Chapter 759 Three days quickly pass by (2)
The map of the White Mulberry Kingdom and the Bi Xie Empire overlapped with one another perfectly, while the one from the Deer Mountain Range, though it still bore a connecting resemblance to the two maps below it, looked more like a partial map of the other two with a few deformities here and there, but one could still see that its core framework was one and the same with the other two.
With his eyes fully trained on the map, Yang Qing soon located what he was looking for, which was where the three capitals were. A moment later, after he found them, and with that, his suspicions were confirmed.
Both the capital of the Bi Xie Empire and the Deer Mountain Kingdom were in the same spot, while the one from the White Mulberry Kingdom was further west from the two capitals.
Yang Qing’s eyes flickered with astonishment when he saw the location which prompted him to swap out the old version of the Deer Mountain Range with the newer one. After he did, he carefully aligned it with the two maps below it until the overlap was perfect.
Once it did, he froze on the spot with a deep look in his eyes before he let out a sigh with his index finger resting on the area where the capital of the White Mulberry Kingdom was located. The place it overlapped with, with the current map of the Deer Mountain Range was a place he was all too familiar with.
With another sigh, he took the drawing he had made earlier of the range and placed it on top of the three maps.
“The sacred graveyard torch..” he said as he drummed his finger across the drawing he had made of the area, which overlapped with the capital of the White Mulberry Kingdom.
“For them to go there, the chances are high that they are linked with someone from that period…
But what could they want with the place? I didn’t sense any abnormality in the area, and I doubt if there was it could have escaped the senses of Gu Xing. Sacred flame swans are much more sensitive to evil energies than most. She would not have settled there if there was anything remotely off with the location and neither would it have supported the formation of a sacred graveyard.
What could they want?” murmured Yang Qing as he bit his nails with furrowed brows. 𝘪.𝘤𝑜𝘮
A second later his brows smoothened as his gaze relaxed from the tense state it had been a few seconds before.
“Who would have expected the sacred graveyard to have been the capital of the White Mulberry Kingdom…It’s almost poetic.. the last vestige of the White Mulberry Kingdom, which also sounded the formation of the Bi Xie Empire after its collapse ended up being the resting ground of the Spirit beasts of the Deer Mountain Range who wished to entrust their inheritance to the next generation.
I wonder if the sacred graveyard ended up appearing here because of what happened then? The white mulberry tree gave its life to save the Wang patriarch in the end, without its intervention there may not have been a Bi Xie Empire. The world is a strange place full of unexpected coincidences..” said Yang Qing before a soft smile appeared on his face.
“Mao Mao would be over the moon for a story like this..” he said with a light chuckle as he pictured her big limpid black eyes glittering with excitement at the story whose effects had spanned countless millennia. Stories like this were just her cup of tea.
Yang Qing had a feeling if he told her about the sacred graveyard, she would likely rush to the place without hesitation to hear the accounts of all the vestige spirits of the spirit beasts that had been entombed there. The place was home to countless spirits from different periods each with a story tell. The gossip monger that was Mao Yunru would be like a fish in water in that place.
Yang Qing shook his head as he smiled as he decided once he left the library, he would do the right thing and sponsor her habit by informing her of the location. It was the least he could do, as a considerate friend who cared deeply about her, and her poor finances, what better way to help her than to give her an alternative fix for her gossip that was free of charge to boot? The only thing he needed was to get Gu Xing’s approval first.
“Gu Xing?!” Yang Qing muttered with a wide look on his face that made it seem like he had just seen a ghost.
“What if she tells her she wanted to be my dao companion? No, I can’t risk it… Mao Mao, I’m sorry you’ll have to remain in debt to the information brokers for now, at best I’ll just help you clear some of those debts..”
Exhaling like he had just escaped a ferocious killing array, Yang Qing moved on to the next part of his investigation which was on the physiques, techniques, cultivation arts, and organizations that had aspects that matched the characteristics described by the lunar fury heron.
After what he had read about the background of the Purgatory black tiger cult, his primary suspects were the twelve beasts of calamity. He had tried to access more information on them, but the brief information he got from the worn-out scroll was all the information he had access to about them. He did not know if the lack was because his clearance was still too low, or because genuinely the Order didn’t have any more information about them.
But he felt if such an infamous organization had existed, surely there would be some record, but then again, he had never heard of Bi Xie Empire, or the Sky Rendering Sword Sect which he felt more than likely had reached the ranks of a holy land or was close to one, but even with such achievements, Yang Qing had never heard about them, and he felt it wasn’t just them.
His cultivation art, the universal myriad worlds resonant light, if it wasn’t for the auspicious wood grove tree, he would have never known who created it, and when he did, it was a sect he had never heard of even a little. That art was a purple-grade art, and as its creators, they should have been in the history books in some form but they weren’t. It felt like a chunk of history from a certain period was missing completely, which was strange in and of itself.
The more he knew, the more Yang Qing felt it wasn’t accidental but deliberate, and the strong supporter of that idea was the library itself. Why put restrictions on its access, in which you needed to reach a certain realm or achievements to gain access to a particular floor, instead of allowing universal access to all?
He may call the Order stingy, but even he had to admit the Order was never stingy with cultivation resources, which was why even as qi refinement cultivators they had access to all graded techniques from orange all through to purple grade, as long as you had the mettle to cultivate it, they would let you have it, but when it came to the library, they were extremely strict about it, almost as if there was something there they couldn’t allow just anyone to know.
The judicial review committee despite their abilities and connections, only managed to get him three days, but his access was severely limited, and by their admission, that was the best case, and it only went through because the assistant director of the special inquisitors, along with the assistant director of the gold eagle guard had spoken up for him.
Yang Qing continuously felt like there was a veil around his eyes, hiding aspects of the world from him.
Yang Qing exhaled as he relaxed his body while muttering,
“I can only take it a day at a time..”
