Great Opportunity

A sprawling manor with a square plaque bearing the three large golden characters "Wan Jian Yuan" (Ten Thousand Sword Garden), and two Core Formation Cultivator guarding the entrance.

In a quiet courtyard, Mo Wuya, Green Lotus Sword Venerable, and Fairy Xuanbing sat in a Cyan Bamboo Pavilion, sipping tea and chatting.

"So, Wu Xiao's treasure came from the Ten Thousand Ghost Mound. No wonder so many Ghost Creature rushed out of the Ten Thousand Ghost Mound."

Mo Wuya frowned and said.

"Yes! If it hadn't been discovered in time, the Mysterious Yin Ghost Mother might have already cultivated to the Spirit Transmutation Realm in the Ten Thousand Ghost Mound Tomb. Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Huang and Daoist Wang were in the Western Desert Cultivation World and resolved this hidden danger in time, eliminating the Ghost Creature and sealing off the Ten Thousand Ghost Mound. They have already instructed the younger generation to kill Barbarian Race cultivators they encounter without mercy."

The Green Lotus Sword Venerable's tone was icy.

Driven by their own selfish desires, the Barbarian Race nearly brought the entire Human Race cultivation Western Desert Cultivation World to the brink of annihilation. Had it not been for Wu Xiao's presence, they would have directly wiped out the Barbarian Race.

"Fortunately, the Dry Earth Ruler isn't a heavy-duty, all-powerful Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure, so Wu Xiao's strength growth is limited; he can't turn the tide."

Fairy Xuanbing said with relief.

Mo Wuya nodded and said, "By the way, weren't Madam Du Daoist Ning with you?"

"Fellow Daoist Ning has already ascended to the Spirit Realm. I haven't seen Madam Du for many years."

"That's what the Green Lotus Sword Venerable said."

"Fellow Daoist Ning has ascended? So quickly? I thought he was still in the Lower Realm. No wonder we haven't heard from him for so many years."

Mo Wuya asked in surprise.

"He was lucky; he discovered an unknown Secret Realm and found many high-grade spirit medicine, which he refined into pills, saving him a lot of time in arduous cultivation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate to the Spirit Transmutation Mid-Stage so quickly."

"That's what the Green Lotus Sword Venerable said."

"Fellow Daoist Ye, how do you know so much? Did Fellow Daoist Ning tell you?"

Mo Wuya asked curiously.

"He came to me before his ascension and exchanged some refining materials with me. Decades later, his disciple came to report that Fellow Daoist Ning had successfully ascended to the Lingxu Realm."

By the end, the Green Lotus Sword Venerable's face was filled with envy.

"In that case, there are no fifth-tier Alchemist left in the Gan Yang Realm for the time being. I was originally planning to ask Fellow Daoist Ning for help with alchemy."

Mo Wuya sighed.

Without elixirs, he would need to Secluded Cultivation for many years to reach the Spirit Transmutation Mid-Stage.

Fairy Xuanbing nodded and said, "Me too. I finally managed to gather all the materials and wanted to ask Fellow Daoist Ning to refine them into a pill. Who would have thought he would ascend to the Lingxu Realm?"

"You didn't come here this time to deal with Wu Xiao, did you?"

Mo Wuya asked curiously.

"We don't have that kind of time. Besides, he now has Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure, while we don't. Our chances of winning are slim, and there's no need for it. Anyway, we've already eliminated the hidden danger. What I'm thinking about is ascending to the Lingxu Realm as soon as possible. By the way, didn't Fellow Daoist Fang come?"

"I ask curiously," asked the Green Lotus Sword Venerable.

"No, he's either cultivating or refining weapons, he rarely shows his face. The last time I saw him was three hundred years ago."

Mo Wuya said, then, as if remembering something, he turned to the Green Lotus Sword Venerable and said, "By the way, Fellow Daoist Ye, my little disciple died while traveling in the North Sea Cultivation World. Please inform your men to bring the murderer to justice."

The Azure Green Lotus Sword Venerable wields considerable influence in the North Sea Cultivation World; a single sentence from him is worth ten sentences from Mo Wuya.

"It's a trivial matter. How dare they kill Fellow Daoist Mo's disciple? The murderer has a death wish. Don't worry! We'll find the murderer soon."

The Green Lotus Sword Venerable readily agreed.

······

Three days passed quickly. A three-story Golden Pavilion stood there, with the three large silver characters "Heavenly Mystery Pavilion" written on its plaque.

Two Foundation Establishment Cultivator stood guard at the entrance, their expressions solemn.

Several Nascent Soul Cultivator stood at the entrance of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, and a handsome Blue-Shirted Youth Nascent Soul Cultivator explaining to them.

"I'm truly sorry, esteemed seniors, but my master is not receiving guests at the moment."

"That's what the Blue-Shirted Youth said politely."

Many Nascent Soul Cultivator wanted to ask Heavenly Mystery Rogue to perform divination, but Heavenly Mystery Rogue refused to see them.

"Young friend Ye, we have something very important to discuss with Fellow Daoist Xu. Please inform him."

True Monarch Xuanyang took out a Golden Storage Bag and handed it to the Blue-Shirted Youth.

"Senior Han, that's not what I meant. My master has repeatedly instructed me not to receive guests for the time being."

The Blue-Shirted Youth smiled wryly and politely declined the offer from True Monarch Xuanyang.

Ye Hai was a disciple of Heavenly Mystery Rogue.

Ye Hai's eyes lit up, and he strode forward.

True Monarch Xuanyang and the others turned their heads and saw Shen Long walking towards them.

"Senior Shen, my master has been waiting for a long time. Please come in."

Ye Hai said warmly, made a gesture of invitation, and personally led the way.

True Monarch Xuanyang and the others looked at each other, but no one spoke up to question them.

The news of Shen Long's defeat of True Monarch Li Huo has spread, and his extraordinary status makes it no wonder that Heavenly Mystery Rogue regards him highly.

The door to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion opened, and the voice of the Heavenly Mystery Rogue came out. "I only have Fellow Daoist Shen to see today. The other fellow Daoists, please leave!"

Shen Long strode inside, and the door closed behind him.

True Monarch Xuanyang and the others left one after another, their faces filled with envy.

Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, Heavenly Mystery Rogue sat in the main seat, with Shen Long sitting to his side.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, I would like to ask you to divine my fortuitous opportunity. How about this bottle of Golden Soul Pill as payment?"

Shen Long took out a Cyan Porcelain Bottle and handed it to Heavenly Mystery Rogue.

"I also have the Golden Soul Pill!"

Heavenly Mystery Rogue said meaningfully, and took out two Cyan Porcelain Bottle.

As the top diviner in the North Sea, he possesses many valuable items, including Golden Soul Pill.

Shen Long flipped his right hand, revealing a blue porcelain bottle and a Golden Porcelain Bottle. He said, "There are two drops of Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk inside, plus a bottle of Seven-Star Spirit Nourishing Pill. How about that?"

"Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk!"

Heavenly Mystery Rogue was somewhat tempted. After a moment's thought, he said, "I don't want these things. I can perform a divination for Fellow Daoist Shen once, in exchange for one request."

"What are the requirements?"

Shen Long pressed for an answer.

"If I need your help in the future, you must not refuse."

Heavenly Mystery Rogue said solemnly.

"How am I supposed to know what you want me to do? If you asked me to wipe out a Lineage, or kill the disciples and descendants of Spirit Transformation cultivator, or deal with the leader of a powerful force, would I be expected to do it?"

Shen Long frowned and said.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, you don't have to do it! Do you think I'd force you to? I just want a promise from you, that's all."

Heavenly Mystery Rogue said.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, could you please tell me what favors you need from me? Murder? Alchemy? Or finding cultivation resources?"

Shen Long pressed for an answer.

"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Shen to be so powerful. I just want a promise from you. Your promise is far more precious than Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk."

Heavenly Mystery Rogue said.

"You don't expect me to swear by my Inner Demon that I must help you, do you?"

Shen Long's face showed displeasure.

"No need for that. I trust Fellow Daoist Shen's character. If I ever ask Fellow Daoist Shen to do something beyond your capabilities, you are free to refuse."

Heavenly Mystery Rogue said.

Shen Long pondered for a moment, then agreed.

He suffered no loss; if Heavenly Mystery Rogue's demands were too harsh, he would simply refuse.

Heavenly Mystery Rogue nodded and asked, "Fellow Daoist Shen, tell me your birth date and time and your Life-Bound Dharma Treasure."

"You even have to tell me about your natal Life-Bound Dharma Treasure?"

Shen Long frowned and said.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, many cultivators are born every moment. With only their birth date and time, it's impossible to determine if the cultivator I'm divining is you. I only need to know the function of your Life-Bound Dharma Treasure to pinpoint your identity."

Heavenly Mystery Rogue explained.

After a moment's thought, Shen Long told him the truth: his physical body was strong, so it was not surprising that his Life-Bound Dharma Treasure was heavy-duty; it was not a secret.

Heavenly Mystery Rogue flipped his right hand, and a Golden Glowing Dharma Disk appeared in his hand—a Law Treasure.

He cast a spell, and the Golden Dharma Disk immediately lit up with a dazzling golden light, revealing countless profound runes.

Heavenly Mystery Rogue changed his incantation, and a large number of characters flew out, floating around Shen Long.

Shen Long recognized the characters, but he didn't understand their meaning.

Heavenly Mystery Rogue's ten fingers moved incessantly, occasionally casting in a spell, causing the spiritual light of some characters to dim and disappear.

Half an hour later, the characters floating around Shen Long condensed together and transformed into a mini golden dragon. The golden dragon circled Shen Long once and then flew straight towards Heavenly Mystery Rogue.

Heavenly Mystery Rogue flipped his right hand, and the Golden Dharma Disk was aimed at the miniature golden dragon. The miniature golden dragon disappeared into the Golden Dharma Disk, and some mysterious characters could be seen.

He glanced around and said with a smile, "Congratulations! Fellow Daoist Shen, you have a great fortuitous opportunity!"

"Where is it? And by what fortuitous opportunity?"

Shen Long pressed for an answer.

"In the Volcano region of Southern Border, as for what kind of fortuitous opportunity it might be, I have no idea. It could be a benefactor, a treasure, or a miraculous elixir."

Heavenly Mystery Rogue said.

Shen Long frowned. This information was too vague. There were many Volcano Cluster in the Gan Yang Realm, the most famous of which was Ten Thousand Fire Valley.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, is there no more information? You have provided far too little."

Shen Long said.

"No, that's all. I have no reason to lie to you. Go to the Southern Border Cultivation World and search for it slowly!"

Heavenly Mystery Rogue said.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, you have performed divination for many fellow Daoists. How many of them have encountered great fortuitous opportunity? Could you reveal what those great fortuitous opportunity are?"

Shen Long asked politely.

"Many cultivators have asked me to divine their fortuitous opportunity, but only three possess truly great fortuitous opportunity: the Nine-Year-Old Rogue Cultivator, Fairy Chu, and you. As for what those great fortuitous opportunity are, I don't know. Every cultivator's great fortuitous opportunity is different, and even for the same person, the great fortuitous opportunity are not the same."

Heavenly Mystery Rogue spoke slowly.

"Nine-Year-Old Rogue Cultivator!"

Shen Long was somewhat surprised.
