Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 1000 514: Hidden Kill! Ten Great Dangerous Lands!

"Oh?"

The Lord Hall Master cast a glance at Chen Xuan, a flicker of surprise evident in his eyes.

He hadn't anticipated that Chen Xuan could draw benefit from the residual energy of the Yin Yang Ring, even in this place.

This alone was telling of his extraordinarily potent Divine Soul.

"Lord Hall Master."

Chen Xuan addressed him, "This is...?"

"The Yin Yang Ring is the bedrock of our Star Hall, an ancient artifact of immense power. Should you desire it, you may cultivate here for a period; it will undoubtedly prove highly beneficial to your Divine Soul."

The Hall Master spoke with measured calm.

Chen Xuan was taken aback, not expecting such generosity, to be offered the use of such a treasured item.

He then offered a slight bow to the Hall Master, stating, "Thank you, Lord Hall Master, but I find myself pressed for time at the moment."

His immediate focus was on opening his acupoints.

While the benefit to his Divine Soul would be considerable, the urgent task was the improvement of his Sacred Body.

"Hmm!"

The Hall Master gave a slight nod, "Cultivating the Sacred Body is indeed the more fitting course of action."

A faint, wry smile touched Chen Xuan's lips, "Truly, nothing escapes your perception, sir."

Even with his talents concealed and enhanced, they were seen through in an instant!

How terrifying!

"I simply sensed the presence of your acupoints. As for the Sacred Body, I am similarly aware. Beyond that, I cannot discern anything further; your abilities are genuinely impressive."

He then turned his gaze to Zhan Tian, "Congratulations are in order; the Sacred Body finally has a worthy successor."

"He is not my successor!"

"My sincere hope is that Xiaoqi can also cultivate the Sacred Body; that would leave me with no regrets."

His hopes were pinned on Xiaoqi, but Chen Xuan was someone Liu Sheng had entrusted to his care, not a successor of his own line.

"You..."

The Hall Master chuckled softly, then looked towards Xiaoqi, remarking, "Xiaoqi possesses exceptional talent, yet whether he can cultivate the Sacred Body remains a matter of destiny. Compared to this young man..."

He gestured towards Chen Xuan, "Xiaoqi's fortune does not compare in abundance!"

Xiaoqi's future could be vaguely foreseen, but regarding Chen Xuan, no clear path could be perceived.

The only misstep in his lifetime had occurred concerning him.

At times, he found himself intrigued by what methods Chen Xuan employed to obscure his destiny, rendering even the slightest inference impossible.

"Lord Hall Master, I hold faith that Xiaoqi can achieve it."

Zhan Tian expressed disagreement with the Hall Master's assessment; in his eyes, Xiaoqi exhibited even greater potential than Chen Xuan.

Furthermore, he harbored a strong conviction that Xiaoqi would undoubtedly succeed in cultivating the Sacred Body.

"One can only hope!"

The Hall Master had no desire to prolong the discussion, but...

"You should make your preparations; the prevailing situation within Great Yu is quite unfavorable this time!"

"What?"

Zhan Tian's countenance shifted dramatically, "Are you referring to the Stone Cave?"

"Enough questioning; the secrets of the heavens must remain veiled. I still wish to prolong my existence for a few more years!"

The Hall Master was resolute in his silence, and merely offering a reminder to Zhan Tian was already a significant act.

To reveal heavenly secrets was akin to challenging the very fabric of existence. Despite his formidable strength, he was still fundamentally human.

How could a mere mortal contend with the cosmic order?!

"I shall seek an audience with His Majesty!"

Zhan Tian began to depart, but then, "The imperial decree was just issued, and now it is to be rescinded?"

"Are you unaware of the nature of Emperor Yu?"

The Hall Master's words halted Zhan Tian mid-stride.

"Indeed!"

He replied slowly.

Given Emperor Yu's inherent pride and arrogance, how could he possibly retract an order, especially within such a brief timeframe, in a manner that would bring him shame?

Yet... the Stone Cave?

"I am merely offering a caution; certainty regarding the outcome remains elusive. Simply ensure you are prepared."

"Understood. I implore you, Lord Hall Master, to look after Xiaoqi."

With that, he exited the Star Hall.

Even if dealings with Emperor Yu proved fruitless, a discussion with Liu Sheng would be imperative.

After his departure,

"Chaos... who can fathom the toll in lives!"

The Hall Master's expression was etched with a compassionate sorrow.

"Since you foresaw this, Lord Hall Master, why can you not intervene to prevent it?"

Chen Xuan voiced his perplexity.

Was there no potential to avert disaster and save more lives?

"This is the immutable decree of fate!"

"It cannot be altered!"

"Furthermore..." The Hall Master's gaze met his, "Intervention may not yield a favorable result."

"Allowing events to unfold naturally is the way of the cosmos!"

Though presented as an explanation, it only deepened Chen Xuan's confusion.

He found himself utterly unable to comprehend.

"Have you not experienced premonitions before?"

"Wasn't that particular feeling rather unsettling?"

The Hall Master regarded him with a knowing half-smile.

"What?"

The word escaped Chen Xuan's lips involuntarily, his senses suddenly sharpening as he looked intently at the Hall Master.

"Don't be too concerned!"

"It's a lingering scent!"

"You carry a unique aroma from the past; it's impossible for me to miss."

Chen Xuan was astonished.

A scent from the past? Could this mean he had foreseen the events involving the former Marquis Ning, and that it even left a scent?

It was true!

No wonder he was recognized as the foremost Spirit Cultivator in Great Yu; his abilities were truly formidable.

"Finally, allow me to offer you a piece of advice?"

"I am at your service, esteemed sir!"

Chen Xuan regarded him with utmost respect.

"Refrain from attempting to divine the future; your current cultivation is insufficient to withstand the inevitable backlash. As for peering into the past, do so with great caution!"

"I do not know the origin of your skills, but this art of divination goes against the Dao and brings harm to us cultivators!"

"I am grateful for your counsel, Lord Hall Master."

Chen Xuan offered a deep bow.

Reflecting now, he recalled how utterly drained he felt after performing the divination that day. He had initially attributed it to the depletion of his Spiritual Power, but upon further thought, he realized that was not the sole reason.

Three days elapsed.

Xiaoqi achieved a significant breakthrough, advancing in both his Spiritual and Martial cultivation paths.

Furthermore, with the Hall Master's spiritual guidance, he once again entered a state of profound Unity.

This time, Chen Xuan observed with heightened scrutiny.

He attempted to employ his enhanced Telepathy to discern the source of this energy of Unity.

His efforts, however, yielded only disappointment.

"Your eyes possess a remarkable quality."

It was only after Chen Xuan withdrew his Telepathy that the Hall Master finally spoke.

"As do yours, Lord Hall Master."

While he possessed Telepathy, the Hall Master seemed to command truly extraordinary eyes, akin to celestial gems that irresistibly captivated the gaze.
