A Long Grind to Daoist Monarch

Chapter 407 - 247: I’m a Genius, Heaven-Sent Opportunity (Part 3)

One of them is an overseas fierce dragon, the other an earth head serpent.

Adding the two Daoist officials stationed at the County City, the White Sun Sect, which has not yet shown any traces, and the Four Reversals Sect lurking everywhere, a storm seems to be brewing.

"Small temple, big demon wind; shallow pond, many turtles."

Zhu Mingyu said intriguingly, shifting his gaze in the direction of the Nu Yun River, as Chunyu Cultivator, wielding the Divine Soldier, the Nanming Li Fire Sword, suddenly arrived at Yihai Prefecture.

Is it really just for the White Sun Sect?

...

...

"The White Sun Sect... what exactly is the Master’s true identity?"

In the backyard of the Inheritance Hall, as Bai Qi finished practicing, the ink talisman shook repeatedly, revealing lines of clear, increasing progress.

His erect posture sat cross-legged in the pavilion at the heart of the lake, with the misty water vapor swirling into fog, a rhythm like a funnel spinning, vibrating continuously.

He caressed the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant on his right hand, letting the Human Soul Pearl record the route of the cultivation technique’s flow.

Then, multitasking, he took out the "Ascension Order" acquired during a treasure hunt in the mountains with Qi Yan and Lv Nan from the old fraud Zhou Sheng who pretended to be from Maoshan.

It was this item that drew the hidden surveillance of someone claiming to be the White Sun Sect Leader, Chen Yin.

"Both surnamed Chen, could they be brothers? Did the Master not want to rebel, colluding with his brother, thus becoming enemies and going separate ways, or did both fall for the same woman, with the Master unable to bear familial strife..."

Bai Qi, idly speculating out of boredom, figured how many people surnamed Chen exist in the world, how could it be such a coincidence.

Moreover, he had inquired from Qi Yan and Lv Nan that White Sun Sect Leader Chen Yin was a lone star of great calamity, with both parents’ origins mysterious, said to be a forsaken infant without kin or ties.

"Why is there no reaction? Speaking of which, why does an item of the Four Reversals Sect attract the White Sun Sect Leader?"

Bai Qi weighed it back and forth, doubts sprouting in his heart.

No matter how he poured his thoughts into it, this thing remained inert.

"Ah Qi, where did you get the Ascension Order of the Four Reversals Sect? This object is spread everywhere, passed on to heterodox loose cultivators as ’immortal fate,’ but it’s actually a disaster."

Chen Xing walked over slowly, feigning surprise upon noticing the iron order Bai Qi was playing with.

His disappointing stepson, Chen Ye, had a similar but differently styled "Ascension Order."

Even the Reception Hall of the Four Reversals Sect set up in Yihai Prefecture was obliterated by Chen Yin under his command, erasing all traces.

"I once encountered an old charlatan pretending to be a Maoshan inheritor..."

Bai Qi truthfully explained, handing the iron order to the Master in passing.

"This item holds the location of the Inner Scenic Land, and divine soul thoughts can be guided by it to traverse the void.

People usually don’t know its background, so it’s very easy to be misled into thinking they’ve stumbled upon an immortal fate and gained inheritance."

Chen Xing pretended to examine it for a moment, then suddenly enlightened, recalling the arrangement with Chen Yin to nurture Bai Qi as the next Little Daoist Kou Qiuyue, shifted the topic:

"However, there are also those with deep luck and blessed fortune who happen to be guided to other places, such as some Grotto Heaven Blessed Land, mountain gate remnants, and the like.

Your master and that rogue Qiu Changtian have had similar encounters quite a lot."

Bai Qi’s eyes lit up; could this protagonist-like fortune from a storybook fall upon him?

Considering that Master Bai Qi is also a one-in-a-million peerless talent, even the County Daoist Official praised him as a remarkable genius!

"The Master has already cleared the Four Reversals Demon Sect’s aura from within; you need not worry."

Chen Xing tossed the Ascension Order back, exchanged a few pleasantries, and suddenly departed.

"Fortune... favored son... blessed fortune... could it be referring to me?"

As Bai Qi’s thoughts soared, a wisp of divine soul thought entwined with the iron order, followed by a loud "buzzing" by his ear, like a copper bell resonating, shaking his spirit.

In the intangible void, it seemed there was a portal about to open, ushering him in.

"It really is me! Heaven indeed hasn’t turned a blind eye!"
