Chapter 482: Chapter 435: Life Decree Golden Scroll_2

Lu Qian’s heart was startled, his body tensed, and a five-colored light had already surrounded and protected him. Master Cangfeng took a step forward and whispered, "Don’t be agitated, this is Master Kan Yuan’s divine technique, True Words of Prophecy!"

But his gaze was also fixed on Kan Yuan. True Words of Prophecy consumes significant energy, why did he suddenly activate it and use it on Lu Qian?

Ye Xiao was also filled with uncertainty and suspicion, her divine sense fully opened, hoping to perceive something.

The attendant cultivators behind Kan Yuan watched their master with worried expressions, constantly observing his movements.

After a moment, the green light above Kan Yuan’s head suddenly gathered, the symbols and sounds merged with the green light, streaming into the crown of his head, the Hundred Meetings.

Kan Yuan’s eyes shone even brighter, his chest suddenly rose, and he heavily exhaled a cloud of mist from his mouth and nose.

This mist paused in the air, vaguely forming a row of archaic characters. As the crowd strained to see clearly, Kan Yuan already stretched out a hand, and these characters were absorbed onto a Golden Core Paper, transforming into a row of writing.

Having done all this, Kan Yuan’s face turned pale, he panted heavily. In just these few moments, the wrinkles on his face deepened, and he had more white hair. His attendant cultivators were deeply worried and quickly supported him.

Kan Yuan raised the Golden Core Paper, carefully examining it several times before folding it up with a wave of his hand.

The Golden Core Paper turned into a streak of light and flew toward Lu Qian!

Lu Qian hesitated for a moment, somewhat reluctantly accepting the Golden Core Paper.

"Master Kan Yuan, I wonder what this is..."

Kan Yuan looked at Lu Qian closely, before suddenly bursting into laughter: "Wonderful! Wonderful!"

"I originally thought the opportunity indicated by the hexagram referred to the discovery of the Ancient Array here. But when my mind was blessed, and the divine technique activated spontaneously, I realized that this opportunity was actually brought here by Sect Leader Lu!"

"The hexagram indicated for me to come here today, and it turns out it was for Sect Leader Lu! How mysterious is the celestial mandate!"

"Sect Leader Lu, this true word directs your future destiny. You should only unseal and view it after the array breaking, and at the time of decision-making. Remember this well!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qian instinctively gripped the letter tightly.

Normally, I might disdain such mystical talk and the supposed destiny. Moreover, what does "time of decision-making" even mean? It’s too vague.

But the person in front is renowned for his mastery of prophecy and divination. Coupled with Master Cangfeng’s solemn demeanor, it was clear this divine technique was genuine, and his spontaneous usage now to offer a prophecy seemed genuinely significant.

Thinking of this, Lu Qian bowed once more: "A life-decree such as this surely comes with a heavy price. I, having neither talent nor virtue, can’t fathom what I’ve done to deserve your assistance. In gaining this prophecy, I wonder what I must give in exchange?"

Kan Yuan looked at him deeply, unexpectedly turned away, and ascended into the sky with his attendant cultivators.

"Every peck and every sip are predetermined by heaven. When you utilize this prophecy in the future, you will naturally understand what repayment is expected of you."

"I came precisely for you, hence the spontaneous divine technique. Having completed my mission, it’s time for me to return."

"Fellow Daoist Li, Fairy Ye, we shall part ways here and meet again someday."

As soon as the words left his mouth, they turned into escape light, flashed into the firmament, and flew towards Xinghu County.

He didn’t even take another look at the Ancient Array!

Lu Qian stared blankly, feeling as if the golden scroll in his hand weighed a thousand tons.

After pondering for a moment, he still decided to consult Master Cangfeng. Just then, Master Cangfeng said solemnly, "This matter is no small triviality. You might not know, Kan Yuan’s divine technique cannot be activated casually. Each activation costs a lifespan of one cycle!"

Lu Qian was startled. A cycle, twelve years!

A Golden Core Cultivator, barring illness or disaster, can enjoy a lifespan of eight hundred years. But upon reaching the Golden Core, even with the talent of Dual Spiritual Roots, over a hundred years have passed, leaving less than seven hundred years.

Even if entirely devoted to invoking "True Words of Prophecy," it would only amount to just over fifty uses!

Kan Yuan is already aged and has suffered severe injuries. It’s uncertain how many times he’s used "True Words of Prophecy" before, and now, with his remaining lifespan, it’s likely less than two hundred years.

This twelve years is so precious, certainly not something to be squandered.

He spent twelve years of lifespan to leave a prophecy for me; what does this prophecy say, and what will I gain from it?

Master Cangfeng patted Lu Qian’s arm: "Since Kan Yuan left a prophecy for you, you best follow his instructions, wait for the right time, then unseal and view it."

Lu Qian nodded, carefully tucking the Golden Core Paper into his arms, striving to calm his mind.

Then let’s give it our all and first decipher this Ancient Array.

Ye Xiao studied Lu Qian, but couldn’t discern anything particular. Soon, they would have to rely on Lu Qian’s power to break the array, so she kept her curiosity to herself.

"It’s good that Kan Yuan left, otherwise he’d inexplicably take a share." She took the lead, leading the group forward, "Once the Ancient Array is deciphered, and if there are any treasures inside, we should agree on how to divide them beforehand."

While speaking, the group had already entered the base of the hill, into a pitch-black cave.

This Ancient Array is actually hidden within the cave.

"Fairy Ye, rest assured, since you’re the host, you’ll receive sixty percent. I’m here to assist, and deservedly earn thirty percent. As Lu Qian is responsible for breaking the array, he’ll receive ten percent. If physical items cannot be divided, then convert them into Spirit Stones for redemption."
