446: Destiny!

Is Yao Xian easy to deal with?

He is.

Yang Dian’s mind raced, and he thought of several ways to handle him.

The safest method was to release him, abandon him here, and even give up the entire Emerald Dragon Star.

It would be as if Emerald Dragon Star and the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty never existed, ensuring that Earth would not have any interaction with the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty until he possessed sufficient power.

However, this method was a bit too cautious.

Opportunities are hard to come by.

It’s not easy to encounter a living planet, especially one like Emerald Dragon Star, which offered a chance to fully conquer.

If he gave up this time, what if he lacked the strength to deal with other crises in the future?

This safest method only cycled through Yang Dian’s mind for a moment before he dismissed it.

“So, should I throw Yao Xian and the other people from the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty onto Lingwen Star, let them summon the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty there, and have them clash with the Lesser Star God and the Great Star God?”

“Or, should I seek wealth in danger?”

How would he seek wealth?

He could impersonate Yao Xian, take his place in everything, and infiltrate the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty’s ranks.

“Perhaps I could do both?”

“While impersonating Yao Xian, I could also go to Lingwen Star to summon the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty’s army, let the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty clash with the Lesser Star God, and see if I can gain any benefits from it.”

“But before that, I need to obtain all of Yao Xian’s information, including but not limited to his Cultivation Technique, interpersonal relationships, and how he conducts himself.”

“Otherwise, if I meet someone he knows, I’m sure to be exposed.”

“Hmm, I also need to prepare some Cultivation Techniques and abilities to deal with truth-seeking methods.”

“Yao Xian and these people have been away from the realm for 300 years; they will undoubtedly be interrogated upon their return.”

Thinking this, Yang Dian nodded to Yao Xian, who was looking at him with anticipation:

“It’s not impossible to take you out of this world to another place to summon the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty’s army.”

“But are you sure the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty’s army will come?”

Yao Xian nodded, his face showing certainty:

“Our Directorate of Imperial Astronomy is responsible for searching for living worlds for the Immortal Dynasty. No one understands the Immortal Dynasty’s and the Heavenly Emperor’s desire for living worlds better than us.”

“As long as the Heavenly Emperor knows there’s a living world here, no matter the cost, he will send an army, or even descend himself.”

Yang Dian understood.

He was also very eager for Emerald Dragon Star and the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty.

Let’s not even talk about the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty.

After all, the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty’s power was a bit exaggerated, and it certainly couldn’t be conquered in a short time.

Just consider Emerald Dragon Star.

“If I could completely conquer Emerald Dragon Star and find its Star Core, to what extent could Earth grow? And how much benefit could I gain?”

Even a Strange Star similar to Earth in its Early Stage of Qi Revival could increase his power by hundreds or thousands of times. What about Emerald Dragon Star, which had more Spiritual Qi and higher quality Qi than Earth?

Yang Dian expressed his anticipation for this.

“It’s good that they can come.” After responding, Yang Dian changed the subject:

“However, I still have some matters to attend to on Emerald Dragon Star. After I finish those, I will take you away from Emerald Dragon Star to another place to summon the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty’s army.”

Yao Xian, already a bit impatient, frowned.

However, remembering Yang Dian’s power, he continued to follow Yang Dian’s words:

“Please, Senior, take your time.”

“It just so happens that I also need to wait for the Fated One of this world to arrive in Canglan City and follow his footsteps onto the Path of Destiny.”

“When you are done, you can contact me anytime.”

Seeing Yao Xian frown, Yang Dian felt a little amused.

Perhaps from the moment he agreed to take Yao Xian away from Emerald Dragon Star, Yao Xian had already assumed the identity of an envoy from a suzerain state, wanting to order him around.

“Having been away from the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty for 300 years, Yao Xian still subconsciously displays such emotions when facing a powerful person from a subordinate state as an envoy from a suzerain state.”

“One can imagine what status the common people of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty’s subordinate states hold.”

“They are probably no different from slaves or livestock.”

“A nation truly is a person’s greatest backing, isn’t it?”

While sighing inwardly, Yang Dian also asked curiously:

“What do ‘Fated One’ and ‘Path of Destiny’ mean?”

Yao Xian pondered for a moment, then still revealed the relevant information:

“Destiny is related to the Cultivation Technique I primarily Cultivate.”

“The Directorate of Imperial Astronomy has a Cultivation Technique called the ‘Heavenly Mandate Art’.”

“Its Cultivation method is to assist the Fated One, help the Fated One embark on the Path of Destiny, and absorb the destiny that emanates from the Fated One to enhance oneself.”

“A village has the destiny of a village, a county has the destiny of a county, a nation has the destiny of a nation, and a realm has the destiny of a realm…”

“Assisting the Fated One in fulfilling their destiny, or even helping the Fated One advance their destiny, helping them progress from the destiny of a village to that of a county or nation, can all provide a large amount of destiny feedback, rapidly increasing one’s strength.”

At this point, Yao Xian again showed an apologetic expression to Yang Dian:

“The ‘Heavenly Mandate Art’ is a secret Cultivation Technique of our Directorate of Imperial Astronomy and cannot be shown to others.”

“If you wish to observe the ‘Heavenly Mandate Art’ or other divine techniques and secret methods of our Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, you may apply to do so after joining the Immortal Dynasty and becoming an Immortal Marquis.”

Yang Dian was thoughtful:

“Using the Star Manifestation Art to find the Fated One, then assisting the Fated One to embark on the Path of Destiny, and finally using the Heavenly Mandate Art to absorb destiny feedback to enhance one’s strength?”

“It’s a complete cycle.”

As he pondered, the energy in the place where Yang Dian’s Soul resided once again began to burn fiercely, and the progress bar after the Star Manifestation Art also began to grow rapidly.

In a few blinks of an eye, the world in Yang Dian’s perception became vastly different.

Originally, people were people, and things were things, clearly separated.

After Cultivating the Star Manifestation Art, there were connections between people and people, people and things, and things and things. All things in the world were connected by magnetic fields, becoming inseparable from each other.

And now, these magnetic field coils had new changes.

The magnetic field coils, which were originally only a mixture of virtual and real, thick and thin, began to have colors, and the information contained within them became more detailed.

“Disaster is gray-black. Where does the disaster come from, and how can the calamity be resolved…”

“Fortune is golden yellow. Where does the fortune come from, and where does the luck originate…”

“Who harbors evil thoughts, and murderous intent…”

“Where do disasters arise, and calamities occur…”

The Star Manifestation Art, which Yao Xian had Cultivated for an unknown number of years and still required constant hand seals to operate, had already been completely mastered by Yang Dian, who even developed its first trait.

“The first trait of the Star Manifestation Art, Observing Destiny?”

Blinking his eyes, Yang Dian, who was operating the Star Manifestation Art, found that dark clouds had already gathered above Yao Xian’s head.

Even the black cloud of misfortune had begun to spread to other magnetic field lines, making his surroundings appear dark and oppressive.

This clearly indicated that a great disaster was imminent, and death was not far off.

“That bad?”

Muttering to himself, Yang Dian traced the magnetic field of misfortune back to its source.

Then, he saw himself.

“Uh, so Yao Xian’s tragic life originated from me?”

Thinking about it carefully, Yang Dian felt that it made sense.

He was already planning to impersonate Yao Xian; what good outcome could Yao Xian possibly have?

Yao Xian, in front of Yang Dian, felt a chill from his gaze.

“S-Senior?”

“Is something amiss?”

Yang Dian waved his hand:

“Nothing is amiss.”

“Let’s leave it at that for now.”

“After I finish what I’m doing, I’ll contact you.”

With that, Yang Dian stood up, holding Big Black Cat, and, along with the chair behind him, abruptly disappeared in front of Yao Xian.

Watching Yang Dian disappear without a word, Yao Xian first froze, then his expression began to change continuously.

“He left?”

Muttering, he curled his fingers, wanting to take out a communication jade slip from his Storage Ring to inform others about the anomaly that was Yang Dian.

But remembering the scene where Yang Dian suddenly appeared in the room just now, he dismissed the idea.

“Sigh~”

“I just needed to wait for the Fated One to arrive, and then I could start the plan.”

“Heaven does not grant one’s wishes, alas~”

“I hope he Cultivates the Star Manifestation Art, or the Nine Tribulations Nirvana Sutra…”
