Chapter 1060: Chapter 529: His Fate Depends on You! (Part 2)

"Follow Lord Hall Master’s guidance diligently in cultivation; Grandpa Zhan wants to see you standing at the peak!"

Zhan Tian’s large hand gently rubbed his head.

"Sigh!"

The Hall Master let out a sigh, then pointed at Zhan Tian, "Give me a drop of essence blood!"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Tian dared not hesitate and instantly concentrated a drop of essence blood.

The next moment, the essence blood hovered above the Hall Master’s fingertip.

"Boom boom boom..."

The Yin Yang Ring in mid-air started to spin.

Streams of starlight descended, enveloping the Hall Master.

"The Hall Master is performing a divination!"

Chen Xuan’s expression tensed up.

At the same time, the Hall Master’s eyes, akin to stars, suddenly emitted a rainbow of lights, and scenes flashed before his eyes.

"Hoo—"

A moment later, everything returned to normal, the Hall Master exhaled deeply, his face slightly pale.

"Lord Hall Master..."

"Enough!"

"You’ve come this far; I can’t just watch you walk to your death, can I?"

"Then...?"

Zhan Tian looked at him with anticipation, eager to know the result of the divination.

"You won’t die young! That’s all, don’t ask more! Saying too much might alter fate!"

"Alright, alright, I won’t ask!"

Zhan Tian nodded repeatedly.

Ever since he mentioned going to the Blood Cry Realm, his heart felt weighed down as if by a stone, a feeling unusually oppressive. But after hearing the Hall Master’s words, it was like his heart basked in sunlight, suddenly clear.

He then respectfully bowed deeply to the Hall Master, "Thank you, Lord Hall Master!"

"But still, be careful, don’t go seeking death!"

Facing the Hall Master’s warning, Zhan Tian immediately replied with a smile, "I understand, Zhan Tian understands!"

"Go!"

Zhan Tian nodded at him, then headed towards the outside.

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan instructed Xiaoqi, "You practice diligently here with Lord Hall Master; I’ll come to see you whenever I have time!"

Then he saluted the Hall Master, "Thank you for the trouble, Lord Hall Master."

"No need!"

However, his glance fell on Zhan Tian until he had left, then he spoke, "Zhan Tian’s mission is perilous this time; his survival heavily depends on you!"

"What? Me?!"

Chen Xuan was petrified; his power was at most in the early eightfold stage, not even reaching mid-stage.

How could Zhan Tian’s life hinge on him!

"Please kindly explain, Hall Master."

He knew the Hall Master wouldn’t be mistaken, and since that was the case, he certainly couldn’t sit idly by.

"Celestial Eye Forest!"

The Hall Master uttered three words.

But... Chen Xuan was still puzzled about its relation with the Tree-man Race’s Celestial Eye Forest, when he wanted to ask further.

Suddenly!

A lightning bolt appeared directly overhead in the hall!

"Boom!"

It struck the Hall Master’s forehead instantly!

In a flash!

A blood mark appeared, and Chen Xuan immediately swallowed back his words; this was heaven’s punishment on the Hall Master for revealing heaven’s secrets.

"Take this!"

He then handed Zhan Tian’s essence blood to him, "You’ve seen it, nothing can be spoken; either predict it yourself, but I advise against it. Zhan Tian is too powerful for you to handle."

"Find the answer yourself in Celestial Eye Forest!"

"Yes, Hall Master!"

Chen Xuan secured the essence blood, then left the place.

In the great hall, only Xiaoqi and the Hall Master, the elderly and the young, were left.

"Grandpa Hall Master, are you alright?"

Xiaoqi glanced at the blood mark on his forehead, which hadn’t healed but wasn’t bleeding either, though the outline flickered with arcs left by the lightning.

"It’s fine; Grandpa Hall Master is used to being struck."

The Hall Master chuckled.

He merely performed a divination on Zhan Tian, a bearable task.

"Uh...."

Xiaoqi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, used to being struck!

Outside Star Hall!

Zhan Tian waited for Chen Xuan on the chariot.

Seeing him board the chariot, he couldn’t wait to ask, "What did the Hall Master say to you?"

"Nothing much." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Seeing he wanted to speak again, he helplessly said, "Don’t ask; the Hall Master was even struck by lightning."

After speaking, he pointed upward, "Don’t worry, if the Hall Master said it’s alright, then it must be alright; surely you know his power."

"Then... no more questions."

Zhan Tian knew the Hall Master must have instructed him something, but seeing him point upwards, he held his tongue.

Too many questions might alter fate.

...

The next morning!

After a brief conversation with Liu Sheng, Zhan Tian immediately left the Imperial City.

In the small courtyard.

Chen Xuan gazed at the sky, frowning, "Celestial Eye Forest... What exactly does Lord Hall Master mean?"

"What’s wrong?"

Gu Pengyou approached him, gently asking.

He had been like this since yesterday, even setting aside cultivation.

"Nothing!"

Chen Xuan smiled, his woman need not worry.

However, he still had to visit the Hidden Forest Abyss, then said, "I’m going to see the Chief Eunuch."

"Okay!"

Gu Pengyou nodded slightly, "You don’t have to say if you don’t want to, but watch your safety!"

She understood Chen Xuan didn’t want to bring troubles to them.

Therefore, they could only silently support him from the shadows.

"You’re going to the Hidden Forest Abyss? Why?!"

Liu Sheng stood up immediately upon hearing this, "Don’t you know how dangerous it is there now?"

"Duke Qin sent so many people, all with no news, even a few in the eighth Dao Realm."

"You go there to die?!"

"Calm down first."

Chen Xuan helped him sit down.

"How can I calm down? What will I do if you die?"

He had long regarded Chen Xuan as one of his own, even as the next Chief Eunuch.

How could he not worry!

"I must go!"

Seeing his anxious look, Chen Xuan knew he had to explain.

"Why?"

Liu Sheng was puzzled, why must he go! Who forced him?

"The Hall Master’s divination; Elder Zhan’s life depends on Celestial Eye Forest!"
