Spirit Diviner Came Calling, Setting Out for the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion

The old man and the young man were Ancient Sage Xuanji and Spirit Diviner of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

"Sect Master!"

Chu Luo withdrew his gaze and saluted Lin Feng, who sat in the seat of honor.

"Chu Luo, I summoned you today because our young friend Spirit Diviner of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion wishes to enlist your help as an outside ally, to help him become one of the Heavenly Secret Children!"

"What do you think?"

Lin Feng smiled faintly and winked at Chu Luo.

Not only Sect Master Lin Feng, but Great Emperor Yin Ya and the elders present also winked at Chu Luo.

They seemed to be frantically signaling for him not to refuse.

Chu Luo froze, then instinctively looked at Spirit Diviner.

The Heavenly Secret Children of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion were equivalent to the Sequence Disciples of their Forbidden Sect.

Anyone who became a Heavenly Secret Child would be a future elder or pavilion master...

But Chu Luo wondered why Spirit Diviner had chosen him as an outside ally.

He had never even had any dealings with Spirit Diviner!

Spirit Diviner seemed to see his confusion.

He stepped forward and cupped his hands toward Chu Luo.

"Brother Chu, I am Spirit Diviner!"

"Within the Great Emperor Secret Realm, I witnessed your awe-inspiring prowess as you swept aside every opponent. You have my deepest admiration!"

"So I hoped to find an opportunity to make your acquaintance!"

"As it happens, our Heavenly Secrets Pavilion will soon begin its Heavenly Secret Child Selection. My strength is lacking, but I still wish to contend for a place, so I need an outside ally to assist me."

"You were the first person who came to mind, Brother Chu. That is why I came calling today, hoping to make your acquaintance!"

"And to ask you to become my Battle Guardian!"

After hearing Spirit Diviner's explanation, Chu Luo finally understood.

This fellow wanted me to be his bodyguard and hired muscle!

He stared blankly at Spirit Diviner and asked:

"That's it?"

Spirit Diviner also froze. Not understanding what Chu Luo meant, he replied blankly, "That... that's it..."

Chu Luo rolled his eyes at Spirit Diviner.

First, he did not know Spirit Diviner.

Second, there was no friendship between them.

Third, there was nothing in it for him.

Whoever wanted that job could take it. He, Chu Luo, certainly would not lift a finger...

Lin Feng and the elders present were all old foxes.

They saw through Chu Luo's thoughts at a glance.

Every one of them shook his head.

This brat was just like that old scoundrel of a master of his-he refused to take even the slightest loss...

Ignoring Spirit Diviner's puzzled gaze, Chu Luo turned straight toward Lin Feng.

Just as he was about to refuse.

His master's secret voice transmission reached his ears:

"My dear disciple, hurry up and agree!"

"If you help this brat become one of the Heavenly Secret Children, you'll have a chance to enter the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion's Heavenly Spirit Pool!"

"The Heavenly Spirit Pool is a wonderful thing!"

"My dear disciple, that old fellow Xuanji brought news this morning. In two years, the top factions of the Three Thousand Great Worlds will jointly hold a Heavenly Prodigy Ranking Battle to redraw the Heavenly Prodigy Ranking. In five years, the Ancient Wilderness Divine Ruins will open!"

"Our sect master intends to postpone the Sequence Disciple selection until after the Heavenly Prodigy Ranking Battle!"

"Entering the Heavenly Spirit Pool will be an excellent opportunity to improve your strength!"

"Only a bastard passes up a bargain! Hurry up and agree. With your master protecting you, there's nothing to fear!"

Chu Luo froze upon hearing this.

He had not expected the sect's Sequence Disciple selection to be postponed!

But since even his master said the Heavenly Spirit Pool was something good.

It had to be extraordinary!

Keeping his hands cupped, Chu Luo immediately turned toward Spirit Diviner.

His attitude did a complete about-face. Baring eight gleaming white teeth in a smile, he said warmly:

"Ahahaha..."

"So it's Brother Spirit Diviner!"

"A pleasure, a pleasure!"

"I've long heard of your great name!"

"Now that we've met, you truly are a man apart!"

"Brother Spirit Diviner, we feel like old friends at first sight. Your business is my business!"

"I agree! Rest assured, I'll do everything I can to help you become one of the Heavenly Secret Children!"

"Anyone who dares stand in your way will die!"

Chu Luo was so enthusiastic that Spirit Diviner might have been his long-lost brother.

Spirit Diviner was also briefly stunned by this sudden warmth.

Then he smiled happily and cupped his hands. "Thank you, Brother Chu!"

"From this day onward, you are my good brother!"

"If you ever need anything, Brother Chu, I will spare no effort to help!"

Everyone present watched Chu Luo's complete reversal, the corners of their mouths twitching wildly...

Ancient Sage Xuanji's face, in particular, twitched slightly...

This brat and that old ghost Yin Ya truly were master and disciple...

"Hahaha..."

"Of course, of course. Brother Spirit Diviner, when do we leave?"

Chu Luo asked.

"If you have nothing else to attend to, Brother Chu, we can leave right now!"

"There are still two days until the Heavenly Secret Child Selection."

Spirit Diviner replied.

Chu Luo nodded. Just as he was about to set out for the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion with Spirit Diviner and Ancient Sage Xuanji.

Great Emperor Yin Ya took out a blood-red jade token and two bottles of pills, tossed them to Chu Luo, and said:

"My dear disciple, your master is a Great Emperor now. It would be somewhat inconvenient for me to accompany you to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion."

"Keep this token with you. If some old fellow tries to bully you, my avatar will appear!"

"As for these two bottles, they contain Saint Longevity Pills that Great Emperor Yaoming refined for you!"

Chu Luo's eyes lit up, and he put away the jade token and pills.

He received the same number of apprentice-protection points from his master's true body and avatar anyway.

Now he could hardly wait for some blind old fool in the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion to bully him...

"I'll remember, Master!"

Chu Luo cupped his hands toward Great Emperor Yin Ya.

Beside him, Spirit Diviner was filled with envy upon hearing the words "Saint Longevity Pills."

Brother Chu's Great Emperor master treated him so well.

He handed out saint-grade pills just like that...

I wanted a master like that too...

Unfortunately, his own master was still a hundred and eight thousand miles away from breaking through to Great Emperor...

Then Chu Luo followed Ancient Sage Xuanji and Spirit Diviner out of the Forbidden Sect...

A day later.

Ancient Sage Xuanji brought Chu Luo to the territory of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

The moment they emerged from the spatial rift.

Dozens of enormous floating islands came into Chu Luo's view.

Clouds and mist curled around the floating islands, where mountain ranges stretched on and magnificent palaces and towers stood against the slopes, like an immortal paradise...

This was the home of one of the top factions of the Three Thousand Great Worlds.

The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion!

Beneath these floating islands.

An immense city stretched beyond the limits of sight, crouching upon the boundless earth like a colossal beast.

This city was called Heavenly Secret City, and it was directly administered by the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

The families and relatives of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion's disciples lived in Heavenly Secret City...

In addition, some subordinate factions of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion were stationed here.

By now, Heavenly Secret City had become one of the renowned cities of the Three Thousand Great Worlds.

Martial artists from all across the Three Thousand Great Worlds arrived in an endless stream...

"Disciple, take our young friend Chu to find lodgings in Heavenly Secret City first."

"Remember to return to the sect on time tomorrow for the selection!"

"I'll return to the pavilion first!"

Ancient Sage Xuanji instructed him.

"Yes, Master. I'll remember!"

Then Ancient Sage Xuanji took a step forward and flew toward one of the floating islands.

"Brother Chu, let's head into the city and rest first!"

"I can also show you around our Heavenly Secret City!"

Spirit Diviner said with a smile.

Chu Luo nodded as well.

He had heard of Heavenly Secret City, but had never visited.

Today was the perfect chance to explore this famous city...

So Chu Luo followed Spirit Diviner into the city...

As soon as they entered, Chu Luo was drawn to the city's bustling prosperity.

Martial artists from all over streamed through the city, and vendors lined both sides of the streets.

Spiritual herbs, pills, cultivation methods, martial techniques, rare curiosities, and more formed a dazzling array...

Just as Chu Luo and Spirit Diviner were strolling around.

A commotion suddenly swept through the city.

Countless people looked up and saw a Devil Beast flying across the sky!

"Gasp... it's a Heavenly Kirin Horse!"

"Heavens, it really is a Heavenly Kirin Horse! Who is that woman on its back? She actually uses such a precious Devil Beast as her mount!"

"Legend has it that Heavenly Kirin Horses possess a trace of the Dragon Clan's bloodline. That woman must have quite a background!"

"..."

Chu Luo was also surprised as he watched the Heavenly Kirin Horse about to descend into the city.

That thing really did look imposing.

I should find a chance to ask whether Master could get me one!

He had heard that Heavenly Kirin Horses possessed the Dragon Clan's bloodline.

As such, they could travel through the void, just like the Dragon Clan...

"Watch out! Get out of the way!"

Just then, a cry of alarm rang out from the crowd.

Everyone realized that the Heavenly Kirin Horse was plunging downward without slowing.

The onlookers scattered and fled!

But in the next instant.

A little girl of five or six stood staring blankly at the descending Heavenly Kirin Horse.

"Kid, get out of the way!"

The nearby martial artists wanted to rush forward and pull the little girl away.

But it was already too late!

The golden hoof was already coming down over the little girl's head!

Countless martial artists instinctively closed their eyes.

They could not bear to watch what would happen next!

"Forbidden Secret Arts, Great Spatial Displacement Hand!"

P.S. Dear readers, it's really too late today. Tomorrow, I'll release a burst of four chapters! Little Fish has to get up early tomorrow. Some readers have been asking whether there's a female lead. Little Fish just wants to say: even Little Fish doesn't have anyone, so does Chu Luo deserve one? Stay single for me, hahaha...

Dear readers, remember to leave a five-star review...
