1493 It’s Easy to Fish in Muddy Waters
As the saying goes, a rotten boat has three pounds of nails. A starving camel is still bigger than a horse. How could a sect with millions of disciples disappear just like that?
He noticed that Wang Dong had used the term “sudden decline.” Normally, for a behemoth like this, if there was no external force, even if it declined, it would be a long process.
“We don’t know much about the specific situation. After countless wars, even the Alchemist Association, which doesn’t participate in the world’s hegemony, has been on the verge of destruction,” Wang Dong said calmly as if that was not their Alchemist Association. “During that process, many books were lost. Therefore, we do not know much about what happened back then. The only thing we know is that the Violet Thunder Swords went on an expedition to an unknown place and suffered a great defeat. Less than ten percent of the people who went returned, and the remaining people were not enough to suppress the restless powers in the various places. In the end, they quickly declined and their sect was breached.”
“An expedition?” Chu Yunfan was shocked. The Violet Thunder Swords had millions of disciples, yet they failed in their expedition? What powerful had they met on their expedition?
“Yes, an expedition, and many more things have been drowned in history. Nobody knows,” said Wang Dong, “Ever since the Violet Thunder Swords’ decline, the sect was breached and all of its disciples were massacred. As for the treasures that were originally stored in the sect, they disappeared without a trace.
“Actually, the entrance to the treasury has always been there. It’s located on this mountain. The residents of this town are the descendants of the disciples who guarded the Violet Thunder Swords treasury.”
“Is this all because you lack a token?” Chu Yunfan asked.
Wang Dong nodded and said, “It’s one of the reasons, but it’s not the whole reason. The key is that the timing isn’t right. The truth is, this mountain range is just an entrance, and the treasury is built in another space. After the Violet Thunder Swords’ decline, th treasury left the Spirit Realm and returns once every few hundred years. It’s about to return once again.”
“But if I don’t appear, this opportunity will be lost,” Chu Yunfan said lightly.
“No, you will appear!” said Wang Dong, “The reason we’re gathered here is because we’re confident. This time, the master of Mysteries Pavilion will personally use the Book of Changes to deduce when the treasury will see the light of day again.”
Chu Yunfan’s interest was piqued. He had come here by accident during his battle with the khan. It was all a coincidence, but someone had predicted it in advance.
“Impossible. As far as I know, it’s impossible to predict the future even if you’re in the Core Stage. It’s impossible even above the Core Stage.” Chu Yunfan shook his head.
He had the memories of the Alchemy Emperor in his mind, so he naturally knew how amazing the cultivation base was needed to predict the future. Even if he was one level higher than the Core Stage, he wouldn’t be able to do it.
This was especially true for experts. The stronger the expert, the more difficult it was to predict. The traces of these experts in the river of fate became so shallow until they finally left the the physical world and were no held back by the five elements.
Even with cultivation of the Void Core Stage, or even the Core Form Stage, it was impossible to find out other’s roots.
“Of course, it’s impossible to predict arrival your, Sword Young Master. When the Mysteries Pavilion master made this deduction, it was a year ago. He predicted that there might be a turning point in this matter through the Book of Changes. It’s naturally impossible to predict everything. Otherwise, wouldn’t all the benefits in the world be taken by the Mysteries Pavilion?” said Wang Dong with a smile.
Chu Yunfan finally understood. If that was the case, then it was normal. They had only calculated through some means that the treasury would open today, but as for how it would open and who would open it, these were all unknown.
They could only confirm that it would definitely open today.
This was the fate of the universe. However, there were always some variables. Destiny was destiny, and variables were variables. The two were unrelated and could exist at the same time.
Even so, the Mysteries Pavilion master could not be underestimated. Even if he had only vaguely deduced some things, if he did it well, he could obtain many benefits. The Book of Changes that Wang Dong was talking about was probably related to this. The fact that Wang Dong could predict these things must have something to do with the Book of Changes.
“How many sword tokens are there?” Chu Yunfan said.
“To open the Violet Thunder Sword treasury, we need a total of seven sword tokens. The Alchemist Association has one and you have one. Jinzhanghan, Great Wei, and the imperial family of Great Qi each have one. The Netherworld Sect has one too, and the last is in the hands of Nine Stars,” Wang Dong said.
Chu Yunfan thought to himself. No wonder the sect master of the Purity Sect was so nervous at that time. The forces involved in these sword tokens were all huge. Compared to these forces, any one of them could easily crush them. That was why he didn’t dare to make a sound.
Who knew that the token would end up in Chu Yunfan’s hands?
“Since the Mysteries Pavilion was the one who deduced this matter, why don’t they have a token?” Chu Yunfan asked in confusion.
“They’d love to have one, but unfortunately, they don’t have the means,” said Wang Dong indifferently.
Chu Yunfan thought about it and agreed. Although the Mysteries Pavilion was a huge force and a behemoth, which of the forces that held the sword token was weaker than the Mysteries Pavilion?
Immediately, Wang Dong’s eyes flashed with a fierce light as he said, “It is precisely because of this that the Mysteries Pavilion decided to leak the criticism, which attracted many experts from various factions.”
“The Mysteries Pavilion wants to fish in troubled waters?” Chu Yunfan almost immediately understood what the Mysteries Pavilion wanted to do. They didn’t have a sword token, but they wanted a share of the pie. The only way was to muddy the waters so that they could fish in troubled waters.
If it was before, the other families could have played without the Mysteries Pavilion. However, now that the experts of all the forces had come. Many Cores had gathered. There might even be itinerant Core Former. Even the other six forces had to be wary.
