When Chen Guan left the Lotus Temple, he was still contemplating the words spoken to him by the Lotus Temple Master.
Those four sentences were not uttered by the Lotus Temple Master, nor were they rumors fabricated by the Ten Great Families for their own benefit.
They were deductions made by the Lotus Temple Master through his Talent, providing hints about what might happen in the future.
In the past, these future hints concluded by the Lotus Temple Master had all co true, without exception.
However, sotis the manner in which they were fulfilled could differ from what people imagined.
For instance, the Lotus Temple Master once received a future hint "Hurricane strikes East City," which didn't an a literal hurricane, but actually referred to a band of thieves nad Hurricane intending to sack the city.
Therefore, deciphering these future hints requires relying on the Lotus Temple Master's personal knowledge and experience, as well as his logical judgnt.
Of course, besides that, there are also so guidelines for interpreting future hints, and most interpretations within these guidelines are not too far off the mark.
The Ten Celestial Kings believe in the Ghost Daoist mainly because of his Lifebound Talent Ability.
However, they have their own interpretations of what these future hints an and do not necessarily take the Ghost Daoist's words at face value.
Now, most of the Ten Celestial Kings believe that the Demon Child poses a future threat to them and have not heeded the Ghost Daoist's explanation.
Thus, the Ghost Daoist sought out the Demon Child himself, intending to nurture him according to his own ideas.
The reason he confided in Chen Guan is that Chen Guan played a significant role in the Demon Child's descent, being the cause of it.
There can be no effect without a cause, and if the Ten Celestial Kings were to pursue this matter, Chen Guan would find it hard to escape bla.
Therefore, the Lotus Temple Master needed Chen Guan to help cover up the Demon Child's descent, to give him enough ti to grow.
This was for the Demon Child's good, as well as for Chen Guan's benefits.
Chen Guan was naturally very willing to cooperate, as long as it didn't cause him trouble, he was willing to go along with anything.
As for which interpretation of the four sentences was correct, Chen Guan did not care.
Because the Lotus Temple Master's Talent was a product of his own innate rules.
Other people's rules had nothing to do with Chen Guan, and he didn't need to bother with them.
After breaking through the Buddha shell ford by his heart's flas, Chen Guan had already achieved ntal clarity; he had his own rules and his own laws, unfazed by others' concerns.
At this mont, Chen Guan had already t the conditions for Enlightennt.
In the case of others, when breaking through the Buddha shell ford by inner heart flas, they would have already reached Enlightennt.
But Chen Guan's insight was different; it wasn't a product of sudden enlightennt, but of absolute control and understanding of his own awakening.
"It doesn't matter whether I am a god, immortal, saint, or Buddha; my rules are determined by ." Hence, when Chen Guan didn't want to attain Enlightennt, he didn't have to; when he wanted to, nobody could stop him.
The reason he didn't choose to attain Enlightennt now was because he hadn't completed his previous tasks, he hadn't yet vented Ji Nanhong's anger or completely driven the Celestial Court Army out of the Celestial Pillar Grotto Heaven.
However, that day shouldn't be far off. With Luo Yuanfei's death, the next in line would likely bring the Celestial Court Army's forces marching in, and the only person who could lead them would be Xiu Jie Ming.
The only person qualified to command the Twenty-four Corps within the Grotto Heaven was the eldest son of the Xiu Family.
"The battle with Xiu Jie Ming is inevitable." Chen Guan felt a bit of anticipation; how strong had Xiu Jie Ming beco by now?
When Chen Guan returned to the Southern Heavenly Kingdom, he found it even more bustling, with more people present than before.
"Chen Guan, I am here to assist you." Duan Shulin ran over, followed by the youthful-looking Duan Hualong.
"Did your elders allow you to co?" Chen Guan asked.
"Without their permission, I couldn't have left ho." Duan Shulin smiled wryly, "Let's not talk about these frustrating matters. Whatever you need, just say the word. Various Secret Techniques, Secret Skills, pets, and so on, our Duan Family will give you a seventy-percent discount on the internal price, basically equivalent to half-price for you. This ti our Duan Family has decided to support you fully, so just go all out. If necessary, you can even put it on account with no limit."
Chen Guan understood the weight of Duan Shulin's words, knowing that the Duan Family was indeed placing a significant bet on him this ti.
Yet, it wasn't just a bet on him personally because they weren't just betting on Chen Guan alone.
The struggle in the Southern Heavenly Kingdom has now escalated beyond a re fight between Chen Guan and the Celestial Court Army.
The Ten Great Families wanted to use this battle to send a ssage to the Ancestral Court, to the Chief Judge, to the Celestial Court Army, letting them know who the real rulers of the Divine Land were.
So the bet placed by the Duan Family was not only on Chen Guan; it was on the side of the Ten Great Families.
Moreover, all the Ten Great Families had sent people over, with even the Shang Family and the Gong Family dispatching representatives.
Among them were many young individuals from the Ten Great Families who were acquainted with Chen Guan, such as Shang Ziyi from the Shang Family and Gu Shan and Purple Robe from the line of King of Du.
Certainly, Gu Shan and Purple Robe weren't actually young.
There were also so people Chen Guan knew who didn't know him in return.
For instance, Gong Mingwang of the Gong Family recognized by Chen Guan, although Gong didn't know Chen Guan.
Besides the people from the Ten Great Families, many forces affiliated with the Ten Great Families had also sent individuals over.
For a mont, the Southern Heavenly Kingdom truly beca a gathering place for heroes, bustling once more.
Huang Tianming didn't know whether to be delighted or worried. His title as the Lord of the Southern Heavenly Kingdom, Nanhong the Southern Overlord, had truly beco infamous in the Divine Land, known to everyone.
But he was well aware that the current state of affairs had nothing to do with him; he was rely a pawn in the conflict between the Ten Great Families and the Ancestral Court.
Huang Tianming sotis felt lost, unsure of the future path he should take, and even if they defeated the Celestial Court Army, would he still be able to hold onto the Southern Heavenly Kingdom?
"State Preceptor, will the Southern Heavenly Kingdom bear the surna Huang in the future?" Huang Tianming didn't know to whom he should reveal his thoughts, so he could only ask Chen Guan.
"Of course. In the future, not only will the Southern Heavenly Kingdom bear the surna Huang, but at least half of the Celestial Pillar Grotto Heaven will also bear the na Huang." Chen Guan smiled.
"Do you an I can share the interests of the Celestial Pillar Grotto Heaven with the Qin Family?" Huang Tianming's eyes widened with surprise, feeling elated yet sowhat incredulous.
"That depends on your perspective," Chen Guan naturally knew that Huang Tianming alone couldn't support the Southern Heavenly Kingdom or realistically share the Celestial Pillar Grotto Heaven with the Qin Family.
But if Huang Tianming only wanted a reputation and a share of the benefits, then Chen Guan could help him take over the resources originally belonging to the Celestial Court Army.
Of course, the prerequisite was that Huang Tianming must allot a significant portion of these resources to him; otherwise, why would he put so much effort into helping Huang Tianming?
After expelling the Celestial Court Army from the Celestial Pillar Grotto Heaven, he could easily collaborate with the Qin Family, passively reaping profits.
However, Chen Guan also wanted to leave so industries for himself within the Grotto Heaven, which is why he considered collaborating with Huang Tianming.
After expressing his standpoint, Huang Tianming considered it for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "As long as I remain the Lord of the Southern Heavenly Kingdom, everything else is negotiable."
