Who was it?
The World Society had unified the northern martial arts world a few years ago, and it seemed that it was going to conquer the world. Who could make a martial arts sect rise so quickly?
Seeing Huo Butian's astonished expression, Ye Xuan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip slowly. He didn't intend to hide it and said with a faint smile, "This person is the Clay Bodhisattva who is known as the Fortune Teller in the Jianghu!"
"Clay Bodhisattva?!" Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Huo Butian wasn't shocked. Instead, he frowned and said, "Please forgive my stupidity, but the Clay Bodhisattva is just a fortune teller in the Jianghu. How can it help the World Society to conquer the world?"
People in the Jianghu were usually dubious about fortune tellers, and chivalrous people like Huo Butian didn't believe in the words of fortune tellers in the Jianghu at all. ↓, ↓
Ye Xuan believed in fortune tellers because there were immortals in this world, and fortune tellers were nothing to him. For example, in Wind and Cloud, there were Vairocana, Goddess Nvywa, Cangjie, Yu the Great, Xiao Sanxiao, Sakra, Ling Daoyang, and a Clay Bodhisattva who could foretell the future to a certain extent.
However, Ye Xuan was also dubious about these people who could foretell the future to a certain extent. Although these people could foretell the future to a certain extent, there were countless changes in the future. Even a different thought could create a different future. For example, if he were a fortune teller in Wind and Cloud, he could foretell the future 500 years and the future 1,000 years. But so what? This could only happen if he didn't interfere. Just like what happened just now, if he hadn't interfered, the Huo Village had already been destroyed according to the "Fortune Teller". The current Huo Village had already been destroyed according to the "Heavenly Secrets", but because he knew about the "Heavenly Secrets" and interfered, the Huo Village had already left the original "future". Perhaps at some point in the future, the Huo Village would once again be destroyed due to certain events. But its fate had indeed been changed according to the "Fortune Teller".
Therefore, the saying that "man can conquer nature" was indeed true to a certain extent. Of course, the premise was that one had to be able to foresee the "mysteries of heaven" in advance. Otherwise, how could one know if one had changed one's destiny or if one was merely advancing according to the original history?
"I know that Manor Master Huo might not believe the words of these Jianghu magicians. However, there are some things that one would rather believe than not. In my opinion, the reason why the World Gathering could sweep through the world today is because of the Jianghu. Xiong Ba is indeed talented and bold, but it has nothing to do with the layout of the World Meeting that the Clay Bodhisattva arranged for him and the Luck that he gathered. "Faced with Huo Butian's question, Ye Xuan voiced out his thoughts.
To be honest, the Clay Bodhisattva was a mighty tyrant. The so-called fate saying "success is due to the wind and clouds, failure is due to the wind and clouds" might as well be changed to "success is due to the Clay Bodhisattva, failure is due to the Clay Bodhisattva!"
Throughout Xiong Ba's life … Ever since the World Gathering found the Clay Bodhisattva, Xiong Ba's life had been unknowingly controlled by the Clay Bodhisattva. Everything was decided according to the so-called "mysteries of heaven" of the Clay Bodhisattva. From the layout of the World Gathering to the saying "How can a golden unicorn stay in a pond? Once it meets the wind and clouds, it will transform into a dragon", the Clay Bodhisattva gave the birth times of Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun to Xiong Ba so that Xiong Ba could train Feng and Yun. The Clay Bodhisattva didn't give the latter part to Xiong Ba because it wasn't the right time yet. Ten years later, when Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng had mastered martial arts, the Dragon Roar of the Nine Heavens Shocking Change was created. The saying "the wind and clouds meet in shallow water" made Xiong Ba want to kill Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun. He even used Kong Ci to drive a wedge between his three disciples. In the end, Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun, and even his first disciple, Qin Shuang, betrayed him.
Speaking of which, the Clay Bodhisattva was indeed the hidden boss in Wind and Cloud 1. It was he who directed the show of Wind and Cloud dominating the world.
"Luck?" Huo Butian was skeptical about luck. "I didn't expect the Clay Bodhisattva to have such abilities. I've underestimated the people of the world."
"Hehe!" Hearing Huo Butian's attitude, Ye Xuan smiled faintly and continued, "Village Master Huo, have you heard that Xiong Ba's people have been putting up notices everywhere recently? They are looking for two children with a specific birth time and eight characters and want to take them as disciples."
Huo Butian was shocked when he heard Ye Xuan mention this. His expression changed, and he could not help but look at Ye Xuan. Seeing that Ye Xuan was drinking his tea as if nothing had happened, the boulder in his heart was slightly relieved. He hurriedly picked up his tea and took a sip to suppress the surprise in his heart. "I have heard about this. May I know why Mr. Ye suddenly mentioned this?"
Judging from Huo Butian's reaction, he should have known that Bu Jingyun was one of the disciples that Xiong Ba was looking for. However, Ye Xuan didn't plan to expose him. He continued with a smile, "As far as I know, Xiong Ba recruited disciples in such a big way because he believed in the words of the Clay Bodhisattva. The Clay Bodhisattva said to Xiong Ba, 'Golden scales are not ordinary creatures; they will turn into dragons in the face of wind and cloud'. The golden scales refer to Xiong Ba, and the so-called 'wind and cloud' refer to two people with great luck. If Xiong Ba could recruit these two people as his disciples, he would be invincible in the first half of his life!"
"What?!" After hearing Ye Xuan's words, Huo Butian, who had been sitting calmly in the armchair, suddenly stood up. He even accidentally swept away the teacup next to his hand.
"I've made a fool of myself in front of Young Master Ye. I've lost my composure after hearing those words!" However, he immediately regained his composure. He suppressed the shock in his heart and asked the servants to clean up the broken teacup on the ground. Then, he sat down and cupped his hands to express his apology. He then asked, "Could it be that Xiong Ba has found these two people as his disciples? Could he really unify the martial arts world?"
"True and false, false and true. It doesn't matter if others believe it or not. Anyway, Xiong Ba must believe it." Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile. He did not give Huo Butian an answer to his question like he did before.
After listening to Ye Xuan's words, Huo Butian became silent. His heart was in turmoil and his expression kept changing. After a while, he finally calmed down and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Young Master Ye. I was thinking about something just now and got distracted."
"Unguarded." Ye Xuan smiled and waved his hand. He didn't mind Huo Butian's distraction at all. He knew that Huo Butian was distracted because he was thinking about how to protect Bu Jingyun or Huo Jingjue from Xiong Ba.
"By the way, Young Master Ye, are you really going to Tianshan to meet Xiong Ba in a month's time?" Huo Butian didn't correct the previous topic and asked again.
