Chapter 2557 - 2247: The Location of the Next Memory Pearl

Looking at the Heavenly Mechanism Disc in his hand, Lu Chen suddenly thought of someone, a mysterious ancestor very skilled in divining the heavenly mechanisms.

"I wonder what Xuan Qingyun is doing now, and whether she has recovered her memory."

Immediately, Lu Chen channeled spiritual evil into the Heavenly Mechanism Disc, then said to it, "Divine the location of Xuan Qingyun."

The moment the words fell, a map appeared on the Heavenly Mechanism Disc.

On the map, there was a prominent red dot, which was moving in the direction of Central State.

Lu Chen continued to divine: "Divine whether Xuan Qingyun has recovered her ancestral memory."

As the words fell, a light screen appeared above the Heavenly Mechanism Disc, displaying the word "Yes."

Lu Chen then sought to divine: "Divine what Xuan Qingyun plans to do next."

This time, the Heavenly Mechanism Disc did not provide an accurate answer.

Initially, the image of Xuan Qingyun had emerged within the Heavenly Mechanism Disc; however, Xuan Qingyun suddenly turned her head in the image, seemingly looking at Lu Chen through the disc.

In the next moment, the light screen above the Heavenly Mechanism Disc turned black, showing nothing at all.

No matter how much spiritual power Lu Chen infused into the disc, it was to no avail; nothing could be divined.

Lu Chen realized that Xuan Qingyun had actively blocked the heavenly mechanisms, apparently aware that someone was spying on her.

Meanwhile, aboard a purple-golden Flying Boat in Central State.

Xuan Qingyun opened her beautiful eyes, turned her head to look back at the sky, and then, she formed a spell, mobilizing mysterious power to actively block the heavenly mechanisms.

She then attempted to counter-divine whoever was divining her, but in the images she divined, there was only fog and nothing could be seen.

While she couldn’t determine who was spying on her, in her understanding, only Lu Chen could completely block her divinations.

Therefore, the person spying on her was most likely Lu Chen.

Xuan Qingyun’s face instantly turned cold, as Lu Chen had started actively divining her whereabouts, meaning he had set his sights on her.

Back when they were at the Burial Furnace, Lu Chen already had intentions for her, but because they escaped the binds of the Burial Furnace, Lu Chen did not succeed.

Now they were trapped in this world, and their powers were sealed; yet, this scoundrel was thinking of her again.

This won’t do; she must hide quickly. With the Red Flower Sedan, she couldn’t harm Lu Chen; if he found her, she might end up like Yun Yudie and others, becoming Lu Chen’s plaything.

Thinking of this, Xuan Qingyun immediately exerted all her strength to pilot the Flying Boat toward the Tianji Pavilion.

At the same time, in an underground cultivation room of Dazhou, Lu Chen gave up upon realizing that he couldn’t divine what Xuan Qingyun would do next.

He then said to the Heavenly Mechanism Disc: "Divine when the next Memory Pearl of the Mysterious Ancestor will be unsealed, and the exact location of that Memory Pearl."

As Lu Chen’s words fell, the Heavenly Mechanism Disc emitted a ghostly blue light, forming another light screen, which displayed the entrance to the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land.

At that moment, a female voice suddenly rang out: "Who is spying?"

As soon as the words fell, the light screen instantly went dark, pitch black, with no image at all.

It seems using this Heavenly Mechanism Disc easily attracts the attention of others.

However, fortunately, he already knew where the next Memory Pearl would appear.

Since the next Memory Pearl would appear in the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, he would have to go there in person.

But with powerful beings in the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land able to sense his spying, he would need to be careful and cautious.

The voice earlier didn’t sound like Chu Yunzhi’s; it was likely the Holy Land Ancestor of the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land who sensed his spying, and having an Emperor Realm figure there would make snatching the Memory Pearl challenging.

After calming his emotions, Lu Chen infused spiritual sense into the Heavenly Mechanism Disc, then said to it: "Divine the location of the Burial Furnace."

As soon as Lu Chen uttered this sentence, he felt a terrifying suction force, which in an instant emptied all the spiritual evil from his body.

Yet the Heavenly Mechanism Disc didn’t divine anything, and Lu Chen collapsed to the ground, his face pale, cold sweat pouring down.

It was only then that he realized the more significant the matter being divined, the more spiritual evil it consumed.

It seems that he shouldn’t casually divine important matters in the future.

If he were to use the Heavenly Mechanism Disc during a battle with an enemy, and his spiritual evil was drained in an instant, he would be in trouble.

Lu Chen then put away the Heavenly Mechanism Disc, took out a heap of Deceit Pearls, sat cross-legged, and absorbed spiritual evil to restore his strength.

...

The next morning.

After a night of cultivation, Lu Chen had almost fully recovered. He exhaled deeply, opened his eyes, got up from the meditation cushion, and departed the underground cultivation room, heading straight for Chu Yuqin’s bedchamber.

He wanted to inquire about the situation in the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land to prepare for the competition for the Memory Pearl.

Within the fragrant bedchamber, Chu Yuqin sat upright on the bed, her eyes closed.

Now that she had recovered her ancestral memory, even without cultivation, mysterious power would continuously generate within her body.

That’s how the Mysterious Ancestors were; their strength would gradually increase even without cultivation. The excess mysterious power would overflow, and the overflowing power would corrupt more creatures, turning them into the Mysterious.

Sensing Lu Chen enter her bedchamber, Chu Yuqin opened her eyes and stared directly at him.

She had developed a habit: whenever Lu Chen came to her, it was because he wanted something from her.

She thought it was the same this time.

However, when Lu Chen reached the bedside, he didn’t immediately pounce on her but instead sat by the bed and said, "Madam Chu, how many Emperor Realm experts are in the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land?"

Hearing Lu Chen’s question, Chu Yuqin looked at him meaningfully and asked, "Why are you asking this? Are you planning to accompany me to the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land?"

Lu Chen replied, "I’m considering it."

Chu Yuqin said, "You needn’t worry about those Emperor Realm experts. They generally don’t show themselves; most of the time, they are in seclusion."

"And as long as you pass the Truth Testing Stone and prove you don’t possess any Ancient Inheritance, the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land won’t trouble you; they might even appoint you as Saint Heir."

Lu Chen said, "Ordinarily, Emperor Realm experts wouldn’t emerge."

"But during the period of Eternal Night, those Emperor Realm experts should all have appeared."

Chu Yuqin said, "Didn’t you say you would go to the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land after the Eternal Night ends?"

"Once the Eternal Night ends, the Emperor Realm experts of the Sacred Land will go back into seclusion. Why are you concerned about them?"

At that point, Chu Yuqin suddenly remembered something and said, "Are you aiming for Yunzhi, afraid that touching her would anger the Emperor Realm ancestors of the Sacred Land?"

Lu Chen said, "Uh, that’s part of the reason."

Chu Yuqin didn’t know how to respond to Lu Chen. He hadn’t even reached the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, yet was already fixated on Chu Yunzhi’s body.

Oh well, for him to restore his strength, he relied on them, the Mysterious Ancestors. If he was fixated, so be it.

Then Chu Yuqin said, "As long as you don’t force Yunzhi, the Holy Land Ancestors wouldn’t care about such matters."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Do you think she’d agree to become my woman without me using some despicable means?"

"Well..."

Chu Yuqin hesitated to speak.

Indeed, considering Chu Yunzhi’s personality, she was unlikely to agree to dual cultivation with Lu Chen.
