In the night sky, a strange star suddenly lit up, exuding a fierce aura, proving its nature as an evil star.

With the appearance of this evil star, a meteor shower streaked across the sky. Although the brilliant starlight was fleeting, the radiance it left behind was unforgettable.

At the Fate Altar on the Heavenly Star Platform, Elder Shiming saw the evil star shining brightly and began calculating repeatedly.

"The star is in the west, clearly rising from the western side, and countless meteor scenes follow this evil star, which will cause no small amount of trouble. The chaos in the west, it can only be the Western Regions..."

The heavy pupils showed a bright light, and the two pupils began to merge, overlapping each other. In an instant, two beams of divine light shot from Elder Shiming's eyes, piercing straight into the heavens.

"Heavy-eyed Fate Observation."

In Elder Shiming's eyes, it seemed as if numerous meteors were streaking by, each meteor revealing a destiny, with fate manifesting within.

At the same time, the Heavenly Destiny Compass began spinning rapidly, countless divine golden characters appearing in the air, colliding and creating streams of light.

"The chaos in the west, such a major event, I only noticed it now, I must see who is behind this trickery?" Elder Shiming sneered.

Even though the heavenly mechanism was starting to blur, with Elder Shiming's skill, he should not have been so late to notice. Thinking of the previous anomalies, Elder Shiming decisively concluded that someone was targeting him with some trickery.

Though Elder Shiming's Heavenly Mechanism Divination Skill is the world's number one, given the current hazy state of heavenly mechanisms, it was indeed possible for someone to interfere with his sensing.

Interfering with other people's calculations, especially with blurred heavenly mechanisms, is no doubt more difficult. The meddler only needed to trip him up, no need to calculate the tribulation-qi-obscured heavenly mechanisms themselves.

This calculated move caught Elder Shiming off guard.

The heavy pupils combined with the Heavenly Destiny Compass, and the responsive Elder Shiming showcased the strength of the world's number one master of heavenly mechanisms, the scattered golden characters began to piece together.

Elder Shiming was indeed Elder Shiming, promptly catching the tail of the one behind the scenes, intending to reveal their true body.

But just as the golden edict was about to form, a strange light suddenly emerged from the compass, disrupting the golden edict back into symbols.

"Chaotic Fate Technique, good, well done—"

Seeing this strange light mess up the edict, Elder Shiming laughed in anger, repeatedly saying, "Indeed, my good disciple actually used the skill I taught to deal with me—"

The founder of the Chaotic Fate Technique was none other than Elder Shiming himself. And this technique of interfering with heavenly mechanisms was presently known by only one person besides him...

That was the rebellious apprentice who had defected from the sect back then—Wen Xisheng.

"Once united with Meng Shanhe to break my heavenly mechanism's concealment, revealing the Breaking Wolf situation, now again secretly sabotaging my affairs, my good disciple, do you really think I'm too old to function?"

Elder Shiming shouted angrily, the Heavenly Destiny Compass suspended in the air, with his hands constantly changing, countless seals formed from his hands, transforming into golden handprints that entered the Heavenly Destiny Compass. The heavy pupils in his eyes appeared even more imposing, the penetrating gaze seeming to see through all things in the world.

All of Wen Xisheng's learning came from Elder Shiming, though he also created other techniques, he still found it hard to escape the bounds of Shiming's influence. Now Elder Shiming exerted his full strength, determined to locate Wen Xisheng.

"Observing Heaven and Predicting Destiny!"

The final seal was cast, and the scattered golden characters once more began to form, the edict was about to appear again.

After all, Elder Shiming proved more skillful; even in this muddled state of heavenly mechanisms, he still managed to catch Wen Xisheng's trail.

However, will things truly go as Elder Shiming wished?

Just when the edict was about to form again, an invisible wave flashed, disrupting the edict once more.

Taking this opportunity, Wen Xisheng shook off pursuit, erasing his traces completely.

The golden light faded, a sudden gust arose, and the deep blue hood fell open, revealing Elder Shiming's true appearance.

"Who is it?!"

The slightly white hair whipped wildly, the handsome face twisted with an iron hue, as if like an evil ghost.

Seeing that he was about to lock onto Wen Xisheng's location, only for an unexpected Cheng Yaojin to disrupt Elder Shiming's calculations, how could he not be furious?

Moreover, the appearance of this disruptor also indicated that the one secretly causing trouble was not just his treacherous disciple Wen Xisheng alone. Although Elder Shiming is the leading figure in heavenly mechanisms, if multiple experts in the Yi Skill were to interfere with him, there would be no need to join forces, and they could render his divine skills useless.

In the current confounding environment, let alone multiple experts, even a single one could severely disrupt his calculations. Just like what Wen Xisheng had done before.

"The chaos in the west must be discussed with others."

Immediately, Elder Shiming took out a jade pendant, infused it with True Qi, and summoned everyone else.

························

Scene shift, Qing Yu appeared within the Heavenly Vault, where all but one, Flame Sky, were present among the remaining Nine Heavens.

"Bian Tian, the Peacock remnants from the Western Regions attacked Shu Province, why did you not detect it in time?"

Upon appearing within the Heavenly Vault, You Tian was heard questioning Elder Bian Tian.

"This time, it was my miscalculation..."

Elder Shiming maintained the posture with his hood lifted, presenting his apprentice's face directly to everyone.

Being schemed against, Elder Shiming could no longer be bothered to hide the fact that he seized the body of his closing disciple Qiao Baixuan, anyway, among the Nine Heavens, some had already speculated, and others had discovered the matter.

"My rebellious apprentice, Wen Xisheng, over this period, has constantly been hindering my heavenly mechanism sensing, being personally taught by me, he is well-familiar with my methods. For a moment, I was caught unaware, and he succeeded!"

Thinking of this embarrassing matter, even Elder Shiming's thick skin felt a bit embarrassed, his face turned blue like a ghost.

"Did you capture Wen Xisheng's whereabouts?" Jun Heaven asked.

"No," Elder Shiming's face grew even more unsightly, "this rebellious disciple must have found a masterful person to assist him, otherwise, with his abilities alone, even in the confusion of heavenly mechanisms, there's no way he could be so thorough. Moreover, when I was about to capture his whereabouts, another person intervened, breaking my divination.

This person, his skill in the heavenly mechanism realm is no less than Wen Xisheng's, perhaps even greater."

"Let's not discuss Wen Xisheng for now. The Peacock remnants from the Western Regions attacked, and Lin Lingshan is leading people to resist. Let's first discuss how to repel Nalanda Temple," You Tian said.

"How to repel? Just send Jun Heaven over," Zhu Tian chuckled, "Nalanda Temple's Fantian is also a supreme, Jun Heaven must be very interested in that.

As for Flame Sky, he hasn't appeared this time, it seems we can confirm that he's the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, the Patriarch of the Lin Family, Lin Lingshan."
