The Book of Lives, the Heavenly Book Scholar!
Xiao Chen thought to himself, As the saying goes, the mysteries of heaven cannot be revealed. Is he really that divine?
Speaking of which, the Dragon Seeking Art that Xiao Chen once cultivated and the Divination Dao both belonged to the Profound Dao.
Xiao Chen believed in divination of the mysteries of heaven.
Xiao Chen, who had reached the peak of the Kunlun Realm, had already touched upon the Kunlun Heavenly Dao. From there, he could see some of the mysteries of heaven and see the future, such as his fight with Chu Chaoyun.
However, even if he knew, many things could not be avoided. This was how fate worked.
Xiao Chen did not believe in fate. However, sometimes, fate could not be avoided.
"How is it? Have you thought it through?"
Jiang He looked at Xiao Chen, revealing a look of desire in his eyes. He really hoped that Xiao Chen would go with him.
"Let's go, then."
Xiao Chen thought, The little monk has mentioned this person several times. There is no harm in meeting him. "
"Let's go."
It looked like Jiang He was already impatient to leave.
The Heavenly Mystery Tower was a famous building in Soaring Dragon City. After leaving the inn, one could see the towering tower in the distance when they looked up.
The tower's tip pierced the clouds, and a resplendent pearl was embedded at the top. The pearl gave off electric light in all directions, adding to its mysteriousness.
Xiao Chen casually waved, and the Cycle War Chariot appeared. Then, it turned into a black chariot and quickly carried the two to their destination.
While the chariot looked very close, when they actually walked, they had to cross several streets.
The chariot traveled for one hour before finally arriving near the Heavenly Mystery Tower.
Even with the Cycle War Chariot's speed, they still had to travel for another hour. However, they still had not left this area.
This showed how vast Soaring Dragon City was, somewhat inconceivably large.
When the two got off the chariot, they discovered that the Heavenly Mystery Tower's doors were tightly shut. However, a large group of people gathered in front of the tower.
These were probably all people who wanted to meet the Heavenly Book Scholar.
Jiang He rubbed his chin and said, "This is unfortunate. The Heavenly Mystery Tower is actually closed. Is there any other way in? "
Jiang He looked around as if he did not want to take the usual route.
Xiao Chen stopped him and said, "There seems to be something in front of the door. These people should be looking at it."
"Is that so? Go over and take a look. Make way, make way. "
Jiang He squeezed in without saying a word, and those who were pushed away were furious. Still, as the saying goes, one does not slap a smiling face. Hence, Jiang He smiled apologetically, and hence led Xiao Chen to the front of the crowd.
"It's a notice!"
There was a notice pasted on the door. It was very simple and clear: Honored guests are here today. The Heavenly Book Scholar will not see outsiders. The Heavenly Mystery Tower will open at dusk.
Xiao Chen looked up at the sky. It was not noon yet. If they waited until dusk, they would have to wait for more than half a day.
"What distinguished guest? Even if you do not want to meet the Heavenly Book Scholar, you can meet the other fortune-tellers. Why do you have to close your doors? This is really strange. "
"Perhaps it really is an esteemed guest who has arrived and does not want others to know his identity. There is no lack of such major characters in Soaring Dragon City."
"Could it be someone from the Marquis's Residence?"
When they saw the notice, the people from all over started talking all at once.
If it was a distinguished guest, there was naturally no one in Soaring Dragon City who had a more distinguished status than the people in the Marquis's Mansion.
However, that was hard to say. There were many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Yanwu Dynasty.
Who knew who it was, coming from afar to seek an audience with the Heavenly Book Scholar?
There had been such examples in the past.
"Come out first."
Jiang He led Xiao Chen out and arrived at a desolate place. Then, he stared at the Heavenly Mystery Tower and entered deep thought.
Xiao Chen observed Jiang He's expression and said, "You can't be thinking of sneaking in, right?"
Jiang He retorted boldly, "Of course. In my plan, I have already taken into account such a situation. When an esteemed guest arrives, it is the time to focus on divination. To me, this is a heaven-sent opportunity. "
Xiao Chen shook his head, not thinking much of it.
Just by looking at this Heavenly Mystery Tower, one would feel that it was not simple. Aside from the doors, there were no other entrances.
The walls of the tower were tightly sealed, not leaving any gaps or even windows.
It was basically impossible to sneak in without anyone noticing.
Furthermore, it was currently daytime. There were many people nearby, making it even more difficult.
"How are you going to enter?"
"Of course, by walking in openly."
Jiang He smiled mysteriously. Then, he took out a talisman and handed it to Xiao Chen. "I found this in an ancient grave. I do not know which epoch it is from, but there are only three of them. They can temporarily immaterialize your body for fifteen minutes. That should be enough for us to enter. "
After receiving the talisman, Xiao Chen felt slightly shocked. "Your talisman is no less valuable than the folding fan in his hand. Is it worth it?"
"That folding fan is the Heavenly Book Scholar's lifeblood. To me, the talisman is just a tool that I can casually give away. There is no comparison between the two. "
Jiang He stuck the talisman on his body. Then, Xiao Chen immediately discovered that Jiang He vanished from before his eyes.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen used his Soul Energy to activate the talisman and stuck it on his body as well.
He thought to himself, Using such a precious item like this is truly a waste.
Only someone like Jiang He, who did not care about anything, could be so calm.
"Let's go."
Although Xiao Chen could not see the other party, he could hear Jiang He's voice projection. He pressed forward courageously, passing through the crowd and going through the door.
The immaterialized two easily passed through the door riddled with restrictions, not causing any commotion.
"Let's be faster. The Heavenly Book Scholar has been performing divination on the eighth floor."
The talisman only lasted for fifteen minutes. They had to hurry. Otherwise, it would be problematic if they were exposed midway. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
The two moved quickly, passing through many restrictions and moving under the watchful eyes of many experts.
His movements were unimpeded, and he was advancing at a much faster pace than he had expected.
This saved them a lot of time and brought them to the eighth floor.
"It's in the west."
"Go straight, go straight, turn left, turn right … we arrived."
It looked like Jiang He was very familiar with the situation here. In less than fifteen minutes, Xiao Chen and Jiang He arrived at the room where the Heavenly Book Scholar performed divination.
Two plain wooden doors stood ajar at the end of the path.
Strange. Aren't we going to meet an honored guest?
Why is there no one guarding the room? Why is there no sound coming from inside?
Xiao Chen felt curious. His immaterialized body passed through the wooden doors and arrived at the Heavenly Book Scholar's room.
The furnishings in the room gave off an ancient charm, looking very elegant.
There was a white piece of paper spread out on the desk, and a maidservant was grinding it. Beside her was a white-robed scholar, who was fanning himself with his eyes closed.
There was no one on the opposite chair.
Xiao Chen wondered if the honored guest had already left or if the honored guest had never been here.
"Sit!"
The white-clad scholar suddenly said, revealing a smile on his delicate and pale face as he raised his head to look at Xiao Chen.
"You can see me?"
This startled Xiao Chen when he heard that. There was still a long way to go before the time limit was up.
"Why can't I see you?"
The white-clad scholar closed the folding fan in his hand and revealed a playful expression.
"Ghostly Shadow Bandit, where are you trying to run?!" "Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
Ten-odd experts suddenly appeared in the originally empty room, blocking Xiao Chen's path.
"Humph! You did not expect such a day to come, right? Jiang He? The Heavenly Book Scholar foresaw that you would walk right into our trap today. "
"Hand over my Smiling Daughter Pavilion's Fairy Basket!"
"And my Sun Moon Pavilion's Holy Sky Treasure Mirror!"
"And my Jiang Clan's Clan Head's Jade Underworld Sword. That is the only Soul Tool of my Jiang Clan!"
The ten-odd people all felt indignant at this injustice, their rage unquenchable. The murderous intent in their eyes nearly spewed out as flames.
Damn it! I got tricked.
From the start to the end, there were no honored guests. It was just the Heavenly Book Scholar setting up the trap for Jiang He, having predicted that he would come today.
However, the one who tricked Xiao Chen was Jiang He.
The Heavenly Book Scholar had tampered with the talisman he gave to Xiao Chen. Before the time limit was up, the effects vanished.
Xiao Chen said calmly, "I am not Jiang He. I am Xiao Chen!"
"Haha! Who does not know that Xiao Chen is Jiang He and Jiang He is Xiao Chen? Ghostly Shadow Bandit, when you stole my clan's Jade Underworld Sword, didn't you use Xiao Chen's name? "
One of the old men holding a sword looked coldly at Xiao Chen, showing a mocking expression.
"With the Heavenly Book Scholar here today, no matter how flawless your disguise is, you can forget about quibbling!"
"Hurry up and hand over the treasures you stole."
"I can sense that my Smiling Daughter Pavilion's Fairy Basket is indeed in his hands!"
Just at this moment, a pretty woman in her prime looked at Xiao Chen while holding the Fairy Basket. She could no longer hold back her murderous intent.
Good! This is great! There is no way for me to explain myself. White is black.
Xiao Chen turned around and looked at the Heavenly Book Scholar. Then, he said, "Since you are known as the Book of Accounts, knowing everything, why don't you make a divination? Am I Jiang He?"
Right now, Xiao Chen could only rely on the Heavenly Book Scholar. He hoped that the other party was reliable.
From the start to the end, the white-clad scholar did not say anything. However, some doubt appeared in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Chen.
"You still need to make a divination? If you are not the Ghostly Shadow Bandit, how are you going to explain the Fairy Basket in your hand?! The Fairy Basket of my Smiling Daughter Pavilion's branch is just a replica. The feeling from the original in my hand cannot be fake! "
That pretty woman in her prime spoke in an incredibly forceful manner, looking like she wanted to take down Xiao Chen on the spot.
When the others heard this, their killing Qi intensified. They all looked at Xiao Chen with extremely hostile gazes.
"Everyone, there is no need to be in such a rush. Once he enters the Heavenly Mystery Tower, he will be like a turtle in a jar. He will not be able to escape."
The Heavenly Book Scholar said slowly, "Whether he is or not, I will know once I make a divination."
Right after the Heavenly Book Scholar spoke, stars flickered in his eyes. He held the fan in his right hand and performed divination with his left.
As the Heavenly Book Scholar executed his divination, the white paper on the table slowly floated up.
Xiao Chen's expression changed slightly. He felt like he could no longer hide any secrets before this pair of eyes.
A mysterious energy invisibly encased Xiao Chen's body.
Stars flickered in the Heavenly Book Scholar's eyes, looking like the vast and boundless Starry Heavens. Stars were continuously destroyed before being reborn. It was like the supreme principles of the universe were all in the Heavenly Book Scholar's eyes.
"It's really him!"
Someone suddenly exclaimed. The white paper floating in the air slowly revealed a portrait of a person.
It was the portrait of Jiang He when Xiao Chen first met him.
This stunned Xiao Chen. How can this be? How can I not know who I am?
That's not right!
Suddenly, the Heavenly Book Scholar's expression changed slightly. Someone had secretly tampered with the aura of the person before him.
However, the Heavenly Book Scholar was horrified to discover a horrifying existence in this person's fate. It was unfathomable and unfathomable.
The Heavenly Book Scholar wanted to stop, but it was already too late.
"Pu ci!" The Heavenly Book Scholar vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted.
"Young Master!" The maidservant at the side showed an anxious expression.
The portrait floating in the air burned and turned into ashes.
"Take him down! He wants to attack the Heavenly Book Scholar!"
The situation instantly worsened. Ten-odd Holy Venerates launched themselves at Xiao Chen at the same time.
