Secret Buyer

Chapter 369 - 274: The Truth of Destiny—Even Daluo Pays Reverence

"I bear... the heavenly destiny?"

Chen Nuanyu asked in confusion, raising her head to look at that immensely imposing elder of the Western Sect.

A Venerate.

The elder was a hundred zhang tall and had carved a mountain into a great seat, sitting upon it with strands of white beard hanging down, reaching the ground,

As the wind blew, the white beard fluttered like a waterfall.

"That’s right, the heavenly destiny."

The elder of the Western Sect nodded serenely, admiring the tiny girl:

"Your courage is quite commendable. When many stunning juniors come to pay respects to me, they tremble with fear, humble and timid."

"You are among the few who can remain neither servile nor overbearing. Indeed worthy of bearing the heavenly destiny."

Chen Nuanyu remained silent for a moment.

It wasn’t that she was neither servile nor arrogant; having seen the Great Celestial Venerate, meeting a Divine Spirit Venerate did not leave much of an impression.

After hesitating for a moment,

Chen Nuanyu cautiously asked:

"Elder, what exactly is the heavenly destiny you speak of?"

The elder spoke calmly:

"What you bear is, in fact, a part of the heavenly destiny. The Pope calculated a complete ’heavenly destiny event,’ the content of which is quite simple."

"Enter the Eight Trigrams Furnace and be smelted by a flame called the Six Ding Divine Fire. If you survive, this heavenly destiny event will be completed."

After a pause, the enormous elder, sitting aloft on the mountain ridge, continued:

"According to the Pope, in this way, you can obtain an innate divine power called Fire Eyes Golden Gaze."

Six Ding Divine Fire?

Chen Nuanyu’s pupils contracted:

"Elder, what does that have to do with me? The Six Ding Divine Fire within me has long since vanished."

"No matter."

The elder replied gently,

"Though the Six Ding Divine Fire has vanished, it was nurtured in your heart for eighteen years. Your heart can serve as the ’Eight Trigrams Furnace’ described in the heavenly destiny event."

After a brief pause,

He gently waved his hand, his sleeve stirring up wind and clouds:

"Go and rest well. During this time, we will provide you with a celestial medicine-grade medicinal bath, from which you will reap great benefits."

"When everything is ready, I will enter your heart, remain for forty-nine days, and complete this heavenly destiny event."

The elder’s face broke into a smile once more:

"At that time, I will not only gain the Fire Eyes Golden Gaze but, according to the Pope’s calculations, may also obtain an important clue regarding a Heavenly Destiny and possibly even trigger another heavenly destiny event..."

Chen Nuanyu gathered her courage and tentatively asked:

"Heavenly Destiny? Another heavenly destiny event?"

The elder slowly nodded, not hiding anything, and calmly explained:

"The suspected heavenly destiny related to the Celestial Position of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven and the Celestial Position of the Victorious Fighting Buddha. As for what the new heavenly destiny event is?"

"It requires me to enter your heart, cultivate quietly for forty-nine days, and only then will it be known... Leave now."

Chen Nuanyu nodded, and under the guidance of a Divine Favored, retreated into an ancient palace,

At that moment, several Upper Envoy-level figures had prepared a bath for her,

Furthermore, there was a Celestial Human-level Walking Under God, pouring celestial human essence blood into the bath.

The bath glowed brilliantly.

"Miss Chen, please."

The highly esteemed Walking Under God, looking slightly pale, actually bowed to Chen Nuanyu before leaving.

The immense bath was left with only Chen Nuanyu.

She undressed, her white and smooth skin glowing, as she walked barefoot into the bath, slowly immersing herself within.

With the nourishment of celestial medicine and celestial human essence blood,

Chen Nuanyu’s entire body began to emit a faint Flying Immortal Light Rain, with her Essence, Qi, and Spirit undergoing a major transformation!

She let out a satisfied low hum.

Thud

A soft tapping sound suddenly echoed beside her ear.

Chen Nuanyu’s eyes snapped open, her Spiritual Will had, under indescribable guidance, reached the eighty-one jade steps.

Beside her stood a few other dim and shadowy figures.

"Greetings to all." The seventh seat, who had nearly suffered disaster, greeted everyone gratefully:

"If it weren’t for all of your assistance that day, I might have..."

"No matter, helping each other is as it should be."

The fifth seat’s Buddha Son said with a smile:

"Besides, the true power at work that day wasn’t us, but that mysterious being who rode the Divine Chariot and wielded the Immortal Bow..."

As they discussed the great changes of that day, they walked toward the Eight Sceneries Palace.

Standing before the door of the Taoist Palace,

Someone gazed downward and muttered in a daze:

"What is that?"

Looking intently, they were shocked to discover that the Taoist Palace was no longer floating in the void but was connected to the vast Profound Yellow Land.

The Profound Yellow Land exuded a unique Dao resonance that, just by looking, naturally instilled an answer in their hearts.

This is...

The Celestial Pillar.

But what is the Celestial Pillar?

Everyone was bewildered, except for Miss Ming Yue, who seemed to have thought of something. Her eyes widened as she murmured:

"Could it be... Buzhou?"

Gazes fell on this mysterious and powerful eighth seat, and the Ninth Seat Yuan Tiandao curiously asked:

"Eighth Seat, what is Buzhou?"

Miss Ming Yue, dazed, murmured:

"In ancient times — the ancient epoch of the old world, Mount Buzhou was the Divine Pillar that supported the heavens, standing for countless millennia since the day heaven and earth were formed."

"Later, in the ancient epoch of the old world, Buzhou was destroyed, the Celestial Pillar collapsed, the earth’s veins shattered, causing the sky to tilt northwest and the earth to sink southeast, almost leading to the universe’s destruction..."

Everyone was shocked: a pillar that supports the heavens??

Huang Qiuxian muttered:

"So, this is the broken Celestial Pillar?"

Miss Ming Yue glanced at him and said:

"A broken Buzhou couldn’t possibly connect to the Eight Sceneries Taoist Palace. This is a complete Buzhou."

Huang Qiuxian was even more amazed:

"Didn’t you say that the Celestial Pillar was broken?"

Miss Ming Yue fell silent for a moment and then softly said:

"Perhaps the Celestial Pillar was reconstructed by the Great Dao Ancestor, or perhaps..."

She voiced her shivering speculation:

"Under our feet is the ancient epoch, the old world before the Celestial Pillar was broken."
