Qin Feng listened quietly. So this was the change that had happened to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, which was why it had become a lackey of the Dark Palace.
Zhuge Tian continued:
"The Dark Temple remains hidden behind the scenes, but their heinous acts have not stopped."
They also suffered considerable losses in their previous battles against our Tianhuang Continent.
To facilitate control, they set up a Heaven-Sealing Array to strictly control the number of Emperor Realm cultivators. All Emperor Realm cultivators must obtain their approval before they can advance.
For a long time, no Emperor-level beings appeared, which became their reason for holding the so-called struggle for destiny.
Few people realize that this was merely a facade they created to select their targets.
Qin Feng nodded upon hearing this and looked at Zhuge Tian.
"Senior Zhuge's account has answered some of my questions. So, what is the purpose of your trip?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Tian snapped out of his slump and looked intently at Qin Feng, as if he had found a lifeline.
Qin Feng felt uneasy under Zhuge's gaze and asked in confusion, "Senior Zhuge, please speak frankly."
Zhuge Tian composed himself and said very seriously:
"I want to join forces with you, my friend, and other like-minded fellow Daoists to resist the Dark Palace and break the Heaven-Sealing Array that restricts our Tianhuang Continent."
For ourselves, and for all living beings on this desolate continent...
Qin Feng was not surprised to hear this. However, regardless of whether what Zhuge Tian said was true or false, he and the Dark Palace had already fallen out and become rivals. Having another ally was a good thing.
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Zhuge. It would be no problem for us to fight against the Dark Palace together."
Zhuge Tian was overjoyed to see that Qin Feng had agreed, and clapped his hands excitedly, "Good, with your help, young friend, this matter is half accomplished."
Qin Feng's voice rang out again.
"According to what you said, even the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion at its peak was no match for them. So what makes you think we can do it now?"
Zhuge Tian looked thoughtful and said to Qin Feng seriously:
“I understand your doubts, young friend. To be honest, I didn’t have complete confidence before I came here and met you today.”
This all began more than a thousand years ago with Zhuge Yun, the patriarch of my Zhuge family.
Qin Feng became increasingly confused as he listened. "Please speak, senior."
Zhuge Tian recalled for a moment and slowly said:
"As I just told you, our Heavenly Desolate Continent is sealed off by the Heaven-Sealing Array. There are very few cultivators at the Emperor Realm among us, so we have no chance of resisting."
Until a thousand years ago, a deafening explosion shook the Tianhuang Continent, and this forbidden area suddenly appeared.
Originally filled with despair, Zhuge Yun, the head of the Zhuge family, suddenly had a whim and consulted a divination master.
He seemed to have touched something terrifying, causing him to vomit blood repeatedly.
However, Zhuge Yun was not disappointed at all. Instead, he encountered something happy and smiled broadly. Ignoring everyone's worries, he cast the divination again.
This time, he was even willing to sacrifice his lifespan to forcefully perform divination, hoping for a glimmer of hope in the face of uncertainty.
Finally, after the hanging was completed, Zhuge Yun exhausted his lifespan and departed contentedly.
He left a will stating that a thousand years later, the forbidden area would undergo a great change, and someone would emerge to alter the course of events.
The Zhuge family must do everything in their power to help him break free from this unprecedented prison.
Qin Feng naturally understood.
Many years ago, a man named Zhuge Yun cast a divination and said that a savior would appear a thousand years later, and that the descendants of the Zhuge family should do their best to assist him.
Qin Feng looked calmly at Zhuge Tian, "The person Senior Zhuge is referring to is me?"
Zhuge Tian nodded sharply, his gaze burning as he looked at Qin Feng.
"Of course, the art of divination, which seeks to glimpse the secrets of the future, may sound mysterious, but it is not without basis. There is a divine will guiding us in the dark."
Moreover, everything that Zhuge Yun had predicted has come true.
The forbidden area has undergone a major upheaval. Your sudden emergence, your fearlessness in the face of the Dark Hall's power, and your annihilation of three of its protectors all indicate that dawn is imminent.
Qin Feng pondered silently, having considered his own options, and wouldn't let Zhuge Tian's flattery cloud his judgment.
Fearing that Qin Feng wouldn't believe him and would think he was just making things up, Zhuge Tian quickly explained:
"Our Tianji Pavilion is able to display the words 'Tianji' (Heavenly Secrets) because we naturally understand some divination techniques. We are not just spouting nonsense to fool you, young friend."
Moreover, young friend, you have already offended the Dark Palace. Even if you don't cooperate with me, you have no way out.
Qin Feng smiled and said, "Senior, there's no need for further explanation. It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that such a prestigious title makes me feel flattered."
Zhuge Tian looked very serious.
"Young friend, you are exceptionally talented and possess extraordinary combat prowess at such a young age. Do not underestimate yourself."
However, dealing with the Dark Temple requires careful planning and the unification of more forces.
Qin Feng nodded with pleasure, "I wonder what plans Senior Zhuge has?"
Zhuge Tian had clearly planned this all along, and he explained it in detail.
"My suggestion is this: the Dark Temple has been hiding behind the scenes for too long."
Our first task is to unveil their ugly facade, allowing the people of the Heavenly Wasteland to see their true colors, so that we can unite everyone.
Qin Feng was puzzled, "If we join forces with those people, none of them are even at the Emperor Realm. How can they possibly be of any help to us?"
Zhuge Tian smiled.
"Young friend, you may not know this, but among those who fought against the Dark Palace back then, I am not the only one who survived; there were others as well."
They're just hiding. Once they see us rebelling against the Dark Temple, they'll naturally come out to help.
Qin Feng, however, was not optimistic. "They know they are no match for the Dark Palace, so they probably won't dare to make a move."
Zhuge Tian nodded.
“What you said is right, young friend. They wouldn’t have made a move if there was no hope at all.”
