241: Chapter 241 Heavenly Fire Dao Venerable

Inside the main hall of Chilian Peak.

Daoist Master Cangxuan sat on the main seat, looking at Lin Tian in front of him with a serious expression.

Golden light flickered in his eyes.

That was the manifestation of all the Imperial Destiny Power gathering in his eyes.

He wanted to see why Lin Tian possessed the Power of Imperial Fortune.

As a Child of Luck of a world, there must be something special about him.

Standing below, Lin Tian felt uncomfortable being stared at by Daoist Master Cangxuan's glowing golden eyes, as if he had been seen through from the inside out.

He lowered his head, not daring to look directly, his palms covered in sweat.

After careful observation, Daoist Master Cangxuan finally discovered the clue.

In Lin Tian's mind, he felt a strand of unfamiliar Soul aura.

That aura was hidden extremely well, almost fused with Lin Tian's Soul, so ordinary people could not discover it at all.

Even an existence at the Peak Domain Realm would not be able to see it.

The reason Daoist Master Cangxuan could discover it was entirely because he possessed the Imperial Destiny Power.

Through the sensing of the Power of Imperial Fortune, he had captured that extremely faint anomaly.

"So that's it." Daoist Master Cangxuan understood in his heart, and the golden light in his eyes slowly dissipated.

"Oh no! He discovered me!"

Just as Lin Tian was terrified and at a loss for what to do, his Revered Master's voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

The voice was aged and calm, but Lin Tian could tell that his Revered Master's tone carried a hint of solemnity.

"Ma... Revered Master!"

"You mean... you were discovered?"

"Yes!"

"How is this possible?" Lin Tian was almost crying, "Then... what should we do?"

"Do not move recklessly." His Revered Master's voice remained calm.

"Since the other party has already discovered us, we will have to act according to the situation, because we have no choice."

Lin Tian took a deep breath, trying hard to calm himself down.

His Revered Master was right.

The other party was a super expert above the Late Stage Domain Realm; they simply had no choice.

Run? Could they run?

Fight? Could they win?

Rather than panicking, it was better to face it calmly.

Daoist Master Cangxuan was sitting on the main seat, looking at him with a faint smile.

That gaze was as calm as water, yet it seemed capable of seeing through everything.

In the main hall, there was silence.

Daoist Master Cangxuan did not speak, and Lin Tian did not dare to open his mouth.

The two just stared at each other, and an invisible pressure permeated the air.

Finally, Daoist Master Cangxuan spoke, "Fellow Daoist, why not come out and meet?"

His voice was not loud, but it echoed in the main hall, carrying an unquestionable majesty.

As his voice fell, the main hall fell into silence again. But a moment later—

A sigh rang out in Lin Tian's mind, "Sigh... what is meant to come will come eventually."

That voice was aged and helpless, carrying a weariness from having experienced the vicissitudes of life.

Lin Tian felt a warm energy surge from his mind, then slowly condense beside him.

He turned his head and saw an illusory figure slowly taking shape beside him.

It was an old man.

He wore a gray Daoist robe, his beard and hair were all white, and his face was gaunt.

His body was translucent; clearly, it was just a remnant Soul, with no physical form.

But in his eyes, a deep light flickered, the wisdom accumulated after countless years.

After the old man appeared, he first looked at Lin Tian, his gaze carrying a hint of apology.

After smiling slightly at Lin Tian, the old man turned directly to look at Daoist Master Cangxuan on the main seat.

"I am Daoist Master Tianhuo, greetings Fellow Daoist."

Daoist Master Cangxuan looked at this illusory figure in front of him, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Because he could feel that although this remnant Soul had dissipated by more than half, he could deduce from this pure Soul energy that the other party's strength during his lifetime was extremely strong, definitely not below his own.

"Daoist Master Tianhuo?" Daoist Master Cangxuan recited the name once, then asked.

"Judging by the purity of your Soul energy, Fellow Daoist, you must have been a figure who shook the world during your lifetime, right?"

These words made Daoist Master Tianhuo smile bitterly.

"Fellow Daoist is too polite; I am merely a person clinging to life."

"Since you could discover me, Fellow Daoist, you must not be an ordinary person either. May I ask, what level has your true cultivation actually reached?"

"Could it be that you have already passed the Domain Realm and reached that legendary Realm?"

Daoist Master Cangxuan did not answer. He just smiled slightly.

"Since you are residing inside this young friend, Fellow Daoist, it must be to preserve your remnant Soul and wait for a chance at Rebirth, right?"

Daoist Master Tianhuo nodded.

"Fellow Daoist, your Wisdom Eye is like a torch. My Physical Body has been destroyed, and only this remnant Soul remains. If I did not reside within someone else, I fear I would have already dissipated between heaven and earth."

Daoist Master Cangxuan nodded, then asked, "Then what do you plan to do next, Fellow Daoist?"

Daoist Master Tianhuo was silent for a moment, then said.

"I originally wanted my Disciple to join the Tianyuan Sect and use the Sect's resources to Cultivate. When his strength was sufficient, he would find a way for me to reshape my Physical Body. Unexpectedly—"

He glanced at Daoist Master Cangxuan, "I was discovered by you on the first day."

Daoist Master Cangxuan couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.

"Fellow Daoist, there is no need to be nervous."

"I have no ill intentions toward you. On the contrary, I feel that this is fate."

"Fate?" Daoist Master Tianhuo was stunned.

"Yes, fate." Daoist Master Cangxuan nodded, then looked at Daoist Master Tianhuo.

"If you do not mind, Fellow Daoist, you can continue to remain inside Lin Tian. I will not interfere in the affairs between you and your Disciple."

Daoist Master Tianhuo was stunned.

He had thought that after Daoist Master Cangxuan discovered him, he would either expel him, kill him, or use him to do something.

But he never expected that the other party would be so magnanimous, not only not driving him away but also willing to continue accepting Lin Tian as a Disciple?

"Fellow Daoist..." Daoist Master Tianhuo's voice was even a bit choked up.

"Fellow Daoist is so magnanimous, I..."

"That is enough, that is enough." Daoist Master Cangxuan waved his hand and said, "I said it is fate. When fate arrives, one naturally encounters it. Fellow Daoist need not overthink it."

Daoist Master Tianhuo took a deep breath, then bowed deeply toward Daoist Master Cangxuan.

"I will keep your great kindness in my heart, Fellow Daoist."

Daoist Master Cangxuan waved his hand, then looked at Lin Tian.

"Lin Tian, come here."

Lin Tian quickly walked forward and knelt respectfully, "Greetings, Revered Master."

Daoist Master Cangxuan looked at him and said indifferently, "From today on, you are my Personal Disciple. I will teach you the method to Cultivate, and I will also help your Revered Master find a way to reshape his Physical Body."

"But you must also remember—there are no shortcuts on the path to Cultivate. Only by being steadfast can you go further."

"Disciple will strictly follow Revered Master's teachings!"

Daoist Master Cangxuan nodded, then waved his hand, "Alright, you stand aside first. I have something to say to your Revered Master."

"Yes." Lin Tian stood up, turned around, and went to the side.

Daoist Master Cangxuan looked at Daoist Master Tianhuo with a serious expression, his face showing a look of solemnity for the first time.

"Fellow Daoist, this should not be! With your strength, how could you have fallen?"
