Chapter 400: Discussion of Heavenly Mechanism
With Long Yi's death, the grand drama in Western State has come to an end.
At this moment, within an inconspicuous villa in the Eastern Sovereign Palace, four elderly men with an air of immortality sat sipping tea. In their midst was an ancient double-sided bronze mirror.
A person stood tall in the gazebo, leaning at an angle of more than thirty degrees. The four old men watched as the last image in the bronze mirror disappeared.
The final image was none other than Long Yan falling into a coma.
These four old men were dressed in a style consistent with the painting, and one of them was none other than Miao Shan Perfected Being, who had traveled far and wide.
This was the secluded villa of the main pavilion of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion in Western State, located within the Eastern Sovereign Palace's domain. It was also a gathering point for the Celestial Melody Pavilion, which was not open to the public.
These four old men were the sub-pavilion masters stationed in various locations in Western State for the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
Miao Shan was stationed at the Coiling Dragon River, Miao Yuan at the Myriad Spirits Cave, Miao Xin at the Gold Spirit City, and Miao Ling at the Eastern Sovereign Palace.
Each of the seven major forces in Western State had one stationed, but the Snow Mountain God Temple and the Ice Origin Sect did not welcome the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, so no sub-pavilions were established there.
Now that the four sub-pavilion masters were meeting, it was naturally for the sake of this grand drama in Western State.
"Our ancestor left a prophecy a thousand years ago, stating that Western State would be the land of the rising dragon and the source of calamity," Miao Ling sighed.
"I thought Long Yi was the source of calamity, but I didn't expect him to meet such an abrupt end," Miao Ling sighed.
In fact, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion had long been aware of this calamity today.
The rule of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was to know the past but not the future.
However, who could resist the temptation of spoilers?
But every time they peeked into the future, the price paid was enormous.
After the ancestor left the prophecy a thousand years ago, he died not long after. He was a Celestial Human cultivator and couldn't bear such backlash.
Knowing that the calamity originated in Western State, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion did not make any targeted arrangements because the future was uncertain. Once you have the intention to do something against the future, the future will change.
Fate itself is an unclear trajectory, and attempting to intervene is a path to death.
However, this does not prevent everyone from watching the show.
With Long Yi's departure, some things may have become clear.
What they were discussing now was the dragon of this land of the rising dragon.
The source of calamity could be Long Yi, but it could also be someone else. After all, Long Yi's calamity did not extend to the Central Continent; it was extinguished here in Western State.
"It's hard to say who the source of calamity is, and we shouldn't dwell on it. It's easy to develop delusions. Let's just guess who this rising dragon of the land is."
"Residing in White Tiger Temple, Miao Xin proposed.
For those who are mere spectators, when they cannot intervene, they can only play guessing games with their fellow disciples.
"Let me start," Miao Xin said, "I think this dragon is Jin Ling'er from White Tiger Temple.
She has an extraordinary background and profound cultivation. In this great battle, she has turned the tide and can be considered the deserving protagonist.
Furthermore, she even swallowed the dragon horn, which will probably give birth to the power of a dragon. Therefore, I believe that the rising dragon must be none other than Jin Ling'er."
Miao Xin's analysis was very accurate, and he clearly favored Jin Ling'er.
However, Miao Ling had a different opinion and said, "I think it's possible that it's Long Yan. Heaven bestows great responsibilities upon those it chooses, and they must first endure hardships.
Jin Ling'er has had a smooth life and hasn't experienced many hardships, so she can't be considered extraordinary. On the other hand, Long Yan has gone through drastic changes and even killed the ancestor who brought chaos to Western State, resolving past karma.
In my opinion, she will definitely be extraordinary in the future."
This unfortunate person, Long Yan, has also entered the world of the old men. In their eyes, she has clearly transformed in this event, just like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon.
She was once trapped in a cocoon, but with her own hands killing Long Yi, her cocoon has been broken.
Although her cultivation is still low, her future is promising.
Moreover, her surname is Long!"
"If that's the case, I think the girl who obtained the Dragon Pearl is not bad either!"
The person stationed in Myriad Spirits Cave made a sarcastic comment. Chen Runyu, at such a young age, gained the recognition of the Dragon Pearl and has experienced many stories. Although she didn't appear in this battle, who said the protagonist must always appear?
"The dragon in the land of dragon revival should be a metaphor and doesn't necessarily have to be someone with the surname Long or possess the power of a dragon."
Miao Shan had a different perspective. He knew that a few of his fellow disciples were joking, so his comments were just casual remarks.
However, Miao Shan said with a serious expression, "I suspect that this true dragon is Wenren Li."
"Why do you say that?"
The other three looked at Miao Shan strangely. We were just joking, are you taking it seriously?
"Among the three you mentioned, their rise and power all come from their own efforts, but only Wenren Li has a feeling of being favored by the heavens."
Miao Shan was the one who knew the most about Wenren Li's life. Of course, when he said this, he didn't use any divination techniques.
He risked his life to investigate this person who seemed to be the protagonist of the chaotic world. His words were based on reasoning from some intelligence, without any involvement of mystical powers.
"Wenren Li was attacked by evil spirits when she was young, but she had a constitution that restrained them and luckily survived.
Let's not discuss how she grew up during those decades. After being exiled to Western State, she was truly favored by fate.
At that time, her cultivation was not high, but the people from the Wenren Family came looking for her and coincidentally found Long Yi."
"This cannot be considered as the favor of fate; it should be her deliberate planning. This Zhang Chi is truly a genius."
Miao Xin interrupted Miao Shan's words, as they were both well aware of the past events.
When Miao Shan initially guided Wenren Tingyu to the Dragon Transformation Palace, she also had some credit for Wenren Tingyu's death.
But Miao Shan didn't do anything wrong.
She had warned Wenren Tingyu not to go, as it would result in death.
But Wenren Tingyu insisted on going, so what could be done?
Miao Shan couldn't reveal too many secrets, so she could only respect the fate of others.
Miao Xin sighed and understood Zhang Chi's intelligence. Among the four old men here, none of them did not admire Zhang Chi.
"To deduce that Long Yi might be a ghost based solely on the contaminated dragon scales is indeed sensitive."
The people from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion are clever because they can see many past events and possess a lot of information.
However, Zhang Chi has very few clues in his hands, yet he can make accurate deductions, which is truly remarkable.
"This time, it was indeed a coincidence that Wenren Li stumbled upon it, but what about afterwards?"
At that time, they were not sure of Long Yi's identity and just wanted to take advantage of the situation. As a result, Wenren Tingyu disappeared silently, which successfully resolved a big trouble for Wenren Li.
And just as a new pursuer was about to arrive, Wenren Li had not yet reached a breakthrough in his cultivation.
As a result, Ao Yue of the Sea Monster Race died.
Just as they were about to resume navigation, Ao Long went missing.
After a period of suspension, when they finally found Ao Long and wanted to peacefully resolve the dispute, Dongfang Changqing disappeared.
The battle began, and the navigation route naturally could not be opened.
"Once might be a coincidence, but so many times, it doesn't seem like a coincidence."
These are all deductions based on objective facts, and Miao Shan is not afraid of any backlash. Since he didn't interfere with the heavenly mechanism, he is not afraid of any repercussions.
"It can be foreseen that the battle between the Sea Monster Race and the Human Race will not continue, and the navigation route will open again.
But Wenren Li already has enough strength to protect himself, so when people from the Wenren Family come, they will have no way out.
Are all these just coincidences?"
The three old men remained silent.
Miao Shan successfully pretended to be knowledgeable, and their hearts began to waver, thinking that Wenren Li should be the true Dragon Rising Dragon.
Then Miao Yuan interrupted, "It's strange that all these powerful people are women. Is it possible that Zhang Chi is the Dragon Rising Dragon? After all, which of the four people we mentioned earlier is not Zhang Chi's confidante?"
Miao Yuan's words changed the tone of the conversation. It started as a serious discussion about who the Dragon Rising Dragon might be, but now it turned into gossip.
However, Zhang Chi is indeed powerful, but his connection with the Demon Race cannot be whitewashed. He cannot become the Dragon Rising Dragon.
But could he be the source of calamity?
Everyone looked at each other and thought of this possibility, suddenly falling silent.
This topic was not suitable for discussion.
The four masters, who were experts in deduction, also completely believed in the calculations of "Zhen Shan" the master.
He was truly amazing!
"Alright, let's not discuss this anymore. You can each go and form good relationships with the people you choose, but be mindful of boundaries."
Miao Ling spoke up. Although he was also an elder, he was the leader here and had the most authority.
His words indicated that the meeting was over, and the others understood and bid farewell to Miao Ling.
As they left, each person had their own target in mind.
Although they all believed in Miao Shan's reasoning, they still chose to form relationships with the people they favored.
Long Yi's story had come to an end, but the stories of others continued.
And on this day, a girl wearing a white veil and holding a jade flute arrived in Snowstorm City...
