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

Zhou Hao Chen fell into contemplation.

After pondering for a moment without gaining any insight, the Yao Guang Tower began to shake.

The expressions of the crowd changed slightly as they descended the tower and looked towards the distant horizon.

A tall tower rose from the earth.

Its style was very similar to the Yao Guang Tower, but the plaque on top was different, bearing the words "Kai Yang."

The Kai Yang Tower had appeared!

Upon seeing the emergence of the Kai Yang Tower, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince revealed excitement in their eyes and led their people towards the Kai Yang Tower, seeking traces of the Reincarnation Seal.

"Thirteenth brother, aren't you going to take a look?"

"Kai Yang Tower? Forget it."

After everyone had left, Zhou Hao Chen circled around, used the Myriad Faces Technique to change his appearance, and returned to the outside of the Yao Guang Tower.

This time, Zhou Hao Chen re-entered the Yao Guang Tower.

With the experience from last time, this ascent was even smoother. In less than half an hour, he passed the ninth floor.

However, this time, Zhou Hao Chen's target was not the treasure vault, but the tenth floor of the Yao Guang Tower.

Within Emperor Jin Wen's mausoleum, Zhou Hao Chen had obtained three hexagrams, which indicated that the Seven Stars Soul Stabilizing Needles were located on the tenth floor of the Big Dipper Seven Stars Towers.

According to Zhou Hao Chen's conjecture, a complete set of Seven Stars Soul Stabilizing Needles consisted of seven needles.

Each tower of the Big Dipper Seven Stars Towers held one Seven Stars Soul Stabilizing Needle on its tenth floor. When combined, they would form the complete Seven Stars Soul Stabilizing Needles.

Only with the Seven Stars Soul Stabilizing Needles could he restrain the Ghost King behind the Heavenly Gate.

[Ze Huo: Supreme Luck Hexagram. Step on the Big Dipper, repeat three times, stop at the Yao Guang position, obtain a fourth-grade opportunity, great fortune.]

Within his sea of consciousness, the hexagram of the Eight Trigrams Diagram appeared.

This time, it was a rare occurrence of only one hexagram.

However, upon seeing this hexagram, Zhou Hao Chen's eyes lit up.

Because this hexagram pointed out to Zhou Hao Chen how to reach the tenth floor of the Yao Guang Tower.

Step on the Big Dipper, repeat three times, stop at the Yao Guang position!

In simple terms, it meant stepping according to the positions of the Big Dipper Seven Stars, forming the shape of the Big Dipper, repeating three times, and finally stopping at the position of the Yao Guang Star, which would allow him to enter the tenth floor of the Yao Guang Tower.

Zhou Hao Chen followed the instructions on the hexagram, stepping on the Big Dipper, repeating three times, and finally stopping at the position of the Yao Guang Star.

A buzzing sound rang out!

An invisible wave swept in all directions.

Immediately afterward, a white spiritual energy vortex appeared above Zhou Hao Chen's head.

With a tap of his toes, Zhou Hao Chen soared into the air and entered the vortex.

The scenery before his eyes changed for a moment. When Zhou Hao Chen once again set foot on solid ground, he had already arrived on the tenth floor of the Yao Guang Tower.

A starlight-emitting embroidery needle was suspended in mid-air.

This was the Yao Guang Needle among the Seven Stars Soul Stabilizing Needles.

Zhou Hao Chen used his right hand to grab and take away the Yao Guang Needle, storing it in his storage bag, a faint smile rippling on the corner of his mouth.

"I hope my brothers are strong enough to conquer the Kai Yang Tower on their own."

"Can't you let me lie down for once?"

Zhou Hao Chen sighed.

Just as he was about to leave the Yao Guang Tower, there was a sudden movement in the Thousand Mile Communication Jade Stone.

[Kui Niu: Gather in the Big Dipper Secret Realm three days later at the third quarter of the Zi hour to participate in the operation. Do not be late.]

[Kui Niu: The target of this operation is the evil spirits in the Big Dipper Secret Realm. Prepare the means to deal with ghosts in advance.]

Zhou Hao Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise when he saw Kui Niu's message.

There were still ghosts in the Big Dipper Secret Realm?

Just as Zhou Hao Chen wanted to inquire, someone took the lead.

[Yi Si: There are ghosts in the Big Dipper Secret Realm? Are they in the Yao Guang Tower?]

[Kui Niu: No.]

[Jia Chen: Are they in the Kai Yang Tower?]

[Kui Niu: Huh? The Kai Yang Tower has appeared?]

[Jia Chen: It just appeared.]

[Bing Wu: I saw it too. The Crown Prince, Second Prince, and Sixth Prince took a large group of people to the Kai Yang Tower.]

[Kui Niu: Heh heh, a bunch of fools. The true opportunity in the Big Dipper Secret Realm is not in the Big Dipper Seven Stars Towers. As long as you kill the ghosts in this operation, you will definitely get a lot of benefits.]

[Bing Wu: Thank you, Lord Kui Niu. This subordinate will definitely do my best.]

...

Zhou Hao Chen frowned slightly as he looked at Kui Niu's words.

What was the true opportunity he spoke of?

He had a feeling that Kui Niu seemed to know some secrets about the Big Dipper Secret Realm.

To be precise, it was Xuan Yuan Xue who knew the secrets about the Big Dipper Secret Realm.

Putting away the jade stone, Zhou Hao Chen returned to the Prince's Mansion.

Just as Zhou Hao Chen had returned to the Prince's Mansion, shocking news arrived.

The Divine Firmament Sect had entered the capital!

This news was like a boulder falling into a calm lake, stirring up a storm.

Many people had long expected that the holy lands of the various worlds would come to Jade Capital City to participate in the Big Dipper Secret Realm.

However, the speed at which the Divine Firmament Sect came was still beyond everyone's expectations.

The Divine Firmament Sect was the first to arrive in the capital among the major holy lands and aristocratic families.

It was the first, but definitely not the last.

...

Divine Firmament Sect Residence.

"Senior Brother Wang, Junior Brother Lin, I didn't expect that the two of you would be leading the team this time."

Elder Zhou, a guest elder of the Sixth Prince, appeared in the Divine Firmament Sect's residence, speaking with a smile.

The Senior Brother Wang and Junior Brother Lin he spoke of were two elders of the Divine Firmament Sect, belonging to the Divine Firmament lineage and the Five Thunder lineage respectively.

Including him, who was already in Jade Capital City, belonging to the Grand Yi lineage.

The three lineages each had an Upper Three Realms elder stationed, which was very balanced.

"Junior Brother Zhou, you have worked hard these days guiding the Sixth Prince!"

"It's not hard, it's all for the sect!"

"If the sect succeeds in choosing the Sixth Prince, it can suppress the Taixu Sect. As your junior brother, I naturally have to shoulder this important task," Elder Zhou said righteously and with a serious expression.

However, Elder Lin sneered inwardly. What shoulder the important task of the sect?

It's clearly for the benefit of your Taiyi lineage.

But the Wulei lineage has no way to interfere in this matter.

After all, the Sixth Prince's talent is more suitable for the Taiyi lineage's cultivation methods.

After exchanging pleasantries, Elder Zhou asked,

"Senior Brother Wang, how many juniors have come this time?"

"Except for the Holy Son, who is in seclusion and unable to come, almost all the promising talents among the younger generation have arrived."

"All have arrived?" Elder Zhou asked in surprise. He thought only three or four people would come.

"Is the Sect Leader so concerned about the Big Dipper Secret Realm?"

Elder Wang shook his head, "Not at all!"

"Could there be another hidden reason?" Elder Zhou asked in surprise.

"Hahahaha—as expected, I can't hide it from Junior Brother Zhou!"

Saying that, Elder Wang took out a formation plate and injected a magic technique into it.

Immediately, the formation plate burst out with brilliant spiritual light, and a temporary formation enveloped the room where the three of them were.

Seeing this scene, Elder Zhou's expression immediately became solemn.

Elder Wang is so serious, it must be a big deal!

"Junior Brother Zhou, some time ago, Master Yi cast a divination for Emperor Qian Yuan?"

Elder Zhou: ???

Cast a divination for Emperor Qian Yuan!

This one sentence almost stunned Elder Zhou.

Emperor Qian Yuan is the Son of Heaven of the Dayu Dynasty, protected by dragon energy, and also a powerhouse of the Twelfth Realm.

It can be said that Emperor Qian Yuan is the most difficult person in the world to deduce celestial secrets, with a difficulty comparable to that of the ancient Six Gods.

Master Yi actually cast a divination for Emperor Qian Yuan?

This caused ripples in Elder Zhou's heart.

"What was the result?"

"Master Yi's divination was vague and unclear." Elder Wang paused, then continued, "However, Master Yi spent ten years of his lifespan to glimpse a glimmer of heavenly secrets."

"Emperor Qian Yuan's situation is not quite right!"

As soon as the words fell, Elder Zhou, who heard this news for the first time, shrank his pupils suddenly, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground.

Regarding Elder Zhou's gaffe, Elder Wang and Elder Lin did not ridicule or mock him.

When they first heard this news, weren't they the same?

The glimmer of heavenly secrets that Master Yi glimpsed was too terrifying!

Once it spreads out, it will surely set off shocking waves throughout the Dayu Dynasty.

Elder Zhou's Adam's apple bobbed twice, making a swallowing sound, and his breathing became heavy.

This gaffe lasted for a full dozen breaths before it calmed down slightly.

"What does the Sect Leader intend to do?"

"Sending so many talented disciples here this time, I'm afraid it's not just for the Big Dipper Secret Realm." Elder Zhou seemed to have thought of something and blurted out.

Elder Wang nodded and said in a deep voice, "Exploring the Big Dipper Secret Realm is just a cover for the outside world. The real purpose is to test Emperor Qian Yuan and see what his situation really is."

Hiss—

As expected!

Elder Zhou gasped in his mouth, which was in line with the Sect Leader's style.

But…

A strong worry appeared in Elder Zhou's eyes.

How can Emperor Qian Yuan be so easily tested?

A careless move might bring a catastrophe to their Shenxiao Sect!

"Does the other Holy Lands and aristocratic families know about this?"

"The Sect Leader has already notified the other Holy Lands and aristocratic families, but they didn't believe it immediately. They should have gone to let their own celestial masters perform celestial deduction to confirm it. It is estimated that it will take a few days."

"If there are no accidents, people from other Holy Lands and aristocratic families will arrive in Yujing City in the next few days."

Elder Zhou seemed to have seen that the elders and geniuses of the major Holy Lands and aristocratic families gathered together and went to Yujing City together.

This scene is turbulent!

"This is a good thing!"

"With other Holy Lands and aristocratic families helping us share the attention, even if there is an accident, we can drag them down with us."

"Even if Emperor Qian Yuan is strong, can he start a war with all the Holy Lands and aristocratic families?"

"He is not the Grand Ancestor!"

Elder Zhou's words aroused the approval of Elder Wang and Elder Lin.

"Emperor Qian Yuan resembles the Grand Ancestor, but he is not the Grand Ancestor after all!"

"If Emperor Qian Yuan is willing to be a city-guarding ruler in peace, why do we have to take this risk to test Emperor Qian Yuan?"

"Emperor Qian Yuan's ambition is too great. He wants to make the world return to the era of the Grand Ancestor!"

Speaking of the words Grand Ancestor, the three people present were all extremely afraid.

Even though the Grand Ancestor had passed away for nearly a thousand years, no one dared to mention the Grand Ancestor's name.

As for the reason?

The Grand Ancestor's suppression of the major Holy Lands and aristocratic families back then was too tragic.

Even after several generations, it is still enough to make children cry at night.

At the beginning of the founding of Dayu, the major Holy Lands and aristocratic families were all behaving with their tails between their legs.

Until the Xuanzong period, Xuanzong was incompetent and opened the knife on the Black Street, wanting to establish his prestige and deter the Holy Lands and aristocratic families.

As a result, one battle completely lost the majesty of the Dayu royal family.

Covered in dirt and lost all face.

From then on, the major Holy Lands and aristocratic families slowly recovered their vitality.

Of course, it is still incomparable to the Xia Dynasty period.

Since Emperor Qian Yuan ascended the throne, he has wanted to revitalize the court's prestige, and has secretly and overtly suppressed the Holy Lands and aristocratic families, showing a Grand Ancestor's style, how can the major Holy Lands and aristocratic families tolerate this?

It's just that they have been refraining from acting due to fear of Emperor Qian Yuan's strength and the Xuan Yuan Sword.

Until the incident caused by the White Lotus Sect in the Earth Mother Festival this time, they suddenly discovered that Emperor Qian Yuan seemed to be a paper tiger.
