Chapter 1743

"What do you want from me?" Gu Chen went straight to the point.

The Great Prophet had been observing him in the dark and testing him. Then, he had let bygones be bygones. It would be strange if he didn't have any ulterior motives.

Only by understanding the other party's intentions could he decide if he could continue the conversation.

To be honest, Gu Chen didn't have much confidence at the moment. The old man had seen through his biggest secret, and Fang Shijie might have fallen into the Great Prophet's hands. He was obviously at a disadvantage.

He didn't have much leverage. He could only threaten the Great Prophet with the safety of the Luo Sect.

"Do you know when the Old Man noticed something was wrong with you?"

The Great Prophet didn't answer him directly.

"Of course it was during the entrance exam. In fact, I still don't know what happened in the Eight Trigrams."

Gu Chen recalled the strange things that had happened in the Eight Diagrams that day.

At first, everything was fine. He had seen through the mystery of the Eight Trigrams, so he could walk out easily.

However, when he walked to a lake that was similar to the one before him, something strange happened.

His reflection in the lake gave him a strange smile. Then, the area around his reflection was swallowed by the darkness. The lake water disappeared, leaving only a black hole.

It was also after that that he noticed someone spying on him. Everything was messed up.

"On the surface, the Eight Trigrams tests one's ability to understand scriptures like Knowing Destiny and understand the power of heaven and earth. However, there are other mysteries hidden within."

"The lake you saw in the Eight Trigrams is the Fate Lake. It actually exists, but what you saw was a projection of its power."

"The Fate Lake is the lifeline of the Luo Sect. It's connected to the Eight Trigrams to pick out those who are outstanding and fated with the Luo Sect."

"The Old Man lives on the Sacred Island all year round. One of the main reasons is to protect the Fate Lake. The Old Man has a spiritual connection with the Fate Lake. Something strange happened when you were taking the Fate Lake test. That's why the Old Man noticed you."

The Great Prophet spoke with fervor and assurance. Gu Chen understood after listening and secretly cursed his bad luck.

He had been careless. He had been in the illusion of the Eight Trigrams, but he had not realized that the illusion was real. The lake was actually a projection of real power.

He could understand why the Luo Sect had set it up this way, and he even understood why Fang Shijie was able to alarm all the Prophets in the Luo Sect.

The difficulty of walking out of the Eight Trigrams Diagram was actually not that high. With this as the standard for the assessment, only ordinary disciples would be accepted.

The Luo Men wanted geniuses, which was why they had the Life Lake test. He did not know the method of the Life Lake test, but Fang Shijie must have seen something fishy since he was able to alert the nine prophets.

Understanding this, Gu Chen became worried and asked, "Are you the only one who noticed my abnormality?"

If the nine prophets or even more people were connected to the Lake of Life, then he would be exposed even more thoroughly.

"The others aren't as closely connected as the Old Man is to his Life Lake, so you don't have to worry about this." The Great Prophet understood what Gu Chen was worried about, so he put him at ease.

"What's the matter with Dong Xianzhi? Why did he attack me? "Gu Chen did not believe it.

"He colluded with outsiders and indeed had evil intentions towards you, but he didn't know your secret. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been attacked," the Great Prophet explained.

"If he didn't know my secret, then why did he attack me? I'm just a disciple. Is it worth it for him to use the Minor Spiritual Spell? "

"You're related to Yuan Jie, and Yuan Jie was called to the Sacred Island by the Old Man. They must have attacked you because they wanted to understand the situation. Dong Zhi failed to recognize Mount Tai and ended up like this after attacking you. He deserved it. "The Great Prophet did not sympathize with Dong Xianzhi at all.

"They're coming for you?"

Gu Chen's eyes lit up as he caught the important information from the Great Prophet's words.

Dong Xianzhi was the Prophet of the Luo Sect, yet he dared to collude with outsiders and disrespect the Great Prophet. He suddenly understood the situation the Great Prophet was in!

"The Old Man is helpless that the Luo Sect has fallen to this state."

The Great Prophet sighed. Gu Chen could hear the sadness in his words.

"What's going on?" Gu Chen's expression turned serious.

"Ten years ago, a big shot came to the Luo Sect and asked for the Great Prophecy Spell."

The Great Prophet spoke of something that happened ten years ago.

Gu Chen recalled the information the dragonfly monster had gathered. His heart skipped a beat. That big shot seemed to have the same surname as him!

After eavesdropping on the general situation from Shao Heyang, he had asked the dragonfly monster to continue asking around. Unfortunately, the matter was clearly an internal secret of the Luo Sect, so he did not manage to find out anything.

According to Shao Heyang, the big shot with the surname Gu had a complicated relationship with the Luo Sect. His appearance ten years ago caused the death of many disciples in the Luo Sect, but he seemed to want the Luo Sect to follow him.

Such a close yet distant relationship, if one didn't know the inside story, they would be confused when they heard it.

Now that the Great Prophet said that the big shot came for the Great Prophecy Spell, Gu Chen immediately understood that the big shot from ten years ago did not come with good intentions.

"I heard that the Great Prophecy Spell has been lost for a long time. If it was still around, the Luo Sect would not have been able to hold on to it with its current strength. How could we have waited for him to come and get it?"

Gu Chen did not mince words. It was a fact that the Luo Sect had fallen, and he believed that the Great Prophet would not be so petty.

"The Great Prophecy Spell has indeed been lost. Everyone knows about it, but that big shot didn't believe it. It's because the Fate Lake was left behind by the founder of the Luo Sect. He believed that the complete Great Prophecy Spell was still hidden in the Fate Lake, so he had to get it. "The Great Prophet sounded melancholic.

"He wanted to make a move on the Fate Lake, but you refused, so you ended up fighting? I heard that many disciples of the Luo Sect died, "Gu Chen guessed.

"You've overestimated the Old Man. The Fate Lake is the lifeline of the Luo Sect, so it might contain the Great Prophecy Spell. Many people know about this, and it's not the first time someone has set their sights on it."

"Those who dare to set their sights on the Fate Lake are not ordinary people. The Old Man could not afford to offend them. To protect the entire Luo Sect, the Old Man never rejected their requests and allowed them to explore the Fate Lake."

It was embarrassing to talk about this. It was not easy for the Great Prophet to tell the truth.

"Since you've cooperated, why are there still so many casualties?" Gu Chen was puzzled.

"Exploring the Fate Lake is not an easy task. To find the Great Prophecy Spell, that big shot used the disciples of the Luo Sect to help him. That's why we lost so many people." The Great Prophet's tone turned cold when he mentioned this.

Gu Chen understood and felt sad for the Luo Sect.

No matter what, the Luo Sect was once a reputable force. Now, it had fallen to the point where its lifeline had to be explored by others. Even its disciples had to be used as cannon fodder. How miserable was this?

As the leader of the Luo Sect, the Great Prophet felt even more pained by this situation.

"Did you find the Great Prophecy Spell in the end?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Of course not. That person returned empty-handed, but he was not satisfied. He was sure that the Old Man was hiding something, so he used some tricks before he left."

"He said that because of him, the Luo Sect had suffered heavy casualties. As compensation, the Luo Sect could send suitable people to him, and he would take care of them. It sounded nice, but he was actually trying to rope in the upper echelons of the Luo Sect. He still hasn't given up on the Great Prophecy Spell. "

"Other than that, he also bought people's hearts. For example, Dong Zhi, who attacked you, was sent to spy on the Old Man."

Gu Chen thought that this person was not only powerful but also shrewd. He sighed and said, "Since you know that Dong Zhi is a spy, why didn't you get rid of him? Wouldn't it be disadvantageous for you to keep such a threat around? "

"If I kill Dong Zhi, there will be others. The enemy is too powerful, and the Old Man can't fight back. Moreover, if the Old Man did that, it would look like he has a guilty conscience. If he gets desperate, it doesn't matter if the Old Man dies, but I'm afraid that the legacy of the Luo Sect will be buried in the hands of the Old Man! "

Although the Great Prophet's tone was calm, Gu Chen could hear the heaviness and helplessness in his words.

He sympathized with the Great Prophet. He seemed to be high and mighty, but he was actually trapped here. One wrong step and he would be doomed eternally.

"After saying so much, I understand your situation. But what does it have to do with me?"

Gu Chen brought the conversation back to the main topic. He had initially asked what the Great Prophet wanted from him, but the Great Prophet had talked about the big shot. The two seemed to have no connection.

"During the entrance assessment, everything you experienced at the Lake of Life reminded the Old Man of the big shot from ten years ago. When he entered the Lake of Life ten years ago, the phenomenon that happened was very similar to yours. "

"This phenomenon has never happened to anyone who entered the Lake of Life. According to the Old Man's knowledge, the two of you are the only ones who have ever experienced it. It's hard for the Old Man not to think of the two of you. "

The Great Prophet said meaningfully.

When Gu Chen heard this, his pupils shrank, and his heart was in turmoil!

"What's the name of that person?"

Gu Chen took a deep breath, and he had a guess in his heart.

"The big shot's name is Gu Chen!"

When the Great Prophet answered, Gu Chen's eyes shone brightly like never before, and his body erupted with an uncontrollable murderous aura!

The Great Prophet sensed Gu Chen's abnormality, and he was sure that his guess was right. There was an unspeakable relationship between the two of them.

"Gu Chen! Gu Chen! I didn't expect you to be so used to this name. "

Gu Chen sneered, and the murderous intent in his heart churned like huge waves in the ocean.

"Great Prophet, does that Gu Chen look like me?"

As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, the lines on his face changed slightly, and his facial features changed back to his original appearance.

The Great Prophet looked at Gu Chen's true appearance for a long time, and he sighed. "They look exactly the same. It's like they were made from the same mold!"

When Gu Chen got the confirmation, he no longer had any doubts.

He didn't expect that the big shot who visited the Luo Sect ten years ago was actually Fang Yuan!

Fang Yuan had come here, but his goal was different from theirs. They were here for the Origin Clan's backup plan, but he was here for the Great Prophecy Spell.

The Origin Clan's backup plan was a secret, and only the family head knew about it. Gu Chen had asked Fang Shijie about it before.

Otherwise, if Fang Yuan knew about it, he would definitely cause trouble by entering the Dao World a hundred years earlier.

Because Fang Yuan didn't know about it, they could come to the Luo Sect with ease.

However, they didn't expect Fang Yuan to have already come to the Luo Sect in such a small world.

Because of the Great Fate Spell, their fates were already intertwined, and they would have to fight sooner or later.

Separated by ten years, Gu Chen sat on the sacred lake, feeling like he was fighting with Fang Yuan across space!
