Though Wang Chong’s mind was seething, he didn’t lose himself and remained calm and collected.

Wang Chong once more sorted through all the details in his mind.

Buzz!

Wang Chong’s eyes passed over the Xuanyuan Sword on his waist, and his body suddenly trembled in shock.

Luo Supreme’s parting words suddenly appeared in his mind. ‘Since the Origin Immortal Lord gave you the Xuanyuan Sword, I trust that he told you much more, including how to deal with this crisis.’

Wang Chong hadn’t paid much attention to those words at the time, but now, Wang Chong recalled something.

The Origin Immortal Lord was a master of divination, and before his death, he had told Wang Chong several prophecies, including the third lunar eclipse and the matter of the Celestial Palace. But he had not told him any specific solution to them. However, Wang Chong did recall that before their final parting, the Origin Immortal Lord had given him a silk bag and told him that when the final danger came, at the moment when light and shadow intersected, he should open the bag.

“Is now the moment when light and shadow intersect?” Wang Chong muttered, his brows creasing.

Wang Chong didn’t know if now was that moment the Origin Immortal Lord spoke of, but his mother could not wait any longer. Moreover, the Celestial Palace’s power wasn’t just wiping away memories regarding him, it was wiping away their souls. On the streets, there were already many people with slack and unfocused gazes, though they themselves had not realized it yet.

If it were not stopped now, then he wouldn’t even be able to reach that moment where light and shadow intersected.

Moreover, Heaven was growing stronger by the day. Once he repaired the Pantheon Pearl and created another perfect avatar, he would not be as easily defeated as he had been back at the steppe.

Buzz!

Wang Chong quickly took out the Origin Immortal Lord’s silk bag.

The bag was about the size of a palm and had been exquisitely woven, with even strands of gold woven in.

As he took out the silk bag, Wang Chong also spotted the image of a black Xuan Bird atop it, the same as it had been back in the Origin Immortal Palace.

The silk bag pulsed with strange energy, and there was also a seal left by the Origin Immortal Lord. In normal circumstances, even Wang Chong would have found it hard to ‘see’ what was inside.

Of course, if Wang Chong really wanted to, with his level of cultivation, he could do it.

However, Wang Chong had always respected the Origin Immortal Lord’s orders and had not lightly touched this bag.

Now, however, Wang Chong felt a strong impulse as he gazed at the bag.

He sensed that the Origin Immortal Lord had predicted Heaven’s use of the Celestial Palace and predicted that he would be in this situation. Although the Origin Immortal Lord had not possessed the cultivation or strength to resolve this crisis, he had undoubtedly left behind clues.

More importantly, the Origin Immortal Lord had predicted his arrival in the Origin Immortal Cave more than one thousand years before the actual event. Perhaps he had even predicted when he would open this silk bag.

If that was so, opening the silk bag was actually the correct decision.

These thoughts rapidly ran through his mind, and Wang Chong soon focused his mind.

He would know whether it was right or not very soon.

Swish!

Wang Chong swiftly removed the binding thread on the bag, the sound almost inaudible. At this moment, his heart was thumping with curiosity.

The Origin Immortal Lord’s divinations were flawless, but nobody knew what would be inside the bag until it was opened.

Buzz!

As the silk bag opened up, so was the secret the Origin Immortal Lord had left within it revealed.

Even before Wang Chong could fully open the bag and see what was inside, a golden pillar of light that was the width of two fingers erupted from the bag, almost hitting Wang Chong in the face.

The beam of light focused and condensed, quickly transforming in the air until it formed into a line of words.

“This!”

Upon seeing that line of words, Wang Chong was left speechless.

Wang Chong had originally believed that the Origin Immortal Lord had left a slip of paper or something similar in the bag, or at least something that would be related to his current situation. But Wang Chong had never expected this.

‘Do not divulge the secrets of the heavens. It can be done once, but not twice.’

These were the words that the golden light from the bag had condensed into.

The words continued to slowly circle in the air, lingering like a warning.

Buzz!

After a few moments, the words turned back into a beam of light and disappeared into Wang Chong’s forehead, traveling through his meridians and into his dantian, eventually becoming a seal that floated over his dantian.

“So… now is not the time where light and shadow intersect that the Origin Immortal Lord spoke of? I opened it early?” Wang Chong muttered, somewhat disappointed.

Those words the Origin Immortal Lord had left seemed to indicate that the Origin Immortal Lord had predicted he would open the silk bag. This was what the ‘it can be done once, but not twice’ line had meant.

The secrets of heaven were infinite and were not unchanging. Though Wang Chong didn’t understand divination, he did understand the principle that they could not be lightly divulged.

“Mm? Wait!”
