"Oh?"

The Lord Hall Master glanced at Chen Xuan, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He hadn’t expected that even here, Chen Xuan could benefit from the energy emitted by the Yin Yang Ring.

This alone indicated that his Divine Soul was exceptionally strong.

"Lord Hall Master."

Chen Xuan looked at him, "This is...?"

"The Yin Yang Ring is the foundation of our Star Hall, an ancient treasure. If you wish, you may cultivate here for a while; it will be greatly beneficial to your Divine Soul."

The Hall Master spoke slowly.

Chen Xuan was stunned, not expecting him to be so generous, willing to let him use such a treasured item.

Then, he bowed slightly to the Hall Master, "Thank you, Lord Hall Master, but I don’t have time at the moment."

Right now, his main priority was to open his acupoints.

Although it would greatly benefit his Divine Soul, improving his Sacred Body was the urgent task.

"Hmm!"

The Hall Master nodded slightly, "Cultivating the Sacred Body is indeed more appropriate."

Chen Xuan showed a slight bitter smile, "Really, there’s nothing that can be hidden from you, sir."

Even though his talents were well-concealed and upgraded, they were still seen through at a glance!

So terrifying!

"I merely sensed that you have acupoints. As for the Sacred Body, I’m aware of it too. As for everything else, I can’t discern; your skills are impressive."

Then he looked at Zhan Tian, "Congratulations, the Sacred Body finally has a successor."

"He’s not my successor!"

"I do hope Xiaoqi can also cultivate the Sacred Body; that way, I would have no regrets."

He had his eyes on Xiaoqi, but Chen Xuan was someone Liu Sheng implored him for, not his own successor.

"You..."

The Hall Master shook his head with a smile, then looked at Xiaoqi, speaking slowly, "Xiaoqi’s talents are exceptional, but whether he can cultivate the Sacred Body still depends on fate. Compared to him..."

He pointed at Chen Xuan, "Xiaoqi’s fortune is not as abundant as his!"

Xiaoqi, he could somewhat predict, but when it came to Chen Xuan, he couldn’t see anything about his future.

Even the only mistake he made in his lifetime happened with him.

Sometimes, he was curious about what means he possessed that allowed him to hide his future.

Which made even the slightest inference impossible.

"Lord Hall Master, I believe Xiaoqi can do it."

Zhan Tian disagreed with his view; in his eyes, Xiaoqi had even more talent than Chen Xuan.

Moreover, he had a feeling Xiaoqi would certainly be able to cultivate the Sacred Body.

"I hope so!"

The Hall Master did not want to debate this issue further, but...

"You should prepare yourself; the situation in Great Yu is not very promising this time!"

"What?"

Zhan Tian’s expression changed dramatically, "Do you mean the Stone Cave?"

"Alright, stop asking; the secrets of the heavens must not be revealed. I still wish to live a few more years!"

The Hall Master was unwilling to say more, and just being able to remind Zhan Tian was already quite a feat.

Revealing heavenly secrets was akin to contending with heaven. Although he was strong, he was still human.

How could a human contend against heaven?!

"I’ll go see Your Majesty!"

Zhan Tian turned to leave, but... "The decree was just issued, and now it’s to be canceled?"

"Don’t you know what kind of person Emperor Yu is?"

The Hall Master’s voice made Zhan Tian pause mid-step.

"Indeed!"

He slowly said.

Emperor Yu, with his pride and arrogance, how could he possibly do something to disgrace himself, and in such a short time?

But... the Stone Cave?

"I am merely reminding you; it’s not certain what the outcome will be. Just be prepared."

"Understood. Please, Lord Hall Master, take care of Xiaoqi."

Saying this, he left the Star Hall.

Even if things with Emperor Yu didn’t work out, he needed to discuss things well with Liu Sheng.

After he left,

"Chaos... who knows how many will perish!"

The Hall Master wore a look of compassionate sorrow.

"Since you’ve predicted it, Lord Hall Master, why can’t you stop it?"

Chen Xuan was puzzled.

Isn’t there a chance to save more people?

"This is fate!"

"It can’t be stopped!"

"And also..." The Hall Master looked at him, "Stopping it may not lead to a good outcome."

"Letting everything take its natural course, that is the way of nature!"

It seemed like an explanation, but it only made Chen Xuan more confused.

He couldn’t understand at all.

"Haven’t you predicted before?"

"Wasn’t that feeling unpleasant?"

The Hall Master looked at him with a half-smile.

"What?"

Chen Xuan blurted out, suddenly alert as he looked at him.

"There’s no need to worry so much!"

"It’s a scent!"

"There’s a unique scent of the past on you; this cannot be hidden from me."

Chen Xuan was shocked.

The scent of the past? Does this mean he predicted the past Marquis Ning, and it even had a scent?

Indeed!

No wonder he is the foremost Spirit Cultivator of Great Yu, truly terrifying. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Lastly, let me give you a piece of advice?"

"Please, sir!"

Chen Xuan looked at him with respect.

"Don’t attempt to predict the future; your cultivation is too weak to bear the punishment. As for the past, predict sparingly!"

"I don’t know where you learned these skills, but the art of prediction violates the Dao and harms us!"

"Thank you for your advice, Lord Hall Master."

Chen Xuan bowed deeply to him.

Now reflecting back, after finishing the prediction that day, his entire body felt exhausted, but he thought it was due to depletion of Spiritual Power. In retrospect, it was not.

Three days later.

Xiaoqi achieved a Martial Breakthrough in both Spiritual and Martial cultivation.

And with the Hall Master’s assistance, he again entered a state of Unity.

This time, Chen Xuan carefully observed again.

Trying to use his upgraded Telepathy to see where this energy of Unity came from.

But it left him disappointed.

"Your eyes are quite peculiar."

Only after he retracted his Telepathy did the Hall Master speak.

"As are yours, Lord Hall Master."

He had Telepathy, but the Hall Master seemed to truly have an extraordinary pair of eyes, like celestial gems, drawing one into absorption unconsciously.
