Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2040 Chapter 976: Auspicious Omen

"The heavenly secrets are vast and cannot be calculated in an instant, yet I can say with certainty that it is an auspicious sign," Elder Master Xun declared firmly.

"Isn't what you just said the same as saying nothing at all?" Linghu Ancestor countered.

Elder Master Xun let out a sigh: "The secrets of heaven are precisely like this—elusive and vague. One must perceive them for oneself. If you understand, you understand; if you do not, then no amount of explanation will make it clear to you."

"You..."

Tai’a Ancestor was left speechless.

The words of Elder Master Xun were frustratingly ambiguous, appearing as though he had spoken much while revealing nothing.

Yet, despite the lack of detail, his words carried a certain weight of truth.

This was because the causality of the heavenly mechanism is indeed profound and mysterious, making it incredibly difficult to grasp. Being able to determine that the outcome was 'auspicious' was already a significant feat.

"Can such a blessing simply appear out of thin air?"

"It is not out of nowhere..." Elder Master Xun’s eyes grew focused.

Elder Ouyang paused before asking, "What is your explanation?"

Elder Master Xun spoke in a deep tone: "This is all due to causality. In the unseen realms, there is a karmic force driving the Unification of our Three Sects, allowing our lineages—separated for thousands of years—to finally rejoin as one."

"This occurrence is no mere coincidence."

"And now, as our three branches become one, Taixu Mountain reveals a divine anomaly. The night turns to day and golden trees bloom in abundance. Does this not prove that the unification of our Three Sects is the righteous path?"

"One day, we may truly restore the ancient glory of our Sect, inherit the will of the Qian Path, and rise as the preeminent Great Sect within the Qian Learning State Boundary!"

Elder Master Xun’s voice brimmed with passion as he painted this grand vision for them.

For a brief moment, the three listeners were truly moved.

"So this is truly... the sign of the Taixu Gate’s revival among the three branches... a genuine omen of good fortune?"

Elder Master Xun nodded his head. "Exactly so."

Elder Ouyang fell into a pensive silence.

Since Elder Master Xun had spoken to such an extent, it was difficult to press him further.

Furthermore, considering that golden, brilliant anomaly was circulating with the power of law, calling it 'auspicious' was not an overstatement.

Elder Master Xun appeared somewhat pale, as if the previous divinations had drained a vast amount of his Divine Sense. Looking exhausted, he couldn't help but let out a tired sigh.

"Old age has finally caught up to me; my spirit is waning. That calculation took a heavy toll..."

Everyone present understood that Elder Master Xun was politely asking them to leave.

It would be rude to continue prying into the matter.

Elder Master Xun was indeed of a great age, and delving into the secrets of the Dao through heavenly deduction consumes an immense amount of Divine Thought.

"Brother Xun, we thank you..."

"We shall not bother you any longer. Please take care of your health."

The three, including Elder Ouyang, exchanged a few polite words before tearing open rifts in the void to depart one after another.

Murong Ancestor was the last to leave. He glanced back at Elder Master Xun, hesitated for a second, and then asked: "Brother, is everything truly alright?"

Elder Master Xun’s expression was guarded as he gave a slight nod. "You may rest easy."

"Very well."

Murong Ancestor nodded in return and vanished using the Void Escape Skill.

As the rift in the void closed, the residence returned to an immediate state of tranquility.

Elder Master Xun exhaled slowly. After a long moment of silence, he couldn't stop himself from whispering internally:

"A mere Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator with a Divine Sense at the Core Formation level... I wonder if these cosmic Divine Thought anomalies were truly triggered by that child..."

Elder Master Xun shook his head slowly.

"I originally believed that kid named Zhuang was already a peerless anomaly, but I never expected his disciple—who seemed so ordinary—to quietly become something so 'frightening'..."

"This specific sect lineage truly only births 'evil monsters'..."

"Furthermore, in terms of generational seniority, the child Mo Hua is the hidden treasure at the very bottom, the final 'evil monster' of them all..."

...

Within the Tai’a Sect.

Following their departure, Elder Ouyang and Linghu Ancestor met once more.

"Auspiciousness... do you think he actually saw that in his deduction?"

"Why do I get the feeling he was just making it up?"

"It is hard to say. We have not studied the causality of the heavenly mechanism, so we can only take him at his word."

"Then what should we do now?"

Linghu Ancestor of the Rushing Void Sect sighed softly: "Let it be."

Elder Ouyang’s brow furrowed. "Are we not going to investigate further?"

Linghu Ancestor shook his head. "The Tai’a Refining Spirit Sword, the Rushing Void Proliferating Sword Qi, and the Tai Xu Sword Intent... since ancient times, the omens of the heavenly secrets have been monitored and handled by the Tai Xu lineage."

"Neither you nor I are specialists in the Dao of Divine Thought."

"If he claims it is auspicious, then so be it."

"Besides, with the Three Sects Unification, we prosper and suffer together. If there is a benefit, we gain; if there is trouble, they cannot escape it either."

Elder Ouyang thought about it for a moment and muttered: "I suppose that is the only way..."

The two ancestors fell silent, lost in their own reflections. After a while, Elder Ouyang spoke with a heavy voice:

"To be honest with you, Brother Linghu, I have felt quite restless lately. I have a sense that soon... something massive is going to happen."

"The current state of affairs is already chaotic. If another major event occurs, it will undoubtedly spark a massive storm. At that time, whether our Sect can even protect itself will be an open question..."

Linghu Ancestor also frowned deeply.

At their level of Cultivation, they occasionally experienced premonitions that felt like 'knowing the mandate of heaven.'

He had frequently been plagued by similar feelings of dread.

This was why seeing the anomalies in the sky had caused such deep unease.

Yet the true meaning of the omen remained a mystery beyond their grasp, and Elder Master Xun was keeping his mouth shut.

Linghu Ancestor pondered for a moment before sighing helplessly: "We must take it one step at a time... let us hope this anomaly is truly a sign of good fortune..."

Elder Ouyang nodded and echoed the sentiment: "Let us hope so."

Even after thinking for a long time, the two ancestors still could not fathom what kind of 'auspicious' secret was truly hidden within the Tai Xu Gate...
