Chapter 109: A Ditz (1/2)

“Origin sphere?” Lu Yun fell into deep thought.

“Alright, let’s not go into that.” A bright smile tugged at Qing Han’s lips. “At least I’m alive for now!”

Lu Yun sighed and dropped the subject. There must be a way for the Tome of Life and Death to manipulate death. I’m just too weak right now to possess that death art. Determination flashed through his eyes.

The northern tomb was pitch black without any sources of light. The further Lu Yun and Qing Han went in, the thicker the murderous atmosphere grew. A thin layer of goosebumps covered their skin as the pressure on them grew heavier.

“Don’t move!” the Dusk governor hurriedly protested when he noticed a white light emanating from Qing Han; his friend was preparing to use the Scroll of Shepherding Immortals again.

“What’s wrong?” Qing Han quietly asked. “There’s no one else here this time.”

“The Big Dipper formation mustn’t be attacked by outside forces, or its full power will be unleashed and sweep over every corner in the layout. There are no blind spots here,” Lu Yun said seriously. “Your scroll is powerful, but it can’t counter the power of the seven stars.”

Qing Han paled.

“You have to follow my instructions from now on,” Lu Yun emphasized. “If I tell you not to do something, don’t do it. Put out the fire on your fingertip and place your right hand on my shoulder to follow me.”

“Alright!” Qing Han did as Lu Yun said.

“If only Mo Yi were here. She knows the Big Dipper Formation like the back of her hand. Although this formation isn’t the same as the one in her manor, there’s more similarities than differences.”

If Mo Yi were here, she would easily break the formation, resulting in the layout dissipating as well. Lu Yun could see through the layout and avoid any fatal traps, but he wasn’t strong enough to unravel it. This layout wasn’t one of the earth, but of the sky and the countless stars.

If his knowledge of feng shui hadn’t extended to the stars, he would’ve been in the dark as well.

There was a treasure hidden in this tomb that could channel the power of the Big Dipper to create the layout. But the treasure wasn’t part of the layout, so he couldn’t see where it was.

“Where is the cosmic treasure?” Lu Yun closed his eyes and expanded his consciousness to target the cosmic energy, trying to track it to its source.

Qing Han paused. “The cosmic treasure?”

“That’s right,” responded the governor. “The cosmic treasure is the key to this layout. If we find it, we can break this arrangement.”

“Do you remember the treasure you took from Li Xing?” Qing Han reminded him. “Heaven knows where Qing Hongchen found it, but it can even expose an item over ninth-rank.”

Lu Yun paused. “Oh?” He remembered now. Back in the burial mound under the Myriad Formation Summit, a Yueshen-controlled Li Youcai had attacked Li Xing with his Seal of Mountains and Rivers. However, Li Xing had knocked the fatty’s treasure away with a strange coin.

With a flip of a wrist, a palm-sized coin with a pair of small wings appeared in Lu Yun’s hand, glowing faintly of gold.

The Treasurefall Coin.

“This is it!” Qing Han’s eyes lit up. “It can not only knock down other treasures, but also seek out treasure! ...Er, have you not refined it yet?”

Lu Yun’s awkward expression was answer enough. “I haven’t.” He smiled wryly. He actually hadn’t touched the item at all. If Qing Han hadn’t reminded him, he would’ve forgotten all about it.
