Chapter 2334 The Curiosity of the Jian Family Is Innate

Before him stood an ordinary yet spirited old man; Ye Yuan could not even sense any fluctuation of divine essence from him.

If thrown into a crowd, he would never attract the slightest attention.

He was like air, seemingly present yet as if nonexistent.

Ye Yuan found it hard to connect this old man with the renowned sovereign, the Heavenly Mystery Celestial Emperor.

Clearly, the Heavenly Mystery Celestial Emperor had reached the realm of returning to simplicity in the path of the Dao!

As Ye Yuan studied the Heavenly Mystery Celestial Emperor, the latter was also studying him.

"Little fellow, you seem quite curious about me," the Heavenly Mystery Celestial Emperor said with a warm smile.

Hearing this, Ye Yuan also smiled and said, "Senior is probably the most mysterious celestial powerhouse in the Tongtian Realm. Isn't it natural for a junior like me to be a bit curious?"

The Heavenly Mystery Celestial Emperor said meaningfully, "Heh, in my eyes, little fellow, you are also very mysterious!"

Ye Yuan's heart tightened; the Heavenly Mystery Celestial Emperor's words carried hidden meaning!

Could it be that he had discovered something?

Seeing Ye Yuan's expression, the Heavenly Mystery Celestial Emperor laughed heartily and said, "You need not be so tense. Which genius with an unpredictable aura doesn't harbor a great secret? It's just that you seem even more mysterious than them, so I am quite interested in you."

"Unpredictable aura?" Ye Yuan asked in confusion.

Back then, Jian Hongxuan had said he possessed an imperial aura; what was this unpredictable aura?

The Jian family's techniques were very mysterious, and Ye Yuan did not understand them well.

Jian Yunxin explained, "Our human race is vast in number; with my father's methods, the fates of most people can be predicted. However, the heavenly mechanism is hard to fathom; some people's fates transcend the Heavenly Dao! The fates of such people are difficult even for my father to foresee. Those with this kind of fortune possess an unpredictable aura! This is why our Jian family could not see your fate with the aura observation technique before!"

Ye Yuan suddenly understood; no wonder the Jian family had been blind to him—this was the reason.

The heavenly mechanism cannot be fathomed; how can it be seen with mortal eyes?

The Heavenly Mystery Celestial Emperor said, "Children of unpredictability lie outside the operation of the Heavenly Dao! Even the Heavenly Dao cannot grasp their fates. Their talents are often astonishing, making them the pinnacle of their era!"

Ye Yuan frowned and said, "According to what you say, Senior, there should be many children of unpredictability. Since our human race has a huge population and so many highly talented individuals, we should be extremely strong. Why are we so weak now?"

The Heavenly Mystery Celestial Emperor sighed with melancholy, looking straight at Ye Yuan and said, "If even the Heavenly Dao cannot control their fate, how could the Heavenly Dao allow them to live in this world?"

Ye Yuan shuddered, as if understanding something.

Children of unpredictability have extremely high talent and abundant fortune, and are thus intolerable to the Heavenly Dao!

Therefore, the Heavenly Dao will use various means to eliminate these existences to ensure the normal operation of the Heavenly Dao.

If so, wouldn't he have to face the sanctions of the Heavenly Dao?

"Thus, over these ten billion years, the geniuses of the human race have been as numerous as fish in a river, but those who truly survive are few and far between! Of course, those who survive are all extremely powerful. Since you are a child of unpredictability, you must have experienced this deeply. Your encounters are probably much more perilous than those of ordinary martial artists," said the Heavenly Mystery Celestial Emperor.

Ye Yuan recalled his own experiences and thought that this was indeed the case.

He had come this far, enduring countless dangers.

Fortunately, he had survived them all.

"Senior, you didn't call me here just to tell me this, did you?" Ye Yuan suddenly said.

The Heavenly Mystery Celestial Emperor smiled and said, "Didn't I just say that you are also very mysterious? In these hundred years, I have seen countless children of unpredictability, but you are the only one who has achieved so much at such a young age! Therefore, I am also very curious about you."

Ye Yuan hesitated and said, "Senior wants to... perform the aura observation technique on me?"

"Heh, the curiosity of the Jian family is innate," the Heavenly Mystery Celestial Emperor said with a smile.

"But didn't you say I have an unpredictable aura? Won't your eyes have a problem?" Ye Yuan asked with some concern.

Only then did he understand where the Jian family's curiosity came from.

It turned out to be inherited from their family's ancestor.

However, he was somewhat worried about the Heavenly Mystery Celestial Emperor, because he was different from others.

He carried the Minor Tongtian Mountain, which possessed boundless power.

Even in the presence of the Heavenly Mystery Celestial Emperor, Ye Yuan was still a bit worried.

Hearing this, the Heavenly Mystery Celestial Emperor laughed heartily and said, "Little fellow, you are the first to look down on me like this! You should know that the aura observation technique was created by me. Others cannot see an unpredictable aura, but how could I fail to see it? The Heavenly Dao is ethereal, but one can always discern a trace."

Ye Yuan thought for a moment and nodded, "Since that's the case, Senior, please proceed with the technique."

The Heavenly Mystery Celestial Emperor nodded slightly, and his aura suddenly changed.

Ye Yuan shuddered, feeling as if he had arrived in another world.

This world belonged to the Heavenly Mystery Celestial Emperor.

Here, he felt as if he had been stripped bare, with no secrets left hidden.

Ye Yuan was shocked—was this the power of the strongest who could spy on the Heavenly Dao?

The Heavenly Mystery Celestial Emperor's eyes glowed with a milky white light.

This light shone on Ye Yuan, seeming to see through his secrets.

But at that moment, a sudden change occurred!

Out of a clear sky, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky and directly struck into this space!

The Heavenly Mystery Celestial Emperor's expression changed drastically, and all the hair on his body stood on end.

Without time to think, the Heavenly Mystery Celestial Emperor suddenly pointed a finger at the sky, and an astonishing aura erupted.

At this moment, the strength of the First Celestial Emperor was displayed to the fullest.

Ye Yuan before him also changed expression drastically; he felt that this finger from the Heavenly Mystery Celestial Emperor could punch a hole in the sky!

This finger was too powerful!

Boom!

With a loud noise, space collapsed, and the mansion was directly reduced to rubble!

The Heavenly Mystery Celestial Emperor spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at Ye Yuan in shock, speechless for a long time.

What had just happened was too shocking!

When he had used the aura observation technique to look at Ye Yuan, it was as if he had seen an eye!

That eye seemed to pierce through illusion and look at him from some hidden place.

Meeting that eye's gaze, he felt as if he were about to die.

He felt... as if he were looking at the Heavenly Dao!

How could such a thing happen?

Children of unpredictability are intolerable to the Heavenly Dao.

But why did he feel as if he were looking at the Heavenly Dao?

This feeling was too contradictory!

And this thunderbolt from a clear sky was a warning from the Heavenly Dao!

Spying on the Heavenly Dao is a great act of rebellion!

Naturally, the Heavenly Dao would issue a warning!

It was also because the Heavenly Mystery Celestial Emperor was extremely powerful; if it had been anyone else, they would have been directly struck to ashes!

How could he know that the Minor Tongtian Mountain on Ye Yuan was essentially a miniature Heavenly Dao?

Spying on Ye Yuan's secrets was equivalent to spying on the Heavenly Dao.

How could such an act be tolerated by the Heavenly Dao?

The Heavenly Mystery Celestial Emperor possessed immense power; since attaining the Dao, he had never encountered such a situation.

Today, he was truly frightened.
