Chapter 1457 - 872: The Source of the Stirring
Chapter 1457: Chapter 872: The Source of the Stirring
The starry sky is vast and boundless.
Lu Qing’s Divine Thought Avatar quietly floated in the void.
He didn’t move, just stood there quietly, his brows slightly furrowed.
Not long ago, in his hometown world, a ripple of unease suddenly surged in his heart.
The unease came suddenly and left quickly, as if it were just an illusion.
But at his current realm, every moment of intuition must have its reason; it could never be aimless.
That ripple of unease felt like a prophetic warning from the Great Path, or as if something very important was happening, with some mysterious connection to him.
Lu Qing closed his eyes and carefully sensed it.
But that ripple of unease had already disappeared without a trace; no matter how he searched, he could no longer capture it.
"Interesting."
Lu Qing opened his eyes, a strange color flashing in them.
At his level, occurrences of intuition like this could never be without cause.
Since he sensed it, he must find out the root of it.
Without hesitation, he immediately raised his right hand, his five fingers gently opening.
In the palm of his hand, a hazy glow began to converge, transforming in the blink of an eye into an Illusion Realm Space about a foot wide.
In that space, the star river spun, countless points of light flickering in and out—it was precisely the means he used for astral divination.
Lu Qing concentrated, calming his heart, and began to deduce the source of that ripple of unease.
The Illusion Realm Space rapidly operated, the star river circulating, and countless scenes flickering within the space.
Those scenes showed mountains, rivers, cities, sects, cultivators engaging in battles, mortals farming, moving so fast it was dazzling.
However, after deducing for a moment, Lu Qing’s frown deepened.
The source of that ripple of unease could not be calculated.
The Illusion Realm Space was shrouded in a thick mist.
The mist was layered and dense, obscuring everything; no matter how hard he tried, he could not penetrate it.
"Someone used an Exotic Treasure to hide the Heavenly Mechanism?"
Lu Qing murmured softly to himself.
He did not believe anyone could block his Inference Skill with mere Taoist Skills.
It must be known that he now had profound insights into the Path of Deduction, reaching an extremely advanced level in the Calculation Skill.
Although he had not yet comprehended the Way of Cause and Effect, in the realm of deduction, looking across the entire starry sky, there were few who could surpass him.
But now, he was surprisingly unable to deduce the source of that ripple of unease.
What does this indicate?
It indicates that the person hiding the Heavenly Mechanism has a high cultivation and also possesses an Exotic Treasure capable of shielding the Heavenly Mechanism, making it impossible for even him to calculate clearly.
"Quite interesting."
Lu Qing was not deterred; rather, his interest was piqued.
He took a deep breath, and exhaled a mouthful of Primordial Qi into the Illusion Realm Space.
This Primordial Qi contained a sliver of his Origin Power, and with the support of the Origin Power, the power of his deduction would be greatly enhanced, though it would also exhaust a significant amount of his Primordial Qi.
Of course, given Lu Qing’s realm, this level of consumption was inconsequential, as he could recover within moments.
The moment the Primordial Qi entered the Illusion Realm Space, the space shook violently, then began to operate rapidly.
The rotation speed of the star river increased tenfold, with countless points of light almost connecting into one, causing the entire Illusion Realm Space to tremble slightly.
Time passed rapidly, and soon more than ten breaths had passed.
Finally, the mist in the Illusion Realm Space began to gradually dissipate, and a blurry image emerged.
It was a Taoist temple.
A black and white Taoist temple.
The temple floated in the void, one half black as ink, the other white as snow, black and white distinct yet intertwined, forming a massive Taiji symbol.
Around the temple, countless runes flickered, exuding a strange and mysterious aura.
Lu Qing’s pupils slightly contracted.
The Black and White Temple, it turned out to be the Black and White Temple.
The source of his inner unease was actually related to this Demon Path force.
He wanted to continue deducing to see inside the temple, but at this moment, an invisible force surged from the temple, isolating his Power of Deduction.
That force was strange and mighty, like an indestructible barrier, blocking him outside.
Lu Qing tried several times but could not break through.
He no longer forced it and withdrew the Illusion Realm Space.
Although he hadn’t fully deduced everything, knowing the source was enough.
"The Black and White Temple..."
Lu Qing murmured to himself, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.
He had long felt that this force was not simple.
Back when he was in the Heavenly Origin Great World, the Black and White Temple sent three Unity Realm Stage old demons’ Divine Thought Avatars to assassinate him.
Although he slew them all, the Black and White Temple escalated, directly deploying six Unity Realm Stage old demons in their true bodies to ambush him.
They even brought a Harmonization Level Array Map, showing their determination.
Though he successfully crossed the tribulation and achieved Unity, slaying those old demons, he never underestimated this mysterious Demon Path force.
Moreover, that white-haired elder Qiu Ruofeng from the Netherworld Palace also seemed to dread the Black and White Temple immensely.
When Qiu Ruofeng appeared and mentioned the Black and White Temple, there was always an undertone of deep apprehension in his words.
This also made Lu Qing feel that this Demon Path force wasn’t as simple as it appeared.
Coupled with the momentary unease he just felt, it seemed that the Black and White Temple indeed had some covert matters.
"Not attacking directly at the time seems now to be the right choice."
Lu Qing understood in his heart.
When he had just broken through to the Unity Realm, although he had killed six Unity Realm old demons, he always remained vigilant against the Black and White Temple force.
