Chapter 247: The One Who Peeks into the Secrets of Heaven!
The entire Xuantian Realm is divided into the Eastern Frontier, the Western Regions, the Southern Wilderness, the Northern Desert, and the Central Continent.
Only in Zhongzhou, there exists a single dynasty that occupies the entire Zhongzhou. Although it is far from comparable to the Great Qin Dynasty, which once dominated half of the Xuantian Realm and disintegrated before the second generation was settled, it is still a behemoth.
The "Wentian Divine Palace" is located on the Wentian Sacred Mountain of the Central Plains Dynasty.
Whether the Celestial Masters are powerful or not is something no one can say for sure, but when it comes to their mystery, no one in the world is more "mysterious" than the Celestial Masters.
They observe the heavens by day and the stars by night, calculating good and bad fortune with their fingers, predicting blessings and misfortunes. Some can even glimpse the secrets of heaven and predict the future! However, those who reveal heavenly secrets will indeed be punished by heaven.
For example, a former master of the Wentian Divine Palace was struck dead by heavenly tribulation lightning, leaving not even ashes behind.
However, despite this, the existence of the Astrologer is still needed by many forces in the world.
The Grand Preceptor of the Central Continent Dynasty came from the Heavenly Questioning Palace. In terms of strength and status, he was second only to the Emperor of the Central Continent, truly second only to the Emperor!
Many factions would consult the Celestial Master as a guest advisor to predict good or bad fortune and the direction of their destiny.
Even within the vast territory of the Central State Dynasty, where imperial power reigns supreme, only the Wentian Divine Palace can be considered a state within a state, holding a prominent position and standing on equal footing with the Central State Dynasty.
……
At the summit of Mount Wentian, clouds and mist swirl year-round, and here stands the Wentian Divine Palace, with its hundred-zhang-high Wentian Platform.
At this moment, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Inquiry Palace, the Mysterious Saint Venerable, was sitting cross-legged on the Heavenly Inquiry Platform, comprehending the illusory appearance of the stars and moon, and deducing the changes in the heavens.
He wore a crown, his long robes fluttered in the wind, and starlight shimmered around him, making him look like an ancient sculpture.
Three chief elders stood behind him.
Elder Xuanwu, Elder Baihu, and Elder Zhuque—three of the "Four Symbols of Asking Heaven"—were waiting here.
The three men stared solemnly at the Mysterious Saint Venerable on the platform with admiration, waiting for him to finish his divination of the celestial phenomena.
Suddenly.
The Venerable Xuanji murmured in surprise, "This is... a celestial phenomenon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuanji Saint Venerable's eyes snapped open, and a sharp purple lightning bolt flashed within them.
"Crack!"
"Boom——"
Thunder rumbled. He looked up at the night sky and saw two stars that had lit up one after the other among the vast constellations, making them impossible to ignore. The latter star, though its light was slightly dim at first, soon burst into full brilliance!
"Palace Master, this..."
Elder Baihu was also very surprised.
Today, four of the five most important people in the Wentian Divine Palace have gathered at the Wentian Terrace to observe the stars at night.
It is because the Mysterious Saint Venerable successfully discerned the secrets of heaven and predicted that there would be a major change tonight!
But they didn't know exactly what the changes were.
As the saying goes, "Heavenly secrets are obscure," and even someone with the profound cultivation of the Venerable Xuanji cannot see through them.
However, if the Celestial Master wants to know something, he can't go wrong by observing the night sky; the stars will tell him any information.
And then, it really happened! "The Cosmic Sound Destiny Star and the Crimson Demon Destiny Star have actually lit up again!"
The Venerable Xuanji was very excited.
Both of these stars are extremely special.
Among the natural constellations of the Xuantian Realm, there are seven "Destiny Stars". These seven Destiny Stars are actually the embodiment of the Xuantian Realm's fortune. They are the "destiny" left behind by seven people in the Xuantian Realm who broke through the shackles and reached the peak of the Supreme Immortal during the primordial era!
They were so powerful that their destiny and karma were even recognized by the Heavenly Dao, transforming into stars and existing forever in the world!
So, what is the significance of the seven major life stars?
The Mysterious Saint Venerable did not know.
Nowadays, people who know that the "Seven Destiny Stars" actually exist and are not some ancient lie or fabrication are extremely rare.
The only thing he knew was that these seven destiny stars were very likely the key to reopening the "Five Realms Passage" and allowing the "Immortal Realm Qi" to flow back into the Xuan Tian Realm!
This is a forbidden secret that has been passed down for countless generations in the Wentian Divine Palace.
If the seven celestial stars were to reappear in the form of living beings, then...
The ancient, primordial era is about to return!
The Venerable Xuanji took a deep breath to calm himself.
It's time to convene a secret meeting of the strongest, but before that, Venerable Xuanji needs to bring out some "real stuff".
"Hulala-"
A sudden gust of wind arose on the Asking Heaven Terrace.
The Venerable Xuanji closed his eyes, lightly touched his brow with his right index finger, and made a hand seal with his left hand. Golden light floated at his fingertips, while the void around him gradually distorted.
"boom!"
As the golden light at the fingertips of the Mysterious Saint Venerable surged, a vast sea of stars appeared in the distorted void.
With a flick of his left hand, the Xuanji Saint Venerable caused the Heavenly Questioning Platform to tremble. A moment later, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and his aura weakened.
"Palace Master!"
The three chief elders quickly stepped forward to help him up.
"Hehe, hahahahaha..."
Xuanji Saint Venerable opened his eyes, but only burst into laughter.
"As expected, as expected of someone shrouded in the karma of their destiny star, even my attempt to discern their location resulted in such a severe backlash."
"But thankfully, I found out!"
