Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune: Starting from the Blind Prince

Tai Xu Sect, the base.

Pavilions and terraces stand amidst misty clouds, resembling a celestial realm.

Four people sat facing each other, savoring fine wine, with the sound of a clear spring flowing by their ears.

The leading figure among these four was an old man wearing a Tai Chi Daoist robe, seemingly vigorous and hale, with a youthful complexion, yet his aura carried a faint, almost imperceptible sense of decay.

If anyone else were present, upon seeing this hale and youthful old man, they would surely be greatly astonished.

This man was the grand-uncle of the current Tai Xu Sect Leader, and also the person with the highest seniority within the Tai Xu Sect, known by the alias "Piaomiao Zhenren" (缥缈真人, Transcendent of Misty Haze).

In his youth, Piaomiao Zhenren was also a favored son of heaven, regarded as a seed for the Twelfth Realm, with hopes of contending for the position of Tai Xu Sect Leader.

Unfortunately, during an experience, he damaged his foundation, causing him to be trapped at the bottleneck of the Twelfth Realm for hundreds of years.

However, even so, Piaomiao Zhenren was hailed as the number one person below the Twelfth Realm, a renowned powerhouse throughout Shenzhou.

This time, the Tai Xu Sect was led by Piaomiao Zhenren, demonstrating the importance the Tai Xu Sect placed on this trip to Jade Capital.

The major sacred grounds and aristocratic families had a tacit agreement with the Great Yu Dynasty that cultivators of the Twelfth Realm would not enter Jade Capital City.

After all, the Twelfth Realm was the nuclear weapon of the major sacred grounds and aristocratic families. If they entered Jade Capital City, what if Emperor Qian Yuan had a moment of madness, picked up the Xuanyuan Sword, and cut them down? Wouldn't that be a terrible loss?

Apart from someone like Undying Lord, a nearly immortal existence, no Twelfth Realm powerhouse would easily enter Jade Capital City.

Therefore, Piaomiao Zhenren was already the highest level of combat power that the Tai Xu Sect could bring out.

Having Piaomiao Zhenren preside over this trip to Jade Capital also showed that the Tai Xu Sect was very curious about Emperor Qian Yuan's current state.

"Qianxun, what did the Holy Maiden say?" Piaomiao Zhenren asked, his voice hoarse.

"According to Aunt Lan, she couldn't detect any signs of injury on Emperor Qian Yuan. If the White Lotus Sect hadn't caused such a commotion this time, even she would have been kept in the dark."

"However..." Meng Qianxun paused, hesitated for a few breaths, and then continued, "Aunt Lan said that about three years ago, she noticed that Emperor Qian Yuan's primordial spirit had left his body and departed from the palace, seemingly going to..."

"Back then, Sect Leader, our senior brother, tried to sense the location of the Nine Abyss with the help of half a page of the Book of Life and Death, but failed."

"According to Sect Leader, our senior brother, the Nine Abyss and Shenzhou are separated by a powerful seal, which cannot be broken by those below the Twelfth Realm."

"What virtue or ability does Emperor Qian Yuan possess to be able to enter the Nine Abyss with his divine soul!"

One of the elders said in shock.

Throughout the world, there are countless secret realms, too many to count.

There are at least several hundred major secret realms with names, and countless smaller secret realms.

However, among the many secret realms, there are two particularly special places - Kunlun and the Nine Abyss.

The Tai Xu Sect has a long history of ten thousand years and has done considerable research on the ancient times.

In ancient times, immortals and Buddhas existed, and gods descended into the world.

At that time, cultivators could also become members of the gods and Buddhas in the sky through their own cultivation.

It can be said that ancient times were the golden age of cultivation.

Since the ancient times, immortals and Buddhas have disappeared, and even the realm of cultivation has been stuck at the Twelfth Realm.

What god and Buddha realm has long become a legend.

Why did the ancient era perish?

Why is the realm of cultivation limited to the Twelfth Realm?

Why did the world change drastically, and what happened in the ancient times?

These secrets are hidden in the mists of history.

Through the secret realms, the Tai Xu Sect has learned a little bit, but it is far from enough.

This is because ordinary secret realms are too small in scope, and even if they involve the secrets of ancient times, they only have a little bit.

If you want to find out the mystery of the destruction of the ancient era, there is only one way.

Explore Kunlun and the Nine Abyss.

Kunlun and the Nine Abyss are different from other secret realms, their scope is no less than that of Shenzhou, and they hide countless ancient secrets.

Therefore, the Tai Xu Sect's exploration of Kunlun and the Nine Abyss has never been interrupted over the years.

It's just a pity that Kunlun and the Nine Abyss are not so easy to explore.

Kunlun is mysterious and no one knows how to enter it.

According to legend, only the Great Yu's Taizu had ever entered the Kunlun Secret Realm.

Of course, these are all rumors, and the Great Yu's Taizu has never responded positively.

Compared to Kunlun, the Nine Abyss is more likely to be entered.

This is because in ancient times, the Nine Abyss was the destination for the death of all living beings, and it had the function of receiving the souls of the dead.

Therefore, the Nine Abyss can be entered from anywhere in Shenzhou, and there is no such thing as an entrance.

However, due to the destruction of the ancient era, there is a seal between the Nine Abyss and Shenzhou, which prohibits the two realms.

If you want to go to the Nine Abyss, you need a key.

Within the Tai Xu Sect, there is half a page of the Book of Life and Death, which is related to the Nine Abyss.

It's just a pity that half a page of the Book of Life and Death is too little. If there is a complete page, you will definitely be able to enter the Nine Abyss.

Piaomiao Zhenren listened to the news brought back by Meng Qianxun, his eyes flickering constantly, and after thinking for a while, he spoke slowly.

"The Earth Mother Divine Tree was personally cultivated by Empress Houtu, and Empress Houtu has inextricable connections with the Underworld."

"Perhaps, Emperor Qian Yuan obtained some treasure from the Earth Mother Divine Tree that can be used as a key to enter the Nine Abyss, which is not impossible."

"This matter is of great importance and must be investigated."

"Uncle-Master, do you mean to contact Undying Lord of Black Street?" A Tai Xu Sect elder asked in surprise.

Throughout the world, apart from Emperor Qian Yuan, if there is anyone else who can enter the Nine Abyss, it must be Undying Lord.

Undying Lord, an old monster who has lived for thousands of years, his lifespan far exceeds that of Twelfth Realm powerhouses, second only to the legendary immortal and indestructible Six Gods of ancient times.

There are many theories about why Undying Lord can have a lifespan of thousands of years.

The most convincing one is that Undying Lord entered the Nine Abyss by chance and refined an ancient Underworld divine seal, so he has the ability to live forever.

"Try to contact Undying Lord."

"However, with Undying Lord's personality, which is both righteous and evil, he may not buy the Tai Xu Sect's face."

Piaomiao Zhenren's face was solemn. This Undying Lord is a being that can make the entire Great Yu cultivation world headache.

The fact that his lair is in Jade Capital City, but he has not died under the sword light of the Xuanyuan Sword, shows how troublesome he is.

"In addition to this, Emperor Qian Yuan's situation must continue to be investigated."

"Whether Emperor Qian Yuan is injured or luring the enemy out, there must be a result."

"Uncle-Master, what are you going to do?"

"Not long ago, didn't you hear that the remnants of the Zhao King are causing trouble in Jade Capital City?"

"Why not contact them? Maybe we can cooperate."

Piaomiao Zhenren said expressionlessly, his tone without joy or sorrow.

Perhaps for Emperor Qian Yuan, the remnants of the Zhao King are mortal enemies, hated to the bone.

But for the Tai Xu Sect, the remnants of the Zhao King are also an object that can be cooperated with.

As long as the chips are right, what's wrong with helping the remnants of the Zhao King?

"The remnants of the Zhao King?"

"Is that kid still not giving up?"

"Emperor Qian Yuan has been on the throne for many years, even if he is injured, he is not someone a junior can deal with."

"Moreover, Emperor Qian Yuan has the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand to suppress the fate. It is simply a dream to seize Emperor Qian Yuan's throne."

Meng Qianxun heard this, smiled, and said softly.

"I may be able to guess something about the purpose of the remnants of the Zhao King."

"Oh? Nephew Qianxun, what's your opinion?"

"Uncle Wang, have you heard a rumor about the Great Yu Taizu?" Meng Qianxun did not answer immediately, but asked an irrelevant question.

Hearing Meng Qianxun's question, Elder Wang fell into deep thought.

"There are too many rumors about the Great Yu Taizu. They can't be finished in ten days and ten nights."

Elder Wang's words are not an exaggeration at all.

There are too many kinds of romantic rumors alone.

The most widely spread is the rumor between the Great Yu Taizu and the Holy Maiden of the Xuanyin Pavilion.

It is said that the Holy Maiden of the Xuanyin Pavilion of that generation was played badly by the Great Yu Taizu.

From her body to her heart, she has all become like the Great Yu Taizu, so that the Xuanyin Pavilion has to abolish the Holy Maiden and choose someone else.

Meng Qianxun smiled and said;

"What nephew is referring to is the Kunlun Secret Realm."

"According to legend, the Great Yu Taizu once entered the Kunlun Secret Realm and took away a legendary immortal artifact!"

"The sixth on the Spirit Treasure List, the Kunlun Mirror!"

Elder Wang blurted out in exclamation.

The Great Yu Taizu took the legendary immortal artifact, the Kunlun Mirror, from the Kunlun Secret Realm.

This rumor caused a lot of noise at the time.

However, it has always been a rumor and has never been confirmed.

Because there is no Kunlun Mirror in the Great Yu royal family.

If the Great Yu Taizu really took the Kunlun Mirror from the Kunlun Secret Realm, why didn't it pass down like the Xuanyuan Sword?

Therefore, it is more widely believed that the Great Yu Taizu entered the Kunlun Secret Realm, but the immortal artifact Kunlun Mirror is purely fictional.

But then, Meng Qianxun's words made the faces of the three people present drastically change.

"I observed the aura in the palace with spiritual eyes and discovered an interesting secret."

"The Kunlun Mirror was once in the palace."

Once in!

That is to say, it is not there now!

The three elders looked at each other and saw the horrified look in each other's eyes.

"So, it's true that the Great Yu's founding emperor took the Kunlun Mirror from the Kunlun Secret Realm back then?"

"Most likely!"

Meng Qianxun nodded with a serious expression.

"However, unlike the Xuanyuan Sword, the Kunlun Mirror has not been passed down and its whereabouts are unknown."

"This disciple thinks that if there is any treasure that could give the remnants of the Zhao Kingdom the confidence to take back the throne from Emperor Qian Yuan,"

"Then it would be none other than the Kunlun Mirror."

"Perhaps, that little Prince Zhao knows the whereabouts of the Kunlun Mirror."

In the waterside pavilion, the air was heavy, and silence reigned.

After a moment, the Piaomiao Zhenren exhaled a long breath and slowly said.

The newest novels are first published on 6_9_shu_ba!

"In that case, why not contact the remnants of the Zhao Kingdom? Perhaps we can use them to test Emperor Qian Yuan."

Of course, the second half of Piaomiao Zhenren's sentence was unspoken.

Treasures reside with the virtuous!

If there really is a celestial artifact, the small remnants of the Zhao Kingdom cannot control it.

Only their Taixu Sect can suppress the ferocity of the Kunlun Mirror!

After the discussion about testing Emperor Qian Yuan came to an end, Piaomiao Zhenren changed the subject and asked.

"Qianxun, I heard you gave the Thirteenth Prince a cultivation心得?"

"That's right!"

"The Thirteenth Prince is a hidden dragon, so it's good to build a friendly relationship with him before he rises to power," Meng Qianxun said openly.

The three elders of the Taixu Sect couldn't help but reveal thoughtful expressions.

They had great trust in Meng Qianxun's judgment.

Since Meng Qianxun believed that the Thirteenth Prince was a hidden dragon, then the Thirteenth Prince must have something extraordinary about him.

"Zhenren, this disciple believes that the selection of the Holy Maiden should be accelerated in order to arrange a marriage with the Thirteenth Prince."

"This... alas... the selection of this generation's Holy Maiden has been quite tortuous, and I'm afraid it won't be possible to select one in a short period of time."

"However... the assessment of the Thirteenth Prince can be carried out secretly during this opportunity."

"Elder Wang, I'll leave this matter to you."

...

While the people of the Taixu Sect were discussing important matters, Zhou Hao Chen had already returned to the Wang residence, looking at the jade slip that Meng Qianxun had given him.

At first, Zhou Hao Chen thought that the jade slip given by Meng Qianxun had a trap hidden inside, but after reading it through, he realized that it was actually a cultivation心得.

What's more, it was very considerately written in Braille, which left Zhou Hao Chen at a loss for words.

Apart from the Braille part, the content on the jade slip was of great benefit to Zhou Hao Chen, and he gained some insights.

Then, Zhou Hao Chen immediately went into seclusion and began to cultivate.

Within just three days, he had completely refined the Earth Core Fire Thunder Astral and integrated it into his true essence.

After refining the Nine Nether Yin Wind Fiend and the Earth Core Fire Thunder Astral, Zhou Hao Chen's true essence underwent earth-shattering changes.

The originally neutral and peaceful true essence was now filled with two completely different auras of Yin and Yang.

Zhou Hao Chen needed to constantly suppress these two completely different auras with his energy to ensure that the two would not erupt in conflict.

This was the drawback of absorbing Yin Fiend and Yang Astral, and to solve the drawback, it was necessary to harmonize Yin and Yang and balance water and fire.

This was the third minor realm of the Myriad Manifestations Realm - Yin Yang Intermingling.

Yin Yang Intermingling, unlike the Yin Fiend and Yang Astral realms, did not require external objects, but rather was a process of gradual refinement.

Of course, there was also a way to speed it up.

That was to use treasures containing both Yin and Yang energies to temper the true essence and quickly reach the realm of Yin Yang Intermingling.

Just as Zhou Hao Chen was wondering what treasure to use to accelerate the cultivation of the Yin Yang Intermingling realm.

His brow grew hot, the Bagua Diagram bloomed with golden light, and the trigrams frequently appeared before his eyes.

[Thunder Heaven: Upper Middle Trigram, go to the west of the North Hades Continent, two hundred miles from the River of Forgetfulness, after a great battle, you can obtain a sixth-grade opportunity that can be expanded, Small Fortune.]

[Earth Thunder: Middle Trigram, stay in the Wang residence, cultivate in seclusion, no gains and no dangers, Neutral.]

Seeing the trigram, Zhou Hao Chen raised his eyebrows.

Sixth-grade opportunity?!

With Zhou Hao Chen's current vision, he looked down on it a bit.

However, there were the words "can be expanded" in front of the sixth-grade opportunity.

This was different, can be expanded, maybe it can be expanded into a third-grade opportunity, or even a second-grade opportunity.

Zhou Hao Chen didn't think much, and directly his divine soul escaped, using the imprint of the Reincarnation Seal to go to the Nine Nether.

Going to the Nine Nether was already familiar to Zhou Hao Chen.

After a moment, he entered the Nine Nether and came to the River of Forgetfulness again.

The North Hades Continent in the trigram was not a continent, but a sandbar in the River of Forgetfulness, located five hundred miles east of Zhou Hao Chen.

In previous explorations into the Nine Nether, Zhou Hao Chen had passed by the North Hades Continent.

It was just that there were many ghosts in the North Hades Continent, so he did not go deep into the investigation.

Two hundred miles west of North Hades Continent.

Zhou Hao Chen turned into a ray of light and went to this place.

When Zhou Hao Chen had just arrived at the place indicated by the trigram, not long after, he saw a ghost flying by.

This ghost was completely different from the ghosts Zhou Hao Chen had seen in the River of Forgetfulness before.

He was wearing armor, and there was a "Night" character on the armor. Looking at the style of the armor, it was obviously a standard armor.

This ghost immediately aroused Zhou Hao Chen's attention.

According to the trigrams he had encountered before, the ghosts in the City of Wrongful Deaths were organized.

The ghost in front of him, judging from his attire, was also obviously organized.

Not surprisingly, it was a ghost from the City of Wrongful Deaths.

"According to the trigram, the sixth-grade opportunity that can be expanded is on this ghost," Zhou Hao Chen whispered softly, a touch of ruthlessness and murderous intent appearing in his eyes.

He put on the All Beings Mask, disguised his aura as a water ghost, and hid in the River of Forgetfulness, like a skilled hunter, waiting for his prey to take the bait.

In less than half a cup of tea's time, the armored ghost flew over Zhou Hao Chen's head.

In an instant, water splashed in the River of Forgetfulness.

A golden thunderbolt suddenly shot out from the River of Forgetfulness.

The golden thunderbolt contained the aura of supreme Yang, which was the nemesis of ghosts.

In an instant, it pierced the ghost's chest and cut off half of his body.

This ghost in armor would never have imagined that he would be attacked on the way back to the City of Wrongful Deaths.

Moreover, the attack was the Great Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder, a big killer of this level.

He could be said not to be wronged at all to die under the Great Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder.

After killing the ghost, Zhou Hao Chen appeared, and with a wave of his right hand, a storage bag fell into his hand.

With a sweep of his divine sense, the treasures in the storage bag fell into Zhou Hao Chen's eyes, and then, the corners of his mouth could not be restrained from rising, more difficult to suppress than an AK.

"Sinking Water Black and White Stone!"

"It's actually this thing!"

Zhou Hao Chen saw the origin of a pile of ore in the storage bag at a glance.

The Sinking Water Black and White Stone is a mineral that grows in a place where Yin and Yang are balanced, containing Yin and Yang energies.

The characteristics of this Sinking Water Black and White Stone are just right to assist in the harmony of Yin Fiend and Yang Astral.

"I searched high and low, but it came effortlessly!"

Zhou Hao Chen sighed, he needed a treasure to harmonize Yin and Yang, and it was immediately delivered to his door.

Then, Zhou Hao Chen used the Yaksha Soul Interrogation to search the ghost's soul and find the origin of the Sinking Water Black and White Stone.

There was only Sinking Water Black and White Stone in the ghost's storage bag, which was very unusual, not like a long storage bag.

More like... escorting newly mined ore.

Soon, Zhou Hao Chen learned the origin of the Sinking Water Black and White Stone from the ghost's memory.

"North Hades Continent, tribute!"

"It's actually like this!"

A trace of surprise appeared in Zhou Hao Chen's eyes.

The ghost he had just killed was the messenger of the Yaksha Ghost King in the City of Wrongful Deaths, sent to the North Hades Continent to collect tribute.

The North Hades Continent was a small stronghold for ghosts, which had surrendered to the Yaksha Ghost King in the City of Wrongful Deaths.

Among them, the Sinking Water Black and White Stone was a specialty of the North Hades Continent, because it was offered to the Yaksha Ghost King every year.

After learning the cause and effect, Zhou Hao Chen immediately understood what the words "can be expanded" in the sixth-grade opportunity meant.

There was a Sinking Water Black and White Stone mine in the North Hades Continent.

If he could grab it.

Using the Sinking Water Black and White Stone to cultivate without restriction, Zhou Hao Chen estimated that he could advance to the fifth realm in at most ten days.

The most important thing was that the strength of the ghost leader in the North Hades Continent was not strong, only the peak of the sixth realm.

Killing a ghost at the peak of the sixth realm was not difficult for Zhou Hao Chen.

The only thing to pay attention to was not to be surrounded by the ghosts of the North Hades Continent, lest too many ants kill the elephant.

After thinking about it, Zhou Hao Chen had an idea, pinched a magic formula in his hand, and the All Beings Mask on his face changed.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Hao Chen turned into the appearance of the ghost messenger.
