Commanding Wind and Cloud

Chapter 609 Star Map!

"I’ve ruminated over everything that I know..."

"Same here..."

"There is no way..."

In the headquarters of the bandit group, several pharmacists shook their heads and left.

"There seems to be a ton of metal in this body. He should recover if the metal fragments can be extracted."

The words of one pharmacist instantly attracted people’s attention.

"Unfortunately, the metal fragments are all shattered and in the smallest dust form. To take them out, unless all of his blood is drained and cleaned..."

"Get out!" Bhang Wusheng got anxious and angry, and he kicked the pharmacist out of the room. He finally found a successor, but this young man got so severely injured by Qian Zhanxuan. If he got here a bit later, who knew how the situation would turn out.

"Drain all the blood?" Bhang Wusheng didn’t know how that pharmacist came up with that idea. How could someone live without blood?

"Perhaps I have a way..."

Fanta Kunge who was silent in the group suddenly opened his mouth; he was usually silent and quiet that people would forget about him.

"Yeah! Gold Essence Warrior Power!" Duren Burg pulled Fanta Kunge toward Qian Jin and said, "How come I forgot about you?"

Fanta Kunge smiled powerlessly. In the team, he was the weakest, and he could only show his abilities when making plans and coming up with strategies. In normal situations, he was less noticeable compared to others.

"Gold Essence Warrior Power?" Pam Honzi looked at Fanta Kunge and thought, "Don’t all the members of Fanta Family train using the Sky-Scorching Scroll? How come this kid is training this Gold Essence Warrior Power? Did the Fanta Family have some luck in a relic or something? Or did their research pay off and create another warrior power?"

As soon as Fanta Kunge got close to Qian Jin, his expression got serious. Ever since he started cultivating Gold Essence Warrior Power, he hadn’t detected a stronger sense of metallic matter compared to this.

Qian Jin’s body was made of flesh, but Fanta Kunge couldn’t sense a trace of human scent. The strong metallic aura made Fanta Kunge feel like a huge iron mine existed in Qian Jin’s body.

"So serious?" Fanta Kunge gasped and stared at Qian Jin in shock as he thought, "How come such a strong sense of metal is coming out of his body?"

Gold Essence Warrior Power! Fanta Kunge circulated his warrior power in his body, and a layer of metallic glare that was visible to the naked eye covered his palms. As he worked diligently in cultivation and training and went through the various situations, his strength got stronger, and his proficiency with the Metal-Absorbing Hand of the Gold Essence Warrior Power grew higher.

Metal-Absorbing Hand was the unique fighting technique of the Gold Essence Warrior Power. It could suck out the metal essence in weapons and also in human bodies.

According to the description of the Metal-Absorbing Hand, humans’ blood contained iron. Although there wasn’t a lot, these iron essences were crucial to humans. If they were sucked out, the opponents would become weak and lose combat strength. There was even the possibility of them instantly dying due to the lack of iron in their bloodstream.

As soon as Fanta Kunge’s Metal-Absorbing Hand touched Qian Jin’s back, Fanta Kunge’s body shivered.

Normally, he could successfully absorb the metal essences from any type of metal.

However, this time, the Metal-Absorbing Hand didn’t absorb anything. Instead, the metal essences in his body felt like they were being sucked away instead.

"Why is this happening?" Fanta Kunge thought as he concentrated his energy. The 108 energy reservoirs in his body started to spin rapidly, and a huge suction force was created. The metal essences in Qian Jin’s body that were as firm as mountains finally moved slightly, seemingly like they were going to break away from Qian Jin’s body and leave.

At this moment. Qian Jin’s body shivered.

While Qian Jin was unconscious, he felt like he was floating in a cruel, dark space. Although Qian Jin’s eyes were closed, he felt like he could see the surroundings. He felt like he was floating in mid-air as well as in the cosmos.

Suddenly, a trace of light appeared in the darkness and broke open a path to the way out.

"Gold Essence Warrior Power! Fanta Kunge is helping from the outside!" Qian Jin thought to himself and was elated. He didn’t know how to get rid of these specks of metal dust.

With intense metal essences in the specks of metal dust, as long as Fanta Kunge could absorb some, it would be good for his strength. Also, it would help Qian Jin get rid of them.

The darkness in the space that Qian Jin’s conscious was in started to shake and looked like it was going to collapse. Also, the specks of metal dust seemed to have found one point to gather.

In the beginning, the specks of metal dust were all moving around and trying to find a gathering spot. Since there were so many of them, it was hard to create one location. Now, Fanta Kunge’s Metal-Absorbing Hand helped them!

"No!" Qian Jin’s heart raced as he thought, "Now, it is more troublesome! Fanta Kunge’s strength can’t absorb all these specks of metal dust! When that happens, I will be the one in trouble!"

At this moment, Qian Jin realized that Fanta Kunge’s good intention was going to create more trouble. Qian Jin quickly moved his warrior souls to block the paths of these specks of metal dust, but these specks of metal dust seemed like fearless warriors and even dashed into the burning heat created by the Heart of Earthly Fire.

Fast! Vicious!

The specks of metal dust were gathering so fast that Qian Jin couldn’t stop them even though he wanted to.

In the blink of an eye, a ton of metal essences gathered but the half shield didn’t reform. Instead...

Qian Jin suddenly felt like lights were brightening up the darkness. Instead of being like the sunlight and brightening up the land, these lights were more like starlight at night when people were lost. This starlight made the darkness a bit more bearable and less merciless.

The starlight quickly gathered and Qian Jin was surprised by this sudden and strange change. "What is going on?" he thought.

More and more starlight appeared in the sky and formed an image, an image that Qian Jin was neither familiar nor unfamiliar with.

Sea map! It was the strange sea map on that mysterious half shield. Now, this map was recreated by the starlight and they slowly moved around and created an active and changing image.

Qian Jin stared at the shape of this huge half shield and slowly got absorbed. Then, the warrior power in his body started moving following the movement pattern of the starlight. Then, streaks of his warrior power created a brand-new fighting technique.

Qian Jin, who was in his spirit form, suddenly waved his hand, and the technique sequences created a shield. Technically, a half shield.

Power! Domination! It felt like no one could break this shield! Qian Jin’s body lightly shook. When he enveloped his body using this shield-shaped fighting technique, he felt like his entire body turned into that half shield.

"This?" Qian Jin’s brows twitched and thought, "It is a fighting technique! I had this half shield for so long, and I had no idea that it is a fighting technique, a powerful bodily-protective fighting technique!"

"Could it be? It isn’t a sea map?"

This question flashed in Qian Jin’s mind, and the rotating starlight was several times brighter than before. As if they were answering Qian Jin’s question, they rotated faster and faster and combined.

"This... is a star map?"

Qian Jin’s eyes opened wide as he realized something. If he didn’t read all kinds of books when he was back at Qian Family and didn’t learn about stars, he might not realize this secret where the map wasn’t a sea map but a star map.

"That is right! This is a star map!" Qian Jin self-mocked and thought. "I carried this shield for so long, and I should have noticed this secret. However, I didn’t discover this secret until Qian Zhanxuan severely injured me."

The moving starlight that created the star map suddenly disappeared.

Suddenly, this giant 3D star map appeared around Qian Jin and engulfed him. The starlights continued to rotate and spin, and Qian Jin lightly raised his hands subconsciously, wanting to sense the realness of these stars.

When Qian Jin raised his hands, and the wind created by his movements also affected the starlight. The starlight moved and circled his arms.

At this moment, Qian Jin looked at the phantom-like scene around him and was in a dazed state. For a moment, he felt like he was the center of this star map, and all the stars were circling him.

The numerous battles that Qian Jin went through quickly flashed through his mind like scenes in a movie. He relived those moments where his saber strike seemed like the milky way was pouring down the sky, his punch appeared to completely grasp the stars in his hand, and his multi-chops looked like a meteor rain.

All those battles, all those injuries. Qian Jin was hovering in mid-air. When he suddenly looked down, he realized that green, blue, and endless yellow appeared and overtook the dark void.

Land...

Qian Jin felt like he was a god who was sitting amongst the stars, looking down at the world.

The giant and vast land and the Ancient Desert Sea which made Qian Jin look up and sigh all looked different to him now that he was sitting on the stars.

Ancient Desert Sea, Endless Sea Corner... all these forbidden places were slowly changing. These changes were impossible for humans, demons, and barbarians to see. When every tiny change took place, several generations had passed.

Only the universe, the only constant factor compared to those places, could see all the changes.

Only in front of the universe, the places like the vast Ancient Desert Sea and the Endless Sea Corner were mere forbidden places.

The Ancient Desert Sea was many times older compared to the history of humans, but it was so short in front of the universe.

In the blink of the universe, thousands of years had passed in the Ancient Desert Sea.

"Treasures! That is right! This is a giant treasure!"

Qian Jin’s eyes suddenly opened wide. This half shield truly contained countless treasures, and this star map was a treasure map. However, its treasure wasn’t only in that one location on the star map; it also contained many truths about the world that warriors dreamed of getting their hands on.
