Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 775 - 25: Four Symbols City Mystery
Seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone’s faces, Qian Luo patiently explained, "The cloud qi surrounding that city was somewhat special. After thinking it over carefully, I remembered that I had seen this type of cloud qi in the ’Ancient Array Hundred Solutions Map’ of Bilun Continent."
The Ancient Array Hundred Solutions Map is an ancient manual of arrays from Bilun Continent, which is more completely preserved compared to many inheritances of the Human Race and Beast Race.
It records many arrays that have been lost on Canglong Continent.
After Qian Luo mentioned this, everyone then recalled that the surroundings of the Four Symbols Chess Middle City did not display any special geographic features such as green mountains and clear waters or azure seas and blue skies; instead, it was surrounded by clouds and fog from beginning to end, making it seem as though Four Symbols City was floating in the air.
A city dozens or even hundreds of times larger than the Sky Dragon Palace is certainly not possible to be built upon the clouds.
"This array, because it has been extinct for many years, I was not sure at first. The name of the array is Hidden Dragon Array, which is a very clever spatiotemporal array. It is a special space combined with a Transmission Array to form one of the most ingenious hidden arrays, and the one who arranged this array must be a master Array Master," Qian Luo tried to explain the origins of the array in simpler terms, but the mercenaries still found it confusing.
"Master Qian Luo, just tell us directly how to break this array. We don’t understand arrays, the more you explain, the more confused we become," Luo loudly said, voicing everyone’s thoughts.
"To put it simply, Four Symbols City is not located in any place on the continent; it exists only within a specially developed unique space. We cannot find the actual location of the city. What we need to find is not the city itself but a Transmission Array leading to Four Symbols City," Qian Luo explained, and Yue Jinghua finally understood.
The existence of Four Symbols City was very similar to her Thousand Swords and Ten Thousand Intentions Formation, albeit significantly more complex in construction.
"The Eight-character Mottos ’Limit of Earth, Heaven’s Beginning’ should actually be interpreted as the Transmission Array leading to Four Symbols City located at ’Limit of Earth, the initial command of Heaven’. On the continent, places that match these words are only a few, either the summit of a mountain or the edge of the sea. As long as we find places with the imprint of the Transmission Array locally, we should be able to enter Four Symbols City," Qian Luo explained, and everyone suddenly realized.
The summit of high mountains, the beginning of the seawater, precisely meet these two conditions.
"Having an Array Master makes things much easier; others are not so lucky. This time we will definitely be the first to arrive at Four Symbols City," members of the July Mercenary Team finally breathed a sigh of relief, everyone cursing in their minds at the people of Four Symbols City for setting such a confusing situation; it was really misleading. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
"Don’t celebrate too early. We are currently located in Geyue Town. The town is situated among plains, surrounded by neither sea nor mountains, and we must still rush to places that meet the conditions. Looking ahead, we are heading to Xuan Beast Ridge, the terrain there is relatively familiar, and it also facilitates the search for the Transmission Array’s whereabouts. Also, don’t underestimate the various forces participating in the Xuyang Trial. Regardless of the royal military of different nations, they are all hidden and profound. They have powerful Array Masters stationed, and they will also discover the knack of finding the Transmission Array soon. Moreover, everyone must be fully alert along the way to avoid any unexpected incidents," Yue Jinghua didn’t get too excited; instead, she immediately analyzed the current situation and made the appropriate arrangements.
She first wrote two letters. One was sent back to Duke Mansion, informing her elder brother Yue Minzhi that she also participated in the Xuyang Trial and was looking for the secrets to entering Four Symbols City. The other letter was sent back to the Eagle Department, ordering the members of the Eagle Department to gather all information about Four Symbols City. Both letters were sent back to the Imperial City by Fire Phoenix together.
In the following days, everyone on Titan intensified their training, and three days later, Fire Phoenix brought back two letters.
After Yue Minzhi received the news, he merely told her to be careful along the way. He had already set out with several Dragon Knights and competitors to find the nearest Transmission Array, hoping to meet with his sister again in Four Symbols City.
The efficiency of the Eagle Department was commendable; they provided the most detailed information about Four Symbols City.
Four Symbols City, also known as Sunlight City, is a city shrouded in mystery. Regarding its origin and constructors, there are many rumors across the continent.
The members of the Eagle Department only selected the relatively true rumor, which stated that this city was created by the continent’s first Dan Realm Expert, Sun Venerate. The cut stones used for the city were forged from Sunlight Stones, and the city was abundant in nature’s spiritual energy, making it an ideal place for cultivation.
The intent of Sun Venerate in building this city was to hide from a great enemy, but unexpectedly, after moving to Sunlight City, Sun Venerate was never seen by the outside world again.
Some say he was assassinated in the city, while others claim he absorbed enough nature’s spiritual energy in Sunlight City to break through to the God Realm, becoming the first Dark Practitioner on Canglong Continent to achieve godhood.
About the life and death of Sun Venerate, opinions are divided, but one thing is certain: after Sun Venerate vanished, people gradually remembered the Four Symbols Ring from Four Symbols Chess Middle City.
Everyone who received the ring was among the top Dark Practitioners of the continent.
Those Dark Practitioners who entered Four Symbols City, a small fraction of them reappeared, having broken through their cultivation bottlenecks, while many others, just like Sun Venerate, never appeared on Canglong Continent again.
With time, Sunlight City existed for ten thousand years, and countless Dark Practitioners entered Four Symbols City, also bringing their unique supreme techniques into the city.
Four Symbols City is like a giant treasure trove, containing countless treasures and supreme mysterious techniques.
Gradually, a saying emerged on Canglong Continent; Dark Practitioners who entered Four Symbols City were all God’s Chosen Sons, all potentially breaking through the limits of Dark Practitioners and transforming into gods.
"It sounds quite mysterious, but one thing is certain, Four Symbols City must gather many old monsters, can be said to be full of masters; it’s just puzzling why these reclusive old monsters suddenly thought of letting a bunch of small monsters in," Luo found it all rather mystifying.
"Perhaps those old fellows are lonely and want to take disciples. This could be an opportunity," Chen Jiangyin chuckled as he softly reminded Yue Jinghua, "On this trip to Four Symbols City, if you can find the person who made the ring, you might inquire about the Mirror Soul Technique, perhaps you could unravel why your father Yue Nian placed the Mirror Soul Array on you,"
Yue Jinghua nodded secretly; Four Symbols City indeed presented an opportunity. If Sun Venerate had truly transformed into a god back then, perhaps she could learn even more.
