"Is... Is this the Heavenly Mechanism Tower?"
Yang Qiu was deeply shaken.
He couldn't understand how the Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower knew his most secret matters. The only possible explanation was that the person could deduce the heavenly secrets; there was no other possibility.
"Senior, does this mean... you can help me remove my heart demon?" Yang Qiu asked in a low voice.
As long as his heart demon could be removed, even if he couldn't become a Saint, he would still be content. At least he would make progress, and who knows? If his luck turned around, perhaps he might accidentally become a Saint!
"Heart demon, what's there to be concerned about?"
Li Yun scoffed with disdain. "It's just becoming a Saint. There are many ways to achieve that, but the question is whether you can pay the corresponding price!"
"As long as Senior shows me the way, I am willing to give everything I have!" Yang Qiu said firmly.
Although he was ruthless and cruel, his thirst for power was genuine. Everything he did was to advance further in his own cultivation.
"Good, very good."
Li Yun smiled slightly, then spoke to himself in his mind: "System, check where in this world there are opportunities to help someone remove their heart demon and reach the Saint realm."
[Ding!]
[After querying the system, there are 183 opportunities that fit the host's criteria.]
[Undying Island: Requires 8 million Heavenly Mechanism Points to reveal the exact location.]
[Back Mountain of the Ziwei Sacred Land: Requires 5 million Heavenly Mechanism Points to reveal the exact location. (Includes: Ziwei Formation Decryption Method.)]
[Tomb of the Ten Thousand Extinction Emperor: Requires 4 million Heavenly Mechanism Points to reveal the exact location.]
...
[Ancient Saint's Tomb of Falling Cloud: Requires 80,000 Heavenly Mechanism Points to reveal the exact location.]
[Greenwater Cliff: Requires 30,000 Heavenly Mechanism Points to reveal the exact location.]
...
After scanning through the prices, Li Yun's mouth twitched. Some of these opportunities were known to the world, while others had not yet appeared. If he could obtain all of them, he would be starting at the Emperor level.
But such a possibility was extremely low.
Some things couldn't be obtained without a certain level of strength. For example, the back mountain of the Ziwei Sacred Land.
Everyone knew about it, but few dared to go there. It was a sacred place, and anyone who ventured there would die!
Some of these opportunities hadn't yet come to fruition and were likely waiting for the destined individual. If the wrong person opened them at the wrong time, the backlash would be catastrophic—just the thought of it made one feel a chill.
Now, these secrets would all be spilled from his lips one by one. He could already imagine being struck by lightning the next time he stepped outside.
At this thought, Li Yun turned to look at Yang Qiu, a knowing smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
If he didn't take advantage of this fat sheep, could he really live with himself? He would bear the heavenly punishment, but the benefits would go to Yang Qiu. There was no such good deal in the world!
"Senior?"
Yang Qiu, feeling a chill run down his spine, nervously called out.
The same sense of danger he had felt earlier resurfaced. He wondered if the Senior was already planning to kill him. But... he hadn't done anything wrong! If he died, wouldn't it be a huge injustice?
"Hmm... Ahem."
Li Yun snapped back to his senses, lightly coughing. He glanced deeply at Yang Qiu before speaking, "If it were anywhere else, wanting to remove a heart demon and become a Saint would be as hard as reaching the heavens."
Yang Qiu nodded, a bitter look crossing his face.
He understood this all too well. If there was a way, he would have become a Saint long ago with the Nine Nether Demon Sect's support. There was no need to wait until now.
"But here at the Heavenly Mechanism Tower, it's as easy as turning your hand."
Li Yun smiled.
"Please, Senior, teach me!"
Yang Qiu's face lit up with joy, and he quickly bowed in respect.
"Hmm?"
Li Yun cast him a sideways glance, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest, creating a series of knocking sounds. He didn't speak, but his expression seemed to show a hint of amusement.
He shook his head slightly in his heart.
This Yang Qiu, though a Saint Lord-level figure, had always been the one people sought out to curry favor with. He had become so full of himself that even his basic perception was lacking. He was far behind even Liu Chengxue's younger generation.
He asked directly, "Do you think I can search the heavenly secrets for free?"
Every opportunity he just scanned was worth tens of thousands of points, and right now, Yang Qiu had nothing to offer but a measly zero in Heavenly Mechanism Points. How was Li Yun supposed to search for anything for him?
"It seems I was careless."
Yang Qiu let out a dry laugh. He took out a feather fan that shimmered with dazzling light, radiating a magnificent aura, with mysterious symbols surrounding it.
"This is a Heavenly Phenomenon-level spiritual treasure. It's a token of my respect. I hope Senior will accept it."
"Mm."
Li Yun nodded, taking the fan. At the same time, he consulted the system to attempt an exchange.
[Flowing Fire Storm Fan (Heavenly Phenomenon-level), can be exchanged for 1,500 Heavenly Mechanism Points.]
"Only 1,500 points?"
Li Yun frowned.
Just now, the opportunities he checked started at tens of thousands of points. This 1,500 points wouldn't even be enough to buy him a nibble.
Nearby, Yang Qiu saw Li Yun's expression and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly took out another item and handed it over.
"This is a treasure I've been refining for thousands of years. The Soul Binding Death Lock has immense power. If Senior likes it, I would like to offer it to you."
Li Yun received it without showing any emotion.
[Soul Binding Death Lock (Saint Lord-level), can be exchanged for 8,000 Heavenly Mechanism Points.]
This time, the Heavenly Mechanism Points were much higher, but still far from enough for any of the opportunities he was considering.
Li Yun cleared his throat and said casually, "Yang Daoist, you need to understand that the opportunities I am revealing to you are not only capable of helping you remove your heart demon, but they can also allow you to become a Saint!"
"Do you understand what it means to be a Saint?"
"Below the Saint, everyone is like an ant. That is what it means to be a Saint!"
"In the face of such opportunities, do you still care about these trinkets? Once you become a Saint, what could you not have?"
"If the information from the Heavenly Mechanism Tower proves to be wrong later, feel free to come back anytime, and I will return everything to you!"
