Chapter 81: The Human Emperor's Hunting Battle, Wanting to Take Heaven's Fortune for All Living Things
“Fellow Daoist Ruogu, Fellow Daoist Shen.”
Qi Sibai sat upright in front of a low table in the room, smiled, nodded, and gestured for the two people who came in.
There were two cups of tea in front of him, steam rising from them at just the right temperature.
It looks like this tea has been brewed for a while.
He also waited for a while.
Chen Kuang walked up, sat down opposite him, and said directly:
"Brother Qi, did you know that I would encounter that demon sword?"
Qi Sibai smiled and said, "Didn't I tell Daoist Ruogu earlier that limited abilities are fine, as long as you have the will."
He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said leisurely, "Now it seems that my address was not left in vain."
Chen Kuang was speechless.
He was also surprised that it was too difficult for him, a rookie in the Enlightenment Realm who had just met Qi Sibai by chance, to find a magic sword like looking for a needle in a haystack. Qi Sibai even told him the address specifically, and he was really obsessed with this magic sword.
It turns out that I had already seen something a long time ago.
That's right, the Guantiansi were originally a group of fortune tellers...
Thinking of this, Chen Kuang raised his eyebrows again. However, Qi Sibai didn't seem to have figured out any other information besides the demon sword... such as Chen Kuang's true identity.
Qi Sibai's next words also indirectly confirmed some of his ideas.
Qi Sibai looked at him and asked curiously, "Come to think of it, I had just left when Brother Lin's ship was destroyed. I vaguely saw that the sword light seemed to be the work of the Xuanshen Dao Sect, but I couldn't figure out why they suddenly attacked."
"I originally thought this matter was only related to Fengyu Tower and the education officer who were all silenced that day..."
"But later I went to see Brother Lin, and I was puzzled by the fact that he, who was supposed to be the victim, remained silent on the matter."
"Fellow Daoist Ruogu was still here at the time, could you please help me clear up my confusion?"
Chen Kuang asked in return, "You could predict that I would encounter the demon sword, but you couldn't predict this?"
Qi Sibai smiled bitterly and said, "Fellow Daoist Ruogu, why do you think the Guantian Division declined?"
The duty of the Astronomical Observer is to observe destiny, record destiny, and pursue destiny... This is an extremely powerful ability, and if it still exists, it will naturally not decline.
But a skill would not disappear for no reason, not to mention that there was no disaster that would cut off the inheritance of the Guantian Division.
Chen Kuang's heart moved, and he frowned and said, "You...can't calculate the destiny?"
"Yes and no."
"Heaven's Mandate is the destiny of all things in the world, derived from the Way of Heaven."
Qi Sibai shook the tea in his cup and said in a deep voice, "Observing the Heavens has existed since ancient times. We each take the destiny we observe as our own responsibility and pursue it throughout our lives, until it disappears at a certain moment, like a line cut by invisible scissors."
He held up two fingers and made a "cutting" gesture.
"For us, destiny is such a clear line, with a beginning and an end."
"But since the ancient times ended with the Battle of Hunting Heaven, all 100,000 ancient nations perished, and the sects rose to prominence... the Observation Department can no longer see the beginning and end of this line."
"I could only vaguely see some side branches and get some omens. For example, the moment I saw Fellow Daoist Ruogu, I knew you would come to me about the demon sword."
"It sounds magical, but in reality it's no different from other sects that specialize in the art of divination."
Qi Sibai shook his head and sighed, "The Guantian Division has gradually faded into obscurity among the other sects."
Qi Sibai seemed to have been holding it in for a long time, and when he finally found someone to complain to, he rambled on and on.
Chen Kuang seemed to understand but not quite.
He vaguely knew about the "Battle of Hunting Sky", which was some fragmentary information in the experience memory that Huo Hengxuan had given him before.
In ancient times, there were no sects and thousands of countries coexisted. The countries at that time also had dragon veins and national destiny, but they were far more powerful than they are now.
People pray to heaven and receive heaven's destiny as the country's fate.
The citizens of a country can all practice with the help of the national fortune. The stronger the national fortune, the stronger the people will be. As a result, countless ancient strongmen were born.
The most powerful among them is the Human Emperor - Shuo.
But for some unknown reason, one day, the Human Emperor united all nations and held an unprecedented grand sacrifice. Afterwards, he declared war on the Heavenly Dao, wanting to take the Heavenly Dao's will and give it to all living beings!
It is known in history as the "Battle of Huntian".
Today, no one knows what the outcome of this massive battle was. All we know is that since then, all nations have perished, the ancient era has passed away, and in its place, numerous sects have emerged.
Therefore, it is now generally believed that the Human Emperor Shuo lost to the Heavenly Dao.
However, Qi Sibai's words in front of him seemed to provide another possibility.
If the way of heaven is safe and sound, how can destiny be unclear?
Qi Sibai smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I also know that it is impossible to revive the Guantian Division. It is not something I can do alone."
"However, the part of destiny that I can see is still what I should strive to pursue."
Chen Kuang wondered, "If this destiny is just empty in the end, wouldn't it be meaningless?"
Qi Sibai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I did it, so this is the meaning."
This guy is still an idealist...
Chen Kuang knew that Qi Sibai was not lying, so he smiled and said:
"I do know the truth of that day. Coincidentally, this matter is related to Chen Kuang, who was discussed by the others earlier."
Qi Sibai was stunned: "Chen Kuang?"
Chen Kuang nodded and said, "Brother Qi, you may not know that on that day, Chen Kuang was on the ship. Di Wu from Fengyu Tower wanted to attack him, but was stopped by the Xuanshen Dao Sect."
