Chapter 155 Can't Get It
Zhou Hanzhang was puzzled and had just opened her mouth to ask the emperor what was going on when, as soon as she opened her mouth, those white lights rushed into her mouth.
Startled, she immediately shut her mouth and decided not to ask any more questions, deciding to wait until they were past the road.
She followed closely in the emperor's footsteps and quickly walked the entire path.
The emperor led her to a large round plate, in which sat a huge luminous pearl. Strangely, this pearl was emitting a green light, unlike any luminous pearl she had ever seen before.
Although Zhou Hanzhang felt strange, he did not ask directly, but looked at the emperor with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
The emperor naturally understood her thoughts. "This is one of the stars in the seven-star alignment I just told you about. Come forward and see if you can see anything."
Zhou Hanzhang obediently stepped forward, looking at the luminous pearl emitting a soft green light in front of him. He looked at it from left to right, but couldn't see anything different about it except for its color.
She turned her head and saw the emperor looking at her expectantly, encouraging her to speak.
He tentatively began, "I... all I noticed was that the color was a disturbingly green, like it was poisoned. Otherwise, it doesn't seem to be much different from an ordinary luminous pearl?"
Upon hearing her say this, the emperor laughed and said, "Indeed, she is a treasure of our royal family. I recognized her at a glance."
"...Uncle, you don't need to flatter me so much. It's so obvious, even I could see it if I were blind." Zhou Hanzhang deeply understood the feeling of being unconditionally pampered by his elders.
"Not at all. Your father came too, but he couldn't see anything."
"...Well, you shouldn't compare me to my father. After all, my father is very famous, and I really can't compare to him."
The emperor laughed out loud as he listened to her sarcastic comments about his father. "Hahaha, indeed, indeed, our Zhang'er is far superior to your father."
"So, my royal uncle brought me here to tell me that the problem with the alignment of the seven stars is that this luminous pearl has changed color?"
The emperor walked to the luminous pearl and gently placed his hand on it.
In that instant, the luminous pearl burst forth with tremendous light, and all the shimmering white light that had surrounded them as they passed through the path now converged on this luminous pearl.
It looks extremely mysterious.
Zhou Hanzhang felt like he was on the set of a science fiction movie; otherwise, how could he have witnessed this scene?
Seeing her frozen in place, the emperor said, "Zhang'er, put your hand up here too."
Zhou Hanzhang hesitated for a moment, but finally slowly placed his hand on it.
As soon as she placed her hand on it, she clearly felt a slight suction from the luminous pearl, which slowly drew her hand towards it.
It has a magnetic feel to it.
She leaned closer to take a look and realized that it wasn't a luminous pearl after all.
Although its material resembles that of a luminous pearl, it is not. It was not clearly visible at first, but now that the white light has gradually seeped into the pearl, it has become increasingly lustrous and translucent, and it does not look like a luminous pearl at all.
"This isn't a luminous pearl, is it?"
"Of course, this is a meteorite that our ancestors went to great lengths to find. But this meteorite is different from other meteorites. It has seven regions on it, which are red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple. In the middle, there is a piece that looks like a seven-colored glass."
Our ancestors called it a divine gift and divided it into eight pieces according to color. Seven of these pieces were placed in locations on several unstable borders for safekeeping, while the seven-colored glass piece was kept as a royal treasure within the royal family.
You haven't seen the other stars yet, so you don't know that this green star wasn't originally this color. Although it's green, it's clear and transparent, unlike when you first saw it where you couldn't see anything inside.
However, as long as someone with the bloodline of our Great Zhou places their hand on it, it will return to its previous state. Look closely now, isn't it different from before?
Zhou Hanzhang could only see the bead slowly becoming more crystalline under the influence of the white light, but the white light was still lingering around the bead, so he couldn't see its full appearance yet.
However, it quickly absorbed all the white light around the bead, and its complete form was revealed to Zhou Hanzhang.
"This……"
She suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a small river flowing inside the bead, and the shape of the river was very similar to the stone mountain map in her hand.
"You noticed it, didn't you? It depicts the topography of the Stone Mountain. You might not know this, but the topography of the Stone Mountain is completely based on the topography of the Yunmeng Kingdom."
Zhou Hanzhang was completely stunned. What kind of magic was this?
How did all these fantastical things suddenly appear?
Moreover, meteorites, especially luminous ones, are radioactive, aren't they?
Moreover, the color of this meteorite is really hard to describe; it doesn't look like a good thing at all.
She suddenly felt a urge to pull her hand back.
"Uncle, how many years has our Seven Stars Alignment Formation been in place?"
The emperor seemed to fall into deep thought. "I don't remember how many years it has been. I heard that it already existed when I was young, and that our Great Zhou Dynasty enjoyed many years of peace because of it."
"Has there been any problem?"
"Apart from this time, there has never been a problem," the emperor said confidently.
"However, before each new monarch ascends the throne, we must go to these seven places and drip our heart's blood onto the beads, so that we can continue to maintain stability during our reign."
There have never been any problems in all these years, so I don't know if this is a warning from heaven. Not just anyone can come here; only members of the royal family are allowed to approach these planets. Therefore, I had no choice but to come with your father in person.”
“You and Father can’t stay here forever. Do you know how many people are looking for you outside? The Yunmeng Kingdom has also sent many people to look for you. If the people of the Yunmeng Kingdom find you, have you thought about the consequences?”
“We have naturally thought about all of this. Don’t worry, there will be no problem. The Imperial Advisor said that as long as we wait until the night of the full moon and drip the blood of the royal family onto this star bead, the problem can be solved.”
Zhou Hanzhang listened to these words and something seemed off. How could there be such a strange thing?
However, she then thought that her time travel was already fantastical enough, and the idea of the seven stars aligning as a belief of an imperial dynasty didn't seem so unreliable.
Well, tomorrow is the night of the full moon, let's see how things go then.
The emperor withdrew his hand first. "Tomorrow, I will drip my blood into the star bead again. Once it returns to its original state, we can go back."
Zhou Hanzhang tried to pull her hand back, but she found that her hand was stuck to the star bead and she couldn't remove it.
"what happened?"
"What's wrong?" The emperor asked, looking at Zhou Hanzhang's hand still resting on the table.
"Uncle, I can't get my hand off."
