Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2040 Chapter 976: Auspicious Omen

"It is difficult to determine, for the secrets of heaven are vast and cannot be calculated in haste, yet it is undoubtedly a sign of good fortune," Elder Master Xun claimed with conviction.

"Hasn't everything you just said amounted to nothing at all?" the Linghu Ancestor noted.

With a sigh, Elder Master Xun lamented, "Such is the nature of the heavenly secret—vague and elusive. It is something you must perceive for yourself. If you grasp it, you understand; if you do not, no amount of explanation will make it clear to you."

"You really..."

The Tai'a Ancestor was left speechless.

The words of Elder Master Xun were frustratingly cryptic, sounding as if he had spoken much while revealing nothing.

It seemed as though nothing had been said, yet his words carried a certain weight of truth.

This was because the causality of the heavenly mechanism is indeed so profound and mysterious that it remains difficult to grasp; being able to derive even a sense of 'auspiciousness' was already a feat.

"Can such a blessing simply appear from nowhere?"

"It is not from nowhere..." Elder Master Xun’s expression turned serious.

Elder Ouyang hesitated, asking, "What is your explanation then?"

With a deep tone, Elder Master Xun spoke, "All of this is the result of causality. In the unseen realms, there is a karmic force driving the Unification of our Three Sects, allowing our lineages, which have been divided for thousands of years, to finally rejoin as one."

"This occurrence is no mere coincidence."

"And now, just as our three sects merge, an anomaly manifests at Taixu Mountain—night turns to day and golden trees bloom. Does this not clearly signal that the unification of our three sects is the correct path?"

"The day may come when we truly restore the ancient glory of the Sect, inheriting the will of the Qian Path to become the preeminent Great Sect within the Qian Learning State Boundary!"

Elder Master Xun spoke with fervor, painting a grand vision before them.

For a moment, the three listeners were visibly moved.

"So this is honestly... an omen of prosperity? A sign of the Taixu Gate’s resurgence among the three branches of our single sect?"

Elder Master Xun gave a firm nod. "Exactly so."

Elder Ouyang fell into a pensive silence.

Since the conversation had reached this point, it was difficult to press Elder Master Xun further.

Furthermore, considering the brilliant golden anomaly and its circulating laws, calling it a sign of good fortune did not seem like an exaggeration.

Elder Master Xun’s complexion appeared somewhat pale, as if the previous divinations had drained a significant amount of his Divine Sense. Appearing exhausted, he could not help but let out a sigh.

"Old age has finally caught up to me; my spirit is fading, and that calculation has taken its toll..."

Everyone present understood that Elder Master Xun was politely asking his guests to leave.

It would be improper for them to continue their interrogation.

After all, Elder Master Xun was truly advanced in years, and the act of deducing the heavenly secret genuinely placed a heavy burden on one's Divine Thought.

"Brother Xun, we thank you..."

"We shall not trouble you any further. Please take care of yourself."

Elder Ouyang and the others exchanged parting pleasantries before opening rifts in the void to depart one after another.

The Murong Ancestor, being the last to leave, looked back at Elder Master Xun. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Brother, is everything truly alright?"

With a cautious gaze, Elder Master Xun gave a slight nod. "Rest assured."

"Very well."

The Murong Ancestor nodded in return and vanished using the Void Escape Skill.

Once the rift in the void closed, a sudden tranquility returned to the residence.

Elder Master Xun let out a long breath. After a period of silence, he couldn't help but whisper to himself:

"A Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator with a Divine Sense at the Core Formation level... I wonder if these cosmic Divine Thought anomalies were truly caused by that boy..."

Elder Master Xun shook his head slowly.

"I originally believed that youth named Zhuang was already an incredible anomaly, but I never expected his disciple—who seemed so unremarkable—to quietly become someone so 'frightening'..."

"This specific sect lineage truly produces nothing but 'evil monsters'..."

"Furthermore, in terms of generational seniority, the child Mo Hua is the hidden treasure at the very bottom, the final 'evil monster' of them all..."

...

At the Tai'a Sect.

After their departure, Elder Ouyang and the Linghu Ancestor met once more.

"Auspiciousness... do you think he really saw that in his deduction?"

"Why do I get the feeling he was just making it up?"

"It is hard to say. We haven't studied the causality of the heavenly mechanism, so we have to take him at his word."

"Then what should we do?"

The Linghu Ancestor of the Rushing Void Sect sighed softly. "Let it be."

Elder Ouyang's brow furrowed. "We aren't going to investigate further?"

Shaking his head, the Linghu Ancestor replied, "The Tai’a Refining Spirit Sword, the Rushing Void Proliferating Sword Qi, and the Tai Xu Sword Intent... since ancient times, the omens of the heavenly secrets have always been monitored and interpreted by the Tai Xu lineage."

"Neither you nor I are specialists in the Dao of Divine Thought."

"If he claims it is auspicious, then we shall treat it as such."

"Besides, with the Three Sects Unification, we rise and fall together. If there is a benefit, we share it; if there is trouble, they cannot escape it either."

Elder Ouyang reflected for a moment before muttering, "I suppose that is the only way..."

The two ancestors lapsed into silence, lost in their own thoughts. After a while, Elder Ouyang spoke with a heavy voice:

"To be honest, Brother Linghu, I have been feeling quite restless lately. I have a sense that soon... something monumental is going to happen."

"The current climate is already chaotic. If another major event occurs, it will surely trigger a massive storm. At that time, I wonder if the sect will even be able to protect itself..."

The Linghu Ancestor also frowned deeply.

At their level of cultivation, they occasionally experienced premonitions that felt like 'knowing the mandate of heaven.'

He, too, had been plagued by similar dark forebodings.

This was why seeing the anomalies in the sky had triggered such intense anxiety.

Yet the true meaning of the phenomenon remained a mystery beyond their reach, and Elder Master Xun was keeping his mouth shut.

After a moment of contemplation, the Linghu Ancestor sighed in resignation. "We must take it one step at a time... let us hope this anomaly truly is a blessing..."

Elder Ouyang nodded, echoing the sentiment with a sigh. "Let’s hope so."

Even after much brooding, the two ancestors still could not fathom what kind of 'auspiciousness' was actually hidden within the Tai Xu Gate...
