I Have an Omen System

Daqian, Youzhou Prefecture

The bright moon hung high in the sky over a secluded mountain forest.

A massive Tai Chi Yin Yang Diagram, so condensed it looked solid, slowly formed and began to rotate.

The black and white qi moved like two fish chasing each other’s tails, swimming in a slow, continuous circle.

It was obvious, however, that the white Yang fish was overpowering the black one.

"Junior Sister Su, have you found the Yin Eye yet? We’ve been waiting for a full hour. If we keep wasting time like this, the Youzhou Guard will discover us!"

Jin Wuhai’s booming voice urged her on, ringing like the clash of metal.

"Senior Brother Jin, just give me another moment... The Qi Mechanism of this Yang Eye is too ferocious. This old True Monarch’s hiding methods are really going to be the death of me..."

A voice so seductive it could melt bone replied.

It was laced with an exhausted gasp.

The endlessly charming Su Mei was drenched in fragrant sweat. A few damp strands of her black hair clung to her smooth forehead, adding to her languid and bewitching allure.

"Junior Sister Su, try to compose yourself. This isn’t your Joy Altar!"

Jin Wuhai, standing to the side, rebuked her with a frown, clearly disliking Su Mei’s affected mannerisms.

Su Mei bit her lip, sweat dripping from her chin. She shot Jin Wuhai a look of reproach. ’Easy for you to say,’ she thought.

’I’m the one controlling this Yin Yang Array. If you’re so tough, why don’t you try it?’

The old man in the black robe, surnamed Dong, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.

"There is no rush, Little Friend Su. If Wei Lengrong truly arrives, I can hold her off for a while."

Hearing this, Su Mei let out a long sigh of relief.

Ji Bochang asked, "Mr. Dong, is the inheritance of the Sun and Moon Xiyue Palm Shining Daoist’s Secret Realm really here in Daqian’s Youzhou Prefecture?"

Dong Yunhe, holding a Three-Inch Bronze Pill Furnace, nodded slightly.

"There can be no mistake. The Celestial Vault Star Palace contains three thousand six hundred Star Palaces. While the Daqian Royal Family controls the strongest of them—the Ziwei Circle in the Nine Heavens—the rival Seven Luminaries Star Palace has been lost."

"Before we came, the Demon Monarch consulted the Holy Sect’s secret records. The Sun and Moon Xiyue Palm Shining Daoist, master of the Seven Luminaries Star Palace, was last seen right here."

The moment his voice fell, Su Mei exclaimed with joy.

"I’ve found it! Now! Senior Brother Jin, draw the Demon Blood and ignite the yin malevolence!"

The demonic light on the Array Plate suddenly flared, pointing to the deep, dark, round eye of the black fish in the diagram.

"Open!"

Almost simultaneously, Jin Wuhai let out a thunderous roar as his burly arms swelled several times in size.

The Iron Hook Finger Guards on his hands tore through the air, stirring up two currents of black astral wind and sending sparks flying.

"AHH!"

Hou Qi shrieked as his chest was brutally ripped open. A spray of warm Essence Blood transformed into a crimson line, shooting straight for the eye of the black fish.

HUMMM—!

The entire Yin Yang Array trembled violently.

Struck by the Demon Blood, the eye of the black fish erupted with a dark light.

A burst of extremely yin and frigid energy exploded outward.

It triggered a fiery backlash from the Yang fish, which flared with brilliant white light.

The Yin Yang Qi was instantly thrown out of balance.

Su Mei clutched her chest, her beautiful eyes wide. Her delicate body trembled, and her full bosom heaved, clearly startled.

In that chaotic instant, the ever-silent Ji Bochang made his move.

A stunning flash of sword light cut across the sky, forcibly tearing open a spatial rift.

"Go!"

Ji Bochang shouted, his figure blurring into a shadowy silhouette.

All five of them vanished from the world.

「Inside a dense forest filled with crimson-leafed trees.」

"Old Dog Jin, let go of me! You’ve used my blood, you’ve used my arts, and now you want me to scout ahead? Do you really think I have no temper?"

The speaker was a dwarf-like Demon Cultivator, snarling furiously. He resembled an ape, stood no more than four feet tall, and had abnormally skinny limbs.

A closer look revealed him to be none other than Hou Qi, whose chest had just been torn open.

For some unknown reason, however, the wound on Hou Qi’s chest had now miraculously healed.

Aside from his messy hair, his blood-red eyes darted about restlessly. He looked for all the world like a ferocious mountain demon that had gained sentience.

In contrast, Jin Wuhai, who had been brimming with power just moments before, was now wreathed in flames. He held Hou Qi in a death grip, looking like he was in unbearable agony.

"Junior Brother Hou, don’t just stand there gloating! Help me, quickly..."

"If the Yin Yang Array hadn’t been disturbed by that sudden surge of Demonic Essence, how could you have been lucky enough to receive the Sun and Moon True Monarch’s Water Star of Destiny inheritance!"

Hou Qi grinned from ear to ear, gloating.

"So now you know to call me Junior Brother? Too late!"

"Old Dog Jin, you attained a Yang Metal Position, but you ended up with the Fire Star of Destiny’s inheritance. Fire overcomes metal. Just wait to be burned to a crisp, hahaha!"

Just as Hou Qi was reveling in his delight...

A hunched-over old man in a gray robe appeared, moving at a leisurely pace.

"Master Dong!"

Hou Qi’s expression changed drastically. Before he could escape, the gray-robed old man grabbed him, threw him aside, and sealed his Demonic Essence.

Dong Yunhe had one hand tucked into his wide sleeve, while the other steadily held a three-inch-tall Bronze Pill Cauldron.

"Master Dong, save me!"

Jin Wuhai wailed. Half the flesh on his body had been seared by the Fire Star of Destiny, and it was melting like wax.

"Don’t panic. You’ll be fine after you take this Three Talents Fire Suppressing Pill."

Dong Yunhe’s gaze was icy. With hands as gaunt as eagle talons, he pulled a milky-white pill wreathed in a fragrant medicinal aroma from his sleeve.

Smelling that rich fragrance unique to pills, Jin Wuhai’s face instantly went pale.

But at this moment, he was in no position to refuse.

Watching Jin Wuhai steel himself and swallow the Fire Suppressing Pill, a smile tugged at the corners of Dong Yunhe’s mouth.

The next moment, something miraculous happened.

The raging flames burning on Jin Wuhai’s body actually went out.

"Have either of you seen Master Ji?"

Dong Yunhe suddenly asked.

Jin Wuhai shook his head.

Dong Yunhe frowned slightly.

"The Seven Luminaries Star Palace contains seven Life Stars: Taiyin, Sun, Taibai, Jupiter, Venus, Ying Huo, and Guardian Star. Of these, Taiyin and the Sun are the strongest."

"Now that the two of you have obtained Ying Huo of the fire element and Venus of the water element, could it be that Master Ji and Little Friend Su have gone searching for the Taiyin and Sun Life Stars?"

"This is bad!"

Dong Yunhe was suddenly overcome with panic.

Su Mei is not a virgin. She has no Primordial Yin left and cannot possibly help Master Ji obtain the Sun Fate Star’s inheritance!

「Inside the Jade Crystal Palace.」

Qin Xuan watched, wide-eyed, as Luo Qianfeng’s body stood up bizarrely.

Without a second thought, the Lifebound Longsword in Qin Xuan’s hand let out a thunderous hum.

Blood Talisman: Godslayer!

BOOM!

The sharp Sword Qi struck, slicing Luo Qianfeng in half. And yet, his body continued to walk on as if nothing had happened.

It wasn’t just Luo Qianfeng.

The corpses of Lei Hong and Lady Miao San also rose to their feet.

Shen Yuling turned pale with fright. "Eld... Elder Wang, what’s happening to them?"

But Qin Xuan was lost in thought at that moment.

A sudden realization struck him.

’It’s the opportunity for the Fifth Grade Destiny Star mentioned in the Divination!’

A massive Tai Chi Yin Yang Diagram, so condensed it looked solid, materialized from thin air, rotating slowly.

The black and white qi moved like two fish chasing each other’s tails, swimming in a slow, continuous circle.

"Elder Wang, a voice is calling to the Jade Order on my body, the one that holds my family’s Beast Taming Technique..."

Shen Yuling said in a panic, utterly at a loss.

It wasn’t just Shen Yuling. Qin Xuan could also feel the Six-winged Cyan Cicada on his person being drawn out.

In addition, there was Luo Qianfeng’s Profound Frost Longsword, Lei Hong’s Array Plate, and a small Pill Cauldron that had been in Lady Miao San’s arms...

The legacies representing the five great cultivation Dharma Gates—Sword, Array, Artifact, Pill, and Technique—all flew out from their bodies, heading toward the black and white yin-yang fish.

A terrifying suction force, far more vast and ancient than the pressure of a Purple Mansion and carrying with it a brilliant heavenly might, erupted without warning!

"Hold on to me. I can grant you a great opportunity."

Realizing what was happening, Qin Xuan only had time to let out a low growl before he grabbed the tattered-clothed Shen Yuling and fell downward with her.

His vision was filled with endless darkness and distorted streams of light, as if they had been sucked into a two-toned black-and-white vortex.

"THUD!" "THUD!"

The two of them landed hard in a strange place.

They hadn’t landed on hard stone slabs, but on a soft, dark-gold jade that had a strange elasticity.

An incredibly dense, scorching Spiritual Qi automatically drilled into his pores from all around him. Qin Xuan felt a pleasant sensation spread through his entire body.

However, Shen Yuling’s condition was the complete opposite!
