After Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat returned to their residence, the Shameless Cat still wondered what secrets the Wang Household knew.
"Kid, do you think the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness did more than just fart at the Sea Dragon Pool?"
Yang Zhen lay down on the bed, pursed her lips, and said, "How would I know? Maybe I even took a dump?"
The Shameless Cat looked at Yang Zhen with disdain, then couldn't help but say, "Now that I think about it, I also think that woman is not simple, and there's also her master behind her. Don't underestimate these people; maybe the person behind them has actually figured something out."
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "They must have figured something out, but we don't know yet. We can only wait and see."
"I have a feeling you've jumped into a huge pit this time?" The Shameless Cat looked at Yang Zhen with a sneer.
"Pah!" Yang Zhen roared, glaring at the Shameless Cat, "It's always me, the Sage of Saunter, who tricks others. Have you ever seen me, the Sage of Saunter, being tricked?"
"It seems not, but what secret did they find out?"
"How should I know? Go to sleep, you'll find out tomorrow."
The person and the cat soon began snoring loudly, fast asleep.
At the Wang Household's villa, Wang Meiling stood quietly outside the door and said respectfully, "Master, he agreed, but..."
"They made a lot of demands of you?"
An aged voice, tinged with bitterness and a mixture of amusement and exasperation, came from inside the room. "Come in!"
Wang Meiling was taken aback. She pushed open the door and entered. Upon seeing the old woman in the room, her expression changed drastically. She hurriedly stepped forward to support the old woman's arm and exclaimed in horror, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
The master turned out to be an old woman on her deathbed, her figure hunched over, thin as a rake, with only a pair of deep-set eyes that were mesmerizing. Even more profound and unfathomable were the old woman's eyes, which seemed to be filled with stars. What was even more eerie was that if you looked closely, there really were countless stars in the old woman's eyes, stretching as far as the eye could see.
The old woman shook her head, her voice tinged with weariness, and waved her hand, saying, "It's alright. I'm old, and I get tired after just a few steps. Don't worry, I won't die."
Wang Meiling nodded. Although she knew the old woman wouldn't die, given her cultivation level, she still looked worried upon seeing the old woman's current state. She asked anxiously, "Master, your health has been deteriorating lately. What's wrong?"
Master Su smiled, her wrinkled face looking somewhat ferocious, her expression revealing arrogance, and said, "For the past few days, I have been calculating Yang Zhen's past and future, but I have come up with nothing. Today, I have finally made some progress."
Wang Meiling looked startled and asked in surprise, "What did Master Su foresee?"
After a moment of silence, the master slowly said, "I haven't figured anything out!"
Wang Meiling was stunned, and said somewhat dejectedly, "I couldn't calculate anything. Master, what's wrong with your body? I've had this before, but I've never seen you so weak. Is Yang Zhen's fate really that hard to calculate?"
Master Su chuckled and shook his head, saying, "No, it's not that it's difficult to calculate, but rather that it's impossible to calculate at all. In all these years, I have never seen such a chaotic fate. His life is almost destined to be anything but peaceful, even more complicated and fraught with hardship than Chaotic Heavenly Fate."
"What?" Wang Meiling exclaimed in surprise, "What kind of destiny is even more complicated and chaotic than the Chaotic Heavenly Fate?"
The seven principles of destiny can be traced back to the heavens and earth. This is a phrase that Master Su often says. Even Chaotic Heavenly Fate that is rare to see once in ten thousand years should not have surprised Master Su so much.
Yang Zhen's fate is even more complex than the Chaotic Heavenly Fate, and coupled with Yang Zhen great fortune, what kind of person is he...?
Wang Meiling looked at the old woman with suspicion, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "If that's the case, then Master Su insisted that Ling'er must bring Yang Zhen with her to the Sea Dragon Pool?"
Upon hearing this, the old woman said solemnly, "The aura left behind by the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness is still there, but for so many years, the star has remained unchanged. It wasn't until Yang Zhen's star of destiny arrived at Ten Thousand Flowers Island that it suddenly emitted a dazzling light. This shows that Yang Zhen is definitely a variable in the star of the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness..."
Upon hearing her master's words, Wang Meiling frowned deeply. For some reason, she suddenly recalled the conversation between Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat.
Although Yang Zhen could never have been killed by the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness's fart in his previous life, why would that Shameless Cat say that?
Although Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat are often unreliable, the information they unintentionally reveal is enough to shock Wang Meiling.
Could Yang Zhen really be related to the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness?
The old master seemed to have seen through Wang Meiling's thoughts and said with a smile, "There will definitely be a variable, but how it will change, and to what extent, I simply cannot see."
The old woman took a deep breath and slowly said, "So many years have passed, and the rumors from back then have almost completely disproven. But the Wang Household family is different; you may be the only ones who know the secrets behind it all."
"Master, what exactly is going on?" Wang Meiling asked with great interest.
Master Su smiled and said, "Legend has it that during the ancient times, the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness once appeared at the Sea Dragon Pool and inadvertently stumbled upon a conspiracy by the Sea Dragon Clan against Ten Thousand Flowers Island. He easily resolved the situation, and the one who became connected with the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness was your Wang Household's ancestor..."
Wang Meiling was shocked, and said with a sudden realization, "So, the secret technique that our Wang Household has been passing down was actually bestowed upon us by Wang Household Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness?"
Master Su nodded and said, "So many years have passed, and the Wang Household has declined, no longer possessing its former glory. However, the Heavenly Wilderness Technique, Companion Heavenly Fire, is now impossible to find. This time, if you want to find the Heavenly Fire, I'm afraid you'll have to rely on Yang Zhen."
"But... until now, no one in the world knows that Heavenly Fire exists, and Yang Zhen has no idea about it either. Why should we rely on someone who knows nothing about it?"
"Because Yang Zhen might have something intricately connected to the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness!" Master Su said with a smile.
"What?" Wang Meiling shocked.
What exactly is this thing that has such a close connection with the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness?
Master Su did not tell Wang Meiling this. Wang Meiling did not know whether it was because of the secret of the Heavenly Dao Dao's evolution or because Master Su simply did not know. In any case, this time, Wang Meiling truly began to value Yang Zhen.
No one on the entire Ten Thousand Flowers Island knew that Wang Meiling's trip to Sea Dragon Pool was not actually for the so-called Great Emperor Stele, but for a wisp of Heavenly Fire left by the Eastern Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness to suppress the Sea Dragon Pool Sea Dragon Clan.
In fact, even the entire Wang Household now knows that the Heavenly Wilderness Technique can only unleash its full power when Companion Heavenly Fire. Wang Meiling learned this by chance from a Lineage secret and then told her master.
Because her master was none other than Wang Meiling's own aunt!
After leaving her master's house, Wang Meiling looked up at the sky, gave a bitter laugh, and murmured to herself, "Little one, I didn't mean to use you. It's just that my master said that following you would grant me the Heavenly Fire. I had no choice. At worst... I'll make it up to you later!"
"Ah Qiu!"
Yang Zhen had a dream. In the dream, waves of blood surged to the sky, violent shockwaves billowed out, and pairs of scarlet eyes stared at him... with endless treasures in his hands.
While those ferocious creatures coveted Yang Zhen's Law Treasure, Yang Zhen was pondering why he, alone, could possess endless wealth—it just didn't seem very scientific.
The next moment, Yang Zhen woke up!
"Damn it, something's fishy about this. The real treasure of Sea Dragon Pool is definitely not that Great Emperor Stele, nor is it any Emperor Mark."
