Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

The fact that Cheng Xiao returned to the immortal ship was ultimately no secret.

However, Xianzhou did not make it public; only a small group of people at the top knew the specifics.

However, this does not mean that no one else knows about the Immortal Boat. Although five hundred years have passed, there are still quite a few old people who recognize Cheng Xiao.

There are too many things to deal with after returning from Chengxiao.

While navigating the five celestial vessels in the clouds, he also needed to visit other immortal ships to catch up with acquaintances.

And today I took some time to come to the Jade Palace.

General Fuguang of the Jade Palace also started to complain about wanting to retire like Teng Xiao. If he continued to be entangled in worldly affairs every day, he would really fall into demonic ways.

The Heavenly Diviner was already used to this, but could he please give Yu Que some face in front of Cheng Xiao?

Cheng Xiao laughed:

"Indeed, a new generation replaces the old. General Fuguang has served for so long, it is time for him to take a break."

Jing Tian shook his head:

"It's not that simple. Do you think anyone can inherit the position as naturally as Teng Xiaojingyuan? The position of general was bestowed by the Emperor himself. The awe-inspiring power that represents the hunting force cannot be inherited casually."

"Teng Xiao was lucky. Jing Yuan was able to gain Wei Ling's approval without any test, which was already amazing. Otherwise, Teng Xiao wouldn't have retired so easily."

Fuguang began to protest, the old general showing no sign of authority whatsoever.

Jing Tian coldly said:

"Fight me to death!"

However, Cheng Xiaoqing can retire normally.

Because the best candidate to be a general was Jingtian's eldest disciple, Yaoguang.

After exchanging pleasantries, Jing Tian said with joy:

"Cheng Xiao, you've come at just the right time. I, the diviner, will soon take on another disciple to give my unruly apprentice some more work."

"Really? Then I'll have to get involved."

Then Cheng Xiao saw Yao Guang again.

This girl had grown tall and extraordinary, dressed in a green robe with peacock feathers, and her pretty eyes were full of charm.

She has matured a lot, but the playful look hidden in her eyes shows that her fun-loving nature has not changed.

"Mr. Cheng Xiao, it's been a long time. Your return is truly auspicious, like the sun shining brightly in the sky."

Jingtian tapped her on the head.

"Stop being so cheeky. You're never around. Now that you have a junior sister, you need to take responsibility as an older sister and take good care of her, understand?"

"Alright, alright~ Master is right. As the senior sister, how could I bully my adorable junior sister~"

"You better watch out, or you'll regret it!"

Jingtian had already divined the choice of his disciple.

His second apprentice will come from the Fu family.

The Fu family, being a family of stargazers, was overjoyed upon learning of this.

This is a diviner accepting a disciple; the child's future achievements are limitless! He'll at least become a diviner himself!

That's the position of one of the Six Ministers!

So all the newborns under the age of ten in the Fu family were brought out for Jingtian to choose from one by one.

Cheng Xiao watched from the side, and his eyes immediately fell on the pink-haired girl among the children.

Fu Xuan, she must be Fu Xuan.

As expected, Jing Tian also walked directly towards Fu Xuan.

"The divination results are three out and four in, obscure and difficult to understand, only revealing a mystery. Child, what is your name?"

The pink-haired girl was very well-behaved and spoke in a very serious manner:

"Grandpa Taibu, my name is Fu Xuan."

"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! What a brilliant Fu Xuan!"

Jingtian looked at the girl, who was about five years old, and tears welled up in his eyes.

This kid looks like a well-behaved and easy-going child. At least he's not a demon pill anymore. If another demon pill disciple came along, it would really shorten his lifespan.

"So you're my second apprentice! Come here, let me test your fortune again."

"Thank you, Grandpa Taibu."

"From now on, you must call me Master."

Fu Xuan was very obedient and quickly changed his address to Master.

Jing Tian was in a great mood and happily calculated Fu Xuan's fate.

As a result, all three Yin elements are damaged, the Five Elements lack water, and the metal element is full, making it too strong and prone to breakage!

This is the complete opposite of Jingtian; there is an innate restraint between them.

Undeterred by superstition, they decided to test again!

The result was even more horrifying: the cave platform was leaking, and the evil metal was leaking water, completely contrary to the destiny of Jingtian's three thousand waters.

Moreover, Fu Xuan's fate is stronger than his; he will likely perish at the hands of his disciple in the future.

But the two's master-disciple fate lines intersected clearly and were extremely harmonious, so they should have had a harmonious master-disciple relationship. Why did he die at the hands of the girl in front of him?

The most painful part for the diviner is that even though they know the outcome, they cannot know the process, and no matter what they do, the cause and effect cannot be changed.

Yao Guang noticed that Jing Tian's expression was off and wanted to go up and ask him, but Jing Tian immediately put on a hearty smile.

"Fu Xuan, you are now my disciple. You will have great fortune from now on, but you must learn to be flexible in dealing with situations."

And so, Jingtian's apprenticeship program came to an end.

When Yao Guang inquired about it afterward, Tian frankly revealed the results of his divination.

Yao Guang was somewhat worried, as the divination results were basically predetermined, and changing them would be as difficult as climbing to heaven.

Everything in the world has its own laws, but things change and stars shift, and planning is up to people.

Since his master had chosen to face his own destiny, Yao Guang said nothing.

But... Yao Guang still wanted to change things; the thing she believed in least was fate!

Fu Xuan, one of the people involved in this situation, was completely unaware of the situation, but she was intelligent from a young age and could sense that something was amiss.

......

Cheng Xiao left quickly.

Before leaving, Yao Guang handed over a brocade pouch, hoping that it could be opened after he returned in a small carriage.

Cheng Xiao naturally did not refuse, and if nothing unexpected happened, it was about Jing Tian.

After all, for the diviners of the Jade Palace, if there is anyone who is an unpredictable variable, it is none other than Cheng Xiao.

After touring the fairy boat, we rode back to Luofu.

Under the watchful eyes of Danfeng and Yingxing, Chengxiao obediently put on the shackles and went into the basement.

"How long will this take?"

Danfeng stroked his chin and pondered for a moment:

"Three days, after all, you've been gone for three days."

Cheng Xiao nodded and then obediently settled in.

Opening the brocade pouch given by Yao Guang, the contents were similar to what Cheng Xiao had in mind.

【Mr. Cheng Xiao, my master's divination of fate has never been wrong, except for one instance: the death of the Sword Master of Yao Feng. The cause was you. My master is now in a deadly predicament, and we do not know the details. We hope you can help us.】

Diviners yearn for change, yet most choose to let nature take its course. Why? Because seeking change through physical means often results in immediate death, with no chance of survival.

Just like her personality, Yao Guang was never one to sit idly by and wait for her fate.

She was the one who took the initiative and sought a way out.

As for a hopeless situation, so what? Just pry open a sliver of hope. Once you're in the game, the situation is unpredictable, so the more chaotic it gets, the better.

Cheng Xiao began to ponder that Jing Tian's predicament was actually the third Bountiful War two hundred years later, in which the allied forces of the evil creatures would reawaken the demon star [Ketu Mirage] to launch a surprise attack on Fanghu Immortal Ship.

That was the most brutal battle, the last stand of the bountiful creatures after they had given up everything!

It was that battle that led to the various problems and anxieties that plagued the Immortal Ship afterward.
