Chapter 229: Chapter 225: Celestial Fate People (2)
In the great hall, the lamplight flickered, casting swaying shadows upon the surrounding walls.
Xuanqing’s face was indistinct, as if veiled by a mysterious mist, making it impossible to discern his expression.
Upon hearing Hu Qi’s words, he paused for a mont before speaking slowly.
"What is it that you require, young friend? If I can be of assistance, I am duty-bound to help."
Hu Qi glanced at him.
"It’s nothing major," he said. "I simply wish to borrow the Inheritance Secret Martial Arts you cultivate, Lord Xuanqing, as well as your Life Map Cultivation thod, to have a look. Would that be possible?"
"Mother Earth is about to awaken, and we don’t have much ti left. Instead of hoarding them selfishly, you might as well hand over the Inheritance Secret Martial Arts to . It might give us a sliver of hope for survival."
Though his tone was calm, it was filled with imnse confidence.
To be honest, Hu Qi held no great animosity toward Xuanqing.
Before coming here, he had investigated Xuanqing’s deeds.
In truth, the man could be considered the pillar of the Xia Federation—no, of the entire Surface Human Race.
If he hadn’t used his absolute power to suppress the many Schools when the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy Tide first appeared, it would have been impossible for them to unite and form the Xia Federation.
Zhu Xi wouldn’t have been established so quickly either, and the death toll at the hands of the Black Blood Species would have been far higher.
This was why he was now being so frank with him.
It would be for the best if Xuanqing handed over the Inheritance Secret Martial Arts willingly.
He didn’t want to fight him unless it was absolutely necessary.
Many had died by his hand along the way, but in the end, he wouldn’t have acted if they hadn’t been courting death.
He, Hu Qi, had his own principles and bottom line. Though they were low, they existed nonetheless.
"The Inheritance Secret Martial Arts and the Life Map Cultivation thod, you say?"
Xuanqing muttered to himself.
"If you desire them, young friend, then take them. As for the Life Map Technique, I have collected three different kinds. I will give them all to you!"
As he spoke, he made a grasping motion with his hand.
The next mont, with a flash of light, a white scroll and three blue-covered booklets appeared in his hand.
Without the slightest hesitation, he offered them to Hu Qi.
Hu Qi paused for a mont, then reached out and took them.
He was inwardly astonished.
He had considered that Xuanqing might refuse or hesitate, but he never expected him to agree so readily.
As if sensing Hu Qi’s confusion, Xuanqing chuckled lightly.
"These things are not of much use to , in truth. Rather than letting them gather dust by my side, it’s better they be put to good use.
"Perhaps you truly can stand against Mother Earth."
Hu Qi’s eyes flickered, and he asked pointedly,
"Lord Xuanqing, you seem to have a great deal of confidence in ?"
Previously, the special consideration Xuanqing had shown him was already a surprise.
This ti, he had thought he would have to go through so trouble, perhaps even co to blows.
To be on the safe side,
not only had he saved so Modification Points to use for the Taiqing Immortal Slaying Sword Technique,
he had also deliberately chosen to co at night. This was because after lighting up his Taiyin Life Map, he could absorb Moonlight at night to gain a small boost in strength.
But he had never imagined that Xuanqing would hand over the items so easily.
"Not so!"
Xuanqing shook his head.
"It’s not that I have confidence in you. Rather, you yourself are an anomaly."
Before Hu Qi could ask, Xuanqing continued, "The Yin Yang Taiyin Chapter that I cultivate is an extrely special Inheritance Secret Martial Arts.
"Once cultivated to a high Realm, after breaking through the Divine Barrier, one can condense a Divine Technique called ’Heart Inference’.
"It is a way of amplifying the Power of the Heart.
"It allows one to observe, to a certain extent, the Destiny Trajectory of every living being, thereby achieving an effect akin to prophecy."
At this point, he looked at Hu Qi.
Although his face was a blur, like a mass of distorted clear light, Hu Qi could still perceive his sowhat strange gaze.
"And yet, I can perceive no shadow of a Destiny Trajectory upon you.
"It is as if... you are not of this world. As if you do not exist!"
As his words fell,
Hu Qi chuckled.
"If I don’t exist, then what is this standing before you?"
Though he said this, a peculiar light flashed in his pupils beneath his lowered eyelids.
"Correct. This is also why I call you an anomaly,"
Xuanqing said.
"An anomaly is called an anomaly because it is inherently unpredictable; its future is filled with endless possibilities.
"In this respect, they are sowhat similar to the Celestial Fate People."
"However, compared to the Celestial Fate People, anomalies are far rarer. They can bring about good, but they can also bring about ill.
"But at the very least, the appearance of an anomaly is not a bad thing for the current situation the Human Race faces. This is why I am willing to help you."
His words were very candid.
Hearing this, Hu Qi’s heart stirred.
He had his own suspicions about this "anomaly" Xuanqing spoke of. It was highly likely related to his identity as a transmigrator and the Crimson panel he possessed.
Of course, he would never tell Xuanqing about the Crimson panel or his status as a transmigrator.
Thus, he changed the subject.
He asked, "I was wondering, what are these Celestial Fate People?"
This was not the first ti he had heard the term. He had heard it from Shu Ming’s lips back in the Inner Earth World.
There were also records of it in the mories of the Food Master he had devoured.
But the information was not detailed. He only knew it seed to be a title for those who possessed great fortune.
"The Celestial Fate People are just as their na implies.
"They refer to one, or several, lucky individuals chosen by the world.
"They are people blessed by the fortune of heaven and earth, with exceptional luck, extraordinary Talent, opportunities, and destinies.
"Their existence is often closely tied to the fate of the world and the course of major events.
"Their every move can potentially alter the world’s structure and affect the fates of countless lives.
"The Destiny Trajectory of the Celestial Fate People is also difficult to fathom, but there are still traces to be found, unlike you, who has no trace at all.
"However, beings like the Celestial Fate People are unlikely to appear in tis of peace and prosperity.
"This is because the appearance of the Celestial Fate People is quite a burden on the world itself.
"Only when the world faces great change, or when a disaster that threatens the entire world is about to occur, will the Celestial Fate People be born to et the challenge,"
Xuanqing explained.
"In the past, within the Miwu Civilization, dynastic civilizations, or even the technologically-oriented Noki Civilization, the figures of Heavenly Fortune Takers have all appeared.
"They appeared to lead their civilizations and reverse their fate of being destroyed by Mother Earth. It’s just a pity that, without exception, they all failed..."
After Xuanqing’s explanation, Hu Qi had a general understanding of what these Celestial Fate People were.
It was more or less what he had guessed.
To put it bluntly, they were like the protagonists and important supporting characters in a novel.
