Chapter 210: Chapter 153: Kill the Damned Zong and Comprehend the Heaven Rank Secret Technique! (5k)_2

[Damned Zong began to beg for mercy, and you inquired about the Cultivation World and higher realms.][However, Damned Zong was slippery with his words, providing information that was half true and half false.]

[Knowing that you ultimately couldn't extract any useful information from Damned Zong, you decisively killed him and then began to inspect what remained in the shattered Storage Magical Artifact.]

[Regrettably, the Storage Magical Artifact was destroyed, and most of the magic artifacts and Divine Skills therein had been ruined.]

[Fortunately, the Jade Slip that recorded the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique was only half-broken, and you successfully found the latter half of the technique, the art of divining good and bad fates and fortunes!]

Su Xing shifted his gaze away from the simulation panel and sighed,

"That Damned Zong truly was troublesome!"

"Even though he was no match for me, he was still so adept at staying alive. I actually pursued him for an entire month before finally killing him..."

"Such lifesaving measures are truly worthy of Damned Zong, who was chased for over a thousand years and eventually scraped through to the Divinity Transformation Stage!"

At the same time, Su Xing felt somewhat regretful that the Storage Magical Artifact had been destroyed again by Damned Zong.

Damned Zong, knowing he was going to die, naturally didn't want to give Su Xing any useful information from the Cultivation World, not even a single magic treasure.

Thinking about the magic treasures and Divine Skills consumed by Damned Zong, as well as those he destroyed, Su Xing's heart bled!

After a moment of contemplation, Su Xing murmured,

"With my current strength, although I can kill Damned Zong, I still can't achieve an instant kill!"

"And it's because of this, Damned Zong had the time to flee... even destroying his magic artifacts just before death!"

"To fully obtain the treasures within Damned Zong's Storage Magical Artifact... I'm afraid I must achieve a one-hit kill, not giving him the slightest chance to react!"

Su Xing sighed softly and shook his head.

But for a Divinity Transformation Stage great Cultivator like Damned Zong, with numerous lifesaving methods, achieving an instant kill was easier said than done.

Even if Su Xing's Qi Refining Cultivation reached completion in the Divinity Transformation Stage, he probably still couldn't do it...

"Perhaps, after breaking through to the Broken Void Realm and then combining it with the Earth Sword... could I catch Damned Zong off guard and kill him instantly?"

Su Xing pondered thoughtfully.

He originally intended to kill Damned Zong and seize his treasures, but found that the fellow was too wily, leaving him no worthwhile loot.

Therefore, there might be little to no benefit in killing Damned Zong before a breakthrough in power could be achieved in the short term.

Thinking this, Su Xing finally murmured,

"However... although the Storage Magical Artifact exploded, it left behind the latter half of the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique. Maybe I can try learning it?"

A thought struck Su Xing.

He had long coveted Damned Zong's Divination technique for forecasting his own fortunes and calamities.

The last time, the latter half was destroyed by Damned Zong, but this time he could not miss this opportunity.

"Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique... If I combine that with my natural talent for seeking fortune and averting disaster, wouldn't that be invincible?"

So thought Su Xing, as he looked toward the simulation panel.

[You collected what remained of Damned Zong's broken magic artifacts, then took out the half Jade Slip that recorded the technique, and entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land to prepare for healing.]

[In the following month, you activated The Great Wisdom in Foolishness talent to keep yourself in a foolish state while you recovered.]

[A month later, with your injuries largely healed, you took out the Jade Slip, ready to learn the latter half of the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique!]

Seeing this, a thought flashed through Su Xing's mind, as he silently commanded,

"Use immersive simulation feature, duration 72 hours!"

[Ding, you have successfully activated the immersive simulation feature, duration 72 hours, spending 7.2 million energy points, with a remaining energy balance of 485.43 million points.]

As the simulator's notification sounded, Su Xing's field of vision shifted.

Shortly thereafter, Su Xing found himself holding a somewhat fractured Jade Slip.

His Divine Sense plunged into the Jade Slip, scanning through the text.

"The fate of a nation is beyond all but immortals to divine, thus the old master pours his life's work into the latter volume, the volume on Human Fate!"

"Fate, time, destiny... without fate, a person may struggle for decades, but with the turn of fate, they may rapidly rise to prominence... Cultivators, contending with heaven and earth for longevity, are subject to Karma..."

"Even those mightiest beings, whose lifespans rival heavens, still face the three calamities and six illnesses, The Five Decays of Heaven and Man..."

"However, those who achieve a minor understanding of my Fortune-Telling Technique can discern a person's fate, seek good fortune and avoid disaster, and sense the heaven and earth..."

"..."

The text in this Jade Slip, just the latter part of the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique, spread out to 30,000 words.

Moreover, the text was exceedingly convoluted and difficult to remember.

Knowing time was short, Su Xing quickly activated the Great Wisdom State bonus and began to memorize verbatim.

Quickly, a day passed, and Su Xing had recited the entire text of the Human Fate volume without missing a single word.

Seeing that there were still two days left in the immersive simulation, Su Xing didn't waste any time. With the enhanced comprehension from the "Great Wisdom" state, he began to grasp and understand this Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique.

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed, and the immersive simulation time ended, bringing Su Xing back to the real world.

Back in the real world, Su Xing marveled at the mysteries of the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique that filled his mind.

"Incredible, how on earth did that Damned Zong have such dumb luck to obtain such a valuable Jade Slip?"

"This Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique is not just any ordinary technique... it's probably close to the level of Dao Arts!" Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Su Xing couldn't help but marvel, recalling when he had spoken with Uncle Shennong in the Luotian Meeting Instance about Dao Arts.

As a Cultivator, the techniques at one's disposal also varied in rank.

The means of an ordinary Qi Cultivator typically fell into three categories: Divine Skills, techniques, and secret techniques!

In comparison, Divine Skills are considered valuable, and they're categorized as major or minor Divine Skills.

Minor Divine Skills are somewhat more common, but still not something an ordinary cultivator can learn.
