Fortune and Misfortune Are Decided, and Heaven's Mandate Forbids It!
Upon hearing the news from the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird, Chu Xinghe was True Qi furious!
If you say that Empress Ji Ya looks down on our Holy Lord Gu Mingchao, then the entire Vast Heaven Holy Land remains completely silent...
If the Four Great Clans were to step forward and declare that their Empress would never marry far away, I, Chu Xinghe, could understand...
But what the hell is this Zhou Clan family?
Who would have thought that everything had gone smoothly until now, and it's all stuck on Najib? Isn't this just a formality?
Chu Xinghe meant that, Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird... if it really doesn't work out, let's skip this formality and just have Zhou Tonghe say "Great Fortune" directly.
Do we really have to throw away those Fortune and Misfortune Divination Tablet?
Regardless of whether this is affected by the Misfortune Compass, can't we just go through the motions?
It turns out... it doesn't work...
The arrival of the four clan leaders, along with the Vermilion Bird, at the Zhou Clan, and the impending marriage of Holy Lord Gu Mingchao and Empress Ji Ya, are absolutely sensational news...
As a result, countless people from all over the Spirit Beast Continent are now rushing to the Zhou Clan's side. Everyone wants to join in the fun, which is understandable...
But when they saw with their own eyes that Zhou Tonghe's Fortune and Misfortune Divination Tablet were all extremely ominous, whether the four clan leaders Vermilion Bird cared or not was unknown, but the problem was that everyone in the Spirit Beast Continent and even the Three Continents who heard the news were talking about it...
So we absolutely must get a great result today, otherwise, people will have something to say about us!
After all, this is the union of Holy Lord Gu Mingchao and Empress Ji Ya as Daoist partners; who wouldn't want a perfect and fulfilling marriage?
In this situation, both the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird and the four clan leaders were bewildered. It was precisely for this reason that the Vermilion Bird contacted Xinghe immediately, wanting him to use the Xinghe Star Divination Art to deduce what exactly was going on.
Regarding the problem of the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird, Chu Xinghe provided a solution in the shortest possible time—spend money!
Believe it or not, as long as you allocate the resources properly, you'll not only have great fortune, you could even break Fortune and Misfortune Divination Tablet today!
The Vermilion Bird found Xinghe's solution very reasonable, so the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird immediately pulled Zhou Tonghe aside and had Xinghe personally communicate with Zhou Tonghe through a communication token.
"Zhou Tonghe pays his respects to Lord Xinghe..." Although Zhou Tonghe was the head of the Zhou Clan, he was even more respectful to Chu Xinghe than he was to Vermilion Bird and the four clan heads when he learned that the person opposite him was Chu Xinghe.
There's no way around it; everyone in the Three Continents knows how terrifying Chu Xinghe, the master strategist, is!
Facing Zhou Tonghe, Chu Xinghe didn't waste any words and went straight to the point. "Zhou Clan Head, I've long heard of your Zhou Clan's Fortune and Misfortune Divination Tablet Xinghe and bad fortune. Xinghe, I greatly admire your Zhou Clan's ability to turn misfortune into good fortune. Therefore, I believe Xinghe Zhou Clan Head certainly has a way to do so..."
"At the same time, to express our gratitude to Zhou Clan Head, our Vast Heaven Holy Land will send another hundred warehouses of resources as a token of our appreciation. However, I believe that Zhou Clan Head will definitely be able to achieve his goal in one go this time. Zhou Clan Head, don't you agree?"
"Yes, yes... yes, yes..." Zhou Tonghe was so excited that tears were welling up in his eyes...
Zhou Tonghe now knows how much resources are in the Vast Heaven Holy Land's first warehouse.
Good heavens! With all that from before, plus the Hundred Treasures given by Chu Xinghe, the Zhou Clan is taking off like a rocket!
As for Chu Xinghe's talk of great fortune, Zhou Tonghe replied... "Our Zhou Clan absolutely has that capability!"
As the saying goes, "Man can conquer nature"... Although we don't know what fate is up to this time, and it's just throwing trouble at us, do you think our Zhou Clan is helpless?
Summon the entire Zhou Clan to me and continue... Jump, shout, and roar to the heavens!
Good heavens, the Zhou Clan really went all out this time. Vermilion Bird personally witnessed more than a dozen members of the Zhou Clan jumping around until they were foaming at the mouth... and they had to be carried away.
We don't know if these people can be saved.
But that wasn't the key point at all. Just as more and more members of the Zhou Clan were foaming at the mouth, Zhou Tonghe reappeared with Fortune and Misfortune Divination Tablet.
This time, Zhou Tonghe stated that there was absolutely no possibility of any unexpected events!
Whether or not fate would allow him to throw out a lucky charm Zhou Tonghe didn't know, but Zhou Tonghe declared that he had absolutely Half a Move Ahead of Heaven this time. He said, "Man can conquer Zhou Tonghe, and man can conquer nature!"
What the heck? What if I throw out a red, ominous sign?
I'm not bragging Zhou Tonghe, but if I manage to throw out another ominous sign this time, I 'Zhou Tonghe give you my life!
Because Lao Tzu directly changed the Fortune and Misfortune Divination Tablet, now both sides are extremely auspicious!
Tell me how to throw out the red ominous sign this time!
No matter how I throw this, it's a guaranteed win!
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Zhou Tonghe threw out the Fortune and Misfortune Divination Tablet again. This time, Zhou Tonghe wasn't nervous at all; after all, both sides were extremely auspicious, so what was there to be nervous about...?
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the Fortune and Misfortune Divination Tablet spun in the air. Amidst the swirling of countless streams of light, a beam of heavenly light fell upon the Fortune and Misfortune Divination Tablet once more, and the next second, the Fortune and Misfortune Divination Tablet descended from the sky.
Before everyone's eyes, the Fortune and Misfortune Divination Tablet... but this time, unlike before, it didn't reveal any great fortune or misfortune. Instead... after landing, it bounced twice on the spot with a clatter, and then began to spin in place...
As the Fortune and Misfortune Divination Tablet spun, they came to rest between two stone slabs, right before everyone's eyes...
He just stood there, rooted to the spot...
Silence... At this moment, the entire Zhou Clan was completely silent...
At that moment, everyone stared wide-eyed at what was happening before them...
Vermilion Bird was completely dumbfounded... This is really bad, I might as well just set the Zhou Clan on fire... Are you guys playing games with me?
Didn't you, Zhou Tonghe, just say that both sides were auspicious omens?
Both sides are auspicious signs, can you at least throw out a standing Fortune and Misfortune Divination Tablet?
Not only are your acting skills amazing, but your technique is unparalleled...
Let alone Vermilion Bird, Zhou Tonghe was completely dumbfounded at this moment...
Forget about the bizarre sight of the Fortune and Misfortune Divination Tablet being erected; in the history of the Zhou Clan family, there has never been a case where so many divination cards, under the control of the Zhou Clan family, failed to bring good fortune.
Now that both sides are auspicious, how could the Fortune and Misfortune Divination Tablet cards get stuck there so Ghost Envoy?
At this moment, Zhou Tonghe wondered if the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird and the four clan masters would devour him on the spot!
Zhou Tonghe could see that the eyes of the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird and the four clan leaders were already blazing with anger!
The eyes of the four clan leaders were now even redder than the feathers on the Vermilion Bird's body!
Just as Zhou Tonghe said that it was a problem with the floor and that they could still escape danger, an old voice came from the backyard of the Zhou Clan family.
"This is the will of Heaven; it is an ominous sign that cannot be changed. We cannot go against Heaven's will!"
Accompanied by this voice, an elderly man with white hair and beard slowly walked out from the backyard of the Zhou Clan family.
Upon seeing the old man, all the members of the Zhou Clan knelt down and paid their respects.
Even the four clan leaders clasped their hands in a respectful bow to the old man who had come out.
Zhou Wencang, the fortune teller of the Spirit Beast Continent!
The oldest member of the Zhou Clan family today!
In the Spirit Beast Continent, Zhou Wencang's cultivation level is nothing special, but in terms of seniority, even the heads of the Four Great Clans would have to address him as "senior."
This guy is practically the Spirit Beast Continent version of Old Master Wuyang.
The seniority system is there for everyone.
More importantly, Zhou Wencang is different from Old Master Wuyang. Old Master Wuyang himself has no fighting ability; he is mainly senior in rank.
But this old man Zhou Wencang can be said to be the only fortune teller in the Zhou Clan family, and even in the Three Continents!
A true diviner!
Don't be fooled by the Zhou Clan's reputation as a divination clan. They only fool ordinary people. In the eyes of the Four Great Clans, everyone knows that the Zhou Clan's lineage has long since died out...
Aside from the Fortune and Misfortune Divination Tablets passed down from ancient times, which belong to the Zhou Clan family, what other abilities does Zhou Tonghe possess...? What does he know about divination?
He's just a charlatan who prescribes medicine based on who he's dealing with. Even if he did learn some divination techniques, it's only a superficial understanding.
But isn't Najib's behavior mostly just a way to seek psychological comfort?
When you consult someone to determine if your birth dates and times are compatible, there are essentially two scenarios. The first is that they directly charge you and tell you they are extremely compatible... and that you're destined for a long and happy marriage...
This kind of thing is just about getting a lucky money gift; everyone's happy, and that's about it. That's the case most of the time.
The second type is nothing more than dealing with some conflicting aspects, then they'll give you some kind of "good luck-turning magic," you pay some money, and in the end, you still get great fortune...
Regardless of the process, the final result is usually a happy one for everyone.
That's why it's said that Najib's involvement was basically just a formality.
However, the Zhou Clan was powerful for a long time in the past, and Zhou Clan divination skills were legitimately passed down.
Therefore, the Zhou Clan family's Fortune and Misfortune Divination Art are indeed genuine, and the last true inheritor of these Fortune and Misfortune Divination Art should be the venerable Master Zhou Wencang before us.
Grandpa Zhou Wencang's Fortune and Misfortune Divination Art can indeed predict whether two people are compatible based on their birth dates and times. Moreover, he can even predict the Fortune and Misfortune Divination Art their union.
So, in the Spirit Beast Continent, if Old Master Zhou Wencang says you two don't get along, then rest assured, you two will never make it to the end no matter what.
At this moment, with the appearance of Grandpa Zhou Wencang, everyone present, including Vermilion Bird, frowned.
Because everyone understands that if Old Master Zhou Wencang insists that Holy Lord Gu and Ji Ya are incompatible according to their birth dates, then the marriage will really be difficult to continue...
Sure enough, as soon as Old Master Zhou appeared, everyone in the Zhou Clan family, including Zhou Tonghe, fell silent and all looked at Old Master Zhou as he walked in.
"Tong He, Heaven's will has forsaken you. What virtue or ability do you possess to defy fate? By acting so rebelliously, are you trying to risk the entire Zhou Clan's life to fight against Heaven?"
Zhou Tonghe was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground, not daring to utter a single word.
"Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird, esteemed clan leaders, the divination for today has determined the outcome. Please return home. Heaven's will is against us; how could my Zhou Clan possibly defy fate?"
"Destiny is destiny, no one can change it, no one can alter it... Gentlemen, please... take those resources with you, my Zhou Clan is not worthy of them..."
