Chapter 1127 Old Man Tianji
A servant in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion glanced at the manager who had vanished into nothingness.
When his gaze fell on Ye Chen, his expression was filled with apprehension.
While everyone was still in shock, the servant quietly slipped out.
"Feel sorry!"
"I've disturbed your enjoyment."
"However, I still advise everyone not to believe in anything that can reveal the secrets of heaven."
"The secrets of heaven are unpredictable; this is something all cultivators know."
"Not to mention us, even those high and mighty beings wouldn't dare to presume to talk about the Way of Heaven."
"Actually, I'm only proficient in some divination techniques. How easy is it to glimpse the secrets of heaven?"
"As for this person, it was not something I could have predicted that he would suffer divine retribution."
"But those who commit many unrighteous acts will surely perish!"
"He brought this on himself!"
Ye Chen clasped his hands slightly and explained to the surrounding cultivators.
Upon hearing Ye Chen's words and seeing him clasp his hands in a fist salute, the cultivators' expressions changed slightly, and a look of apprehension appeared on their faces.
Thinking of the lightning that had struck him earlier, his expression turned somewhat pale.
"Thank you, sir!"
"Thank you, sir!"
The figures hurriedly returned the greeting and quickly returned to their seats.
Ye Chen noticed that these people hadn't left, and a look of curiosity appeared on his face.
"Miss Chuchu, why don't these people leave? Why are they still staying in this restaurant?"
Ye Chen was somewhat puzzled, after all, he had now revealed the truth behind the so-called infallible strategies of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
"Young master, these people are just waiting to watch the show and enjoy the gossip."
"The one who attacked you just now was merely the manager of Tianji Tower."
“Young master, you have tarnished the reputation of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. If I’m not mistaken, these people are waiting for the Heavenly Mystery Elder to descend.”
"Perhaps they think that you, young master, are also able to glimpse the secrets of heaven, and want to see you compete with the old man of heavenly secrets."
"After all, no one would dare to wreck the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's territory like this!"
Tang Chuchu said softly.
"Oh!"
"is it?"
"I'm being honest, I didn't really intend to ruin the reputation of Tianjilou."
"I never expected things to develop to this point."
"But this Heavenly Mystery Pavilion isn't a good thing?"
"If that so-called Heavenly Secret Elder also seeks death, then we can deal with it and eliminate him."
"These people are definitely harboring malicious intentions."
"After all, these people who predict the secrets of heaven for others do not accept any benefits. They are very powerful and would never care about money in the eyes of mortals."
"And yet he has been deceiving people here all along, so he must have some unknown purpose."
"But we don't need to worry about it, we can just deal with whatever comes our way."
"If anyone still wants to court death, then let them do so."
As Ye Chen finished speaking, he turned to look at the servant in the distance.
"Waiter, are our food and drinks ready?"
Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, the waiter at Tianji Tower showed fear on his face. In his opinion, Ye Chen must be an extremely terrifying existence, otherwise he wouldn't dare to cause trouble at Tianji Tower.
At this moment, someone went to invite the Heavenly Mystery Elder, and he naturally dared not contradict Ye Chen. He immediately said respectfully, "Young Master, please wait a moment, I will go to the kitchen to urge them."
Soon, countless delicacies were served on the table.
The aroma that wafted towards us was incredibly appetizing.
"Not bad!"
"We've come to the right place today!"
Ye Chen ignored the stares and picked up his chopsticks to start eating.
Soon, an old man with white hair and beard appeared in the Heavenly Mystery Tower.
Dressed in plain white robes, he really did look like a reclusive hermit.
"May I ask your name, young master, and what brings you to my Tianji Tower today?"
The old man of the Heavenly Secrets looked at Ye Chen with some apprehension and asked tentatively.
"Greetings, sir. I have come to Tianji Tower today only to sample the dishes here; I have no other intentions."
"It's the old man who's a bit dishonest; I think it's inappropriate for him to be swindling people here."
Ye Chen glanced at the Heavenly Mystery Elder and said with a smile, "I have no ill intentions; this is just a well-intentioned suggestion."
However, Ye Chen's words were perceived as a provocation by the Heavenly Mystery Elder.
"May I ask how you are addressed, young master?"
"Why would you think that my giving guidance here is a scam?"
"I have not sought any treasures or money."
Even when offering guidance, it's only done if there's a connection.
"If that's what you're saying, young master, do you perhaps have some misunderstanding about my Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, or even some hostility towards it?"
The old man of the heavens spoke calmly and sat down opposite Ye Chen.
"Ha ha!"
"Old man, you jest. Didn't you say you could predict the secrets of heaven?"
"Then you should know very well, sir, where my hostility comes from today. Why do you need to ask me?"
"Old sir, aren't you contradicting yourself?"
"Old sir, you claim to be the Celestial Mystery Elder, capable of seeing through the secrets of heaven. Surely you can see through the intentions of a mere mortal like me, and whether I harbor any hostility!"
"Then how can we talk about seeing through the secrets of heaven?"
Ye Chen smiled and shook his head.
Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, the cultivators in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion couldn't help but turn their gazes to the Heavenly Mystery Elder.
At that moment, doubt arose in their hearts as well, for the Heavenly Mystery Elder was always omniscient and omnipotent.
Why would someone say something so foolish?
"To casually deduce the secrets of heaven will incur the backlash of the heavenly order."
"It's impossible for an old man to be calculating the secrets of heaven at all times and in all places."
The old man's explanation was flawless.
The cultivators who had been looking puzzled nodded in agreement after hearing the words of the Heavenly Mystery Elder. Indeed, in their view, as the Heavenly Mystery Elder said, if one were to constantly spy on the secrets of heaven, one would likely suffer a backlash from the heavenly Dao.
However, Ye Chen, who was sitting opposite the Heavenly Mystery Elder, smiled.
"Old sir, you truly are a reclusive master!"
"I never expected that knowing that casually predicting the secrets of heaven would lead to a backlash from the Heavenly Dao, yet you have always been able to glean heavenly secrets for other cultivators. I truly admire you."
"I wonder what kind of calamities the old gentleman has suffered these past few days?"
"I heard that the old gentleman appears in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion from time to time. Although I have just arrived at the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, I know from the few words he has spoken that he has been able to peek into the secrets of heaven for many people these days."
"But why do I find that you, sir, are not only radiant but also full of energy, without any trace of being harmed by the ways of Heaven?"
The old man Tianji's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, as he sensed that many people around him were staring at him.
The old man of the heavens hurriedly explained, "To be honest, young master, the reason I was able to avoid the backlash from the heavens is simply because I am proficient in some secret techniques that allow me to conceal the secrets of heaven."
"However, there are restrictions; it cannot be used arbitrarily."
"The old gentleman really is a good person!"
"I never expected him to be so carefree, even ignoring the backlash from the Heavenly Dao, yet still offering help and guidance to cultivators across the land."
"He truly is a great hero, dedicated to his country and its people."
"No, it is the Supreme Immortal who seeks blessings for all cultivators under heaven."
At this moment, Ye Chen's face was full of mockery.
Ye Chen had initially been somewhat kind to the so-called Old Man of Heavenly Secrets, intending to persuade him to turn back from the wrong path. However, he hadn't expected the man to be so secretive. Ye Chen was certain that the man was scheming and had ulterior motives.
At that moment, the old man's face turned extremely gloomy. He had heard Ye Chen's mockery clearly.
"It seems the old gentleman harbors some resentment towards me!"
“I really didn’t mean any harm, I was just advising you, sir, to pull back from the brink and turn back before it’s too late.”
“Old sir, you claim to have a way to conceal the backlash from the Heavenly Dao, but that’s not the case. I see your face is dark.”
"I fear that disaster will befall us soon."
Ye Chen glanced at the old man in front of him, then stopped paying attention and continued drinking and eating.
"you……"
However, when the old man Tianji heard Ye Chen's words, his expression turned extremely gloomy.
He was always the one who could peek into other people's fates; no one ever told his fortune.
In the eyes of the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets, Ye Chen had come to cause trouble today, and their plans were far more ambitious.
They absolutely could not let Ye Chen's appearance disrupt their plans, but now, Ye Chen's few words had challenged the status of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
The old man of the heavenly secrets was naturally furious.
"Old man, I advise you not to harbor resentment towards me, or to secretly use any underhanded means to target me."
"I still stand by what I said: those who do many unrighteous deeds will surely perish."
"I hope you won't bring disaster upon yourself, sir."
The old man Tianji was greatly shocked upon hearing this.
The way they looked at Ye Chen completely changed, becoming somewhat horrified.
He merely had a few thoughts in his mind about targeting Ye Chen, but before he could even speak, Ye Chen glanced at him and seemed to read his mind.
"Who are you?"
At that moment, the old man of the heavens was overwhelmed with shock and disbelief as he looked at Ye Chen.
"I am just a mortal!"
"The reason I say that is simply because I've read more books."
Ye Chen said calmly.
"Humph!"
"Stop talking nonsense here!"
"Since you are a mortal, what right do you, a mere mortal, have to presume to discuss the Way of Heaven?"
The old man of the heavenly secrets was instantly furious. He snorted coldly and strode away.
"Ugh."
"I hope I don't do something stupid!"
Seeing the departing figure of the Heavenly Mystery Elder, Li Yixi shook her head and sighed.
After leaving, the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets did not disappear immediately, but entered a secret room. After closing the secret room, the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets was extremely angry. In that instant, everything in the secret room turned into nothingness under the terrifying aura emanating from the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets.
"Damn, damn!"
"Who is this person? How dare he show up here and ruin my important plans?"
"Since you want to die, then today I will make you die."
"But I need to know who you are and where you come from?"
As the cold voice fell, the Heavenly Mystery Elder waved his hand, and a supreme treasure appeared before him, a treasure as clear as a mirror.
But within this mirror, it seems, lies a world, containing all living beings.
The treasure floated in front of the old man of heavenly secrets. The next moment, the old man of heavenly secrets bit his finger and dripped some blood onto the treasure in front of him.
The next moment, a strange force connected the old man with the treasure. The old man immediately sat cross-legged and began to deduce its contents.
If it were an ordinary person, the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets would have simply eliminated Ye Chen. However, the fall of the Earth Manager made the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets more cautious. He wanted to see who Ye Chen really was.
Moreover, the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets is preparing to deal with Ye Chen using even more bizarre methods.
