Chapter 169: Astrology and Star Power

A few beams of light shot out in succession.

Dubhe constellation… Merak… Phecd… Megrez… The light beams of the spiritual power released by Jiang Yun hit the carvings of these constellations in succession. As the last spiritual power hit Megrez, their hearts couldn’t help but rise to their throats.

However, the door still didn’t budge.

“Sigh… I guess it isn’t that simple.” Qin Xiaoxi couldn’t help but sigh.

“Wait and see…”

Jiang Yun was stunned on the spot. He followed Jiang Yun’s gaze and saw that the constellation carving on the door started to flash with intense light.

“This… did it work?” Qin Xiaoxi was so shocked that her jaw almost couldn’t close.

Jiang Yun didn’t say anything, and he looked at the stone door quietly.

After the light continued for a while, the sound of a giant rock slowly being pushed echoed in the cave. Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi also felt that the ground started to tremble slightly!

“It worked!” Qin Xiaoxi exclaimed in surprise.

“Yeah.” Jiang Yun felt relieved. The breath that was hanging in his throat was finally relieved.

At this moment, the stone door began to open bit by bit. The heavy sound of the door opening was somehow somewhat pleasant to the ear.

“You are absolutely right. This stone door is not just a mechanism, but a mechanism that has been applied with some kind of spiritual power cultivation technique. Otherwise, it would not have been impossible for us to forcefully push it open with spiritual power,” Jiang Yun said.

“The people of the Northern Region had also learned about cultivation techniques.”

“How could they not? The Frost Dragon has descended on their heads. After all, the blood of this god is flowing through their bodies.” Jiang Yun smiled.

At that moment, the stone door opened little by little, but there was only darkness inside.

Qin Xiaoxi and Jiang Yun looked at each other, then they slowly walked through the stone door.

The first one to enter was Jiang Yun’s Guiding Lamp, which lit up the road ahead. Jiang Yun saw that the interior of the stone door had been carefully built. The stone bricks on the ground were neatly cut, but they were quite old, and many of them had many cracks.

“It’s hard to imagine that the people of the Northern Region from thousands of years ago already knew how to cut stones, but it seems that they also used spiritual power to do it,” Jiang Yun praised.

The two of them walked forward step by step. It seemed to be a huge hall. The light of the Guiding Lamp could only shine on the ground, and even when they looked up, it was only darkness.

At that moment, the sound of the stone door being pushed came from behind them. Jiang Yun turned around, and it turned out that the stone door was slowly closing.

Jiang Yun stopped Qin Xiaoxi, who was about to go back and check the stone door and said, “There’s no need to go back. There’s definitely a place in the hall that leads to the outside. Otherwise, the Guiding Lamp wouldn’t have been able to lead us all the way.”

“Your Guiding Lamp can even reach the exit?” Qin Xiaoxi was shocked when she heard this. “I thought it was just a simple cultivation technique for lighting.”

“Of course not. This Guiding Lamp is actually an extension of a cultivator’s perception. Through cultivation techniques that strengthen one’s perception, there is also the Guiding Lamp, a type of cultivation technique. By magnifying the cultivator’s perception, the Guiding Lamp can detect weak air currents. The Guiding Lamp’s use in the cave is also very obvious.” Jiang Yun began to introduce the cultivation techniques of the Guiding Lamp.

“Why didn’t I learn it when I was in the Sakura Sect?”

“Sakura Sect focuses on the coordination of the sword and the spirit. You don’t have a good understanding of the cultivation techniques of the senses.” Jiang Yun shook his head. “Some people can’t become a cultivator their whole lives because their senses are very weak, so they can’t capture the spiritual energy in all things.”

“Do you mean that I can learn this Guiding Lamp skill?” Qin Xiaoxi was very excited when she heard this.

“Of course you can. but there’s a tuition fee,” Jiang Yun teased.

“Don’t forget what you said. Hurry up and teach me.” Qin Xiaoxi looked at Jiang Yun angrily.

“Hahaha, after we pick up the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma and return to the ship, I will teach you this technique.” The corners of Jiang Yun’s mouth rose slightly.

“Okay, you said it. Don’t go back on your word.”

“Am I the kind of person who goes back on his word?” Jiang Yun was very unconvinced.

“Maybe.” Qin Xiaoxi snorted and then continued to walk forward.

“I have a question.” Halfway through, Qin Xiaoxi suddenly asked.

“What’s wrong? You can ask whatever question you want,” Jiang Yun said.

“Where did you read those things about the constellations just now?”

“Lin Zhijing’s Theory of the Stars is in the library of Mount God of Heaven. I read it a few years ago, right?” Jiang Yun thought for a while and answered Qin Xiaoxi’s question. “But, what’s wrong?”

“Lin Zhijing… why does it sound so familiar?”

“That’s right. Lin Zhijing was one of the most capable ministers in the State of Jing two hundred years ago. Lin Zhijing was a powerful cultivator. Apart from having some attainments in cultivation techniques, he mainly focuses on the aspects of geomancy and astrology.”

“But geomancy and astrology, aren’t these things already desolate after the appearance of cultivation techniques?” Qin Xiaoxi asked.

“You can’t say that. At that time, the Theory of the Stars that I read was too profound. I couldn’t understand a lot of it. Whether it was geomancy or astrology, they were extremely important to people from a thousand years ago. Just now, there was a lot of evidence for this. This geomancy and astrology represent the theory of all things, and the spiritual power that we cultivators can feel is the energy of all things. My master said that the two of them actually depend on each other on a certain level.”

“I see. Now that you mention it, it’s even more profound.” Qin Xiaoxi could roughly understand some of what Jiang Yun was saying, but she was more confused.

“We cultivators sense whether a place is rich in spiritual energy because of our unique spiritual power perception. In astrology established by the State of Jing in the past, it is a written judgment and explanation of whether there is spiritual energy.”
