Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 1060 - 529: His Fate Depends on You! (Part 2)

"Cultivate diligently according to the Hall Master's guidance; Grandpa Zhan wishes to see you reach the pinnacle!"

Zhan Tian's large hand gently caressed his head.

"Sigh!"

The Hall Master let out a sigh and then pointed at Zhan Tian, "Give me a drop of your essence blood!"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Tian did not dare to delay and immediately condensed a drop of essence blood.

The next moment, the essence blood floated above the Hall Master's fingertip.

"Boom boom boom..."

The Yin Yang Ring in mid-air began to spin.

Streams of starlight descended, enveloping the Hall Master.

"The Hall Master is performing a divination!"

Chen Xuan's expression tightened.

Simultaneously, the Hall Master's eyes, resembling stars, suddenly emitted a cascade of colorful lights, and visions flashed before him.

"Hoo—"

A moment later, everything returned to normal. The Hall Master exhaled deeply, his face appearing slightly pale.

"Lord Hall Master..."

"Enough!"

"You have come this far; I cannot simply watch you walk towards your demise, can I?"

"Then...?"

Zhan Tian looked at him with anticipation, eager for the results of the divination.

"You will not die young! That is all, do not inquire further! Speaking too much might alter destiny!"

"Alright, alright, I won't ask!"

Zhan Tian nodded repeatedly.

Ever since he had mentioned venturing into the Blood Cry Realm, a heavy weight had settled in his heart, an oppressive and unusual feeling. However, after hearing the Hall Master's words, it was as if his heart had been bathed in sunlight, suddenly feeling clear.

He then respectfully bowed deeply to the Hall Master, "Thank you, Lord Hall Master!"

"Still, be cautious, do not go seeking death!"

Facing the Hall Master's warning, Zhan Tian immediately replied with a smile, "I understand, Zhan Tian understands!"

"Go!"

Zhan Tian nodded at him and then headed towards the exit.

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan instructed Xiaoqi, "You practice diligently here with Lord Hall Master; I will visit whenever I have the time!"

He then saluted the Hall Master, "Thank you for your trouble, Lord Hall Master."

"No need!"

However, his gaze remained on Zhan Tian until he had departed, after which he spoke, "Zhan Tian's mission is perilous this time; his survival hinges greatly on you!"

"What? Me?!"

Chen Xuan was stunned; his cultivation was at most in the early eighth stage, not even reaching the mid-stage.

How could Zhan Tian's life depend on him!

"Kindly explain, Hall Master."

He knew the Hall Master would not make a mistake, and since that was the case, he certainly could not stand idly by.

"Celestial Eye Forest!"

The Hall Master uttered three words.

But... Chen Xuan remained puzzled about its connection to the Tree-man Race's Celestial Eye Forest. As he was about to ask further.

Suddenly!

A bolt of lightning appeared directly overhead within the hall!

"Boom!"

It struck the Hall Master's forehead instantly!

In a flash!

A blood mark appeared, and Chen Xuan immediately swallowed back his words; this was heavenly retribution upon the Hall Master for revealing celestial secrets.

"Take this!"

He then handed Zhan Tian's essence blood to Chen Xuan, "You have seen it, nothing can be spoken; you must predict it yourself, though I advise against it. Zhan Tian is too formidable for you to handle."

"Seek the answer in Celestial Eye Forest!"

"Yes, Hall Master!"

Chen Xuan secured the essence blood and then departed from the premises.

Within the grand hall, only Xiaoqi and the Hall Master, the elder and the youth, remained.

"Grandpa Hall Master, are you alright?"

Xiaoqi glanced at the blood mark on his forehead, which had stopped bleeding but had not yet healed, though the outline flickered with residual arcs from the lightning strike.

"It's nothing; Grandpa Hall Master is accustomed to such strikes."

The Hall Master chuckled.

He had merely performed a divination for Zhan Tian, a task he could bear.

"Uh...."

Xiaoqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, 'accustomed to being struck'!

Outside Star Hall!

Zhan Tian awaited Chen Xuan in the chariot.

Upon seeing him board, he couldn't wait to ask, "What did the Hall Master say to you?"

"Nothing much."

Seeing Chen Xuan hesitate to speak further, he said helplessly, "Don't ask; the Hall Master was even struck by lightning."

After speaking, he gestured upwards, "Don't worry, if the Hall Master said it's alright, then it must be alright; you surely know his capabilities."

"Then... no more questions."

Zhan Tian knew the Hall Master must have instructed him on something, but seeing Chen Xuan point upwards, he refrained from asking.

Too many inquiries might tamper with fate.

...

The following morning!

After a brief exchange with Liu Sheng, Zhan Tian immediately departed from the Imperial City.

In the small courtyard.

Chen Xuan scanned the heavens, a furrow in his brow, "Celestial Eye Forest... what is the Hall Master truly implying?"

"What troubles you?"

Gu Pengyou drew near, her voice gentle as she inquired.

He had been in this state since yesterday, even neglecting his cultivation.

"It's nothing!"

Chen Xuan offered a smile, deciding his beloved need not be burdened with his concerns.

However, he still intended to venture to the Hidden Forest Abyss, before adding, "I am going to see the Chief Eunuch."

"Alright!"

Gu Pengyou gave a slight nod. "You don't have to tell me if you are unwilling, but please be careful!"

She perceived that Chen Xuan wished to shield them from any potential dangers.

Thus, their role was to offer unwavering support from the periphery.

"You intend to journey to the Hidden Forest Abyss? Why?!"

Liu Sheng shot to his feet the moment he heard this. "Are you unaware of the perilous situation there currently?"

"Duke Qin dispatched numerous individuals, yet none have returned with news, not even a few who were in the eighth Dao Realm."

"Are you seeking to throw your life away there?!"

"Please, calm yourself first."

Chen Xuan gently assisted him to sit back down.

"How can I possibly remain calm? What will become of me if you perish?"

He had, for a long time now, considered Chen Xuan as one of his own, even envisioning him as the future Chief Eunuch.

How could he not be consumed by worry!

"I must go!"

Observing Liu Sheng's distraught expression, Chen Xuan knew an explanation was imperative.

"And why is that?"

Liu Sheng was perplexed; why was this journey so essential for him? Who was compelling him?

"The Hall Master's divination indicated that Elder Zhan's fate is intertwined with the Celestial Eye Forest!"
