I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 555 The Starry Wanderer (Bonus Chapter for Cumulative Donations)
The secret realm that Danxi mentioned is one of the nodes of the Nine Cauldrons Boundary-Stabilizing Array. Ever since the phantom of the Nine Cauldrons appeared in the outer sea, many Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation cultivators in the Floating Light Sea have been searching for its exact location.

The three major sword sects also asked Jubaohang to find a way to locate this node and activate it.

However, there were many forces in the Floating Light Sea, and they were often at odds with each other, making the situation very complicated. As a result, no news was sent back to the Eastern Continent, and the Eastern Continent thought that the search had not been completed.

In reality, the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Floating Light Sea had already determined the approximate location. After extensive investigation, they discovered that this secret realm only appears when the storms in the outer sea are at their strongest.

This isolates most cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, and even Nascent Soul stage cultivators find it difficult to stay in the storm for an extended period.

These people from the outer sea didn't dare to actually destroy the nodes of the Nine Cauldrons Boundary-Stabilizing Array, but after all, this was a secret realm that existed since the Primordial Era, established by Kunlun cultivators, and it must contain a lot of things, which they all wanted to profit from.

Danxi also mentioned that the Poison Master of the Nascent Soul stage on Wandu Island was injured by the Nascent Soul ancestor of the Yu family on Jian Island. This was because of the great battle that broke out in the outer sea in order to seize this secret realm.

It can be said that ninety percent of the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Floating Light Sea are now gathered in the outer sea.

"Have they found a way to enter the secret realm?"

Jiang Yi asked Dan Xi, who had previously heard the Lingxu Sword Sect Master, Mingzhu Sword Lord, mention that a Kunlun token was needed to enter the secret realm where the node was located.

The Kunlun Token is held by the three major sword sects. After the Eastern Continent and Western Spirit found the node secret realm, it was the people from the three major sword sects who carried the token to open it.

Because of the long distance and lack of information, the people of Fuguanghai were unaware of this matter.

The Kunlun Dao Seal on Jiang Yi's body is itself an all-powerful and high-level Kunlun token.

In other words, even if those people find the exact location of the secret realm, they cannot open it or enter it.

“Master, I also need to go into that secret realm. This is my sect mission in Floating Light Sea. And currently only I can open that secret realm, so you can rest assured to prepare for the Nascent Soul stage. Once you have successfully completed the Nascent Soul stage, I will take you in.”

Both master and apprentice were intelligent, and Danxi immediately understood the meaning behind Jiang Yi's words.

While feeling relieved, Danxi felt a deep sense of worry. "Isn't this too risky? This is, after all, a gathering place for rogue cultivators. These people are used to being unrestrained and will fight each other for the slightest benefit. Even if they are wary of the Lingxu Sword Sect, they still have a way to kill you and frame someone else. Besides, you yourself are a treasure."

Jiang Yi understood her master's worries. Everyone knew that she possessed the Kunlun Dao Seal, and they would inevitably think that she had taken good things from the Kunlun Treasury.

"I'll go talk to Yu Qianlang and Su Lingxian. By the way, Master, is it convenient for me to give you the things we got from the stone chamber?"

When Jiang Yi entered earlier, he noticed traces of cultivators practicing and studying here for many years. There were bookshelves and desks in the corners of the stone chamber, and the ceiling was decorated with star charts carved according to the constellations. All the furnishings were in the style of a master of array formations.

"Here, here, here. If I had a choice, I wouldn't have wanted these junks at all."

Without the slightest hesitation, Danxi immediately took out her things, most of which were jade slips recording array diagrams, and there were only two other items.

A compass and a divination stick container.

Danxi picked up the only jade bamboo slip and handed it to Jiang Yi. "This contains the last words of the owner of this cave dwelling. You can take a look first. She called herself 'Xingyan Sanren' and was a formation fanatic."

Jiang Yi took it and opened it; it was written entirely in classical Chinese. "I have devoted my life to array formations, abandoning the constraints of sects to travel the Nine Provinces. I observed the shifting stars of famous mountains and comprehended the secrets of deep-sea array formations. The arrays I created once commanded the respect of countless heroes. However, my heart was bound to the Dao of array formations, and my cultivation remained stagnant at the Refining Spirit Returning to Emptiness realm for over three hundred years. Now, as my lifespan nears its end, I will pass away on this island."

My Celestial Pivot Plate and the Derivation Array Oracle are the culmination of my life's work. If a destined person obtains them and can decipher the star orbits on the plate and understand the array's meaning within the oracle, then they will inherit my mantle and continue exploring the infinite mysteries of array formations. Remember, though the way of array formations is profound, it also requires cultivation; do not emulate my obsessive approach.

"He really is a formation fanatic, so obsessed that he neglects his cultivation. It's a real pity."

The ancient Qi cultivators' "Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness" realm corresponds to the current "Transformation of Spirit" to "Refining Emptiness" stage. In other words, when this Xingyan Sanren passed away, he was at least a "Refining Emptiness" cultivator.

Jiang Yi temporarily stored all the jade slips and items in Youxian Ferry and asked Zhu Xin to quickly input them.

Danxi added, "The Tian Shu plate and the divination tube are a set; you can't use it if either one is missing. There's a mechanism on the Tian Shu plate that I've been trying to solve for over ten years. You'd better be able to solve it; I suspect that what's inside is the true inheritance of Xingyan Sanren's array techniques."

Jiang Yi nodded, "Hua Gu, come out and keep Master company for me. I'll be right back."

Jiang Yi released Hua Gu and pushed her in front of Dan Xi. Dan Xi had always liked Hua Gu, and now that she saw Hua Gu, who had grown into a young girl, her eyes softened.

"Oh my goodness, Hua Gu, you've grown so much! Come and let me see you."

"Greetings, Grandmaster!" Hua Gu greeted in a childish voice.

Danxi and Huagu greeted her like a grandmother seeing her granddaughter, and Jiang Yi felt superfluous again. She smiled and went to find Yu Qianlang and the others.

When Jiang Yi arrived, he happened to hear Shen Qianling say, "The things here must not be given away."

Jiang Yiyang replied loudly, "I can give you the things, but I want to see the Yu family patriarch."

Upon hearing the sound, the four of them looked over. Yu Qianlang had already told Shen Qianling and Shen Qianyun everything.

Yu Qianlang and Su Lingxian were only concerned with saving people and had little desire for the things in this place. However, Shen Qianling and her brother were responsible for revitalizing the Shen family and could not give up these ancient relics that the Shen family had been eyeing for a long time.

Jiang Yi was too lazy to waste words and spoke frankly.

"What have those Nascent Soul cultivators in the outer sea been searching for and fighting over all these years? You must know why your Yu family patriarch fought with the Poison Venerable of Ten Thousand Poison Island. That place was originally left behind by Kunlun. The Lingxu Sword Sect sent me here to enter that place and activate the node of the great array within."

"Currently, only I can lead people into that place. Compared to what's there, the heritage on this island is nothing. Cooperating with me is cooperating with the Lingxu Sword Sect. It's a legitimate cause. You should understand which is more important."

As the group was shaken by Jiang Yi's words, Jiang Yi looked gently at Su Lingxian. Hong Li was still in her arms, almost falling asleep from her superb medical skills.

"If it's convenient, I'd also like to meet the Nascent Soul Ancestor of Medicine Immortal Island. Sword Island and Medicine Immortal Island are considered leaders of the righteous path in Floating Light Sea. This is a matter of great importance, so I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Su."

“I can have Fu Liu escort you away from this storm. By the way, there are two Nascent Soul stage evil cultivators from Ten Thousand Poisons Island lying in wait outside. I can also take care of them for you. I will stay here and wait for the two patriarchs.”

As long as we can persuade these two patriarchs to cooperate, the matter of my master becoming a deity protector will be settled.

　See you tomorrow!
