The martial arts tournant venue is located directly to the west of Star Sea.
It’s situated in a mountain ravine at the intersection of Xinzhou Fengtu City and Hengxiang City. It’s said that the terrain there is exceptionally unique, serving as a natural grand arena.
In the carriage, Ye Lianyi spoke: "Although the dical Immortal Sect doesn’t participate in the martial arts tournant, they collect information on every sixty-year tournant and compile it into their sect’s books."
"Is there a record of when the first sixty-year martial arts tournant was?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"Not too long ago, it was three hundred years ago," Ye Lianyi replied.
Liu Zixuan frowned and murmured: "According to historical inference, three hundred years ago should be during the reign of Emperor Kun of the Wen dynasty."
"That’s right, the host of the first martial arts tournant was the Imperial Court back then, seemingly in Emperor Kun’s thirty-sixth year."
Ye Lianyi paused: "But have you ever thought about how this number seems rather special?"
Special?
Liu Zixuan murmured, as the year and the era of the first tournant began rapidly calculating in his mind. Soon, his eyes suddenly brightened: "It’s the Celestial Spirit number; the first was in Emperor Kun’s thirty-sixth year, and now this one is precisely three hundred and sixty years later! Every sixty years marks a tournant, and this is the sixth edition."
"Moreover, this tournant is unusually extraordinary, so I think this Celestial Spirit number should be quite significant for the martial realm," Ye Lianyi concluded.
Thirty-six Celestial Spirits, seventy-two Earthly Fiends.
These are fairly common terms in the history of Star Sea.
Especially in the famous classic "Gang Sha Chuan," where the one hundred and eight heroes are nad using the thirty-six Celestial Spirits and seventy-two Earthly Fiends, adding up to the number one hundred and eight.
The so-called Celestial Spirit or Earthly Fiend actually originates from mythological stories, representing the celestial constellations.
When thinking about constellations, Liu Zixuan suddenly beca suspicious, and a rather strange idea erged in his mind.
Listening to his suspicion, Ye Lianyi asked: "Did you think of sothing?"
Liu Zixuan grinned: "What I thought of might not have much to do with the martial realm, but it seems to be sowhat related to ."
"Related to you?" Ye Lianyi frowned in confusion.
"You should know that the Celestial Spirit and Earthly Fiend ultimately represent constellations, right?"
"Yes, that’s the genuine explanation for them," Ye Lianyi nodded.
"But among the corresponding constellations, which one is the most prominent?"
Ye Lianyi pondered: "I rember it’s the North Star, it’s recorded in the dical Immortal Sect’s books as well. It was ntioned that the tournant ravine is precisely beneath the Big Dipper stars!"
It seems that Liu Zixuan’s guess wasn’t absurd.
Since coming down from Spirit Extinct Mountain, the first encounter he had was the Seven-Star Tomb, then he obtained the Star Map at the Ghost Market, where the most formidable array was still the Big Dipper Array; now, the ti of the martial arts tournant coincidentally being the Celestial Spirit number, even more importantly, the ravine is precisely below the Big Dipper.
If one or two are coincidences, then these four surely aren’t coincidences!
When expressing this idea, Ye Lianyi was startled.
The corners of her mouth trembled slightly as she said: "You’re right, but your feeling is wrong! Actually, this has a major relationship with the martial realm, not just with you!"
"Think carefully, what are the Seven-Star Tomb and the Star Map used for? If I’m not mistaken, they significantly helped you achieve your current realm, didn’t they?"
Liu Zixuan nodded: "Indeed, everything I’ve obtained from the Seven-Star Tomb has greatly aided , and the Star Map helped break through to the Half-Step Emperor Realm!"
Suddenly, Liu Zixuan understood Ye Lianyi’s aning: "You an it helps , and it helps other martial artists even more; therefore, everything relates to the martial realm, only I happened to acquire the Seven-Star Tomb and Star Map!"
"That’s why you’re so special, the Eight Great Powers and Four Great Clans want to win you over, and the Scattered Sects want to support you as king." Ye Lianyi laughed: "I even have a bolder guess."
"What?"
"Perhaps the tasks the dical Immortal Sect assigned you are all related to this," Ye Lianyi gazed at Liu Zixuan: "The dical Immortal Sect knows about the Seven-Star Tomb and the Star Map."
Hearing this, Liu Zixuan suddenly forced a smile: "Going round and round, it looks like I can’t escape even if I want to."
"What kind of person are you?"
Ye Lianyi leaned against the passenger seat, the more she looked at Liu Zixuan, the more she felt the man before her seed like a mystery.
At this mont, both Liu Zixuan and Ye Lianyi felt as if there were invisible hands manipulating everything within the martial realm, but Ye Lianyi also had another feeling, as if the pivotal point of manipulation was Liu Zixuan!
Based on their analysis, the Big Dipper is undoubtedly the most enigmatic term in the entire martial arts tournant or even the martial realm disputes.
And alongside the baffling Big Dipper, Liu Zixuan perplexed Ye Lianyi.
Why does everything seem related to Liu Zixuan, or rather, revolves around him?
After so ti, Ye Lianyi suddenly said: "I seem to recall Sister Yan ntioned that when she brought you to Spirit Extinct Mountain, were you alone?"
"Yes." Liu Zixuan shrugged, it’s no longer a secret.
"Then where did you co from originally?"
"An orphanage." Liu Zixuan chuckled bitterly.
"Before the orphanage?"
Ye Lianyi pressed on with her queries, causing Liu Zixuan to beco montarily speechless.
Before the orphanage, where did Liu Zixuan co from?
Liu Zixuan furrowed his brows and felt a vague headache starting, but no matter how he tried, he could only rember blurry mories from the orphanage, it’s like those mories were fragnted; only after ascending Spirit Extinct Mountain did they beco complete.
And the mories of the orphanage or before it seem to have been erased by soone.
Back then, Liu Zixuan was just over ten years old, and children of that age should have mories of earlier events.
But now, he couldn’t recall anything.
Watching Liu Zixuan’s facial features twist slightly, Ye Lianyi placed a comforting hand on his shoulder: "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have brought this up."
"Phew." Ye Lianyi’s words pulled Liu Zixuan from painful recollections, and he slowly let out a breath: "What we ntioned earlier, it’s all just boundless speculations."
"We’ll have to wait until the martial arts tournant to find out. Let’s not discuss this now." Ye Lianyi changed the subject: "Let brief you on the situation for this martial arts tournant."
