Chapter 40 Starry Sky Map

"Am I, Chai Xin, so unlucky that I have to go to a mountain of treasures and come back empty-handed?"

Chai Xin could not hide his disappointment on his face. He had thought it would be a great opportunity, but unexpectedly he got nothing.

He was unwilling to give up, and stood there scanning all the bookshelves again and again, but still could not find even half a volume of the classics.

He sighed deeply and decided to venture to other palaces to try his luck.

"That is……"

The moment he turned around, his eyes inadvertently swept across the throne deep in the hall, and he saw a black square object lying on the desk in front of the seat.

There was nothing else on the desk except this black object placed in the corner. At first glance, it looked like a stationery item such as an inkstone or paperweight.

Chai Xin's mind moved, he walked a few steps to the table and picked up the thing.

This thing is less than half an inch thick and less than half a foot long and wide, but it is extremely heavy in the hand, weighing dozens of pounds!
“It’s actually a booklet!”

Chai Xin was filled with joy. Since this was the only book left in the hall, the contents recorded in it must be extremely simple!
But the moment he opened the secret book, his expression froze again.

There are three "sheets" in total, with six pages of content.

Except for the last page which had a mysterious picture on the front and back, he didn't recognize any of the tiny golden words engraved on the other four pages!
Since coming to Beidou, in addition to practicing, he has also worked hard to learn a lot of knowledge, including various types of characters.

But the words on this secret book were something he had never seen or heard of before.

It is somewhat similar to the imperial text engraved in the ancient bronze coffin, but it is not the same. Even though Chai Xin has an extremely high level of comprehension, he still finds it difficult to understand its meaning.

Since he couldn't recognize the words, Chai Xin could only start with the picture.

The words on the secret book are all in gold, except for this picture which is drawn in silver.

On the black paper of unknown material, silver spots are scattered, some as big as soybeans and some as small as sesame seeds. There is no logic at all, and no image at all, making it difficult to understand.

However, among the many silver spots, there is a thin golden line that connects many spots of different sizes together.

This peculiar arrangement gave Chai Xin a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

He was lost in thought, and soon his eyes lit up: "The star map in the ancient bronze coffin! This is the Big Dipper... this is the Purple Star... this is Mars... this should be the Earth!"

This discovery shocked Chai Xin a little. This secret book actually contained a star map, and it was more detailed than the one in the ancient bronze coffin.

Those silver spots of different sizes represent the stars.

And that thin golden line seems to be an interstellar route!
"Everywhere the golden line passes on this map, there should be ancient stars of life. At least, when the ancient heaven still existed, they were all ancient stars of life."

That golden thread runs through at least fifty or sixty ancient stars. It seems that there are more sources of life in the universe than mentioned in the original book.

In addition, among the stars pierced by golden threads, there is one that is surrounded by a thin red line. It is the Ziwei Star.

"What on earth is this star map made for? Is it an interstellar treasure map?"

Chai Xin guessed this, but he didn't quite believe it.

The ancient heaven was so powerful, with so many emperors coexisting. What kind of treasure was impossible to obtain? Would it be necessary to draw a treasure map specifically?

With this doubt, he turned to the last page.

The last page is illustrated with both text and pictures. It is a real map with the directions of mountains and rivers, text annotations, and even a small dot marked in red.

"Is this really a treasure map? The two maps are connected. Is this the last page the specific treasure location on Ziwei Star?"

Chai Xin had no choice but to believe this speculation, at least it seemed very likely at the moment. "What kind of treasure would make the Ancient Heavenly Court draw a treasure map instead of taking it?"

He was very curious, but since he could not read the words on the secret book, he could only suppress it temporarily.

"Well, at least it's not a complete loss. Maybe it's really a great opportunity. I'll leave it for later."

He could only comfort himself in this way, and secretly decided that after leaving this place, he would carefully search various ancient books to see if there was any record of this mysterious text.

Perhaps the first four pages record some kind of shocking secret technique?
After all, Chai Xin didn't think that the strong men in the ancient heaven would be so bored that they would waste paper made of mysterious materials to record some irrelevant information.

Comparing it with the thick dust on the bookshelves, you can see that this secret book is unusual.

"The materials of these bookshelves seem to be extraordinary. They have not been corroded by the long years. They should be considered treasures, right?"

Chai Xin put the secret book into the wheel sea and looked around at the bookshelves, but soon his eyes fell on the throne behind the desk.

"If that's the case, this throne might be even more extraordinary..."

How can you go to a mountain of treasures and come back empty-handed? Even though you have obtained a mysterious ancient book, no one knows whether it is a real treasure or not.

It’s better to try to get as much as possible back home, you won’t lose anything anyway!
Thinking of this, Chai Xin took out a small purple seal, walked to the bookshelf, raised the seal and smashed it hard.

Unfortunately, after smashing for a long time, my hands were numb from the shock, and I couldn't even knock even half a piece off the bookshelf!

Only some shallow traces are left, which cannot be seen unless you look carefully.

"What is this thing, so strong?"

He tried again to lift it, but found that even with all his strength, it still didn't move at all, as if it was fixed to the ground.

This made him quite depressed and he turned towards the throne.

This throne is somewhat similar to the ancient dragon throne on Earth, but it is also different.

It is slightly smaller than the dragon throne and is made entirely of dark gold mysterious metal with a layer of bluish-white nephrite inlaid on the surface. It not only looks magnificent but is also quite comfortable to sit on.

"Hey!"

After experiencing it for a while, he stood up from the throne, grabbed the armrests on both sides with both hands, exhaled and made a sound, as if to lift it up.

I saw that his whole body was flowing with purple light, the light was flickering, his robes were fluttering, and his long black hair was flying behind his head.

"boom!"

He actually managed to lift it up half a foot high, but after just ten breaths, he could no longer hold on and fell back to the ground.

"It doesn't look big, but it's so heavy!"

Chai Xin wiped the sweat from his forehead, panting heavily with exhaustion, and the glow on his body gradually faded.

"Damn it, I just don't believe it. If the Life Spring Realm couldn't move you, then can't the Divine Bridge Realm move you?"

He got so angry that he actually sat on the throne again, took out the source he got from the knight of Jiang family, and started practicing!

Previously, when he was in the Fire Region, he had already reached the peak of the Life Spring Realm and could even break through at any time, but he was just suppressing it intentionally.

Now, in order to get more benefits from this ancient heaven, Chai Xin is trying his best!
