"Feng Yuxiang. I am a Divine Beast that carries the bloodline of a phoenix." Feng Yuxiang gave a brief introduction about herself.
"The rest of you should introduce yourself as well." Yuan looked at the others.
"Lan Yingying. I am a Divine Beast as well— a Divine Serpent."
Dong Ye, who already knew that Feng Yuxiang and Lan Yingying were Divine Beasts, nodded his head. While they can hide their identity from cultivators around their level, Dong Ye was an Immortal who has existed for millions of years. It was simply impossible to fool someone like him.
"A Phoenix and a Serpent, huh? It sure brings back memories." Dong Ye couldn't help but break out a smile on his face when he recalled the Immortal Monarch and his Divine Beast followers.
"The Immortal Monarch?" Yuan asked out of curiosity.
He nodded, "Do you remember?"
"No, but I am aware of his existence."
"His Divine Beasts were always fighting with each other over his attention." Dong Ye chuckled, "It caused the Mast— Young Master plenty of headaches. However, they were all reliable and loyal, which sort of balances things out."
Yuan suddenly remembered something and said, "Speaking of the Immortal Monarch… Do you know how to upgrade his bloodline? What about the Heaven Refining Physique?"
"The answers you seek are within the Nameless Emperor's Tomb."
"The Name Emperor's Tomb… Did I build it?" Yuan then asked.
Dong Ye smiled and said, "You will find out once you go inside."
Seeing how Dong Ye won't give him any direct answers, Yuan decided to give up and to wait to enter the Name Emperor's Tomb.
Dong Ye suddenly shifted his gaze to Xiao Hua, whose tiny body instinctively trembled.
"An exile, huh? The Young Master called you Xiao Hua, so you must be from the Asura Family. Do you believe in fate?" He asked while staring at her intensively.
Xiao Hua silently nodded.
"Then do you believe someone— a mere human can control fate?"
Xiao Hua raised an eyebrow and said, "Nobody can control fate."
"What if someone has such ability?"
"That's impossible. No human can have such an ability."
Dong Ye smiled and shifted his gaze back to Yuan.
"Believe it or not, someone out there has the ability to control fate, and he's standing in this room as we speak."
Xiao Hua and the others turned to look at Yuan, who was quite confused.
"You may not realize it, but you're subconsciously controlling fate."
"The Young Master is subconsciously controlling fate? How does that even work?" Feng Yuxiang asked.
