Chapter 130: Kneel Here, Don’t Move
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Endured the dangers of receiving the Heavenly Dao’s backlash and finally pried about a ray of hope for me?
Zhao Hao felt extremely moved upon seeing Shen Tian’s “solemn” face.
Ever since he had lost his cultivation due to Qi Deviation, not one had been this genuine and selfless toward him.
Although Zhao Hao had not cultivated any divination-related arts, he had heard that as long as one divined the future, it was going against the heavens. Even the shallowest cultivation technique amongst divination arts, the “searching and assessing of ore”, would bring the Heavenly Dao’s envy. Thus, one would have ill-boding twilight years.
Even when seeing through Spirit Ores and mountain topography of Spirit Mines, one would suffer from backlash, not to mention prying into a living person’s destiny.
Normally, if it weren’t for one’s beloved, closest friends, or brothers, who would be willing to endure the backlash from the Heavenly Dao and help change one’s destiny without any obligations?
At that thought, Zhao Hao started tearing up. “Brother Shen, I have but this damaged body! How am I worth it for you to go against the heavens and help me change my destiny?”
Shen Tian smiled and said, “It’s okay. We hit it off very well, and I can see that Brother Zhao, you’re not normal... not a normal person.
“Brother Zhao, your forehead is filled with vitality, and guardians can be vaguely seen protecting you. You’ll definitely be one of the peerless geniuses in the future, and your status will rise so high it cannot be measured.
“Now that you’ve lost your cultivation is just but one of your setbacks. As long as you get past it, you’ll definitely rise to the top!”
As he spoke, Shen Tian pulled Zhao Hao. “Brother Zhao, I’ve already calculated the place in which you can change your destiny, follow me!”
Seeing how Shen Tian pulled Zhao Hao and rushed toward the east of Fog City, Zhang Yunxi’s smile gradually froze.
Qin Yundi’s eyes were full of admiration.
I’ve never thought that Senior Brother is not only proficient in the Yin-Yang Water Inverse Dao but also in divination arts.
Senior Brother is indeed Senior Brother! Such amazing talent. It’s no wonder even the Sacred Leader thinks he can lead our sect to prosperity!
Qin Gao heaved a sigh of relief.
Although His Highness still does not have a Dao companion, he seems to be quite close to Zhao Hao. This... is quite good too.
As for Eunuch Gui, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly understood.
No wonder His Highness’ recent behavior was this weird, miraculously finding the Demon Book of Hyuga in the Imperial Library and even being able to see through Spirit Ores. So His Highness actually cultivated the unfathomable Divination Dao!
Who knows from which expert he learned that from... Tsss! Is it possible that there is a profound expert with peerless strength hidden within the Lan’s Palace?
Does it mean His Highness had an expert protecting him all along? No wonder he could get through the suffering of 88 Qi Deviations. With this mysterious “master” guarding him, His Highness will finally be safe in the future.
If Concubine Lan knew, she would definitely be happy!
They had myriads of thoughts, but Shen Tian’s thinking was simple—he would freeload Zhao Hao’s fortuitous opportunity according to the scene.
In the scene of that fortuitous opportunity, Shen Tian saw that Zhao Hao was paying homage to his deceased mother in a mountain valley to the east of Fog City. As a result, he was just nicely hit by a flaming meteorite.
After successfully advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage, Shen Tian was able to use divine consciousness. Hence, his memory was many times better than normal people who did not cultivate, and he was able to clearly remember every detail.
He brought Zhao Hao toward the east of the Fog City and determined according to the scene’s scenery. Shortly after, he found that exact spot.
In the instant when they walked into the mountain valley, Zhao Hao took a deep breath. “Brother Shen, how do you know that my mother is buried here?”
Shen Tian replied calmly, “Brother Zhao’s attribute is Fire, so you need the vitality of Wood to flourish. I’ve divined that this blessed land has unbreakable blood tie karma with Brother Zhao. It can help you to overcome your difficulties and rise up.”
After walking calmly into the mountain valley, Shen Tian stood in front of a tomb, which was full of colorful flowers. That was the resting place of Zhao Hao’s mother.
Zhao Hao gradually knelt down in front of the tomb and said, “My mother was proficient in Wood Dharma techniques, so she loved nature. She had requested to be buried here when she was alive.
“Mother, I’m unfilial and have not lived up to your expectations. If you can hear me, I hope you can bless me to recover my cultivation sooner.”
Shen Tian patted Zhao Hao’s shoulders. “Brother Zhao, the Heavenly Dao decides one’s destiny, but there’s still a ray of hope. Your chance to change your fate is within this mountain valley.
“As long as you stay in this mountain valley for three days and nights and keep vigil for your mother’s tomb, then within three days, your opportunity will descend from the sky. Then, you will be able to overcome this setback and rise up.”
Zhao Hao’s face was filled with excitement. “Even without the opportunity, it’s my due obligation to keep vigil at my mother’s tomb to fulfill my filial piety.
“However, what Brother Shen says seems to be too unbelievable. I just need to kneel here for three days and nights, and an opportunity will descend from the sky and recover my cultivation?”
Shen Tian shook his head. “Of course not. If Brother Zhao thinks kneeling for three days and nights is too tiring, then it’s fine for you to stand.”
Zhao Hao shook his head firmly. “How can I do that? My mother’s soul is blessing me even from the heavens, how could I be disrespectful?
“I’ll kneel! I’ll definitely kneel for these three days and nights. Brother Shen, please don’t try to persuade me any longer! Let me fulfill my filial piety!”
Zhao Hao’s determination rendered Shen Tian speechless. What could he do in this situation!?
Shen Tian had seen that the opportunity would arrive on the night of the full moon, so it should be around the 15th.
It was already the 14th, so according to Shen Tian’s inference, it was highly possible that Zhao Hao’s fortuitous opportunity would fall upon him within these three days.
Since the scenes of the fortuitous opportunities that Shen Tian could see were all recent, it was impossible for him to suddenly see the scene of a fortuitous opportunity that was on the 15th of the next month!
Zhao Hao had already knelt in front of the tomb with firm determination, so Shen Tian had no choice but to say, “Since Brother Zhao is this filial, I won’t try to persuade you anymore.”
He took out a cushion and a bag of dried rations from his Archeon Sea Ring.
“Brother Zhao, just kneel here and don’t walk around. I’ll leave these dried rations and the cushion for you. You should know that perseverance is the key to success. You can do it!”
After finishing, Shen Tian turned and left, leaving behind Zhao Hao, whose face was filled with gratitude.
Not only did Brother Shen help me change my destiny while enduring the dangers of backlash from the Heavenly Dao, but he is even this considerate and thoughtful. He’s so handsome, dignified, and unyielding to fate. He is also good at thinking for others... He’s just too perfect!
In that instant, Zhao Hao finally understood that the reason Princess Xue Wuxia had fallen in love with him was not only as simple as Shen Tian’s handsome appearance.
Brother Shen, I’m sincerely convinced by being defeated by you!
...
On the other side, Shen Tian, who did not know that Zhao Hao’s imagination was running wild, was in fact quite troubled.
I had already said it’s fine to stand, but he just had to kneel. He did not even give me the chance to persuade him!
Although seeing him this filial was moving, Shen Tian felt that he had cheated someone again.
Nevermind, even if he has lost his cultivation, his physical foundation is still there. If it’s just kneeling for three days and nights, it won’t harm Zhao Hao. At most, I’ll absorb him into the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground after he regains his cultivation and compensate him slowly.
At that thought, Shen Tian let Zhao Hao be and started searching for Fang Chang’s fortuitous opportunity.
Previously, the huge fortuitous opportunity that Shen Tian had seen on top of Fang Chang’s head was deep within the mountain valley of fog.
Now, it was already afternoon, which was when the spirit fog had dispersed the most.
Shen Tian took a deep breath.
It’s time to go and obtain that super fortuitous opportunity!
