Chapter 049: The Celestial Mechanism Revealed
"I have met you, senior." Yang Chen bowed slightly and said.
"I have met you, senior." The members of the Shadow Kill Yongbing group mimicked Yang Chen and saluted.
"No need for that; it only shortens my lifespan. No need to bow." As Yang Chen was bowing, the old man in white sidestepped to avoid it. Yang Chen said nothing more, stood up, and waited for Zhuque to speak first.
Sure enough, without needing Yang Chen's prompt, Zhuque excitedly said, "Grandpa Yi, why are you here? Didn't you say you were going to handle something?"
Elder Yi smiled slightly and replied, "I finished my business and came to find you. Who knew you were acting as someone else's henchman?" He glanced at Yang Chen, who nodded in understanding. What business? It was secretly protecting you from danger while also fearing that you, as a young lady, wouldn't enjoy yourself. This was the only way to deceive you, silly girl.
"Hmph, Grandpa Yi, it's all his fault. You must teach him a lesson. He told me to take action." Zhuque pointed angrily at Yang Chen.
"Alright, girl. Aren't you doing well now? Yang Chen hasn't done anything wrong," Elder Yi said with a smile.
"Hmph. Listen here; I don't want to follow you anymore. You need to remove the mark on my head; it's so ugly. Otherwise, I'll have Grandpa Yi kill you." Zhuque had a typical expression of a petty person reveling in their small victory as she spoke defiantly.
"Well, if you want me to remove it, then kiss me first. Otherwise, even if you kill me, it won't work, and you'll die with me," Yang Chen said shamelessly.
"You rogue! I won't kiss you! If you don't remove it, I'll have Grandpa Yi beat you to death!" Zhuque scolded with a flushed face. Elder Yi was now in a state of observing with his eyes closed and ignoring what Zhuque was saying. Seeing this situation, Zhuque clung to Elder Yi's arm and acted coyly, saying, "Grandpa Yi~~ Yi~"
"Oh dear, my little ancestor, stop calling me! I'll help you take a look; isn't that good enough? If it really doesn't work out, I'll help you beat your husband," Elder Yi said helplessly.
"Hubby, husband?" Yang Chen was momentarily speechless; this old man really knew how to joke.
"Elder Yi, what are you joking about? Don't say such things," Zhuque said shyly, but her expression showed no sign of reluctance.
"No way?" Yang Chen said helplessly. "Little Princess, have you forgotten what Elder Yi's old profession is?" Zheng Gang reminded her.
"Right! Elder Yi, did you figure something out?" Zhuque's eyes lit up as she hurriedly asked.
"Hehe, old man advises you that while this mark may look a bit unsightly, at least there is still some connection between you two, even if it's thousands of miles apart."
"Oh, good! Bad guy. If you don't remove this mark, then I won't have to kiss you anymore, ha ha. Yes, very clever," Zhuque said happily.
"Little Princess, but our marks..." Zheng Gang and Jiang Liang began to speak.
"Right, you two. Hey, bad guy, you can't help them remove their marks," Zhuque inquired.
Yang Chen raised his right hand and tapped his cheek mischievously. Just as Zhuque hesitated, Yang Chen waved his hand, and a gray light emerged from Zheng Gang and Jiang Liang's brows, flowing towards the Nine-Pointed Star on Yang Chen's forehead.
"I just heard Zheng Gang say that Senior can tell fortunes?" Yang Chen said respectfully.
"A little bit," Elder Yi said humbly while stroking his beard, though pride was evident in his eyes.
"Please, Senior, do a reading for me," Yang Chen said respectfully.
"You can offer what kind of reward?" Elder Yi said calmly.
"You may choose one of two options: First, the Destiny Altering Artifact - Heavenly Mechanism Inkstone. Second, whenever I am in this world, at any time and place, if I hear your message, I can do one thing for you, as long as it does not go against my true intentions."
"Oh? That's quite a high price. Heavenly Mechanism Inkstone? But I would like to choose the second option," Elder Yi said with a smile.
"Alright, I owe Elder Yi a promise," Yang Chen said respectfully.
"Elder Yi, what does this bad guy have? Isn't your greatest wish to possess the Heavenly Mechanism Inkstone in your lifetime? Why not take it?" Zhuque advised.
"Heavenly Mechanism Inkstone? He can't produce it now, so why should I care?" Elder Yi smiled and said, "Five years from now, when he possesses the Heavenly Mechanism Inkstone, I am confident I can exchange it from him."
"Big bad guy, you're trying to pull a fast one. Elder Yi actually fell for your trick," Zhuque said with a pout.
"Kid, how about we make an agreement?" Elder Yi said.
"What kind of agreement?" Yang Chen asked.
"Help me keep the Heavenly Mechanism Inkstone for ten years. How about that?" Elder Yi said. Yang Chen paused for a moment before agreeing, saying, "Alright, once I obtain the Heavenly Mechanism Inkstone, I will definitely keep it for you. At that time, please offer a higher bid."
"Good, then it's settled! Now, let me embarrass myself and boldly say a few words," Elder Yi said.
"Please speak freely, Elder Yi," Yang Chen said respectfully.
"You are destined for greatness, possessing talents that ordinary people do not have. Moreover, your fate is unlike anyone in this world! The Azure Dragon has emerged, and the Zi Wei Star has descended. Countless stars come to pay homage. The Azure Dragon descends, and the Sinister Dragon rises from the abyss. It will cut through the heavens and shatter the earth; the Sinister Dragon will submit." Elder Yi looked around, fixed his gaze on the Three Great Legion Commanders, and continued, "The Double Literary Star has already descended, and a War Star has also arrived; how far can the other one be? Let me calculate."
After a moment, he said, "Oh? The War Star has encountered the dragon? Hehe, the timing for the War Star to follow is approaching." Elder Yi glanced again at Lu Ying, smiled slightly, and said, "The Seven Killers have descended, the Breakthrough Legion has arrived; how far can Tan Lang be? I just calculated that Tan Lang has also encountered the dragon. When the time comes, he will naturally follow."
"The War God has also descended?"
"…This is serious; what kind of calamity is this? Four Generals descending to assist the Emperor in defeating enemies? The heavens are about to be thrown into chaos?"
"Are the Seven Killers, Breakthrough Legion, Tan Lang, Lu Cun, Giant Gate, Lian Zhen, Wenqu, War Star, and Drunken Sword Immortal all present? Phew!" In a hurry, Elder Yi spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and collapsed to the ground.
"Elder Yi."
"Elder Yi." Zhuque and Yang Chen called out in unison. The others were also puzzled as to why this old man was speaking so well but suddenly spat out blood.
"I'm fine; the heavenly secrets are in disarray. I can no longer calculate anything. Young brother, I apologize." Elder Yi said weakly.
"Elder Yi is serious." Yang Chen said respectfully.
"Young brother, the calamities of the future will be entrusted to you. Your arrival has caused turmoil in the Eastern landscape; I believe all of this is because of you, right? Hehe, this old man is getting old; the Demon God Continent will soon be handed over to you young people. Ha ha. Little Zhuque, let's go back." After some conversation, Elder Yi gradually recovered and smiled lightly.
"Little Zhuque, don't be reluctant; there will be opportunities for you to meet again in the future." Elder Yi stood up and pulled Zhuque along as he spoke. Then Yang Chen discovered that Xiao Tian, who was originally fully realized, now only had the strength of a Seven-Star Fighter while he himself miraculously also possessed the power of a Seven-Star Fighter! He looked up at the sky with deep concern and said, "The turmoil in the East will likely not leave the West in peace either."
