Chapter 642: Chapter 254: Startling the Celestials (Part 2)
The Immortal Emperor said, "Things have come to this point; Carefree Ancestor, is there any need to mock my ministers? On the other hand, Carefree Heaven lost the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device, indirectly causing the Shangjing Immortal Dynasty to fall into unknown dangers. What do you have to say about this?"
Carefree Ancestor said, "Not long ago, someone successfully ascended nine thousand miles on the spiral Celestial Tier of the Meteorite Highlands on the Chuirizhou Continent. You must have heard about it."
The Immortal Emperor said, "Indeed, and that person even made the entire world witness the ultimate Circulation Dao."
Carefree Ancestor gave the Immortal Emperor a sidelong glance, "You also control the ultimate Circulation Dao. Could it be that you didn’t sense that person?"
The Immortal Emperor smiled, "Normally, I should have sensed it, but I didn’t. Carefree Ancestor, what do you think is the reason?"
It was, of course, due to the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device.
Carefree Ancestor couldn’t help but understand the meaning behind these words. He slowly closed his eyes,
"In that case, what do you plan to do?"
The Immortal Emperor said unhurriedly, "A person wielding the Circulation Dao, attempting to invade Qixia Lake, poses a significant threat to the Shangjing Immortal Dynasty. We must clarify this person’s identity. This person’s fate is obscured, and those capable of this are only Ancestor Qing, Primordial Ancestor, Divine Phoenix Celestial Venerable, Dragon Emperor, and Slaughter Demon Lord. Narrowing it further, it’s more likely to be Divine Phoenix Celestial Venerable and Slaughter Demon Lord."
He was merely stating facts without making conjectures.
Carefree Ancestor said, "Divine Phoenix Celestial Venerable is independent, not something Carefree Heaven can control. As for Slaughter Demon Lord, I believe that’s more your concern. Back then, when the Shangjing Dynasty ascended to the Immortal Ascension Dynasty, what happened? Why did Jiang Ran have the ability to control fate? Why did he become Jiang Sha? The Shangjing Immortal Dynasty owes the world an explanation."
The Immortal Emperor was unmoved by these words, his tone unchanged,
"We have a shared direction, so naturally, we should join forces. Carefree Heaven needs to retrieve the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device, and the Shangjing Immortal Dynasty needs to eliminate all hidden dangers; that is the foundation of our efforts."
Carefree Ancestor nodded, then vanished, leaving behind a faint silhouette,
"The world is too noisy; lest it disturb Ancestor Qing."
The Immortal Emperor’s voice drifted like a long song,
"Prime Minister Pei, the millennium change has arrived. I have a premonition that she has returned."
Pei Weiyi asked, "Your Majesty, are you afraid?"
"Ah, even after ten thousand years, you still haven’t learned how to be a minister." The Immortal Emperor’s voice gradually faded, "But that’s good, I also need someone who can ask if I’m afraid."
He did not answer the question.
Pei Weiyi looked up at the night sky over Changning City, her cold eyes slightly moved. After a while, she whispered softly,
"Elder Jiang, how have you been?"
A tiny, gem-like, almost transparent bird flew into the Left Minister’s Mansion.
Pei Weiyi gently picked it up, and a divine thought flowed from it. In her mind, Wu Qianqiu’s voice sounded,
"Prime Minister Pei, I have news about the Twelve Thousand Eight Hundred Eyes."
Upon hearing this, Pei Weiyi frowned deeply.
The Innate treasure, Twelve Thousand Eight Hundred Eyes. It’s a name that would stir any disciple of the Yin Yang School.
Pei Weiyi didn’t linger for long, and with a swift movement, she appeared outside the Illusion Immortal Tower. She looked up at the splendid tall building in the center, then walked straight in.
Upon entering, a Flower and Bird Platform descended in front of her.
She stepped onto it, and the platform directly transported her to the terrace outside Wu Qianqiu’s room.
At this moment, Wu Qianqiu was sitting in front of a pearl table, bathed in moonlight, her beauty incomparable. In contrast to Pei Weiyi’s sharp demeanor, Wu Qianqiu exuded gentle femininity. If a woman were made of water, she might be an ocean.
Wu Qianqiu smiled radiantly, "Prime Minister Pei, long time no see. The last time you visited the Illusion Immortal Tower was over a hundred years ago. I remember—"
Pei Weiyi waved her Chiwen Robe’s skirt, sitting across from her, "No need for small talk."
Wu Qianqiu laughed, "Prime Minister Pei, you’re quite the impatient one."
She poured Pei Weiyi a cup of wine, "Prime Minister Pei has her rules, but I, Wu Qianqiu, have mine too. Accompany me for a drink first."
Pei Weiyi gave her a glance and drank the wine in one gulp.
Wu Qianqiu teased, "Prime Minister Pei, do you know what it means to accompany? You didn’t even clink the glass. This doesn’t count, let’s do it again."
This time, Pei Weiyi clinked glasses before drinking it down in one gulp.
Wu Qianqiu laughed, "Though lacking a bit of feeling, I won’t make it difficult for you. I do have news about the Twelve Thousand Eight Hundred Eyes. But what does Prime Minister Pei plan to trade for it?"
Pei Weiyi’s eyes hardly moved, "What do you want?"
Wu Qianqiu blushed, "Prime Minister Pei, you’re still asking." She reached out, lightly placing a finger on the back of Pei Weiyi’s hand, her gaze tender and lingering like silk, "I’ve been lonely for so long. Over the years, the visitors of Changning City have come and gone, and the Illusion Immortal Tower has seen endless romantic tales, yet none were noteworthy. Only Prime Minister Pei can truly stir my heart."
"You want me to sleep with you?"
Wu Qianqiu was stunned, "Prime Minister Pei, you’re a lady; how can you say something so vulgar?" She blinked and said, "That’s called sharing a dream of watching the heavens."
Pei Weiyi shook her head, "Choose something else. Whether it’s physical or soul-based union, it would affect my abilities."
"Tch~ People might think you’re practicing the art of chastity." Wu Qianqiu expressed some regret, knowing Pei Weiyi wasn’t lying. For members of the Yin Yang School, especially someone as accomplished as Pei Weiyi, the balance between heaven and humanity is paramount. In simpler terms, it’s like offering one’s body and soul to heaven.
She pouted, her demeanor no longer seductive, resembling a charming young girl, "Then just accompany me for drinks and chat to relieve my boredom. That shouldn’t impact your abilities, right."
