“The flas of karma are everywhere, and the sins are soaring into the sky. This is a very ominous on. In the past, it would surely signify the arrival of a disaster star, one that disrupts the world.”
“Now, the demon court’s offensive has not diminished at all; the murderous aura is overwhelming, engulfing the boundless territory. I fear it will impact the king’s birthday.”
On a high tower in Xian Chu, an old man with white brows, clad in a Daoist robe adorned with stars, held a compass and gazed at the night sky, a deep sigh escaping his lips.
Below him, many figures stood in various positions, aligned with a certain number of days, faint brilliance flowing between them as if converging into a river of fate that shimred with nothingness.
“I wonder what the Star King can discern from this?” At that mont, hearing the white-browed old man’s words, the figures couldn’t help but inquire.
The white-browed old man was none other than the esteed white-browed Star King of Xian Chu, a highly respected figure. Many years ago, he had already attained the Dao realm, and his strength was unfathomable. In daily matters, even Chu Gucheng held him in high regard.
“It seems that my doom has co.” Upon hearing this, Star King Bai i rely shook his head and sighed. He then turned to the people below and inquired, “Is there any news regarding the mysterious man in white that you are investigating?”
“Reporting to the Star King, there is no news. After his brief appearance in the Southern Wilderness Ancient Domain, that individual vanished. Mr. Gu, who seems to have the ancestral Dao realm around him, took action to conceal all secrets about him,” one of the individuals below replied respectfully.
Star King Bai i was not surprised; despite all his efforts, he couldn’t uncover anything. However, he found Zixiao Mountain and Lingshen Cave’s attitude toward the mysterious man in white to be particularly suspicious. There were various rumors and speculations about his identity, suggesting he ca from a strange and forbidden place, yet there was no concrete basis or indication for his appearance in the world.
The death of the son of Chu Gucheng, the lord of Xian Chu, appeared to be sowhat entangled with him. There were too many coincidences surrounding these events. During this period, Star King Bai i had also been trying to devise a way to investigate and deduce his movents, aiming to understand the origin of his identity. If it were indeed related to that strange and taboo land, then the situation would be easier to manage.
Yet, Star King Bai i harbored concerns that things were not as simple as they seed. He had a premonition that his own catastrophe was approaching, and that his fate was nearing its end, likely in the very near future.
Moreover, in a haze, Star King Bai i felt that his fate might be intertwined with Chu Xiao’s death. An existence like him could often glimpse vague fragnts of his own destiny, gaining insights into both fate and self. The catastrophe that Xian Chu was facing this ti was not the catastrophe ant for him.
“Where is Wu Dao?” With a soft sigh in his heart, Star King Bai i turned his gaze to the people below and inquired.
Upon hearing this, a dull-faced, square-jawed man in coarse cloth stepped forward and asked respectfully, “What orders do you have for , Master?”
Star King Bai i regarded his most prized disciple, nodded slightly, and said, “You stay; I have sothing to discuss with you. The rest may leave.” Although he served Chu Gucheng, he had his own mansion with hundreds of millions of disciples spread across the world, among whom the dull man before him was the most important.
Soon, only the two of them remained in the tower. Star King Bai i looked at his dull disciple, took out a slightly yellowed letter from his robes, handed it to him, and said, “Among all my disciples, you are the one I value the most. You are the only one I can trust to carry out important tasks.”
“This letter, once you leave Xi Yuan Civilization, is to be delivered to a place called Yin Xu Cave in the Boundless Realm. Hand it over to the owner of Yin Xu Cave.”
“Yin Xu Cave?” The dull man was taken aback, his face filled with confusion. It was the first ti he had heard that na.
However, Star King Bai i did not elaborate further. Instead, he said, “After you leave Xi Yuan Civilization, make your way to the darkest place in the world. When you arrive, you will understand. As your teacher, I am destined to face calamity, and my only hope seems to lie within this letter.”
“Yes, Master.” The dull man’s expression shifted to one of seriousness as he took the letter and turned to leave the tower.
After he watched him go, Star King Bai i let out a long sigh. “Chu Gucheng bears the destiny of Xi Yuan civilization. It has been nearly a hundred years since I received his kindness and served him. It is a pity that he has not yet confird the image of the emperor.”
“Could it be that what I once said was incorrect?” Chu Gucheng was protected by destiny and had overco nurous obstacles to reach this point.
Although there were many twists, turns, and disasters along the way, they were ultimately resolved by him. In addition to his remarkable luck, Star King Bai i also speculated that it might be linked to Chu Gucheng’s hidden fate. The teacher behind him focused on confirming the way of heaven, pursuing nature, and believed that the only path was to follow one’s heart. R̃ἁƝȰΒΕ𝓢
By following and serving Chu Gucheng, he aid to a large extent to prove the image of the emperor. If Chu Gucheng were to condense the Dao fruit of the human emperor, then the Daoism practiced by Star King Bai i would naturally be validated. With this cultivation base, he would surely advance further and draw closer to the Transcendent realm.
However, the image of the human emperor had yet to be restored, and the land of Xian Chu, established by Chu Gucheng, was steeped in karma and murderous evil. If no intervention occurred, the luck of transpiration would eventually dry up. Star King Bai i suspected that soone was secretly plotting against Xian Chu, but without seeing their true form, the presence of such a terrifying force left him feeling both terrified and apprehensive.
Shengyang Ancient Domain, Xiyan Prefecture, Jing Guo. The following day, Jing Xiang left King Jing’s mansion early and made his way to the Scripture Pavilion in the palace. Jing Xiao, feeling a bit curious, wanted to see how the secrets of the Jing family could be casually docunted in the classics. However, Gu Changge stopped her from following.
“Since your brother ntioned he found it in the records, he must have his reasons. Junior Sister Jing Xiao, can you not trust your brother?” Gu Changge said with a smile.
Hearing this, Jing Xiao considered his words and realized they made sense; after all, her brother must have a reason for what he said. In contrast, Ling Yuxian observed Gu Changge with a aningful glance.
It was near afternoon when Jing Xiang returned from the palace. He did not disappoint Jing Xiao and the others, happily revealing the way to enter the Jing family land.
