Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 261 - 259: Xiao Ye’s Future

The moment Xiao Ye stepped onto the summit, a strange fluctuation swept from the top of the peak, which every Martial Artist vying for Mystic Martial could feel.

"There’s someone who’s reached the top!" Martial Artists still climbing the mountain path looked on with envy, familiar with such fluctuations.

It is known that anyone who can reach the summit, apart from receiving predictions of the Heavenly Mechanism by the Heavenly Mechanism Sect Disciple, will also attract the attention of various powers from the Xingyun Kingdom, truly gaining both fame and fortune.

"Who exactly has reached the top?"

For a time, everyone started to speculate since among those climbing Heavenly Mist Peak, there were Martial Artists who had arrived that day and others who had come the day after, so it was unclear who made it to the top.

Soon, news of Xiao Ye’s victory over Yan Zhen in their match and his dominant ascent spread from the Martial Artists who had witnessed it, and it instantly caused an uproar.

"My god, it’s the young man in black! He actually only took thirteen hours, setting a new record for the fastest time. Could he be the real Heavenly Son?"

"Who is he? There has been no talk of such a person among the young generation of Xingyun Kingdom!"

"Quick, send a message back home. We must investigate this person’s background thoroughly!"

...

Heavenly Mist Peak has always been a place of great interest to the Xingyun Kingdom, and suddenly, the scene at the foot of the mountain became bustling with activity. Everything that happened here quickly spread in all directions throughout the Xingyun Kingdom.

This was something Xiao Ye himself had not anticipated. At this moment, he was looking curiously at the person speaking in front of him.

That was an Elder with an extraordinary and saintly demeanor, sitting cross-legged with a robe emblazoned with the Eight Diagram Array, his eyes where stars were fading away. Just standing there, he seemed to merge with the Heaven and Earth, exuding a mysterious aura.

Next to him stood a young man who was Tian Jizi, his eyes sparkling as he gazed at Xiao Ye with a somewhat strange expression.

"Junior Xiao Ye pays respect to the elder of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!" Xiao Ye’s mind sharpened, and he promptly gave a respectful salute.

In front of him were the descendants of the formidable Heavenly Mechanism Sect, which even the Four Great Emperor Domains treat with great respect.

"Mm, I am the Senior Brother of Tian Jizi, known as Tong Xuanzi. Your time to reach the top, though not comparable to the Heavenly Son, is indeed impressive. Could you be called a strong Quasi-Son of Heaven?" The saintly elder stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Just a Quasi-Son of Heaven?" Xiao Ye was somewhat startled by his words.

According to his estimation, after obtaining three Xuandans, he should be invincible within his Realm and on par with the Heavenly Son.

"Alright, since you have reached the summit, I will naturally honor my promise. Tell me, what would you like to predict? You only have one chance, so think carefully before you answer," Tong Xuanzi said while holding up a piece of Turtle Shell.

Xiao Ye’s face was filled with excitement. Wasn’t this the moment he was waiting for when he ascended Heavenly Mist Peak?

Then, Xiao Ye became troubled.

Firstly, he had a Blank Scroll in his Space Ring, obtained from Yun Feiyang’s cave, which he was desperate to decode. He truly believed that the scroll could enhance his strength.

Secondly, the Spirit Control Secret Technique affecting Xiao Teng might also be solved with the help of Tong Xuanzi.

But there was only one chance, so how should he choose?

As time ticked by, Xiao Ye stood there weighing his options, while Tong Xuanzi waited patiently.

"Senior Brother!" Suddenly, Tian Jizi transmitted his voice with his power.

"Do you remember the Heavenly Destiny Stone that Master once gave me?"

Upon hearing the mention of his Master, Tong Xuanzi’s expression turned solemn, and he replied, "Of course I remember. That Heavenly Destiny Stone relates to your strongest opponent in this life. Only by defeating him can you walk the Emperor Road."

"Just yesterday... the Heavenly Destiny Stone lit up," Tong Xuanzi said with a grave expression.

Whoosh!

Upon hearing this, Tong Xuanzi’s face changed dramatically, no longer able to remain calm.

"My Heavenly Destiny Stone lit up because of this person," Tian Jizi’s eyes turned to Xiao Ye.

"Him?" Tong Xuanzi was stunned, disbelief written all over his face.

His Junior Brother Tian Jizi is a Martial Arts genius with a terrifying reputation within the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, possessing one of the most formidable special constitutions, extraordinary gifts, and deemed the most likely to become the Great Emperor in the next six thousand years, also given the title Tian Jizi.

How could his strongest opponent be Xiao Ye, who hasn’t even reached the Heavenly Son level?

"The probability of the Heavenly Destiny Stone making an error is very low; seems this child is quite extraordinary. Junior Brother, let me help you probe this child’s future."

After Tong Xuanzi finished speaking, he tapped his forehead, a drop of blood floating out and merging into the Turtle Shell in front of him.

Whoosh!

The Turtle Shell burst into bright light, and a beam of light soared into the sky, reaching the Nine Heavens.

"Yong Chang Heavenly Dao, open my Heavenly Eye, decide the future!" Tong Xuanzi murmured, his pupils completely replaced by the Eight Diagram Array.

"Senior Brother!" Tian Jizi was full of gratitude.

It was like solving someone’s problem or pointing out the location of a treasure; these were just Intermediate prediction methods and took little toll on oneself.

However, deciding the future was the highest prediction method of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. Since the future had not yet occurred and was full of uncertainties, every prediction came with a significant cost. Therefore, the disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect would not easily resort to this method.

"What’s happening?" Xiao Ye’s body trembled, and he suddenly looked up, sensing an extremely Mysterious force probing towards him.

Upon his body, it seemed as if a "line" extended outwards, that supremely mysterious force traveling along the line, crossing through the long river of time.

"Don’t move rashly, my senior brother is determining your future; this isn’t considered a waste of your opportunity to speculate." The childlike voice of Tian Jizi sounded, filled with authority.

"Determining my future?" Xiao Ye was startled; he clearly hadn’t made such a request.

However, upon hearing the latter half of Tian Jizi’s words, Xiao Ye calmed down, his eyes brimming with expectation.

"What will my future be like?"

After half a moment, the light on the Turtle Shell gradually dimmed, Xuantongzi’s body trembled, his white hair disheveled and in disarray, he dispiritedly muttered: "How is this possible!"

"Senior brother, what happened?" Tian Jizi quickly inquired.

Xuantongzi did not reply, but instead, his finger pointed towards his glabella again, this time five droplets of blood floated out, falling towards the Turtle Shell.

Whoosh!

The Turtle Shell burst out with an intense light, like a miniature sun, the light screen could cover the sky.

"This..." Tian Jizi was stunned.

Determining a Martial Artist’s future, the price paid is the heart’s blood from the glabella, which is the basis for Heavenly Mechanism Sect Disciples to speculate the Tao.

Generally speaking, to determine the future of a genius comparable to a Quasi-Son of Heaven, one drop of heart’s blood would be more than sufficient.

Yet Xuantongzi used a total of six drops of heart’s blood to determine Xiao Ye’s future, this was simply unheard of; even when his Master determined his future, he had only used three drops of heart’s blood.

Rumble!

At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, a fierce wind rose, clusters of dark clouds rapidly gathered, forming a vortex shape, with countless flashes of electric light gleaming within, the void itself was trembling unstably.

At the very center of the vortex was Xuantongzi!

"Predicting the forbidden!" Tian Jizi looked up into the sky, his face immediately turning pale, his heart churning with shock and awe.

Predicting the forbidden, as the name implied, the target of the speculation was a taboo, and if one forced the investigation, it would be contravening heaven’s will, inviting the Heavenly Thunder to annihilate.

Such an event only occurred once within the Divine Machine Sect 6,000 years ago. Then, the Sect Leader of Heavenly Mechanism Sect, a learned Heavenly People, forcibly speculated the whereabouts of the Human Race Four Emperors, only to be struck dead by the Heavenly Thunder.

"This guy’s future is actually a subject of predicting the forbidden!" Tian Jizi hurriedly roused Xuantongzi.

Xuantongzi’s eyes suddenly snapped open, forcibly interrupting the speculation, his face filled with disbelief as the Heavenly Thunder above his head gradually dissipated.

"In a vague glance at your future, it is filled with despair and slaughter... Never has anyone’s future been so terrifying, who on earth are you?" Xuantongzi said, pale as paper, staring intently at Xiao Ye.

Tian Jizi wore a significant expression, quietly listening.

"Despair, does it refer to the Fusion Emperor Road?" Xiao Ye’s heart tightened, "But what does slaughter refer to?"

Of course, Xiao Ye would not reveal this, as the Fusion Emperor Road was of the utmost importance.

"Elder, I do not understand what you mean." Xiao Ye spoke up.

"It’s fine, our Heavenly Mechanism Sect never meddles in worldly grudges. Pretend this never happened, and now you can say what it is you want to speculate." said Xuantongzi with a wry smile.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye fell silent for a moment, then pulled out from his bosom the Blank Scroll he had prepared beforehand.

"Elder, this object was obtained by my younger self accidentally, I hope the elder can help to decrypt what it is," Xiao Ye offered respectfully.

There’s only one chance, and Xiao Ye did not want to waste it.

What if he couldn’t meet the conditions required to counteract the Spirit Control Secret Technique affecting Xiao Teng?

That’s why Xiao Ye had made such a choice.

"Hm?" After resting briefly, Xuantongzi opened the Blank Scroll and immediately found it both funny and frustrating, and Tian Jizi next to him was also speechless.

"Young brother, you must come from the Endless Sea, right?" Xuantongzi shook the Blank Scroll in his hand, "This item is known as an Invisible Scroll, it was a recording method used in the ancient times of True Spirit Continent to prevent Cultivation Techniques and Combat Techniques from leaking."

"But as for now, every major city on True Spirit Continent has Decryption Potion available which can reveal the contents recorded on it; you actually brought it to me for speculation?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye stared dumbfounded; to decrypt the Blank Scroll was actually so easy? No wonder Xuantongzi wore such an expression.

Of course, Xiao Ye could not be blamed.

It was his first time in True Spirit Continent, and he knew too little.

"Damn it, how embarrassing!" Xiao Ye felt ashamed, if others knew about this, wouldn’t they laugh their teeth off?

"I deduced that the scroll records a very powerful Body Combat Skill, but it requires high cultivation conditions. There happens to be a Void Martial Realm dungeon emerging soon, within the territory of Xingyun Kingdom, you might try your luck there, where treasures will help you cultivate this Combat Technique."

After deducing for a while, Xuantongzi tossed the Blank Scroll back to Xiao Ye.

"It really is a Body Combat Skill!" Xiao Ye caught the Blank Scroll, his face full of ecstasy.

That was a Combat Technique that even Xuantongzi deemed very powerful!
