Chapter 791: Chapter 788: Who Wins and Who Loses?
Before long, the little girl who opened her eyes once more, her eyelids seemed to be covered with heavy eyeshadow, shimmering with a bright silver light, looking quite pretty!
Her beautiful eyes scanned steadily like a scanner, her hands constantly adjusting the angle of the Megrez Stone, starting to examine it at 360 degrees without any blind spots.
However, as time went on, the little girl’s face became more and more flushed, and the expression in her eyes involuntarily turned to one of shy anger.
Xiao Tian grew increasingly puzzled, wondering if there was something wrong with the Megrez Stone?
After a while, the little girl took a deep breath, stopped her actions, and the silver light on her eyelids dissipated accordingly.
"How is it?!" Xiao Tian hastily inquired.
"Firstly, this is indeed a Megrez Stone of considerable quality, although not top-tier, it is extremely rare and valuable," the little girl explained. "It can certainly be used in actual combat."
Xiao Tian’s eyes lit up with joy, but before he could ask more, the little girl continued, "But there’s one thing I’m quite puzzled about. Logically speaking, the space created by this Megrez Stone should not be limited to what’s on the surface."
"But now it seems as though it can’t accommodate more, and I don’t know where the rest of the space has been used."
Immediately, Xiao Tian frowned slightly, then said in a deep voice, "I think I might know where the rest of the space you mentioned is used."
"You know?!"
The little girl was genuinely surprised, as even with her Spiritual Light Pupils, she couldn’t detect the hidden part, so how could Xiao Tian possibly know?
Xiao Tian didn’t explain further; he simply cut his finger, letting the blood drip onto the surface of the Megrez Stone.
Of course, as it was in an immaterial state, Xiao Tian’s blood at that moment did not have a crimson color but fell like fluorescent powder, covering the surface of the Megrez Stone.
Although it wasn’t physical, fortunately, the effect was the same, and soon the patterns on the Megrez Stone began to light up, eventually soaring into the air as before.
At the same time, scrolls started to unfold, filled with wonder and surprise that even the little girl couldn’t fully comprehend what he had deciphered.
The little girl quickly looked around, and seeing the maps purely outlined with lines, once again couldn’t help but marvel, it seemed that the author of this map was indeed quite extraordinary.
"Can you discern anything?" Xiao Tian asked.
After pondering for a while, the little girl, whose attention was consistently on the flashing red dot, said, "I’m not too sure about other places, but the place where that small red dot is shining should be the Kunlun Mountain you visited before."
"Kunlun Mountain?!"
Xiao Tian was taken aback and quickly took a closer look at the place marked by the red dot. Although it appeared to be a towering mountain range, it didn’t seem to resemble Kunlun Mountain at all, prompting him to question, "Are you sure?"
The little girl nodded vigorously and explained, "If you look carefully, you should notice that although there seem to be many mountains higher than it, aren’t those higher mountains because their starting point is at a higher elevation?"
Following her prompts, Xiao Tian looked closely and was shocked to find that what the little girl said was indeed true, and there was no mountain range more towering than the one marked by the red dot on the map.
"Does this mean it’s Kunlun Mountain?!" Xiao Tian was still a bit incredulous, so he said, "Anything else that could provide evidence?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the little girl looked at him with a "reading illiterate" expression and explained, "I kind of understand what you’re thinking. I don’t know if the highest mountain in the world is Kunlun Mountain, but that’s how it’s always depicted on ancient maps."
"Additionally, I need to tell you that this is not an officially made map!" The little girl said solemnly and categorically.
Seeing Xiao Tian remain silent, the little girl asked again, "You’ve probably heard of the Dragon Vein, right?"
Not understanding why the little girl suddenly shifted the topic so far, Xiao Tian replied, "I’ve heard a bit."
"In ancient times, it was universally acknowledged that Kunlun Mountain housed the largest Dragon Vein in the world, so when emperors chose a capital city, they would consider this, like the current Xi’an," the little girl continued.
After speaking, the little girl pointed at the projection’s small red dot again, "You can take a closer look. Doesn’t the line associated with it stand out more intensely compared to the others?"
Skeptically, Xiao Tian looked and, with the little girl’s observation, it really did seem that way, though he couldn’t tell if it was merely psychological.
Having no expertise in this area, Xiao Tian finally confirmed, "So, you’re sure that point is Kunlun Mountain, right?" Though he asked, it was clear he was already seventy to eighty percent convinced.
Receiving a firm affirmation once more, doubt began to creep into Xiao Tian’s heart. Could it be that the key Melinda mentioned to unlock the next stage of the Five Elements Crystal was indeed on Kunlun Mountain?!
However, this remains unproven, as at present there is no direct or indirect evidence indicating that the conspicuous small red dot is where the key to unlocking the next stage of the Five Elements Crystal lies.
——
A week’s time flew by, and when Ji Dantong and Sun Miaohan stood at opposite ends of the arena, it was already surrounded by a crowd of people, mostly young girls around the same age as them.
At this moment, the lively and noisy scene seemed to further motivate the two on the stage. Even without moving a step, they had already begun an aura confrontation.
Ji Dantong’s gaze was fixed tightly on Sun Miaohan, who also refused to show weakness. The silent clash of gazes appeared sharp as if swords were drawn, filling the air with a sense of foreboding tension.
On the second-floor loft, the Immortal Envoys watched the two girls on stage, beginning to make various comments.
"Miaohan’s ’Enchanting Heart Technique’ hasn’t even been used yet, and she can still match Dantong in terms of aura. It seems she has improved again during this period!"
"It’s not just her; Dantong also seems to have improved, not exhibiting the sharp edge she used to, and has learned to be more reserved."
"This contest looks promising; one has brains, the other has a Divine Weapon. It will be intriguing to see who laughs last."
Hearing this, Deng Shulan’s face immediately darkened. Though that sentence was spoken naturally, she felt as if the speaker was being deliberately sarcastic toward her.
But since the opponent mentioned Divine Weapon, regardless of how sarcastic the tone, Deng Shulan couldn’t cause trouble or it would seem like she was picking a fight herself.
Unlike the other Immortal Envoys’ verbose discussions, the master and disciple duo on the other side remained remarkably quiet.
As the battle was about to commence, Bai Xiaoxuan, standing on a high stool, furrowed her delicate brows and asked, "Master, between Sister Dantong and Sister Miaohan, who do you think will win in the end?"
Xu Ming’s beautiful eyes turned, understanding Bai Xiaoxuan’s thoughts. Both people on stage were sisters very dear to her, and regardless of who won or lost, she wouldn’t be happy.
