"That's not how it works. This nobleman is notorious for being arrogant and unreasonable in the Three Heavens Academy. Even some of the academy's teachers can't afford to offend him, let alone Tianbei Valley."

Yunping thought about it and realized that this made sense.

The Three Heavens Academy is an absolute concentration camp of geniuses in the entire Desolate Heaven Domain. The number of big shots there is more than all the other places combined, and any one of them is a regional overlord.

Compared to the Three-Day Academy, Tianbei Valley was practically no different from an ant.

Probably getting carried away with talking, the girl gave Yunping a wink, then leaned close to his ear and whispered something.

"Hey, brother, let me tell you another secret."

"What secret? You're a woman?"

The girl was quite frightened by those four words, but seeing the calm expression on Yunping's face, she assumed he was just joking.

"Brother, please don't joke like that. The secret I'm talking about concerns that king."

"Oh, go ahead and tell me."

"Well, actually, it's not a particularly secretive one. Quite a few people already know about it, but they haven't made it public out of respect for Tianbei Valley."

"Out of consideration for Tianbei Valley?"

Yunping frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.

There aren't many things that could affect Tianbei Valley's reputation, but unfortunately, Yunping happens to know one.

— Ye Yuchan's spiritual root was dug out.

If word got out that one's own disciple had his spiritual roots dug out by a fellow disciple and was left to rot in the wilderness, it would definitely cause a huge reputational uproar.

Yunping's guess was right.

"Let me tell you, not long ago, a disciple of Tianbei Valley had his spiritual root dug out by other disciples of Tianbei Valley, and even his body was destroyed!"

"Moreover, this matter was instructed by the elder. I guess that disciple offended someone with connections. Tsk tsk tsk, this shows how thoroughly evil the Tianbei Valley sect is."

The girl who had thoroughly humiliated Tianbei Valley showed a look of resentment on her face, while also reminding Yunping.

"Brother, I think if you don't get selected by the Three Heavens Academy later, you should just run away. This Tianbei Valley is no place for a human to stay."

Before Yunping could respond, he saw the jade pendant on the girl's chest flicker slightly, and the girl's expression changed abruptly.

She glanced at Yunping, chuckled, and then took out a strange coin and tossed it to him.

"Here, this is for you."

"By the way, my name is Lan Tianyi. I have something to do right now, see you later!"

Yunping took the money, and in the blink of an eye, the girl disappeared without a trace.

gone.

Just like that, you left?

That's way too fast! They came over, chatted for a bit, and then just disappeared, leaving behind this weird coin?

……

Blue Sky One?

Yunping muttered the name that seemed somewhat familiar for some reason, picked up the coin in his hand, examined it carefully for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.

Forget it, it's probably just the same old troubles again.

He'd caused quite a few troubles in the past, and he couldn't possibly remember them all. This blue sky and this coin probably had some connection to his past self.

Thinking this, Yunping put the coins into his storage ring, glanced at the gradually thinning crowd, and then his gaze fell on the arena.

It's almost his turn.

11. Prophecy

"Tianyi, where did you run off to again? Didn't I tell you not to wander off like that?"

"Hehehe, Uncle-Master, I was wrong~ I just heard you calling me, so I rushed back."

"You're always causing trouble for me."

The man gently tapped Lan Tianyi on the head as a form of punishment.

Lan Tian stuck out her tongue, obediently moved closer to the man, and hooked her arm around his.

Her practiced movements made it clear that she must often cling to men. Although this might be a misunderstanding, Lan Tianyi had been by her uncle's side since she was old enough to understand things, so it wouldn't be surprising if they had intimate interactions.

However, this scene took on a different meaning in the eyes of outsiders.

Noticing the various gazes coming from all directions, the man sighed sadly, grabbed Lan Tianyi's head, and pulled the little guy off him.

"Tianyi, mind your image. This is a public place."

"No, I used to hug my martial uncle like that all the time!"

"...But you're a man now!"

"Eh?"

Lan Tian raised her head, looked at the man with a bitter expression, and blinked her clear, azure eyes, as blue as the sky.

—It seems that's how it is.

To outsiders unaware of the truth, the scene of the two of them being all lovey-dovey would probably appear as two cultivators with homosexual tendencies showing off their affection.

Just thinking about it is a bit scary.

"Hehehe, Martial Uncle, I was wrong, I was wrong~"

Lan Tian chuckled and released the man's arm, then dutifully kept a distance from his martial uncle to prevent any misunderstandings from outsiders.

The man shook his head with a wry smile. This girl was really good in every way, except that she was a little silly at times.

Perhaps this is the soul resonance of the inheritors, even the adorable trait is the same as the previous generation.

Some unpleasant thoughts popped into his mind, and the man shook his head, asking seriously in a slightly interrogative tone.

"Alright, let's not talk about that now. Tianyi, what were you doing just now? Don't tell me you were flirting with some young girl again."

"What do you mean 'again'! When did I ever flirt with a young girl?!"

"Still trying to deny it? Then tell me, what was that woman who was shouting and yelling behind you in the city earlier?"

"...That's because..." Lan Tianyi's face flushed red, and he stomped his foot angrily, "Oh well, anyway, I really didn't go looking for that girl!"

The implication is that when she disguised herself as a man and went to the city, she really hooked up with quite a few girls!

It's really strange, but when Lan Tianyi changed into men's clothing, he exuded a rather arrogant young man's air. Coincidentally, this is exactly the kind of vibe that girls like most in today's society.

After all, five hundred years ago, the famous True Immortal Emperor Wen followed a carefree and unrestrained path, and the number of women following him was counted in cities. It could even be said that Emperor Wen changed the aesthetics of this world.

But that's all in the past. The man has already punished Lan Tianyi. What he wants to know now is what just happened.

"Since you weren't causing trouble, then tell me, what were you doing before?"

"I'm off to get down to business!"

"Important business? What important business?"

The man stared in astonishment at Lan Tianyi, who had suddenly stood tall and proud, as if he were the embodiment of justice.

This girl used to blush and get all hot and sweaty when she lied, but what happened to her? She's so righteous and awe-inspiring when she lies now?

Could it be that this girl has really gone to do something important? Impossible, has my little princess changed her ways?

"Hmph, I knew you wouldn't believe me, Uncle-Master!" Lan Tianyi snorted coldly and said proudly, "Just now, I went to see the person mentioned in the prophecy!"

"Prophecy? You don't mean the prophecy of Master Xu, do you?"

"Exactly!"

The man's expression froze.

His tone instantly became less gentle, instead gaining an undeniable solemnity.

"Tianyi, don't lie to your martial uncle. Tell me the truth, did you really go to see the person in the prophecy?"

"Really! Really! Tianyi didn't lie to his martial uncle! How could Tianyi joke about something so important?!"

"How did you know that person was the prophet?"

"Because the sky is not clearly visible!"

Can't see clearly?

The man hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth slightly and stared at the blue sky in astonishment.

"You mean, your eyes..."

“Yes! Tianyi’s Divine Eye couldn’t see that person’s fate.” Recalling the moment he met that young man, the endless darkness made Lantian feel a chill run down his spine. “Or rather, that person had no fate at all.”

"A fate that even the divine eye cannot see..."

The man fell silent.

He knew what the Divine Eye was. It was a special physique known as the eye that could see the truth. Perhaps only Lan Tianyi in the three great heavens possessed the Divine Eye. Just as its name suggests, the Divine Eye could see the fate of anything in the world, even inanimate objects, and could see the scene of them being annihilated into nothingness.

But she said that she couldn't see that person clearly with her divine eye.

The man didn't know what this meant, but he was certain that the person was the one who had made the prophecy.

According to Xu Banxian's prophecy, during their trip to the Desolate Heaven Domain, they would inevitably encounter someone whose divine eyes could not perceive them. This person would have a great connection with their Blue Feather Heavenly Palace and would become their benefactor in the future.

Could that prophecy be true...?

While still in shock, the man felt his clothes being tugged twice.

"Uncle-Master, Uncle-Master! Look, look over there!!"

Lan Tian's anxious appearance caught the man's attention.

He followed Lan Tianyi's finger and, as expected, saw a figure slowly walking onto the arena from inside the array barrier.

A tall, handsome figure dressed in snow-white robes.

"Uncle-Master, that person! It's the one I met!"

"It's the person foretold in the prophecy!"
