Chapter 835: Making Up the Price Difference
In the legends of Blue Star, the innate trigram originated from Fuxi, who was the elder brother of Nuwa and also an innate being. He died during the great calamity of the Lich King, and Nuwa, as the Holy Mother of the Human Race, entrusted his true spirit to the Goddess Pingxin, allowing him to enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation and become one of the Three Sovereigns of the Human Race, guarding the Fire Cloud Cave.
During the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, King Wen inherited the legacy of Fuxi, but ultimately lacked sufficient foundation. He then established the Later Heaven Bagua for the human race, and from then on, people of later generations practiced the Later Heaven Bagua.
The Tianji clan is so powerful because of the innate Bagua (Eight Trigrams). Therefore, the Tianji clan is actually blessed with great fortune and is a clan that was born in response to the times. It is a clan favored by heaven and earth, which explains why it has been able to continue uninterrupted and become one of the oldest clans.
As Chen Futu was thinking this, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. It was an old man with white hair and a youthful face, with a ruddy complexion. He was a peak-level Martial God.
Chen Futu secretly thought to himself, "If we're talking about being cunning, the Tianji Clan is even more cunning."
Any one of Old Deng's players could easily defeat most of the strong players outside.
"The arrival of the Human Emperor is a great honor for the Celestial Clan."
The old man was quite eloquent, stroking his beard with a smile, exuding an air of otherworldly wisdom.
Chen Futu clasped his hands in a fist salute, "As expected of a master of the Tianji Clan, you were able to foresee my arrival."
"Hehe, we paid a considerable price to deduce the current Human Emperor, and we should thank the Human Emperor for his help in saving this girl." The old man introduced himself as the current Tianjizi.
Chen Futu knew that the so-called Tianjizi of this generation was just a smokescreen. Behind him were the previous generation Tianjizi, the generation before that, and so on. Who knew how many old relics had not yet appeared? Among those immortal beings, there were definitely those whose cultivation surpassed that of the divine path, but they would never show themselves again.
Otherwise, the emergence of such an existence would inevitably disrupt the secrets of heaven and the general trend, hindering deductions and contradicting the beliefs of the Heavenly Secrets Clan.
The three of them arrived at the waterside pavilion, but saw no disciples coming or going.
Tianjizi said with a smile, "This is not where the disciples are; they are all cultivating on Star Island."
"I see. I suppose you know the purpose of my visit." Chen Futu got straight to the point. Tianjizi nodded and said, "We witnessed the great battle hundreds of years ago. The Human Emperor's dominance over the world and his power to withstand the upper realm are still vivid in our minds."
"You flatter me. My family is now separated, and I wish to seek the path to the upper realm. I hope you will not hesitate to give me your guidance."
"The path to the upper realm does indeed exist, but it requires a specific opportunity."
"Appreciate further details."
"According to my calculations, in ten years, an envoy from the upper realm will descend to the mortal realm to question the human emperor. As long as you carry the Heavenly Secret Disc to conceal the heavenly secrets, you can use the same route they took to get there."
"It's that simple?" Chen Futu's eyes widened. Tianjizi said cheerfully, "That's right, it's that simple. The so-called passage between the two worlds is actually a barrier formed by the interaction of countless rules between the two regions. As long as you can deceive the net formed by those rules, you can travel freely. However, to be on the safe side, our clan is willing to have the Human Emperor imprint a formation to conceal the secrets of heaven, to ensure even greater security."
"Thank you then." Chen Futu felt relieved and then asked, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Tell me, how can I get you to inscribe the array patterns?"
"Hehe, as expected of the Human Emperor, you are so thoughtful. When our clan makes friends with others, we must be careful not to leave any karmic debts. As long as the Human Emperor is willing to lend a hand, the array pattern will be offered immediately."
"Okay, who to kill?"
Chen Futu asked, his imposing manner causing Tianjizi to shrink back. "Your Majesty need not do this. Please stay here for a couple of days. Once we are fully prepared, we can ask you to make your move."
"No problem." Chen Futu didn't care what he did, as long as he could get the array patterns.
Over the next few days, Chen Futu stayed on the island. The beautiful and picturesque environment seemed to wash away the pain in his heart, and his mood improved a lot. Moreover, Qin Xiaoman took him to visit Moon Island and Star Island.
Moon Island is the place for learning, while Star Island is the place for training and daily living. Therefore, Star Island is the largest of the three islands, and a special inner world has been created within it for the convenience of the tribespeople.
Chen Futu glanced at the group and estimated that it numbered around a million, a number that was likely deliberately maintained. Moreover, the vast majority of them lived in the Inner World, and only exceptionally talented geniuses could cultivate on the Star Island.
For example, Qin Xiaoman was such a genius that Chen Futu also learned her true identity: the contemporary Heavenly Goddess, who was born with a natural affinity for divine secrets and possessed innate deduction abilities.
"What's wrong with your eyes?" Chen Futu was intrigued by the talent. If he could lure the Goddess of Heavenly Secrets to Lizhou, he could replace that old man who only cultivated the Acquired Eight Trigrams.
Qin Xiaoman smiled bitterly and touched the black cloth covering her eyes. "My eyes are natural, but I'm not really blind. My ancestors don't let me open my eyes, saying that if I open them, I'll see the past and future of the people in front of me, and it will shorten my lifespan."
"So amazing?" Chen Futu became even more tempted.
So, she is another newbie, also a bug, and a local bug at that.
As for her eyes, Chen Futu made a bold guess: the favor Tianjizi asked for was probably about her eyes. If they could be repaired, perhaps her vision could be restored, and she could even use her innate deduction abilities without losing her lifespan.
"Yes, the ancestor told me that there is a secret place where a treasure exists that can repair my eyes, but we cannot go there. We need to rely on external assistance. However, that place is extremely dangerous. Ordinary people will die if they go in. The Human Emperor is the most suitable one."
"Hehe, I am indeed interested, but someone like you is very valuable. I need to ask Tianjizi for some more information to make up the difference."
These words made Qin Xiaoman giggle.
She never imagined that someone as powerful as the Human Emperor could have such a mercenary side.
Chen Futu explained, “There aren’t many opportunities to trade with the old folks of your clan, and I’m about to ascend to the upper realm. I urgently need to know some inside information, so making up the price difference is just right.”
Sure enough, after waiting for two more days, Tianjizi finally arrived. Before he could speak, Chen Futu made his stance clear.
Tianjizi said sullenly, "His Majesty the Human Emperor really doesn't suffer any loss."
"Everything else is negotiable, but I am unwilling to suffer any loss. I hope you can answer some questions and show your sincerity so that we can start cooperating."
"Very well, Your Majesty, please ask. I will answer truthfully as long as I can."
"I want to know what's going on in the Upper Realm, and who kidnapped my Yue'er."
This is the question Chen Futu most urgently wants to know.
Tianjizi pondered for a moment, then said mysteriously, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I'm going to fetch something, and you'll see when you see it."
After saying that, the old man disappeared.
He returned after about half a cup of tea's time, carrying a small coffin engraved with many strange runes.
Chen Futu asked in astonishment, "What regulations?"
"Hehe, Your Majesty, why don't you open this little coffin and take a look first?"
