The imperial concubine is charming and coquettish, she crazily criticizes the tyrant for spoiling he

"Let's go!" Yunhe was already used to Shaojie's impulsive nature, so after he left, she led them directly to a semi-open hall next door. From the outside, it was clear that there was nothing inside, with only occasional people going in and out. When they saw Yunhe, they would politely bow and walk away; no one was as curious about them as Shaojie had been.

Upon entering the main hall, one could see that it was actually quite large, filled with small pavilions, each with a name inscribed on its plaque. These pavilions were actually teleportation arrays, each with a name corresponding to a different peak—a total of fifteen. This was just the entrance teleportation array; presumably, each peak had its own individual teleportation array. The teleportation arrays were intricately designed and required a large amount of spirit stones to maintain their operation. Therefore, in each state, only powerful cities possessed teleportation arrays, and even having a single directional one was a source of pride, hence the need to pay spirit stones to pass through and to queue. This was sufficient proof of the Star-Picking Tower's formidable strength. However, the outside world mostly spoke of the Star-Picking Tower's divination abilities. But judging from the motionless flexible bridge suspended in the air and the various flying boats in the sky, the Star-Picking Tower was also quite skilled in array formations and weapon crafting. The fact that only a small part of the iceberg has been shown is already enough to attract outsiders, not to mention the rest. This is probably why the Star-Picking Tower does not allow outsiders to enter. Otherwise, it would be too conspicuous and would not attract respect, but rather predation by wolves and tigers.

Yunhe led them into the small pavilion on Yunyin Peak. With a flash of light, they arrived at the top platform of a mountain peak. In front of them were long steps that extended into the clouds. Behind them, elegant pavilions appeared and disappeared in the mist. Just looking at this scenery, it was worthy of the name Yunyin.

The moment they stepped onto the steps, a soothing aura washed over them, filling them with energy. Walking up the steps, they felt no fatigue at all; in fact, they felt more and more energetic as they went on. This was clearly the effect of the Spirit Gathering Array. Qing Sang also knew how to use a Spirit Gathering Array, but she couldn't create one as large as one that could cover an entire mountain. Once again, they were impressed by the extravagance of the Star-Picking Tower.

After a thousand steps, pavilions and towers come into view, making one feel as if they are in the courtyard of a noble family.

There weren't many people on Yunyin Peak. Occasionally, when they encountered other disciples, they would greet Yun He from afar and then walk away. The entire environment gave people a sense of tranquility and peace, far removed from worldly strife, like a paradise on earth.

Yun He gave them a brief tour before leading them back to his courtyard. Since Yun He wasn't taking on any more disciples, the courtyard was even quieter.

After everyone sat down inside, Yun He spoke directly: "The rumors circulating outside that the Star-Picking Pavilion has divined a new divine artifact in the Ten Thousand Mountains are true. Originally, the Star-Picking Pavilion never participated in these external conflicts, but we had to get involved in this matter. You must have heard about the Heavenly Net Sect, the number one sect in Central State, since you've come here. We at the Star-Picking Pavilion owed the Heavenly Net Sect a favor years ago. The Heavenly Net Sect's power has waned over the past three hundred years, so they asked us to divine the turning point of their fortunes. The result of the divination was the time and place of the divine artifact's appearance. Because this is considered peeking into the secrets of heaven, we dared not calculate too precisely, only the approximate time and place. We didn't expect someone to get there first. The Heavenly Net Sect's efforts were in vain." They also lost some disciples. That person not only accurately located the artifact and took it beforehand, but also managed to escape from the hands of the Tianluo Sect and other major sects, proving he was no ordinary person. More importantly, the Pavilion Master was deceived when divining the person's location, only able to deduce that the person fled to Zhongzhou. The Pavilion Master's divination skills were unmatched throughout Cangyuan Yunji; only fate could deceive him now. Therefore, the Pavilion Master immediately realized this matter was not simple, and urged everyone in the Pavilion to perform another divination. They divined that there was still a chance for a turnaround, in the Ten Thousand Mountains, and that this matter even concerned the fate of the entire Cangyuan Yunji. Therefore, this time the Star-Picking Pavilion would no longer remain uninvolved, leaving only the young people in the Pavilion while the core members went to the Ten Thousand Mountains with the Tianluo Sect.

Yunhe paused for a moment, then looked at Qingsang and said, "I divined that you would be coming to Zhongzhou soon, so I stayed to wait for you. While I was divining, I also glimpsed a bit of heavenly secrets, and this matter is closely related to you."

Qing Sang nodded, "Yes, I know who that person is." She then recounted everything that had happened in Lanxi Continent to Yun He in detail, including the statue in the Changli Temple and the final divine power. Combined with what Yun He had just said, this Changli must be related to the God Realm. The God Realm has been detached from the mortal world for ten thousand years, yet suddenly a Changli, or perhaps Chen Shuangxu, has appeared. They all seem to be searching for something that is of no benefit to them personally, so it's very likely they are searching for someone in the God Realm. Why would gods, already so powerful, need anything from the mortal world? Qing Sang thought of the illusion she saw in the Ghost Ruins, and the memories she had lost as the Fusang Divine Tree. Why had she separated her torso and heart and hidden them? Perhaps the secret of the long-standing war in the Xuan Tian Realm ten thousand years ago was also related to this.

Upon hearing that Changli had finally escaped, Yunhe thought for a moment: "If he has a god behind him and his goal is a divine artifact, then he will not give up easily and will surely appear in the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

“Yes, and my father and mother are also in the Ten Thousand Mountains. I originally planned to resolve these matters before going to them, but now they've all rushed here. If it all points to the Ten Thousand Mountains, then I think my mother's sudden accident was probably related to this.” Qing Sang felt as if a hand was weaving a dense net behind the scenes, silently ensnaring them all. “Then let's not delay, let's set off for the Ten Thousand Mountains immediately!” Since things were more complicated than they were, it was best to leave quickly, so Yun He made the decision immediately.

"Alright! Master, my friend Lan Suyu actually has another request." Qing Sang had never forgotten the promise she made to Lan Suyu. Although they initially only had a mutually beneficial relationship, after going through so much together, they had long since become friends. Therefore, she hoped to fulfill Lan Suyu's long-cherished wish before setting off. As for whether Lan Suyu would accompany Qing Sang to the Hundred Thousand Mountains after fulfilling her wish, that was up to her. After all, this matter was no longer just her personal affair; it involved three continents and the Divine Realm, so it was bound to be extremely dangerous.

Lan Suyu glanced gratefully at Qing Sang, and without further ado, bowed to Yun He. "Immortal Master, I would like you to help me divine the fate of someone."

Yunhe nodded: "Come with me!"

This was, after all, Lan Suyu's private matter, so the two of them went to the quiet room, while Qing Sang and the others stayed behind to wait.

"Shuangyue, Qianhe, Xiaohui, you've all heard it. This matter isn't simple; it's bound to be bloody. The three of you originally came out to gain experience; you didn't necessarily have to go on this adventure. Zhongzhou is vast and has unique customs. If you stay there, you'll also gain valuable experience. If everything is over, we can reunite." Qingsang looked at her companions, with whom she had spent so much time, and earnestly stated her plans.

“I am already a dead man. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be where I am today. And I always feel that my relationship with Chen Shuangxu is not over yet.” As soon as Qing Sang finished speaking, Liu Shuangyue spoke up to express her attitude.

After she finished speaking, Xiao Hui immediately stood up and grabbed Qing Sang's hand: "Me too. When Master brought me out of Ghost City, I said that I would go wherever Master was. I will work hard to cultivate and protect Master."

Bai Qianhe smiled nonchalantly: "My attitude remains the same as before."

Seeing the resolute expressions on their faces, Qing Sang was deeply moved. At times like these, she desperately wanted to find her own heart. (End of Chapter)
