Chapter 574: Chapter 70 You Must Return

As early summer arrived, the evening air was a bit stuffy, even standing atop the pavilion one could feel a sense of suffocation.

However, this bit of stuffiness posed no issue at all for Qing Yu and Feng Jiwu.

With their realms, they had long since reached a state impervious to the heat and cold of seasons; Qing Yu went even further, using True Qi to create an early spring climate around the pavilion, which made the eyebrows of the newborn in her arms unwind, portraying a picture of contentment.

Indeed, in her arms. Many people could hardly imagine someone of Qing Yu’s indifferent nature holding a small baby in her arms to soothe, and moreover, doing it with great success.

At least, Feng Xi in Qing Yu’s arms was very quiet, not showing any signs of fussiness.

"It seems that Feng Xi really likes you. Even I, as her father, can’t make her this quiet," Feng Jiwu said, smiling by her side.

Feng Xi, that was the name of Feng Jiwu’s first daughter.

Qing Yu had emerged from seclusion several days ago and had given this child her name. Afterwards, perhaps due to fate, Qing Yu and Feng Xi bonded exceptionally well; every time Qing Yu held her in her arms, she seemed extremely happy and comfortable.

"Is that so? Perhaps it’s fate then," Qing Yu said while looking at the infant in her arms, revealing a smile.

This little infant was indeed a blessing, for her birth enlightened Qing Yu about vitality and achieved a balance between life and death, yin and yang.

Speaking of which, it wouldn’t be an overstatement to call her Qing Yu’s benefactor.

"Your Majesty, Daoist." The Empress, who had just given birth, was now draped in a phoenix robe, with Feng Chuhuan supporting her as she came up to the pavilion.

The benefit of being skilled in martial arts was truly evident in all aspects. Only a few days after giving birth, Si Qingwei had almost fully recovered her Primordial Energy. Even without Feng Chuhuan’s support, she would have been fine.

After the two women arrived, Feng Chuhuan’s eyes lit up at the sight of the little Feng Xi in Qing Yu’s arms, but facing Qing Yu, the renowned demon path practitioner from Northern Zhou, she didn’t want to be as confrontational as Feng Jiwu.

Feng Chuhuan always felt an inexplicable fear towards Qing Yu, especially after Qing Yu’s recent emergence from seclusion, which intensified that sense of fear.

"Daoist, may I take Xi’er back to rest for a while?" Compared to Feng Chuhuan, Si Qingwei was much more courageous, yet she also showed a great deal of respect towards Qing Yu.

"It is indeed time to rest. Empress, please," Qing Yu carefully handed the baby over to Si Qingwei.

As the infant was passed from one embrace to another, Feng Xi seemed to sense something, her little face wrinkling up unhappily and reaching out toward Qing Yu.

"Speaking of which, I have an Eternal Life Lock, which I shall now present to the little Princess."

As if suddenly remembering, Qing Yu took out a pure jade Eternal Life Lock from within her clothes and fastened it around the little Princess’s neck.

The Eternal Life Lock seemed to contain an indescribable essence within it, giving off a mystical feel. After Feng Xi was adorned with the Eternal Life Lock, her scrunched face relaxed, and she closed her eyes comfortably, soon drifting into dreamland.

Seeing how magical the Eternal Life Lock was, Si Qingwei expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, Daoist."

"A small token, not worth mentioning," Qing Yu said with a laugh and a wave of her hand.

After thanking her again, Si Qingwei cradled the child and slowly departed with the support of Feng Chuhuan.

Watching their figures disappear at the staircase entrance, Feng Jiwu’s face slowly turned solemn, his expression laden with intractable sorrow.

"It seems you have discovered it," Qing Yu said from the railing of the pavilion’s balcony, with his back to Feng Jiwu.

"Just now..." Feng Jiwu’s words seemed to carry the weight of a thousand pounds, a pressure weighing on his heart, "the Eternal Life Lock you gave to Xi’er has your True Qi infused in it."

Feng Jiwu was intimately familiar with Qing Yu’s True Qi; he always carried a yellow crystal filled with this same True Qi.

And regarding the nature of this True Qi, Feng Jiwu, a Tribulation Slave, was very clear.

"I once told you about the ’Black Heaven Book,’ which has Four Laws of Existence. ’No Master No Slave,’ ’You Must Return,’ ’Endless’—these three laws, I have told you. And this fourth law, is ’You Must Return.’ The power of the ’Black Heaven Book’ brings a curse spanning three generations, truly ominous," Qing Yu explained.

With his doubts resolved, Feng Jiwu’s face was like a dye shop, a myriad of colors.

His emotions were extremely complicated: regret, pain, sorrow... His gaze towards Qing Yu occasionally revealed Killing Intent.

But this Killing Intent vanished in an instant. Because he knew that, setting aside whether he could kill Qing Yu or not, even if he actually could, it would not free him from the calamity that had already befallen him.

"However, rest assured, I will resolve this ’Black Sky Tribulation’ for Feng Xi. Although the ’Black Heaven Book’ is said to be ominous, Feng Xi can be considered my lucky star. I cannot let her suffer misfortune."

If it weren’t for Feng Xi, Qing Yu would still be inside the great statue, troubled. This debt of gratitude could not go unacknowledged.

Hearing Qing Yu’s promise, Feng Jiwu finally set aside his complex feelings, stepped up beside Qing Yu, and looked down at the phoenix carriage leaving under the escort of palace maids, saying, "If you can eliminate Feng Xi’s woes, I would be eternally grateful."

"No need for gratitude. You have always helped me a lot, and will help me even more in the future. I certainly don’t want a trifling matter to create a rift between us."

Using an infant as a threat was not only too despicable but also incredibly foolish.

Currently, Qing Yu and Feng Jiwu had a good relationship, with Feng Jiwu being utterly loyal to Qing Yu. And this loyalty would only deepen as Qing Yu’s power grew.

In such circumstances, how mindless it would be to think of using a child to shackle Feng Jiwu.

"As of now, my understanding of the ’Black Heaven Book’ can be said to be far greater than its founder’s. Resolving the ’Black Sky Tribulation’ is not a problem. Once Feng Xi grows a few more years and her meridians are beginning to form, I will resolve the ’Black Sky Tribulation’ for her," Qing Yu declared.

At that very moment, celestial phenomena seemed to occur in the sky, with the stars starting to change.

Such a change was difficult to detect by ordinary people, and even True Pill Realm experts couldn’t perceive this subtle shift unless they were familiar with the Yi Skill.

Only Divinity Realm warriors and those skilled in the Heavenly Mechanism could sense the unknown changes in the starry sky.

"The sixth day of the sixth month is the best time to perform the ’Sky-Cleansing and Mysterious Technique.’ Today, the mystery shrouding Heavenly Mechanism will be unveiled," Qing Yu said with a smile, looking up at the stars at a 45-degree angle.

He emerged from closed-door cultivation days ago, and of course, it was not solely for the sake of Feng Xi’s origins. The confrontation of Heavenly Mechanism happening today was indeed Qing Yu’s main purpose of leaving seclusion.

Today, the one who learned the ’Sky-Cleansing and Mysterious Technique’ will face off against the one who has obscured the Heavenly Mechanism. The outcome of this confrontation could even affect the coming direction of the world. How could Qing Yu not witness it?

"The person behind the Yin Demon Sect dares to challenge because they are somewhat confident. Even if they fail, they will be able to inflict significant damage on their opponent. When that time comes..."
