990 Tower Of Reaching The Stars (2/2)

His question was brilliant. To the Priest of Destiny who believed that all things were predestined, it allowed him to show his ideas and path. If he had asked, ”Should I go?” or ”How to go?”, the Priest of Destiny would most probably answer, ”The outcome is predestined, why is there a need to fret over it?”

The Priest of Destiny was stunned before finally replying, ”Your destiny accords that you would choose the northeast. As for the detailed development and outcome, my level of cultivation is still too low to be able to see.”

After confirming the direction, Meng Qi walked quietly with the help of the strange induction. As the distance got closer, the echoing feeling gradually strengthened and was no longer like an illusion.

Suddenly, time and space slowed down as a Candle Dragon with the face of a human and the body of a snake came down from the sky above, heading toward where Meng Qi was.

Its gaze changed slightly as it sized up the surroundings. There seems to be something unfamiliar here?

Not far away was the familiar lake. Its water was clear and reflected its body ⁠— its snake body was red, its human face was filled with the vicissitudes of life and its eyes had heat and coldness alternating as they blinked.

Normal… this Candle Dragon had yet to open up its wisdom and hence had simple thinking. Seeing nothing strange, it swayed its tail and flew toward the west.

After it went far away, the lake suddenly splashed and out came another Candle Dragon!

So what the previous Candle Dragon saw earlier on wasn't its on reflection. Meng Qi had purposely simulated and made changes to the figures on the left and right in order to deceive!

”This primeval wilderness is really full of dangers…” Meng Qi exhaled slowly.

After going through a few situations with his brilliant and overpowering skills, Meng Qi finally arrived at the place of origin of the strange induction.

It was a tall tower, one which the top couldn't be seen. It penetrated the night sky, as though it could reach the stars.

The surroundings of the tall tower were people of Golden Turtle Island in Taoist robes and hats. They all had a majestic disposition, and there was even one who was a divine immortal who had attained Dharmakaya.

Further away was a giant white pig chewing at the rare flowers and grass. It was yet another terrifying wild beast.

Meng Qi hid behind the deserted hills nearby, observing the situation in the tall tower as he felt the strange induction his body had with something in the tower.

What is hidden inside?

Suddenly, something struck him, and a premonition of danger emerged.

A ray of light cut through the sky and went straight toward the deserted hills, seeming to cross over this place to reach the Tower of Reaching the Stars.

Looking from this direction, the back of the hills is totally uncovered and could be easily discovered. If I transform and hide, it would attract the attention of the guards around the tower. Once discovered, I'll be besieged by immortals of all levels… Understanding the current circumstances, various situations Meng Qi had observed before came to his mind and he had a plan.

Turning into a mosquito, he flew over and slipped into the mouth of the giant white pig while it was chewing, and entered its stomach!

The surroundings were filled with acidic liquids. Meng Qi changed back to his own body which was a pale golden color and stayed still.

After Meng Qi flew out from the back of the deserted hills, the divine immortal guarding the tower seemed to have noticed something but only saw a wild beast eating greedily and his companion who had come to rotate duties.

After waiting for a while and making sure that the outside was quiet, Meng Qi was about to slip out when he suddenly realized that his hairy avatar was about to arrive at the Aquamarine Palace that was mentioned by the Golden Turtle Island's ambassador — the fake Aquamarine Palace!

Without knowing the island owner's ability, a conflict could easily arise if the avatar's genuinity is discovered. I've gotta put the things here on hold and deal with the Golden Turtle banquet first… Meng Qi was good at making decisions and sticking to them. He revolved the Wuji and Daoyi seals, and with the help of the karma link, switched his body and the avatar instantaneously.

The avatar entered the stomach of the giant white pig and was quickly digested.

….

At the place where the Night Emperor Huo Lishang left behind the shadow, the stone statue with the head of a bird and the body of a man suddenly came alive.

The stone statue twisted and wiggled, gradually turning into the appearance of the Night Emperor, and even its disposition was exactly the same!

...

Han Guang went far away and his back view disappeared in the night sky. The beastly Nine-infants that went passed him contracted its body and created a huge dense fog.

The dense fog gradually dissipated and another Han Guang walked out from it. This Han Guang also had six fingers on his left hand, and his eyes were looking deeply at the east direction.

...

The giant white pig didn't realize the change in its stomach. The main gate of the Tower of Reaching the Stars suddenly opened and a figure in green walked out. Handsome and with graying temples, it was yet another Meng Qi!

...

Hundreds of palace buildings appeared in front of Meng Qi, Mr Lu Da, etc. Led by the divine immortal ambassador, they cut through this magnificent area and arrived at a tall and majestic Taoist palace. It had a horizontal inscribed board with the words Aquamarine Palace written in ancient seal characters.

Ancient seal characters? This is an insult to the Aquamarine Palace... Meng Qi secretly laughed at the inferiority of the counterfeit, not realizing his own Jade Mirage Palace was a worse knockoff.

The moment he stepped into the Aquamarine Palace, Meng Qi's eyes suddenly lit up seeing a great beauty whom he found difficult to describe.

Her beauty was different from that of Gu Xiaosang, Jiang Zhiwei, Ruan Yushu, etc., having her own characteristics and extremely charming. At her pinnacle of life, she gave off the most dazzling brilliance, making the Night Emperor eyes glow and unable to take them off her, as though he had admired the greatest beauty.

This woman was sitting high on the main seat. She had an almond-shaped face and pink cheeks, her soft watery eyes were exuding tenderness and love as though countless words were hidden in them. Her charm was like a real ray of light, illuminating the entire main hall.

Seeing Meng Qi and company entering, she gave a pleasant smile like a fairy walking down the Jade Pool. With a saccharine voice, she said coyly, ”Greetings to all the Dharmakayas here, my name is Su Daji.”
