Luo Qingchen was utterly shocked upon hearing this.
"Seven Stars Gather" clearly refers to the collection of seven fragments of the Star Map.
And "Dragon Maiden Returns to Position" is obviously talking about Bai Ling’er!
"It seems we’re on the right path."
Luo Qingchen exclaimed excitedly.
"The journey to the Beast Mountains is imperative!"
Su Xiaowan was somewhat worried.
"But the sect is currently preventing us from going there…"
"Then we’ll go secretly."
A resolute light flashed in Luo Qingchen’s eyes.
"This opportunity is too rare to miss."
At this moment, the words on the bronze disc began to change.
New content gradually appeared.
Bai Ling’er continued to read aloud.
"Polaris guides the way to where?"
"Stone Gate locked tight, bloodline opens."
"Within three days, timing appears."
The last sentence made Luo Qingchen’s heart jolt.
"Within three days?"
He quickly pondered the meaning of these words.
"Does this mean something specific will happen within those three days?"
Lin Wan’er was deep in thought.
"Could it be referring to some change in celestial phenomena?"
Su Xiaowan suddenly remembered something.
"I recall Master mentioning that there would be a meteor shower in the coming days."
Luo Qingchen’s eyes lit up.
"That’s right! A meteor shower!"
"The ancient tome mentioned that the Star Altar often manifests under specific celestial conditions."
Now everything made sense.
The appearance of the meteor shower might activate the Star Altar within the Beast Mountains, and they must arrive before this timing comes.
"So when do we set out?"
Su Xiaowan asked.
Luo Qingchen looked out at the night’s scenery.
"Tomorrow night."
"Under the cover of night, we’ll leave the sect unnoticed."
The three began to draft a detailed action plan.
Lin Wan’er took charge of preparing necessary elixirs and supplies.
Su Xiaowan prepared various talismans for emergencies.
Luo Qingchen had to find ways to gather more intelligence on the Beast Mountains.
"Remember, this operation must be absolutely confidential."
Luo Qingchen sternly reminded.
"No one can know our true purpose."
The two girls nodded in understanding.
The words on the bronze disc gradually faded, eventually disappearing completely.
Bai Ling’er also appeared exhausted from the great effort.
"Ling’er, you’ve worked hard."
Lin Wan’er lovingly embraced the little girl.
"Tomorrow marks the beginning of a new adventure."
Luo Qingchen gazed at the night sky outside, his heart filled with anticipation.
The journey to the Beast Mountains was about to begin, and this adventure could very well change their destinies.
No matter how perilous the road ahead, they were ready.
To uncover the ultimate secret of the Star Map, for Bai Ling’er’s future, they were willing to face any challenge.
At dusk the next day, Luo Qingchen and the others began their final preparations as planned.
Lin Wan’er partitioned various elixirs and supplies into several storage bags, ensuring everyone had enough provisions.
Su Xiaowan checked her reserve of talismans—attack, defense, and auxiliary talismans were all included.
"This time, I’ve prepared some special talismans."
Su Xiaowan said mysteriously.
"Including Concealing Breath Talismans to hide our presence, and Instant Teleportation Talismans for emergency escapes."
Luo Qingchen nodded in approval.
"Well thought out."
He himself was organizing his equipment, including the Black Dragon Sword, Star Map bronze disc, and some items confiscated from Elder Jia.
"By the way, we need a reasonable excuse for leaving."
Lin Wan’er reminded.
"It’d be troublesome if discovered."
Luo Qingchen had already thought of this issue.
"I’ve already asked Elder Qin for leave, claiming I’m going to the workshop to purchase some cultivation materials."
"No one will suspect anything for a short while."
After nightfall, the three quietly left the courtyard.
The sect’s patrols were relatively lax, allowing them to easily avoid the guards’ notice.
They arrived at a secluded corner behind the sect’s mountain, where Luo Qingchen took out a prepared rope.
"Descending from here allows us to bypass the gate’s checks."
Carefully, the three descended along the rope, soon reaching the foot of the mountain.
"Next, we need to walk a short distance, and once we reach a safe area, we’ll use the flying artifact."
Luo Qingchen led the way, having planned out the route clearly.
Moonlight bathed the mountain path, providing them with faint illumination as they moved forward.
Bai Ling’er was cradled in Lin Wan’er’s arms, the little girl seemed very excited, often glancing around at the scenery.
"She seems to be really looking forward to this trip."
Lin Wan’er whispered.
Luo Qingchen turned back to look at Bai Ling’er and noticed the golden light faintly flickering at her brow.
"She can sense the proximity of the target."
After about an hour of walking, they finally left the Qingyun Sect’s influence.
Luo Qingchen took out the flying artifact—a Cloud Mist Boat he had previously confiscated from the enemy.
"Come aboard, we need to speed up."
The three boarded the Cloud Mist Boat, flying into the night sky towards the direction of the Beast Mountains.
The night wind howled past, carrying the fresh scent of the mountain forest.
The land below seemed mysterious and serene under the moonlight.
"According to the map, we need to fly for about three more hours."
Luo Qingchen estimated the time as he steered the Cloud Mist Boat.
"We aim to reach the outskirts of the Beast Mountains before dawn."
Su Xiaowan curiously inquired.
"Are we heading straight into the depths of the mountains?"
Luo Qingchen shook his head.
"Too risky."
"We’ll first find a landing spot on the outskirts, then plan the specific exploration."
As their flight continued, the terrain ahead gradually became rugged.
The sprawling peaks appeared like sleeping giants in the night, exuding a primal and wild aura.
"We’re here."
Luo Qingchen pointed towards the mountains ahead.
"That’s the Beast Mountains."
