I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1333: Chapter 515: The Tribulation of the Pill Embryo! Great Demon Invasion! (3)

"Tch, the older this person gets, the more finicky he becomes."

"The first lesson in practicing divination is to assess the situation, pursue good fortune, and avoid calamity. By rights, the Astronomical Observatory shouldn’t meddle in such major causes and effects, but I don’t have many friends to begin with. If you truly died, I’m afraid no one would drink with this old man anymore..."

Qi Chengze remained silent for a long time, sighed, and murmured to himself: "Enough, it’s rare to find a true confidant in life. I’ve been behaving myself for most of my life, so what harm would there be in being rash just this once?"

With that, he stomped his foot forcefully, and the Observatory began to tremble violently. The array lit up layer by layer, from the first layer straight to the fifty-ninth.

"What’s going on?"

"Someone activated the Heavenly Observation Mirror?!"

Shouts of alarm rang out from below; the grand array, which would only be activated on the day of the festival, suddenly began to operate, naturally causing quite a stir. Clamorous footsteps rushed towards the top layer.

Qi Chengze waved his hand to lock the door and continued to activate the array.

The immense Qi Flow poured into the Heavenly Observation Mirror, and the black lacquer on the mirror surface began to peel off continually, revealing a silvery bright surface like a myriad of stars flickering unpredictably.

"Beidou is the pivot, Nandou is the handle."

"Stars of the Cycle, heed my command—"

Qi Chengze clasped his hands together and suddenly waved, "Fix!"

Boom—

The flowing starlight converged into a colossal beam of light, passing through half of Tiandu City, like a bridge spanning the sky, straight through the mass of dark clouds.

Without any intense noise, the vortex of dark clouds disintegrated and scattered, and the brewing Tribulation Thunder quietly disappeared.

Heaven and earth returned to clarity.

The pill embryo also completely formed at this moment.

"Great!"

"Finally... finally succeeded!"

The Pill Masters collapsed on the ground; these days, they took turns replacing each other, each person squeezed to their limit, without even the energy to move a finger.

But fortunately, their efforts were not in vain, finally clearing the clouds to see the sun, seeing the hope of success!

Ling Yishan turned his head towards the direction of the Observatory, with a complex look in his eyes.

Arbitrarily using the nation’s crucial instrument is an act of deceiving the monarch; if truly pursued, Qi Chengze, the Director, would undoubtedly be unable to maintain his position.

"This old fellow..."

...

...

"Whew..."

At the Observatory, Qi Chengze’s chest heaved as he panted rapidly, his sweat-soaked robe clinging tightly to his body.

He himself was not Ultimate Venerable; forcibly activating the Heavenly Observation Mirror consumed him greatly, but its potency was equally astonishing.

The Heavenly Observation Mirror claims to be a realm, whose induced external Law can disregard the constraints of heaven and earth, not only spying on Heavenly Secret but also blocking the will of the heavens, now seeming to exceed expectations in effect!

As for the consequences arising from this...

Having done this, he naturally was mentally prepared long ago.

"Having been in the Astronomical Observatory for so many years, appearing as a dignified Director on the surface, actually doing the work of glossing over the peace, I have grown somewhat tired of it..."

"Exchanging a mere official position for a clear mind, isn’t too bad."

Bang bang bang—

Loud knocking sounded, accompanied by the adjutant’s calls from outside the door.

"Director, are you in there?"

"What on earth is happening?!"

"No need to worry, this is the old man’s doing alone, it’s unrelated to you all." Qi Chengze shouted loudly, his smile extraordinarily carefree.

Just as he was ready to shut down the array and leave briskly, awaiting the Emperor’s censure, he suddenly found the array out of control.

"Hmm?"

Before he could regain his composure, he saw the Observatory ablaze with light, the sound of tense bowstrings reaching his ears, a sound he was more familiar with than anyone—it’s the Demon Extermination Crossbow used to combat the Demon Clan!

Its sudden activation indicated a Great Demon had entered the city!

A sinister killing intent emerged, locking onto a location, precisely at the Capital Camp’s training ground in the northern suburbs!

Qi Chengze’s complexion suddenly changed, "Not good!"
