School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 2300 - 2386: Secret
Previously on School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master...
At the moment when Chen Nan frowned, a voice reached his ear, it was Su Qingqing’s voice, "Big dumb, you forgot, I told you before that the Heavenly Evil Emperor had instructed me, saying that there is a master of divination in the Hundred Clan Domain, called the Ziwei Taoist, who appears only once every thousand years, specializing in divination for those destined."
Chen Nan slapped his forehead, "Hehe, lass, if you didn’t remind me, I really almost forgot. No wonder I felt very familiar when I saw the four characters ’Ziwei Taoist’. Turns out that’s what it is. But as for the destined ones, I don’t believe in that. I’ve searched for a thread of life countless times between life and death, and it’s not just relying on luck."
Chen Nan chuckled and said.
Upon hearing Chen Nan’s words, Su Qingqing also nodded inside the Haotian Tower.
"Whether a martial artist, a cultivator, a magician, or the Demon Clan, everyone is pursuing a breakthrough beyond limitations, to defy the heavens. I also don’t quite believe in the notion of destiny. But, since the Heavenly Evil Emperor knows this person, does he have some connection to the Heavenly Evil Emperor?" Su Qingqing slightly furrowed her brows.
Chen Nan nodded, "That’s also possible. We don’t know much about the Heavenly Evil Emperor; his strength is unfathomable. Even now that I’ve broken through to the Supreme King Realm, I don’t have absolute confidence to be his opponent. If this Ziwei Taoist knows him, we might be able to find out some information."
Chen Nan laughed.
At this moment, not far away, the Ziwei Taoist saw Chen Nan and his group also stopped.
He stared at Chen Nan, as if trying to see through something. Chen Nan could clearly feel that this person didn’t have any divine power, just a regular person. Yet, his eyes seemed to completely see through him.
Chen Nan was extremely shocked inside. After promoting to Supreme King, not even the elder of the Shadow Sect, who was at the peak of Little Heavenly Position, could see through his strength. Yet now, here’s a person without any cultivation, seeing him so thoroughly.
Chen Nan strode toward the Taoist’s side.
He felt a very special aura on the Taoist.
"You have finally arrived!"
This Taoist was dressed in Qing Yi, his figure hunched, his eyes devoid of any divine spirit. To express his state accurately, one could say this person’s mental state was like a dog’s.
Yet, the lack of divine spirit in his eyes made Chen Nan feel uncomfortable all over.
This person seemed on the verge of dying, both his body and divine soul were about to collapse, yet holding the Dao Flag, he seemed to merge with it.
"Are you, senior..."
Chen Nan, though already knowing, deliberately asked.
"Once, I prophesied for a person, told him to pass on a message if he met someone later, that I, Ziwei Taoist, was waiting to divine for him. That person had a mortal name called Heavenly Evil Emperor, if you know him, you should know my name."
This hunched Taoist spoke with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"That was a very pitiful person, but you are even more pitiful. However, I, the old Taoist, do not wish to see you remain so pitiful, so I came to give you guidance. If there’s any doubt in your heart, feel free to speak, I can offer you some guidance."
Ziwei Taoist spoke.
"Hehe, doubt, I really do not have too much doubt." Chen Nan chuckled as he shook his head. This person’s aura was too special, he had to be on guard. When he was in the mortal world, he had encountered countless fortune tellers, those people mostly spoke of some uncertain vague matters. Although such words, if positive, were great, but if used to discourage, they could directly impact a normal person’s state of mind.
For ordinary people, the state of mind is important, for cultivators like them, the Dao is important. If the Taoist’s words are inaccurate then so be it, but if accurate, it could create unnecessary trouble.
Humans are fearful of an unknown future, which is why they are filled with hope, having goals for constant striving.
Thus, Chen Nan directly refused the Ziwei Taoist.
True foresight lies in its ability to precisely calculate everything, if this person were to dig a pit within his Dao Heart, one day he might come knocking and shovel some things in, at which point, no matter how strong his cultivation, he wouldn’t escape the few words affecting his Dao Heart.
"Every thousand years I appear once, each time waiting for one person. This opportunity is extremely precious, are you sure?"
Ziwei Taoist faced Chen Nan’s refusal without anger, continued speaking.
Chen Nan shook his head, "Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, with changes even within reincarnation, not even the Heavenly Dao can control everything. As a member of the Human Clan, why does senior have to be so persevering?"
"I have doubts in my heart, but these doubts I will gradually unravel over time." Chen Nan’s heart was as steady as Mount Tai, unfazed by enticements.
Ziwei Taoist scrutinized him seriously, quickly shifted his gaze.
"You are a clever person; you fear my words might influence your Dao Heart. Are you really not curious about many things? For instance, why your grandmaster chose to resolve himself as a soldier years ago, what fate binds you and your grandmaster, your past life... and that aura within chaotic time-space..."
Ziwei Taoist spoke.
Neither rushed nor slow, every word was exceptionally clear, entering Chen Nan’s ear.
This sentence, though not long, left Chen Nan extremely shocked.
The grandmaster’s decision for soldier resolution back then, there must be a great secret within that. Otherwise, his strength had reached the Domain Master Realm, perhaps even ventured to the Great World, yet the final choice of soldier resolution was truly baffling.
"Old Taoist, you are here to deliberately fool me, aren’t you? If I asked you about these things, you’ll eventually reveal some secrets, thus planting a Heart Demon seed within me, one day when I encounter you again, you’ll just need a few words to break my Dao Heart. Do you think I’m a fool?" Chen Nan laughed.
No harm to others, vigilance against harm from others shouldn’t be absent.
How could his heart not understand such matters?
"Actually, I, the old Taoist, was once a pitiful person too. So, every thousand years, I appear in the Hundred Clan Domain to guide those pitiful like me. Back then, the Heavenly Evil Emperor was just like this. In these tens of thousands of years, I’ve never faced refusal before, you are the first person. Actually, I understand, you now are smooth sailing, never hitting a bottleneck, hence are proud and arrogant. You believe I, the old Taoist, have come to destroy the future strong ones in the Hundred Clan Domain. That’s looking down on me too much."
Ziwei Taoist looked at Chen Nan with changing sorrowful eyes.
