The Four Symbols Sect's divine ability
Let's rewind to a dozen or so years ago.
The Void Heaven Cultivator from several major Lineage of the Slanting Moon World gathered together.
After discussing their respective situations, they finally realized that something big was about to happen in the Slanting Moon World, and it was very likely to be World Conflict.
However, to check the Heaven Ladder Rankings, especially the Heaven Ladder Rankings above the Void Heaven Realm, one can only do so within the Ancient Realm Platform.
Only two major powers could accomplish this: the Great Wei Divine Dynasty and the Primordial Divine Sect.
Among the five great Lineage of the Slanting Moon World, the highest-ranking cultivator is only at the Great Perfection of the Void Heaven Great Accomplishment.
Such cultivation level would be considered a great master by ordinary Cultivator, but it is nothing to the Great Wei Divine Dynasty. Moreover, the Great Wei Divine Dynasty does not like to trade with Cultivator from the Outer Realm.
Therefore, Wang Zufeng and the others had no choice but to seek out the Ancient God Sect.
The first realm of the Exquisite World is called the Taiyuan Realm, which has existed since time immemorial and has never changed.
No one knows exactly when the Primordial Divine Sect came into existence.
It is only rumored that the Primordial Divine Sect is as ancient as the Exquisite World, and that when the Exquisite World existed, the Ancient God Sect was already the number one Sect.
Some say that the existence of the Primordial Divine Sect can be traced back to the era of the Great Wei Divine Dynasty.
Because the Great Wei Divine Dynasty almost never cooperates with the Sect, with the only exception being the Primordial Divine Sect.
None of the five families—Bai, Ji, Chen, Wang, and Tong—were willing to approach the Taishou Slanting Moon World.
Because the cost would be too high.
"I asked around, and it would cost 500,000 Dao Coin to summon the complete Heaven Ladder Rankings just for us," said Bai Zongyi, the patriarch of the Bai Clan.
"Five hundred thousand?" Chen Shiwei's lips twitched.
To put this into perspective, an ordinary Void Heaven Cultivator can condense two Dao Coin per day. Five hundred thousand sword coins would be equivalent to nearly seven hundred years of tireless condensation.
"That's too much. Even if we average it out, it's nearly 100,000 Ancient Coin per family. Where can we come up with so many ancient coins in such a short time?" The Tong Family's patriarch said with a bitter expression. 100,000 Ancient Coin was a lot of money, enough to buy Top-Grade Profound Tier Dao Soul.
They've all been in the Ancient Realm for years, but apart from the major sects, who else would have so many Ancient Coin?
In the Ancient Realm, money is needed everywhere, and any surplus Ancient Coin are usually converted into strength rather than kept.
"You have to pay, whether you can or not. Everyone, you all know perfectly well the consequences if this matter isn't resolved."
"This will take time."
All the Lineage were complaining bitterly.
Bai Zongyi said, "I heard that the last person to win the Heavenly Ladder was named Gu Yuanqing?"
"That's the name."
"Since we can't gather that many Ancient Coin in a short time, we'll have to settle for second best. I know a friend who is skilled in divination and possesses Secret Treasure. Perhaps he can use the underworld to bypass the Underworld Heaven-Connecting Stele and observe this person's situation, to see if he can glean anything. However, even though we have a decent relationship, we can't let him go to such lengths for nothing. The reward will have to be shared among us..."
"Brother Bai has such friends?" Wang Zufeng's gaze narrowed slightly. He had always heard that the Bai Clan had an extraordinary background, and now it seemed that this was indeed the case. They were able to connect with the Primordial Divine Sect and have such interactions.
Bai Zongyi said calmly, "When you're traveling, you rely on your friends."
"What do you all think? Either hurry up and collect the Ancient Coin, or try the method I just described."
How confident are you, Brother Bai?
Bai Zongyi frowned and said, "Who can guarantee that one can break through the Heaven-Connecting Stele's calculations? If you all don't believe me, that's fine too."
The group exchanged glances for a few moments, but ultimately decided to agree.
Faced with the warning from Heavenly Dao, they could not afford to be careless; they had to seize every possible opportunity.
Several days later, the Void Heaven Cultivator from the five major Lineage, carrying their Lineage resources and concealing their auras, crossed realms and left.
This is a major event for the Slanting Moon World. For the five major Lineage to unite in their actions, something must have happened, or something is about to happen.
Currently, only the core members of the five major Lineage know a little about this matter, and when they heard about it, each of them looked solemn.
After Bai Zongyi, Wang Zufeng, and the others arrived in another realm, they suddenly felt a little more relaxed and at ease.
But this only made them feel uneasy, which meant that the Heavenly Dao's fortune was indeed warning them!
Unless they are willing to abandon the Slanting Moon World, they must overcome this trial.
Led by Bai Zongyi, the group crossed several realms before finally stopping.
"Brother Bai, the friend you mentioned wouldn't happen to be from the Four Symbols Sect, would it?"
Wang Zufeng couldn't help but ask.
"Just friends I met in the Ancient Realm," Bai Zongyi said calmly.
In everyone's eyes, the Bai Clan seemed increasingly mysterious. Previously, it was just speculation, but now it was somewhat confirmed that their ancestors had been Celestial Person. Putting aside other matters, crossing between realms was not something that could be done at will; an identity Token was required. This kind of thing should not be something that the lowest- Exquisite World Ranking should possess.
Half a day later, the group stopped in the Mountain.
Bai Zongyi handed over a Storage Bag: "Brother Qi, thank you for your trouble."
A man in White-Clad smiled faintly, "I have done my best, but after all, this is a trans-realm endeavor. I have neither Birth Root Eight Characters nor a bloodline connection, and I am also shrouded by the Heaven-Connecting Stele. I have never tried anything like this before, so please don't have too high hopes."
At the Void Heaven Peak, just one step away from becoming Celestial Person, everyone knew that the person before them was a master after only a brief interaction.
Bai Zongyi laughed and said, "Brother Qi, you are too modest. Your Four Symbols True Scripture has been cultivated to the level of divine insight, almost reaching the realm of Karma Divine Ability. Since we received the warning from the Heavenly Dao Fortune Warning of the Slanting Moon World, we are bound to be connected with its fortune. I believe that with your strength, you can definitely see something from it."
Qi Mingkun said calmly, "We'll only know if we try!"
Then, he took out a tortoise shell the size of a palm, chanted True Word, and made Sword-Finger gesture in the Void on the tortoise shell.
A moment later, silver light shimmered on the tortoise shell. He touched the tortoise shell to his forehead, and the silver light flowed onto his forehead like water.
The entire tortoise shell disappeared, but a vertical eye gleaming with silver light appeared on Qi Mingkun's forehead.
"I'd like to borrow your Essence Blood!"
The five men exchanged a glance, then each flicked their fingers, sending a drop of blood flying toward Qi Mingkun.
Qi Mingkun raised his hand and grabbed five drops of Essence Blood, which then transformed into a Void and Array Formation.
The Essence Blood then ignited, turning into raging Flame. Qi Mingkun's silver vertical eye between his brows opened, as if he immediately saw something within the Flame.
At first, he looked surprised, but in an instant, he screamed and blood tears streamed from all three eyes.
"Brother Qi, what's wrong? What happened?" Bai Zongyi asked anxiously.
"The Incense Merit Body, such a strong Incense and Fire Qi, this person actually walks the Incense God Path!" Qi Mingkun wiped away the blood and tears from the corner of his eyes, his expression was ugly. What he hated most was those who cultivated this kind of Cultivation Method. The Incense and Fire Qi was formed by the Human Heart, which was the most effective counter to his Divine Ability.
Qi Mingkun was about to say something when his face suddenly turned ashen, his vertical eye between his brows flashed a bright silver light, and then he groaned and fell backward.
