Heaven's Secret Pavilion

Jiuxiao Continent, Northern Flame Dynasty, Dragon City.

A two-story square pavilion with red tiles on Block Sixteen of Main Street drew countless sneers and jeers from passersby.

Just because this pavilion bears the sign "Heavenly Secrets Pavilion," the couplet on either side of the doorposts is even more eye-catching—

"With a wave of the hand, clouds turn to rain, controlling the rise and fall of all things!"

"With a wave of my arm, I overturn the heavens and earth, trampling on the sun, moon, and stars!"

Horizontal Inscription: Destiny in Hand.

"Can you control fate?" The passersby all sneered at the idea.

In the vast world, the strong are revered. Who wouldn't be intrigued by the mysteries of fate? Yet even the ancient great sages and earthly immortals dare not recklessly speculate on destiny.

"The will of heaven is unpredictable; defying it will surely bring divine retribution. To boast such grandiose claims, the master of this Tianji Pavilion must be a fool seeking attention!"

Passersby would occasionally be drawn to the couplets at the door.

But everyone he saw shook their heads and laughed mockingly.

Li Wen leaned against the doorway, watching the passing crowd with growing anxiety.

He was not originally from this world, and due to an accident, he fell into an unending slumber.

When I opened my eyes, I had already traversed to this world and merged my consciousness with a stone tablet named Heavenly Dao.

What is the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet? It encompasses the three thousand paths of this vast world. Past, present, and future, all things and all matters can be measured by the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet.

However, to calculate the days requires a certain price—equivalent exchange!

What is value?

Anything that the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet deems valuable can be exchanged for Heavenly Dao points.

The more mysterious the days one wishes to peer into, the more powerful one must be, and the more points of the Heavenly Dao are required.

The will of heaven is unfathomable; those who attempt to divine it will inevitably face divine retribution. This is the decree of fate.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao Stele could shield all auras. Anyone near the stele would be hidden beyond the Five Elements. If not for this, with Li Wen's current strength, even peeking at the lowest level of heavenly secrets would have resulted in him being struck to dust by the Heavenly Dao's thunder tribulation.

The aura shielded by the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet naturally also includes spiritual energy. Without spiritual energy, even the strongest person is nothing more than a weed. For Li Wen, as long as he remains near the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet, he is invincible in a certain sense.

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet is connected to the earth, channeling the energy of all things, and cannot be moved at all.

This also means that he won't be able to leave Dragon City until his strength has increased enough to withstand the thunder tribulation.

"It's so unfair, when others travel through time, they get to enjoy scenic spots and live like immortals, but for me, it's like being in a prison."

Longcheng is a small frontier town. Not to mention people with formidable cultivation, even practitioners are a rare sight.

To attract major clients and improve one's skills in such a small place is as difficult as climbing to the heavens.

Feeling the disdainful gazes from the crowd.

Li Wen immediately had a forehead full of black lines.

"If this continues, I'm afraid I'll never be able to leave Dragon City in this lifetime!"

"No, I need to think of a way to find the guest first."

"But I can't just reveal the secrets of fate on the street, can I?"

If you want to wait for a big client, you still have to wait for the right person to leave this place early. There's no use being anxious at the door.

Shaking his head, he returned to the pavilion, sat in the rocking chair, and brewed a pot of tea for himself.

At that moment, a brilliant divine rainbow suddenly flashed outside Dragon City, ultimately striking with pinpoint accuracy in front of the Tianji Pavilion.

The crowd on the street immediately scattered.

As the divine rainbow dissipated, it revealed a woman in white. She was tall and graceful, her face as radiant as a peach blossom, resembling an ethereal being from the mortal world, as beautiful as a painting of a nation-toppling beauty. Unfortunately, this peerless beauty had blood at the corner of her mouth, and the three-foot-long sword in her hand was broken in half.

His body exuded an ethereal aura, clearly indicating he had suffered serious injuries.

"I never expected that the Star-Plucking Elder would seclude himself in this small, remote branch of the Tian Sha Sect, waiting for the birth of the hundredth demon child... I was careless!"

The demon child was the spiritual guide for Zhaixing to ascend to the realm of immortality. Now that he had destroyed the demon child, it meant he had also extinguished Zhaixing Elder's chance at immortality. The latter would certainly not let him go.

Feeling the overwhelming presence approaching from behind, the girl let out a bitter smile.

"It seems that today I am destined to perish here."

I'm sorry, but it seems like there is no source text provided for translation. Could you please provide the text you would like translated?

"Miss Junyao, you've traveled a long way to Longcheng, why not come in for a cup of tea?"

"It is still a bit too early to make a hasty judgment on life and death right now."

Jun Yao's eyes widened instantly. When she looked up, she saw such an arrogant sign.

"With a wave of the hand, clouds turn to rain, controlling the rise and fall of all things!"

"With a wave of my arm, I overturn the heavens and earth, trampling on the sun, moon, and stars!"

"Are the days all in your hands?"

"Heaven's Secret Pavilion?"
