Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi went into seclusion soon after.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuan, Shen Xu, and the others exited the space, reappearing in the Dongfang couple’s small courtyard.

"Are we going to the Temple of Chants right away?" Yang Shi asked, but Shen Xu shook his head.

"We are going to the wishing stone first." He said.

The wishing stone was an ancient relic of the Tianxuan continent.

From what Zhen Yuan knew, the wishing stone had existed for as long as anyone could remember and not even ancient records mentioned its origin.

It was a mysterious relic and was one of the most valuable places in the Tianxuan continent.

First, the wishing stone could not be owned, and any faction that had tried to claim it was mysteriously destroyed overnight.

Second, anyone, regardless of cultivation or masteries, could make a wish on the wishing stone and receive something in return.

For lucky people, the ’something’ would be a useful treasure, but for unlucky ones, it could be a worthless weed or even a broken weapon.

That said, the wishing stone was not a gift that kept on giving.

Instead, it was a one-time opportunity, and no one had ever received a second item.

Thinking of the wishing stone, Shen Xu narrowed his eyes with a thoughtful expression.

’In the book, Xiao Weimin got the gold element spirit from the wishing stone.’ He thought.

As for the harem, including the book Shen Xu, they all got useful treasures that helped improve their cultivation.

’I wonder what I will get this time around.’ The double thought, hoping he wouldn’t receive the cultivation resource since he had already advanced to the peak-stage of the tribulation transcending realm.

The wishing stone was in Tianji city.

Tianji City was located at the centre of the Tianxuan continent, and its city lord was a divination master.

At this time, the city lord narrowed his eyes with a thoughtful face.

"Master..." A female cultivator called, and the city lord turned to look at her.

"What’s the matter?" He asked with a distracted expression.

"Master, you have been distracted lately." The female cultivator stated, and Gu Shengtian nodded before speaking.

"It’s almost time for me to go back." The man said, and the female cultivator clenched her hands.

Gu Shengtian was a visitor from the immortal realm.

After arriving, he founded Tianji City and accepted one disciple.

That disciple was Wu Ziyan, the female cultivator standing beside him.

"Has the fate arrived?" Wu Ziyan asked, and Gu Shengtian nodded.

"I am unable to divine the trajectory, but the way lies with them." The man said and looked at the bounty posters placed on the table.

"Ziyan, you must follow them and do your best to find me when you ascend to the immortal realm." He said.

"Will they let me?" Wu Ziyan asked with a worried expression.

"You will find a way." Gu Shengtian smiled and quickly continued.

"You must remember to be sincere. Deception and tricks will lead to a dead end."

"I know, master." Wu Ziyan nodded but soon frowned with a reluctant expression.

"Master, when do you leave?" She asked.

"I will go back when they leave Tianji City." Gu Shengtian said and removed a small box from his storage ring.

"Take it." He said, and Wu Ziyan took the box with a raised eyebrow.

"What is it?" She asked, but Gu Shengtian shook his head.

"I don’t know, but it’s the only clue I found after countless divinations. Give it to them, and maybe they will know what it is."

Wu Ziyan was surprised when she heard this, but she didn’t dwell on it.

After all, divination was not a precise art, and they often foresaw things that they couldn’t understand or interpret.

"This box is your chance to get close to them. Use it well." Gu Shengtian reminded, and Wu Ziyan nodded.

"Ziyan..." The master started, looking at his disciple with a solemn face.

"Tianji City is prosperous, but it is not your destination. Don’t be trapped by small gains and fail to grasp the glory that you are destined for." He said.

Wu Ziyan lowered her eyes when she heard this.

She knew what her master was implying.

However, matters of the heart could not be picked up or disregarded at one’s will.

"I..." She started, but Gu Shengtian shook his head.

He knew it was futile to caution his disciple.

After all, some calamities could not be avoided, and Wu Ziyan would soon encounter a crossroad.

’Let’s hope she will choose wisely.’ He thought.

"When will they arrive?" Wu Ziyan asked.

"I can’t divine their movements, but I have foreseen a strange phenomenon at the wishing stone in five days." Gu Shengtian said, and Wu Ziyan nodded in understanding.

"The strange phenomenon is related to them." She stated, and her master nodded.

"I suspect." The man said.

After that, Wu Ziyan left the main hall and planned to head out to buy some things from the city’s branch of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

However, before she reached the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, she met a male cultivator, and a pink flush coloured her cheeks.

"Brother Yang." She called, her voice unintentionally lower and more coquettish.

Seeing the woman, Lu Yang sighed with a helpless expression, but didn’t ignore her.

"Young city lord Wu." He greeted, sounding distant and a little impatient.

"Did you just return?" Wu Ziyan asked, and Lu Yang nodded but didn’t say more.

Wu Ziyan and Lu Yang were both tribulation transcending realm cultivators, but the former was an early-stage while the latter was a mid-stage.

Because Wu Ziyan was a weak divination master and didn’t like to divine her own fate, her master had borrowed Lu Yang from the Lu family to protect her.

Unfortunately, Wu Ziyan was the affectionate falling flower while Lu Yang was the heartless flowing water.

More than one hundred thousand years after their first meeting, Wu Ziyan still couldn’t get a commitment from Lu Yang, and her feelings had morphed into a kind of obsession.
