"To be honest, I didn't know what providence was back then. Why did Master value it so much? I only remember that when Master passed away, he looked at me with a faint smile. His smile was a little strange. "
Perfected Lord Tianlan sighed and said to Lu Chen, "Therefore, there was a period of time when I even suspected that there might not be providence at all. Could it be that Master didn't like Senior Brother Bai Chen and deliberately said that?
"Even I was a little confused. Senior Brother Bai Chen naturally flew into a rage. He obviously didn't believe in this baffling providence, but he couldn't change Master's will. Therefore, he probably hated me from then on. However, it's no wonder. If it were me in his position, I would probably go crazy from anger too … "
Perfected Lord Tianlan spoke of this secret in a very relaxed manner. It even sounded a little funny and humorous. However, whenever Lu Chen thought of the situation back then, especially when the two of them became world-shaking Soul Formation Perfected Lords in the future, he felt his scalp tingle. Then, he quickly thought of the huge change in the Kunlun Party a few years ago. On the night of the full moon, only one of the two Soul Formation Perfected Lords survived in the end.
Nowadays, almost no one would talk about the deceased Hakushin Jinkun anymore. After all, the faction he left behind had been wiped out. Even among the three most direct disciples, one was in seclusion and had never seen the light of day, the other defected to the enemy, and the youngest one was left. Now, it seemed like he had become a memorial archway to promote others' good deeds.
"That's why I still don't understand after all this talk. Can you tell me what 'providence' is?" Lu Chen asked him.
Perfected Lord Tianlan thought for a moment and said to him, "It's probably … good luck?"
Lu Chen: "…"
Perfected Lord Tianlan laughed. He seemed to be laughing very happily. Usually, he wouldn't laugh like this. Even if he did, he would laugh in a dignified manner. His laughter would make people admire him, his laughter would shake the world, and his laughter would make everyone tremble in fear.
It was only at this moment, when he was alone with Lu Chen, that he suddenly laughed to his heart's content. He clapped his hands and said, "Who cares. In any case, before my master died, he was also acting mysteriously like 'I'll know when the time comes'. I think it's fine as long as it works."
He looked at Lu Chen and said with a smile, "Over the years, you have helped me do many things, especially when it came to defeating the Devil Cult. You did what others could not. This is fate. Over the years, you have been on the verge of death many times. Others have died, but you have survived. I think this is also fate. Let's talk about the day before yesterday. When the Floating Clouds Company suffered a huge setback and everyone was panicking, you appeared and found the Devil Cult's lair. This is naturally fate!"
Lu Chen was silent for a while and then said, "I remember that you didn't seem to believe in providence before."
"Yes, I didn't believe in providence before. That's all I have now." Perfected Lord Tianlan did not seem to mind as he said indifferently, "However, when I went down to the catacombs and saw that blood moon, I felt that you're truly different from the rest. This luck can only belong to you."
"Blood moon?" Lu Chen was shocked. He thought for a moment and said, "The one on the underground city?"
"Yes."
…
A gentle breeze blew. After the door opened, Perfected Lord Tianlan's huge body walked out. After closing the door, he walked into the courtyard and bathed in the cool breeze. He looked up at the sky.
The blue sky and white clouds were like crystal clear gems.
He quietly gazed into the distance, and after a while, he walked towards the main gate. However, just as he was about to leave the courtyard, he suddenly turned around to look at the room Lu Chen was in, and a complicated expression gradually appeared on his face.
He seemed to be a little happy and gratified, but also a little puzzled. He looked deeply at the door, his eyes as deep as the sea reflecting some light and shadow. After a while, he sighed softly, shook his head slightly and said something to himself in a low voice.
His words were a little vague. Except for himself, no one could hear what he said.
After a while, this world-famous Perfected Lord of the Divine Transformation Realm left. His figure was elegant and his sleeves fluttered. Not long after, he once again came to the long street where something big had happened not long ago.
The crater that had been created by the explosion had already been tightly surrounded by the Floating Clouds Division. Not to mention passing through here, they had even sealed off the entire street.
This was the Immortal City, the headquarters of Zhenxianmeng. Fuyunji was backed by a huge mountain and had great influence. They could do whatever they wanted.
No one dared to block Perfected Lord Tianlan's way. Not long after, he arrived at the side of the huge pit.
Xue Ying was not here today. When the people around saw Perfected Lord Tianlan, they all showed respectful expressions and greeted him.
Perfected Lord Tianlan waved his hand and went down the dark passageway into the underground world.
Compared to the busy, crowded, and austere atmosphere on the surface, this underground cave, especially the strange city, seemed much quieter.
Of course, there were also many people here. They were all people from Fuyunji or other halls in Zhenxianmeng. Every entrance and exit of the tunnel and every suspicious tunnel was guarded. Many people in the huge city were also searching from house to house, trying their best not to miss any clues.
Perfected Lord Tianlan's gaze swept across the busy but orderly scene. Finally, his gaze landed on the strange statue in the center of the city. An old man was sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking up at the blood moon in the sky. He seemed to be in a daze and did not move for a long time.
Perfected Lord Tianlan walked over and sat down next to the Master of Starry Hall, one of the six Perfected Lords of the True Immortal Alliance who was as famous as him. After a while, he asked, "How is it? Did you see anything?"
Perfected Lord Gu Yue did not answer his question immediately. Instead, he continued to stare at the blood moon. After a while, he sighed and said, "I can't believe that our few generations have been wrong. All along, I thought that the blood moon would definitely rise into the night sky outside. Who would have thought that it would appear under our feet without a sound."
Perfected Lord Tianlan shrugged and did not speak.
Perfected Lord Gu Yue looked at him and said, "The person who discovered this place has made a great contribution. This is truly a great contribution. We must reward him well."
Perfected Lord Tianlan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I have my reasons. Now that the blood moon has appeared, how are you going to deal with it? "
Perfected Lord Gu Yue pondered for a while and said, "The true body of the seal is deep underground. It should be fine for the time being. However, this level has been tormented by the trash of the Evil Cult. They even inexplicably added a lot of mechanisms. Therefore, the restrictions here are basically useless. They really can't do anything right but are more than good at spoiling things!"
As he spoke, his face revealed an angry expression.
Perfected Lord Tianlan was not that angry. He smiled and said, "Let it go and deal with it properly."
Perfected Lord Gu Yue was a little surprised. He took another look at him and said, "What's wrong with you today? Why are you in such a good mood?"
Perfected Lord Tianlan thought for a while and said, "I plan to organize a disciple acceptance ceremony. You should come over too. I'll call a few other old fellows …"
Perfected Lord Gu Yue's expression changed and revealed a rare look of surprise. He said, "You … Who's so lucky? He's ascending to the heavens in one step!"
