Chapter 358 - Divination

"You can always change your mind," replied Wu Hong. "Well, my clone cannot stay long. Now that I have given you what I wanted, I'm leaving."

Then, she disappeared into tiny particles that blew with the wind.

Wang Wei smiled wryly at how his wife was too independent before doing his own things. He turned into a grey light before returning to Lou Cheng's body, sat up straight, and began to ponder.

He was in somewhat of a dilemma as he wondered whether to wait for his third senior sister to wake up. However, after thinking about it for a moment, decided to just leave as it was too much of a hassle to answer all her questions.

So, he left to find a secluded place; he was prepared to pass Heavenly Tribulation to enter the Divine Body Realm.

Not long after Wang Wei left, the spell he placed on Lan Ling was finally lifted and she woke up.

"Where am I?" she muttered as she looked at the surrounding. Then, her previous memories appeared in his mind and she hurriedly used her Divine Sense to check her body.

"My Primordial Yin is still intact," she sighed in relief before once again becoming confused. She remembered a blurry figure that came into the cave with her.

Logically speaking, that person should have also been affected, so, she wondered why she was intact.

"Well, why did that person somewhat resemble fifth junior brother?" muttered Lan Ling. "Could he be the one who saved me? Did he run away so that he did not give in to his bestial urges?"

A smile appeared on her face after thinking like this. If Wang Wei was here, he could have detected that the Infatuate Flower was still slowly influencing Lan Ling despite the seal he placed on it.

A few days ago, outside of the Secret Realm, Qilin Central Continent, Heaven Mystery Pavillion:

The sect protecting formation was activated, thus isolating the entire pavilion from the rest.

Inside a room designed with a black and white 8 Trigram pictures on the floor, there were many people, with two of them sitting cross-legged in the middle,

One was an old man with long white hair and beard; the old man had many people standing behind them, many of which were trembling either out of fury or fear.

On the opposite of the old man was a young man with white hair and a cold and indifferent look on his face. Dressed in a black robe, he seemed to be in perfect harmony with Yin and Yang, with Life and Death.

"Young Master Di Tian, what can I do for you?" asked the old man calmly while he caressed his long beard. Unfortunately, his slightly trembling hand displayed the fact that he was not as calm and collected as he seems on the surface.

After all, how could he be calm? That person just walked into the sect and someone activated their sect protecting formation without authorization. That meant that if he wanted, this person could completely destroy their sect with little effort.

"Recently, I had a feeling that something was wrong. So, I came for you to do a divination for me."

"Oh, I don't know what the young master wants to divine?"

"I want to know who will be the winner of the Heaven Will Battle in this generation; who will be the one sitting at the Throne."

Old Chu was silent for a moment, "Young Master, you must be kidding. Everyone knows that a Great Emperor is someone that is in-controlled of their destiny. So, how could we possibly divine who will be the final winner? The best we can do is deduce who has the highest chance."

"I know this," replied Di Tian calmly. "However, there is still a way."

"Please, do tell."

"In the Heaven Will Battle, no matter who is the final winner, he or she is still a Supreme Realm True Monarch until they absorbed the Heaven Will. What you have to divine is the single moment before that person acquires the Heaven Will, before they absorbed it.

"That way, you can predict with accuracy who is the final winner."

Old Chu momentarily stopped his action of caressing his beard, while the other people behind him looked at Di Tian with shock, and if he was crazy.

"Although you are theoretically correct, this is simply beyond my capabilities. Truth be told, I doubt any person could so precisely divine such a thing. Not to mention the punishment that will come afterward."

Di Tian did not say anything else but took out a book from his space ring.

"In the Beginning Emperor Era, Emperor Tianzi slaughtered an Innate Demon that was a massive turtle. From the back of that turtle, he comprehended the mystery of 8 Trigrams and created the [8 Trigram Myriad World Secret Guide].

"With this method, he was able to predict and prevented many calamities for the human race. The founder of you Heaven Mystery Pavillion got an incomplete version of this technique by chance.

"Using it, he was able to help Nine Yin Emperor in her early years, and once she proved the Dao, she help deduce this method to a higher level while also refining an Immortal Artifact for you guys.

"With the complete technique, you should be able to satisfy my request."

Then, Di Tian seemed to remember something and took out a counting abacus.

"I will lend this Emperor Artifact to you so that it can replace the [8 Trigram Turtle Shell]."

The room became quiet for a moment before Old Man Chu took the things offered to him; he knew that he did not have much of a choice. This person in front of him seemed to have the power to eradicate their sect.

The only way they could survive the current situation was to wake up the Immortal Venerable of their sect. Unfortunately, with the Di Clan's background, a single Immortal Venerable was nothing.

So, for the next few days, Old Man Chu comprehended the scripture in his hand to prepare for the divination. Since the original technique he cultivated was derived from this one, it did not take long for him to learn.

Then, he began his divination.

"Young master, Di Tian, you should be aware beforehand that there is the possibility of this not working."

"As long as you try your best, I will not blame you."

Nodding his head, Old Man Chu began his divination as he used the Emperor Artifact to amplify his abilities. His eyes turned all white as his mind floated to the river of destiny. Then, he saw a scene.

A young man with white hair stood with many others at his feet, exuding a powerful aura. He reached out his hand to take a golden ball of light. However, right when he was about to do so, the image suddenly change.

It turned into a grey hair young man, standing in that same position, with countless people at his feet, reaching for that golden ball.

Then, the image of the two different people flicked back and forth before everything was gone.

Old Man Chu returned to reality as he breathed out loud.

"So, what was the outcome?" asked Di Tian.

"It is uncertain."

"What do you mean?"

"What I saw was you reaching to take the Heaven Will, however, at the last minute, the picture changed to the young master of the Dao Opening Sect."

"How is that possible? There can only be one final winner."

"I do not know either. The best way I can interpret it is the fact that you were the final winner, however, Sacred Son Wang Wei must have done something to reverse his fate."

Truth be told, Old Man Chu did not know what he was talking about. However, he did not want to anger this Killing God next to him, so he quickly found a way to explain his vision.

After hearing this, Di Tian frowned. He knew that divination was not always reliable, so different interpretation was possible.

However, he could not understand the reason he would fail in the Heaven Will Battle. He knew how powerful he would be by then.

He was born near the end of the Emperor Beginning Era and was once of the greatest genius of that era, cultivated by the entire human race in their battle against the Innate Demon Gods.

When he was in the wound, Emperor Tianzi detected that he was a key figure in the war and was selected as the key figure to cultivate. So, even before he was born, his body was washed away by both Emperor blood essence and Primordial Gods and Innate Demons as a way to set up his foundation.

And after he was born, he listened to countless Emperors' teachings and preached the Dao. Many precious and rare resources that would make all the Emperor Lineages fight a full-scale war were used by him for his cultivation.

He was expected to be another Eternal Emperor of the human race to lead them in that era.

Unfortunately, an accident occurred to him and his wife before he managed to prove the Dao, and Di Tian was forced to reincarnate.

The source of his strength did not diminish because of this, but instead, he became more powerful after reincarnation.
