Chapter 61: Emperor Star Ziwei

  Dai Si Wu seemed unwilling to say more on this topic, pointing a hand at the sleeping Qing Mo, his tone returning to its original calmness: "Ten days later, I will cast a spell to save her. If she still has relatives, it's best for them to come and see her before I cast my spell."

  Liang Xin immediately became anxious, and Old Man Li's words seemed to imply that he wasn't very confident in saving Qing Mo.

  The grandmaster sneered and continued, "You're also a cultivator, you should know that no matter what kind of technique it is, there's always a possibility of failure!" The old man then waved his hand, signaling Liang Xin to calm down: "This technique I'm using to save her, I've used it once before, and I have some confidence in it. I want you to find her relatives and bring them here, just in case, as a precaution."

  Liang Xin didn't delay any longer, immediately bid farewell and stood up. Yangjiao Cui followed closely behind him, while Zheng Xiaodao and Shiyi were still weak and not suitable for further exertion. Liang Xin asked Da Siwu to temporarily take care of them instead, and the latter nodded in agreement with a pained expression.

  Liang Xin set off with Yangjiao Cui, but soon after, another whirlwind of witches came chasing after them. An elderly witch who looked quite dignified hurried over and said to Liang Xin, "The Great Witch has ordered me to escort you to the Grassland." As he spoke, a whirlwind enveloped Liang Xin.

  In the dark wind, there is still a Zheng Xiaodao hidden.

  Liáng Xīn first exclaimed with great joy: "Please, senior, escort us to Kǔyǎ Guān." Only then did he ask Zhèng Xiǎo Dào: "Why have you also come along?"

  Zheng Xiaodao smiled and replied: "You've already taken away my Seven Soul Stars, since you're a good person, I'll give you another treasure..."

  Escorted by Wu Shi Xiu, they set off at a speed that was astonishingly fast. In just half a day's time, they had transported Liang Xin from the residence of the Grand Marshal to the edge of the grasslands, where the imposing Suan Yan Guan stood tall at the horizon.

  The old wizard retracted his magic and said to Liang Xin: "It's just here, I'll wait for you to come back."

  Zheng Xiaodao looked dispirited and sat in the long grass without getting up, weakly waving his hand: "I can't run, you go and come back early..."

  Liang Xin nodded and rushed towards Ku Yan Pass. As he ran, he mentally calculated the time in his heart. Before nightfall, he would be able to find his elder brother Liu Yi. The green-clad warriors had their own way of sending messages, and even if they waited for his second brother Qu Qingmo to rush over from the provincial capital, it would only delay them by about three days, which was still within the time limit.

  However, Qingmo's parents and relatives were all far away in Beijing, and it was impossible for them to come over within ten days...

  Tongchuan Mansion was destroyed in an instant, and the Kuyue Pass also suffered from it. The travelers who came and went were all pale with fear, afraid that this disaster would fall on their own heads at any time. Liang Xin's heart was filled with a mixture of emotions. For ordinary people, the calamity of the immortals was detestable, but what was even more frightening was that Dongli had destroyed the cultivation path to create such a terrible disaster!

  Moving a mountain itself is not wrong, but moving a mountain for the sake of moving a mountain and moving a mountain for the people are two completely different things... Liang Xin doesn't have his ancestors' ambition and love, there's only a mess in his brain...

  Asking for directions, looking for the Qīng Yī Thousand Households naturally wouldn't be a problem, and before long they found the place. However, having arrived at the yamen of Kǔyǎn Guān, it was only natural that a country bumpkin like him wouldn't be allowed to barge in. Liáng Xīn followed closely behind, furtively flashing the 'Qīng Yī Yóu Qí' token that Sòng Hóngbǎo had left for him.

  As expected, the green-clad guard's face changed as soon as he saw the patrol order, and immediately followed with a piece of news that shocked Liang Xin: Qianhu Liu Yi was taken away by people sent from the capital seven days ago!

  At present, in the Thousand House Guard, new officials have not yet taken office, and all major matters are temporarily represented by a hundred households. Specifically, what crime Liu committed, where he was caught, the hundred households do not know, and dare not ask.

  Liang Xin's eyebrows were slightly jumping, after a moment of deliberation, he ordered the local green-clad attendants to prepare his carriage, as he was going to Zhoufu Town to calm things down.

  Liu Yi had already gotten into trouble seven days ago, Qu Qing Shi couldn't possibly not have taken action, Liang Xin understood this in his heart. At this moment, Second Brother was either planning to rescue someone or... had been caught together with Liu Yi. In any case, this trip to the provincial capital was a must-go.

  Taking advantage of the local green clothes helping him prepare the car, Liang Xin ran back to the grassland to find Wu Shi who sent him over. However, Wu Shi was expressionless and refused to enter the pass to help. Zheng Xiaodao couldn't help at all now, only reminding Liang Xin to be careful in everything.

  Liang Xin had no choice but to return to Ku Yan Pass and set off from there, taking a horse-drawn carriage to hurry to the provincial capital.

  The provincial capital, Ningcheng, was 700 miles away from the Kuyue Pass. Liang Xin originally had an injury on his body, and after running with all his might, he was not as fast as a horse. He then arranged for a large carriage to be prepared, while hurrying along the road, he also practiced internal strength to heal his injuries.

  You Qi's identity is special, the green clothes of Ku Yan Guan do not dare to slack off, the itinerary is arranged properly, the horse-drawn carriage looks ordinary from the outside, and the interior decoration can't be said to be luxurious, but it runs exceptionally smoothly during the journey. Every 80 miles, there will be a relay station to change horses. As for Liu Yi's affairs, no one can say clearly now, Liang Xin also stops thinking about it, concentrates on operating the earth-moving heart method, and tries his best to heal his injuries.

  The process of healing for a cultivator is actually the process of mobilizing the true yuan to travel along the meridians, using the power of the true yuan to repair the damaged body.

  Now in his body, the true yuan that has been refined and can be combined with his body to heal wounds is only a quarter of what he has refined in the past five years through the 'Earthly Heart Method'. So Liang Xin didn't dare provoke the Seven Corpse Star Souls, but instead urged on his own original power. However, he never expected that as soon as his original power moved, the Seven Corpse Star Souls seemed to be suddenly stimulated, each leading the evil earthy power to chase after his original power in a frenzy...

  For a moment, the seven souls of the Qiong star were running wildly in his body, and Liang Xin was frightened with a cold sweat. However, his cultivation was shallow, and once he urged his heart method, he had to run another complete cycle of the Big Dipper, and forcibly stopping halfway would cause him to be injured by the surge of true yuan, making his injuries even more severe.

  Sweat as big as beans hung on his forehead, but Liang Xin was still unaware. At this moment, there was only one feeling in his heart: turn!

  Everything is revolving: each star soul is revolving on its own; the seven star souls are mutually surrounding and revolving around each other; the Seven Revolving Star Souls are revolving around his Original Power...

  These eight true yuan, no matter how they turn, have absolutely no intersection or contact with each other. However, the crucial thing is that during their rotation, the Seven Soul Stars will produce strange gravitational forces, which several times almost led Liang Xin's original force astray. If Liang Xin hadn't controlled it in time, a great disaster would have occurred.

  Liāng Xīn felt as if he was steering a small boat, navigating through turbulent rapids all around him, and that the slightest carelessness would result in his being smashed to pieces. To stay alive, he had no choice but to constantly probe ahead, using every ounce of strength to steady the little boat.

  Liáng Xīn didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, putting all his energy into guiding the true yuan. He progressed inch by inch at a slow pace. Originally, it would take only one hour to complete the circulation of the Grand Heavenly Cycle, but this time he ran it for nearly half the night before finally completing the exercise.

  When Liang Xin opened his eyes again, he found himself drenched in sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of the water. Looking at Yangjiao Cui, the little monkey was bored waiting in the carriage and ran outside to watch the carman drive the horses. Every time the carman shouted, Yangjiao Cui followed with a silly grin...

  Liang Xin slightly furrowed his brow, flipped over and jumped onto the roof of the car, gazing up at the starry sky.

  The sky was about to dawn, and it was the time when the stars shone brightest. Liang Xin had been searching for half a day, and finally found the Big Dipper under the guidance of the charioteer... As he stared at the North Dipper, Liang Xin's fingers gently pointed on the carriage top, while feeling the Star Soul power in his body.

  After a while, Liang Xin pointed at a bright big star opposite the Big Dipper and asked the driver, "What's that star called?"

  The charioteer looked up and smiled: "That's the Star of Ziwei, also known as the Emperor Star! The Big Dipper revolves around Ziwei."

  Liáng Xīn let out a sigh and stared at the sky as if deep in thought...

  Until the sky broke, Liang Xin returned to the car again, took out the food box prepared by Qingyi from under the seat, ate something hastily, and then closed his eyes again, starting the second cycle of the Earth Conductor's Mind Method.

  If you want to save people, you may have to fight. If you're going to fight, you need to build up your strength first. Not to mention the 7,869,460 Huixing souls causing trouble, Liang Xin also needs to cultivate his skills to heal his injuries, and Liu Yi is waiting for him to go rescue them.

  The second Grand Cycle, the third, the fourth... After the sixth Grand Cycle, the injuries on his body had mostly healed. At the same time, Liang Xin also discovered that his original source of power was slightly stronger than before. The True Yuan is the foundation of every cultivator, and even if there is a slight change, the master can immediately perceive it.

  Liang Xin suddenly understood what was going on. The disturbance of the Seven Demons' souls had caused the originally smooth and flowing True Yuan to become like a boat sailing upstream, making the process difficult and perilous. However, for his own original power, wasn't this also a kind of tempering?

  Liáng Xīn also didn't know whether he should be worried or delighted, lowered his head and continued to rummage through the food box...

  Just as they were eating, the coachman turned his head and said: "Sir, we can see Town Ning in the distance. Where are we going?"

  Liang Xin thought for a moment and then ordered directly: "People's heads, Ningbo Town Comfort Office!"

  On the third evening after leaving Kusai Pass, Liang Xin finally arrived at the prefecture of Ningbo, Zhenning City.

  Even if he had begged for mercy from the Buddha a thousand times and the gods ten thousand times, Liang Xin's worst fear still came true: Qu Qing Shi was also taken away!
