What Does It Mean to Have One's Wishes Fulfilled

"There is one more thing. I sensed the aura of the Fire of the Epoch on you. It seems you have already obtained this item," Mu Yuhan said lightly.

Gu Qingfeng nodded calmly, but he was very surprised inwardly. The Fire of the Epoch had long been swallowed into his body, yet Mu Yuhan was certain he had it on him.

How did this beautiful female Sword Immortal perceive it?

She probably didn't just perceive it, because if this woman truly had such powerful insight, she would have seen through his disguise long ago.

But she hadn't seen through it, which proved one thing: the other party definitely had a method to sense the Fire of the Epoch.

However, a divine artifact of the ages like the Fire of the Epoch had always been sealed within the bronze pagoda. According to the Scruffy Old Daoist, no one had ever come into contact with it.

The only person who could have contacted the Fire of the Epoch was the so-called mastermind behind the scenes!

Because it was the mastermind who placed the Fire of the Epoch into the bronze pagoda.

What did this mean?

It meant that Mu Yuhan was either the mastermind herself, or she was connected to the mastermind.

Gu Qingfeng guessed it was the latter. Although Mu Yuhan was very strong, he felt she wasn't strong enough to set up such a massive scheme. He believed that anyone capable of laying out a chessboard spanning the ages had to be at least a true Immortal Lord!

A half-step Immortal Lord could only barely survive the Epoch Tribulation; how could they have the ability to jump around and lay out schemes everywhere?

Therefore, it could only be a true Immortal Lord!

Mu Yuhan did not know that with just a single sentence, Gu Qingfeng had deduced her close relationship with the mastermind.

Demons were adept at seeing through the human heart.

Just as Gu Qingfeng was about to take out the Fire of the Epoch and explain how he obtained it, Mu Yuhan stopped him.

Mu Yuhan didn't seem to care about these minor details. She only cared about two things: destiny and the Fire of the Epoch. As long as both were present, nothing else mattered.

Afterwards, she chatted casually for a bit, incidentally pointing out some things to pay attention to in the Immortal King realm, and then sent Gu Qingfeng away.

Not long after Gu Qingfeng left, a completely pitch-black crow suddenly flew out from the woods. This crow was no different from an ordinary crow; if one had to point out a difference, it was probably that its feathers were blacker and shinier.

The Black Crow landed on the stone table in front of the bamboo house, quietly watching Mu Yuhan.

Suddenly, the Black Crow actually spoke in a human language.

"Ye Chu's competition for the position of Sect Master this time absolutely cannot fail."

Mu Yuhan nodded. "I will keep an eye on it in secret. With his destiny, as long as he wants to be the Sect Master, he will definitely succeed."

"Mm, you should also make early preparations for the matter of dual cultivation," the Black Crow said lightly.

Mu Yuhan looked indifferent and did not speak.

The Black Crow was immediately displeased. "What? Do you feel that it goes against common sense between master and disciple?

Mu Yuhan, to think you have lived for two epochs, how can you not even see clearly through such a small matter? Do you want to be trapped in this cage for all eternity?"

Mu Yuhan remained expressionless. "I know."

The Black Crow then nodded in satisfaction. "It is good that you know the severity of the matter. For the eternal scheme, the crucial point is only missing your step. That Ye Chu is the Child of Destiny, and you are the True Maiden of Destiny. When the time comes for the two of you to mate, I will use a secret technique to let your offspring inherit both great destinies.

It will definitely be the number one destiny of all ages! Born adhering to the mandate of heaven.

At that time, when the Eternal Epoch is opened, that Lord will be able to return from the river of time, be reborn in your offspring, and with the help of monstrous destiny, reach the highest peak and lead us to break this cage!"

Speaking up to here, a touch of fanaticism appeared in the Black Crow's tone.

"And all you have to sacrifice is merely a pure body. If you feel unclean, you can simply forge a new body in the future.

Moreover, as the initiator of the Eternal Epoch, Ye Chu will inevitably be torn to pieces by the overlapping power of the Eternal Epoch when the time comes.

After he dies, as long as no one speaks of it, won't you be pure and innocent once again?"

Mu Yuhan did not continue this topic, but asked, "Why must Ye Chu become the Sect Master of the Heaven Severing Sect?"

"Naturally, it is to borrow the destiny of the Heaven Severing Sect! The Heaven Severing Sect has been passed down for several epochs. Even though it is destroyed by the Epoch Tribulation every time, it is rebuilt in every epoch. This destiny is incredibly heavy.

To ensure nothing goes wrong, Ye Chu must become the Sect Master. After bearing the destiny of the Heaven Severing Sect, the two of you will then mate..."

"Enough!" Mu Yuhan interrupted directly. It was obvious she really didn't want to hear those two words.

"Everything will proceed according to plan. I am going into seclusion."

After saying that, Mu Yuhan completely ignored the Black Crow and returned to the bamboo house on her own.

The Black Crow watched her figure leave, stood in place for a long time, and then slowly flew away, disappearing into the bamboo forest.

Meanwhile.

In the cave dwelling of the Heaven Severing Dao Child, Ye Chu.

A wicked and charming smile appeared on the corner of Gu Qingfeng's mouth, and a magnificent black lotus was quietly floating in his palm.

Rolling tribulations gathered into the black lotus from all directions.

Suddenly, he clenched his palm, and the black lotus disappeared instantly.

"A bit interesting. This Emperor finally understands what it means to have one's wishes come true."

Coming to the Heaven Severing Sect, he was handed the position of Sect Master and a beautiful master. Other than the Child of Destiny, where else could anyone enjoy such a wonderful thing?

It turned out that Gu Qingfeng had already left behind a method in that bamboo forest. With the help of the boundless tribulations between heaven and earth, he eavesdropped on the conversation between Mu Yuhan and the Black Crow.

He hadn't left his method on Mu Yuhan because it was too risky.

After all, she was an expert who had survived from the previous epoch and was connected to the mastermind. He couldn't easily alert the snake by beating the grass.

Now he roughly understood the mastermind's plan. Although he didn't know who that person was, the other party's goal was clearly to open the Eternal Epoch and be reborn using the destiny of Ye Chu and Mu Yuhan.

As for breaking the cage of this world, there was too little information to know for sure.

However, Gu Qingfeng couldn't be bothered to know the detailed plan. He just wanted to hurry up and become the Sect Master.

Not for mating... but to open the Eternal Epoch as soon as possible.

After all, listening to the meaning of that Black Crow, the first step was to become the Sect Master. The second step was uninteresting and could be ignored. Only after completing the first two steps could the Eternal Epoch be opened.

"Someone come!"

Gu Qingfeng called out, and immediately an old man who looked like a servant walked in from outside the cave dwelling.

"Lord Dao Child, what are your orders?" the old man asked respectfully.

"Go inquire about when the Sect Master goes into seclusion, and whether it has been announced when the new Sect Master will be selected. Pay close attention and report back at any time."

"Yes, Lord Dao Child." After receiving the order, the old man bowed and went out.

As a Dao Child, how could he not have a few servants to order around?

The only pity was that the subordinates of the Heaven Severing Dao Child were actually all men.

This was Mu Yuhan's arrangement. She intentionally prevented Ye Chu from coming into contact with other women to prevent him from losing his virginity.

As everyone knows, women who are involved with the protagonist basically won't die, and their luck is quite good, able to improve along with the protagonist's cultivation base.

This was obviously due to the protection of destiny.

Precisely because of this, in order to protect Ye Chu's destiny, Mu Yuhan simply did not allow him to have female followers.
