Qianxizi readily chimed in, "My great-grandfather was wise!"

Qian Chongling's next words sent a chill down Qian Xizi's spine: "Four years ago, at the Chen family's banquet to mark their departure from seclusion, the so-called 'Northern Purple Star Emperor' statue that Chen Xiaojun summoned at the final moment of his battle against Dao Liu..."

Qian Zhongling's eyes sharpened. "I was there at the time and saw it with my own eyes. The colossus was enveloped in a very faint but extremely high-level 'divine charm'."

"Back then, I suspected that it wasn't some kind of phantom of a martial spirit skill at all, but rather a projection of the image of a real god!"

“And another thing!” he emphasized, “Starting last year, the new ‘Moon Festival’ ceremony they were holding in Chang’an suddenly included the worship of the ‘Big Dipper’ and the ‘Northern Purple Star Emperor’! This has further fueled my suspicions!”

Qian Chongling stood up, facing the roaring waterfall, her voice still clearly audible: "The Great Emperor of the North Pole Purple Star... the Grand Master of Fate... the Junior Master of Fate... Look at these names! These are at least three deities we've never heard of before, yet clearly of extremely high status! One controls the movement of the stars, the other two..."

He pointed to the sky, “'In charge of life and death'! Moreover, these two names are a pair. The girl’s life-giving vine spirit and the Chen family’s killing sword are very likely to be in charge of life and death respectively!”

"The movement of stars itself contains the ultimate truth of the birth and death of all things. This is not like a solitary god at all, but more like a... a group of gods that are interconnected and have a clear division of labor! A self-contained group, uh, let's call it the prototype of a 'pantheon'!"

…………

A brief silence spread amidst the sound of the cascading waterfall.

Qian Xizi frowned slightly: "If what we expect is true, this newly emerged deity may even be part of a pantheon. How should we deal with it?"

His noble-looking face paused slightly, and his gaze fell on his great-grandfather sitting in the rattan chair.

Qian Zhongling regained his composure: "When it comes to matters involving the gods, we must be cautious. These are all just our speculations. Once we have more concrete evidence, we will burn incense and pray, and report to our ancestors for a decision."

Yes, that's too high-end.

Qian Xizi nodded slightly, her golden hair fluttering in the breeze, a look of understanding on her face: "That's why you seemed to be so protective of the Chen family last time."

Qian Zhongling peeked at him with one eye, then casually smoothed the blond hair that fell across her forehead, her expression carrying a hint of "you're a smart kid."

Qian Xizi understood immediately, and adopted an even more respectful posture, bowing slightly as he asked, "Then, great-grandfather, in your opinion, what should we do now?"

Qian Zhongling simply sat up, tossed the book aside, glanced at Qian Xizi, and retorted directly, "Has the Chen family revealed their hand yet?"

Qianxizi shook her head: "No."

Qian Zhongling shrugged: "Isn't that settled? They're still hiding, sneaking around, there's not even a trace of a legitimate religious organization or missionary work."

"Why did we jump out so hastily? It makes us seem impatient."

"However, we should see what we need to see, listen to what we need to listen to, and even strike up a conversation if we have the chance. Just don't let people see that we care too much and lose face."

Qian Zhongling then asked, "Did you send anyone to test them last time?"

Qian Xizi replied, "Not yet. I'll have Lao She go to Tian Dou first to keep an eye on things and see what's going on."

Qian Zhongling nodded, tapping her fingers lightly on the armrest of the rattan chair: "Hmm, this is more stable. By the way, I heard that our palace has produced some promising talents in this year's Gao Ying Competition?" The topic changed naturally.

When the new generation was mentioned, Qian Xizi smiled slightly: "That's right, there are a few outstanding youngsters who are among the most promising in recent years. If they are properly nurtured, they will be of great use in the future and may even become the backbone of our new generation."

Qian Zhongling made the decision: "Then let Dali lead the team to Tiandou."

Qian Xizi smiled and nodded: "Dali has just been promoted to a title, it is indeed time for him to go out and show his face."

Qian Zhongling snorted and said, "Young people should go out and see the world. It's also a good opportunity to show off our Spirit Hall's reputation. Let Seventh Brother go with us to keep things in order. With him there, things will be more stable."

Upon hearing this, Qian Xizi's brows twitched almost imperceptibly: "However, Old She has already participated in the Heavenly Battle. If we send Dali and the Seventh Elder, even under the guise of protecting geniuses and observing the competition, wouldn't that be too many people?"

Qian Zhongling waved his hand, causing the rattan chair to creak: "The Spirit Hall sending a few people to observe the ceremony is none of the business of outsiders! Besides,"

Qian Zhongling stood up, walked to the edge of the pavilion, looked at the splashing water, and smiled slightly, revealing a deep meaning: "Since we've sent people, let's make this 'show' legitimate, and by the way... establish our authority."

Qianxizi hesitated slightly: "What do you mean?"

Qian Zhongling smiled calmly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes: "Our Spirit Hall sent three titled figures to Heaven Dou at once. The Soul Master world just thinks we are giving Heaven Dou's royal family enough face."

"Hehe, but we can't give this face away for nothing! Let Lao Qi and the others find some blind rats and burn them."

He ruffled his long hair at his temples. "This is what they call 'you do your thing, I'll do mine,' understand?"

His eyes were cold. "The Tian Dou Xue family has been causing us trouble all along. It's good to let that Ming Wang girl get angry."

Qian Xizi's eyes sharpened instantly, the slight worry on his face vanished, replaced by a clear understanding and a sharp edge: "Grandson understands!"

………………

Suddenly, an extremely subtle yet mysterious wave swept across the heavens and earth, like the shadow of a giant whale skimming beneath the surface of water, before vanishing in an instant.

After a dozen or so breaths, the silence was restored.

Qian Zhongling sat bolt upright, a rare look of annoyance appearing on his usually languid face: "Damn it, again? It's only been a month since the last time, hasn't it? The Chen family's bunch of lucky bastards..."

Qian Xizi's expression changed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in her gorgeous eyes: "Great-grandfather, do you mean... that super martial soul advancement fluctuation just now was from the Chen family?"

Qian Zhongling snorted irritably, rubbing his temples with his fingers in frustration: "The vast frost carries a sharp edge; it's either the Ice Palace, the Moon Palace, or those sword-practicing bastards from the Nine Heavens Sect."

"Tell me, how many families on this continent can wield both ice and swordsmanship simultaneously, and are qualified enough to have their names etched in the annals of heaven and earth? Even a fool could guess who they are!"

The old man's tone was firm yet tinged with a hint of sourness.

Qian Xizi's perception was not as sharp as the old man's; the effectiveness of perception was directly proportional to the medium (martial spirit) and cultivation level.

Qian Xizi pondered for a moment, his handsome face regaining some composure: "Well, the Ice Palace's Ice Sword and the Moon Palace's Moon Soul Sword, their super martial souls have already been upgraded, it's impossible for them to trigger the strange phenomena engraved in the heavens and earth again."

"Therefore, it can only be Lu Xueqi's Heavenly Jade Divine Sword from the Nine Heavens Sect, a branch of the Chen family!"
