Chapter 2198: Fortune Shrine
There was a vast intangible and incorporeal shrine situated just under the starlit sky. At night, the stars seemed to be within reach.
At the top of the shrine was a star altar. An old man wearing a white robe was bathing in the starlight. It looked like he had been trying to catch stars.
Under his feet was a fortune wheel in which star strength was condensing. The wheel emitted dazzling white lights. All the stars of the sky seemed to be illuminating it.
There were many people behind the altar, but nobody disturbed him.
They didn’t know when the Diviner had arrived. All the people were wearing robes of the same color. They watched the strong cultivator using his Destiny Technique. His Destiny Technique had reached perfection, he could spy on the whole world. He had supreme powers!
“Do we know who will be in the top ten already?” whispered a strong cultivator standing in the air above the Destiny Wheel. The Diviner walked back and forth, releasing his godly awareness. His godly awareness stopped in front of the cultivator who was standing above the Destiny Wheel.
“Indeed. The Fortune Shrine has caused a great calamity and put people into misery and suffering. Even if many years have passed and destiny can’t be differentiated from samsara, I can only rely on the Destiny Technique to predict the future,” whispered the old man in white clothes solemnly.
In the Destiny Shrine was a precious treasure, the Destiny Wheel. It could be used to see destiny. A thousand years before, it had been used. A thousand years later, the Destiny Shrine was in charge of the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, and they had used the Destiny Wheel again. They needed it because they couldn’t see destiny without it.
Maybe the Destiny Wheel had influenced the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds.
Under the old man’s feet, the Destiny Wheel started rotating. Terrifying lights illuminated the ten silhouettes, while at the same time Destiny Intent filled the air. The sky became dazzlingly bright.
Above the ten people, drawings appeared. In the drawings, there were portraits; some looked furious, some looked gentle, or arrogant, sad, and so on.
People’s eyes glittered. The ten finalists were really extraordinary. No wonder they were so strong…
“That mountain…” said the Diviner, pointing at a mountain. A drawing with a demon god appeared. He had a woman in his arms, and looked furious. The Diviner’s heart started pounding. He would have never thought that…
And Chu Chun Qiu…
The Destiny Wheel kept rotating. Among those ten people, only one could make the Destiny Wheel rotate that quickly. His drawing stopped inside. The Diviner and the others’ eyes glittered when they saw that-
Something happened to the Destiny Wheel, the air began to shriek, like two metal wheels caught and grinding on one another. Some stars exploded in the sky. The old man above the Destiny Wheel trembled and suddenly coughed up blood!
The people behind him were astonished. They took a step forwards to help, but the old man raised his hand to tell them not to get closer. He lowered his head and the Destiny Wheel started rotating again.
The old man slowly turned around and looked at the Diviner. “The one you noticed many years ago was this one. Now, the Destiny Technique doesn’t work… it’s as you said.”
“It should be right,” nodded the Diviner.
The old man remained silent for a few seconds and said, “I’ll try again.”
“Master, the Destiny Technique requires too much energy, it’s a calamity. Master, please take care,” said the Diviner, his face stiff.
“Master, please take care!” chimed in all the people who were standing next to the Diviner.
“Alright. Let fate take its course. Even if we can see fate and destiny, we can’t change anything,” said the old man. He turned around and gazed off into the distance.
