Chapter 226 Mysterious Man
"careful!"
The Third Miss grabbed hold of Mo Tianyou, who was about to fall. This little grandson, who had just turned a hundred days old, was incredibly gifted. While other children were still eating, drinking, and defecating, he could already walk unsteadily, supported by something.
"Be good, Tianyou, and walk slowly." She said lovingly.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside. An old man with a white beard and wearing a Taoist robe appeared at the gate of the palace, claiming to want to see the Son of Destiny.
"What's going on?" Mo Yunchen rushed over after hearing the news.
"Your Highness," the guard reported, "the old Taoist claims to be a hermit from Kunlun Mountain and says he came here under the guidance of heaven."
The Third Miss and Mo Yunchen looked at each other: Kunlun Mountain is a legendary fairy mountain, and the hermits there have always been mysterious.
"Let him in." Mo Yunchen said after pondering for a moment.
When the Taoist priest entered the hall, his eyes immediately fell on Mo Tianyou. He suddenly knelt down and kowtowed: "The Taoist priest greets the emperor!"
Everyone was stunned: How could this old Taoist show such great courtesy to a baby?
"What do you mean, senior?" Mo Yunchen asked.
"We can't reveal too much about the secrets of heaven," the old Taoist said mysteriously, "but I can tell you: this child has a great responsibility and will face a terrible disaster in the future!"
"What disaster?" The third young lady immediately became nervous.
"Although the power of destiny is strong, it will also attract covetousness," the old Taoist sighed. "A catastrophe will befall us soon. If we don't handle it properly, destiny may change hands!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn. At this moment, Mo Tianyou suddenly chuckled, and the power of destiny in his body unexpectedly emerged automatically, forming a circle of golden light.
"Huh?" The old Taoist showed a surprised expression, "Interesting..."
It turned out that the power of destiny not only did not reject the old Taoist, but instead actively resonated with him. For a moment, the hall was filled with golden light and strange phenomena.
"This..." Everyone was stunned.
The old Taoist suddenly laughed: "Good! Good! The destiny is indeed extraordinary!" After that, he took out a jade box from his sleeve, "This is a protective item given to the young prince by the old Taoist."
The third young lady took the jade box and saw a green jade pendant lying quietly inside. The jade pendant was crystal clear and had a faint glow.
"This is......"
"Kunlun Divine Jade," the old Taoist explained, "can help the power of destiny grow, and can also protect the safety of the young prince."
At this moment, the niece rushed over and said, "Third sister, something bad has happened! We just received a tip-off that some suspicious individuals are trying to find out about the little emperor's grandson!"
"Who is it?" Mo Yunchen's face darkened.
"It is said that..." the niece lowered her voice, "He is a traitor to the Tianji Pavilion!"
It turns out that within the Tianji Pavilion, there's a split. Some believe that the power of destiny should be confined to the mountains, not aiding the emperor. These individuals are secretly forming a clique and plotting something.
"Humph!" the old Taoist sneered, "How dare these apostates meddle with destiny!"
Before he finished speaking, a black light suddenly broke through the air! Before anyone could react, the old Taoist waved his hand, and the black light instantly disappeared.
"Come out," the old Taoist said calmly, "how can you hide and seek?"
A cold laugh came from outside the hall: "Old Taoist Kunlun, don't think that you are the one who monopolizes the destiny and that this is God's will!"
I saw a man in black walking out from the darkness, emitting a strange aura, which was completely opposite to the power of destiny.
"You who rebel against Heaven!" the old Taoist shouted sternly, "How dare you betray Heaven!"
"Heaven's Way?" The man in black sneered, "What bullshit Heaven's Way! The power of destiny should belong to the strongest!"
As he spoke, he suddenly launched an attack! Black light rained down like raindrops, and his target was Mo Tianyou!
"Looking for death!" the old Taoist shouted angrily, and a dazzling light suddenly burst out from his palm.
The two forces collided in mid-air, creating a deafening roar. But what was even more surprising was that the little grandson was not frightened at all. Instead, he waved his hands, as if to cheer for the old Taoist!
"This kid..." The old Taoist laughed, "He's a natural born battle maniac."
Taking advantage of the Taoist's distraction, the man in black suddenly changed his position, hoping to launch a sneak attack. However, he never expected that the power of destiny in Mo Tianyou would automatically protect him and form a golden barrier!
"What?!" The man in black was stunned. "How could the power of destiny..."
"This is God's will," the old Taoist said proudly. "If God chose him, there must be a reason. It seems that you traitors can't see through this truth after all."
After saying that, the old Taoist suddenly increased his strength and blasted out with a palm! The man in black couldn't dodge in time and was hit head-on by this palm, and immediately vomited blood.
"Catch him alive!" Mo Yunchen ordered.
But the man in black sneered: "Want to catch me? Not that easy!" After saying that, he suddenly took out a black pill from his arms.
"Not good!" The old Taoist's face changed drastically, "Don't let him..."
Before he could finish his words, the man in black had already swallowed the pill. His body suddenly swelled up, emitting an increasingly strong black aura.
"Retreat quickly!" The old Taoist stood in front of everyone, "This is a magic pill, it will..."
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the man in black's body exploded! A powerful shock wave swept around, and everyone was startled by this sudden change.
When the smoke and dust cleared, the man in black had vanished without a trace. Only a charred jade pendant remained on the ground, with the words "Tian Ji" engraved on it.
"These traitors," sighed the old Taoist priest, "have fallen into the devil's way for the sake of power."
The third lady hugged Mo Tianyou tightly: "Will they come again?"
"Yes," the old Taoist said solemnly, "Since these people have betrayed the Way of Heaven, they will definitely take risks. You must be careful and vigilant."
Mo Yunchen nodded: "I understand. Come, strengthen the defense! Also..." He looked at the old Taoist, "Senior, please stay and give me some advice."
"This..." The old Taoist hesitated for a moment, "Well, I will stay here for a while. It's a good opportunity to teach the young prince some methods of cultivation."
Thus, the Kunlun Taoist priest remained in the palace. Under his guidance, Mo Tianyou became increasingly adept at wielding the power of destiny. Although still a baby, he had already demonstrated astonishing talent.
"This child," the old Taoist said with satisfaction, "is truly a genius."
The third young lady smiled and said, "That's because the seniors taught me well."
"No," the old Taoist shook his head, "it's his own amazing understanding. The power of destiny is mysterious and unpredictable, but in his hands, it is as easy as a finger. This kind of talent, in all my years, is the first time I have seen it."
Mo Yunchen was also very pleased: "With the guidance of the senior, I feel relieved."
But the old Taoist sighed and said, "Your Highness, don't be too happy too soon. Although the traitors of the Tianji Pavilion are hateful, they are right: the power of destiny will indeed attract covetousness. This child's future will not be peaceful."
"It's okay," the third lady said firmly, "we are here to protect him."
The old Taoist nodded with satisfaction: "With parents like the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, this child is indeed blessed. However..." He paused, "You must also be prepared. This catastrophe may affect the entire world!"
