I Have an Omen System-Chapter 84 - 82: Purple Mansion Fate Star

Far away, against the sky.

Qin Xuan was in a tavern, gazing into the distance. He saw an old man with a full head of white hair and a white beard, holding a Duster, and dressed in a Golden Robe. He looked just like an Elder Immortal.

He flew out from a simple yet majestic Daoist temple on a distant mountaintop, standing between heaven and earth.

"The Elder Immortal from the Taiyi True View is about to ascend!"

In an instant, all the mortals in Yong’an County fell to their knees. Some of the more ignorant ones even started shouting.

"We respectfully send off the Elder Immortal!"

Their cheers, like mountains toppling and tsunamis crashing, resounded through the heavens.

Xuanzhen Ascendant nodded slightly and gave a faint smile, actually responding to them.

At this, the mortals of Yong’an County grew even more fervent, wishing they could follow Xuanzhen Ascendant and ascend with him.

’No wonder Old Xuanzhen dares to indulge his demonic nature. It turns out the mortals here are mostly ignorant fools.’

Watching the mortals cheering like a tidal wave, prostrated on the ground and refusing to rise, Wei Qingyi couldn’t help but shake his head.

’Having low strength is one thing.’

’But to be treated as kindling by Old Xuanzhen and remain utterly oblivious, still worshipping him like a god—that was something Wei Qingyi couldn’t help but despise.’

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled all around as a fierce wind howled.

Yet Xuanzhen Ascendant was surrounded by a righteous and noble aura. Dressed in an Eight Trigrams Daoist Robe, he was like a bright lamp illuminating the darkness, his bearing transcendent and otherworldly. He truly had the air of an Immortal Family.

He showed no fear, lightly raising the Duster in his hand and looking up at the sky.

"I walk the Great Dao, my heart is righteous and my qi is harmonious. Why should I fear a heavenly tribulation!"

As his voice fell, he waved the Duster in his hand.

A golden screen of light instantly unfurled, transforming into the phantom image of a mansion to block the world-destroying lightning.

Each bolt of lightning that fell was accompanied by a heart-shaking roar, yet the golden screen of light remained tough and unbreakable.

It was different from the Foundation Establishment Thunder Tribulation he had felt back at the Blood Demon Sword Sect. He didn’t know if it was because this was a Righteous Dao cultivator Crossing the Tribulation.

Qin Xuan only felt that the space between heaven and earth was filled with a righteous and noble aura.

As a Demon Cultivator, it made him feel an inexplicable sense of discomfort and repulsion.

Wei Qingyi waved his sleeve, and a strange mist spread out. Only then did Qin Xuan feel much better.

"What a shameless old man. He hasn’t even lit a Life Star, yet he’s forcibly opening a low-grade Void Mansion and still making such a big fuss.

"In my opinion, his chances of success are thirty percent at most."

Wei Qingyi commented noncommittally.

Qin Xuan asked curiously, "Senior Brother Wei, what is a Void Mansion?"

Wei Qingyi explained, "A Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator opening a Purple Mansion is just like a Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer cultivator forging a Dao Foundation."

"Foundation Establishment has Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment, Earth Dao Foundation Establishment, and Human Dao Foundation Establishment."

"The Purple Mansion is the same; it also has the distinctions of Void Mansion, Solid Mansion, and Star Mansion."

"The method to determine if a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator is opening a Void Mansion is simple. You just have to see if he’s Guiding a Fate Star."

"If they can perform Guiding Fate Star, it’s a Star Mansion. If the mansion is solidified and has a Dragon and Tiger Pill Furnace Dharma Aspect, it’s a Solid Mansion. If it doesn’t even have a Pill Furnace and is just ethereal and illusory, then it’s a Void Mansion,"

Wei Qingyi said.

Like Xuanzhen Ascendant right now, the Purple Mansion space he was opening was small and unstable, its borders as blurry as mist. That was a Void Mansion.

Without some heaven-defying opportunity, the hope of condensing a Golden Core is slim. Even if he does manage Core Formation, it would most likely be a Low Grade Golden Core.

Qin Xuan asked again, curious, "Senior Brother, what is a Life Star?"

"A Life Star? A Life Star is the most brilliant star in a Star Mansion. You know, the stars in the sky... it’s like..."

The more he tried to explain, the more obvious it became that Wei Qingyi’s knowledge was insufficient.

He had never opened a Purple Mansion himself, so how could he explain it clearly? He wracked his brain for a long time but couldn’t figure out how to phrase it. He couldn’t help but blush and start to stammer.

But seeing Qin Xuan’s inquisitive gaze, he was too embarrassed to admit he didn’t know. He grew angry from the shame, glared, and smacked Qin Xuan on the back of the head.

"Aiya, what are you asking so many questions for... Come on, let’s sneak in first and then find a chance to kill this old coot." Wei Qingyi’s eyes darted away as he changed the subject.

"???"

Qin Xuan rubbed the back of his head. Looking at his palm, which had turned black and blue, he let out a long, speechless sigh.

’Senior Brother Wei, if you don’t know, just say you don’t know. It’s not like I’d laugh at you.’

’What kind of poison did you just hit me with now!’

...

Fortunately, the poison Wei Qingyi used was just for show. Qin Xuan circulated his Demonic Essence slightly, and the poisonous gas dissipated like smoke.

However, Qin Xuan was sensible enough not to ask any more questions about the Purple Mansion.

Wei Qingyi led Qin Xuan, and they quietly crossed into the Taiyi True View’s territory.

What shocked Qin Xuan was that Wei Qingyi’s concealment Divine Techniques were even stronger than he had imagined.

Even the Taiyi True View’s Sect Protection Array hadn’t detected them.

Wei Qingyi laughed. "No matter how strong the Taiyi True View is, it’s just a Foundation Establishment sect. How can it compare to the profundity of our Holy Sect?

"To put it bluntly, in my eyes, this so-called Sect Protection Array is full of holes."

Qin Xuan couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up. "Senior Brother Wei, you’re amazing."

"Let’s not talk about that. Come on, let’s conceal our auras and sneak in with those Qi Cultivation ants to take a look. It seems they’re gathered over there to provide Spiritual Qi for the array."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With Old Xuanzhen busy opening his Purple Mansion, he definitely won’t have time to pay attention to what’s happening below."

"You and I are both at the Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment. Inside the Taiyi True View, everyone besides Old Xuanzhen is an ant. Against these ants, we might be able to end this in one decisive blow."

Wei Qingyi was eager to try.

Qin Xuan deeply agreed.

The two Demon Cultivators actually managed to brazenly sneak into the Taiyi True View’s mountain gates.

The scale of the Taiyi True View was more than a hundred times smaller than the Blood Demon Sword Sect.

The entire Sect had only three lonely mountain peaks, representing the three Foundation Establishment Ascendants within the Sect.

There were quite a few Qi Cultivation Cultivators, and including some handymen with Five Spirit Roots, their numbers were close to ten thousand. As for the small Qi Cultivation Clans outside the mountain gates that relied on the sect, their numbers were even greater.

As numerous as the hairs on an ox.

’This ratio of cultivators is far more ridiculous than in the Holy Sect!’

The Taiyi True View was like a small pyramid. The three Foundation Establishment Ascendants at the very top were like vampires, excessively seizing Cultivation Resources from the affiliated Qi Cultivation Clan Cultivators and the disciples within their sect.

And the disciples within the sect didn’t dare to breathe a word of complaint.

After all, most of them had a small Qi Cultivation Clan backing them.

One must understand, they carried the hopes of their entire clans.

Only the one with the most outstanding talent and Spirit Root in the clan would even have the chance to be selected to cultivate in the Taiyi True View.

’Sigh, looking at it this way, our Holy Sect’s method of promotion is much more simple and honest. It’s truly just literal bloodsucking.’

’The Righteous Dao is a much harder path.’

’Its followers are worked like cattle and horses by their superiors, suffering endless torment. It’s nowhere near as liberating as being in the Holy Sect.’

...

Before the mountain gates of the Taiyi True View, two middle-aged Foundation Establishment Cultivators stood at the very front, their hands constantly forming and changing seals.

"All disciples, Array Formation—assist the Ancestor in Crossing the Tribulation!"

A sharp cry that could pierce gold and shatter stone exploded across the plaza.

"We obey the decree!"

Following the command, the nine hundred and twelve Qi Cultivation Stage disciples of the Taiyi True View, who had long been waiting in formation—regardless of whether they were from the Inner Sect or Outer Sect, regardless of their Cultivation level—all bit the tips of their tongues.

A mouthful of Life Essence Blood, saturated with their own Essence, Qi, and Spirit and mixed with all the Spiritual Power in their bodies, was sprayed unreservedly onto the Array Flags in their hands, which were inscribed with profound Star Patterns.

BUZZ—!

Over nine hundred crimson spiritual lights shot into the sky.

In that instant, a blinding, blood-gold light erupted from the mountain gate plaza, pouring entirely into the body of Xuanzhen Ascendant in the sky.

"Haha, good!"

Xuanzhen Ascendant’s silver beard fluttered as he laughed heartily, a sharp glint flickering in his eyes.

He was as steady as a mountain as the golden screen of light unfolded.

Aided by the power of every disciple in the entire Sect, his stooped, aged figure actually grew straighter and taller amidst the baptism of the rumbling Thunder Tribulation.

There were even faint signs of his white hair turning black, a phenomenon of returning to youth.

Even the phantom of the Purple Mansion he was opening grew more solid.

But at this very moment, a bolt of cyan lightning suddenly descended!

BOOM—!

Xuanzhen Ascendant’s face paled, and he suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood. The phantom of his Purple Mansion, which had just started to solidify, began to turn illusory again.

It looked as if it was about to dissipate like a cloud of mist.

Wei Qingyi shook his head. "He can’t even withstand the weakest Cyan Gang Thunder. How did Old Xuanzhen dare to even attempt opening a Purple Mansion?"

That wasn’t even the worst part.

The worst part was for the Qi Cultivation Disciples below, whose lives were linked to Xuanzhen Ascendant.

PUFF!

Dozens of Qi Cultivation Disciples with shallow foundations looked as if they had been struck by a heavy blow. They all spurted blood, their faces turning ashen-white as they teetered on the verge of collapse.

Seeing this, the middle-aged Daoist at the head of the formation’s expression changed, but he showed no concern for the lives of those Qi Cultivation Disciples.

"Hold on! If the Ancestor successfully opens his Purple Mansion today, even if you die, it will be a blessing for all of Yong’an County."

"All disciples, hear my command! Link with those in front of and behind you to transfer power, and lend the Ancestor another hand!"

"We obey!"

The crowd of Qi Cultivation Disciples roared, bloody foam spilling from the corners of their mouths.

Another ray of blood-gold light shot up, pouring into the body of Xuanzhen Ascendant in the sky.

Xuanzhen Ascendant’s spirits were lifted, and he surged with power once again.
