to do is to gather the power of starlight.”

Yuan Qiuyuan blinked in shock and looked at him in shock, “This... How is this even possible?”

Shang Xia didn’t explain, simply reaching out with his hand to tap on Yuan Qiuyuan’s dantian.

Instinctively, he wanted to avoid Shang Xia, but Shang Xia’s finger landed before he knew it.

Without waiting for him to let out a gasp of fright, a powerful wave of dipper qi entered his dantian. Strangely enough, there was no sign of rejection. It was as though the energy belonged to him in the first place and his dantian even actively accepted the energy while blending it into his own.

Yuan Qiuyuan became extremely excited with the discovery of the increased energy in his dantian.

“How is it?” Shang Xia smiled and asked.

Yuan Qiuyuan was dumbstruck and he only managed to react after some time. “This... This is incredible!”

With Shang Xia’s assistance, Yuan Qiuyuan quickly gathered the power of starlight to flip open the 8th page. Even though the energy required surpassed anything he could muster, it seemed as though the energy he was pouring into the Star Map was inexhaustible.

Soon after, he used his art of stargazing and the location recorded on the 8th page was revealed. After a simple deduction, he determined it to be another Spirit World. It seemed as though the worlds discovered on the 6th, 7th, and 8th pages weren’t too far away from the Heaven Observation Field, and they were merely slightly further away from each other.

“The first 4 pages record the worlds within the Heaven Observation Field, and the next 4 record worlds outside the Heaven Observation Field. Moreover, all of them were pretty much Spirit Worlds... At the very least, they were Spirit Worlds 1000 years ago!” Shang Xia mumbled as he looked at the Star Map. “We have already opened half of the Star Map... I wonder what the other half contains!”
