The key was really an enigmatic object, surprisingly it projected out a map of the entire dark moon forest for her, even mentioning deep areas and central regions of the forest, this key was really mystical, it projected a holographic image of the entire forest.
All the areas were mapped out and labeled, places where one can find high level spiritual beast, herbs, treasures and even dangerous everything was mentioned, this helped her a lot.
even the rusted sword came over to look at the mystic key, taking a round around it,"Oh you have a spiritual key, which can actually project the map of the places near you." spoke the rusty sword.
Jiang Jing looked over in confusion and asked,"What do you mean of the places near it, this is the key of a particular place inside the dark moon forest, it just shows the map of the dark moon forest."
The rusty sword mentally rolled its eyes and thought, 'He really made a contract with a kid her knowledge is really.... tsk tsk lacking.'
"No this is a spiritual locator, not only maps of the areas around it, if you want to track a particular person on it you can find them with ease."
"Really is it that magical?" Jiang Jing Jing looked thoughtfully.
"Hmm Hmm." the rusty sword surrounded it once again and said, however for the key to give you whereabouts of a person, you must have come across such person previously, only then will it give the location."
"Really." Jiang Jing Jing's eye lit up, should she try to see her parents.
"Search my parents." Jiang Jing Jing gave the command.
however the map did not show anything,Jiang Jing Jing tried again but still it did not show anything.
the sword was also confused and it frowned internally,"Maybe only those who are here on this contingent can be seen in it."
Jiang Jing Jing thought again and tried to search for her brothers,"Jiang Jichen and Jiang Shen." soon the TianJi mountain came into view and top of one of the highest peak she could see two green dots.
Jiang Jing felt inexplicably pleased,"This really is a a great item, unlike a useless rusty sword like you, it really does work."
The Rusty sword was instantly furious,"What nonsense are you saying i this lord cannot be compared to this lousy route locator, i am a mighty sword and for your information i can sense and scout this whole Dark Moon forest area with my divine sense." the rusty sword spoke in a proud snobbish voice.
"Oh you can?" asked Jiang Jing Jing.
The rusty sword thought she was shocked by his capabilities and proudly proclaimed,"Yes definitely, your lordship can."
Jiang Jing Jing was incensed she took a stick from the ground and started chasing after the sword to beat its ugly face into a pulp,"When you knew i was searching the forest for the vault why didn't you scout the area for me you lousy, lazy sword and now when i found the map you know how to find the place too! Hah dream on."
one person and one sword were running round and round in a little hut finally with a whoosh the sword existed the hut and with escaped towards the forest,"Scary... so scary... the human cubs were really no less then demon."
Jiang Jing Jing threw the stick on the floor and after putting everything in her space bag she started walking towards the direction the mystic key showed her.
The mystic key already entered her consciousness and hence she did not need to take it out to navigate the route, she connected the key with her mind and with ease started walking towards the northern entrance of the forest, where the foliage was dense and fewer people and cultivators were present.
The rusty sword was gone somewhere to play and Jiang Jing Jing enjoyed the peaceful serenity of the Dark Moon forest, with occasional birds chirping here and their, the birds and animals at the outer part of the forest were all normal animals, only after walking for sometimes she saw some Level one spiritual beast such as the three colored canary or the fox fur monkeys, the pink rabbits, these were all low level beast and usually lived peacefully.
The Dark Moon forest was a huge forest situated at the far west side of the eastern continent and its border were shared by northern and the western continent continent too, however the majority if the forest was still situated on the eastern grounds.
Dark Moon forest got its name because of how dark it usually gets during the night time, when even in full moon one cannot see where one is going and it can often make you loose your path and lead to some danger zones where some high level beast will instantly tear you to shreds if you are not being careful, the forest bed was full of flora and fauna with thick old trees whose branches spread far and barks were as thick as an elephant.
The dark moon forest was home to various spiritual beast, the highest being a seventh level spiritual lord who resided in the deeper most area of this forest where no one dared to enter.
After finding a proper root, and avoiding as many spiritual beast as possible while occasionally killing some she cannot avoid, Jiang Jing Jing came across a lake with a fountain.
As per the mystic key the vault she was looking for was behind this curtain of water fall, Jiang Jing Jing though to craft a bamboo raft to use as a makeshift boat, she called the Rusty sword and asked it to cut her some bamboo poles.
while grumping and huffing with a look of reluctance the rusty sword went over to complete its task just as he saw Jiang Jing Jing picking up a stick probably to beat it up again.
After making a make shift rope of some creeper vines Jiang Jing Jing expertly made up a bamboo raft strong enough to hold her weight.
After pushing the raft into the lake, she climbed over it and maneuvered the raft with another bamboo pole, the lake water was still and placid small little koi can be seen from above swimming in harmony as the lake was crystal clear with a tinge if green in it.
