Chapter 737 – Constellation Map

Chapter 737 – Constellation Map

Long Chen did not say anything else. He took a deep breath and moved the last metal piece to the position Little Cat had told him to.

As expected, after he placed it, the metal piece glowed with a blue light, then the whole bronze door lit up with a blinding light. A gust of star power blasted Long Chen back. Feng Zhilin, who was behind him and about to attack, was also thrown backwards!

Long Chen could not open his eyes and look at the blinding light directly. He could only observe the bronze door, which seemed to turn into a patch of starry sky, through the gaps in his fingers. Seven stars in the sky were brighter than the rest!

It was the Seven Star Constellation!

The starry sky suddenly vanished along with the bronze door. Long Chen did not think of anything else and immediately charged into the ancient tomb. Feng Zhilin followed closely.

“Die, Long Chen!” Now that the door was open, Feng Zhilin was prepared to kill Long Chen.

She could only get the inheritance in peace if she killed him.

But when she entered the tomb, she suddenly sensed a powerful energy acting on her body, restricting her movements. It pinned her feet to the ground, making it extremely difficult to move. The immense pressure did not squash her, but merely restricted her movements.

Long Chen had the same experience. After entering the tomb, he realized that there was a powerful energy restricting his movements.

Behind him, Feng Zhilin could not move either.

There was confusion in both their eyes as they looked around. Long Chen sighed in relief. At least he wasn’t killed by Feng Zhilin yet.

They were in the main hall of a palace. The ground was covered in smooth and shiny glass stones with ripples of blue light flowing through them. It was the same with the walls. Above their heads was a deep-blue starry sky, as if the night sky was concentrated on the ceiling of this small palace. The constellations moved across the sky, consisting of blue, purple, and even red stars. It was a beautiful sight.

“What the hell is this place? What is restricting my movement?” Feng Zhilin was going mad. Long Chen was merely two meters away from her, but she could not close the gap. She could inch herself forward very slowly, but it would take her a whole day to close just two meters.

Long Chen was also puzzled. It was not a type of gravity, because if it was, he would feel a squashing sensation. Right now, if he did not want to move, he would actually feel quite relaxed. The moment he moved, even if he tried to blink, he would face great resistance.

Neither of them could move, so Long Chen now had some time to catch his breath.

“This is the power of the domain left behind by a Heavenly Martial Realm master. I’m guessing that the Seven Star Lord wanted the descendants who entered to break free from this domain. Then you’ll get the inheritance and leave. This relies on your comprehension abilities, not strength. Right now, you and the girl are on the same starting point. No one can touch the other, so it’s a fair fight. Do your best!” said Little Cat.

Long Chen did not look at her. He was completely immersed in the stars. As the stars turned and moved, rays of light appeared.

What secrets do they hold? Long Chen’s interest was piqued. He loved solving problems. He had great confidence in his own comprehension abilities, so he did not panic. If he panicked, he would not be able to find the true meaning of the stars.

It’s such a large constellation map. There must be something special. Where would it be? Long Chen’s eyes slowly scanned the image. He was fully focused on the stars above and did not notice the passing of time at all.

Very soon, one day passed.

Feng Zhilin had not found anything during this time and had started to get anxious. If it wasn’t for Long Chen, who still remained in the same position looking at the stars, she would have long given up.

Both of them were competing for the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance. They did not have to be very good, just enough to defeat the other person. Since Long Chen was still patiently studying the image, she had no choice but to force herself to find something special about the constellation map.

But Long Chen was fully immersed in the movement of the stars.

One was doing it out of interest, while the other was forcing herself. The gap between them was revealed. While Feng Zhilin grew increasingly antsy, Long Chen had already noticed something strange about the constellations.

All the stars moved in an irregular pattern, but out of the countless stars here, only seven stars far in the north moved in the same pattern.

These seven should be the Big Dipper ... Long Chen focused his gaze on the Big Dipper constellation. It looked like a ladle hanging in the north of the sky.

The more he observed the Big Dipper’s path, the stranger he found it. He momentarily put all the other stars aside and fully focused on them. As time passed, their paths were completely carved into his mind.

He faintly sensed that there was a profound law to their movement. He did not know what law they followed, he only knew that he felt good.

More time passed. He was completely immersed in the profound movement of the constellation. Slowly, his eyes started to shine with blue starlight. Feng Zhilin panicked when she saw him!

She knew that Long Chen had completely entered the zone. If this continued, he could even comprehend something.

That’s impossible! How could his comprehension abilities be better than mine? That’s impossible! she thought in a panic.

But Long Chen was close to success now.

Mental fortitude didn’t seem like much, but here, it decided the winner.
