Chapter 2039: Chapter 976: Auspicious Omen "What are you talking about? I don’t quite understand..." Elder Master Xun lied with a serious face. Elder Ouyang frowned, "With such a commotion, don’t tell me you didn’t see it." "I was in seclusion, and I could see clearly, a towering tree rising from the ground, golden light covering the entire mountain range, lighting up the dark night as if it were day..." "And, what was on that tree? Were those Formation Patterns? Each branch a Formation, each flower a Pattern?" "Truly incredible..." "I’ve lived for so long, it’s the first time I’ve seen something like this." Elder Ouyang pondered, "Is this a Taoist Friend breaking through? Is that why there’s such a celestial phenomenon? Is it the extraordinary Feather Transformation or the Heaven Void Realm breaking through the void?" "Doesn’t seem like it..." Linghu Ancestor of the Rushing Void Sect thought for a moment, then shook his head, "When cultivators break through, the celestial phenomena are formed from Spiritual Power or Blood Qi, not Divine Sense." "That’s true, I’ve never seen anyone’s celestial phenomenon be composed of Divine Sense..." "But regardless," Linghu Ancestor said solemnly, "to create such a magnificent, radiant, and mysterious phenomenon, like the blooming of Heavenly Lotus of Earth and the flourishing of myriad laws of the Divine Tree, this person is no ordinary individual, surely a ’sage’, perhaps even a senior who focuses purely on the path of Divine Thought, taking an unconventional path..." "Makes sense." The other two ancestors nodded in agreement. Elder Master Xun’s expression was complex, unsure of how to begin. If this phenomenon was indeed caused by Mo Hua. He couldn’t possibly tell these three Heaven Void Realm ancestors that the ’senior’ they spoke of was just a little disciple at Foundation Establishment stage... These three old fellows would want to find a hole to crawl into out of embarrassment... Elder Master Xun coughed lightly and said slowly, "It’s not that exaggerated, just a small anomaly, no need to make a fuss." Linghu Ancestor raised an eyebrow, "By saying that, Brother Xun, do you know the origin of this phenomenon?" Elder Ouyang and Murong Ancestor also looked over. Elder Master Xun remained calm, knowing these people were trying to trick him into revealing information, so he shamelessly shook his head and sighed: "I don’t know, maybe I’m just old and my eyesight is poor, the golden light flashed, and by the time I looked over, there was only a shadow left, couldn’t see anything clearly." The few elders naturally didn’t believe it. Elder Ouyang said, "For the Taoist inheritance of this Taixu Mountain, you care more than anyone else, the slightest stir can’t escape your notice, you say you don’t know, who would believe it?" "Indeed, you’ve also practiced the Heavenly Mechanism Skill, it might make sense for us not to know, but for you to say you don’t know is somewhat self-deceptive." "No matter what, we need an explanation today..." Murong Ancestor stayed mostly silent but the ancestors of the Tai’a and Chongxu branches pressed on more aggressively. At midnight, the golden light, the towering Divine Tree, the circulation of Formations, such celestial phenomena lay right on Taixu Mountain. Such bizarre events left the ancestors of the Tai’a and Chongxu branches somewhat uneasy. They knew without a second thought that Ancestor Xun certainly knew something but was unwilling to tell them. Elder Ouyang said, "How about this, Brother Xun, since you’re skilled in the Heavenly Mechanism Method, calculate the causality within so that we can be at ease." Seeing Elder Master Xun still wishing to evade, Chongxu Ancestor said sternly: "Brother Xun, now that our three branches are united, we should advance and retreat together. If you hide things from us, it will inevitably chill our hearts and harm the friendship of the three branches..." "No matter what, you have to give an explanation today..." These words were quite formal, using the unity of the three branches as a reason, making it hard to refuse. Murong Ancestor was also waiting for his response. The questioning from the three Heaven Void ancestors greatly increased the pressure. Elder Master Xun sighed slightly. The trouble of cleaning up for Mo Hua was indeed becoming more and more difficult. If he weren’t an ancestor of the Taixu Gate, he might not be able to handle it. Let alone, Mo Hua was just at Foundation Establishment. If one day he reached Golden Core or Feather Transformation, how much trouble could he cause, Elder Master Xun didn’t even dare to imagine. "Fine, let me calculate it." Elder Master Xun had no choice but to comply. He rearranged the compass, set up the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, then formed the hand formula, using a certain Qi mechanism to induce the self-alignment of the compass, letting causality flow. Elder Master Xun, furrowing his brow and with a serious expression, indeed looked as if he were "deducing", but his mind was contemplating what excuse to make. If it was just a simple phenomenon, it wouldn’t be so bad. But what he feared was the remote, if this phenomenon was truly the result of Mo Hua’s Divine Sense’s Core Formation, once others pursued it, it would implicate Mo Hua. Breaking through the Heavenly Dao’s limit at Foundation Establishment, if the matter of Divine Sense’s Core Formation is exposed, Mo Hua would be in great peril. He was just at Foundation Establishment, without the power to protect himself. "I have to find a reason..." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺 Elder Master Xun fiddled with the Heavenly Mechanism Compass, his mind turning, and suddenly his mind shifted, his hand trembled, and the Heavenly Mechanism Compass stopped. Elder Master Xun seemed to be enlightened, as if he had calculated something... "How is it?" Elder Ouyang couldn’t help but be a little tense. Elder Master Xun, half puzzled, half relieved, said: "According to the causality of the Heavenly Mechanism, this phenomenon is the ’auspicious omen’ of my Taixu Gate..." "Auspicious omen?" The three elders were momentarily stunned. Elder Master Xun nodded solemnly, affirming: "It’s the ’auspicious omen’ of my Taixu Gate." "How is it an auspicious omen?" "The golden light filling the sky, the Divine Tree blooming, isn’t that auspicious?" "This... is there any precedent in the sect records? Where exactly does this auspicious omen fall, on whom, on what, or what event?"
