Chapter 10- Xing Wu Dian(Constellation Shamanism Hall)

In the palace, there was a secluded courtyard named as Xing Wu Dian (Constellation Shamanism Hall). It was rarely visited by anyone as it was meant to be a place full of divine energy and tranquillity. Although it was not a big yard, it was the second-highest building in the whole palace. There was a designed tower to observe astronomy.

One can see a standing silhouette clad in a thick men frock in deep grey and silver linings. That man had the kindest face features and temperament. He was observing the sky calmly.

BOOM! BOOM!! VOOM!!!

He saw a few rays of silvery-blue firework-like flames were blooming into the sky.

'What was meant to come will eventually come.'

'Destiny couldn't be reverse no matter what.'

'Tian Fei, how long can I protect your son?'

'It seemed like your son was predestined to either make or break the nation.'

Fu Jin, the national priest who was residing in the Xing Wu Dian was one of the trusted aid that Tian Di had been relying on. He was the last descendant of the Xing Wu clan.

He was supposed to be dead in that massacre twenty-three years ago, but a young maiden had rescued him. It all happened when Fu Jin was only eighteen years old.

The Wu clan was separated into two divisions, the Xing Wu clan and the Ling Wu clan. The Xing Wu clan bears the surname Fu while the Ling Wu clan bears the surname Sheng. The Xing Wu clan predicts and make premonition by the astronomy knowledge while the Ling Wu clan absorbs divine energy and turn it into whatever the forces they want to. The had been living in harmony with each other for centuries until the relationship was broken due to a misunderstanding one thousand years ago. There was a dark force that had wanted to break their relationship and obtain the secret of their power. It was still unknown today who did it.

When the two clans had separated, the Ling Wu clan hid in their seclusive place at the TianLing mountain while the Xing Wu clan lives openly at the TianXing mountain. Unlike the Ling Wu who had small numbers of people in their clan, Xing Wu clan was way bigger. They always help the commoners who had problems and provide aids during the natural disaster period.

However, everything had changed when there was a force who harmed and slander them for being treacherous. The Xing Wu clan was said to commit treason as they wanted to snatch the throne away twenty-three years ago.

Nobody knew who had planned and committed the massacre that night. Everything was in chaos. The Xing Wu clan had a warm and gracious temperament as they do not know how to fight. They never once being rough to other people. When assassins were slashing here and there, all they could do was to scream for help. But nobody had come to help them. All the kindness of all those years were all burnt away in that big fire.

Fu Jin was the son of the Fu chief. His father had asked him to hide in order to leave a survival of their clan. Everyone in the clan sacrificed themselves to protect him. It was all fated as Ning Huan who was fourteen years old that year passed by the TianXing mountain and found out about that massacre. When Ning Huan and her guards reached the peak of the mountain, Fu Jin's hideout was already found out by the assassins. Ning Huan managed to stop the fatal blow from the assassins and her guards settled all the assassins.

She then brought Fu Jin back to the Ning's mansion. Fu Jin had trauma and could not speak for about four months. He was shocked and depressed with the fact that his clan has perished. It was Ning Huan who treated him as a friend and gave him a will to live. She was the one who made him realized that he was still alive, and he needs to make sure all the sacrifices that had saved him had to be appreciated. He needs to live. And he can seek revenge if he wants.

She had promoted him to become what he is today. By giving him a new identity, he alternated his way of using astronomy and constellations knowledge in the public. He climbed step by step to acquite his status today with her help. Therefore, he will never forget about her even though, she was no longer in this world. That girl Ning Huan, was the deceased Tian Fei, the daughter of the right prime minister of Heavenly Long Kingdom.

Xing Wu clan was annihilated by a mysterious power in the dark. Fu Jin suspected that is was the remnants of the Ling Wu clan who came to seek revenge from them. However, he could not connect the dots as it was impossible for them to have such a strong power yet.

At least, not until today, when he saw a blue star and a red star merged into a bright silver star.

He had made a premonition way before Ning Tian Fei gave birth to her son. Her son was born with the destiny to either destroy or protect. It was written in his destiny way before his rebirth. That blue star had represented him. It was a dangerous decision to let him live. But Ning Tian Fei was his benefactor. Thus, he will do everything he needs to protect her one and only son- the fourth prince.

The silver star sign was not clear.

But he was certain that a new power was born right just now.

Or rather to say, a curse was broken.

Or a destiny was sealed.

It was a sign, either calamity in masquerade or blessing in disguise.

"TianDi has arrived. Pay your respect." An eunuch clad in a pale red robe announced.

Fu Jin kept his expression down and maintained a calm temperament. He then kneeled and bowed down.

"This subject pays respect to TianDi."

"Please rise." Tian Di was wearing a bright golden robe and on top of it, it was an exaggerating one.

"This subject thanks to Tian Di."

"Shaman Fu, did you see the weird firework-like that was blooming in the sky just now?"

"Yes, this subject was deducing what was that as well before TianDi arrived."

"Oh? Then tell Zhen, what was that?" TianDi was anxious yet his tone was menacing enough to threaten Fu Jin as if he was trying to warn Fu Jin to mind his upcoming word.

"This subject has not completed the prediction. I need three days to complete the predictions. But this subject can tell that it was a good sign, it was a blessing for Tian Di and the nation."

"Hahahaha! Good good! Then Zhen will leave this to you. Prepare to leave." Tian Di ordered the eunuch.

"This subject wish Tian Di a good day."

TianDi walked out of Xing Wu Dian and head towards one of his concubine's courtyard.
