The largest city of Xu State, Yongding City.
As the initiator of the Seven Stars and the city construction inherited from
the Yong Dynasty, the Privy Council in Yongding is extremely large, almost the
same as the imperial palace from the outside. The tetragonal shape strictly
follows the principle of the sky and the circle. A avenue runs from north to
south, and all the halls are distributed along the central axis, symmetrically
arranged on both sides of the road.
The "Chengyun Temple" located in the north is the core of the Seven Star Privy
House. The plan to unite the six countries and establish a unified Privy House
was discussed and determined here. If it is said that its architectural scale
can make other neighboring Privy Councils have the idea of imitating it,
then the multiple formations surrounding the palace are something they can't
envy.
These formations not only have the ability to protect the Privy Council, but
also can change the climate and temperature inside the palace walls. Whenever
you enter this place, it is as comfortable as spring.
When the envoy Goldman Sachs walked into the Great Hall, the other four Seven
Envoys were already sitting at the long table waiting for him.
This is also a major feature of the Seven Star Privy Council.
There is no distinction between the representatives of the six countries.
Therefore, the way of discussing politics in which one person sits in the
first place and the others listens in the hall is abandoned. Everyone sits in
a row at a long table and stands on the stage. On the contrary, they are not
so important meeting liaisons, usually by the disciples of the Seven Star
Envoy.
But even so, the alchemists would subconsciously distinguish between high and
low.
For example, the two empty seats in the middle of the long table are reserved
for the emissary of Tianquan and Yuheng.
After Goldman Sachs sat down, he nodded to the contact person, "Envoy Yuheng
still has important things to do. This time the assembly will not be present.
You can start directly."
"Yes," the young woman standing on the stage bowed to the Seven Star Envoy and
said the primary purpose of the meeting. "After the detailed calculations and
deductions of the Privy Council of Yongding, we have determined that the Gate
of Heaven is about to be reopened. In the present world, and this time is
quite close, no more than half a year at most."
Although everyone had been mentally prepared and had been paying attention to
the progress of this matter before, when the contact person said it, there was
still a whisper in the lobby.
All the Seven Star Envoys know the importance of the Gate of Heaven.
Over the years, there have been more and more clues from the textual research
on the scattered literature of the Yong Dynasty, showing that the door is an
invisible key, and only those who can open that door are qualified to see the
immortal way.
"The secret letter sent last month must have been read by you all," Gao said.
"Our research on the fairy artifact "Heavenly Court" still has nothing. The
only thing we can confirm at present is that there are two ways to open it.
One is to continue to look for clues from a large number of lost Yong Dynasty
books, and the other is to open the gate of heaven and gain the ability to
control immortal implements. Because of this, the present life of the door is
extremely important, and we must control it in our hands anyway. "
His voice is not high, but his words are beyond doubt.
"Then where exactly will the door appear, there should be a conclusion here,
right?" Gao Guo Tianxuan asked.
"Of course, it's just a small problem." Goldman Sachs looked at the contact
person.
The latter took out a picture scroll from behind and spread it out and hung it
on the wall.
"This is……"
The seven envoys frowned.
The painting is undoubtedly painted with ink, but the content is very strange-
most of the place is covered with black ink, as if the painter was extremely
dissatisfied with the scene and deliberately splashed ink to erase it. The
only areas that are not covered are only two extremely narrow places below and
at the top of the scroll.
Below is a light gray straight line extending all the way from the left to the
right of the scroll. There are traces of water soaking on the edge. I wonder
if the proportion of ink dilution has not been controlled. The top of the head
is a semi-curved shape, which is deliberately used in cyan. Paint, this is
also the only color on the scroll.
Yaoguang made Fenglingzi rub his forehead with a headache, "Master Gao, you
don't expect us to find the direction of the gate of heaven from this
painting, do you?"
Others also nodded again and again.
Even if it paints mountains and deserts, it is extremely difficult to lock the
position based on a few features on the painting. At most, people will be
organized to find a needle in a haystack after determining the approximate
range, not to mention that 80% of the parts are blacked out. The picture is
over.
"This ink...wasn't it painted on purpose?" someone asked.
Tian Shu made Goldman Sachs shook his head, "No, the painting itself is like
this. The place shown in the painting is not hidden in the slightest. And it
just so happens that Yong Wang mentioned similar places in a book."
"Oh? Tell me about it?"
The contact person took out a few more pieces of paper and pasted them next to
the scroll.
"King Yong called this place of desperate death. It is silent and cold.
Ordinary alchemists can't survive at all." The woman explained, "In addition,
it is not connected to the dunya. It is more like a world of caves. If you
want to enter it, you have to go through it. The end of the sea."
"The end of the sea?" Tianxuan envoy said suddenly, "Could this be the so-
called black barrier area on the West Pole?"
"That's the case." Feng Guo's Kaiyang envoy looked thoughtful, "Feng Guoshang
has a little trade with Xiji, and my subordinates have also inquired about the
black barrier area from their messengers. From the description point of view,
it is indeed very close to the end of the sea recorded by Yongwang. But...
they don’t think there is any way to penetrate the black barrier. Considering
that the scale of navigation during the Eternal Kingdom is far less than the
current West Antarctic countries, so I think this may be the news that
Yongwang obtained from other channels, and he has not personally verified it."
And this "other channel" is likely to come from the listener.
"To be honest, I also don't think this law is appropriate." Goldman Sachs
agreed. "As far as I know, the West Pole fleet already has a considerable
scale, and wanting to compete with them at sea is tantamount to hitting its
edge. In this case It is even more difficult to find the passage to the black
barrier area~www.mtlnovel.com~ I heard... that group of demonized monsters are
also looking for the gate of heaven."
"That's right, so we have to grab the place in front of them to find the door
in the world." Tianquan replied, "Since the black barrier area is not working,
we can try another method."
"Does Lord Gao mean... the fairy moon shadow temple in the Equestria Kingdom?"
Feng Lingzi's expression condensed.
"According to legend, it has the ability to penetrate the sky and the earth,
and can send people to any place." Tianquan did not deny, "If this is the
case, the desperate place should also be within its ability. Isn't this right?
Once we do it. Someone among them has obtained the key to the gate of heaven,
which can not only unlock the secrets of the heavens, but also bring the Moon
Shadow Temple into control with ease, which is just around the corner!"
"But you also know that not everyone can come back safe and sound." She shook
her head. "In the past hundreds of tests, less than 10% of the temples have
been able to walk out of the temple in good health! Besides, every time it is
opened, a sacrifice is required. In the past, Yongwang can use the breath-
inducing person as a medicine, but Qixing can't do that!"
If they also follow Yongchao's approach, how would other alchemists view this
emerging coalition? I'm afraid it's not that my heart will disperse before the
gate of heaven appears.
