Chapter 282.2: Dragon Crown Prince of the East Sea (1/2)

“No wonder this place is called Levitating Island!” Deep inside the island, Lu Yun looked up at the colossal landmass hovering in the sky with unmasked awe. Levitating Island’s heart was, well, a huge levitating island about five thousand kilometers across. True to its name, it floated at least fifty thousand meters above sea level.

Below the island was an endless inner sea, wrapped in a barrier. Despite its bounded nature, Lu Yun was nevertheless unable to see where it ended. The floating island’s inner sea was just as mysterious as the North Sea, filled with danger and opportunity alike.

“Hmm?” He paled suddenly. He soared a few thousand meters into the air, scanning the waters below.

“What have you discovered?” Close behind him, Qing Han asked curiously. The little fox hung wide-eyed on his shoulder, clearly wondering the same thing.

“This Levitating Island follows a natural ‘pearl-in-jade’ layout in the terrain!” Lu Yun gasped in surprise. “If there’s a great tomb here, the one buried inside is either an irredeemable devil or a veritable saint…”

The pearl-in-jade layouts he’d seen back on Earth had only involved small marshes. A dozen kilometers of land, at most. Levitating Island, on the other hand, was a perfect pearl-in-jade that spanned several thousand times as much space.

“Did you just say there’s a tomb here?” The little fox’s eyes lit up. Mo Yi had told her that Levitating Island held the secret to the ancient monster spirit ancestor’s tomb. If she could find it, she would be able to find herself and regain her strength.

“Not necessarily. The terrain layout is suitable for a tomb to be built here, that’s all. I’m not saying there’ll actually be one.” Lu Yun shook his head. The sea’s feng shui was completely obscure to him, and a casual glance had failed to yield any useful information at all.

He landed, and found a secluded place to wait. Moments later, Aoxue and Beigong Yu arrived with Xing Mou. The little girl’s astral constitution meant that her talent was exceptional. Given time to develop, she would be able to reach dao immortal realm without much difficulty, so he naturally wouldn’t leave her on Levitating Island for the Donglin Clan.

He hadn’t hidden the truth from her, after which she’d chosen… ah, chosen to follow Qing Han. As such, Aoxue no longer felt any hostility toward her. What surprised Lu Yun and the others the most, though, was that Qing Han had taken her on as a disciple! Xing Mou was none too pleased about it, but she did accept the arrangement.

Qing Han was the future Dao Sovereign of the world, the first and foremost. As his first student, Xing Mou would become especially prominent in turn. Neither of them realized that at this moment, of course.

……

“A dragon sleeps in mountains coiled,

“Those deathly cliffs with mysteries roiled.

“Danger shies if mountains hide,

“In stars bright and waters wide!”

Lu Yun took out his feng shui compass, chanting a phrase of the Dragonsearch Invocation.

Hum.

Silvery starlight burst from the luopan, transforming the endless sea before him into something drastically different—at least visually. Star after star appeared over the cerulean blue, blending the dazzling celestial radiance with the boundless sea waters. Before long, the sea looked like an indistinguishable field of stars.

Beneath the starry waves was a foggy barrier, hiding a certain place within the deep blue. This was a kind of layout based on the constellations, and his cosmic feng shui method would be able to do the same, if he reached a high enough level with it.

There is indeed a tomb here! As Lu Yun took a deep breath, his eyes became a glistening silver.

“Five stars orbit in the skies, five dragon veins course the ground.
