"Turbid Tide comes upon the world, Seven Stars shining, one sword's light chills fourteen prefectures... Nu Yun River collapses, Dragon weeps blood, three suns hang in the void, white becomes Tao... Night's hidden initiation falls, day's appearance emerges with long Geng."

Ninghai Zen mulls over the three prophecies, these are acquired by Qiu Changtian through the Profound Mysterious Divine Soldiers at the Observatory Tower, should not have any errors.

One must know, there are five Taoist Sects and seven Upper Sects in the current era.

Few can openly possess Profound Mysterious Divine Soldiers.

The Observatory Tower is one among them, and yet not feared by the Dragon Court.

The two are very close, almost becoming the Imperial College of the Eight Pillar Realm's direct lineage.

Enter and stay for three to five years, and upon exit, one transforms into an upper-third class 'immortal registry' or 'Tao registry.'

Rumor has it that the star-sized Holy Wisdom Pearl suspended in the void.

Contains the power of foresight, penetrates the changes of the great Dao, divination and calculation, especially mysterious.

Even upon ascending to Divine Power Giant, it is difficult to evade its insights.

Looking across the Red County Divine Land, only one or two paths can counter this heavenly calculation, among them the most famous is White Sun Sect's "Star Chart of Birthlessness of the Future."

This is also why the remnants of great rebellion active for three thousand years cannot be completely eradicated.

"With such involvement, you also wade into muddy waters?"

Ninghai Zen contemplated for a while but could not make sense of it.

Prophecy is too broad, difficult to pinpoint.

Especially the guessing riddles.

Just like his disciple, having "white" and "qi" in the name.

Does it mean aligning with Qiu Changtian's heavenly insight? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

If so, Lao Qiu's Void Candle Breath Dharma Eye should have noticed it long ago.

Those who fulfill heaven's mandate, and conform to the world's movement, cannot hide their unique fortune.

Cannot avoid the Feng Shui Daoist with sufficient cultivation.

"Forget it."

After a moment, Ninghai Zen dismissed it.

He has never been good at this kind of brainwork, while traveling Jianghu with Qiu Changtian, usually this guy schemed with mischievous thoughts, while he reluctantly acted as a hand.

Thinking back on his once flawless pure nature, ultimately stained by Lao Qiu's influence, truly unfortunate in friendship.

"A great chance that comes once in a thousand years is right before us, should we turn a blind eye?"

Qiu Changtian shook his head:

"Heaven's mechanism bites back at oneself, making me a Plague Deity disaster star, if I cannot suppress bad luck, I'll have to endure in misery all my life.

Since youth, I cultivated Tao, to roam North Sea in the morning and walk Cangwu in the evening.

To travel the vast void, and see the three realms as millet and mountains and rivers as dust... But instead, I hide and avoid, ten years wasted."

Lao Ning you say, how is this boring life of sitting and waiting any different from lying in a coffin waiting to die with half a breath left?"

Ninghai Zen silently refrained from persuading.

This is his nature, even a life-and-death close friend, or a mentor regarded as a father.

Everyone has their own way of living, not his place to give orders.

"Lao Qiu, you insisted on revitalizing the water dragon vein of Nu Yun River back then, I considered whether to stop you, because it destined to lead to no good result, but in the end, I let it happen.

Today, you wish to bet on the seventh Profound Mysterious Divine Soldier, although I'll not support, I am willing to assist, it's no more than wrestling with those 'nobles' above us."

Ninghai Zen's tone was calm, now it is not ten years ago, before passing the Fourth Qi Cultivation Barrier.

So what about the Divine Power Giant?

Can't defeat the old ones, still can't handle the young ones?

"Lao Ning..."

Qiu Changtian was moved in his heart, to be fair, as a true disciple of the Taoist Sect, he is hardly an amiable person.

Mixing well with Ninghai Zen, partly due to common interests, partly due to mutual recognition.

Ninghai Zen treats affairs sincerely, treats friends honestly, never looks down on anyone from a high perch.

All the world's circumstances and causations, are like water over rocks, may leave traces at the time but dissipate in the course of time.

This is what the master meant by "deep Tao nature."

"You are a true person, always walking your own path, perhaps your Tao talent surpasses martial arts.

Frankly, I didn't intend to drag you into this mess.

The Fallen Immortal Mansion's scheme is grand, the Meridian Sword Sect began planning ten years ago, perhaps earlier, and behind it may involve the shadows of Dragon Court and Celestial Water Prefecture."

Qiu Changtian showed exuberance in his brow, as if sitting in front of the chessboard, waiting for the opponent to make a move:

"Feng Shui Daoist, lifelong ambition to stabilize dragon veins, move mountains and rivers, change the sun and moon.

The world's heroes are as plentiful as fish downstream, if able to compete, not a life wasted.

As for you, after this big venture, continue to wash your hands in the gold basin, and quietly nurture your disposition in Black River County."

Ninghai Zen gave a mocking smile:

"Look how capable you are? How much talent does Qiu Changtian have? I'm not aware?

Those elaborate Science and Ceremony Arrays, can they block Zhao Pijiang's Fire Greed Saber? Open your eyes and you'll die."

Qiu Changtian snorted on the surface but kept the sentiment in mind, he no longer played coy, he said:

"Zhao Pijiang these years, privately has been tracking the White Sun Sect. His Hidden Pavilion originated from the intelligence network of the Scouts and spies of the General's Mansion, later it became a major force for assassins taking contracts and lives.

Recently, I discovered traces of the White Sun Sect activities, reported to the Dragon Court, therein must pass through Celestial Water Prefecture.

Then I relayed the information to Elder Chongxu, he was not interested, instead the Zhi Xin Temple's Master Xuanji had significant ambition to claim merit."
