The Glorious Summoner
Chapter 597

597 The south-pointing chariot

After leaving the small wooden house, Xia Pingan flew in the air for more than an hour. He didn’t go too far. He found a place in the continuous mountains and landed on the ground. Then, he burrowed underground and found a karst cave that looked like a bubble 10000 meters deep. He took out an array disc to protect it before he landed there.

Just now, in the small wooden house, Xia Pingan was afraid that he would arouse suspicion if he agreed too quickly, so he delayed it for a while.

Extracting more than 80% of one’s soul power would have a huge impact on one’s future cultivation. The benefit was that one could immediately obtain the antidote and regain their freedom. This was a difficult choice for any ordinary Summoner, and they had to be careful.

Of course, this was only what the WAN Shen sect said on the surface. It was hard to determine if there were any other motives behind it.

“They’re willing to pay the divine spring of the seven-sun realm in exchange for the soul power in one person’s body. The soul power can’t be mixed or pieced together by several people. It must be done willingly, and it will take about ten cuts. The dream demon knew that he could enter the spiritual world. For people who can enter the spiritual world, this bit of soul power is nothing. Could this be a trap to replace me?” Xia Pingan sat cross-legged on a stone platform in a cave. He gently stroked the stubble on his chin and fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Pingan’s eyes suddenly lit up as he thought of a possibility.

Could it be Yingluo?

Xia ping-an suddenly thought of a piece of information in the secret technique of soul masters ‘soul tool refining that he had mastered.

A Saint weapon made by a demigod using his own soul power. It had terrifying power. Generally speaking, such a Saint weapon was nurtured in the demigod’s sea of consciousness, and the Saint weapon could be integrated with the body.

Holy equipment was the most powerful weapon that Summoners below the gods could master. As for godly equipment, they were exclusive to gods, and even demigods found it difficult to fully control them.

However, there was also a special situation. If a Saint weapon refined by a demigod expert with their soul power still existed after the demigod expert died and was obtained by a Summoner below the demigod realm, the Saint weapon would need to be nurtured with soul power of at least the seven Suns realm in order to maintain its terrifying power. Moreover, the soul power source for the nurturing of the Saint weapon could not be too mixed. It had to be voluntary.

If the summoner who provided the soul power was not willing, then the soul power that was drawn out would carry the summoner’s heavy negative emotional energy. It would not be able to be used to nurture the Holy weapon, and would instead damage the power of the Holy weapon.

The requirement of the mission issued by the WAN Shen sect was too similar to the requirement of nurturing a sacred weapon. Could it be that the WAN Shen sect was looking for someone who would voluntarily provide soul power to nurture a sacred weapon?

It was very possible!

As for whether or not this mission was a trap, Xia Pingan felt that the possibility of this mission being a trap was not high after careful analysis.

First of all, the great thousand God sect and the blood demon sect were enemies with the ruling Demon God’s bloodline. The possibility of the great thousand God sect and the blood demon sect working together was very small. Second, this mission was targeted at the suicide soldiers who had come to the great thousand God planet to fight for their lives. How would the great thousand God sect know that he would come to the great thousand God planet for the divine spring of the seven-sun realm?

The worst case scenario was that some Big Shot of the WAN Shen sect had set this trap in order to cooperate with the blood demon church. Then, there would be a paradox. The dream demon knew that he had the ability to enter and exit the spiritual world, and the poison that the WAN Shen sect had given him was the poison of the spiritual body. Therefore, if he really came to the WAN Shen planet, he needed to get rid of the poison of the spiritual body. He would first have to replace a way from the spiritual world, and the poison of the spiritual body might not be effective on spirit herders. How could he be willing to sell his spirit power and expose his identity for a poison that couldn’t threaten him? The premise of the trap and the trap itself were contradictory.

Therefore, the first possibility was very likely.

After thinking through all this, Xia Pingan was no longer in a hurry. Now that he had the time, it was a good time to increase his strength. He smiled and moved his hand. A realm Pearl that was flashing with red, yellow, blue, and black colors appeared. There were four small flags in the realm Pearl, ” chariot of the South “.

This realm Pearl was dropped from a flying flame bug that Xia Pingan had killed on the way to the contact point.

The other winged flame bugs and Mantis blade bugs also dropped realm beads, but Xia ping ‘an had fused with them before. This was the only realm bead that he had not fused with.

As he advanced to the seven Suns realm, the more realm beads he fused with, the fewer realm beads he could encounter that could be fused with. This was the first realm bead that Xia Pingan had obtained after killing a bunch of insects on the myriad gods planet that he could fuse with.

The “chariot of the South,” also known as the south-pointing chariot, was a chariot that carried a compass in ancient times. In ancient China, the compass was an important tool for long-distance travel. It was specially placed on the chariot and guarded by a special person.

According to the legends, the south-pointing chariot was first invented during the war between the Yellow Emperor and Chi You. There were three versions of who had invented it: the Yellow Emperor, the mysterious Lady, and the wind Empress. Later, Ma Jun during the Three Kingdoms period remade the south-pointing chariot from the Yellow Emperor’s era according to historical records.

This was one of the Four Great Inventions of Huaxia. Xia Pingan was really looking forward to it, but he had no idea what role this realm Pearl would play.

The piercing blood dripped onto the realm Pearl. In a moment, Xia Pingan was surrounded by a cocoon of light.

......

Xia ping ‘an opened his eyes and found himself standing in a magnificent Hall. Sitting in the hall was a young Emperor in his thirties, wearing the emperor’s crown and dragon robe. The civil and military officials were lined on both sides of the hall, while Xia ping’ an himself stood at the back of the Civil officials, not standing out.

A voice resounded in the hall.

“Your Majesty Xuanji, it is said that in ancient times, there was a south-pointing chariot made by the Yellow Emperor. However, there is insufficient literature and it is not enough proof. It is just a casual remark. There is one in Si Nan and it is easy to make one. My mansion has one too. However, the south-pointing chariot is absolutely false. I think it is just the imagination of the later generations of foolish men and women.”

With Xia ping ‘an’s rich knowledge of history, he immediately knew the man’s identity as soon as he opened his mouth. He was Gao Tanglong, the cavalryman of the Wei Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period. The young Emperor sitting at the head of the hall should be Emperor Ming of Wei.

Needless to say, his current identity was Ma Jun, the wood Saint of the Three Kingdoms era, an inventor. His current identity was a steward of the Wei Kingdom, which was why he could attend the court.

As soon as Gao Tanglong finished speaking, another man stood up and said, ” Lord Gao is right. There are too many illusory things in ancient legends, and the south-pointing chariot is not very credible. Confucius also doesn’t believe in things that are more than three generations old. Although ‘guigu’ Zi ‘and other books also mention the south-pointing chariot, I’m afraid that it’s just a rumor.

Xia Pingan looked at the person who spoke behind him. This person was wearing armor, looked valiant, and looked extremely conceited. He should be the general of valiant cavalry, Qin Lang.

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the civil and military officials in the hall began to discuss among themselves.

Xia ping ‘an was also confused as to why the officials of the Wei Kingdom were suddenly discussing the south-pointing chariot in the main hall today. He didn’t know who started this topic, but it was obvious that Emperor Ming of Wei, who was sitting above, was very interested in this topic and listened to everyone’s discussion with great interest.

Suddenly, Emperor Wei Ming turned his eyes to Xia ping ‘an, who had been silent all this time. He suddenly said, ” deheng, you’ve always been well-versed in these clever things. I don’t know what you think of the south-pointing chariot. The book says that the ancient Yellow Emperor built the south-pointing chariot. Do you think this south-pointing chariot exists or not? ”

Xia ping ‘an stepped out of the ranks with the banner in his hand and saluted Emperor Ming of Wei, ” Your Majesty, the theory of the south-pointing chariot is the same as that of Si Nan. However, the chariot uses the theory of mechanical transmission to transmit the force of the magnet in the chariot to the wooden figure on the chariot, making the wooden figure always point to the South. There is nothing strange about it. It is just that the later generations did not study the theory seriously, so they described it as strange!

Gao Tanglong sneered after hearing this. Qin Lang and the ministers who said there was no south-pointing chariot just now also shook their heads.

Emperor Ming of Wei was suddenly interested. de Heng, you can make a south-pointing chariot? ”

“As long as Your Majesty gives me a month’s time, I can make the south-pointing chariot!” Xia Pingan said in a deep voice.

hahaha! Emperor Wei Ming laughed and looked around, ” then I’ll give you a month’s time. If you can make a south-pointing chariot, I’ll reward you greatly. My Dear Ministers, let’s stop arguing and wait for a month. Let’s see what the south-pointing chariot deheng makes for us will look like!

It was not difficult for Xia Pingan to build a south-pointing chariot. What’s more, he was now in charge of the Wei Kingdom’s logistics. He was also in charge of many Wei Kingdom’s craftsmen. As long as he put forward his ideas and what he needed, someone would be able to get it for him quickly.

Xia Pingan, who had left the palace, returned to the governing area and spent two days in seclusion drawing the map. After the map was finished, he gathered a group of craftsmen to start the trial production. In the end, in less than half a month, he had completed the south-pointing chariot and brought it to the palace.

Emperor Ming of Wei and a bunch of ministers came to see!

When the crowd saw that the wooden figure on the south-pointing chariot made by Xia Pingan always pointed to the South no matter where the carriage went, they all sighed in admiration.

......

The realm Pearl’s world shattered.

The divine power limit was increased by 48 points. The divine power given by China’s Four Great Inventions was really generous. Xia Pingan guessed that these 48 points of divine power represented the meaning of all directions. After the 48 points of divine power limit were increased, the divine power limit of Xia Pingan’s Secret mandala suddenly became 8925 points.

This realm Pearl provided Xia ping ‘an with a spell to summon the south-pointing chariot. The south-pointing chariot could guide the summoner when he was lost. It was quite useful.

After fusing with the realm Pearl, Xia Pingan did not go anywhere for the remaining two days. He continued to study the array disc and runes underground.

After three days, Xia ping ‘an left the underground. With a serious and determined expression, she went back to the contact point and found the person. She said that she was willing to take on the previous mission.
