The Luck power in the world is finite; it is related to a country's strength, the common people's well-being, economic prosperity, a powerful national army, and the emergence of talented individuals. The more of these, the richer the Luck power that is nurtured.
In short, it is directly proportional to a country's comprehensive strength.
And for places like their Tianshi Mansion, and Tianlong Temple to the west of the capital, although they do not interfere in worldly affairs, the reason they are willing to help the Great Wu Dynasty guard the world is because they can enjoy a portion of the Luck power.
Because Luck power is so important, even First Grade powerhouses of the current era must participate in worldly struggles for it.
Xuan Zhenzi was extremely puzzled as to where Xia Chen had obtained it.
"Even if his fate has changed, it should still be possible to deduce some things."
Old Celestial Master said slowly.
"This Xia Chen has a great secret. Either he has an item on him that shields the Heavenly Dao, but I feel he is more like a variable, the 'One' that escaped!"
A dazzling light burst forth from Old Celestial Master's eyes. He stood on the Zhaixing Building, looking towards the inner city of the capital, as if wanting to find Xia Chen's location across the Void Realm.
"The 'One' that escaped?"
"Heavenly Dao is fifty, the Great Expansion is forty-nine, and humanity escapes with one. Everything in the world has a fixed number, but precisely because of the 'One' that escaped, fate has the possibility of being changed!"
Old Celestial Master said slowly, his voice like the sound of the Dao, and Xuan Zhenzi listened carefully to his teachings.
"You said before that in a trance, you saw a nine-clawed Luck Golden Dragon stretching across the boundless sky, and a purple Qi soaring into the heavens?"
Old Celestial Master turned around and looked at Xuan Zhenzi, who was kneeling before him.
"Yes, but when I looked closely, it was as if I had imagined it!"
"You are proficient in physiognomy, and in this Dao, you have reached the peak. At that time, you were drinking wine and your mind was incredibly clear, merging with the Great Dao, which is why you might have seen that hidden corner!"
Xuan Zhenzi was greatly alarmed when he heard Old Celestial Master's words!
"But such a sight is an omen of an Emperor. When I see Your Majesty, I can only see half a zhang of purple Qi and three zhang of Luck power on him."
Xuan Zhenzi couldn't help but say. He had read Daoist texts, which stated that a Luck True Dragon, or a form condensed from the combination of Luck power and national destiny power, could only appear if an Emperor had ten zhang of Luck power condensed behind him.
Old Celestial Master remained silent after hearing Xuan Zhenzi's words, because he also couldn't explain it!
Xuan Zhenzi continued.
"You once said that Yaoguang's fate is extremely special. When she was born, she was naturally accompanied by ten zhang of purple Qi, and two-tenths of our Great Wu's national destiny spontaneously merged into her body.
In the future, she might surpass all Emperors of ancient and modern times, achieve an unparalleled feat, unify the world, and gather all the world's Luck into our Great Wu, thereby successfully condensing a Luck True Dragon.
At that time, with this Great Unification Luck, you might be able to break through the Heavenly Dao's suppression and step into the legendary Transcendent Grade Realm!"
Xuan Zhenzi's tone grew more serious as he spoke.
"But now a variable has appeared. Will this affect your plans, Old Celestial Master? Should we correct this variable while he is still weak!"
By the end of Xuan Zhenzi's words, his tone was filled with a murderous aura.
When Yaoguang was born, the entire capital was filled with purple Qi, and the strange sight of purple clouds drifting across the sky caused everyone in the capital to prostrate themselves on the ground.
At that time, all the civil and military officials believed that it was a victorious sign from the heavens after the Southern Border war, indicating that the current Your Majesty's achievements were comparable to those of ancient Sage Monarchs.
Your Majesty was overjoyed and even granted a general amnesty to the world because of it.
But Xuan Zhenzi knew that this heavenly phenomenon was caused by Yaoguang's birth.
At that time, Xuan Zhenzi was extremely shocked, because the birth of a princess actually caused the strange phenomenon of purple Qi filling the entire capital. Historically, even some founding monarchs with great Luck and Imperial fate from birth could not compare to Yaoguang.
The reason Xuan Zhenzi knew was because Old Celestial Master discovered this secret back then, and because he was proficient in the Dao of physiognomy, he was secretly brought into the palace by Old Celestial Master to conceal the physiognomy of the newborn Yaoguang, to prevent others from knowing...
"If a variable were so easy to correct, then it wouldn't be a variable!"
"If you personally take action, you are a First Grade powerhouse. In this world, besides the other four First Grade powerhouses, who can stop you!"
Xuan Zhenzi said seriously, having great confidence in Old Celestial Master's strength.
"Hahahaha, who can say that nothing can go wrong in the face of a variable? Moreover, who can say for sure that no other First Grade powerhouses have noticed this Xia Chen!"
Old Celestial Master burst into laughter, his aura benevolent, like a kind old man.
But Xuan Zhenzi knew that Old Celestial Master was not a soft-hearted person.
When he was young, Old Celestial Master once went to the Eastern Desolate alone with the Xuanwu Sword, sweeping away demons and monsters!
"Old Celestial Master means... Abbot Longshu!"
Xuan Zhenzi's expression changed slightly. He was the contemporary leader of Buddhism, and the patriarch of Buddhism in the Central Plains!
Xuan Zhenzi couldn't help but think of Great Master Tianhai actively seeking out Xia Chen at the literary gathering. Were the two truly just chatting casually?
"Hahahahaha, I don't know either. How many things are there in the world? I am just a Mortal, how can I know everything!"
Old Celestial Master laughed openly. He looked at the distant sky, with blue skies and white clouds, and a gentle breeze blowing. He laughed again and spoke.
"There's no need to harbor murderous intent. Since a variable exists, there is a reason for its existence. No one can accurately predict the future.
Even I cannot truly see through it. The appearance of a variable does not necessarily mean it will develop in a bad direction.
Perhaps, precisely because of the variable, we might gain other benefits. This is the Dao!
There is a destiny in the dark. We are all Mortal bodies, we cannot contend with Heaven. Let everything take its natural course!"
Old Celestial Master stood at the very front, with no railing in front of him. One more step forward and he would fall, but Xuan Zhenzi clearly wasn't worried that Old Celestial Master would fall.
He looked at Old Celestial Master, and at this moment, there was a sense of Immortal Qi, ethereal and merging with heaven and earth, with a mysterious Dao rhythm permeating his surroundings.
Xuan Zhenzi sighed. This was perhaps the gap between him and Old Celestial Master, not only in Realm, but also in his state of mind and understanding of the Dao.
"Since you encountered him, this might imply that you are fated to meet him. Try to get in touch with him. Don't have any other thoughts; let everything take its natural course, just like you treat Yaoguang. Sow a seed today, and perhaps it will take root and sprout in the future. I will also find an opportunity to personally meet this young man and see what mysteries he possesses!"
Old Celestial Master turned his back to Xuan Zhenzi, as if turning his back to all living beings. His whole being seemed to transform into the Dao, his aura elusive.
"Yes!"
Xuan Zhenzi bowed his head in Thank you. When he looked up again, he found himself already standing on the first floor, in front of the Zhaixing Building.
