Chapter 29: Dream
At the Divination Commission, beneath the Cloud Observation Mirror…
The current Grand Diviner, Diviner Jing Tian, had changed into a fashionable Xianzhou outfit and was adjusting his clothes and hat using the faint reflection in the Cloud Observation Mirror.
His gaze was calm yet profound…
Like a warrior about to face his execution, calmly and proactively accepting his fate.
He was on his way to visit the Fu family to deliver an apprenticeship letter to the young Fu Xuan.
Normally, he did not care much about appearances, but as the Grand Diviner, his reputation preceded him, so a bit of dressing up was necessary.
After finishing his preparations, he turned around, clasped his hands behind his back, and walked toward the door.
"When she turns one year old, Fu Xuan will visit the Divination Commission and become my disciple."
This was the brief message Diviner Jing Tian had written on his calling card to the Fu family.
…
Meanwhile, you were still teaching at your academy, but today, you suddenly had a dream.
You traveled to a certain place within the Sea of Stars…
The scene of the dream:
It was a bleak, desolate desert…
A bright moon hung high in the sky, indicating it was late at night. The dream scene left you deeply confused.
What did this represent?
You watched silently, only to see the bright moon in your vision grow larger and larger…
No—the moon was not growing; it was drawing closer to the ground. In the distance, on the far side of the desert, a black tidal line surged forward.
Towering a hundred feet high, it swept across the desert with destructive force…
It seemed that the moon's proximity to the ground had triggered a massive tide, but what did this signify?
Unable to suppress your curiosity, you continued to observe silently.
Suddenly, your perspective rose, and countless figures appeared on the ground, fleeing in panic as they stared at the approaching tide…
Just as these figures of unknown origin were about to be swallowed by the tide, you appeared.
You held a longbow, drawn taut like a full moon, and on the bowstring was—astonishingly—a long spear…
You aimed at the enormous blood-red moon and released the spear.
The spear, like a beam of light, pierced straight through the moon.
Moments later, the beam of light shattered the brilliant moon under your immense power.
The moon fell…
The tide receded…
And amid the fragments of the moon, you picked up a gleaming spiritual ganoderma. Your breathing quickened, as if this were something of extreme importance to you.
You ate the ganoderma, and then your entire body began to glow with golden light, your appearance instantly becoming a little younger…
The dream ended there. You slowly awoke, somewhat bewildered.
Could this be a strange dream induced by Luck and Precognition?
You got up. This dream was extremely peculiar; you were not someone who dreamed often.
You felt that this dream must be foreshadowing something.
You silently calculated what event related to you might occur.
You used Precognition…
And the result was…
Within half a year, on a star not too far from you, a unique species of starfish capable of extending lifespan would appear.
However, you would first need to obtain the ability to destroy stars.
Half a year…
You fell into deep thought. Could your Incomparable Combat Power allow you to reach such strength within half a year?
You were still uncertain.
Nevertheless, you decided to try.
From that day on, you trained with even greater diligence, but such monotonous training on the practice grounds could not rapidly increase your combat power.
You decided to enter real combat.
Where to go?
You could not decide for the moment…
Not only that—you also needed a good bow…
