Chapter 133 Retrograde Astrological Chart

Chapter 133 Retrograde Astrological Chart

"Not human?"

Lou Yuqing looked at the illusory figure in mid-air, unsure whether Tianjian was belittling the other party or telling the truth.

[It, like me, is a spirit of a celestial artifact, possessing the power of laws; however, it has been corrupted by demonic energy and has become a demonic artifact.]

"That's why it wants to open the Demon Realm passage. Since it can transform into human form, you should be able to as well," Lou Yuqing reasoned.

The light in the orb paused for a moment, then drooped.

Only the Heavenly Mirror in its true form can transform into human form.

Forget that it is currently in a split state.

Lou Yuqing smiled apologetically and changed the subject: "Is that guy's power of law related to luck?"

This statement is not entirely accurate. Its actual name is the Retrograde Astrological Chart, which can steal fortune, but its primary function is to divine celestial secrets and exert certain forms of manipulation.

[To give a simple example, it used the power of celestial secrets to alter your and Nangan's perceptions, making you believe that you had entered into a marriage contract.]

[In reality, it was a covert operation, hiding misfortune within the jade pendant brought from Nangan, intending to eliminate you. Of course, the real target was me.]

This indirectly explains Lou Yuqing's previous doubts: the reversed horoscope had secretly caused her memory to become confused, making her believe that she really had a marriage agreement with Nan Gan.

Lou Yuqing asked again, "Tianjian, I am the original owner, so why do I have memories of time travel?"

[Inspired by a certain world, the Heavenly Mirror disguises itself as a gossip-eating system to awaken your past life memories and help you prevent your luck from slipping away.]

If you feel it's affecting your life, I will erase the relevant memories.

"Quite trendy," Lou Yuqing remarked, shaking her head. "No need."

Memories of past lives are like movies; they don't burden the brain. Instead, they provide a modern way of thinking and will automatically surface when needed.

Thinking about it, it's actually quite interesting.

Lou Yuqing took a deep breath: "One last question. You're not at your full potential right now, and my cultivation is almost useless. How can you kill the Reverse Fate Star Chart?"

If Tianjian hadn't pointed it out, she wouldn't have known that there was an evil spirit coveting the fortune of this plane.

In my prime, a hundred of them wouldn't be a match for me, but things are different now, we need to use some strategy.

"What scheme?"

【Inviting the enemy into the trap】

I don't know how much time has passed.

Lou Yuqing left the Tianjian Space, and her vision gradually cleared after she opened her eyes. Turning her head, she suddenly met a pair of bloodshot eyes.

"You've been unconscious for half a month, and you've finally woken up." Ling Yunxiao's voice was hoarse, and his eyes flashed with a mix of emotions, including joy, lingering fear, and excitement.

Lou Yuqing moved her fingers: "Let me go first. Are you the only one here? Where is everyone else?"

Ling Yunxiao realized he had overreacted, withdrew his hand from hers, and said with a slight nervousness in his voice, "I'm sorry, I offended you."

Lou Yuqing stood up and said, "It's nothing. Tell me what exactly happened. Although I was asleep the whole time, I vaguely heard that it was related to the Demonic Sect."

Ling Yunxiao watched her retreating figure and sensed a slight change. He was surprised and wondered if the Void Fortune Beast had failed to help her resolve her bad luck.

No, if it weren't for that, the Void Fortune Beast would definitely have confessed.

Ling Yunxiao dismissed his extraneous thoughts and flew with her towards Xuantian Peak, saying, "Ten days ago, the demonic forces of the Black Barbarian Domain launched a full-scale attack on the nearest city like madmen."

Seeing Lou Yuqing's solemn expression, he comforted her, "Don't worry, after receiving the news, the Seven Sects have already sent people to provide support, and other forces on the continent have also mobilized."

Lou Yuqing suddenly glanced at him: "Why didn't you go?"

"Elder Shi Hua has gone to the front lines, so I'm staying here to take care of you." Ling Yunxiao spoke very quickly, trying not to make her misunderstand that he was cowardly.

Lou Yuqing chuckled and said, "I understand."

What kind of answer is this?

Ling Yunxiao opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. Frustrated, he thought, "Doesn't she have any opinion on my behavior? She could at least briefly express her feelings."

For example, rejection, dislike, resistance... that seems too pessimistic. Actually, he wanted to hear the word "like," but unfortunately, she didn't reveal anything.

However, now is not the time to dwell on feelings. Let's wait until this ordeal is over before testing the waters again.

Ling Yunxiao secretly cheered himself up, and his face regained its calm expression.

The Hall of Law Enforcement.

The high-ranking officials, led by Immortal Venerable Zixiao, are holding a meeting.

"The Demonic Sect's forces are coming on strong, as if they want to perish together with us. What's suspicious is that their Nascent Soul stage cultivators haven't appeared yet..." Sect Leader Qingxuzi paused, looked towards the door, and a look of joy flashed in his eyes.

Lou Yuqing stepped into the hall and bowed, saying, "Disciple greets Master, and pays respects to the Sect Leader and all the elders."

A gentle force lifted her up.

Immortal Venerable Zixiao asked with concern, "How are you feeling?"

Others also cast concerned glances.

Ling Yunxiao watched her profile from the side.

Lou Yuqing lowered her head and said, "This disciple is fine, but there is an important matter to report. While I was asleep, I came to an unfamiliar place. A voice told me that the Wendao Sect is in danger of destruction and that Master needs to break through his cultivation level to resolve it."

Everyone was shocked. Annihilation!

Could it be a surprise attack by Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Demonic Sect?

They all understood that the so-called voice in their dreams was just an excuse Lou Yuqing made up, but the information she gave was undoubtedly very reliable.

Qingxuzi looked at Zixiao Immortal Venerable and asked excitedly, "Uncle-Master, your cultivation has advanced further?"

The hints given by Yuqing were definitely not in vain.

Zixiao Immortal Venerable sighed, "Not long ago I did feel the opportunity to break through, but once I successfully break through, I will ascend to the upper realm and will no longer be able to protect the sect."

Yes, this method is not advisable.

But how can they withstand a crisis that could destroy their sect?

Everyone pondered a solution with great anxiety, and the hall was silent.

The excuse based on dreams is not convincing enough for my master; I must find a new reason to persuade him to make this breakthrough.

[As long as Master agrees to my tribulation, I can draw upon the power of heavenly lightning to severely injure the three Nascent Soul stage cultivators who launched the sneak attack, giving everyone a chance to kill them.]

[Think of something quickly! We're running out of time! We only have two hours left!]

Lou Yuqing's anxious thoughts echoed in everyone's ears.

The amount of information was so overwhelming that everyone was stunned for a moment before gasping for breath.

A Nascent Soul cultivator can mobilize the primordial energy of heaven and earth, which is qualitatively different from a Core Formation cultivator. The sect's twenty-odd Core Formation cultivators combined cannot defeat a single Nascent Soul cultivator.

Not to mention, there weren't actually that many people, since some were stationed in forbidden areas, some were guarding secret realms, and others had gone to the front lines.

Furthermore, with only two hours left, the pressure from this number is undeniably immense. If they don't handle it properly, the Wendao Sect is on the verge of destruction.

Sect Leader Qingxuzi's mind raced. He couldn't let Martial Uncle Zixiao fight three against one, or he would be dragged down to death sooner or later. His only chance of survival lay in what Yuqing had said!

They must believe her!

Thinking of this, Qingxuzi made a decision: "Uncle-Master, Yuqing's dream is an omen, and we must be careful. I think you should do this."

Zeng Xuangan was the first to respond: "I think so too."

Kui Tu, Hong Yan, Meng Zonghan, and other elders all expressed their opinions.

Shi Hua and the Sage of Medicine were not present; they, along with some elders, had gone to the front lines to command their sect's disciples in battle against the demonic cultivators.

[What a twist of fate! The sect leader and elders actually believed it. Will Master be persuaded by them?]

Seeing the apprehension in his little disciple's eyes, the Purple Cloud Immortal Venerable knew he couldn't hesitate any longer. He sighed, came to her, and patted her head: "Master is going to break through."

His worries were never for himself, but for her, his last disciple. He took out a storage bracelet and put it on her wrist, then turned to look at everyone: "I'm entrusting Yuqing to you."

Qingxuzi and the others assured them, "Uncle-Master, with us here, Yuqing will be absolutely safe!"

They were well aware of their uncle's inner turmoil. He had previously taken in three disciples, all of whom had unfortunately perished, leaving only Lou Yuqing as his disciple.

Immortal Venerable Zixiao said with a smile, "Protect the sect well, protect her well."

As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a purple stream of light and disappeared outside the palace.

He gradually released his suppressed cultivation, and the disciples who remained in the sect sensed this aura and looked up in horror.

Sect Leader Qingxuzi and others followed to Cangtian Peak to protect Zixiao Immortal Venerable during his breakthrough.

Inside the hall, only Lou Yuqing and Ling Yunxiao were present.

Lou Yuqing touched the storage bracelet, looking down as if lost in thought, her face showing no sign of worry.

Ling Yunxiao frowned slightly but did not step forward to speak.

Although Senior Zixiao is very confident about the tribulation of ascension, it is not 100% certain that she will succeed. She is Senior Zixiao's disciple, don't you want to go and see?

Ling Yunxiao's heart sank slightly as he sensed the changes in her becoming increasingly intense.

Lou Yuqing suddenly asked, "Aren't you leaving?"

Ling Yunxiao asked, "Where to?"

Lou Yuqing replied matter-of-factly, "Hidden Heaven Peak."

She was looking at what Senior Zixiao had left behind, so she didn't react immediately?

Ling Yunxiao breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt ashamed; he shouldn't have doubted her.

Just as he was wondering how to face her, Lou Yuqing spoke up, her tone languid: "Let me ask you a question, do you like me? No, do you like her?"

Ling Yunxiao felt a chill run down his spine and said warily, "You really aren't her!"

His thoughts raced. Yu Qing should still be alive, otherwise Senior Zi Xiao would have sensed the soul lamp going out.

Lou Yuqing stepped forward and said with a smile, "I'm just borrowing it for a bit. You still haven't answered me: do you like the owner of this body?"

Ling Yunxiao looked at her coldly, trying to remain rational amidst his anger, but feeling self-reproach and guilt welled up in his heart.

He failed to take good care of her, allowing this unknown entity to seize control of her body.

His shadow clone silently concealed itself within the other person's shadow. He intended to knock the other person unconscious, find the sect leader and the others, and bring Yu Qing back to consciousness.

Suddenly, he remembered his earlier thoughts.

This is Yuqing's unique ability. Could it be that the other party not only possesses her body but also controls her innate divine power?

No, the content of that inner voice was entirely in Yu Qing's tone; it seemed that the other party wanted to save Wen Dao Sect.

Ling Yunxiao's expression changed. After thinking about it more deeply, he realized that the other party was encouraging Senior Zixiao to undergo tribulation.

Regardless of whether Senior Zixiao succeeds or not, Wendao Sect will lose its strongest fighting force. If a Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivator launches an attack at this time, the sect will face annihilation.

Ling Yunxiao suddenly launched an attack, his shadow clone emerging from the opponent's shadow, its five fingers forming a claw, grabbing at his back without making a sound or stirring the wind.

But Lou Yuqing seemed to have anticipated this, her figure vanishing into nothingness, causing his attack to miss. She smiled and said, "Since you won't answer, go and keep her company."

A white streak flashing with mysterious runes flew out, instantly wrapping around Ling Yunxiao's body and dragging him into the white space.
