The Supreme Beauty Fell in Love with Me

Time was slowly passing, and by around four in the afternoon, Lin Chuan finally woke up. The Little Snake saw that Lin Chuan had awakened and hissed, constantly rubbing its snake head against his cheek.

"Little guy, where did those monsters go?" Lin Chuan, upon waking and seeing the giant bird and monsters gone, couldn't help but curiously ask the Little Snake.

The Little Snake couldn't speak, and it soared into mid-air, flying back and forth, occasionally shaking its snake head a few times.

Lin Chuan couldn't understand what the Little Snake was trying to express, and he couldn't help but frown. As he moved his body, he noticed that the qi mass within him had recovered and was even stronger than before.

What exactly was happening? Why was he able to recover even after fainting? Lin Chuan was a little puzzled.

"Little guy, do you know where these monsters came from?" Lin Chuan knew the Little Snake wouldn't know, but he couldn't help asking.

The Little Snake spiraled in mid-air, suddenly soared into the sky, then rapidly fell, stopping on Lin Chuan's shoulder.

"You mean these monsters came from the sky?" Lin Chuan asked, looking at the Little Snake.

The Little Snake shook its head and nodded repeatedly.

Not far away, two figures swiftly shot towards them, arriving at the lakeside in an instant.

The speed of these two figures was extremely fast; Lin Chuan wouldn't have believed that people could achieve such speed before.

These two figures came to a halt—a man and a woman. The man looked to be in his fifties, and the woman was about the same age as Lin Chuan, with looks comparable to Tang Yumeng.

Lin Chuan recognized this pair as well; they were Chu Qiuyan and her father, Chu Tianhan, with whom he had a marriage arrangement since childhood.

Upon seeing Lin Chuan, Chu Qiuyan frowned slightly, her expression somewhat cold as she said, "Lin Chuan, what are you doing here?"

To be honest, Lin Chuan didn't really have a good impression of Chu Qiuyan. Although this woman was very pretty, her character wasn't great, somewhat snobbish.

Lin Chuan didn't answer Chu Qiuyan. He merely glanced at her and her father before turning to leave.

Knowing the temper of his unruly and willful daughter, and feeling guilty about the engagement matter, Chu Tianhan quickly called out, "Lin Chuan, please don't leave yet."

Lin Chuan turned to look at Chu Qiuyan and her father, his face expressionless as he said, "Sorry, I have matters to attend to. I must excuse myself."

Chu Qiuyan saw Lin Chuan ignore her and her father like that, and couldn't help but shout coquettishly, "Lin Chuan, how dare you speak to my father like that, believe it or not..."

Before Chu Qiuyan could finish her sentence, Lin Chuan coldly interrupted, "Our paths are different, we can't work together. Goodbye."

Chu Qiuyan was furious, her body flashing as she rushed towards Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan didn't want to get entangled with this woman, but he certainly wouldn't let her insult him. Even though Chu Qiuyan was fast, Lin Chuan was faster. When Chu Qiuyan reached him, stretching her right hand to slap his face, he twisted his body and with even greater speed extended his right palm, slapping Chu Qiuyan's face first.

The force of Lin Chuan's slap was not strong, but it made Chu Qiuyan very embarrassed. More furious than ever, she stepped back, and a burst of energy surged from between her palms, striking towards Lin Chuan's chest.

"Yan'er, don't." Chu Tianhan quickly called out.

By this time, Lin Chuan had already regained his previous state, raising his palms to meet Chu Qiuyan's.

Thud...

Lin Chuan's palms collided with Chu Qiuyan's attacking palms, producing a muffled sound, and Chu Qiuyan's body was sent flying backward.

"Heavenly Heart Skill Seal." Chu Tianhan exclaimed, tapping the tip of his foot and swiftly leaping into the air to catch Chu Qiuyan's falling body.

Held in Chu Tianhan's arms, Chu Qiuyan had a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, her delicate face showing some paleness, as she had already fainted.

Lin Chuan had used less than half of his strength; otherwise, Chu Qiuyan's life would have been over.

"Lin Chuan, how do you know the Heavenly Heart Skill's Sealing Heart Skill?" Chu Tianhan quickly checked Chu Qiuyan's injuries, finding nothing serious, and then turned to Lin Chuan, asking.

Lin Chuan smiled faintly, shrugged, and said, "That seems to be none of your business."

"Lin Chuan, I know Yan'er wronged you, but this issue is very important. Please answer me," Chu Tianhan said, his face very serious.

The Little Snake had flown from Lin Chuan's right arm to land on a nearby broken branch when Chu Tianhan and his daughter arrived. At this moment, it suddenly flew from the branch, a flash of golden light, landing on Lin Chuan's right shoulder.

Chu Tianhan saw the Little Snake, and his originally solemn face changed dramatically, exclaiming: "Gold-Headed Spirit Snake."

Lin Chuan was taken aback; he did not expect Chu Tianhan to not only know he was practicing the Heavenly Heart Skill Seal, but also know the name of the Little Snake. His mind stirred, and he said: "How do you know it's the Gold-Headed Spirit Snake?"

Chu Tianhan moved his gaze away from the Little Snake, looked at Lin Chuan and said: "Lin Chuan, I can tell you, but you must answer my question."

Lin Chuan pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, the Heavenly Heart Skill Seal came to me by accident."

"Destiny indeed." Chu Tianhan muttered to himself, then said to Lin Chuan: "Since you've obtained the Heavenly Heart Skill Seal, you must have also gotten the Illusion Pearl, right?"

Lin Chuan was stunned again. The Illusion Pearl was the token of the Quan Dao Sect's headmaster. He didn't expect Chu Tianhan to know even about this, and he couldn't help but become curious about who Chu Tianhan was and why he knew these things.

Nodding his head, Lin Chuan didn't hide from Chu Tianhan and said: "Yes, I've obtained the Illusion Pearl as well."

"Can you let me see it?" Chu Tianhan asked.

Lin Chuan hesitated slightly but still took out the Illusion Pearl from his body and held it in his palm. Though it was daytime, the light emitted by the Illusion Pearl was still quite strong.

Chu Tianhan, seeing the Illusion Pearl, suddenly put down Chu Qiuyan, kneeled on one knee toward Lin Chuan, and clasped his hands in respect, saying: "Chu Tianhan, the 38th generation disciple of the Quan Dao Sect, pays respect to the sect leader."

Chu Tianhan was actually from the Quan Dao Sect, which surprised Lin Chuan even more. He quickly helped Chu Tianhan up and said: "What's going on here?"

Chu Tianhan sighed and said: "Lin Chuan, you possess the Illusion Pearl and have obtained the Heavenly Heart Skill Seal; you are now the esteemed sect leader of Quan Dao Sect. I'll tell you everything."

Lin Chuan looked at Chu Tianhan and didn't speak, waiting for him to continue.

Chu Tianhan turned and walked to sit down next to a tree trunk broken by a creature, and Lin Chuan followed and sat down beside Chu Tianhan.

"Do you know who the founding patriarch of Quan Dao Sect is?" Chu Tianhan asked, looking at Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan wouldn't know this, so he shook his head.

Chu Tianhan continued: "Quan Dao Sect worships Lao Zi as the founding patriarch, and for centuries, has always regarded itself as the orthodox of Taoism. Three hundred years ago, Quan Dao Sect suddenly disbanded, and its disciples formed their own sects. It has now split into many sects, including Xuanyuan Sect, Tai Chi Sect, Ancient Martial Sect, Maoshan Tao, and many others that are actually affiliated with Quan Dao Sect."

Lin Chuan had heard this from the old General. He interjected and asked: "Why did Quan Dao Sect suddenly disband three hundred years ago?"

Chu Tianhan shook his head and said: "That I don't know either. It's always been a mystery. However, even though Quan Dao Sect has split into many sects, according to ancestral teachings, whenever someone possesses the Quan Dao Sect's headmaster token, they must obey their commands."

"How are you related to Quan Dao Sect then?" Lin Chuan asked.

Chu Tianhan said: "Our Chu family's ancestor was a disciple of the Quan Dao Sect, but we didn't form our own sect."

"Why did you come to Kunlun Mountain then?" Lin Chuan asked again.

Chu Tianhan said: "While our Chu family is considered cultivators, we are more adept at observing constellations and feng shui. A few days ago, I saw the Dubhe Star in the Beidou constellation grow dim, and calculated that something significant was about to happen in Kunlun Mountain, so we hurried over."

Observing celestial phenomena and knowing the changes of destiny belongs to Taoist astrology divination. Do not consider these merely feudal superstitions; they indeed contain certain scientific principles.

Since ancient times, humans have been inspired by cosmic constellations to infer the concept of time. Fuxi should be the progenitor of stellar divination; he deduced the initial Five Elements and Eight Diagrams from natural changes, later perfected and developed into the sixty-four hexagrams by King Wen of Zhou.

The Five Elements and Eight Diagrams secretly coincide with the cosmos, the yin and yang changes of nature, utilizing the mutual relationship between heaven, earth, and man, can indeed predict the future's fortunes and misfortunes.

In this regard, two people achieved the greatest accomplishment, they are Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng from the Tang dynasty. These two collaborated to create a legendary book, "The Pushback Diagram."

"The Pushback Diagram" has left many legends in later generations, most notably the incident concerning Zhu Yuanzhang. It is said that while Zhu Yuanzhang was begging for food, he inadvertently obtained a page of "The Pushback Diagram" and was guided by an expert to embark on a military career.

After becoming emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the search for "The Pushback Diagram," and upon obtaining it, asked Liu Bowen to decipher its secrets. Liu Bowen discovered from "The Pushback Diagram" that Zhu Yuanzhang intended to harm him. After leaving a letter, he fled into the night with "The Pushback Diagram."

In the letter Liu Bowen left for Zhu Yuanzhang, he not only predicted Zhu Di would kill Jianwen Emperor but also foretold the fate of the Daming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry and ordered the establishment of the Eastern Depot, launching a nationwide manhunt for Liu Bowen, but until his death, Liu Bowen was never found.

Zhu Yuanzhang's son Zhu Di seized the Daming throne and was also very interested in "The Pushback Diagram." Some said Liu Bowen had fled to an overseas fairy mountain, so he ordered his confidant Ma Bao, who was Zheng He, to sail the Western Ocean seven times in search of Liu Bowen, but tragically returned empty-handed each time.

Lin Chuan was completely clueless about these matters, nor was he interested in knowing. Right now, he just wanted to know what major event Chu Tianhan was referring to. So he asked: "You mentioned something significant is happening in Kunlun Mountain; what did you calculate it to be?"
