Xia Wenxu had a special ability since birth. He could foresee the future. This foresight ability initially worked only with people he was familiar and close with. But after Xia Wenxu turned six, this ability grew stronger. Whenever he wished, even a simple eye contact could let him see through a person’s fate. To others, this ability might seem like a stroke of luck, but for Xia Wenxu, it was a source of distress. At such a young age, he had to overly bear the burden of others’ misfortune and death. This plunged him into nightmares day and night. To prevent mental exhaustion and potential collapse, his family painfully sent him to the Magic Temple to apprentice under Chang Siming Ji Yu, who practiced Heavenly Vision. Under Ji Yu’s guidance, Xia Wenxu learned to control this ability. In specific circumstances, he would predict someone’s fate and future only if he wished to. The first time he encountered someone whose fate he could not foresee was Ye Beiming. At that time, Chang Siming brought him to the Imperial Palace of Great Zhou to optimize fortune and avert disaster for the Great Zhou Imperial Family. Besides imparting magic to others, the Mainland Magic Temple had a mission unknown to the world, which was to maintain the equilibrium of Wuji Continent. The coexistence of the Five Great Countries and Eastern Capital on Wuji Continent had persisted for many years. The Magic Temple did not intend to disrupt this balance. In the vast Imperial Palace, Xia Wenxu was utterly bored when he saw a little boy with exceptionally delicate features. The boy stood in a corner; he was blind. This was the first person whom Xia Wenxu could not see through. Years later, he would learn that this solitary little boy was the disaster child mentioned by his master. Xia Wenxu also asked his master, why he called him a disaster child. At that time, Ji Yu only said that this child was born of slaughter. The continent would witness a surge of bloody winds and rains because of him. At that time, Xia Wenxu did not believe it. He impulsively decided to try and see the little boy’s fate. But when he touched the boy’s hand, he experienced a prediction breakdown for the first time. He saw nothing. This was the first time Xia Wenxu’s prediction failed, and for many years after, he could not understand why. Not until he met Yun Sheng did he discover that there was another person whose fate he could not decipher. If this time, he tried to predict the fate of Beiming King, how would it turn out? Xia Wenxu couldn’t help but take another look at Beiming King. As their eyes met, suddenly, Xia Wenxu felt like he saw something? A dark shadow, an almost suffocating darkness, seemed to appear behind Ye Beiming. Just as he tried to see more clearly, the urging from Empress Qi beside him forced him to withdraw his thoughts. "Si Ming, my brother’s sickness is now entrusted to you," Ye Beiming remained largely unreactive to Xia Wenxu’s scrutiny. "Si Ming, please come this way, the Crown Prince is waiting for you!" A palace maid urged, and Xia Wenxu had to withdraw his gaze. Suddenly, a gentle glow descended from the sky, and Crown Prince Ye Beilian, whose face had already turned ash grey, gradually regained his color under the influence of Light Magic. A stream of pitch-black blood flowed out from the five orifices of Ye Beilian. "He’s awakened, the Crown Prince has awakened!" A wave of joy instantly filled the palace. "The Crown Prince’s Magic Soul... his body has almost been completely healed, he will recover within a month. Regarding his diet, abstain from alcohol and eat light," Xia Wenxu left the palace, but this time, he did not encounter Ye Beiming again. Inside the Imperial Palace, a storm was brewing, but Yun Sheng remained completely unaware. After settling the affairs of the Hunting Corps, she returned to the Medicine Hall. "Little master, we have been waiting for your return," Yun Sheng had just arrived back at Wuxuan Wuji Hall when she heard Zong Ren’s pitiful voice. It was truly frustrating for him, a dignified Holy Beast Summoner, to hide and sneak around all this way. At last, when Yun Sheng was alone, he dared to show himself. "Zong Ren, I only asked you to teach the Dark Crown Prince a lesson, but instead, you caused such great trouble," Yun Sheng feigned displeasure. "Hey, little master, those princes from the two countries are no good at all. To knock off one is to knock off one. Anyway, how could someone from the Great Zhou Imperial Family truly die that easily? Even if the Medicine Emperor Pavilion did not intervene, the Magic Temple would have sent someone," Zong Ren said with understanding. "What do you mean by that? Without Purple Ginseng of Six Leaves and above, they can’t concoct the Ten Thousand Gold Pill, and Ye Beilian won’t live long," Yun Sheng took care of the Crown Prince of Great Zhou along the way. Yun Sheng was certain that without her Medical Soul Divine Needle, even if the Great National Doctor from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion interfered, Ye Beilian’s chances this time would have been slim. She would definitely not expose her Medical Skill for such a scoundrel as the Crown Prince of Great Zhou. "Ancient Medical Skill is ineffective, but that doesn’t mean magic won’t work. The good-for-nothing Crown Prince of Great Zhou is the preferred successor watched over by the Magic Temple; if he dies, Ye Beiming would be the most suitable heir to the throne among the princes, and the Magic Temple would definitely intervene. With Light Magic for treatment, even if the Crown Prince were dead, he could still be revived," Zong Ren found tea in the Medicine Hall and started drinking self-servedly. He had also looked around when he arrived; it seems his young master was right, she truly was a pharmacist, managing the Medicine Hall of Great Zhou’s top Martial Arts Hall, Wuxuan Wuji Hall, at such a young age. When he sneaked in, he had surveyed the place and found that the abilities of the martial artists in the hall were quite impressive. It seems he needs to be more careful in his activities in this area to avoid any mishaps and be seen. "Does the Mainland Magic Temple also designate the heirs for the Five Great Countries?" Yun Sheng had always thought the Mainland Magic Temple was just for teaching various Basic Magic and developing Magic Potions; little did she know there were connections between the royal families of the Five Great Countries and the Magic Temple. "Hehe, little master, you are young, so there are some secrets of the continent that you do not know," Zong Ren explained slowly, and Yun Sheng discovered some unknown secrets of the continent. Wuji Continent, thousands of years ago, the owners of the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts either fell or passed away, leaving behind strong individuals who established the Donghuang Dynasty, Hunter Soldier Alliance, Summoning Court, and Magic Temple. The Four Great Strong People were friends from early on, and though they established different forces, they also had a treaty of the Eight Desolate Alliance. This treaty was also to prevent the once banished Demon Beasts from reemerging in the Wuji Continent. The Donghuang Dynasty and the three organizations aim to establish a friendly and balanced relationship. However, the split of the Donghuang Dynasty was unforeseen. In the first few months of the division of the Donghuang Dynasty, the continent suffered greatly, and the lives of the people were miserable. The Dutian Beast Blood Cloud Realm also became more active during this period, and finally, the three organizations could no longer hold back; they jointly launched a call for martial artists, mages, and summoners. The collapsing political situation on the continent was forcibly stabilized, and the three organizations together with the remaining forces of the Donghuang Dynasty, according to their own interests, established different rulers. Among them, Great Zhou and Hou Qin were occupied by the Hunter Soldier Alliance, governed by martial prowess. Penglai Country directly became the rear power of the Summoning Court, with many summoners there; the Magic Temple chose the resource-rich Tang Yuan, while the remaining forces of the Donghuang Dynasty and Xianju became the last stronghold, including the Ancient East Emperor Dynasty and the elves. "So, if that’s the case, Great Zhou and Hou Qin should be under the jurisdiction of the Hunter Soldier Alliance. Even if there is a change in the royal family, it should concern the Hunter Soldier Alliance. Why would the Magic Temple intervene?" Yun Sheng, puzzled, had not expected that behind the seemingly peaceful Five Great Countries, there was the influence of the three organizations. "Hehe, this matter still has to start from the Emperor of Great Zhou," Zong Ren teased.
