As far as the eye could see, there was only thick fog billowing above the Residence of Nine Supremes. Even with the man's amazing cultivation base, he still could not see through the mystery within. The man could not help but be surprised.
What was this place? Although he had heard all kinds of legends about this residence, he had always thought that they were just rumors and exaggerations. Moreover, the highest cultivation base of those who had invaded this residence had not even reached the heaven realm. With his profound cultivation base, how could he be compared to them? Even if he could not see through everything, he should be able to break through it easily.
Now that he had seen it, he could not understand it. Could there be any treacherous and dangerous thoughts that had once again gained the upper hand?
Out of caution, the man in black stopped the movement of the black clouds and stayed above the Residence of Nine Supremes. He only drove a few black clouds into the Residence of Nine Supremes.
The few black clouds charged into the thick fog of the Residence of Nine Supremes with a ferocious force, as if there was no obstruction at all.
However, there was no obstruction at all. As the thick fog shook, the black clouds went in and out of sight. Like a clay ox entering the sea, there was no ripple at all.
In fact, the fog seemed to have become even thicker.
"Strange!"
The man in black frowned, puzzled by the current situation.
The earth-shattering force did not even break through the thick fog of the Residence of Nine Supremes.
However, when it came to this, he had to take action. He could not stay still, or all his efforts would be in vain.
He mustered his mystical Qi cultivation base and injected it into the Providence Flag. Just as he was about to use it, he was surprised to find that there was another black cloud stretching out in the direction indicated by the Providence Flag.
"Is the Residence of Nine Supremes not the final destination?" The man in black could not help being stunned.
"Wrong direction again?!"
The man in black almost broke down.
What was going on today?
According to the records, the few times the Providence Flag had been used, it had always pointed to the source. It could even find the person who would become the ruler of the world in the future, before a person had even made a name for himself!
But this time, he made one misjudgment after another!
This was the first time since ancient times!
Moreover, according to the man in black's mystic technique, the providence of the Residence of Nine Supremes was already sufficient. In terms of providence alone, it was many times denser than the providence of becoming the world's hegemon. It was so dense that even the Providence Flag could not absorb a trace of it, which was shocking.
Even if it was the providence of countries like Dongxuan and Dayuan, as long as they activated the Providence Flag, they could instantly absorb half of it!
This was the first time that the Cosmos Luck Flag was unable to absorb the providence!
However, the Residence of Nine Supremes, which already possessed such a great fortune, was still not the destination!
This was even stranger!
However, judging from the current situation, the Luck Flag was pointing at a place with even more Luck than this place.
Could it be …
This time, it was pointing at the true location of the master?
However, who could have a providence stronger than the Residence of Nine Supremes, whose providence was so strong that it was unparalleled?
"The ruler of a country, that is, the providence of Yutang's palace, or even slightly weaker; the world's hegemon cannot compare to the providence of the Residence of Nine Supremes. Perhaps, even if the entire Tianxuan Continent was united a hundred times, there might not be a providence like the Residence of Nine Supremes. However, the providence of the Residence of Nine Supremes is actually not as strong as the target over there!"
The man in black's eyes widened, and he could not help cursing, "F * ck, could it be that the ruler of heaven is over there?"
However, as he thought about it, the man in black could not help but feel even more refreshed. The providence of the Residence of Nine Supremes could not be plundered because it was a natural building.
However, although the providence was stronger than the Residence of Nine Supremes, it was still a person. As long as this person died, all his providence would belong to the Cosmos Luck Flag!
That way, to himself and to the sect, the benefits would be too great!
In addition, he was wary of the Residence of Nine Supremes before him. Since the target was not here, there was no need to take the risk and waste his time.
Although he was physically and mentally exhausted from the continuous consumption, the black-clothed man managed to pull himself together. With more than eighty percent of his cultivation left, he could fight against anyone in this world. Since the goal had been set, it would be better to finish it all in one go, so as to avoid any unforeseen events that might occur if the night dragged on would be long and there would be more problems!
'No matter how strong your providence is, how can your physical strength compare to mine?'
"Also … the target that the Cosmos Luck Flag is pointing at this time is very likely to be the Immortal, and this person is most likely the only surviving Supreme among the so-called Nine Supremes. In other words … what Supreme Cloud? "
The man in black muttered with a strange chuckle, "I've searched far and wide for it, only to find it by chance! Supreme Cloud, Yun Xiao, is famous for the clouds, it's only right that he dies because of the clouds! "
The dark clouds moved again, stretching towards the direction that the Cosmos Luck Flag was pointing at.
…
Now, the entire Tiantang City had been intimidated by the aura of the dark clouds that had appeared out of nowhere!
Whether it was The Merciless Tower, the Hall of Crimson Blade, the Four Seasons Tower, or the Concourse of the Underworld, they were as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to make the slightest move.
On a faraway mountain, two silhouettes were hidden in the clouds, watching Tiantang City that was shrouded by the dark clouds from afar.
"It looks like … the School of Kismet State has reappeared."
One of them smiled faintly. "This is their usual trick to find the true son of heaven. It's just that it's been too long since he's appeared. If we were to analyze it in detail, it wouldn't be enough."
The other person's tone was mocking. "There's no need to analyze it seriously. Who wouldn't be able to see through the trick? It's nothing more than using the banner of the evil path to create a demonic aura and hide their true intentions. When the providence of this world has been determined, they'll appear as an otherworldly expert, an immortal on earth, to deceive the people and sway the rulers. With a little guidance, they'll achieve great things … It's a good trick. Everyone in this world will fall for it the most!"
The first person smiled faintly and said, "I wonder how this trick compares to the Four Seasons Tower's?"
The other person scoffed. "How can we compare? We're not on the same level at all. I'm ashamed to be compared to them! What they're doing is nothing more than to pursue a high status, to continue providence, to pass down their legacy, to keep their providence intact for tens of thousands of years. That's all there is to it. "
"Look at us, on the other hand, what we're pursuing is our own achievements, to be immortal, to live as long as heaven and earth, to share the same breath as the sun and the moon! The difference between us can't be measured at all! " The person said with disdain, "I even suspect that there's no one in the School of Kismet State who actually knows that there's a true god in this world!"
The first person shook his head and chuckled. "If they knew, they wouldn't have done this. The essence of what they're doing is to position themselves as an existence that controls the flow of providence in this world. How is that different from a human god or an immortal on earth?"
"You're right."
The person behind him said, "However, their providence detection has a high chance of helping us locate Supreme Cloud's exact whereabouts."
The person from before shook his head and said, "You're too optimistic. The Cosmos Luck Flag is a great ominous object. When it's used, not only will it consume the Karmic Luck of the messenger's own Karmic Luck, cultivation, and Karmic Luck, even the people and things the messenger encounters along the way will have their Karmic Luck seized. With the might of the black clouds that cover the sky, even if we're beneath the black clouds, we'll still have a portion of our Karmic Luck absorbed.
"Originally, luck is the most illusory thing. For normal people, it doesn't matter if some luck is sucked away. However, for people like us who wholeheartedly pursue the Great Dao, if we don't have a certain amount of luck to suppress ourselves, when the Gate of Immortality opens, we might regret it for the rest of our lives because we lack a little bit of luck."
"This is the fundamental reason why we've never truly stepped foot into the mortal realm and provoked karma. We can't forget it at any time, nor can we ignore it."
"In spite of this, our actions against the Nine Supremes have long provoked the world's quarrels and even caused great karma." The other person was rather doubtful.
"That's why we can't have our providence sucked away!" The first person said faintly, "When you advance another half a step and truly experience it yourself, you'll naturally understand. However, if you can't take this half a step, you'll never be able to advance an inch for the rest of your life. "
The last person frowned, deep in thought. "Of course I know that, but that's just how I am. It's fine usually, but once things get out of my control, I can't help but be anxious. There's nothing I can do about this."
The first person smiled faintly and said, "Where there's a will, there's a way we can try."
"What way? Tell us quickly, don't keep us in suspense! "The other person asked anxiously.
The first person chuckled and said, "When this is over, find a lake without any fish and fish for a few years using ordinary methods. When you can sit there continuously for half a month without catching a single fish or practicing to bite the bait even once, but you are still content, not anxious, not impatient, calm, and waiting motionlessly … "
He smiled meaningfully and said, "Then your temper will have changed, at least thirty percent."
The other person's expression turned bitter. "Will … will this work? I say, old age, you can't trick me. "
The first person smiled. "I can swear a heavenly oath about this. It's just a few years to prove it, why not give it a try? To you and me, a few years is just a single meditation! "
The other person was relieved and said, "Thank you for your guidance. I'll give it a try when I'm done here."
"Alright."
"Right, regarding the current changes, don't you feel that something is wrong?" The other person said, "Sword, Snow, and Frost are being a little too reckless."
The first person seemed to be the Four Seasons Tower's Mr. Nian. Upon hearing the question, he said faintly, "They are reckless indeed, but the three Venerable Lords haven't been doing well recently. Both Venerable Lords Saber and Ice have fallen one after another. It's understandable that their state of mind is unbalanced. It's only human nature. Their level … can't be compared to us after all. Although the current changes are a little odd, they're harmless and not out of control. If we can seize this opportunity to collect the Dictum of Death's karmic providence and suppress it into God's Bone, it might not be a bad thing. Their recklessness is actually helping us. Furthermore, we can let the world know that the Four Seasons Tower is not to be trifled with. Messing with the Four Seasons Tower's higher-ups is courting death. There's no such thing as luck! "
"That's true." The other person frowned. "Then, what do you think is the possibility of Sword, Snow, and Frost betraying us?"
Mr. Nian's lips curled into a smirk as he uttered slowly, "A … hundred … percent!"
"A hundred percent? I thought that you've judged that the three of them have no rebellious intentions. If that's the case, then the three of them can't be left alive after this. Let's just let Saber and Ice fall one after the other, and let the brothers go to the netherworld together! "
"There's no need to rush. I expect that these three people are determined to betray the Four Seasons Tower. They'll do everything they can … as long as they're allowed to stay in Tiantang City. I believe it won't take long for them to contact Supreme Cloud. Supreme Cloud is the Four Seasons Tower's biggest threat. How can they not contact him? "
"As for us, we'll just wait for Supreme Cloud to show himself." Mr. Nian smiled faintly. "Wouldn't it be a pity to miss such a great opportunity?"
"It's easy for you to say. How do we confirm Supreme Cloud's true identity? If we miss, we'll be alerting the enemy … "
"Have you forgotten?" Mr. Nian looked at the person strangely. "The Nine Supremes' power of manifestation …"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The person was hit with a sudden realization.
"The School of Kismet State's matter … Are we going to participate or not?" asked another person.
This time, Mr. Nian was silent for a long time before he said, "As long as it doesn't affect our final plan, we'll ignore it for now."
"What if it does?"
"Then let the School of Kismet State be cut off from the Tianxuan Continent. Ten thousand years of heritage is a glorious thing, but it's also a heavy burden. Helping them to free themselves from this burden can be considered a form of merit. Isn't that right?"
Mr. Nian smiled. His lean face was filled with a sense of carefreeness.
A gust of wind blew, and a cloud of mist drifted over, concealing the figures of the two men. When the cloud of mist drifted past, both of them had already disappeared along with it.
…
Yun Yang stood in his courtyard, watching the dark clouds drifting about. His expression grew increasingly solemn, and he was unusually quiet.
Ji Lingxi had been by his side all along. Looking at his darkening expression, she felt her heart clench as well.
"To the palace …"
Yun Yang mumbled to himself.
"To the Residence of Nine Supremes …"
Yun Yang's expression changed.
"It's changed its direction again. This time …" Yun Yang's expression changed abruptly. A subtle feeling of impending doom filled his heart, his limbs turning cold.
He instantly came to a conclusion. This black cloud was actually looking for him!
It had to be!
Although he did not know the background of this dark cloud or how it could determine its direction, the conclusion he came to was that it was definitely coming for him based on everything that had happened before him! What's more, this time, he couldn't avoid it no matter what!
He had to face it head-on!
The other party could come all the way from Dongxuan to here, how could he hide? How could he escape?
Thinking of this, Yun Yang felt his heart thumping wildly, as if it would jump out of his throat at any time.
In spite of this, his face was still calm and composed, as steady as a mountain.
"Lingxi. The dark cloud in the sky is a little strange! " Yun Yang's tone was relaxed. "Have you seen such a strange phenomenon before? Have you heard of similar rumors?"
Ji Lingxi shook her head blankly and said, "I've never seen it. I've never even heard of it."
Yun Yang chuckled and said, "What a coincidence. Me too. I've never heard of it, nor have I seen it."
As he spoke, the dark cloud began to move again, moving at an extremely fast speed.
Yun Yang glanced at it from the corner of his eyes, confirming that the tip of the cloud was coming from where he was.
"Lingxi, we've known each other for so long," Yun Yang said softly, "but we've never really had a meal together. What do you think about this?"
Ji Lingxi turned to look at Yun Yang and asked, "What?"
"I remember you saying before that you're quite proficient in the art of cooking." Yun Yang smiled and said, "Why don't you stir-fry seven to eight side dishes, just the two of us, and have a drink?"
"Huh?"
Ji Lingxi lifted her head to look at Yun Yang's face in shock. What was wrong with him today? Why did this blockhead suddenly seem to be enlightened? He's actually asking me to have a drink alone?
In spite of her doubts, Ji Lingxi's heart was suddenly filled with an ecstatic sweetness in the face of such a great temptation. She hummed in agreement with her head lowered and looked at the tip of her toes, asking softly, "What do you want to eat?"
Yun Yang's gaze was still warm as he looked at Ji Lingxi, but his attention had long been attracted by the approaching dark cloud. He urged with a smile, "Anything, anything. I'll eat whatever you make."
Ji Lingxi blushed, thinking that this fellow had really been enlightened. He could actually speak so well now. This happiness had come too suddenly, too abruptly!
"Go on then." Yun Yang said warmly, "Today is a good day. We can be considered to be enjoying ourselves under the moonlight. The scenery is quite nice."
Ji Lingxi hummed in agreement, feeling even hotter than before. Her face felt like it was about to catch fire.
She thought to herself, "If you could speak so well and be so sensible earlier … I wouldn't have to suffer for such a long time."
"Right, if you know how to cook, it's best to stew a chicken soup. Pay attention to the heat. This kind of soup tastes the best in this weather. It's a perfect match, "Yun Yang said, drooling.
"Alright!"
Ji Lingxi said, "I'll do it right away."
At this moment, the little girl's heart was filled with joy and sweetness. She had long been looking forward to the meal that was about to come.
She had cooked the dishes herself, cooked the delicacies, and there would only be two people – him and her.
What … what kind of feeling was this?
It was like a young couple spending their days together, the wife cooking and the husband waiting to eat … The warmth and sweetness was simply …
The more she thought about it, the more shy she felt, the sweeter she felt. The more she thought about it, the more she looked forward to the arrival of the dream-like meal. She could not help but say, "I'll do it right away. I'll do it right now. Wait for me."
Yun Yang nodded and said, "Alright, alright. Remember to be careful. Don't burn yourself."
"You're the stupid one." Ji Lingxi was overjoyed. She did not doubt Yun Yang's sudden enlightenment, thinking that it was due to his sincerity that the wood had finally cracked. She almost skipped away as she left.
At this moment, all the negative emotions that had accumulated during this period of time – no, all the troubles in this world – had left her.
She felt light as a feather, as if she was about to fly.
Watching Ji Lingxi enter her room, Yun Yang finally heaved a sigh of relief.
This stubborn girl had finally left his side.
She did not have to accompany him to face such a huge risk!
To cook, especially stew … Just the chicken soup alone could not be completed without at least two hours of heat control. The dark clouds were about to reach the top of his head …
A faint smile hung at the corners of Yun Yang's lips as he murmured, "I, Yun Yang, have done many things since I came back from Tianxuan Cliff, but … I didn't expect that I would still be unable to escape death in the end!"
"Come."
"I've stayed in this world long enough."
"It's a pity that my revenge isn't complete! There are still some regrets to be had. Faced with such a situation, my brothers won't blame me even if I meet them in the underworld! "
Yun Yang wore a faint smile as he lifted his head to look at the dark clouds that had already reached the top of his head. They grew thicker and denser as they moved towards him.
Amidst the dark clouds, a silhouette could be vaguely seen. The eyes that were filled with cruelty were already locked onto him.
There was a hint of a cruel smile on the face and the corners of the lips.
Yun Yang smiled faintly. With a clang, he drew his saber in his hand. Even if he were to die, he would draw his saber and fight to the bitter end!
The wind howled as Yun Yang's purple robe fluttered in the wind.
The dark clouds came crashing down, casting the heaven and earth into darkness. Within a radius of tens of thousands of feet, it was so oppressive that everyone could hardly breathe.
A maniacal laugh rang in the air. "Found you!"
