Chapter 282 Waiting for you to come back

Miracles require ten keys of destiny to unlock.

Is Que Yu trying to open the miracle at that legendary place where the true god has passed down his legacy, hoping to ascend to immortality by borrowing the power of the true god?

The fragments in his mind suddenly connected, no wonder he went to great lengths to help the ferocious beasts, risking their destruction to release them.

It was all to force Yun Fuzhao to cooperate with him. After all, she possessed four keys to destiny: one given to her by Ge Kui, one she tricked from Wen Yan, one she obtained from opening a gemstone, and one she had obtained from a small box she had tricked from Gongsun Le last time.

She alone has four, and if you add the ones Yu Ze and Qi Huai have, that makes six.

No wonder he had designs on himself.

Yun Fuzhao's mind raced; opening the miracle was extremely risky.

Given Que Yu's nature, even if they did open the miracle, he would snatch all the inheritance inside, leaving them only to watch helplessly.

Moreover, after he attains enlightenment and ascends to immortality, why would he care about their lives or deaths?

Que Yu seemed to see through her thoughts and slowly released her hand. "If you are willing to cooperate with me, I can swear an oath to the death. After opening the divine relic and obtaining the inheritance, I will reseal the four ferocious beasts."

Making a vow to die for someone, that's interesting.

He dared to say that, so it seems he had made ample preparations.

Que Yu continued, "If you don't cooperate, the four realms will be plunged into chaos within a month. As a friendly reminder, the four great ferocious beasts have basically been resurrected, and your still-immature dragons are simply no match for them."

"Do you think the four ferocious beasts will let you off so easily?"

Que Yu laughed, her eyes lowered, her face clearly saying, "How can you be so naive? Do you think I wouldn't leave myself a way out?"

"..."

Yes, he's such a cunning and shrewd old man.

Given the current situation, cooperating with him seems to be the best option for Yun Fuzhao.

"Activating the miracle requires ten Keys of Destiny. Are you so confident that you can gather ten Keys of Destiny in just a few days?"

"Of course, the ones you have, plus the ones I have, may amount to at least ten."

"Not necessarily. Why don't you tell us how many you have? If we don't have at least ten, it'll be a waste of our time going."

Que Yu: "Four bunches."

"..."

Yun Fuzhao felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason. How could the calculations be so precise, with no more and no less than the required amount?

"You stole the key to the Shangguan family's destiny?"

Que Yu chuckled ambiguously and said only three words: "It doesn't count as robbery."

The use of the word "not count" is quite ingenious.

The two looked at each other silently for a moment, and finally Yun Fuzhao spoke up: "I don't think I have a reason to refuse."

Que Yu's smile deepened. He took a step back, widening the distance between them. "How about we set off tomorrow?"

"can."

Every day that is delayed in the current situation increases the danger for everyone.

Once the deal was reached, Que Yu made a hand seal and left. As soon as he left, Yun Fuzhao's tense nerves finally relaxed.

She helped the pale-faced Que Chi up. "Did he set up such a huge scheme because he couldn't break through his cultivation level?"

Otherwise, Yun Fuzhao wouldn't have been able to think of any other reason.

If he had no problem with his cultivation, having reached the half-step ascension stage, would he not be focused on studying how to ascend to heaven, but would he have the mind to dabble in other things?

All that effort could only be because he couldn't ascend.

Que Chi nodded, "Most likely. His cultivation level hasn't changed for a long time."

She just said it.

But if that's truly his goal, then things become much simpler. Knowing the enemy's motives makes things much easier.

Moreover, Yun Fuzhao pondered that if she could truly attain enlightenment and ascend to immortality, she might be able to compete for it.

As for opportunities, whoever seizes them gets them.

[Yun Family Team 5, Ziqian: Although this move is somewhat risky, the method to seal the ferocious beast might really be within it.]

Even we are unclear about this so-called miracle. Whether it contains a method to seal the four ferocious beasts or an even greater danger is worth pondering.

[Yun Family Team 3, Hong Ziqing: No matter what it is, going there is the best choice.]

Yun Fuzhao nodded. [That's right.]

Now that it was settled, Yun Fuzhao sent a text message to Qi Huai and Yu Ze to inform them of the matter.

Qi Huai analyzed Que Yu's purpose one by one, suspecting that he might have ulterior motives, while Yu Ze simply told him to come along.

After rattling off a bunch of things, Qi Huai added: "Take me with you, so we can look out for each other."

Taking them along is definitely safer than Yun Fuzhao going alone with Que Yu.

She originally thought that Que Yu would not agree to this request, but to her surprise, he agreed very readily.

No matter how you look at it, they have more people. Isn't Que Yu afraid of capsizing?

However, she didn't have time to think about that. News came from her master that the number of ghost jackals was increasing and that their strength alone was insufficient to protect all the people.

Yun Fuzhao thought of the nameless families in the Northern Continent, perhaps they could help him.

As far as she knew, the situation in the Northern Continent was much better than in the Southern Continent, because the Ghost Jackals split much more slowly there due to the environment.

Without delay, Yun Fuzhao quickly spoke to them.

When disaster strikes, no one is in the mood for infighting; they only need to unite against external enemies.

After resolving these issues, Yun Fuzhao prepared overnight what he might need for the journey.

There isn't much information about miracles in the history of cultivation, not even their locations. Yun Fuzhao had no idea where Que Yu got the map from.

This made her wonder if it was some kind of trap.

In response, Que Yu stated: "I have explored this location one by one over the past few hundred years. The spiritual energy fluctuations here are abnormal. I cannot find the entrance, but even standing there, I can sense a vast and unknown mysterious power."

It turns out he couldn't break through a hundred years ago.

Indeed, achieving enlightenment and ascension also depends on luck. Some people can ascend to heaven in one step, while others cultivate diligently but never reach the final step.

"I'm leaving now, so I'm entrusting our sect to you."

Yun Fuzhao said to Que Chi, "The sect's protective formation can still hold for a while. If there are any signs of cracking," she took out a series of compressed formations, "you can use this as a temporary measure."

"it is good."

Que Chi took it, "Yun Fu Zhao..."

"how?"

Que Chi looked at her intently, "The risks of miracles are unknown. If anything seems amiss, you must leave immediately."

Yun Fuzhao was quite unaccustomed to his attitude. "You're suddenly so serious. It's not like you at all."

"...Don't make me angry."

"That's more like it."

Yun Fuzhao patted his shoulder, "Just watch. I will definitely seal the four ferocious beasts."

Que Yu's eyes churned with emotion. After a long pause, he spoke in a low voice, "Actually, I—"

Yun Fuzhao asked, somewhat puzzled, "Actually what?"

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he choked up and couldn't say them.

In the very end, he only said, "I'll tell you when you come back."
