“Just as I expected?”
Beichen Heng's eyes gleamed as he murmured to himself.
“What did Your Highness say?” The Lord of Great Wasteland City asked in confusion.
“Nothing.”
Beichen Heng smiled lightly and said, “The Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master, who can casually take out a Saint-level... no, a Saint Lord-level formation, must not be an ordinary person. I wonder if the Lord of Great Wasteland City can make an introduction for me?”
“This...”
The Lord of Great Wasteland City hesitated slightly.
“Is there some difficulty?”
Beichen Heng smiled knowingly.
“Not really...”
The Lord of Great Wasteland City sighed helplessly and said, “But Your Highness, perhaps you have overestimated me. The Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master is such a person that even the Da Luo Sect Master must show respect before him and would never dare to act with any arrogance.”
“As for me, I'm just a mere city lord, truly unqualified to make an introduction to someone of his stature.”
“Mm?”
Beichen Heng's heart stirred, and he asked further, “You said, even Ren Qingtu must show respect before the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master?”
“Yes!”
The Lord of Great Wasteland City nodded firmly and said, “Not only the Da Luo Sect Master, but even a major figure from the Demon Path, a Saint Lord-level expert, also did the same. This person still had to show deference before the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master!”
“A major figure from the Demon Path?”
Beichen Heng's eyes narrowed. He exchanged a glance with General Chen before asking, “Was it Yang Qiu?”
“Well... I'm not sure about that. Who is Yang Qiu?”
The Lord of Great Wasteland City was completely puzzled.
Yang Qiu was a powerful figure, having served as an elder in the Nine Nether Demon Sect, but his fame was somewhat less than that of the Da Luo Sect Master. More importantly...
People from the Demon Path were not as public about their activities as those from the Righteous Path.
Thus, someone like the Lord of Great Wasteland City, at the lower levels of the cultivation world, had never heard of Yang Qiu.
“Nothing, just a Demon Path person.”
Beichen Heng casually said.
Though he was a prince, and Yang Qiu and Ren Qingtu were of the same generation, there was little respect in his tone—more like acknowledgment.
“Do you know when Ren Qingtu and that... Demon Path expert arrived in Great Wasteland City, and when they went to the Heavenly Mechanism Tower?”
Beichen Heng asked, his tone growing more serious.
“Your Highness has asked the right person.”
The Lord of Great Wasteland City smiled with confidence, as if he had been expecting this question. He spoke clearly, “It was around seven days ago. The Demon Path expert came first...
When he arrived, he was filled with rage, looking like he was about to eat someone alive. But after visiting the Heavenly Mechanism Tower, when he came out, his demeanor had changed, and he seemed unwilling to leave. Shortly afterward, he departed.”
“From the direction he left, it seemed like he was heading toward the Hundred Breaking Mountains.”
“Three days later, Sect Master Ren came. He didn't stay long, and left just as quickly. But his speed was so fast that I didn't get a clear look at where he went.”
“I only know...”
“Only know that Ren Qingtu became a Saint at the Hundred Breaking Mountains?” Beichen Heng interrupted with a faint smile.
“Yes.”
The Lord of Great Wasteland City nodded.
The news of Ren Qingtu becoming a Saint had already spread throughout Great Wasteland City over the past three days. It had become a topic of conversation among wandering cultivators.
Every time someone brought it up, they would talk for a while.
After all, it was the kind of thing that seemed too fantastical to be true—a miraculous opportunity that allowed someone to rise swiftly, like a protagonist in a martial arts story who survives a fatal fall and then soars to greatness.
“Just as I expected.”
Beichen Heng smiled bry.
The Saint-making opportunity in the Hundred Breaking Mountains really had been leaked by the Heavenly Mechanism Tower.
He turned his gaze toward the Hundred Breaking Mountains, and his smile grew even wider. The five Saints had fought and killed each other over that opportunity, not realizing that the biggest opportunity had already slipped past them!
To Beichen Heng, the real opportunity didn't lie in the Hundred Breaking Mountains, but in Great Wasteland City!
Or rather...
In the Heavenly Mechanism Tower itself!
To be able to casually reveal an opportunity that could allow someone to become a Saint, what kind of person was the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master?
Beichen Heng felt a surge of excitement.
Could someone like that break the chains that bound him?
If so, perhaps he wouldn't have to die in the future!
“Your Highness, the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master is definitely not an ordinary person. He might even be... a Saint!”
At this moment, General Chen stepped forward and transmitted a message to Beichen Heng.
He had already gathered some information and, when combined with the Lord of Great Wasteland City's words, it became clear to him.
The Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master was a deeply hidden expert!
“Perhaps not just a Saint.”
Beichen Heng replied calmly.
The Tianyin Empire had its own Saints—he had met a few himself—but those Saints lacked the ability to casually offer someone a chance to become a Saint.
After all, even if a wandering cultivator found such an opportunity, they would want to claim it for themselves, not give it away to others.
To treat such a Saint-making opportunity as trivial, the person must be at least a Great Sage, or even a Pre-Emperor.
Maybe even an Emperor!
“This small Great Wasteland City, who would have thought it hides such a true dragon!”
General Chen muttered to himself.
“Are you insulting that elder?”
Beichen Heng's voice turned cold.
In this world, there really were dragon races, but they were only one of many races. If you compared the strength of the dragon race to that of the human race, the dragons were not superior.
To liken an elder to a true dragon was inappropriate.
“My apologies, Your Highness.”
General Chen immediately corrected himself.
He realized that the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master was so powerful that he might already be watching their every move. If the elder heard his words and grew displeased, it could very well lead to his immediate death.
“Slap yourself!”
Beichen Heng said flatly.
General Chen, understanding the gravity of the situation, immediately raised his hand and slapped his face, making a crisp sound.
He knew that Beichen Heng was trying to save him.
To discuss such an elder in front of him was one thing, but to do so under the elder's watchful eyes was like seeking death.
“I hope this will clear up any misunderstanding,” General Chen thought as he silently prayed.
“Please, Lord of Great Wasteland City, lead the way. I, Beichen Heng, wish to meet the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master today.”
Beichen Heng turned his attention back to the Lord of Great Wasteland City.
“Oh... Yes, yes, of course.”
The Lord of Great Wasteland City quickly snapped out of his daze and eagerly led the way ahead.
As the two departed, only General Chen was left standing there.
He clenched his teeth and slapped his face again, making another sharp crack.
He understood why His Highness had made him do this.
This was the only way to avoid provoking the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master.
