"Sect Master Leng, my business here is concluded, and I should depart," Xu Chuan said to Leng Tianhan after dealing with the Yin Yang Holy Son.
"Thank you, Young Master Xu, for your timely assistance!" Leng Tianhan expressed his profound gratitude.
If not for Xu Chuan's intervention,
His Lingxiao Sect would have been annihilated this time.
Now, even a Heavenly King realm expert had fallen within the Lingxiao Sect, and it was believed no one would dare to trouble him again.
The crisis was completely resolved.
Leng Tianhan did not try to keep Xu Chuan, for he knew it would be futile!
Such an unparalleled prodigy was not someone his humble Lingxiao Sect could retain.
"Sect Master Leng, there's no need for such gratitude. It was a fair trade."
"Then, I bid farewell!"
With that, Xu Chuan turned and left the Lingxiao Sect.
He already knew the location of the Emperor's Treasury from the Yin Yang Holy Son's storage ring.
It was precisely because the Yin Yang Holy Son had inadvertently learned of the treasury's key that the Yin Yang Holy Land was so eager to find it.
However, Xu Chuan had not found the missing piece of the key.
But it didn't matter. Xu Chuan decided to go there first and wait, like a hunter waiting for prey, for the owner to come to him.
Behind Leng Tianhan, Leng Wushuang watched Xu Chuan with a reluctant gaze.
She had words to say, and her lips parted, but they remained unspoken.
The chasm between them was like an insurmountable gulf.
Leng Tianhan also noticed his daughter's feelings and advised, "My dear daughter, give up. A person like Young Master Xu is destined to be beyond our reach."
Xu Chuan was destined to become an unparalleled expert and to shine brightly across the entire Xuantian Continent!
"Father, I understand!"
"But I will not give up. I will cultivate diligently and strive to follow his footsteps!"
Leng Wushuang declared with unwavering resolve.
She had the confidence!
And this confidence stemmed from the cultivation memories in her mind!
She firmly believed that by cultivating step by step according to the memories, she could quickly catch up to Xu Chuan's pace and express her feelings in person!
...
Of all this, Xu Chuan was completely unaware.
At this moment, he was far from the Lingxiao Sect.
He was flying at an extremely high speed.
Just moments ago, as he was leaving the Lingxiao Sect, he had sensed a very subtle aura.
The owner of this aura had been observing everything happening at the Lingxiao Sect.
Only after the Yin Yang Holy Son was slain by Xu Chuan did this aura quickly leave its original position.
However, no matter how hidden it was, it was still detected by Xu Chuan, who possessed the ability to discern all things.
He then followed this aura, wanting to see who was lurking in the shadows, observing everything!
While tracking, Xu Chuan also activated the Heaven-Deceiving Jade Talisman, concealing his figure.
After a day and a night of pursuit, the owner of the aura finally stopped in a place called Tianhuo City and entered a residence while hidden.
Xu Chuan followed closely behind, entering the residence. The defensive formation of the residence was like nothing to Xu Chuan, posing no pressure whatsoever.
Hidden within the residence, Xu Chuan could clearly see that the figure he was pursuing was a mass of black mist.
As the black mist dissipated, a cloaked man in black appeared in the courtyard. This person had a cultivation base of around the seventh level of the Reincarnation realm.
He knocked on the door of a room and entered. Xu Chuan followed him inside.
"Reporting to Master, the Yin Yang Holy Son is dead. The mission has failed!"
In the room, the man in black knelt before a young man, his voice low and filled with trepidation as he reported.
"Hmm?"
"How did the Yin Yang Holy Son die?"
Upon hearing his subordinate's report, the young man's eyes snapped open in surprise.
"A young man appeared in the Lingxiao Sect, accompanied by a peak Heavenly King realm demon beast. Not only did he kill the Yin Yang Holy Son, but he also killed a Heavenly King realm expert from the Yin Yang Holy Land!"
The man in black briefly recounted what he had witnessed.
"What!"
Hearing this, the young man stood up directly, his face filled with disbelief.
"You may leave. Let me think!" After a moment of contemplation, the young man dismissed the man in black and sat back in his chair, lost in thought.
"This is not right. This is completely different from the outcome I foresaw. What is happening?"
The young man was deeply puzzled.
Meanwhile, Xu Chuan, hidden in the shadows, heard this and was somewhat surprised. This young man possessed the ability to predict the future.
His interest was immediately piqued.
He then used his system to check the man's script information.
[Name: Jin Ao]
[Race: Xuantian Human Race]
[Realm: Ninth Level Reincarnation Realm]
[Talent: Invincible King]
[Fate: Foreknowledge of the Future (Gold), Chosen One (Gold), Cautious and Discreet (Purple), Mastermind (Purple)]
[Divine Abilities: Great Prophecy, Qi Luck Absorption, Spiritual Assassination]
[Life Script: Protagonist of "God-Tier Prophet"]
[Life Trajectory: Possessed a brief talent for foreseeing the future from a young age. During a village raid by bandits, he narrowly escaped death thanks to this talent, but everyone else, including his parents, died at the hands of the bandits. He then relied on his prophetic talent to find various opportunities, gradually reaching his current position, and eventually becoming the Prophet Emperor.]
[Opportunity: In ten days, the Emperor's Treasury will appear. He holds a portion of the treasury key and, using his foreknowledge, obtained the World Tree Seed from the treasury.]
[Fate]
[Foreknowledge of the Future: Can predict upcoming events or things beneficial to oneself, and can also predict others, but those with great fortune cannot be predicted.]
[Chosen One: The favored child of destiny, destined to rise and protected by fate.]
[Cautious and Discreet: Careful and prudent, never putting all eggs in one basket, highly sensitive to danger, and extremely cautious in everything he does.]
[Mastermind: A hidden hand pulling the strings, secretly controlling everything.]
...
"I never expected to encounter a Chosen One just by tracking someone randomly?"
"This luck is incredible!"
Xu Chuan was shocked and also delighted.
He had been wondering where to find a protagonist to plunder opportunities from, and here one was, delivered right to his doorstep!
World Tree Seed.
Upon seeing this item, even Xu Chuan could not hide his excitement.
This item was recorded in Nan Lao's inheritance as a top-tier item for opening up an inner world.
The inner world opened using this item would be the strongest inner world.
The strength of an inner world was the key measure of a Supreme Emperor's power!
Just like the Ancient Hall World, which was Nan Lao's inner world. Before his death, he had transferred his inner world into the Golden Ancient Hall.
The Ancient Hall World at that time was a medium-sized world, but after losing Nan Lao as its host, it had degenerated into a small world.
If he could obtain this item, combined with Nan Lao's method for opening an inner world, he might be able to open an inner world at the Tongtian realm!
In the future, when breaking through to the Supreme Emperor realm, he might ascend to become a powerful figure among Supreme Emperors!
"World Tree Seed, it's mine!"
Xu Chuan's thoughts raced, and in that instant, he made up his mind.
Such an opportunity was destined only for him!
"The missing part of the treasury key is actually in his hands!"
At this point, Xu Chuan discovered something else.
"Could everything concerning the Yin Yang Holy Son have been orchestrated by him?"
Looking at Jin Ao's fate, Xu Chuan began to form some suspicions.
