Buzz!
Wang Chong's mind trembled and his face paled. The Origin Immortal Lord had clearly conveyed that the golden seed was also a great burden. However, Wang Chong was soon able to get a grip on his emotions.
”Senior, be at ease! This junior understands. No matter what the consequences are, this junior can bear the burden. This junior will also never allow this seed to fall into the hands of those who harbor ill intentions!”
An innocent man hiding jade in his walls could still bring disaster down on his head. Wang Chong was well aware of the principle behind this saying. But regardless of what sort of danger this seed brought, the evaluation of it by the Stone of Destiny alone meant that Wang Chong could not refuse it.
Moreover, Wang Chong had already been through many dangerous events, and any crown that was worth wearing was certain to be heavy. As long as this seed could assist him against the calamity, Wang Chong could not let it go!
The Origin Immortal Lord almost imperceptibly nodded.
”My mission is now complete, but your trials have only just begun. I cannot see your future, and to see you here is already my limit. Everything past this point about you is bursting with endless variables and chaos. I can only vaguely sense that in your life, you will encounter three mortal crises!”
”Senior!”
Wang Chong's heart thumped as he suddenly raised his head, a solemn look in his eyes.
The Origin Immortal Lord was a master of divination and could predict the future, while Wang Chong only knew of the dangers the world faced because he had been reborn.
This was an ability that only the gods could possess.
If the Origin Immortal Lord had predicted that he would face three crises in his life, then it was probably true, and Wang Chong did not dare to be careless.
”I will take care of the first crisis for you, but when I'm gone, you will have to rely on yourself. Starting from now, you must remember every word I speak.”
The Origin Immortal Lord's voice was faint and profound, like it was penetrating through the depths of spacetime to resound in Wang Chong's ear.
”On the third lunar eclipse, you will encounter the greatest trial in your entire life and lose that which is most precious to you. You will also sense the greatest isolation… Remember, when the time comes, no matter what the situation is, you must endure, and watch out for a person dressed in red!”
Buzz!
Wang Chong's mind was shaken, but the Origin Immortal Lord was already continuing.
”As for the last danger, it will come when light and shadow intersect. When that time comes, open up this silk bag that I give you. This will be the last thing I can help you with.”
There was a flash of light in front of Wang Chong, and then a silk bag from the Spring and Autumn Era appeared, carrying the symbol of a black Xuan Bird.
”Many thanks, Senior!”
Wang Chong lowered his head and respectfully took the silk bag. The Origin Immortal Lord was a mythical figure who had lived for a thousand years and could see the secrets of the heavens. Ordinary people could go their entire lives without encountering such a being.
To have him divine the secrets of the heavens was a unique opportunity that others didn't even have a chance to beg for. Wang Chong did not dare to take his instructions lightly.
”In addition, be careful of those men in black wearing masks! They will be your greatest obstacle!” the Origin Immortal Lord said.
Bang!
Wang Chong shivered in shock, a completely different expression on his face as he raised his head.
”Senior knows those men in black?”
Wang Chong's mind was reeling. Those mysterious men in black had troubled him for a very long time, and he knew neither their origins nor their goals.
But these people were determined to chase him down.
Even the Origin Immortal Palace hidden deep underground contained their traces.
Moreover, from what he had seen, the men in black were intricately connected to the Origin Immortal lineage. If there was one person who could answer his questions, it was the master of divination who had lived for more than one thousand years, the Origin Immortal Lord.
The Origin Immortal Lord had always given off an unfathomable and transcendent aura, as if nothing in the world could ever perturb him. But when Wang Chong mentioned the men in black, he saw a complicated flicker of emotion in his eyes that he had never seen before.
They really did have some sort of connection!
Wang Chong's heart thumped. And the Origin Immortal Lord finally exposed a corner of the iceberg that was the men in black.
”I and they should never have existed in this world.”
The Origin Immortal Lord's words set off an earthquake in Wang Chong's mind, and his eyes flew open.
