Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 598 - 049 Changing the Plan

Unable to prevent Austin from doubting,

it wasn't until this moment that he truly confirmed that the trace of familiarity he felt when facing the projection of that Venerable was indeed related to the power of the Celestial Secret Destiny.

Silence.

Austin's eyes flickered.

"Interesting, could it be that someone is plotting against me?"

Seemingly a coincidence,

yet it seemed inevitable.

Gazing at the Chaotic Void, Austin rose with another thought:

"Or rather, it's not someone plotting, but the Heavenly Dao itself calculating everything?"

Reflecting back,

he realized that the probability of encountering those suspected "protagonists" was indeed somewhat frequent.

Not to mention Fang Yan, who came specifically for the Reincarnation Path Master's legacy, not counting him.

But first there was Lin Han, then the little guy on Cyan Peak Mountain, and subsequently the boy with an Ancient Sword he saw nearby when he opened a different space and killed a Demon Beast.

Why do these experiences with suspected protagonists keep running towards him one by one?

Is it destiny, or something else...

"Interesting, very interesting!"

Sitting atop the Pure Qi Meditation Mat, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Austin's mouth.

Recalling the patterns in novels, around the protagonist, opportunities always abound, triggering various events.

From another perspective, could it be that he also became a significant opportunity on the protagonist's journey of growth, like the wise elder passing on knowledge to supporting characters?

An inexplicable force in the dark,

guiding these "protagonists" intentionally or unintentionally to approach him?

"Celestial Secret Sacred Land, Celestial Secret Son, I'm even more curious about the Celestial Secret Palace's legacy.... Want my time and Spatial Power? Then so be it, when the fruit grows mature, I won't be without my share..."

Though being possibly plotted against by something.

Austin wasn't upset.

In this Cangxuan Realm, he is merely a passerby in his lifetime's journey, not the Main World. With the Gate of Truth, he can easily break free from the world's bonds.

The dissemination of his Secret Techniques, seen by the natives as an intolerable sin, a leakage of legacy.

But for Austin, it wasn't something worth concerning.

"If it is indeed the Heavenly Dao in the dark propelling, seeking to perfect its Laws, I too won't suffer much, it's mutual benefit."

After all, Austin hadn't forgotten his purpose for traversing to this world.

Relying on the contingencies he left behind, the eventual insights and gains of those who obtained his opportunities would become part of his resources.

There are those willing to help, no loss there.

"Just, whether it's the Heavenly Dao or anyone else, since they dare to plot against me..."

In Austin's eyes, a glint of cold indifference flashed.

Just upon arriving in this world, he nearly fell victim to an assault.

And the previously appearing Venerable Level strong man... these cannot be disregarded lightly.

No matter who it is, if he discovers anything, he would never let it go easily.

"Since it's the power of the Celestial Secret and fate, then this journey to Yunzhou should provide answers from the Celestial Secret Sacred Land... Let's hope I won't be disappointed!"

Beside him, the chaotic imagery rapidly receded.

Austin's speed accelerated by a few points.

However,

the direction of progression had a slight deviation.

He still needed to visit the Celestial Secret Palace in Yunzhou.

Relying on the future glimpsed through Lin Han in the river of time, that place is where the storms of the entire Northern Domain will converge, a small climax on this generation's Immortal Road contention.

Austin needed to acquire the legacy of the Celestial Secret Sacred Land, those core powers that could glimpse into fate and the future, to deduce the truth of matters.

Meanwhile,

twenty years ago, when he was lost in this world and almost perished, the cause and effect would also be resolved there.

The enemy who inexplicably consumed over a decade of his nurturing won't be easily forgiven by Austin.

This trip to Yunzhou is imperative.

However, linking to the previous speculation, Austin made a slight modification to his plan.

He needed to verify some matters.

Moreover,

to elevate his Cultivation from Celestial Being peak to Dharma Aspect or even Venerable.

Otherwise, in that great battle, he may not hold much advantage.

"Liangzhou, ah Liangzhou, I hope you won't let me down..."

In the void passage, Austin's figure darted swiftly, traversing hundreds of millions of kilometers in an instant, flying towards Liangzhou.

In a future time stream corner's information, Austin saw that an Ancient Immortal Hall would open in Liangzhou.

Though unsure of the opportunities within.

But since it's an Immortal Hall ruin, the contents inside surely wouldn't be lacking.

Enough to break through the Celestial Being peak bottleneck, advancing to Dharma Aspect, or even higher levels of Venerable.

Moreover,

the ancient relics might hold some ancient secrets.

Originally, Liangzhou wasn't in Austin's plan,

but now, to confirm some things and just in case, he'll enhance his strength before venturing into the Yunzhou Celestial Secret Sacred Land ruins, participating in those series of events.

Sensing something amiss, Austin naturally wouldn't enter the fray lightly.

At least having enough strength is essential.

Clatter, clatter!!!

With the crisp sound of flowing water, Austin's figure swiftly vanished in the void passage, darting into the distance. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

...

At the same time,

half a day after Austin departed,

the once bright and clear sky above the martial ground of the Demon Beast Mountains distorted suddenly, transforming into a gigantic void vortex, an impenetrable darkness spread.

Several figures, cloaked completely in black, emerged from within the void vortex.

The Divine Sense swept across the sky, not leaving a single corner unchecked.

Soon,

a pitch-black space opened below in the void, as the black-clad figures noticed something odd, they broke through the space into Austin's martial ground.

Gazing at the visible spatial fractures within the alternate space, everyone was filled with shock.

One person placed a hand on a spatial scar,

and suddenly, the skin on the palm seemed to be undergoing the eroding passage of thousands of years, rapidly wrinkling, sprouting age spots, turning into something as dry as tree bark.

"Ah!"

The black-clothed figure cried out in horror, quickly retracting the hand.

However, the entire arm had already turned into something akin to dried wood, gruesome, as the sleeve covering it disintegrated into fine particles of ash.

The other black-clothed figures were filled with dread upon seeing this, casting glances at each other, they supported the injured companion and prepared to exit this eerie space.

Yet just as they intended to leave,

within the wavering space, a faint azure silhouette stood like a boundless grandeur,

though it was merely a remnant, an illusory shadow, it possessed a sensation of demanding reverent worship.

With a casual wave,

a sword light indescribable with words shot through time and space, arriving at them in an instant!
