Chapter 100: The Tower Master of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics?
Chapter 100: The Tower Master of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics?
Feeling the terrifying power of the Nascent Soul cultivators, Luo Wusheng sighed, sitting down cross-legged on the ground.
Two Nascent Soul cultivators were entangled in an indeterminate battle on the Ascending Immortality Lake. It was unlikely that a victor would be decided in a short period.
However, the longer the battle dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for the demon clan.
After all, this was the territory of the Immortal Nation. Who knew if another Nascent Soul cultivator from the human race would appear after some time?
Moreover, the Empress hadn't arrived yet, and it was likely that she was preparing to besiege the old servants of the demon lord
Fortunately, at the moment, it seemed that the demon clan had a slight advantage.
Although the outcome of the Nascent Soul battle was unclear, the number of Nascent Souls among the old servants of the demon clan was temporarily greater than the hastily arrived Nascent Soul cultivators from the Immortal Nation. They also set up an ambush beforehand, gaining the upper hand in the short term.
Additionally, the Immortal Nation was unable to immediately stop the demon clan, allowing the Nascent Soul giant ape demon to deliver a powerful blow to the sealing formation of the Ascending Immortality Lake. The formation was now damaged, requiring the Immortal Nation to allocate manpower to guard it and prevent the demon clan from secretly going to the lake bottom to unseal the demon lord.
"It seems there is still some hope at the moment, but if it continues like this, it's likely that the demon lord won't be rescued"
"Unless the demon clan intervenes with another Nascent Soul cultivator at this time but it's highly unlikely. Although the demon lord has a loyal group of subordinates, the demon clan ultimately follows strength, especially in such a critical moment. It's already quite good to have a Nascent Soul cultivator willing to take risks"
Luo Wusheng rubbed his temples, feeling a slight headache.
He now understood what it meant to be "everything in vain in the face of absolute strength."
He had exhausted all his strategies.
He couldn't rely solely on himself anymore. So, were there any other allies?
"Those that are related to me are the Demon Sect? If I could call upon an Inner Disciple of the sect to help, it could solve the problem. But I don't have a way to contact the sect. The only option would be to crush the Holy Saint Token, and maybe it could summon the Demon Sect's Holy Lord"
However, that wouldn't be useful. After all, it was only his benevolent master protecting his life as the Holy Saint, not an almighty wish-granting machine.
Even if he were truly summoned, it didn't necessarily mean the situation would improve.
Thinking about the disappearing bald coachman and the Buddhist Sect that he hadn't truly faced head-on, Luo Wusheng quickly gave up on that idea.
(After all, this is about rescuing the true protagonist's harem. I should look into the situation related to Little Yuli)
By now, he had already established quite a few connections with the true protagonist and several members of her harem.
Hmm but he couldn't rely on those who hadn't grown much yet.
That seemed to leave only one person.
(Do I have to directly sway the Empress? Stage a rebellion? Why, Your Majesty, have you turned against us?)
Wouldn't that be difficult?
"But this seems to be the option with the highest chance of success among the choices available to me at least it's not completely hopeless."
As long as the Empress's mortal body truly held some goodwill towards Yao Ji, which had been gained through his actions.
However, after pondering for a moment, Luo Wusheng shook his head.
He couldn't explain to the Empress the reason for releasing the demon lord.
Moreover, the demon lord had been suppressed by the former emperor and had been at war with the Immortal Nation. Releasing her at this time, when there was already resentment between the demon clan and the Immortal Nation, and the demon race empress also possessed peak Tribulation Crossing cultivation if the demon race and the Immortal Nation were to go to war, the Immortal Nation Empress couldn't do anything.
Perhaps the dilemma had made him feel confused, but Luo Wusheng's thoughts started to wander.
Tribulation Crossing.. Tribulation Crossing
Speaking of it, when he thought of Gao Shi, the fake divination master, he also thought of the master of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics, who was at the Tribulation Crossing stage.
Thinking of the master of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics, Luo Wusheng's mind immediately provided him with the corresponding information from the original plot database.
The master of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics, Yue Xuanji.
A Tribulation Crossing cultivator who was proficient in various divination techniques.
As one of the top practitioners in the field of divination in this world, this master of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics was also skilled in calculations and scheming.
Because of her ability to foresee events in advance, her actions and plans seemed like a series of random moves, but often, within each step, they had already set the stage for victory.
In that sense, this person was undoubtedly more formidable than the Buddhist Sect, which had been his hypothetical enemy all along.
But Luo Wusheng wouldn't curse this person in his mind like he did the bald monks of the Buddhist Sect.
(The master of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics, Yue Xuanji, clearly set up many schemes centered around Little Yuli in the original work but that doesn't mean she has ill intentions. On the contrary, she probably has goodwill toward the protagonist's group to some extent.)
In the original work, the protagonist's group often received clues during their encounters with various incidents. It seemed like a coincidence on the surface, but behind it all, there was the hidden assistance of the master of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics.
Although he didn't know the specific reasons, Luo Wusheng believed that this was the author's way of setting up the master of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics as a member of the protagonist's harem.
Yes, this master of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics was one of the peerless beauties, and her appearance made her quite recognizable at that.
According to the original work, although she had unparalleled talent in divination, those who profited from divine calculations would also suffer from its backlash. And in her case, it was more like the author's sadistic taste rather than a proper backlash.
After making countless excessive deductions, Yue Xuanji naturally experienced the backlash of divine calculations.
Rather than calling it a backlash, Luo Wusheng felt it was more like the author's wicked sense of humor.
After all, this backlash brought about many side effects, but one stood out the most.
Time disorder.
Time would have a special effect on her, making the master of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics only exhibit her appearance from her childhood, while her hair would turn silver.
In other words, the master of Tower of Heavenly Mechanics that is he speculate to be one of Little Yuli potential harem members is something that the people from his previous life called as a Legal Loli.
If someone said that the author didn't plan to make her a member of the protagonist's harem Well, Luo Wusheng didn't believe it.
Right, now that he thought about it, she would probably look similar to the little girl standing in front of him
Hmm?
Luo Wusheng suddenly snapped out of his thoughts.
Then he rubbed his eyes vigorously.
"The result that I obtained from divination is true, You really recognized me."
Under the tree opposite him, a petite girl dressed in loose robes moved gracefully, seemingly unaffected by the tremors caused by the Nascent Soul realm cultivator battle. She approached Luo Wusheng.
After stopping in front of him, the young girl exuded an aura of calmness, as if the terrifying battle on the Ascending Immortality Lake no longer affected this place.
With her deep and profound emerald eyes, the young girl looked down on the still dazed Luo Wusheng, her flawless little face showing a hint of contemplation.
She then took a step back, gently brushing her ear and pulling out a silver-white strand of hair.
The silver-white color gradually faded from the hair strand, transforming into a deep black before being lifted by the breeze and vanishing into thin air.
"As expected, your destiny has shifted once again."
At that moment, Luo Wusheng was certain.
This appearance, this posture, and even the enigmatic words that only a divination master would understand.
Coupled with the unfathomable aura he felt from her
"Could it be!? You are the Master of Tower of Heavenly Mechanics? Yue Xuanji?"
