Chapter 493: Chapter 305: Location of the Dragon Vein (Reiterating, Not Censored)

General Yi Qianshan, stationed year-round at Kuocang Pass.

Last year, during the Laba Festival, Feng Tianming also used the victory at Kuocang Pass as a pretext to try to force the Mountain River Academy to hand over the Emperor Martial Art.

The Empress’ maiden name is Yi, and Yi Qianshan is indeed her elder brother.

Feng Jiu hadn’t expected that to deal with him, Yi Qianshan had secretly returned to Divine Capital.

This man was truly a first-rate expert of the True Pill Realm. Although it was rumored that when he initially defeated Bo Han, the Great General of the Golden Wolf Han Court, somebody had secretly assisted him, Yi Qianshan’s superior strength was also a significant factor.

"I didn’t expect Yi Qianshan to dare neglect border defenses and quietly return to Divine Capital, now trouble is not small," Feng Jiu murmured.

"The Golden Wolf Khan of the Northern Grasslands agreed with Mountain Master Meng not to invade Northern Zhou for ten years. Yi Qianshan also dared to quietly return to the Divine Capital because of this agreement."

A faint white mist appeared, and a shadow loomed within the fog, quietly appearing beside Feng Jiu.

"Greetings, Dragon Chief." The Pharmacist hurriedly said.

"I already know about the changes with Feng Tianming and the matter of Yi Qianshan. Pharmacist, you may leave now," Qing Yu said indifferently.

"Yes." The Pharmacist respectfully retreated and left.

Watching the Pharmacist leave, Feng Jiu said, "Why don’t you tell him about your new identity?"

"Knowing too much is never a good thing," the shadow in dark gold armor emerged as the mist quietly dispersed, "The Pharmacist is after all a veteran. I don’t want to one day have to silence him because he knows too much."

"That’s true, the Pharmacist’s strength is too weak," Feng Jiu nodded.

In this world, if you’re weak, even secrets are hard to keep. Enchantment, soul searching, intimidation with spiritual power... Martial Arts experts have countless ways to unearth secrets from the weak.

Qing Yu’s strength had greatly improved, and so had his enemies, making it incredibly difficult for the Pharmacist to keep secrets if he fell into the hands of Qing Yu’s enemies.

With a shake of his head and a sigh, Feng Jiu asked, "Since you’ve returned, it seems things have been settled?"

"The Four Great Divine Capturers of the Six Gates, now reduced by one, as Lu Qifeng and his disciple have gone to see Li Xin in the Netherworld," Qing Yu said with a low chuckle.

"Even the renowned ’Chasing Wind Divine Constable’ has perished by your hand. Your progress is truly terrifying," Feng Jiu shook his head in awe, "In that case, Yi Qianshan shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

If Lu Qifeng could die, so could Yi Qianshan. Although in terms of strength, Yi Qianshan should far exceed Lu Qifeng, Feng Jiu had such confidence in Qing Yu.

"Killing Yi Qianshan may be difficult, but not impossible, however..."

Qing Yu said, "Why should we kill Yi Qianshan?"

"He’s merely a pawn Feng Tianming brought in to restrain us. Revealing our strength because of Yi Qianshan and wasting our time is an undesirable worst strategy.

There are only seven days left until the start of the Nirvana Ceremony, we can’t afford to waste time on Yi Qianshan."

"So we just keep hiding?" Feng Jiu asked.

"We might as well. We’ll avoid Yi Qianshan for now as we have other matters to attend to. The Returning Dragon Changing Cauldron Technique that Shadow King passed to me is ready. Next, we’ll locate the Dragon Vein and start setting up," Qing Yu explained.

"The main body of the Dragon Vein is within the Imperial Mausoleum. The Imperial Mausoleum is guarded more heavily than the Imperial Palace, and it’s said that members of the Imperial Family who failed in the struggle for the throne were also exiled to the Mausoleum, to guard the destiny of Northern Zhou for their entire lives. We might as well go to assassinate the Emperor directly rather than trying to force our way into the Mausoleum," Feng Jiu said irritably.

"Nothing but a facade!"

"A facade?"

Qing Yu smiled and said, "Do you think those Princes who failed to seize the throne would willingly guard the realm for their foes? Even if there are those who value Northern Zhou above their own grievances, how many would there be?

"The main body of the Dragon Vein of Northern Zhou has never been in the Mausoleum from the start."

"But in all dynasties, the main body of the Dragon Vein is only within the Imperial Mausoleum, the site where the ancestors rest, to bestow the greatest efficacy and blessings upon the descendants. If not in the Mausoleum, then where?" Feng Jiu asked further.

He had truly not considered that the main body of Northern Zhou’s Dragon Vein might not be in the Imperial Mausoleum, but rather somewhere else.

"Where else could it be but in the Divine Capital, within the Imperial Palace?"

Qing Yu’s gaze fixed toward the direction of the Imperial Palace, his eyes gleaming with an indescribable brilliance, "Northern Zhou, located at the northernmost part of the Central Plains and adjacent to the grassland, has been in constant skirmishes with the Golden Wolf Han Court for years. The Dragon Vein of the Northern Land was dispersed by a great grassland Shaman seven hundred years ago. How could Northern Zhou establish its dynasty here without making arrangements?"

"Everyone thought the forebears of Northern Zhou had concentrated and nurtured the Dragon Vein within the Imperial Mausoleum, but during my last search of the Director of Imperial Observatory Su Shiyun, I discovered the Dragon Vein was elsewhere, and even the true burial sites of successive emperors were not in the Imperial Mausoleum."

The Imperial Observatory, looking to the heavens above and the Earth Qi below, represents the metaphysical and fortuitous aspects within the court. Regarding the matters of the Dragon Vein, others may not be aware, but the Director of Imperial Observatory surely would be.

After all, the convergence of the Northern Land’s Dragon Vein was also the handiwork of Northern Zhou’s first Director of Imperial Observatory; naturally, there would be some records passed down.

"Come, I will take you now to where Northern Zhou’s Dragon Vein resides."

Qing Yu grabbed Feng Jiu’s shoulder and vanished from the courtyard.

In front of the Main Gate of the Imperial Palace, Qing Yu, holding Feng Jiu’s shoulder, boldly entered through the main gate once again, and they silently arrived in the Imperial Garden.

"Is the entrance to the Dragon Vein in the Imperial Garden?"

Feng Jiu looked at the anciently elegant and quietly dignified garden, surprised, and asked.

"Of course not, I’m here in this Imperial Garden only because this place is suitable for using my methods."

Suddenly, Qing Yu grabbed Feng Jiu and leaped into the pond in the Imperial Garden. The water automatically pushed them down to the bottom of the pond.

"Below the Imperial Palace, the ground is filled with hidden Array Patterns to prevent anyone from infiltrating from underneath. Although I can break through the Array Patterns, it would alert the relevant persons. Only in this pond of the Imperial Garden is there a gap in the patterns."

At the bottom of the pond, Qing Yu stood steadily, the surrounding water automatically parting beside them, not affecting his ability to speak.

Qing Yu grabbed Feng Jiu and crouched down; his Circulating Earth Power and Circulating Ze Force operated, performing the Earth Ze Proximity, and suddenly, the bottom of the pond turned into a bog-like feature, engulfing them both.

After a long time of moving covertly underground, Feng Jiu did not know where they had reached, only feeling Qing Yu pulling him continuously forward, seemingly entering the heart of the Imperial Palace.

"We’ve arrived, it is here."

Qing Yu suddenly stopped, pointing to the golden aura that appeared in front of them, and said,

"Here lies the centerpiece of the Nine Dragon Sky Array. The origin of the Great Array is drawn from here. Without practicing the Phoenix Sky Strategy of the Northern Zhou Imperial Family and having the Dragon Vein Qi, the only way to enter here is to confront the Nine Dragon Sky Array directly."

"Seems like I fit the criteria perfectly," Feng Jiu said, chuckling lightly.
