The constellation had six main stars, also known as the Six Stars of the Southern Dipper, opposite to the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper.
The Six Stars of the Southern Dipper were not the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, but the Six Stars of the Southern Dipper. The Six Stars of the Southern Dipper belonged to the Sagittarius constellation, while the Big Dipper belonged to the Ursa Major constellation.
Some people would ask, "Since the Fighting Girl is in danger, and the seven galaxies belong to the Black Tortoise, why is the constellation the Six Stars of the Southern Dipper? Shouldn't it be the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper? "
This was because all the stars revolved around the Big Dipper, and their positions changed with the seasons and hours. In spring, the Azure Dragon in the East, the White Tiger in the West, the Vermilion Bird in the South, and the Black Tortoise in the North could be seen. In summer, the positions changed, and the constellation rotated to the low altitude in the south, so it was called the Southern Dipper.
As for the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, it didn't belong to the 28 constellations, but to the Three Boundaries Starfield.
In other words, standing on Earth and looking up at the sky, the North Star was the "Middle Sky", but above one's head wasn't the Middle Sky, but the 28 constellations that changed at any time.
For example, if a watermelon was slanted, and the stem was diagonally above, it was equivalent to the North Star. Then, with a few slashes, the watermelon was cut into four pieces, but not split open. Then, the area around the stem was equivalent to the Three Boundaries Starfield, and the other parts of the watermelon were the Azure Dragon in the East, the White Tiger in the West, the Vermilion Bird in the South, and the Black Tortoise in the North. As for whether the Black Tortoise was in the North, it was hard to say, because the stars were always revolving. The position wasn't just dependent on the four seasons, it was also related to the 24 hours, and the position of the observer.
Qin Di didn't understand at first, but after asking along the way, he finally understood.
He took the fairy boat and flew for many years before arriving at the constellation Black Emperor Palace.
The Black Emperor Palace was located in the constellation 1, which was dominated by water. In the boundless ocean, there were many islands that floated out of the sea.
There were nine large islands, also known as the Nine Prefectures, not far from each other, arranged in the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams.
Black Emperor Zhuanxu used his great magic power to separate the Nine Prefectures from the surrounding ocean. He set up a large-scale Immortal Array outside, and inside was the residence of the Black Emperor Palace's Immortals.
The five hundred thousand immortals of the Black Thearch Palace resided in the nine prefectures. The nine prefectures were named according to the Eight Trigrams: Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, Dui.
The core institutions of the sect, such as the Ancestral Hall and the Sengoku Pavilion, were located in the middle palace. This was where all the Sengoku and Jin Xian of the Black Emperor Palace lived.
Outside the Nine States, four Immortal Gates were opened for immortals to enter and exit the Immortal Formations.
Qin Di entered from the south gate and took out his identity token in the spiritual realm. After being checked, he flew to the sect affairs hall where the middle palace was located under the accompaniment of a female immortal.
This female immortal was called Suman. She was a native fourth rank Heavenly Immortal, and she was in charge of entertaining newcomers.
Suman had a petite figure and a sweet smile. As she flew forward, she asked, "Senior Martial Brother Qin, where are you from?"
Qin Di replied, "I came from the lower realm and flew all the way here with great difficulty."
Suman said, "Senior Martial Brother, you should have come earlier. Many of our disciples were on their way the moment they became Heavenly Immortals. When they reached the headquarters, they were only second or third rank Heavenly Immortals. "
Qin Di asked, "What's the benefit of coming earlier?"
Suman smiled and said, "Senior Martial Brother, look down. What do you see?"
Qin Di looked down and realized that the nine prefectures were filled with black water. It was chaotic and he couldn't see clearly.
Suman said, "This is the Weak Water. The nine prefectures are surrounded by the Weak Water, and it is impossible to cross."
Qin Di was very curious and praised, "I've long heard of the Weak Water, but I've never seen it before. I didn't expect it to be like this."
Suman said, "This much Weak Water was refined by the Black Thearch from the vast ocean outside with great effort! The divine art that the Black Thearch cultivated was the Three Thousand Weak Water Dao. The mental cultivation method that he imparted to our disciples was also the Weak Water Mental Cultivation Method. "
Qin Di remembered that Gonggong once said that he cultivated the Primordial Heavy Water, while the Black Thearch cultivated the Three Thousand Weak Water.
At this moment, Qin Di was still carrying the divine level Primordial Heavy Water that Gonggong bestowed to him, as well as eight types of fifth rank immortal water.
Suman said, "Us Black Thearch Palace disciples are all water cultivators. Even though many people have different immortal water and walk on different cultivation paths, the mainstream cultivation method is still the Weak Water Mental Cultivation Method. At least 70% of people rely on the Weak Water to cultivate. If Senior Martial Brother had come earlier, you could have gone to the Ancestral Hall earlier and obtained a drop of third rank immortal water. "
"With this drop of Weak Water, and then cultivating the Weak Water Mental Cultivation Method, you can achieve twice the results with half the effort, and quickly increase your cultivation. This kind of cultivation method is only available in the Black Thearch Palace. Because of this, many disciples flew here early. "
Qin Di asked, "If I come now, will I not be able to obtain that drop of Weak Water because I came too late?"
Suman laughed, "How can that be? As long as you are a Black Thearch Palace cultivator, you can go to the Ancestral Hall to obtain a drop of Weak Water. I just feel that it's a pity that Senior Martial Brother came late, and spent a lot of energy on other water cultivation methods. After coming here, you have to re-cultivate the Weak Water Mental Cultivation Method. It can be said that you took a detour. "
Qin Di said, "Thank you for your explanation, Junior Martial Sister." He didn't really care.
The two flew for the time it took for an incense stick to burn before they arrived at the sect's Affairs Hall.
Here, Qin Di received a new identity token and was also assigned a separate residence. From now on, he was an official disciple of the Black Thearch Palace headquarters.
Walking out of the Affairs Hall, Suman pointed to a few sacred palaces in the distance and said, "Senior Martial Brother, look, there is a row of magnificent palaces over there. They are the Sengoku Pavilion, the Black Thearch Pavilion, and the True Martial Pavilion. The Sengoku Pavilion is the place where the Sengoku gather and discuss matters. The Black Thearch Pavilion is the immortal palace where the Black Thearch used to live. It is now sealed. The True Martial Pavilion is where the Great Emperor Zhenwu lived. The Great Emperor would occasionally appear at the door. I once saw him eight thousand years ago. "
Qin Di looked at the three pavilions. Although they looked grand and magnificent, they weren't shockingly luxurious.
Suman smiled and said, "These sacred palaces look inconspicuous from the outside, but there's actually a whole other world inside."
Qin Di nodded and said, "I can understand. The Great Emperor can store a mountain into a mustard seed and won't be restricted by the size of the external space."
Suman said, "Senior Martial Brother Qin, turn left from here. Behind a black pine forest is the Ancestral Hall. Do you want to go now or wait for two days? "
Qin Di thought for a moment and said, "Wait for me to fast for three days. After bathing and changing my clothes, it won't be too late to go."
Suman said, "Then I will bring you to the immortal palace where you live."
Qin Di followed her to the "Li Province" and found his residence.
This was a small immortal palace with a circle of iron trees growing outside the courtyard. Inside the courtyard, there was a small bridge and nine winding corridors. There was also a pond that was six to seven feet wide. Moss grew beside the pond, and there were some koi fish swimming in the pond.
Qin Di found it strange and asked, "Why are there fish in the Weak Water?"
Suman answered, "These fish were bred by the Great Emperor Zhenwu. He thought that the Black Emperor Palace was too quiet and lifeless, so he bred some fish to survive in the Weak Water."
"Can these fish be eaten?"
"Yes! The taste is not bad, and it can improve the comprehension of the Heavenly Dao of Water. Unfortunately, there are only thirty koi fish in each immortal's courtyard. They're gone after eating. "
Qin Di found it more and more interesting and asked, "Can these fish be bought in the sect?"
Suman answered, "It's very difficult to buy them. There's an Immortal Ruin in the southeast corner of the Li Province. Senior Martial Brother can go there and take a look. If you're lucky, you might be able to buy a few."
"How do these fish survive?"
