After the sphere of light flickered and words appeared, this time two lots flew out,

[Moderately good lot, cultivate your heart silently, neither hurried nor impatient, go with the flow, you can gain one Fifth Grade Opportunity, no danger, no future trouble, auspicious.]

[Perfectly neutral lot, actively connect with the Tang Imperial Court, seek an opportunity for advancement, you can gain one Sixth-Rank Opportunity, currently no danger, but hidden future troubles, entangled karma, average.]

These two lots... After reading them, Lei Jun felt a bit uneasy inside,

The lots were so considerate.

The better, moderately good lot really suited him.

*But it went so smoothly in my favor, this luck was so good it made even me uneasy.*

*Lei Jun grumbled inwardly, but his face showed no change, only a hint of regret,* "These past days my master had dispatched me for official errands, so I can only regret having missed it."

Lin Shan nodded, "Business comes first, you go ahead and handle your matters."

After sending off Lin Shan, Lei Jun continued his regular routine, working in the High Merit Pavilion with his master Yuan Mobai on sect affairs during the day, and focusing on his own cultivation at night.

As the appointed time drew near, more and more people from the Imperial Court arrived early at Dragon Tiger Mountain to make preparations for welcoming the guests.

Lei Jun cooperated normally with the reception as part of his duties, but privately rarely interacted with anyone from the Tang Imperial Court.

That night, close to midnight, Lei Jun paused his personal cultivation, completed all necessary protection and preparations, and immersed his mind and soul deep within his Spiritual Soul.

Inside the True One Altar Cave Heaven, derived from the Celestial Master Seal, a page of the Celestial Book floated in mid-air, shimmering with radiance.

Lei Jun's consciousness entered, as if he stepped into a dreamy starry universe.

These past two days, he had made an arrangement with Riyao, YueYao, and Mu Yao to "go online" together again tonight.

Lei Jun arrived a bit late.

After his Taibai Metal Scepter lit up, he swept the starry sky and saw that Taiyang Riyao, Taiyin Yueyao, and Age Star Muyao were already shining, and the other three had already arrived.

But at this moment, none of the three said a word.

Lei Jun kept quiet too.

*Because tonight, three other Luminaries had actually also lit up.*

*Before, Mercury Water Luminary, Mars Fire Radiance, and Saturn Earth Radiance had all remained dim, signifying no owners—did they finally have hosts now?*

*I'd thought they'd appear one by one, but all three showed up together... Lei Jun pondered.*

*Back when I arrived, seems like I also joined at the same time as Mu Yao.*

Lei Jun glanced at Shuiyao, Fire Yao, and Earth Guardian, then looked back at Riyao, Yueyao, and Muyao.

"Three new friends have arrived, welcome, welcome." As usual, Yueyao was the first to greet them.

A voice came from the Mars Fire Radiance, "Where is this place, and who are you all?"

In that starry sky, everyone's voice sounded identical—it was even impossible to tell if they were male or female.

Still, it was possible to hear that Fire Yao had a pretty lively tone.

Lei Jun simply kept cool.

*Just like the old saying—behind a 'screen,' who could tell if you're talking to a person or a dog?*

Just like when he and Mu Yao met, Yueyao again welcomed the three newbies and introduced the situation here.

Lei Jun, along with Riyao and Mu Yao, said nothing, letting Yueyao speak for them.

However, just as everyone was chatting, Mars Fire Radiance suddenly blurted, "I've got something urgent, gotta go now, catch up with you all later!"

With that, the star representing Fire Yao quickly faded, showing its owner had logged out.

Lei Jun found this rather interesting.

*Given the numbers matching the Seven Luminaries, Mars Fire Radiance was very likely linked to Celestial Book Six.*

Lei Jun recalled that he'd talked before with Xu Yuanzhen about how she had once slipped past a page of the Celestial Book,

That was Celestial Book Six.

*Now that page had a new host, I wondered who it was.*

*Judging by their behavior, they seemed a bit impatient and immature—but was that real or just an act?*

By comparison, Shuiyao and Earth Guardian behaved more like Lei Jun and Mu Yao did back then, staying quiet to observe how things went first.

Lei Jun and the other three "old birds" didn't mind and continued with their routine.

"Now everyone's here, I have a proposal, let's work together and explore the universe within the Book."

Yueyao smiled, "Of course, let's wait for Fire Yao, all seven together, advancing and retreating as one. Today, let's do what we always do, focus on sharing and mutual help. What do you all think?"

Riyao, "Let's get started. I have the same old question, does anyone know the whereabouts of Blood River Sect Leader Wei Ancheng?"

The news had already spread, Wei Ancheng had surfaced suddenly up north in Youzhou, directly causing Master Liaoyuan, the Abbot of Bodhi Temple, to pass away.

Riyao still asked the same now, clearly inquiring about Wei Ancheng's next moves after assassinating Master Liaoyuan.

Yueyao, "The information I want to know is, does anyone have news on the mysterious expert who ambushed the former Celestial Master Li Qingfeng on the Grand River six years ago, and attacked Dragon Tiger Mountain's Li Hongyu today—who are they really?"

Lei Jun, on hearing this, was stirred inside.

Then he heard Mu Yao jump in, "I'm interested in that person's identity too."

Lei Jun finally spoke, "Same goes for me."

The new Earth Guardian, "As for those four questions, I don't know the answers and can't help."

Shuiyao also chimed in, "No idea."

Yueyao laughed, "Our two new friends still seem a bit reserved, but that's fine, everyone needs time to adjust. If you have questions, just speak up anytime, whether publicly or in private. As I mentioned earlier, the basics here are honesty and equality."

Shuiyao, "Thanks for your courtesy, much appreciated."

Though he said that, he quieted down.

Earth Guardian then pondered aloud, "I have a question... The Celestial Master Mansion at Dragon Tiger Mountain recently erupted in internal strife again—though it was sudden, there were signs if you look hard enough. The root cause was, of course, the dispute within the mansion pitting Li Wai against others; but the trigger for this recent clash was that Li Hongyu and Tang Xiaotang broke through to the Eightfold Heaven Realm one after another."
