Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

"Of course, you two can also choose to ignore it. As long as those astrologers don't suffer any misfortune, no one will blame you."

The Celestial Elder continued to explain that as members of the Earthly Immortal Alliance, the Star Envoys almost all possessed immortal lineages.

Their strength is beyond doubt; each of them is extremely powerful, and even the most senior sect leaders are no match for them.

Looking at the entire human race, there are actually not many strong individuals who can challenge them.

However, the myriad realms are vast, and apart from the human race, there are many powerful beings from other races.

There are countless powerful alien beings who can rival the Star Envoys.

Such as the Dao Clan, the Spirit Clan, the Immortal Clan, the Ancient Demon Clan, and so on.

The celestial envoys who suppressed those regions had to consider the whims of those alien races in everything they did.

Otherwise they will be expelled.

Many star envoys in dangerous areas, such as those guarding the underground demon race and the outer realms of the Heavenly Demon Winged Race, have been killed before.

Even more so, accidents occurred frequently, and the area was robbed multiple times.

Because those demons are notorious for their bloodlust, brutality, and chaos.

The duty of the Celestial Star is to identify those dangers that have not yet erupted, leaving a way out for the lives of the Star Messenger.

This is also why there are so few members of the Heavenly Fortune Star.

Because there are very few people who can do that.

After all, those who peek into the secrets of heaven are also divided into different levels.

For ordinary diviners, being able to glimpse their own destiny and foresee the crises of their later years is already quite remarkable.

Not to mention that if they wanted to peek into the calamities of a small world hundreds or even thousands of years from now, they would have to withstand the backlash of heavenly secrets and pass on the messages to the astrologers.
Those who can deduce the secrets of heaven to that extent are like gold in a pile of sand—extremely rare.

Despite being backed by the Earthly Immortal Alliance, Tianyun Star recruits a group of destined individuals every hundred years at the Immortal Destiny Conference to inherit the position of Star Envoy.

But after countless years, only a handful of people actually stay and remain for a certain period of time.

In any case, during the thousands of years that the Celestial Mystery Elder had been in charge of the Celestial Fortune Star, he had never encountered a single successor who was truly capable of inheriting the Celestial Fortune Star.
The seed that stayed on Tianyun Star the longest only served there for eight hundred years before being destroyed by a great calamity.
This shows just how difficult it is to find a successor to the Heavenly Fortune Star.

It is extremely difficult to find a successor who can both foresee future destinies and avoid being devoured by the secrets of heaven.

“So that’s how it is”

After the old man explained, Luo Yan instantly understood that it was really not easy to get a position on the Heavenly Fortune Star.

If such selection criteria are followed, probably none of the younger generation of disciples in his Five Elements Sect would meet the requirements.

It is no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for his previous enlightenment, which gave him a completely new understanding of the calamity energy, he would naturally not meet the requirements.

But right now, he doesn't really feel there are any difficulties.

The problem is, with so many troubles on Tianyun Star, why should Luo Yan waste his energy here?
Wouldn't it be better for him to just be a spectator, going through the motions without contributing?

Luo Yan didn't consider himself that noble for working for the Earthly Immortal Alliance and the Heavenly Fortune Star.

"Alright, I've told you everything I needed to tell you."

"The rest is up to you to choose."

The old man of the heavens pointed to the void in front of him, where the stars, as dazzling as shooting stars, were beautiful and dreamlike.

It's beautiful to the extreme.

In fact, since the Earth Immortal Alliance possesses the ancient secret technique of "Summoning Gods," their ability to traverse the various small worlds is nothing special.

With a single manifestation, one can travel to any place in the Three Thousand Minor Realms.

It can be said that in the blink of an eye, one can travel thousands of miles.

However, perceiving the calamities that will befall a world hundreds of years or even longer into the future is very difficult for many diviners.

This requires the chosen one to possess extremely high attainments in the art of destiny, to be able to glimpse the incomplete landscape countless years in the future, and to have an extraordinary destiny, capable of withstanding the backlash after the revelation of heavenly secrets.
Trying to do all of these things at the same time is really, really difficult.

Of course, the number of human cultivators is as vast as the clouds and mist, countless in number.

It's not that there aren't suitable talents within the human race; rather, those truly skilled at discerning the ways of destiny are almost entirely monopolized by the top powers, and their selection is extremely tightly guarded, making it nearly impossible for them to leave.

Even the Earth Immortal Alliance is no exception.

If it weren't for the permission of the White-browed Palace Master, Luo Yan wouldn't have been qualified to participate in the Immortal Destiny Conference, as was the case with the Heavenly Mystery Palace where Luo Yan resided.

Moreover, other factions do not have cultivation methods for creating a second spiritual body; they only have one Dao body.

If one exists within their own sect, they cannot join the Earth Immortal Alliance.

Faced with such a choice, the major powers would naturally guard their own sect's promising talents against the odds.

This applies to every faction.

After all, who would be so kind as to let a powerful figure who could suppress their sect's foundation go and join the Earth Immortal Alliance?
Especially those rare diviners who can deduce the secrets of the heavens!
"Senior Tianji, I have another question. Please enlighten me."

"When I joined the Earth Immortal Alliance, I heard a secret: only cultivators who have been granted the Immortal Dao Inheritance Method are qualified to inherit the position of Star Envoy."

"If a disciple cannot comprehend the mysteries of the immortal path, can he still glimpse the secret to becoming an immortal?"

Luo Yan whispered, "He has not been exposed to the immortal inheritance of Tianyun Star, so he is naturally not qualified to take charge of Tianyun Star."

But the secret to becoming an immortal is what he wants, so he has to find out about this beforehand.

Even though he had already made up his mind not to stay here any longer, he still had to ask the questions that were on his mind.

What if I suddenly change my mind and want to stay here for a long time?

Luo Yan didn't want to have wasted countless years and done so much for the Earth Immortal Alliance, only to be told in the end, "You are not the core of my Earth Immortal Alliance."

He was excluded with the simple statement that he was not qualified. Leng Zijin, who was standing to the side, looked on in astonishment upon hearing this.

A hundred years ago, he found it strange that other astrologers usually only had one successor, but their Heavenly Fortune Star had two.
Now the truth is out: this guy never actually received the Celestial Fortune Star's immortal techniques.

But does someone who hasn't received the Daoist teachings have the right to sit here on equal footing with me?

Leng Zijin's brows furrowed slightly as he pondered the true reason behind the situation.

Is this guy really that talented?
Even the old monsters of the Earthly Immortal Alliance would change the rules for this?
“Under normal circumstances, without becoming a Star Envoy, one cannot compete for the qualification to become an immortal within our alliance.”

"But many things, many pieces of information, cannot be learned without getting close to them."

"If you can pass the test of my Heavenly Fortune Star, I might be willing to give you a chance—a chance to grant you the news of your ascension to immortality after I have secured that position."

The Old Man of Heavenly Secrets stroked his beard and smiled. When it comes to the secrets of becoming an immortal, and the secrets of the immortal realm, who in the entire True Spirit Realm knows better than his Earthly Immortal Alliance?

This is a top secret of the Earth Immortal Alliance; only those who have reached that position can access it.

The saying goes, "A single sentence of true teaching is worth more than a hundred years of untrained cultivation," which illustrates this point.

Some information simply cannot be obtained without access to that circle.

From ancient times to the present, without exception!

"Does Senior Tianji mean that I need to exchange the duties of the rest of my life for an uncertain possibility?"

Luo Yan's expression was somewhat unpleasant. Even though he had long been filled with the idea of ​​going through the motions, he was still taken aback by these words.

If he changes his mind and decides to stay here, and the old man of the Heavenly Secrets fails in his power struggle, wouldn't he have to help the Earthly Immortal Alliance and do all that work for him for hundreds or thousands of years for nothing?
This is asking him to place a bet on the other side.
Luo Yan's eyes flickered, her thoughts wandering.

How many Star Envoys are there in the Earth Immortal Alliance?

A total of over three thousand six hundred!

There are at least several hundred, or even a thousand, Star Envoys who are qualified to compete for the title of Immortal!

Every tens of thousands of years, more than a thousand Mahayana-level ancient monsters fight each other for just two or three spots to become immortals.
Even if the old man in front of us is incredibly strong and has extraordinary talent, his chances of ultimately becoming an immortal are no more than 10%!
Less than half a percent!

After all, every cultivator who can reach the Mahayana realm is a peerless genius, one in a million.
He was asked to gamble on a chance that was so obvious and had such a slim probability.
This answer left Luo Yan speechless.

It wasn't that he lacked the gambling spirit or dared not place a bet; rather, the chances of his opponent winning the spot to become an immortal were simply too small.
At this moment, Luo Yan felt a headache coming on. The kind-looking old man who had been so kind and gentle now looked so repulsive.

"Senior Tianji really knows how to give his disciple some difficult problems!"

Luo Yan smiled wryly, wanting to test the senior's trump card and find out what made him think he could ultimately stand out.

But the old man's smile was almost a continuous wrinkle; his facial expression was completely blank, and you couldn't see the slightest problem.

"We are all cultivators who practice the path of destiny, and it has become a habit for us to peek into a corner of the long river of time."

So, what will you choose in this matter?

The Old Man of Heavenly Secrets smiled gently, for all the blessings in the world had already been priced according to fate.

If this young man in green robes cannot patrol the Three Thousand Ancient Realms on his behalf, why would he tell him the secrets of the Immortal Realm?
This is a perfectly fair trade: you work for me, and I provide you with information you don't have access to.
Luo Yan's expression was uncertain. To be honest, after he exchanged for that Time Token, his identity as a member of the Earth Immortal Alliance became irrelevant to him.

The gain is almost negligible.

Because the Earth Immortal Alliance can provide him with cultivation resources such as treasures, spiritual materials, and cultivation techniques, Luo Yan basically has no shortage of them.

But now, the old man of heavenly secrets tells him that he needs to use the profound power of destiny to glimpse a corner of the future and divine the calamities that those small worlds will face in the next few hundred years.
The calamity of divination is a minor matter; the real problem is whether Luo Yan can withstand the backlash from fate after revealing heavenly secrets.
After pondering for a long time, Luo Yan let out a heavy breath and then said in a deep voice, "Since Senior Tianji has such lofty aspirations, this disciple is naturally willing to give it a try!"

Since I'm doing this for free anyway, I might as well do it for a while.

At worst, I can just sneak away later.
Leng Zijin was not surprised to hear this answer.

Because of the many secrets about becoming an immortal, many stories circulated outside, some true and some false, and no one could guarantee that the one they heard was the truth.

Unlike the Earthly Immortal Alliance, this is an organization that has a genuine and close connection with the True Immortals of the Upper Realm.

If we look at the entire True Spirit Realm, which force can provide genuine information about attaining immortality? The answer from the world would be the Earth Immortal Alliance!
Leng Zijin was puzzled as to why the Heavenly Mystery Elder treated this guy with such special regard.
Don't underestimate this seemingly simple news about achieving immortality; for those Mahayana patriarchs who truly need it, it is an invaluable secret.

While it's true that certain conditions must be met to gain access to this qualification, obtaining the qualification itself is not something that ordinary people can access.

At the very least, it shouldn't be at this time, at this point in time, that everything is made clear so early.

Unless there is some other relationship between the two of them.
Leng Zijin's gaze fell on the old man and the young man, his eyes gleaming slightly, his thoughts a complex mix.
He was certain that this was not the first time the two had met, and that their relationship was not simple!
Otherwise, how could a powerful figure standing at the top of the True Spirit Realm allow a junior disciple to choose the conditions?
This is something that goes against common sense.

"No, no, no, my requirements for you go beyond that."

"If I leave this world in the future, you will be responsible for finding the successor of the Heavenly Fortune Star and ensuring that they hold this position."

The old man continued to make demands. These two juniors in front of him, despite Leng Zijin having obtained the immortal inheritance of Tianyun Star, were still being challenged.

But to be honest, he favored this young man in green robes who didn't want to get too entangled in karma.

Because of the duties of the Heavenly Fortune Star, the successor who inherits this immortal path is destined to have a bumpy fate and it will be difficult to continue it forever.

The fact that not a single descendant of the Heavenly Fortune Star has survived over thousands of years is the most obvious proof of this.

Ordinary people who try to predict the future are truly unable to withstand the backlash from fate and die prematurely on their journey.

Or perhaps they simply lack the ability to foresee the future of the Three Thousand Minor Realms.
Over the past few thousand years, the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets has encountered at least a hundred inheritors of the Heavenly Fortune Star, yet none of them have been able to escape these two categories.

Finding a successor to take his place is proving incredibly difficult for him.
There's no way to find the right person!

"If that's the case, then this disciple might not quite meet your requirements, senior."

Luo Yan politely declined, saying that he couldn't be a nanny.

The duties of the Heavenly Fortune Star are obviously a mess, both to those above and below.

He didn't want to jeopardize his future. (End of Chapter)
