Chapter 566: Chapter 62 Concealing the Heavenly Mechanism

"Host, congratulations on acquiring a chance for a random character draw. Do you wish to use it?"

The mechanical prompt awoke someone, and suddenly in the dark space, a sigh was heard: "Sigh!"

"Three months have passed again," Qing Yu slowly opened his eyes.

For cultivators, especially those in the True Pill Realm, time always flew by particularly quickly. Just one Dragon and Tiger Pill refined by Zhang Xuanji that he had swallowed was enough to sustain Qing Yu’s physiological functions for three months.

After all, sitting in meditation, the consumption rate was especially slow.

"It’s a pity that I haven’t reached the Fourth Transition of the Golden Core in these three months."

The further one progressed, the more difficult it became. Many Taoist experts in the True Pill Stage took decades of cultivation only to fail to reach the Nine Reincarnations of the Golden Core. Qing Yu had made rapid advancements in his realm, which was already quite remarkable.

But compared to his previous leaps and bounds, Qing Yu had slowed down.

"The road is long and winding, I shall scour everywhere for resources."

In the end, it was a lack of resources. Qing Yu had ample Mental State and Primordial Energy; it was just that he lacked the resources that could accelerate the refinement of his power.

"Hopefully this character will offer some heavenly materials and earth treasures to aid my cultivation. System, I would like to..." Qing Yu suddenly stopped speaking.

A surge in the connection within his heart indicated that there was an urgent matter from Feng Jiwu that required Qing Yu’s decision.

"What matter requires interrupting my cultivation?"

Qing Yu closed his eyes and, through the invisible link, saw what Feng Jiwu was seeing, heard what he was hearing.

In the Great Ming Hall, Feng Jiwu’s brows were slightly furrowed as he watched the pure white figure, "Young Sect Master of Yin Demon Sect, visiting late at night, do you intend to be an unwelcome guest?"

"Emperor Zhou, since I have shown myself, it is not to be an unwelcome guest," Yun Wuyue said indifferently.

"If not an unwelcome guest, why sneak into the Imperial Palace?"

An invisible Qi Mechanism pressed down, and golden currents began to spill from the columns of the Great Ming Hall.

This place was closely connected to the Nine Dragon Sky Array in the Imperial Palace, and until the Heavenly Giant Statue was completed, only in this place or in the underground palace where the Great Formation was hosted could the Nine Dragon Sky Array exert its utmost power.

The seemingly ordinary woman who had been behind Yun Wuyue stepped forward to shield her, her piercing gaze fixed on Feng Jiwu.

"Hm—" The Cold Eunuch silently took a step forward, his chilling and formidable presence immediately forced the woman in front of Yun Wuyue to kneel on one knee to prevent herself from collapsing.

"Emperor Zhou, do you really want me to speak now? ’The wild geese fly, the feathers serene,’ guess what follows?" Yun Wuyue said loudly.

"—"

The rising golden Qi suddenly stagnated, and Feng Jiwu’s forehead almost wrinkled into the shape of the character "川."

Sensing Feng Jiwu’s hesitation, the Cold Eunuch also slowed the pressure of his aura.

"It seems you know quite a bit," Feng Jiwu stared deeply at Yun Wuyue.

"More than you can imagine!" Yun Wuyue remained composed.

"Cold Eunuch, you may leave first," Feng Jiwu said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Cold Eunuch gave Feng Jiwu a glance and disappeared into the shadows.

"Uncle Master, you leave too."

The ordinary-looking woman who had been driving Yun Wuyue’s carriage silently left the Great Ming Hall.

As the two of them left, an invisible Qi Shield enveloped the entire Great Ming Hall, sealing off the inside from the outside.

At the same time, Feng Jiwu’s expression became detached, as if he suddenly changed into someone else. His eyes seemed to hide another person.

"How did you find this place?"

"Does it matter? Yan Nanfei," Yun Wuyue replied. "Without painstakingly verifying step by step, I wouldn’t have even dreamed that you could be Northern Zhou’s new Emperor—Feng Jiwu."

[In the past, eliminating adversaries, many instances required the use of people from Yin Demon Sect. Furthermore, the opportunity I promised Yin Demon Sect to expand their influence in Northern Zhou was also a crucial clue.] Suddenly, Qing Yu received Feng Jiwu’s thought.

[Your promise has brought me no small amount of trouble,] Feng Jiwu said with a laugh that also sounded like a cry.

[If it weren’t for that promise, do you think the person arriving today would not be Yin Tianxia?] Qing Yu replied.

Yin Tianxia was a rational person and one who prioritized interests. If it weren’t for Qing Yu’s promise, she wouldn’t have so readily agreed to lenient terms. At the very least, she would have needed more time to deliberate.

Of course, Qing Yu didn’t know Yin Tianxia’s thoughts, nor was he privy to the conversation between Yun Wuyue and Yin Tianxia. In truth, he only knew that the few fragments he had in his possession were becoming increasingly hot to the touch.

Despite the increasingly unpredictable Heavenly Mechanism, it did not stop Qing Yu, a person accustomed to divining danger and fortune, from calculating that more and more people were searching for these fragments.

Upon seeing Yun Wuyue today, he felt an impulsive feeling that she too had come for the Fragment.

Among them, there were also experts proficient in Heavenly Mechanism. Or to put it another way, it was precisely because of their proficiency in Heavenly Mechanism that they deliberately sought out these fragments. If they were ordinary people, even if they were given these fragments, they wouldn’t understand them.

[From now on, follow my instructions. Whatever I tell you to say, you say.] Qing Yu said.

Feng Jiwu silently consented.

"State your purpose," Feng Jiwu said.

Yun Wuyue replied, "The ’Sky-Cleansing and Mysterious Technique,’ I only want that page."

’Indeed, she also came for the Fragment. But why the ’Sky-Cleansing and Mysterious Technique’?’ Qing Yu frowned from within the statue.

It was not because the ’Sky-Cleansing and Mysterious Technique’ was too important, but rather because it was not important enough. Compared to other forbidden techniques like the ’Heaven-defying Destiny Changing Technique,’ the ’Sky-Cleansing and Mysterious Technique’ was only notable for clearing obstructions in heavenly predictions, allowing one to gaze more clearly into fate.

’What does she want with the ’Sky-Cleansing and Mysterious Technique’?’

As Qing Yu pondered, he involuntarily started to calculate by counting on his fingers.

However, he gained nothing.

’Involving people like Yin Tianxia, with my current realm, it’s indeed not something I can calculate, not to mention the Heavenly Mechanism is increasingly vague... Wait a second, the Heavenly Mechanism is vague.’

Qing Yu suddenly had a horrifying thought. He looked up as if through the statue, seeing the distant sky, reaching beyond the sky.

’This sign, it really does seem like someone is deliberately concealing the Heavenly Mechanism, but...’

The extent and secrecy of the concealment were so great and profound that even Qing Yu, an expert in this Dao, failed to notice it and simply attributed it to omens occurring because some people were acting from the shadows.

’I always thought that the approaching tribulation Qi was a precursor to a great calamity, a natural occurrence. But what calamity comes without deliberate intervention, and why would the world continually change?’

Since the calamity was man-made, then one could not dismiss the possibility that the effect of tribulation Qi concealing the Heavenly Mechanism was also manufactured. As long as that person’s prowess in Heavenly Mechanism was beyond Qing Yu’s current reach, it would naturally lead Qing Yu to believe that it was just a natural phenomenon.
