Chapter 636: Chapter 319: Trial of the Tai Xuan Tower

Standing in front of the door for a moment, Lin Yi slowly stepped into the Heaven’s Extremity Pavilion; was it not called Heaven’s Mystery Pavilion because they were worried about revealing too much of heaven’s secrets and thus not meeting a good end?

He felt that the cultivators within the Heaven’s Extremity Pavilion could only divine heaven’s secrets at best, unlike his own title of Predict Crisis, which allowed him to completely see through heaven’s secrets and predict the crises to come.

Some diviners, in order to divine the accurate secrets of heaven, needed to pay a tremendous price, yet, up until now, the use of his Predict Crisis title had produced no negative effects, which he had to say was somewhat strange.

However, this curiosity was just a fleeting thought in his mind, and Lin Yi would not delve into it. He considered that rather than worrying about it, he might as well cultivate; when the time was ripe, everything would become clear.

After entering the Heaven’s Extremity Pavilion, Lin Yi sensed traces of a formation, seemingly with a concealing function; it seemed to be the reason why he was the only customer in the store, which was rather considerate for others.

After all, some people who came to buy information did not want to be seen by others.

An Huashen cultivator stood behind the counter and when he saw Lin Yi coming in, smiled and bowed with a cupped fist, “This Daoist friend, welcome to Heaven’s Extremity Pavilion, may I know what kind of information you wish to purchase?”

“It is my first time visiting your establishment; could you perhaps introduce me to it?” Lin Yi returned the greeting with a cupped fist, speaking calmly, not concealing the fact that it was his first visit.

The Huashen cultivator smiled and responded, “Our establishment conducts divinations of auspicious and ominous events, locates people and answers queries, recommends cultivation techniques…”

Lin Yi, after hearing this, couldn’t help but nod. No wonder after inquiring around, many cultivators recommended this Heaven’s Extremity Pavilion; from the service introduction, it seemed very down-to-earth and not like some fortune-tellers who would talk grandly about defying fate and changing destiny.

“I want to buy information about the Tai Xuan Tower.”

The Huashen cultivator looked at Lin Yi and slowly said, “Daoist friend must be the ascender who received the token bestowed by Elder Peng. Elder Thunder Rhyme from the Tai Xuan Dao Palace, following Elder Peng Tianwu’s instructions, offered you two choices of trials, and among them, there is the trial of the Tai Xuan Tower, am I not mistaken?”

“You are correct, but I originally thought the Heaven’s Extremity Pavilion was the kind of secret place that remained hidden in plain sight; I didn’t expect it to also flaunt its own information gathering abilities,” Lin Yi remarked lightly.

Such non-secretive matters could be discovered with a little inquiring, yet this Huashen cultivator insisted on showing off; was it just to see others’ astonished reactions?

The Huashen cultivator’s expression faltered, turning slightly embarrassed; then, seemingly receiving a message, he hastily said, “Please enter the room, someone inside will provide the information you need.”

Lin Yi nodded, showing no hesitation, activated the Eye of Emptiness, and then directly pushed open the room door. Under the effect of Predict Crisis, as long as he acted normally, there would be no danger, unless he courted death by making last-minute changes, like venturing alone into the Demon Tribe’s territory.

It was similar to ascending to the higher realms; there would be no danger if he didn’t observe and comprehend everything within the Ascension Tunnel. If he insisted on watching, that would be courting death.

After entering the room, the scene before his eyes changed once again, and as he came to his senses, the view suddenly opened up, revealing a bamboo forest in front of him, with a Void Refinement cultivator sitting leisurely on a patch of grass by a lake, leisurely fishing.

Under the effect of the Eye of Emptiness, Lin Yi already knew that this was not an illusion or anything similar, but that he had been teleported to another place. Although the traces of the teleportation array were very covert, they could not escape the detection of the Eye of Emptiness.

These were just minor tricks; if the Heaven’s Extremity Pavilion had something like a Sumeru mustard seed world, that would truly be an exhibition of great divine power.

Considering the information that the Tai Xuan Dao Palace controlled all the teleportation arrays in various cities, it was impossible for the Heaven’s Extremity Pavilion to create an array that could teleportation outside the city, which meant that he should still be inside the Tai Xuan Divine City.

“Eastern Daoist Friend, please take a seat.”

Lin Yi didn’t stand on ceremony, seated himself in another chair without any hurry to inquire, and from his Storage Ring, took out several fishing rods and started fishing.

Those rods were made by him specifically, modeled after Earth’s fishing rods, made of various extremely flexible metals, forged through refinement.

He didn’t inscribe any formations or the like on them, though; fishing was about capturing a certain ambiance, and using any tricks would defeat the purpose. It would be easier to simply use a spell to catch all the fish.

During his leisure time in the Dan God Secret Realm, he would also take Zhi Ling and the others to fish in the lake near his Cave Mansion, although they usually caught only large water beasts.

The koi that had helped him when he first entered the Secret Realm had later awakened their bloodline under his influence and were now receiving teaching in the Spirit Beast Dojo—I wonder if they would seek out the territories of the Sea Tribe after their ascension.

The Void Refinement cultivator also noticed the special rods Lin Yi was using, and his expression shifted subtly, then he continued fishing.

Lin Yi initially just used the Spirit Wood Technique to check the fish in the lake, selected a rod accordingly, and then took out some bait that he had carefully prepared.

Besides that, during the entire fishing process, he didn’t use any abilities of a cultivator, including using Spiritual Power to attract fish or sensing their position, relying entirely on his own skill. Soon, he had caught several fish.

Meanwhile, the Void Refinement cultivator beside him hadn’t caught anything in a long while but a water snake—indeed, some anglers could catch anything but fish.
