As he walked on the road of the Illusion Heavenly Lake, each inch of the land beneath his feet were filled with the amorous feeling of a foreign country. Once again, Qin Wushuang used the communication jade plate and tried to contact Qin Yunran and the others. However, each time he had failed. Qin Wushuang felt somewhat depressed.
It would definitely not be a good thing when this communication jade plate could not be used. When he could not contact Qin Yunran and others, he could still find out at the Karakorum Immortal Clan.
However, he needed to use the communication jade plate to contact Ying Long and Black Panther. These two people were the eyes he had set up at the Judgment and the Orderly Mountain Prefecture. They were two barriers to protect the human countries. Once someone were to invade the human countries, they could contact Qin Wushuang the first time.
If the communication jade plate could not be used, then Ying Long could only contact Bao Bao and the others. Hopefully Bao Bao could inform the human countries in time.
Fortunately, Qin Wushuang had made a lot of preparation beforehand. Or else, he would be caught unprepared. All of his steps would be thrown into a chaotic state.
Indeed, the terrain of the Illusion Heavenly Lake had more lakes. For almost each section of the path Qin Wushuang had take, he could see the ups and downs of the high mountains.
The scope of the cities of the Illusion Heavenly Lake was also incomparable to the ones at Xuan Yuan Mound. However, generally speaking, the number of cities and the density of the cities was more than those at the Xuan Yuan Mound.
After having flew in the air for a while, Qin Wushuang had finally arrived at a nearby city. This city that was called the Succession Golden Castle City was equivalent to the capital city of a prefecture in the Xuan Yuan Mound. It surely holds a high level.
However, regarding the city scope, it was only half of the capital city in the Danxia Prefecture. Despite of this fact, it did not influence for it to be flourishing.
For a city like the Golden Castle, of course it was open. On the contrary, it did not have much local customs and had more of the amorous aspect of all parts of the country. It incorporated diverse things.
Qin Wushuang did not appear out of the place as he dressed in clothing of the Xuan Yuan Mound. After he had entered the city, the first thing Qin Wushuang did was to look for the local free martial artist union.
Qin Wushuang knew that in any place, the number of the freelance martial artists would be great. Certainly, the freelance martial artists would not be the main stream of the Forbidden Spiritual Zone. However, they would be a surge of force that would never get annihilated.
The Freelance Martial Artist Union was also the place where information had traveled the most. Indeed, someone came out to welcome him when Qin Wushuang had arrived at the entrance of the union. It was a young teenager that appeared to have delicate features and seemed to be quick-witted.
“This Young Master have out of ordinary elegant bearing, please come inside, ha ha.”
Qin Wushuang walked and this young Butler immediately lead the way. He appeared to be eagerly attentive: “Young Master, would you need some drinks?”
Qin Wushuang said lightly: “Just do what you want.”
Now, Qin Wushuang had a sufficient amount of crystal stones. Therefore, he would not care about this little amount of spending. The Freelance Martial Artist Union was famous for being fair. They would not trick or murder these freelance martial artists.
Qin Wushuang also gave some tips along the way. That receiving Butler had become even more joyful. When freelance martial artists spends money here, they would not get much of a commission.
However, if the freelance martial artist was generous, the tips they had given would belong to them. They would not need to submit it.
To a receiving butler, Qin Wushuang’s reward was close to almost a month of his salary. Naturally, he was delighted.
He could not refrain himself from shooting a few more glances at Qin Wushuang. Then, he went to prepare the drinks with joy.
Indeed, money would make the Devil turn the millstone. By giving the tips, it had allowed the drinks and side dishes to be bought up quickly to Qin Wushuang. He poured a drink and felt the gloominess was slightly reduced after it went down into his stomach.
“Junior Bro, come here.” Qin Wushuang waved his hand.
That young Butler jogged over with full of smiles: “Young Master, what can I do for you?”
“There are no instruction, come sit and drink with me. I want to ask you something.”
That young teenager said with smiles of radiation: “You have found the right person. Talking about making some inquiries, although there are many receiving butlers, no one had the ears as me!”
When he saw Qin Wushuang remained unmoved, this young butler sensed that he went abroad. Revealing an embarrassed smile, he said: “Of course, seeing you like this, you don’t look like someone looking for random gossips. Ha ha, if it’s something about the general outlook, I know about it.”
Qin Wushuang said lightly: “First get me a map of the Illusion Heavenly Lake.”
The young man snapped his finger and laughed: “That’s easy, but…”
Of course, Qin Wushuang knew the implied meaning as he pushed out a few crystal stones: “Enough?”
The eyes of that young man shone. These crystal stones would be enough to purchase five maps. He only took one of it at the moment and laughed, “This one is enough.”
“Go take it, buy a detailed one. Also, keep it a secret.” Qin Wushuang did not speak much, yet he had instructed the necessary things.
That young man had appeared to judge the situation clearly as he said with a laugh: “Rest assured, leave it to me.”
Upon seeing this young man being clear and quick-witted, Qin Wushuang did dot doubt him. As he enjoyed the delicious drink and food, he pondered of why did that communication jade plate not be working?
“If this Illusion Heavenly Lake forbids the use of communication jade plate through out the territory, it appeared impossible. Then, most likely the problem comes from that Immortal Leaf Flying Boat. It must be the prohibition from that flying boat that had temporarily sealed our communication jade plate.” Qin Wushuang surmised it this way.
Just when he was deep in thought, that young man already returned swiftly. He handed over a scroll of map with a chuckle: “Young Master, this is the thing you wanted. No other map would be more detailed than this one at the Golden Castle City.”
Qin Wushuang gave a “Ok” sound and unfold this map. Naturally, this map was incomparable to the map he had acquired from the Seven Deadly Arrays Formation.
This map was only a scroll of big map. It only had a general structure and some key places.
Unfortunately, the map Qin Wushuang had acquired from the Seven Deadly Arrays Formation were only for the Xuan Yuan Mound and the Endless Eastern Sea as the Illusion Heavenly Lake was not part of it.
Qin Wushuang flipped through it for a moment and verified that the location of this Golden Castle City was at least two to three million miles away from that Karakorum Immortal Mountain.
Then, he looked at that map and saw this place was about a million miles from the border of the Xuan Yuan Mound. Now, Qin Wushuang realized how badly they were played by the Immortal Leaf Flying Boat.
He looked at the map and calculated the general route. When he closed the map, Qin Wushuang asked: “Little brother, if following this route, which powerhouse’s territory would I pass when trying to reach the Karakorum Immortal Clan?”
That young man shoot a glance at the map and scratched his head: “Ha ha, Young Master, this is a difficult question. Regarding the exact distribution of the powerful powerhouse, in fact I don’t know exactly about it.”
Upon seeing Qin Wushuang appeared somewhat unhappy, the young man immediately said: “However, I know the general powerhouses of the Illusion Heavenly Lake and some of their general information.”
“Tell me about it.” Qin Wushuang said while not battling his eyelid.
Seeing Qin Wushuang did not interrupt him, that young Butler had a confidence boost: “In our Illusion Heavenly Lake, the totem clan is the Karakorum Immortal Clan. Beneath the Karakorum Immortal Clan, there are six major Daoist sects that governs the entire Illusion Heavenly Lake for the Karakorum Immortal Clan.”
Qin Wushuang had also heard about the name of the Six Major Daoist Sects. However, he was unclear of the exact six Daoist sects. These six sects were the same as the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates. Only, these six Daoist Sects did not gather at the same place like the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gate,but dispersed across the six major zones of the Illusion Heavenly Lake.
These Six Major Daoist Sects had dispersed across the six major zones and formed the approximate structure of the entire Illusion Heavenly Lake.
“For the Six Major Daoist Sect, they are the Emei Daoist Sect, Flying Rainbow Daoist Sect, Seven Star Daoist Sect, High Sun Daoist Sect, Snow Mountain Daoist Sect and the First Ming Daoist Sect. Our Golden Castle City is under the governance of the Emei Daoist Sect.”
The young man talked non-stop. Although to people of the Illusion Heavenly Lake, these were information in which all people on the street knew about it. However, to Qin Wushuang, this newcomer, these were important information.
Qin Wushuang asked with a smile: “You placed the Emei Daoist Sect first, is it because this is under their ruling, or because the Emei ranks first among the six major sects?”
The young man chuckled mischievously and revealed a bouncy movement through his brow: “Both aspects. Te Emei Daoist Sect is strong. The three Chiefs are all elite warriors of the Supreme Dao!”
There was a trace of pride from the tone of this young man. However, he immediately gave a long sigh: “Unfortunately, the Emei sect only takes in female disciples. It’s even difficult for male martial artists to qualify of becoming an unlisted disciple.”
This was widely known fact for male martial artist to hold low position at the Illusion Heavenly Lake. Even at the Karakorum Immortal Clan, there were more female martial artists than male.
The six major Daoist Sects had female as the mainstream. It was as rare as phoenix features and unicorn horns when sect takes in male martial artists.
Suddenly, Qin Wushuang remembered that woman dressed in palace clothing he had encountered at the Bowl Valley. Feeling moved, he asked: “For this Emei Daoist sect, there is not a single male disciple?”
“Definitely not?” The tone of the young man sounded resolute and decisive.
“What about the other five major sects? They also do not take in a single man?”
“Of course not. The High Sun Daoist Sect has mainly male martial artists. The other four Daoist Sects all have men and women. Besides the Seven Star Daoist Sect that shared an equal number of male and female, the others are all dominated by female. In general, the six major Daoist Sects incorporated female as the mainstream.”
“This way, the male martial artists of the Illusion Heavenly Lake do not have any status at all.” Qin Wushuang sighed deeply and thoughtfully and suddenly asked: “Does your Emei Daoist Sect resents men very much?”
That young man laughed: “That’s for sure. If they had not resent men, how come there is not a single male disciple? The other five Daoist Sect are incapable of not taking in male disciples at all.”
Inwardly, Qin Wushuang was moved as he kept asking: “The leadership figure of that Emei Daoist Sect should have detest men bitterly. Or else, they would not be this way.”
“Ha ha, I heard it’s like this. The higher-ups of the Emei Daoist Sect are existences of the transcendent beings. Us people with low status cannot know.”
Inwardly, Qin Wushuang felt apprehensive and felt the matter was getting clear. He asked again: “What is the name of the leader of the Emei Daoist Sect?”
The expression of the young man changed drastically. He looked around and only said nervously when he saw there were no abnormal movements: “Young Master, don’t ask anymore. Be careful of trouble looking for you. This is all I can say. Excuse me, excuse me.”
After he had finished, he had truly turned around and left. As that young man walked out the door, someone just happened to be walking inside. They almost bumped into each other. Fortunately, that person seemed to be skillful as he twisted his body forcefully and let this young man pass. When Qin Wushuang saw the face of that person, he was shaken inwardly.
