Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2199: 593 (2)

"Fourth Rank Divination Master!?"

Utilizing the profound power of heavenly secrets, Lu Changsheng deduced that the Pinghai Monarch and his companions had summoned a Fourth Rank Divination Master for their calculations.

"As expected of a Nascent Soul Cultivator with extensive influence..."

Fourth Rank Divination Masters were exceptionally rare, not only within the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm but even across the vast Starry Sky Sea.

"Could it be a Diviner from the Seven Sects of the Ocean, or perhaps the Star Moon Palace?"

Lu Changsheng mused internally.

While most major powers would typically recruit or nurture their own Diviners,

based on Lu Changsheng's assessment, it was improbable that the Pinghai Monarch would approach a Diviner from the Seven Sects of the Ocean; another expert was more likely.

The most celebrated Diviner in the Starry Sky Sea was the Star Moon Palace, renowned for its mastery of divination arts.

"Typically, a Fourth Rank Divination Master would hesitate to deplete their lifespan to assist others in deciphering heavenly secrets."

"Even if they could divine the location of the Spiritual Whale in the Great Dream Marsh, they would unlikely agree to such a request readily."

Lu Changsheng contemplated this, his confidence in his Heavenly Mechanism Technique unwavering.

Unless the Fourth Rank Divination Master was prepared to sacrifice their own vitality, there was no conceivable way they could accurately divine the situation concerning Lu Lingjing and himself.

Most Fourth Rank Divination Masters held the status of Nascent Soul True Lords and were not easily compelled,

thus they would not squander their lifespan on arbitrary divination and calculations for others.

"Nonetheless, delaying this matter further is akin to leaving a ticking time bomb unattended."

Lu Changsheng's gaze deepened, the intricate web of heavenly secrets appearing to manifest within his eyes, revealing the intertwined fates of the Sea Splitting Mystic Dragon Whale and the Kunpeng Egg, coalescing into an aura of impending calamity.

"Xiao He, Daddy will take you to find the Spiritual Whale."

After a brief period of reflection, Lu Changsheng resolved to investigate the circumstances surrounding the Sea Splitting Mystic Dragon Whale, aiming to counteract this celestial foreboding.

"Mmm-hmm."

Lu Linghe cast a glance at the Kunpeng Egg situated beside her, then followed Lu Changsheng out of the Tianyuan Lotus. They quietly reached Mysterious Whale Island by means of the Michen Banner.

....

The Star Moon Palace, perched upon the Starfall Islands amidst the vast expanse of the ocean.

The main palace structure, resembling a colossal star core, emanated a profound starlight. It floated within the sea of clouds, surrounded by luminous beams from thirteen towering islands, all brilliantly reflected in the waters below and the heavens above, creating a breathtaking spectacle.

At this precise moment, a man clad in an ornate blue robe embroidered with oceanic patterns, his eyes as deep and fathomless as the sea itself, emerged from the Star Moon Palace.

A heavy gloom settled upon his features, and his fists, buried within sleeves adorned with layered wave motifs, clenched so tightly that veins bulged on his hands, starkly betraying his agitated state of mind.

The sea wind howled, whipping his robe and sending his hair into a wild dance.

After pausing for a moment, the Pinghai Monarch stepped forward, appearing to dissolve into the boundless sea, vanishing from sight.

Meanwhile, within the hallowed halls of the Star Moon Palace,

a boy of twelve or thirteen years, possessing a deceptively charming and wicked countenance, his eyes swirling like distant nebulae, was seated opposite a mysterious and regal woman whose skin was as pale as the moon, her eyes obscured by a delicate veil of gauze.

"Star King, what are your thoughts on this?"

The woman was attired in a flowing, sky-blue robe with sleeves as expansive as drifting clouds. Her long, azure hair was elegantly styled and secured with nine jade hairpins. Her voice carried no discernible trace of joy or sorrow.

The boy, addressed as Star King, held the esteemed position of one of the two Hall Masters of the Star Moon Palace, the preeminent force within the entire Starry Sky Sea!

The boy's gaze was profound, and the corners of his thin lips curved into a cold, sardonic smile. "How else could I possibly perceive it? Merely a coincidence, nothing more."

"According to the ancestor's accounts, when the Sun, Moon, and Star Palace was breached, the lineage of the East Emperor was annihilated by the Demon Race. How could any Great Sun Treasure possibly remain hidden out there?"

"Moon Venerate, you do not genuinely believe that the Sun Divine Light mentioned by Pinghai originated from the East Emperor lineage, nor do you wish to assist this individual in restoring the Sun, Moon, and Star Palace, do you?"

The boy addressed the woman with gauze-covered eyes, whose flowing skirt billowed around her like blooming mandala flowers, in a chilling tone.

Not long prior, the Pinghai Monarch, representing the Seven Sects of the Ocean, had journeyed to their Star Moon Palace, extending an invitation to him and the Moon Venerate for divination calculations.

Despite their usual reluctance to perform calculations for outsiders, the Pinghai Monarch had presented an exceptionally generous offer, even pledging a favor in return. Consequently, the two had agreed.

The divination process itself had been fraught with confusion, characterized by indistinct and cryptic heavenly secrets, and met with significant resistance. This prompted them to seek further clarification from the Pinghai Monarch, who served as their intermediary.

It was at that juncture they received astonishing news directly from the Pinghai Monarch himself.

The Pinghai Monarch had implored them to divine the whereabouts of an individual possessing a supreme treasure capable of unleashing Sun Divine Light across the boundless void!

Much information was deliberately kept from Pinghai Monarch by both him and Moon Venerate. They stated that the individual possessed treasures which could conceal heavenly secrets, and furthermore, had the backing of supreme Divination Masters.

However, by meticulously following the current clues, the expenditure of time and effort would eventually yield results.

After Pinghai Monarch departed, the pair could not refrain from analyzing the supreme treasure that had the ability to emit the Sun Divine Light.

"Furthermore, the ancestral prophecy declared, ’The Great Sun ascends in the Eastern Sea, where Fusang resides, and the Starry Sky Sea shall belong to the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm.’"

Star King’s voice continued, elaborating, "Even if the East Emperor were to reincarnate or a successor were to emerge, it would occur within the Eastern Sea Cultivation Realm, not the Starry Sky Sea!"

"If that is the situation, then we shall simply observe and await further developments."

Moon Venerate’s gaze, obscured by a veil, seemed like finely woven threads. The crystal adorning her forehead pulsed with illusory ripples, her expression devoid of any discernible joy or sorrow.

Having cultivated side-by-side for centuries, she was intimately aware of Star King’s true thoughts – his unwillingness to submit as a vassal to the Great Sun lineage.

It wasn’t just Star King; she too felt a reluctance to adhere strictly to the ancestral words and offer aid to this unknown East Emperor.

At the very least, she needed to personally meet this so-called "East Emperor".

Otherwise, as their master had warned, the Sun, Moon, and Star Palace, once a dominant power within the Eastern Sea and protected by a Deity of Transformation, had ultimately been annihilated.

Both she and Star King possessed mere Nascent Soul cultivation. A rash decision to assist the East Emperor in reclaiming the Eastern Sea Cultivation Realm could lead to their own annihilation by the ancient adversaries of the Sun, Moon, and Star Palace.

...

Mysterious Whale Island.

Lu Changsheng sensed the mysterious heavenly powers fading away. He realized his suspicions were correct; they had not probed too deeply with their calculations.
