Chapter 832: Lu Changsheng: The secret of heaven must be confused!
“There’s a problem, definitely a problem!”
Lu Changsheng’s pale, fatigued face instantly grew solemn.
If the divination results had been stable, with alternating good and bad fortunes, he could have understood and accepted it.
But the sudden auspicious signs, even greatly auspicious ones, were truly unbelievable.
Now that he had broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, if the greatly auspicious signs came true, it would be no ordinary Opportunity; it would have to be a top-tier Nascent Soul Opportunity!
It might even involve the Nascent Soul middle stage or even Late Stage!
Such Opportunities were hard for him to encounter in the past.
Now, as long as he continued to Cultivate in the Overturning Sea Sect, there was a chance he could wait for it?
Simply absurd! Outrageous!
Was he trying to fool him, Old Ancestor Lu, as an ignorant person?
Did he really think that Lu Changsheng’s hundred years of Cultivation had all gone into women!?
“The Heavenly Dao and fortune of the Overturning Sea Sect, and even the entire Town Sea Seven Sects, might be obscured and disrupted!”
Lu Changsheng mused inwardly.
“As one of the top forces in the Star Constellation Sea, the Town Sea Seven Sects likely possess a supreme treasure capable of interfering with and confusing the Heavenly Dao.”
“Moreover, Peace Ocean True Lord and others had previously invited a Fourth-Order Diviner to deduce my situation. In such circumstances, it’s not impossible for them to use a Heavenly Dao treasure to obscure and confuse my Heavenly Dao divination results!”
Although the art of divination had helped Lu Changsheng greatly over the years.
He knew deeply that fate was unpredictable, and divination could not be fully trusted!
If he blindly believed in divination, he would certainly suffer losses in this regard!
Not to mention the unpredictability of the Heavenly Dao, making it difficult to fully grasp the direction of fate and fortune.
Within the Cultivation World alone, there were many methods to confuse the Heavenly Dao and obscure divination results.
Although his divination art had reached the Fourth-Order.
The System’s skills and experience leaned towards being basic and comprehensive.
There was still a gap compared to some top-tier divination Legacies.
Furthermore, the art of divination not only depended on the Cultivator’s talent and Heavenly Dao perception, but the influence of external objects was also very important.
For example, his divination Magic Treasure was still a temporary refinement made in his early years due to urgent need, barely reaching the top-grade Magic Treasure Rank.
For a Fourth-Order Diviner like him, it was actually no longer sufficient.
In such a situation, it was completely normal for other Fourth-Order Diviners with top-tier divination Legacies and divination Magic Treasures to interfere with and confuse the Heavenly Dao of the Town Sea Seven Sects, making it difficult for him to deduce good or bad fortune.
Just like when Peace Ocean True Lord and others attacked before, using the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale as a bait to obscure the Heavenly Dao and fate.
He could not only break through the opponent Diviner’s Heavenly Dao power but also deduce and interfere while hiding from the opponent Diviner.
“However, this method is too disrespectful to me, Lu! Even if the divination results are to be wrong, they should alternate between good and bad, with blessings and misfortunes intertwined.”
Lu Changsheng felt that the Zhenhai Old Ancestor’s use of such Heavenly Dao methods showed a complete disregard for him.
But then he thought, there weren’t many Fourth-Order Diviners to begin with.
The other party probably didn’t guess that he was a Fourth-Order Diviner and would be willing to delve so deeply into divination.
Moreover, the Heavenly Dao is unfathomable.
Even if the Town Sea Seven Sects had a Fourth-Order Diviner and a supreme treasure that confused the Heavenly Dao, it would be impossible to completely pass off the fake as real and deceive him, a Fourth-Order Diviner who was involved in the situation.
“Even if the Town Sea Seven Sects possess a Fourth-Order Diviner, they can’t be too profound. To achieve what they have now is already very astonishing.”
“If I didn’t have Fourth-Order divination, I might have been deceived and influenced.”
Lu Changsheng muttered inwardly, knowing that he should avoid staying in the Overturning Sea Sect before resolving the Zhenhai Old Ancestor.
Otherwise, if the Zhenhai Old Ancestor secretly used schemes and methods, he would find it difficult to perceive them.
He might even be completely unaware when danger and misfortune descended.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll go directly to the Five Poison Sect and use their Spiritual Vein to Breakthrough my Cultivation and Body Refining.”
“Moreover, I need many rare spiritual materials to refine my Nascent Soul Secret Treasure. At that time, I can not only collect them through the Five Poison Sect but also destroy the Yinming Ghost Sect and accumulate a wave of gains!”
Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment, then prepared to leave the Overturning Sea Sect and head to the Five Poison Sect to Breakthrough.
On one hand, he had long planned to visit Nangong Mili, A Youduo, Yina, and his as-yet-unmet daughter Lu Jiangtang at the Five Poison Sect;
On the other hand, his need for a Nascent Soul Secret Treasure was very urgent now.
It was almost impossible to collect them relying on the Great Dream Immortal City.
It was better to collect them with the help of the Five Poison Sect and the Yinming Ghost Sect.
Moreover, his grudge with the Yinming Ghost Sect and Nether Fiend True Lord should also be settled.
Otherwise, once the news of his, Yangming True Lord’s, reappearance in the Jiang Country spread, that old dog, Nether Fiend True Lord, might directly hide, causing further complications.
“I can also make a deal with the Heaven Sword Sect. During the Wilderness War, when Xuanjian Zhenjun attacked Heavenly Fiend True Monarch, he used a secret treasure that restrained a Nascent Soul Spirit Body.”
“I can borrow this secret treasure through a transaction, or exchange for a similar secret treasure!”
Besides the Five Poison Sect and the Yinming Ghost Sect, Lu Changsheng also thought of the Heaven Sword Sect.
As the overlord of the Jiang Country, with a Legacy of thousands of years, they naturally had profound foundations.
In the early Wilderness War, Lu Changsheng remembered that when Heavenly Fiend True Monarch’s Nascent Soul Soul Emergence, a silver silk net full of sharp edges suddenly appeared in the Void Realm, binding Heavenly Fiend True Monarch’s Nascent Soul Spirit Body.
Although he didn’t observe it carefully at the time.
He knew that it was some kind of secret treasure that could restrict the escape of a Nascent Soul Spirit Body.
After making a decision in his heart, Lu Changsheng immediately called for his maids Hai Qin and Cang Jue, telling them that he needed to go into seclusion for Cultivation.
Unless there was an extremely urgent and major matter, they were not to disturb him.
All affairs of the Overturning Sea Sect would proceed as usual, and they could handle them as they saw fit.
Subsequently, he sat cross-legged in his Immortal Cave, meditating to restore his physical state.
Half a month later, Lu Changsheng’s spirit, Qi, and mental state were full. He set up a Restriction in his Immortal Cave and placed a jade talisman in the Formation.
As long as someone touched the Restriction or the Formation, he would immediately sense it.
Immediately after, he cast his Divine Ability [Reversing Yin-Yang Glazed Wall], taking the Golden Winged Roc and Nine Leaf Sword Grass, and silently left the Overturning Sea Sect.
During the process, he could sense that the Zhenhai Old Ancestor was no longer there.
There was also no other Nascent Soul cultivator’s Aura in the entire Overturning Sea Sect.
“Even if the Zhenhai Old Ancestor wants to make a move against me, it can’t be this fast.”
“He must make full preparations and wait for me to relax my guard.”
Lu Changsheng was already certain in his heart that the Zhenhai Old Ancestor would not easily swallow this slight.
He would definitely try every means to seek revenge and snatch his Opportunities and treasures.
In such a situation, even if the Zhenhai Old Ancestor possessed the accumulated profound foundations and connections of the Town Sea Seven Sects, it would not be possible to prepare everything properly in a short time.
During this period, he would also need to further investigate and probe his true strength!
No longer thinking much, after Lu Changsheng left the Overturning Sea Sect by several thousand li, he tore through the Void Realm and flew towards the Great Dream Immortal City.
At the same time, after the Zhenhai Old Ancestor finished dealing with the Possession of the Overturning Sea Sect, Zhenhai True Lord, and Swallowing Sea True Lord, he immediately rushed to the Star Moon Hall.
He planned to ask the Star King and Moon Lord to divine and deduce the detailed situation of Yangming True Lord.
He also wanted to see their attitude towards Yangming True Lord, the Eastern Emperor, as descendants of the Sun Moon Star Palace!
The Zhenhai Old Ancestor arrived at the Starfall Archipelago, where the Star Moon Hall was located, very cautiously, not showing his true face.
Instead, he released a hint of Nascent Soul Aura, and then revealed his identity.
Although the reception Cultivators of the Star Moon Hall were usually very arrogant and ignored Cultivators who came to seek divination.
However, facing a Nascent Soul True Lord, an existence like the Zhenhai Old Ancestor, they were still very respectful and dared not show any negligence.
They respectfully invited him into the VIP hall of the Star Moon Hall, and then went to notify the Star King and Moon Lord.
Ordinarily, the Star King and Moon Lord rarely received guests.
Only when they were unsure of what to do, or when a Nascent Soul True Lord visited, would they choose to inform them.
After a long while, a boy of twelve or thirteen, with an evil, handsome face and dressed in a purple stardust brocade robe, and a tall, graceful woman with a veil over her eyes and skin radiating a pale glow, appeared in the main hall.
The woman sat in the main seat, then looked at the Zhenhai Old Ancestor, who was wearing a straw cape and a bamboo hat, and said with a voice devoid of emotion: “One does not visit the temple without a reason. May I ask why Zhenhai Old Ancestor has graced our Star Moon Hall with his presence?”
“I have come to your Star Moon Hall to demand an explanation.”
The Zhenhai Old Ancestor looked at the young boy and woman before him, his eyes slightly narrowed, and said in a deep voice.
Although he had something to ask for on this trip.
But if he started with too low a posture, he would easily be passive.
And according to what Zhenhai True Lord and others said, he knew that Peace Ocean True Lord had spent favors and a great price to ask the Star King and Moon Lord to deduce things in his early years.
Now that Peace Ocean True Lord had fallen, their Star Moon Hall naturally had to give his Town Sea Seven Sects an explanation!
“An explanation?”
Upon hearing this, the young boy’s thin lips immediately curved upwards, and he said coldly: “Your Town Sea Seven Sects have quite the temper, to actually come to my Star Moon Hall to demand an explanation!”
As he spoke, the stardust on the Star King’s purple brocade robe flowed and shifted, as if depicting the vastness of the Universe, and a terrifying Aura of a Nascent Soul middle stage permeated out.
“Is Zhenhai Old Ancestor here to discuss the matter of Peace Ocean True Lord?”
The Moon Lord, with her eyes veiled and her exquisite face like a pale, cold moon, spoke calmly and indifferently, devoid of emotion.
As top-tier Diviners, upon hearing of the Zhenhai Old Ancestor’s arrival, they had vaguely guessed his purpose.
However, they had long anticipated this matter.
When Peace Ocean True Lord came to the Star Moon Hall and asked them to divine and deduce Lu Changsheng’s situation, they had already seen a faint Aura of impending disaster on Peace Ocean True Lord’s face.
However, they did not remind him.
They even told Peace Ocean True Lord that, based on the current clues, spending time and effort to continue the search would definitely yield results.
Now seeing Old Ancestor Zhenhai arrive, they speculated that Peace Ocean True Lord was most likely in mortal danger, with little chance of survival.
“That’s right, five years ago, Pinghai came to your Star Moon Hall and spent a fortune to ask you two Fellow Daoists to perform a divination.”
“Now that his life and death are unknown, you two Fellow Daoists, don’t you need to give this Old Ancestor an explanation?”
As the longest-lived Nascent Soul cultivator in the Star Constellation Sea, Old Ancestor Zhenhai naturally knew the strength of the two in front of him.
But at this moment, he showed no fear, his Aura not weakening in the slightest.
“Our Star Moon Hall divines for people based only on the divination results, regardless of the Karma afterwards. As long as one leaves this hall, right or wrong, it has nothing to do with our Star Moon Hall.”
Star King stood with his hands behind his back, his face evil and cold, and spoke proudly.
Although he looked like a young man, his Aura was imposing, and no one dared to underestimate him.
“Hmph!”
Old Ancestor Zhenhai snorted in the face of Star King’s Aura, then continued, “If you hadn’t borrowed Pinghai to test the Eastern Emperor, how could he have ended up with an unknown fate of life or death!”
“Don’t think this Old Ancestor doesn’t know, your Star Moon Hall comes from the East Sea’s Sun Moon Star Palace, and has deep ties with the Eastern Emperor!”
Old Ancestor Zhenhai’s eyes were like an abyss, staring at the Star King and Moon Lord in front of him, directly stating the relationship between the Star Moon Hall and the Sun Moon Star Palace.
This matter, apart from him, was known to very few people in the entire Star Constellation Sea, and could definitely be called a secret.
Star King and Moon Lord did not show surprise when Old Ancestor Zhenhai revealed the relationship between their Star Moon Hall and the Sun Moon Star Palace.
After all, the other party knew the secrets of their Star Moon Hall.
Their Star Moon Hall also knew some secrets of the Town Sea Seven Sects and the Old Ancestor Zhenhai in front of them.
For example, the Town Sea Seven Sects, like their Star Moon Hall, originated from the East Sea Cultivation World.
It was when the great change happened in the East Sea back then that the Elders of their sect led their Disciples to flee to the Star Constellation Sea and establish the Town Sea Seven Sects.
And this Old Ancestor Zhenhai in front of them was very likely not Human Race, but Yao Race!
However, upon hearing the four words “Eastern Emperor,” Star King and Moon Lord instinctively exchanged glances.
Through Peace Ocean True Lord’s words back then, they had already speculated whether the “Sun Profound Light” originated from the Sun Moon Star Palace, a supreme treasure of the Eastern Emperor lineage.
It was just that the Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror was a heavenly spiritual treasure.
And Lu Changsheng also had the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Emperor Lotus, the Lu Clan Genealogy, and the Profound Heaven Spiritual Vine to block the heavenly secrets.
Even if the two of them combined their efforts, they couldn’t deduce anything about the Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror or Lu Changsheng’s origin.
But now, Old Ancestor Zhenhai directly confirmed that this person was the “Eastern Emperor.”
“What does the Eastern Emperor in Old Ancestor’s mouth mean?”
Moon Lord’s beautiful eyes, covered by a light veil, rippled slightly as she asked Old Ancestor Zhenhai.
Although according to the Ancestral Master’s last words, the Eastern Emperor Reincarnation and the Eastern Emperor would reappear in the East Sea Cultivation World in the future.
But the Eastern Emperor was of great importance.
The Old Ancestor Zhenhai in front of them, as a living fossil of the Star Constellation Sea, and knowing many things about the East Sea Cultivation World, could not be speaking carelessly.
“Hehe, why does Moon Lord pretend not to know?”
Old Ancestor Zhenhai’s deep, abyssal eyes under his bamboo hat glanced at Moon Lord, then he chuckled and said, “Your Star Moon Hall originates from the Sun Moon Star Palace, and besides the Star and Moon lineages, the Sun Moon Star Palace also has the Eastern Emperor lineage.”
“The great sun is primary, and the stars and moon are secondary. What does Eastern Emperor mean? Do you two not know?”
Old Ancestor Zhenhai slowly spoke, directly revealing the situation of the Sun Moon Star Palace.
“As expected of Old Ancestor Zhenhai, you are so clear about the situation of our Star Moon Hall.”
Star King lightly clapped his hands and said with a smile, “Since that’s the case, how did Old Ancestor determine that this person is the Eastern Emperor?”
“According to the records of our Star Moon Hall, when the Sun Moon Star Palace was breached in the past, the Eastern Emperor lineage was already massacred by the Yao Race. How could there be a in this Star Constellation Sea?”
Star King looked at Old Ancestor Zhenhai with a hint of scrutiny in his gaze.
Old Ancestor Zhenhai could tell from the tone of the two in front of him that they were not very close to the “Eastern Emperor,” nor were they clear about the specific situation of the Eastern Emperor.
He immediately chuckled and said, “Massacred? Didn’t your Star and Moon lineages get passed down?”
“Don’t you two Fellow Daoists know the origin of my Zhenhai Sect? Didn’t it also get passed down from the great calamity of that year?”
Old Ancestor Zhenhai looked at Star King and sneered, “Since that’s the case, what’s so strange about the Eastern Emperor lineage being passed down?”
“Old Ancestor, your words are improper. If one only obtains a small portion of the Legacy, are they worthy of being called the Eastern Emperor?”
Star King immediately said with some disdain.
“Naturally, it’s not just a small portion of the Legacy. This person possesses the supreme treasure of your ‘Sun Moon Star Palace’s’ Eastern Emperor lineage, the Eastern Emperor Mirror!”
Old Ancestor Zhenhai stared at the two in front of him, his expression serious, trying to discern their reactions.
As expected!
Upon hearing the three words “Eastern Emperor Mirror,” both Star King and Moon Lord’s expressions changed, their eyes showing shock and disbelief.
Eastern Emperor Mirror.
It was not only the supreme treasure of the Eastern Emperor lineage!
It was also the supreme treasure of the Sun Moon Star Palace!
Supreme treasures have spirits and can choose their own masters.
Ordinary Cultivators simply weren’t qualified to become the master of the Eastern Emperor Mirror!
“This is impossible! Since Old Ancestor knows that the Eastern Emperor Mirror is the supreme treasure of the Sun Moon Star Palace’s Eastern Emperor lineage, you should know that such a supreme treasure could never be lost outside.”
Star King immediately retorted.
According to the Ancestral Master’s last words, the mission of the Star Moon Hall was to assist the Eastern Emperor in rebuilding the Sun Moon Star Palace.
But the Star Moon Hall was now one of the top forces in the Star Constellation Sea.
He, Star King, was also one of the top Nascent Soul cultivators in the Star Constellation Sea.
In such a situation, how could he be willing to assist someone he had never met just for a last will?
So, for such matters, like the Eastern Emperor, he was extremely resistant!
Unless the other party had world-shaking talent and was a Nascent Soul True Lord!
Otherwise, wanting him to assist was simply wishful thinking!
“Since this Old Ancestor came to your Star Moon Hall, it is naturally because I witnessed it with my own eyes.”
Old Ancestor Zhenhai said, taking out a jade slip from his embrace and tossing it to Star King and Moon Lord in front of him.
He had come to the Star Moon Hall fully prepared.
Through a Divine Ability, he imprinted the Sun Profound Light that Lu Changsheng had blasted at him into the jade slip, and also simulated its might and Aura.
Although it was difficult to completely reproduce the scene and power at that time, it could show the general situation.
“This…”
Star King and Moon Lord looked at the scene in the jade slip, feeling the scorching and domineering power of the Sun Profound Light, and their hearts suddenly skipped a beat.
They had never seen the Eastern Emperor Mirror.
Most of the information about the Sun Moon Star Palace and the East Sea Cultivation World was learned through the Ancestral Master’s notes and the accounts of the previous generation’s Star King and Moon Lord.
Therefore, they could not determine if this was the supreme treasure of the Sun Moon Star Palace, the Eastern Emperor Mirror.
But Old Ancestor Zhenhai’s words and the scene in the jade slip made them believe that this was very likely the Eastern Emperor Mirror.
“It’s probably difficult to determine that this is the Eastern Emperor Mirror based solely on this one Sun Divine Light, isn’t it?”
Star King said calmly, knowing that Moon Lord’s attitude towards the Eastern Emperor lineage was more proactive than his own.
If the “Eastern Emperor” in Old Ancestor Zhenhai’s mouth was true, Moon Lord was very likely to assist him.
In this situation, he, the Star King, would be very awkward.
“So, this Old Ancestor came here to ask you two to confirm it, to divine this person’s origin, and see if he is the Eastern Emperor!”
“If he is, and Pinghai ended up with an unknown fate of life or death because of your divination and testing of the Eastern Emperor, then how do you two plan to give this Old Ancestor an explanation?”
“If not, then this Old Ancestor is willing to apologize to you two.”
Old Ancestor Zhenhai looked at Star King and Moon Lord in front of him, and said in a deep voice, wanting to know their thoughts.
Would the two choose to remember old affections and speak on behalf of the Eastern Emperor lineage, or would they covet the Eastern Emperor Legacy!
After all, the Star Moon Hall was only founded by a group of people who escaped from the Sun Moon Star Palace in its early years.
Now, thousands of years have passed, and the Star King and Moon Lord have changed several generations. They have probably long forgotten the events of that year.
Furthermore, in the Sun Moon Star Palace, the Eastern Emperor was primary, and the Star and Moon were secondary. How could they, as the successors of the Star and Moon, be willing to be subordinate?
They might even be more interested in the Eastern Emperor Legacy!
Star King wanted to say that they had already divined before and couldn’t deduce anything, so it would be better for him and him to go meet this Eastern Emperor.
But Moon Lord next to him directly nodded in agreement: “Good.”
“Star King.”
Moon Lord looked at Star King, her voice calm and indifferent, without joy or sorrow, preparing to pay the price to deeply deduce the situation of this Eastern Emperor.
Star King looked at Moon Lord’s misty beautiful eyes covered by a light veil, his cold and evil face contemplating for a moment, then said: “Good.”
In the Star Moon Hall, Star King and Moon Lord stood side by side, with no distinction of Rank.
Moreover, Moon Lord was more skilled in divination than him. Even if he disagreed, Moon Lord could still perform the divination and deduction.
Refusing Moon Lord at this moment would undoubtedly expose his unwillingness to follow the Ancestral Master’s last wishes.
