Chapter 511. The Bagua Diagram, Guiding the Star Path
Rays of light emerged and gathered together, finally forming a small scroll. The scroll did not look particularly special, but the moment it appeared, the surroundings were enveloped by a unique power.
When Jiang Ningxian saw it, her eyes lit up. "This... is Fuxi's Bagua Diagram?"
Fuxi, like Shennong, was also a Human Sovereign Celestial Emperor who had once made tremendous contributions to heaven, earth, and the universe.
More importantly, he was very likely the first supreme expert in the history of the human race. It was because of Fuxi that the Bagua and the doctrine of innate yin and yang came to be.
However, because that era was far too ancient, very few records of him remained.
Even so, one thing was certain. Anything connected to a Human Sovereign Celestial Emperor would never be ordinary.
More importantly, Jiang Ningxian knew about Fuxi's Bagua Diagram. One of the reasons she had descended to Earth ahead of her clan back then was that she wanted to find this object.
However, Lu Yuan had found it before her, and Jiang Ningxian had not taken issue with it. She felt that everyone had their own fortune, and some things could not be forced. As time passed, she had almost forgotten about it.
Now, Lu Yuan had taken it out.
"Fuxi's Bagua Diagram was refined by a Human Sovereign Celestial Emperor and possesses mysterious, unfathomable power. With it, we will definitely be able to find the path to the Celestial Star, and we absolutely will not lose our way," Jiang Ningxian remarked and immediately let out a breath of relief.
Without the Teleportation Dao Platform, no one knew how long it would take them to reach their destination. They might not even reach the Celestial Star at all.
Perhaps they would spend several years on the journey.
But now, those problems were solved. At the very least, they would not lose their way in space.
Lu Yuan did not say anything more. He took a deep breath, then dripped a drop of blood onto the Bagua Diagram.
He had the domain point, so as long as he activated his soul power and guided the diagram with his will, it would be able to show them the correct path.
Buzz, buzz, buzz.
Soon, rays of light surged out from the Bagua Diagram and gathered, eventually forming one dazzling star after another.
It made them feel as though they had stepped straight into a vast starfield, with brilliant starlight and the boundless universe seemingly contained within it.
However, Lu Yuan paid no attention to that. As his mind stirred, the stars lit up, and a line slowly appeared.
The line passed through many stars and pointed toward a certain direction within that starfield, where a star lay wrapped in bolts of thunder.
"Found it. That is the Celestial Star," Lu Yuan commented with a twinkle in his eyes. "We only need to follow the direction indicated by the Bagua Diagram, and we will be able to arrive."
Although he had not used Fuxi's Bagua Diagram for a long time, it had proven invaluable at the critical moment. This was one of the reasons he had insisted on obtaining it back then.
He had always known that sooner or later, he would leave Earth and enter the wider cosmos. Fuxi's Bagua Diagram would be indispensable.
Now, had it not proven its worth?
"Let's not waste time then. We move out now." Jiang Ningxian then continued, "Other things may happen along the way. We cannot delay any longer."
No one present had any objection.
Lu Yuan opened a void passage.
Now that the Teleportation Dao Platform had failed, they could only rely on his methods.
It took effort and required much power to sustain, but to Lu Yuan, it was not a heavy burden. His reserves ran deep, and he had already reached the Creation Immortal Realm, so there was no need to worry.
Soon, the group once again began traveling as they had when they had first left Earth, relying on the void passages Lu Yuan opened to cross one planet after another.
Lu Yuan also discovered that the Thunderflash Starfield was indeed different from the Milky Way Starfield.
Almost every celestial body here contained the power of thunder. On some planets, heavenly thunder rumbled day and night. Let alone ordinary people, even ordinary Awakened would not be able to withstand it.
No wonder this place was called the Thunderflash Starfield.
Time passed bit by bit.
Several days later, Lu Yuan and the others walked out from a void passage. They stood on a planet that was not very large, a place wrapped in perpetual night.
Thunder occasionally sounded above them, but compared to the planets they had seen before, the environment here was much better. More importantly, everyone discovered that this planet was suitable for life.
It was rather similar to Earth, with mountains, water, and everything necessary for survival.
After all, within this universe, planets capable of supporting life had more or less similar conditions no matter where they were.
"According to the star map's records, we should still be about ten days away from the Celestial Star. Everyone, rest for now."
Jiang Ningxian walked over and gave the instruction. Everyone present was above the Immortal Realm, so they would not feel actual tiredness. However, they were still crossing the galaxy.
During the journey, they had to withstand spatial pressure, and once they reached the Celestial Star, they would likely have to face all sorts of situations. Therefore, they had to keep themselves in peak condition at all times.
"Yes, Saintess," the Jiang Clan disciples replied, then sat cross-legged and began to recover.
Although they knew this was a planet with life, none of them were interested. They were already used to crossing starfields.
Jiang Haokong also said nothing. These days, he had been thinking about the same question almost every day.
Once they reached the Celestial Star, they would have to fight the so-called Extracosmic Heavenly Demons.
Although he did not have the power of Providence and possessed no methods that restrained those existences, he did not care.
A true expert could slay enemies without relying on external objects.
"Ten more days. How is it? Has Senior sent any news?" Lu Yuan asked as he looked toward the boundless void.
When they had set out, they had sent word that they would hurry to the Thunderflash Starfield. Yet after so long, there had been no news from Jiang Taiyu's side.
At first, they had thought it was because Jiang Taiyu had to fight the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, but later, they realized something was off.
It had already been almost a month, and they were constantly approaching their destination. By now, there should have been news no matter what.
However, Jiang Ningxian shook her head.
"That is a little strange." Lu Yuan frowned, though he was not especially worried.
Jiang Taiyu was a Supreme Immortal with astonishing cultivation, while the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons had only just begun descending.
At most, he would run into some trouble. For something to happen to such a figure was almost impossible.
After that, Lu Yuan stopped thinking about it and prepared to sit down cross-legged to recover.
But very soon, Jiang Ningxian suddenly asked, "Lu Yuan, have you noticed? Ever since we landed, this planet has been quiet. Quiet to an abnormal degree."
