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

The Sixth Prince's mansion was filled with dazzling lights and bustling activity.

Even the servants of the Prince's mansion were beaming with smiles, walking with a spring in their step.

Tonight was the Sixth Prince's banquet to entertain a group of esteemed experts from the Divine Firmament Sect. The arrival of these experts in Jade Capital undoubtedly boosted the morale of the Sixth Prince's faction!

"Senior Sister Zhong, Senior Brother Lin, Senior Brother Liu, I offer you a toast!" The Sixth Prince's face was radiant with smiles as he toasted the three disciples of the Divine Firmament Sect.

The three individuals being toasted by the Sixth Prince were the leading figures of the younger generation in the Divine Firmament Sect, second only to the Holy Son.

Within the Divine Firmament Sect, the Holy Son, who possessed the Five Thunder Sacred Body, was the undisputed number one figure of the younger generation.

No one within the Divine Firmament Sect could challenge his position.

Beneath the Holy Son, the most outstanding were these three individuals before him.

Senior Sister Zhong Lingyu of the Divine Firmament lineage, Senior Brother Lin Xiao of the Grand Yi lineage, and Senior Brother Liu Qingyang of the Five Thunder lineage.

Among these three, Lin Xiao and he came from the same Grand Yi lineage, so their relationship was naturally the closest.

Liu Qingyang of the Five Thunder lineage, due to the tense relationship between the Five Thunder lineage and the Grand Yi lineage, was not very agreeable with him.

The Sixth Prince did not particularly care about this.

It would be best to win him over, but if not, he could find an opportunity to make him a pawn to cross the river, sending him to the front lines!

On the other hand, Senior Sister Zhong Lingyu of the Divine Firmament lineage was so pleasant in her interactions, like a gentle breeze, that he felt very comfortable.

And Zhong Lingyu's beauty, comparable to eclipsing the moon and shaming the flowers, made the Sixth Prince quite infatuated.

His position as the primary consort was still vacant, with no candidate yet. If Zhong Lingyu could become his primary consort, it would be a union between the Grand Yi lineage and the Divine Firmament lineage.

In that case, his position in the Divine Firmament Sect would rise to a higher level.

The Divine Firmament Sect's investment in him would also increase several times over, essentially tying the Divine Firmament Sect completely to his side.

Zhong Lingyu did not know that, after just one banquet, the Sixth Prince was already lusting after her.

…

Over the next few days, the various sacred grounds arrived one after another, creating a turbulent atmosphere throughout Jade Capital.

Disciples of the sacred grounds, who were usually rarely seen, were now appearing in Jade Capital in groups, constantly engaging in friendly sparring, becoming a beautiful sight in Jade Capital.

Fortunately, these disciples of the sacred grounds were still measured in their actions, not causing too many casualties.

However, even so, it had already caused the officials of the Town Demon Bureau and the Ministry of Justice to work overtime late into the night, without even having time to enjoy their beautiful concubines.

In Jade Capital, besides the clashes between the disciples of the various sacred grounds, the greatest attention was still focused on the Big Dipper Secret Realm.

Since the Jade Shimmer Tower was breached, the Pivot Tower became the focus of everyone's attention.

Within the Pivot Tower, there were thousands of miles of ice and snow, a scene of northern landscapes.

The higher one went, the lower the temperature became. Even martial arts experts could not withstand this extremely low temperature.

The trial of thousands of miles of ice and snow was more favorable to Daoist cultivators.

To be precise, it was most favorable to Daoist cultivators proficient in fire and ice techniques.

Fire technique cultivators were agile and could resist the bitter cold. Ice technique cultivators, on the other hand, naturally danced with ice, and the bitter cold was already a part of their cultivation.

In addition, various cold-resistant magical treasures became popular, allowing Zhou Hao Chen to make a small fortune.

Rumors circulated that if this prodigy advanced to the seventh realm, the mere Pivot Tower would be a piece of cake.

The Five Elements Sect was in the limelight, and the Second Prince was also in high spirits.

This was because the Second Prince's biggest supporter was the Five Elements Sect.

The Five Elements Sect excelled in Five Elements magic, and the Second Prince's Five Elements Spiritual Body was a Five Elements magic prodigy that only appeared once every hundred years. Naturally, they were a match made in heaven.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

It was the time Zhou Hao Chen had agreed upon with Yi Si.

At the third quarter of the Zi hour (11:45 PM), in a remote cave in the Big Dipper Secret Realm.

Zhou Hao Chen, wearing Jia Chen's black robe, arrived on time and met Yi Si, who had also just arrived.

"Yi Si, your timing is perfect!"

"Likewise!"

"Tell me, how should we cooperate?" Yi Si asked.

"Hehe, we lack trust between us. Otherwise, how about we first exchange the information we obtained from searching the souls of Bing Wu and Kui Niu?"

Zhou Hao Chen said, neither of them having made a request to see each other's true faces.

Clearly, both sides did not want to show their true faces.

After thinking for a moment, Yi Si nodded.

"Swear by your Dao heart!"

"Agreed!"

Only after the two swore by their Dao hearts did they have a preliminary trust and begin to exchange information.

"You speak first!" Yi Si said.

Zhou Hao Chen did not argue with Yi Si, took a step back, and said.

"Bing Wu's real name is Cao Gui. He was a house slave of Li Changhe, the commander of the Secret Realm Division. Later, he obtained the teachings of a man in black and cultivated a body of martial arts, and then joined the Xuanyuan Blood."

"I suspect that Li Changhe is also a member of the Xuanyuan Blood."

Hearing this, Yi Si's eyes flickered non-stop, revealing a hint of brilliance.

Seeing that Yi Si was shocked by his information, the corners of Zhou Hao Chen's mouth rose slightly, and he asked.

"Yi Si, do you think my information is sincere?"

"Very sincere!" Yi Si nodded.

"The memory in Kui Niu's mind should be more valuable. How much do you know?" Zhou Hao Chen asked.

After he revealed the important information, it was now Yi Si's turn.

Yi Si nodded slightly and said.

"Kui Niu's true identity is not worth mentioning. He was just a beggar in Jade Capital, who later obtained a fortuitous encounter. The specific process is similar to Bing Wu's."

"As for the person who introduced Kui Niu into the Xuanyuan Blood, it was a high-level member of the Xuanyuan Blood, code-named Gluttonous."

"What is Gluttonous's identity?"

"Not clear!"

"Not clear? Is there no other information?" Zhou Hao Chen's tone was somewhat dissatisfied.

Yi Si's eyes drooped, also feeling embarrassed.

Through the memories of the small fry, Binghuo, Jia Chen painstakingly pieced together clues and discovered that Li Changhe's identity was suspicious.

On the contrary, he himself had a trump card like Kui Niu, but the progress was not smooth.

Yi Si took a deep breath and said.

"I have no suspects regarding the specific identity of the Taotie."

"However, I do know about Xuanyuan Blood's plan targeting the Big Dipper Secret Realm."

"Tell me about it!"

"During the last operation, Kui Niu led us to suppress ghosts. Do you know why?"

Zhou Hao Chen shook his head; he really hadn't thought deeply about it.

Suppressing ghosts might be for cultivation.

For example, his Soul Summoning Banner required ghosts to enhance its power.

Perhaps, among the higher-ups of Xuanyuan Blood, there were similar magical treasures.

However, Yi Si's next words shocked Zhou Hao Chen.

"Xuanyuan Blood's goal is to release the ghost of Emperor Jin Wen from the mausoleum."

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Hao Chen's pupils shrank sharply.

There were indeed ghosts in the mausoleum.

The newest novels are available first at 69shu.com!

To be precise, it was the Ghost King behind the Heavenly Gate.

What is a Ghost King?

Ghosts that can be called Ghost Kings undoubtedly have cultivation in the Upper Three Realms.

Zhou Hao Chen was not certain about the Ghost King's identity.

However, after hearing Yi Si's words, Zhou Hao Chen basically confirmed that the Ghost King behind the Heavenly Gate was Emperor Jin Wen himself.

Although a doubt was resolved, Zhou Hao Chen had even more doubts in his heart.

How did Xuanyuan Blood determine that the Ghost King behind the Heavenly Gate was Emperor Jin Wen?

And... how did Emperor Jin Wen become a ghost?

"Emperor Jin Wen was an emperor, protected by dragon energy. Even if he was buried in a place of Yin gathering, it would be impossible for him to turn into a ghost."

"Are you sure the ghost is Emperor Jin Wen?"

"According to the memories in Kui Niu's mind, it is absolutely true; it is Emperor Jin Wen."

"This news was personally said by the leader of Xuanyuan Blood, who is also the Master in Kui Niu's words."

"According to the information that the leader of Xuanyuan Blood found, Emperor Jin Wen obtained the legendary Seal of Reincarnation during his lifetime, and thus conceived the idea of living another life."

"This Big Dipper Secret Realm is the location chosen by Emperor Jin Wen to hold the ceremony for living another life..."

Before Yi Si could finish speaking, Zhou Hao Chen blurted out subconsciously.

"Then Emperor Jin Wen's plan was ruined by Emperor Jin Wu."

"How do you know?"

Yi Si looked at Zhou Hao Chen with a look of astonishment.

Zhou Hao Chen rolled his eyes and complained.

"I actually guessed it right!"

"Emperor Jin Wen wanted to live another life, and the person who would least want to see this scene would undoubtedly be Emperor Jin Wen's crown prince, who later became Emperor Jin Wu."

"Judging from historical records, Emperor Jin Wen did not live another life, so the ceremony must have failed."

"There are only two possibilities for the failure of the ceremony. One is that the ceremony itself had problems and could not allow Emperor Jin Wen to live another life."

"As for the second, it was artificial destruction."

"If I were Emperor Jin Wu, I would also go to destroy Emperor Jin Wen's ceremony."

After listening, Yi Si suddenly understood, and then looked at Zhou Hao Chen with a strange look.

"You know so much about the mentality of the Son of Heaven and the Crown Prince, could it be that you are a prince."

Seeing Yi Si testing him, Zhou Hao Chen laughed.

"You really guessed right!"

"I am the current Crown Prince!"

Yi Si: ...

Did you really think I was stupid!

You are the Crown Prince?

Why don't you just say you are Emperor Qian Yuan?

Taking a deep breath, Yi Si continued.

"Emperor Jin Wen's ceremony to live another life was destroyed by Emperor Jin Wu, but he did not die completely, but turned into a ghost."

"After Emperor Jin Wen turned into a ghost, his strength was extremely strong and his ferocity was monstrous. Even Emperor Jin Wu could not do anything about him, so he had to seal him in the mausoleum."

"Afterwards, he was exiled to the Big Dipper Secret Realm to prevent the ghost transformed from Emperor Jin Wen from escaping and wreaking havoc."

"Xuanyuan Blood's purpose is to release the ghost transformed from Emperor Jin Wen."

"According to Xuanyuan Blood's calculations, the formation that sealed Emperor Jin Wen's ghost initially had seventy-two nodes."

"Three days ago, the valley where we acted was a node."

"The superficial task was to suppress ghosts, but in fact, Kui Niu's task was to destroy the formation nodes."

Destroying the seventy-two nodes would release Emperor Jin Wen's ghost.

This made Zhou Hao Chen feel alert.

It seemed that he needed to speed up the collection of the Seven Stars Soul Fixing Needles and suppress Emperor Jin Wen's ghost as soon as possible.

Perhaps the Seven Stars Soul Fixing Needles were left behind by Emperor Jin Wu back then, specifically to prevent Emperor Jin Wen's ghost from returning to the world.

"What is Xuanyuan Blood's purpose?"

"Pure evil, releasing Emperor Jin Wen's ghost?"

"This... Kui Niu's memory doesn't have it, but according to Kui Niu's guess, it may be to obtain the legendary Seal of Reincarnation."

Seal of Reincarnation?

Zhou Hao Chen sneered.

If Xuanyuan Blood's goal was the Seal of Reincarnation, then they would be disappointed.

After entering the Big Dipper Secret Realm, the two Seal of Reincarnation imprints in his sea of consciousness did not react.

Zhou Hao Chen could be sure that the Seal of Reincarnation was not in the Big Dipper Secret Realm.

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first." Yi Si said, seemingly having urgent matters.

However, he was stopped by Zhou Hao Chen.

"Yi Si, do you know about the Ice Soul Fairy?"

Hearing this, Yi Si paused, seemingly shocked. However, this unnaturalness was quickly concealed by her.

"The Ice Soul Fairy died long ago!"

As soon as the words fell, before Zhou Hao Chen could recover from the shock, Yi Si's figure disappeared into the night.

"Old He's old flame is dead?"

"Really?"
