Chapter 359: Chapter 171 Endless Starry Sky

Outside Divine Capital, in a dilapidated Taoist temple.

Qiao Baixuan kept changing hand seals, continuously adjusting the composition of the "Fate Derivation Wheel."

The Heavenly Destiny Compass in his hand spun incessantly, changing its respective positions.

Finally, the scenery displayed by the "Fate Derivation Wheel" zoomed into the center of Divine Capital, revealing the grand and imposing Imperial Palace.

"Imperial Palace? Is Gong Ziyu in the Imperial Palace?" Zhang Yuanlu and Zhang Yuanfeng looked at each other, beginning to feel an ominous premonition.

"Roar—"

A golden Divine Dragon suddenly appeared, ferociously snapping at them with bared fangs and claws.

The stacked layers of the Fate Derivation Wheel shattered several layers under the biting of the golden Divine Dragon.

"Protected by the Dragon Vein, could it be that Gong Ziyu is a member of the Northern Zhou Imperial Family?" exclaimed Qiao Baixuan in a lost voice.

He had never anticipated that Gong Ziyu would be protected by the Northern Zhou Dragon Vein. If the Dragon Vein continued to counterattack like this, the Fate Derivation Wheel would break, and this calculation would end in failure again.

’This absolutely cannot happen!!’ Qiao Baixuan clenched his teeth in secret, burning with resentment in his heart.

Finding Gong Ziyu was not only about fulfilling the tasks for Dragon Tiger Mountain, but it was also the most urgent matter in Qiao Baixuan’s heart.

After all, in the Heavenly Calculation Inheritance Relics, Gong Ziyu had nearly been slain by his own sword. Not to mention the Heavenly Calculation Inheritance itself—if not for Gong Ziyu’s interference, Qiao Baixuan would undoubtedly have been the final recipient.

As long as he obtained the Heavenly Calculation Inheritance, he could directly use the Teleportation Array to leave, no matter if tens of thousands guarded outside, if they can’t find a person, it would be in vain.

’So, Gong Ziyu must die!’

Qiao Baixuan suddenly bellowed, "Senior Zhang, remove the restrictions on the medicinal strength of the Dragon Tiger Golden Pill in my body."

Remove?

That meant the Dragon Tiger Golden Pill would only serve as a healing agent. Using a divine pill reserved for warriors of the Divinity Realm to heal minor injuries in someone from the Divine Origin Realm was indeed a waste of heavenly resources.

However, if not removed now, Qiao Baixuan wouldn’t have enough power to break through the Dragon Vein’s interference and find Gong Ziyu. Thus, the initial purpose of using the Dragon Tiger Golden Pill would be declared a failure.

Zhang Yuanlu made a decisive move, flashing behind Qiao Baixuan and swiftly pressing various major acupoints all over his body, releasing the confined medicinal strength.

Dragon roars and tiger howls erupted; the pure medicinal strength on Qiao Baixuan’s body faintly formed shapes of dragons and tigers, occasionally producing vivid tiger heads or dragon tails.

Zhang Yuanlu not only released the medicinal strength but also used a unique technique to instantly stimulate it to the extreme.

But it still seemed slightly risky, therefore...

Zhang Yuanlu placed his hand on Qiao Baixuan’s back, his True Qi, due to its origin shared with the Dragon Tiger Golden Pill, transformed inversely into Primordial Energy of the Dragon Tiger Golden Pill, nurturing the medicinal strength.

"Roar—"

"Howl—"

With the nourishment from Zhang Yuanlu’s True Qi, the dragon roars and tiger howls became even more frequent, the medicinal power continuously transmuting into Qiao Baixuan’s strength, combating the Northern Zhou Dragon Vein.

The Nine Dragon Sky Array, where nine dragons gathered provided a chance to counter, even defeat, warriors of the Divinity Realm; how could a single dragon’s power contend against Qiao Baixuan assisted by Zhang Yuanlu?

Not to mention, at this time, Feng Tianming was severely injured and unconscious, and Feng Mingxiao was also in seclusion healing his injuries, leaving no one to oversee the Nine Dragon Sky Array.

The golden "Yan Lun" continuously restacked, and the Fate Derivation Wheel spun even more swiftly.

Meanwhile, in the scenery depicted by the "Fate Derivation Wheel," countless golden rings were fastened onto the joyous extended body of the Divine Dragon, unable to break free no matter how it surged.

However, this action also triggered a trace of golden Buddha Light and a wisp of pure Vast Righteous Qi.

"Senior, please increase your power. Great Zen Temple’s Xinyuan Abbot, as well as Mountain River Academy’s Mountain Master Meng, are both proficient in this field. The actions just now definitely triggered their contingency plans, we must resolve this quickly," Qiao Baixuan shouted.

Xinyuan Abbot, known for "Life and Death in the Palm," his mastery in the Law of Cause and Effect could compare with Elder Shiming during the Great Success of the Heavenly Mechanism.

As for Mountain Master Meng of the Mountain River Academy, his transcription of "Zhou Yi" became a significant aid in Qing Yu’s enlightenment of the ’Circulation of the Six Voids Technique’; how could he be unaware of this method?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanlu increased his True Qi once more, enhancing the transformation rate, the medicinal strength of the Dragon Tiger Golden Pill was nourished and extended.

A glint of laughter flashed across Qiao Baixuan’s eyes; although the Dragon Tiger Golden Pill was fully stimulated, with Zhang Yuanlu’s assistance, it also extended for a considerable time. This medicinal strength was rapidly refined by him, and though it was quickly used up, it also brought significant benefits to him.

Next, it was time to locate Gong Ziyu.

Qiao Baixuan’s double pupils completely merged into one, continuously channeling True Qi into the Heavenly Destiny Compass. The scenes on the Fate Derivation Wheel accelerated, a phoenix illusion got shattered by the wheel, "Gong Ziyu is indeed from the Northern Zhou Imperial Family."

The phoenix illusion was the fate of someone from the Northern Zhou Imperial Family personified and also their last line of defense.

Next was...

"Gong Ziyu, reveal your true self."

Qiao Baixuan’s pupils flashed divine light, staring straight at the scenes on the Fate Derivation Wheel.

Countless phenomena, gone in a flash, Qiao Baixuan seemed to pass through an endless tunnel, reaching the endpoint—here lay the true body of Gong Ziyu.

However, what appeared in Qiao Baixuan’s sight was darkness, amidst the darkness, stars twinkled faintly and intermittently.

"This is... the starry sky..."

Qiao Baixuan immediately recognized the scene.

’Gong Ziyu’s mastery of the Heavenly Mechanism Divination Skill is truly no less than mine, he has indeed made the necessary preparations well ahead. After the Dragon Vein, and following the Phoenix Destiny, there is yet another line of defense.’

Having speculated about Gong Ziyu’s prowess in the Yi Skill early on, Qiao Baixuan showed no surprise now.

’Unfortunately, with the Heavenly Destiny Compass from my master and assistance from Zhang Yuanlu, Gong Ziyu, you can’t beat me.’

"Senior Zhang, aid me."

As Qiao Baixuan’s shout echoed, Zhang Yuanlu further increased the True Qi transmission. Increasingly powerful external True Qi caused Qiao Baixuan’s body to start cracking, blood flowing down.

However, Qiao Baixuan’s face bore a smile, a very hearty one.

Because Gong Ziyu was finally going to reveal his true face.

"Open!"

The Fate Derivation Wheel spun, grinding the entire starry sky into pieces, "Show your true self, Gong Ziyu."

Qiao Baixuan spoke thus for the second time.

Yet, what awaited him was still the starry sky. Beyond the starry sky, there was yet more starry sky.

Qing Yu and Feng Jiu both practiced the "Black Heaven Book," which secretly aligns with celestial patterns. Now, as their auras merged into one, they could use their Hidden Meridians to evolve dual starry skies.

One layer upon another, the starry sky had two layers.

"Open again."

The Fate Derivation Wheel unleashed its power, once again crushing the starry sky before it.

However, in that moment, Qing Yu had restored a layer of the starry sky. After Qiao Baixuan crushed one layer, he still faced the starry sky.

"This can’t be?!"

"Open."

"Open."

"Open."

...

The starry sky was continuously shattered and continuously restored. No matter how hard Qiao Baixuan tried, he was still facing the starry sky, an endless starry sky.

"I don’t believe it!!"

Qiao Baixuan’s double pupils emitted a divine radiance, determined to exhaust this expanse of starry sky and reveal Gong Ziyu’s true face.

And then...

He saw them—the eyes, a pair of eyes as lofty and profound as the Heavenly Dao.
