Chapter 104.6 Each And Everyone’s Ulterior Motives

“Yeah.” You Wuming smiled carelessly, “You and I are their mourners.”

Sang Yuanyuan turned her head to look at him, and even looked at him for a long time.

It turned out that her fate and his fate were so closely linked. There’s mutual achievement when the two of them are together, and there’s none when whichever one of them is missing.

When Sang Yuanyuan sorted out the ins and outs, You Wuming also happened to stop his footsteps.

They have finally arrived at their destination.

This secret base that the Old Yun Emperor set up in Ji state looks like a big yard of an ordinary wealthy family.

It was quiet and there was no one around.

Sang Yuanyuan asked quietly: “Are we sneaking in or…”

You Wuming kicked open the courtyard door with one of his feet.

Sang Yuanyuan: “…”

When the two of them stepped into the courtyard, they found that the whole yard was deadly silent, without any personal guards nor servants.

The hallway was covered with ashes.

“He can’t trust anyone.” You Wuming raised his lips mockingly, “But believes in an Underworld Demon.”

Sang Yuanyuan shook her head and sighed: “Maybe knowing that he will die at the hands of future generations has caused a great psychological shadow on him.”

Put oneself in his shoes, it indeed seems a little bit f*cked up.

You Wuming was noncommittal, he simply tore down the doors neatly, led Sang Yuanyuan to the secret passage hidden in the bedroom of the main house, and walked down.

It went incredibly smoothly.

It was only a cup of tea’s time before and after entering the courtyard. Sang Yuanyuan and You Wuming opened the last black iron secret door and came to the secret room with the upside-down black iron cauldron.

A man dressed in a black imperial robe with a golden crown on his head stood behind the cauldron with one of his hands placed above the black iron cauldron. He slowly raised his thick double eyelids and looked at You Wuming and Sang Yuanyuan.

The appearance of the Old Yun Emperor is very ordinary, just like an ordinary old and muddle headed emperor.

“You are here.” The Old Yun Emperor smiled, “You Wuming, I really underestimated you.”

You Wuming lazily folded his arms and said, “Will you give up resistance and allow yourself to be seized without putting up a fight?”

“No——” The Old Yun Emperor stretched the tone very long, “How can it be? That’s impossible. The life of Yun Yi, me, is up to me, not up to heaven. You turn around now, get out of here and close the door for me, then we will be at peace with each other. Otherwise, I will take the power of destiny overflowing in this cauldron and turn my old body into a big explosive——Boom! We will be finished together.”

Sang Yuanyuan looked at the cauldron with a strange look.

You Wuming said: “I came all the way here only to ask you about how to use the Heavenly Divination Mirror.”

The Old Yun Emperor smiled gently: “Actually, the method is very simple. Just put your hand on it and think about the things in your heart, then you will be able to feel the vital energy’s movement inside. However, afterwards, there is no more power of destiny anymore inside the mirror, and it was necessary to use resonance to extract energy from the underground to supply it. So it was a bit troublesome, and people like those from the Temple of Heaven have to be raised to help with it. Later again… it was of little use, because it was already broken.”

Sang Yuanyuan understood that when the Old Yun Emperor first got the Heavenly Divination Mirror, it was like a mobile phone with a little battery left. The Old Yun Emperor could use it and check a lot of information. Later, when the battery ran out, it could only be used with full power while it was being charged at the Temple of Heaven, which led it to being overused and exploded.

Sang Yuanyuan said: “So, making this small black iron tripod is also something that you learned from the Heavenly Divination Mirror.”

The Old Yun Emperor raised his eyebrows: “This little girl is quite smart.”

“Then do you know what the transparent light body in the giant cauldron is?” Sang Yuan asked.

The Old Yun Emperor was stunned for a moment: “The younger generation is indeed terrifying. I’ve never met a few girls who are beautiful and also intelligent at the same time. You’ve asked the right person. This question, in the entire eighteen states of Cloud Realm, only I can answer it for you.”

Chapter 104.7 Each And Everyone’s Ulterior Motives

“That’s the race of the high-level world, which is called Arcane.” The Old Yun Emperor narrowed his eyes, as if recalling what he saw in the mirror at the beginning, “The indomitable light giant. Do you know why they are called ‘Arcane’? Just look at the word Arcane itself. Isn’t there a sky above it? Below the sky, there is a head the size of the sun, with a neck and limbs under the head [1]. Arcane, is just such a big thing. Even one of its fingers must be thousands of li long.”

Sang Yuanyuan and You Wuming looked at each other.

The Old Yun Emperor said: “The people in that world are so amazing. The Arcane is trapped by them and couldn’t move for tens of thousands of years. It continuously provides resources and energy for people to cultivate and create an unimaginable fortress that can fly to the sky. The Underworld Demons are the form of Arcane’s pain and resentment. Once generated, it will pollute the pure energy of the Arcane.”

“So they cut off a part of the Arcane’s body, cut off the flesh and blood, leaving only the bones. Then they put it into an inferior world like ours and set a trap. The Arcane’s pain and resentment will be attracted by this broken bone and projected into our world, which is the overwhelming Underworld Demons!”

Sang Yuanyuan took a deep breath: “Then, what are we?”

“What are we?” The Old Yun Emperor smiled mockingly, “Perhaps we are just the mouse that happened to be born in the heap of garbage.”

“You want to get the power and then get out, don’t you?” Sang Yuanyuan asked.

“Yes.” The Old Yun Emperor smiled. “You are right. Who is willing to be a mouse all his life? Of course, I want to go out and have a look.”

You Wuming nodded: “You won’t be able to see it anymore. In the future, when I and Mulberry occupy those territories, I will remember to offer incense to you and let you know.”

The Old Yun Emperor narrowed his eyes maliciously and insidiously: “You Wuming, did you forget what I said just now? Do you want to die together?!”

He pressed his hand heavily on the black iron cauldron.

You Wuming looks indifferent. He slowly pulls out the big black sword from behind him. The tip of the sword ignited with a black flame, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his lips as he approached step by step.

“Ha! Great! Let’s die together then!” The Old Yun Emperor suddenly opened the black iron cauldron.

There is no colorful force in this cauldron, but a mass of black flames that is the same as what’s on You Wuming’s sword.

Even the golden crown on the Old Yun Emperor’s head was crooked from the shock: “How is it possible! The power of destiny in here was obviously drawn from the underground, how could it be changed stealthily!”

Sang Yuanyuan looked at him sympathetically: “It’s not changed stealthily. It’s just that Youwuming has replaced the ‘destiny’ and become an existence that is difficult for you to understand.”

The colorful flame in the giant cauldron has been ignited by You Wuming and the Old Yun Emperor uses resonance to absorb the power in the cauldron. So naturally, what he was drawing into him can only be You Wuming’s black flame.

You Wuming subdued the Old Yun Emperor neatly and quickly. He abolished his cultivation and threw him to the side.

“Mulberry, let me try if I can use the power of that Arcane’s bone to repair the Heavenly Divination Mirror.”

You Wuming took out the broken mirror pieces, placed them on the ground then assembled them together carefully piece by piece, and covered it with the black iron cauldron before waving out the black flame and causing resonance.

Sang Yuanyuan looked at You Wuming with focused eyebrows and eyes, and stared silently for a while before moving quietly to stand beside him, upholding the constitution for him.

After a long time, You Wuming finally let out a long breath and slowly opened the black iron cauldron.

Then they saw a smooth and flawless square mirror lying quietly under the cauldron.

The Heavenly Divination Mirror has been repaired.

Sang Yuanyuan stretched out her hand to touch it but was stopped by You Wuming.

He said: “There’s no need to hurry. Let’s send this ancestor back to Yun state first.”

At this moment, Sang Yuanyuan somewhat could not see through this familiar man.

There seemed to be a little more ethereal light between his beautiful eyebrows and eyes, which was the kind of indifference similar to that of a God that she had seen in him.

She is a little nervous.
