Capítulo 816: Chapter 816: Beidou Array Map and Saint Island
Lin Fei knew that the Star Moon Sect was the largest sect in Jiangnan, but he didn’t expect the Star Moon Sect to also control all the major aristocratic families and Martial Arts Families in Jiangnan. Such power and wealth are unimaginable.
This is perhaps the key reason why the Star Moon Sect could become the largest sect in Jiangnan.
“Tomorrow, we will go to the headquarters of the Star Moon Sect and summon the Patriarchs of all major aristocratic families and Martial Arts Families. At that time, I will publicly abolish He Jing from his position as Sect Leader,” Ancient Moon River shared his plan with Lin Fei.
Lin Fei nodded: “Mr. Gu, go ahead with your plan. I will assist you from the side.”
“Hmm, with your help, I believe there won’t be any mishaps this time.” Ancient Moon River’s face was filled with confidence.
Lin Fei was now regarded by Ancient Moon River as the greatest ally.
Then, he looked at Lin Fei and said solemnly: “I invited you here today not only to discuss the return to the Star Moon Sect but also to speak about another matter.”
Lin Fei replied: “Please feel free to speak, Mr. Gu!”
Ancient Moon River rose from his chair and went to a corner of the study. There was an antique cabinet with an ancient-style copper lock.
He used a key to open the cabinet, revealing a rectangular, exquisitely carved sandalwood box inside.
Similarly, there was a small thumb-sized copper lock hanging on the sandalwood box.
Ancient Moon River took out a delicate key from his pocket and opened the thumb-sized copper lock on the sandalwood box.
Opening the petite sandalwood box revealed a scroll of yellowed, parchment-like material.
Ancient Moon River took out the parchment-like scroll, returned to Lin Fei, and extended it to him, saying: “Young Master Xie, you saved my life. I, Ancient Moon River, have nothing to offer in return but a Beidou Array Map.”
Lin Fei took the parchment scroll, curiosity evident on his face, and asked: “What is the Beidou Array Map?”
Ancient Moon River’s expression turned extremely reverent, saying: “It is one of the top ten martial arts secrets. The Beidou Array Map is a formation that gathers the power of heaven and earth, created by countless ancient sages and extraordinary masters over thousands of years.”
Then, Ancient Moon River pointed to the parchment scroll in Lin Fei’s hand: “And this parchment is the map to locate the formation crafted by these ancient sages.”
Lin Fei heard for the first time that there is such a mysterious array in the world.
Moreover, it was crafted by countless ancient sages and extraordinary masters over thousands of years.
Such a miraculous array would undoubtedly be sought after by all Martial Artists, with their minds fascinated.
Thus, Lin Fei said to Ancient Moon River: “Mr. Gu, since there exists such an extraordinary array, wouldn’t all Martial Artists in the world rush to observe it?”
Ancient Moon River nodded: “Indeed, all the top experts in the world want to go to the Beidou Array. However, there are only seven Beidou Array Maps in existence, owned by the heirs of the sages guarding the formation. So even if the top experts of the world wish to go to the Beidou Array, without a Beidou Array Map, they cannot find the Beidou Array.”
So that’s how it is!
Lin Fei contemplated: That means the Beidou Array Map in my hand is one of the world’s seven Beidou Array Maps.
Lin Fei looked at Ancient Moon River and said: “Mr. Gu, are you the heir of the sages guarding the Beidou Array?”
Ancient Moon River didn’t hide it, saying: “Indeed, the Gu family are the heirs of the sages guarding the formation. However, many generations of descendants haven’t visited the Beidou Array for many years.”
Lin Fei couldn’t help but be puzzled: “Then why haven’t you descendants gone to the Beidou Array?”
To Lin Fei, since the Beidou Array is created from the heart and soul of ancient sages over thousands of years, it must possess supreme Divine Power. Martial Artists observing such an array will undoubtedly experience unimaginable gains that accelerate their Martial Dao realm.
Since Ancient Moon River is the heir of the sages guarding the formation and has a Beidou Array Map, it stands to reason that these heirs should visit the Beidou Array.
Ancient Moon River sighed and said: “The Beidou Array’s power is too overwhelming and cannot be approached by ordinary people. Moreover, the Beidou Array only opens once every ten years. Only then does the Saint Island reappear, allowing people to embark on it.”
“Mr. Gu, what exactly is this Saint Island?” Lin Fei’s curiosity surged, asking eagerly.
What Ancient Moon River conveyed today seemed like fairy tales and magic, surprising and exciting him.
Ancient Moon River’s descriptions of the Beidou Array and Saint Island piqued his deep interest.
His longing for this unknown world was palpable, and he even wanted to explore it himself.
“Saint Island, as it is said, is formed by an enormous meteorite from the outer heavens, spanning several hundred miles in length and width, landing in the ocean to create a massive island,” Ancient Moon River began to explain to Lin Fei.
“Because it is an outer space meteorite, it possesses magical energy not found on Earth, allowing Martial Artists to progress rapidly, and even permitting top masters to break through limits and enter sainthood.”
The concept of an outer space meteorite falling into the ocean to form an island amazed Lin Fei even more.
“And the ancient sages utilized this meteorite’s miraculous energy to create the Beidou Array. Due to the array’s sealing nature, if not for the once-a-decade array opening, we wouldn’t be able to see or find Saint Island. Only when the array opens does Saint Island reappear, allowing Martial Artists to explore it.” Ancient Moon River narrated passionately.
Lin Fei was completely amazed by Ancient Moon River’s words; this was truly a novel world.
“Exploring the island—can one obtain the miraculous energy of the Beidou Array and the island?” Lin Fei inquired.
Ancient Moon River’s expression became exceedingly serious as he said: “Although exploring the island brings unimaginable benefits, the great temptation means significant danger. If those exploring the island mistakenly trigger lethal mechanisms within the array or cannot withstand the meteorite’s miraculous energy, they risk losing their lives.”
“This is why we, the heirs of the sages guarding the formation, haven’t visited the Beidou Array and Saint Island for years. I once tried during one of the ten-year openings, but after reaching the island, I could not traverse the Beidou Array. Coupled with the terrifying meteorite energy, I had to leave Saint Island to preserve my life.”
Lin Fei finally understood why Ancient Moon River was willing to give him such a precious Beidou Array Map; it wasn’t because he hadn’t gone to Saint Island, but because he couldn’t stay there.
“But Mr. Gu, this Beidou Array Map has been passed down through generations of your family, and it’s such a precious item. Giving it to an outsider like me seems inappropriate. Please take it back!” Although Lin Fei longed for the Beidou Array and Saint Island, he decided to return the map to Ancient Moon River.
However, Ancient Moon River did not take it back. Smiling, he said: “Our ancestors left a message: If our descendants cannot ascend Saint Island, then we should give the map to a person of virtue and ability to go to Saint Island and achieve Peak Martial Dao.”
At this point, Ancient Moon River said solemnly to Lin Fei: “And you, in my opinion, are such a person of virtue and ability.”
“Giving this map to you means that the Martial Saint of Jiangnan, who wanted to take it from me ten years ago, won’t have another chance to obtain it.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Fei realized that the loss of Ancient Moon River’s position as Sect Leader of the Star Moon Sect ten years ago must have related to the Beidou Array Map.
Lin Fei could only say to Ancient Moon River: “In that case, I will temporarily safeguard this map for you, Mr. Gu. If you ever wish to retrieve it, you can ask me for it anytime.”
Ancient Moon River knew that if he insisted on giving it to Lin Fei, Lin Fei probably wouldn’t accept it. So he said: “Alright, alright. You keep it safe. Whenever it’s needed, I’ll come to you for it, okay?”
Only then did Lin Fei nod.
