Chapter 1953: Another Treasure Acquired!
Upon hearing these words, Zhou Yu couldn’t help but pause slightly.
Then, a deep and mysterious look appeared in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, this person has detected me so quickly and accurately stated my identity.
"Interesting!"
Zhou Yu no longer concealed his aura, his figure flickered, and he instantly passed through the thunderstorm, appearing on the terrace.
Upon seeing Zhou Yu, the elderly man immediately and respectfully bowed again.
"Mr. Zhou, I’ve waited many years for you, and finally, you have arrived."
The words of the elderly man left Zhou Yu momentarily speechless.
Then he looked at the elder and asked:
"You know me?"
The elder nodded and said:
"Certainly!"
"Actually, this is not the first time we have met."
"Oh?"
Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow.
The elder continued:
"Twenty-six years ago, shortly after you were born, I found you."
"To be precise, I found you together with the Primordial elder!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu’s eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance.
"You found me together with the old man?"
"You know each other?"
The elder replied respectfully:
"Yes!"
"Years ago, the Primordial elder found my mentor and sought his help. My mentor sacrificed his life to predict the impending appearance of the Chaos Heavenly Pearl."
"After he made the prediction, he passed away."
"Later, I inherited my mentor’s legacy and, together with the Primordial elder, found you."
"You should already know what happened afterward."
Saying this, the elder sighed.
"My mentor and the Primordial elder dedicated their lives to the affairs of the Human Clan Plane, ultimately burning out their own lives."
"But fortunately, their sacrifices were all worthwhile."
"If they were in the Netherworld, knowing that the Human Clan Plane is now safe, they surely would be gratified."
Hearing these words, Zhou Yu immediately understood.
So that’s how it was.
However, new doubts arose in Zhou Yu’s mind.
He looked at the elder and said:
"Which Dao does your sect belong to?"
Upon hearing Zhou Yu’s question, the elder smiled bitterly.
"We can hardly be considered any Dao."
"Actually, the ancestors of the Bagua Gate were once part of the cultivation Dao."
"But later, due to the upheaval of heaven and earth, the cultivation inheritance was exterminated, and the lineage of the Bagua Gate was almost destroyed."
"Later, the surviving ancestors of the Bagua Gate managed to find some ancestral inheritance through various means and passed them down."
"Sadly, the inherited knowledge was too sparse, and most were severely incomplete, causing the descendants of the Bagua Gate to suffer countless Heavenly Curses during cultivation!"
"Heavenly Curses?" Zhou Yu showed a puzzled expression.
The elder sighed and said:
"A Heavenly Curse is the curse of the Heavenly Dao."
"As our sect has touched upon too many celestial secrets, every ancestor has died miserably."
"By my generation, the Bagua Gate has been passed down for three thousand nine hundred sixty-six generations."
"Yet, only I remain."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu felt a shock in his heart.
He hadn’t expected the Bagua Gate to have such a tragic past.
"In fact, thirty-some years ago, the Bagua Gate, including my mentor and my fellow disciples, had seventeen members."
"But to predict the emergence of the Chaos Heavenly Pearl, my mentor, along with sixteen fellow disciples, all passed away."
"I survived by sheer luck, waiting here for Mr. Zhou’s arrival."
Upon hearing these words, Zhou Yu felt a complex emotion surging within him.
He couldn’t imagine how the old man convinced him to pay such a high price for divination.
But now that the situation is like this, he can’t change anything.
Zhou Yu sighed slightly and said:
"Why did you wait for my arrival?"
Suddenly, the elder ’plopped’ to the ground, kneeling directly.
"Mr. Zhou, I have a request; please agree to it!"
The elder’s sudden action surprised Zhou Yu.
He hurriedly helped the elder to his feet.
"Just speak your mind directly."
The elder tightly held Zhou Yu’s hand and said:
"Mr. Zhou, I know that you are now a cultivator."
"Moreover, my mentor foretold that your path will go far, perhaps even beyond this plane."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu’s heart was surprised.
He hadn’t expected the Bagua Gate to predict even this.
It’s truly no simple feat.
The elder continued:
"The sole wish of the Bagua Gate’s ancestral lineage is to return to the sect!"
"If in the future you encounter people from our sect, please ask them to guide our lineage back."
After finishing his request, the elder gazed at Zhou Yu imploringly.
Zhou Yu paused for a moment before asking:
"The people from your sect you refer to, who are they?"
The elder said trembling:
"According to the information passed down by the Bagua Gate ancestors about the sect, there’s only one name: Astrology Sect!"
"The Astrology Sect should be a cultivation power."
"We know nothing besides this."
Saying this, the elder looked anxiously at Zhou Yu and said:
"Mr. Zhou, I know this request is difficult."
"But please, under any circumstances, agree to deliver this message to our sect’s people if you have the opportunity in the future, asking them to guide our lineage back."
"Besides this, I request nothing else."
"And regardless of whether Mr. Zhou agrees, I have prepared a generous gift for you."
After speaking, the elder turned and approached the ancient Astrology Platform.
Then he lovingly caressed the Astronomy Platform with a hint of reluctance.
Suddenly, he slammed his palm onto the Astrology Platform.
Crack!
The ancient Astrology Platform instantly shattered into pieces.
Immediately, a majestic aura emanated from within, accompanied by starlight.
Upon seeing this object, Zhou Yu’s pupils contracted sharply; he stared at the place emitting starlight, showing a look of shock.
"What is this?"
From the broken middle of the Astrology Platform, a spindle-shaped crystal stone emerged.
This spindle-shaped crystal stone is about one yard long, but its two ends have obvious signs of being shattered.
Nonetheless, it did not affect its ability to still emit a majestic aura.
The elder looked at Zhou Yu and said:
"This item is called the Nine Heavens Star Shuttle."
"An ancestral treasure discovered by chance."
"Based on ancestral research, this item is crafted using Star Core materials, possessing unfathomable power."
"I believe with Mr. Zhou’s vision, you can undoubtedly identify this as a Magic Treasure for cultivators."
"Today, I gift this item to Mr. Zhou, hoping that it might lend you a hand in the future!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yu came forward to the Nine Heavens Star Shuttle; he reached out to touch it, and his heart revealed excitement again.
Indeed, this is a Magic Treasure.
Despite being damaged, its power remains considerable.
Securing this Magic Treasure increases the odds of crossing the Plane’s divide.
Zhou Yu took a deep breath and said:
"Then I’ll accept it without reservation."
"This item, I shall take!"
"Regarding the matter of finding the Astrology Sect, if the opportunity arises in the future, I will surely attempt to do so..."
