Divining Fortune and Misfortune!

Everyone was stunned... The entire audience was completely stunned...

The four clan leaders, upon their return from their trip to the Vast Heaven Holy Land, have thoroughly explained the six rites performed there.

But no one expected that Vermilion Bird would arrive in the Spirit Beast Continent to propose marriage in such a short time.

Not to mention the Clan Head Hua, all the big shots were completely baffled to hear that the Vermilion Bird had arrived so early.

A pure red wild goose is an absolute rarity. It's not that it's particularly valuable, but rather that it's extremely rare. Even if the entire Vast Heaven Holy Land mobilized the Three Continents and offered an astronomical price to search for it, it would still take two or three months to find one.

After all, if the Vast Heaven Holy Land said it wanted pure red geese, then they absolutely had to be pure red, without even a single stray feather. Otherwise, wouldn't that lower the Vast Heaven Holy Land's prestige?

Wild geese are found all over the Three Continents, and there are quite a few mutated wild geese... but those that are still red after mutation are extremely rare.

Not only red, but also pure red and bright red, which represents joy and celebration, are extremely rare.

On top of that, it needs to be completely free of any stray feathers... Finding such a goose is tens of thousands of times more difficult than finding a peerless genius...

Therefore, according to the estimates from the Spirit Beast Continent, it should take at least two or three months.

We'd barely gotten back to the Spirit Beast Continent, hadn't even had a chance to drink some water... and then the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird arrived...

So it's hard not to suspect that your Vast Heaven Holy Land might have accidentally dyed a wild goose...

But at this moment, who the hell could have imagined that the Vast Heaven Holy Land didn't even bother looking for Dayan... the Vast Heaven Holy Land directly sent the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird here?

So in this case, the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird is not only the matchmaker, but also the wild goose?

But seeing the Vermilion Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird declare himself to be a wild goose after transforming into his true form... everyone in the entire Spirit Beast Continent was completely silent!

Because at this moment, the Vermilion Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird didn't give any of them a chance to react before speaking.

As everyone knows, the Four Sacred Beasts have grown up alongside the Beast God. What outsiders don't know is that Vermilion Bird wasn't born as Vermilion Bird; he evolved into Vermilion Bird step by step through various secret techniques and cultivation.

Before he evolved into the Vermilion Bird, he was actually a pure red goose... and a pure red goose without any stray feathers.

Vermilion Bird said that she has never forgotten her past as a wild goose, a secret that most people don't know... So today, I'm not only the matchmaker, but also the wild goose that's the betrothal gift...

The entire audience. "..."

At this moment, the Ming Clan Head was moved to tears...

If we're talking about someone, it has to be the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird... He's utterly shameless when it comes to spouting nonsense...

Is this Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird taking us for idiots? You say you were once a pure red goose... that you evolved from a pure red goose into Vermilion Bird? Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird... have you no shame?

Whether someone has a sense of shame or not isn't the point; the point is that Vermilion Bird is saying, "Tell me, do you believe me or not?"

Whether you believe it or not, I, Vermilion Bird, believe it. And if you have any doubts, you can always go to Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Xuanwu to verify this...

They could swear on their lives that I, Vermilion Bird, am absolutely a purebred wild goose! Pure red with no stray feathers whatsoever...

In response to the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird's shameless remarks, the four clan leaders unanimously agreed that the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird was absolutely right... "We could tell at a glance that you were once a pure red wild goose..."

Of course, Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird, we believe in you, but next time could you please come up with a slightly more plausible story?

Even if you brought us a white goose and told us that it suddenly mutated into white on its way here, and that it was originally pure red, we wouldn't find it unacceptable...

But since the Vermilion Bird has gone all out and admitted that it is a wild goose, what else is there to say about the Spirit Beast Continent?

So the first step of proposing marriage is considered complete... The subsequent questioning of the name is just a formality, as the Spirit Beast Continent had already prepared Empress Ji Ya's birth date and time.

Just as the Vermilion Bird Clan was preparing to return to the Vast Heaven Holy Land with Empress Ji Ya's birth date and time to go through the formalities again, the Clan Head Hua spoke up, "The Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird should know that in our Spirit Beast Continent, those of noble status, whether marrying or getting married, must have the Zhou Clan conduct the divination for good or bad fortune..."

As a former member of the Spirit Beast Continent, Vermilion Bird understood what the Clan Head Hua had said.

Even during the era of the Four Continents, the Four Great Clans of the Spirit Beast Continent experienced countless changes and changed hands many times.

If you're talking about the strongest clan, there might be different clans in different eras of the Spirit Beast Continent.

However, the Zhou Clan is an extremely special existence in the Spirit Beast Continent. The Zhou Clan has been passed down since the era of the Four Continents. Although the Zhou Clan has never been the most powerful, their existence cannot be ignored.

Because the Zhou Clan family possessed the ability to divine good and bad fortune, although this ability was certainly Dharma Aspect to the Great Prophecy Arts.

However, the Zhou Clan's divination skills are unique. Whether in the past or present, when various clans in the Spirit Beast Continent marry off their daughters, they will go to the Zhou Clan to inquire about the auspiciousness of the marriage.

Of course, everyone knows that this is just a formality, because over the years, no one has ever heard of receiving an ominous sign when they went to the Zhou Clan family to have their child's fortune told.

Even if an ominous sign does appear unexpectedly, Zhou Clan Old Master Zhou, specifically the current diviner of the Spirit Beast Continent, to perform a ritual to ward off misfortune and bring good fortune. After the ritual, they generally receive the auspicious sign they are expected to receive.

For example, the eldest son of the second branch of the Ming Clan got married last month, and received an ominous sign during the first divination of good or bad fortune.

Upon hearing this news, the Second Master of the Ming Clan personally went to the Zhou Clan and asked the diviner, Old Master Old Master Zhou, to take action. He spent some resources to have Old Master Zhou perform a series of rituals, and in the end, it was not only an auspicious omen but an extremely auspicious one!

Therefore, everyone in the Spirit Beast Continent knows that the Zhou Clan family's divination skills have basically become a traditional practice by now.

As for the ominous sign... to put it bluntly, if it's a joyous occasion and you go to the Zhou Clan family for divination, do you think they'll do it for free?

You take a little bit of resources, and in the end you get a good omen and are happy, while the Zhou Clan family gets the real benefits. Isn't that a happy thing for everyone?

Of course, under normal circumstances, Zhou Clan family would offer auspicious omens and blessings to impoverished families seeking good fortune, without charging any resources in return...

Therefore, Clan Head Hua indicated that this was merely a formality.

Vermilion Bird vaguely remembered this thing, but since it's just a formality, why wait? Let's hurry to the Zhou Clan's place. After completing the Naji ceremony, I, Vermilion Bird, will have completed my mission.

Without the slightest delay, the four clan leaders, along with various bigwigs from the Spirit Beast Continent, went directly to the Zhou Clan!

Good heavens! With the arrival of the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird, the four clan lords, and countless big shots from all sides, the entire Divination City, where the Zhou Clan is located, was in an uproar!

After all, who is it that could afford such a large-scale wedding and marriage?

Soon, everyone was frantically inquiring, and what they found almost caused an uproar!

What the heck? Empress Ji Ya and Gu Holy Lord Gu Mingchao of Vast Heaven Holy Land, have become Daoist partners? And now the Six Rites have reached the Najib stage?

How come we haven't heard a single word about this...?

This is normal, after all, it has only been two days since Empress Ji Ya emerged from seclusion, so the news has not been fully released yet.

However, the fact that Vermilion Bird had descended upon Divination City along with so many powerful figures could no longer be kept secret.

So in a very short time, the news spread like wildfire from the Divination City, reaching Three Continents!

Regardless of how the outside world reacts, at this moment, with Vermilion Bird and so many big shots arriving, good heavens, Zhou Tonghe, the current head of the Zhou Clan family Vermilion Bird, personally led all the direct descendants of the Lineage, except for the recently secluded Old Master Zhou, to receive them.

Don't be fooled by the Zhou Clan's considerable reputation in the Spirit Beast Continent. Everyone knows that the Zhou Clan family isn't a fighting Lineage; they're just fortune tellers who predict people's fortunes. They have status, but how can they compare to the Four Great Clans and these powerful figures...?

Not to mention comparing it to the Vermilion Bird, which represents the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

Therefore, Zhou Tonghe kept a smile on his face the whole way, afraid that he might say something wrong and cause trouble for the Zhou Clan.

As various fragrant teas and snacks were served, Zhou Tonghe finally learned the purpose of so many big shots' visit.

Upon hearing that this matter involved the Holy Land Supreme Gu Mingchao and Empress Ji Ya, Zhou Tonghe was so excited he almost peed himself!

Look... those who say our Zhou Clan has declined... do you see that?!

Even the Holy Land Supreme Gu Mingchao, and Empress Ji Ya have to come to our Zhou Clan to seek out Naji!

This is the status of the Zhou Clan!

What excited Zhou Tonghe even more was that he had struck gold... he had really struck gold this time!

You should know that when ordinary people come to receive good fortune, if it is an auspicious sign, they will give some money as a token of their appreciation; but if it is an inauspicious sign, they will give even more money to "break the curse."

Therefore, the Zhou Lineage has a very keen understanding of auspicious and inauspicious omens. For poor families, it's considered a good omen, and they're happy to give some money as a token of their appreciation, since life isn't easy for anyone, right?

If you encounter someone who's rich and powerful, first give them a bad omen, then claim you have a way to turn bad luck into good. Once they've paid you a little money, you don't need to worry about whether the Zhou Clan actually has any such means; you'll definitely get great fortune!

Last month, when the second branch of the Ming Clan came, it was the old man who personally intervened and turned the situation around. Good heavens Ming Clan truly lives up to its reputation as a major clan... The money they made in that one go was equivalent to what Zhou Tonghe would earn in a year!

And now... on one side is Gu Mingchao, the Holy Land Supreme... on the other is Empress Ji Ya!

Zhou Tonghe's first reaction was... This is going to be a lucky win!

The news that Vast Heaven Holy Land had become incredibly wealthy was known throughout the land... This helped the Holy Land Supreme Gu Mingchao and Empress Ji Ya escape danger and save them from misfortune; they must have made a fortune!

What the heck? You're asking me what to do if Zhou Tonghe's blessing is actually a good omen?

Are you kidding me? Do you think the Zhou Clan family is joking with you? If you're talking about predicting good or bad fortune, then apart from the Zhou Clan man, even I, Zhou Tonghe, don't know much about it. But if you're talking about controlling good or bad fortune, I, Zhou Tonghe, will put it out there: I can make good fortune shine on you or make bad fortune shine on you!

This is how Zhou Tonghe controlled me, first creating a terrible omen, then I said I had Art of Turning Misfortune into Fortune. Tell me, isn't the Vast Heaven Holy Land going to suffer a huge loss?

If even a tiny bit of this Vast Heaven Holy Land were to slip through their fingers, the Zhou Clan would be instantly propelled to new heights!
