<h4>Chapter 519: Weiyang Pce, Married Couple’s Bath</h4>
The sky above the ocean violently trembled for a moment. A pce that upied a range of a hundred li emerged from the pce. It had golden halls and jade pirs, silver characters and pearl stairs, with flickering splendor, wrapped in millions upon millions of rays of multicolored rays of light and propitious vapors. They could only vaguely make out its true appearance.
Su Xing looked at the girls in shock. Suddenly, without any hesitation, he flew up on a riding sword. Flying for a long while, he finally arrived above the pce. When he looked down over the entire pce, Su Xing could not help but take a deep breath.
This pce was magnificent,pletely made of white jade. It was the size of approximately ten thousand mu. Pavilions, jade steps, carved railings, pearl rooms, fine jade, vast spaces of reflective colored ss that were very spectacr. Upon closer inspection, this pce’s interior had a towering green mountain. It had beautiful green creeks, silver waterfalls, sshing flowing rainbows, white clouds and purple smoke. Every sort of beautiful scenery and the pce had blended together into one. Even paradise in his dreams did notpare.
The nine Longevity Steles had transformed into nine enormous imperial halls, arranged ording to the Bagua. The center had a particrlyrge pce. From far away, it was like a towering mountain, more than a hundred zhang tall, a thousand stairs escting straight up, winding, forming a very densely packed scene.
What made people gasp in amazement was the pressing spiritual power of the pce. The entire thing hung above an enormous mountain. Hung all over up and down it was an odd Bagua array.
Su Xing sized it up. This pce had a mountain gate, staircase, altar, and pavilions, which practically was an all-inclusive imperial residence. Its level of gorgeousness made even the Great Liang Dynasty’s imperial city pale inparison.
Such a spectacrndscape not only shocked Su Xing, even the other Star Maidens werepletely stunned, a rare sight.
“This is?” Su Xing looked around this giant thing, feeling no signs of life at all.
“Let us go take a look.” Wu Siyou then sprung down.
Su Xing also guided the dragon boat down. The Pce had a barrier, with pervasive multicolored lights everywhere, propitious vapors bubbling forth, mist in the air, and mysterious sounds entering the air. Not only did it not allow them to remain calm, on the contrary, they felt nervous. The multi-colored lights were ring, brilliant and varied, also making them unable to make sense of their orientation. Clearly, that pce’s inside was an extremely powerful array.
Tang Lianxin activated the charms on her Heavenly River Star Riding Boat. Everyone worked together to operate its abilities, particrly with Su Xing’s Purple Fiend turning into a True Dragon to open a path. These vapors and lights could not stop him.
Very quickly, they broke out of the multicolored lights. What entered their eyes was that giant imperial pce at the center of the Bagua array eye.
The group descended onto the courtyard in front of the pce. At the center of the pce, they felt even more insignificant.
Tang Lianxin leaned down and felt the bluestone floor. She wanted to see what this material was.
“Did you find out?” Su Xing asked her.
“This is ‘Blue Jade Tile.’” [1] Tang Lianxin eximed.
Su Xing was also shocked to hear this. Blue Jade Tile was Liangshan Continent’s precious bluestone. This stone gathered moonlight and refined it into a blue color. Using this kind of blue jade to construct an array was half the effort with double the result, thus, it was called the Blue Jade Tile. However, Blue Jade Tile was practically extinct in Liangshan Continent. Only some of therger sects would sparingly use Blue Jade Tile to set up a few arrays and forbiddances to watch over their sects. Legend said that the Clear Void Most High Paths’ “Three rities Peak” pce was constructed using Blue Jade Tile, its value extraordinary.
If they looked closely, for a material like the Blue Jade Tile to already be used to make the floor, this was iparably extravagant. Also, they saw that the Blue Jade Tiles were adorned with every sort of ancient beast mark, with added refinement. Tang Lianxin then looked at the white jade pirs. The jasper jade reliefs were each constructed of top-notch materials that were long gone from Liangshan Continent. This style left even the Great Liang Dynasty in its dust.
Everyone stepped forward a hundred paces. They spotted lotus ponds. The pond water was clear, the green lotuses swayed. Two staircases lined the sides of the lotus pond. After they ascended, there was another courtyard. The center was arranged with red tiles. Above was a sculpture of a dragon swimming through a sea of clouds. Passing this courtyard, there was another pond of green lotuses and a bridge. Finally, they spotted the pce in the center.
This pce was surprisingly tranquil. The surroundings were two steeply rising green peaks, sshing with waterfalls.
ABove the front gate was a sign that was carved with three characters – Weiyang Pce. [2] These three characters were drawn immactely, beautiful as water. Each and every stroke was elegant and brilliant, making them unable to help but rx.
“Weiyang Pce???”
Su Xing’s mouth hung agape.
“Isn’t this that pce from Liangshan Continent’s legendary Nine Firmaments Xuan Nü?” Su Xing vaguely still remembered this legend.
Xi Yue nodded.
“So it turns out the legendary Bright Moon Longevity Pce itself is surprisingly the Weiyang Pce.” Hua Wanyue showed surprise. This pce’s beauty honestly made her enthralled.
“Where did the Longevity Stele go?” Zhang Yuqi asked.
“Let’s go look.”
The Weiyang Pce was extremelyrge. Eight of the pces were arranged ording to the Bagua. Everyone split off into their own smaller groups. So as to avoid any hidden dangers the Weiyang Pce had, each group had at least one martial force general as top-notch guard. Tang Lianxing and Hu Niangzi went to the Sword Tempering Pavilion while AN Suwen and Lin Yingmei went to the Night Cactus Hall, and it went without saying that these were halls rted to “tool refinement” and “medicine refinement.” The remaining “ssic Scriptures Hall,” [3] “Evil Smiting Pagoda,” and “Longevity tform” were each explored by those that wanted to. Su Xing carried Bai Yutang along with Skilful Star Yan Yizhen who did not stray an inch from his side to the center’s Weiyang Pce, with even Hua Wanyueing along.
The nine Bright Moon Longevity Pces that had descended into the mundane world were originally luxurious, but he did not expect it would truly feel a bit like an insignificant triflepared to the Weiyang Pce
“This pce has seen its share of time, but it has been remarkably preserved. This ispletely a pce hall of Star World!!” Hua Wanyue indifferently looked about. The Hero Star that had always possessed an eye for the beautiful and refined could not help but praise it.
“But I wonder who left this behind.” Su Xing said. “In legend, the Ninth Firmament Xuan Nü lived in the Weiyang Pce. It would be interesting if we actually can bump into that Ninth Firmament Xuan Nü who rules Maiden Mountain.”
“Ninth Firmament Xuan Nü? How do you know that she is the ruler of the Star Duels?” Hua Wanyue twitched her lips, not epting this.
“Chao Gai said it, so it can’t be wrong, right.” Su Xing still remembered Chao Gai’s first descent was on orders of Xuan Nü of the Ninth Firmament.
“Chao Gai. I actually want to meet her.” Hua Wanyue sneered.
“You’ll meet her sooner orter.”
Answering her, Su Xing and the others began to search through the halls. They saw no one else, and circling through, they returned to the front of the Weiyang Pce. Suddenly, Gongsun Huang emerged from the Star Nest and sat on Su Xing’s shoulder.
“Elder Sister Little Huang.” Bai Yutang rubbed her unfocused, sleepy eyes.
Little Huang nodded at her.
Bai Yutang again drilled her face into Su Xing’s chest and fell asleep. These past two days, she had adapted every sort of wine brewing material, which actually made the little loli very tired. Now, like a white rat, she only wanted to sleep well in Su Xing’s embrace. Her Essence Spirit Rat also cutelyid atop Bai Yutang’s head and napped, a scene which made people smile.
“Your Highness, there.” Gongsun Huang hung a very faint smile and shook her head. THe Leisure Star pointed to a tform on the main hall, hinting at it.
Su Xing, Hua Wanyue and Yan Yizhen looked over, but there was nothing too different at all.
Gongsun Huang pointed, and a bolt of Star Magic shot out.
With a hua [4] sound, as if there was the sound of dry vegetation being ripped apart, that slightly convex tform suddenly wafted with fragrance. A multi-colored light surged, and an array of the sun, moon and stars appeared on the tform.
“Star Transferring Moon Shifting Array.” Hua Wanyue recognized this array’s background: “Does the Weiyang Pce hide another pce? Truly tricky.”
The Hero Star stepped forward into the Star Transferring Moon Shifting Array without even thinking, instantly vanishing. Su Xing then followed.
What appeared before Hua Wanyue was an odd space. The surrounding cold stars twinkled, and the space manifested several pces, with stars as a bridge, with moonlight as a sea.
“You aren’t afraid this array would be dangerous?” A man’s voice entered her ear.
“Then why did you want to follow me in.” Hua Wanyue cast a nce at him.
“What else but because I was afraid you were in danger.” Su Xing answered.
Hua Wanyue was taken aback. She valiantly raised her head. “Do not say those pleasant words to me.”
“Your way or the highway?” Su Xing ced his gaze on this peculiar space. More than a dozen floating pces made for a feast for the eyes. Seeing the pce flow with starlight, it was blinding to the eyes, “These pces are perfect to use as bedchambers.”
Su Xing praised. These bedchambers actually made Su Xing enraptured.
Although his Immortal’s Abode was good, that pce was extremely pitifulpared to the Weiyang Pce.
“The man finally says something nice to hear.” Hua Wanyue faintly smiled. It was obvious she took a great fancy to these pces.
After the Weiyang Pce appeared, the other beauties already returned in session from the other pces to the main za.
All of the girls summarized the situation to Su Xing. They did not find any anomalies, and it appeared the Weiyang Pce was indeed deserted, but the Longevity Stele nevertheless was not found. Even the Longevity Cultivation Method was gone, which made them feel odd.
As far as divination was concerned, Knowledge Star Wu Xinjie was far more adept than he was. They could only wait until she returned.
“Right, Elder Sister Siyou and I noticed a very interesting ce, and even Elder Sister Siyou is interested. Young Su, you definitely will like it, too.” Zhang Yuqi craftily smiled.
“What ce?” Su Xing was somewhat interested in what could make Wu Siyou moved.
Everyone looked at Wu Siyou. The Harm Star’s face was somewhat flushed, her expression surprisingly was somewhat dodgy.
“Wow, what is it, Elder Sister Siyou, to surprisingly make Elder Sister Siyou bashful?” Shi Yuan shouted in an overexaggerated manner.
Lin Yingmei and Hu Niangzi showed curious expressions.
“Nothing, that ce is not worth a mention. You all do not need to mind the Damage Star’s babbling. Your Servant is not interested.” Wu Siyou’s words betrayed her heart.
“Little Sister, what pce did you go to?” Zhang Feiyu asked.
“The ce Sisters can bathe in!” Zhang Yuqi snickered.
All of the girls perspired.
The Jasper Moon Pce was located at the kan [5] position of the Bagua. This was a considerably spacious pce, and the inside did not have too many decorations. However, there was a public bath. This pond water’s surface was clear and limpid, reflecting the moonlight. The bath was like the dew of immortals.
“A Huaqing Pool.” Xi Yue recognized this water. The Huaqing Pool enriched Immortal Water by taking in moonlight. Regardless of who bathed within, they could be born again, extend their life, and it was even helpful in advancing cultivation.
Su Xing also remembered that he had seen one before at the Devil Star Pce. That time, Great de Guan Ying just so happened to be recovering her wounds with the Huaqing Pool. THe result was that something embarrassing happened between them. Now, Guan Ying was already trapped in the pagoda, out of the Star Duels. Everything seemed like a dream, making him sigh.
“Young Master, what are you thinking of?” Lin Yingmei interrupted Su Xing’s contemtion.
Su Xing returned to his senses. He suddenly noticed all of the girls were “ravenously” looking at him. From those pressing expressions, they clearly very much wanted to enter the water.
“I’ll step back. You girls can wash first.” Su Xing smiled.
“Young Su, who let you step back.” Zhang Yuqi gently smiled. She wished for the whole world to be in chaos: “Since Young Su is our contractor, we naturally need to bathe together, does any Sister oppose?”
The Damage Star looked around at all the Sisters, craftily winking.
All of the girls were bashful. They finally understood why Wu Siyou would be red in the face just now. As it turned out, they had already decided, and the girls had absolutely no reason to oppose.
“Eh?? Married couples’ bath?”
The Hua Wanyue who had been preparing to enjoy the Huaqing Pool was dumbstruck.
