436: "Ascensioners"

As the pillar of light carried Zhou Tailai away,

In a daze,

The scenery before Zhou Tailai's eyes changed.

A mighty river surged endlessly.

And he stood by the bank of that surging river.

"Young Cultivator..."

At this moment, a tall, shadowy figure with a large head and small body rose from the surging river.

Xumi Boy greeted him with the same routine words.

But before he could finish speaking,

A young voice rang out.

"Senior Pagoda Spirit!"

Zhou Tailai bowed respectfully to the rising shadowy figure.

"Hmm?"

Xumi Boy paused.

With a thought, he looked down at the riverbank.

A Cultivator who knew about the Artifact Spirit and his existence

must have a background.

"Whose Junior are you?"

Xumi Boy scrutinized him for a few moments.

He only felt that the gray-robed young man before him carried a hint of an aura that he disliked.

Xumi Boy lost his mood and asked casually.

"Senior, Junior is Zhou Tailai, a Disciple of the Zhou Family from Qingyang Peak in the Azure Dragon Domain. Greetings, Senior!"

Zhou Tailai's expression turned solemn, and he bowed respectfully.

"Oh?"

"So it's a Zhou Family kid..."

Xumi Boy looked over again.

He stroked his chin.

"Have you cultivated the Heavenly Capital Fate Prediction Method?"

Xumi Boy took a closer look.

He finally confirmed the source of that unpleasant aura.

He had just been sleeping.

Who knew that with a casual point in his dream, he would bring Zhou Tailai in?

He had no choice.

Xumi Boy could only get up and perform his official duties.

But he hadn't looked closely.

"Senior's Wisdom Eye is like a torch!"

Zhou Tailai looked admiring, his face showing a hint of reverence.

"Hehe..."

Xumi Boy chuckled.

Indeed, he had cultivated the Legacy from the Tianji Pavilion.

That's why he felt disgusted.

After all, Old Man Tianji had suppressed him back then.

How could there be no enmity?

"Although you are a Zhou Family kid, this Seat cannot show favoritism and break the rules I have set."

Xumi Boy thought for a moment and said righteously.

However, the following turn of phrase had not yet come out.

He saw the young Zhou Family Disciple bow again.

"Senior, Junior came here to ask Senior to take a look..."

Zhou Tailai recounted his story.

He spoke of how he had been extremely lucky since childhood.

Although good luck wasn't a bad thing,

He couldn't stand how *too* good his luck was.

The elders in his Clan couldn't find the source.

So he wanted to search for it himself.

This was also the main purpose of his descent from the mountain this time.

As for the secondary purpose,

It was naturally to make a name for himself in a certain area.

To gain some reputation.

Before descending the mountain,

He had met Ancestor Yue.

Ancestor Yue told him that

the Pagoda Spirit in Two Realms Mountain was the oldest existence in the Mingyang Realm.

Perhaps he had seen people like him.

So, he came to Two Realms Mountain.

At this moment,

Zhou Tailai took off the Storage Pouch at his waist.

He took out the supporting evidence from inside.

Xumi Boy shrunk his figure.

He circled Zhou Tailai a few times.

He clicked his tongue in wonder.

"Senior, do you have any clues?"

Zhou Tailai finished speaking, feeling a chill run down his spine from Xumi Boy's gaze.

He quickly asked.

"Tsk tsk, Zhou Family kid, I have indeed seen some people with luck as excellent as yours."

As soon as Xumi Boy's words came out, Zhou Tailai's face lit up with joy.

"Speaking of which, every strong individual who manages to grow has flourishing luck."

"This supports them in their journey, turning misfortune into fortune and reaching the pinnacle."

"However, these seem to be different from your situation..."

As Xumi Boy spoke, he fell silent again.

"Senior, what's different?"

Zhou Tailai pressed.

"Your luck is like oil burning fiercely, growing stronger and stronger, your fortune is excellent, but a fire without roots will eventually burn out."

"By then, I'm afraid..."

"In the past, when I traveled through the Great Thousand Worlds with my master, I did see a few strong individuals with luck like yours."

"They went further than you, and their cultivation was higher."

"But, without exception,"

"Their final outcomes were tragic..."

Xumi Boy sighed softly, a hint of pity in his eyes.

"This..."

Zhou Tailai's heart sank.

"Senior, do you know the reason?"

Zhou Tailai felt a bit uneasy and asked further.

"My master doesn't know either."

Xumi Boy shook his head.

His master didn't know why this situation occurred.

Naturally, he didn't know either.

"Hoo~"

"Thank you, Senior Pagoda Spirit, for clarifying!"

Zhou Tailai suppressed the thoughts in his heart and thanked him earnestly.

"Zhou Family kid, you don't need to worry so much."

"Your Old Ancestor is no simple character."

"With your Old Ancestor's protection, your future cannot be predicted."

Xumi Boy chuckled.

Listening to Xumi Boy's words, Zhou Tailai's heart settled.

His own Old Ancestor was indeed remarkable.

"Senior Pagoda Spirit, Junior's journey here is now complete."

"When Junior has the ability in the future, I will return to repay Senior's kindness of informing me."

Zhou Tailai's expression was solemn.

"No need for that."

Xumi Boy waved his hand.

Seeing that Zhou Tailai had indeed only come for this,

He said no more.

With a wave of his hand, he sent Zhou Tailai out of the xumi pagoda.

Outside the xumi pagoda,

In the Two Realms Market,

On the periphery,

Zhou Tailai's figure reappeared before the wooden table in a flash of light.

"He's out!"

"Little Half Immortal, I have a daughter, sixteen years old, her appearance..."

Someone with quick eyes and hands,

Seeing Zhou Tailai appear,

Rushed over in a single stride.

Words poured out like a stream.

"Wait, wait."

Zhou Tailai rubbed his forehead.

He raised a hand to block them.

He had already heard about the tradition here on the way.

He hadn't expected it to happen to him so quickly.

If his peers in the Clan found out that he was almost captured to be a son-in-law, they would probably die laughing.

His reputation would truly be ruined.

"Fellow Daoists, I am a solitary person, unbound."

"I only wish to see the world alone."

"I appreciate the good intentions of all Fellow Daoists."

Looking at the group of eager Cultivators of various kinds,

Zhou Tailai quickly spoke.

"Alas..."

Looking at Zhou Tailai, who seemed determined,

Some sighed secretly.

Others sneered.

Young people are still too naive, not understanding the principle that a tall tree catches the wind.

Perhaps this Little Half Immortal will find it difficult to leave Two Realms Mountain.

"Everyone, I only offer three divinations a day, first come, first served."

"If anyone wishes to inquire, it's first come, first served."

Zhou Tailai was indifferent to everyone's sighs and regrets.

He continued to speak to himself.

Having witnessed Zhou Tailai's previous words and actions,

Some believed him and wanted to have their fortunes told.

Others sneered, believing Zhou Tailai was nothing but a fraud.

"Hmph!"

"I'll go!"

At this moment,

A middle-aged man, around thirty or forty years old, strode forward.

He came before the wooden table.

Looking at this person,

Some people stopped in their tracks.

There's a good show to watch!

"Fellow Daoist, what do you wish to inquire about?"

Zhou Tailai didn't recognize this person.

He nodded slightly.

He casually took out a round disc engraved with the four ancient seal characters "Heavenly Capital Fate Prediction."

"Since you claim to inquire about the secrets of heaven, then calculate my background!"

Qin Xinming's mouth twitched.

He was ready to watch a joke and smash the stall.

"Alright."

In Zhou Tailai's eyes, a hazy light flowed.

In his hand, the disc floated gently.

The four seal characters lit up sequentially.

Buzz~

Zhou Tailai's eyes paused.

He felt as if there were ethereal threads on the person before him, extending into the distance.

However, these ethereal threads seemed out of place here.

As if they couldn't integrate.

Zhou Tailai's heart stirred.

He truly hadn't discerned this person's background.

It was just that this person's Heavenly Capital Fate Line was somewhat strange.

But Zhou Tailai didn't think much of it.

Every charlatan possesses the skill of being mysterious.

Zhou Tailai was no exception.

The hazy light in his eyes flowed and fell upon Qin Xinming.

Qin Xinming's heart tightened.

It felt as if his entire being, inside and out, had been seen through.

"No one will know..."

Qin Xinming forced himself to remain calm.

"You, do not belong here."

At this moment, Zhou Tailai spoke lightly.

His words, however, were like a clap of thunder, exploding in Qin Xinming's mind.

"How can this be!"

"How did he know I'm not from this world..."
