Xia Ruofei had learned from Yuntai that one of the mysterious characteristics of the Rising Dragon Token was that it would mysteriously disappear every 300 years or so, and then reappear in every corner of the cultivation world after 50 years or so.
The 300 years or so was not a definite period of time. Sometimes the token would disappear after 300 years, and sometimes it would be a little longer.
Xia Ruofei could judge from the era of the previous owner of the Ring-Tu space, Zhenren Shanhe, that the token he owned had been in the Ring-Tu space for at least 300 years. In other words, according to the past pattern, the token could disappear at any time. Therefore, he had always felt a sense of urgency when he learned about this characteristic.
This was also the main reason why Xia Ruofei was willing to take a little risk and take the initiative to tell them that he owned the last token, and actively promote the secret research of the token.
Xia Ruofei knew that the token would mysteriously disappear sooner or later. This day could come at any time.
However, he did not expect that the token would really disappear just as they made a little progress in the research of the token.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruofei could not help but feel a little scared.
If he did not work hard to promote the research of the token, the next time the token appeared would be 50 years later. For a young man in his twenties, 50 years was really a very long time span.
Xia Ruofei knew about this characteristic of the Rising Dragon Token, but the other cultivators, including Chen Nanfeng, who was at the late stage of the Jindan Realm, were completely unaware of it.
Therefore, at this time, everyone seemed a little flustered.
Chen Nanfeng frowned and said, "How could this happen? Everyone keeps their tokens in their storage space. Who would have such a heaven-defying method to steal their tokens without anyone noticing? "
Xia Ruofei secretly said in his heart, "Fortunately, after scanning the high-definition picture of the floating point pattern last time, everyone separated the token and kept it separately. If it was still in the same state and kept by one person, it would be impossible to clear his name. This time, Xia Ruofei was the leader of the research of the token, so if it was really kept by one person, that person would most likely be Xia Ruofei."
Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha also had no clue. The token was personally kept by the two of them, and it was inexplicable that it disappeared. If it had been stolen or snatched by someone, at least there would be a target. But now, there was no clue at all.
Xia Ruofei thought for a moment and said, "Seniors, my master once told me that the token would mysteriously disappear every 300 years or so. Whether it was in a storage magic treasure, a heavily guarded treasure house, or even a forbidden area, the result would be the same. it would disappear into thin air, as if it had never appeared here. So... I think this might be the case this time... "
Chen Nanfeng's expression changed and he hurriedly asked, "Fellow Daoist Xia, your token was also given to you by your master?"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Yes, my master said this to me when he gave me the token. So, I think that the disappearance of the token this time was not due to an expert stealing it, but that it had reached the time when the token would automatically disappear. "
Xia Ruofei did not have a master, and he deliberately did not mention much about this master in order to create a sense of mystery.
Chen Nanfeng had already guessed that Xia Ruofei's master was the Nascent Soul stage ancestor of the Star Picking Sect, so he did not have the slightest doubt. Instead, he attached great importance to this new information.
In Chen Nanfeng's view, Xia Ruofei taking the initiative to take out the token and actively promoting the research of the token during this period of time was a little illogical. But now, it seemed that there was a reasonable explanation.
Mu Sheng said, "If that's the case, then it's all thanks to Little Brother Xia this time!"
Liu Mansha also came back to her senses. She took a deep look at Xia Ruofei and said, "Yes! Now that we have the most crucial information of the token, even if the token disappeared, we can still continue to explore. It can be said that Fellow Daoist Xia's contribution to being able to make such important progress in such a short period of time can not go unnoticed! "
Chen Nanfeng also breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, "That's true! Although the token is gone now, we can still continue our research on it. Moreover, if it weren't for Fellow Daoist Xia, we might not have made any progress until the token disappeared. Then all our efforts over the past few decades would have been in vain! "
Xia Ruofei said modestly, "Seniors, I dare not claim credit! This is the result of everyone's hard work. By the way, my master also told me that after the token disappears, it will appear in every corner of the cultivation world about 50 years later. In the end, it will be collected by everyone. "
"Oh? There's such a thing? "This was the first time Chen Nanfeng had heard of such a thing, so he couldn't help but be interested.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Master also said that after the token reappears, the style will be the same after the combination, but the floating point pattern will be different every time..."
Chen Nanfeng and the others looked at each other, and they all revealed shocked expressions.
First of all, for Xia Ruofei's master to know such important information, it was very likely that he had experienced the appearance and disappearance of the token several times. This mysterious master had lived for at least 600 to 700 years, or even longer. In this way, the identity of Xia Ruofei's "master" seemed to be even closer to the Nascent Soul stage master that Chen Nanfeng had guessed.
Secondly, Xia Ruofei and the others had already deciphered the floating point pattern once. If the information provided by Xia Ruofei was true, and the floating point pattern was different every time, it meant that the number combination that was deciphered would also be different. In the end, it meant that a new piece of music would be produced!
Chen Nanfeng pondered for a long time and finally said, "So, every 350 years or so, the token will provide a completely different piece of music! What does this mean? "
Xia Ruofei thought for a while and said, "Sect Leader Chen, I'll analyze it first!"
"Okay, we're all ears!" Chen Nanfeng said hurriedly.
Now it seemed that Xia Ruofei had more information than them. Chen Nanfeng and the others naturally attached great importance to Xia Ruofei's analysis of the whole matter.
Xia Ruofei said, "The most intuitive understanding is that different pieces of music provide different information. Otherwise, there would be no need to go through so much trouble."
Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this.
Xia Ruofei continued, "Most of you have experienced the experience of the moon. I personally feel that... this piece of music should play a role similar to a map. In other words, there might really be such a secret realm on the far side of the moon. If we follow the scene that we experienced when listening to the music and find the crater along the route, we might be able to enter the secret realm. "
Everyone had a thoughtful look on their faces.
In fact, Xia Ruofei's inference was the most intuitive. It was also the first possibility that came to everyone's mind after receiving so much information.
Chen Nanfeng pondered for a while and said, "According to Fellow Xia, we should explore the moon?"
Although cultivators in the Golden Core Stage could already fly on their swords, they were still far from being able to fly in the sky and burrow into the ground. It was even more impossible for them to fly out of the atmosphere and enter outer space. As for the distance between the moon and the earth, it was extremely far for cultivators in the Golden Core Stage.
In the eyes of the older generation of cultivators like Chen Nanfeng, the moon was just a concept in myths and legends that they heard when they were young.
If there was such a secret realm on the moon, could it be the legendary Moon Palace?
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "The only way to verify whether this guess is correct is to find the crater and try to open a secret realm."
In fact, if they could find the crater, they could basically confirm that the illusion created by the music actually existed and was not a virtual image.
Chen Nanfeng frowned slightly and said, "It's easier said than done to go to the moon."
"Let's not talk about this for now." Xia Ruofei said, "Sect Leader Chen, we are now analyzing which is the most likely. As for how to achieve it, that's the next step."
Chen Nanfeng nodded in agreement and said, "Fellow Xia, please continue."
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Let's go back to the token. As I said just now, the change in the floating point pattern of the token means that even if we collect five more tokens 50 years later, we should get another piece of music. According to the experience just now, the message of this new piece of music should be different. What does this mean? "
After Xia Ruofei asked this question, he looked at everyone quietly and waited for them to think about it themselves.
Everyone present was an elite in the cultivation world. Naturally, they didn't need to think hard about such a simple question. Soon, Mu Sheng's face changed slightly and he said, "The change in the floating point pattern means that the music has changed. This means that the entrance to the secret realm on the moon may not be completely fixed. The next time a new piece of music appears, it should be the message of a new entrance to the secret realm! In this way, all these seemingly unreasonable situations have a reasonable explanation! "
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "I have the same idea as Sect Leader Mu. I think the disappearance of the token has already sounded the alarm for us. That is, the secret realm that may exist on the moon may soon change its location. At that time, even if we find the crater, we may not be able to get anything! And this song that we spent so much effort to get the token and so much time to decipher will become worthless! "
Chen Nanfeng nodded and said, "Although I didn't see the scene you mentioned with my own eyes, the design of the token that conveys the message is so exquisite. I'm afraid that the secret realm is also very amazing! If we can enter it, we will definitely gain a lot! Fellow Tao Xia, do you mean that... we should set off to find the entrance to the secret realm as soon as possible? "
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Yes, since we know that the entrance is likely to change, we naturally have to hurry up!"
Mu Sheng said with a wry smile, "That's true, but how can we get to the moon? Even with the help of a powerful magic treasure like a flying boat, I'm afraid that among the people present, only Sect Leader Chen has the ability to do so! "
Chen Nanfeng also showed a wry smile on his face and said, "Brother Mu, you really think too highly of me! Not to mention that I'm only at the late Gold Core stage, even a Nascent Soul stage master would find it difficult to reach the moon safely. After leaving the ground and reaching a certain height, the air will become very thin, or even there will be no air at all. In such an environment, even a Nascent Soul stage master can't survive for a long time. What's more... the distance from here to the moon is really too far... "
Xia Ruofei said, "The moon is a satellite of our earth, and it is the closest extraterrestrial star to us. However, it is relatively close. The moon has always been rotating around the earth. At its closest, it is about 363,000 kilometers away from us, which is 726,000 miles away. At its furthest, the distance between the earth and the moon is as high as 405,000 kilometers, which is 810,000 miles..."
This information was basically common knowledge for modern people. Even if they didn't know the exact data, the search engine was so convenient now. They could just search on the Internet casually and find out.
In fact, Xia Ruofei had already searched for information about the moon on the Internet on the day he finished listening to the music, so the data naturally came out of his mouth.
Xia Ruofei's words made everyone silent.
700,000 to 800,000 miles, even in the eyes of cultivators who could fly on their swords, was an extremely long distance.
The speed of cultivators flying on their swords was faster than civil airplanes, but compared to the distance of 700,000 to 800,000 miles, this speed was obviously far from enough.
Chen Nanfeng frowned slightly and said, "If I fly on my sword, I can fly about four to five thousand miles in an hour. Even if I don't sleep and rest, it will take me two hundred hours to travel 700,000 to 800,000 miles... That's sixteen or seventeen days... And it's absolutely impossible for me to fly at full speed for sixteen or seventeen days in a row. The vitality in my body can't support such a long flight at all. Even if I rest halfway, I won't be able to fly such a long distance in a month!"
Mu Sheng said with a wry smile, "Brother Chen's flying on his sword is already extremely fast. If it were me, it wouldn't be enough even if I flew for half a month!"
Xia Ruofei said, "In fact, the long journey is just one aspect. There are even greater difficulties! Sect Leader Chen just said that the higher the altitude, the thinner the air. In fact, the thickness of the earth's atmosphere is only about two thousand miles. In other words, if the altitude is higher than two thousand miles, it will be an absolute vacuum where you can't breathe. "
In fact, in addition to the inability to breathe in outer space, dangers were everywhere, including cosmic rays, ultra-low temperatures, and so on. Moreover, if human beings were exposed to a vacuum, their internal organs would definitely explode instantly due to the pressure difference. Even if a cultivator's body was strong, they couldn't survive in such an environment for a long time.
However, the inability to breathe was already a big problem. Xia Ruofei naturally didn't need to explain too much about the dangers of outer space.
