Chapter 281: Candle Dragon Venerable's Intelligence_2
Madman.
Gu Jianlin heard the naughty monkey's last sentence and couldn't help but press his hand to his forehead.
"What is the Heavenly Destiny Jade Scroll?"
He asked curiously, "And what is an entry?"
"You'll understand once you take a look."
Lu Qingqing wasn't sure how to explain: "The Cloud Bright Secret Treasure is an incredibly mysterious trove. They possess the ability of foreknowledge. As for the Heavenly Destiny Jade Scroll, it's somewhat similar to the Destiny Mud Tablet. The entry I received on my scroll is 'turning the tide,' which means I'll face difficulties soon, but a great breakthrough will follow."
"That's how it is. Within the Cloud Bright Secret Treasure, there's a special Extraordinary Creature, a being from the Bai Ze Clan, that possesses the ability to foresee the future. Based on your destiny, it will gift you a Jade Scroll."
The Nightmare interjected: "We've all already claimed ours; you're the only one left. The Ancient Forbidden Curses you need to learn after advancing to the Superdimensional Level are also inside the Cloud Bright Secret Treasure, including the method of ascension and items like the Mythical Weapon."
"You'll understand whether what we're saying is true or not once you've been to the Cloud Bright Secret Treasure."
Lord Meng paused briefly: "After collecting the Heavenly Destiny Jade Scroll, we'll need to gather for a meeting. The President invited an expert from Laojun Mountain to help us analyze strategies, and you're specifically required to attend."
Down the corridor at the end of the resting area, Omega individuals emerged from time to time, their expressions all brimming with excitement and joy, indicating they had obtained abundant rewards from the Cloud Bright Secret Treasure.
"The President?"
Gu Jianlin's expression turned a bit strange, and he nodded slightly: "Got it."
He remembered that the Cloud Bright Secret Treasure belonged to the Judgement Court.
A rare opportunity to fleece them.
He took out his phone without hesitation and calmly said, "Taixu, lead the way."

The colossal steel monstrosity named Deep Blue was unimaginably massive. After walking along the metallic corridor for approximately 200 meters, Gu Jianlin finally arrived at a space that resembled a library, faint mist lingering in the surroundings.
Following Taixu's guidance, Gu Jianlin made his way there, keenly sensing the dimensional fluctuations.
The place was akin to the Soul Skywell, existing as a small, independent space.
At the entrance sat an elderly man, his white hair stark against the dim light. He held an ancient book of indiscernible content in his hands. Noticing the approaching footsteps, he raised his cloudy eyes.
The tortoiseshell glasses he wore flashed with a glint of cold sharpness: "Mr. San!"
Gu Jianlin glanced at him, his gaze turning indifferent.
This old man was clad in the unique Holy Robe of the Judgement Court Saints.
"Ding."
His phone immediately displayed a notification.
"Judgement Court, Second Saint, Ye Dao."
"Seventh Rank Yin Jun, a Holy Land Level Ascender, reportedly ready with the materials and ritual to ascend to the Eighth Rank Zhu Ming at any moment. Obsessed with sword skill, he was once the top swordsman of the Omega Sequence in his youth."
"He lacks the Heavenly Person aptitude and is not an Evolver."
Impressive, this guy was quite strong.
"What do you want?"
Gu Jianlin said flatly.
Despite his prowess, this guy was destined to be discarded into the dust of history.
After all, the powers of the Heavenly Person aptitude and of an Evolver were simply overwhelming.
"I can tell you're quite wary of me."
The Ye Dao Saint said casually: "I understand the grudge between you and the Judgement Court. It's nothing more than factional in-fighting. As for Zhang Xuzhi's incident, he deserved to be executed in public. Privately, your act of killing him was justifiable. Were I in your shoes, I'd have done the same, though I wouldn't have had the guts."
"And as for whether Lord Rhein and Dusk were colluding, that matter can no longer be proven, and it has nothing to do with me."
He paused. "I only care about one thing."
Gu Jianlin narrowed his eyes.
"Who was that mysterious girl by your side yesterday?"
The Ye Dao Saint asked, "With such unparalleled beauty, she couldn't possibly be an unknown figure."
Gu Jianlin thought to himself that it seems people really do vary in perception.
His teacher could discern the truth at a mere glance.
But this saint mistook it for someone else.
"What do you intend to do?"
He asked coldly.
"I have no intentions. I simply want to spar sword skills with her. I'll suppress my rank."
The Ye Dao Saint said in a deep voice: "I know you don't trust me, and I won't insist on anything. However, I hope you'll pass my wish along. If she agrees, I'm willing to help you with one matter within the bounds of my principles. I've heard her sword skills are as if guided by ghosts and gods, rare in the annals of history."
Gu Jianlin thought to himself, this man really is shameless.
"Heh, this old fellow has good taste. Yet, the art of a Lord with the sword, how could it be comprehended by mere mortals?"
Jiuyin said haughtily, "Everyone who has seen the Lord wield a sword becomes infatuated. It's hardly surprising!"
"Got it. But I can't give you any guarantees."
Gu Jianlin replied calmly.
The Ye Dao Saint nodded slightly: "Thank you! As expected of the King of Qing's student, such poise!"
With a wave of his hand, the mist dispersed, and the serene library came into view.
This place looked like an old archival library. Towering bookshelves were lined with countless ancient books, some even floating mid-air, seemingly imbued with their own spirituality.
Of course, that wasn't the main focus.
The real focus was the three-eyed white tiger sprawled on the polished floor!
It was an enormous creature, its body covered in impeccably white and smooth fur. Black stripes were arranged in a beautifully rhythmic pattern, and a gold metal ring decorated with archaic engravings adorned its tail.
