Dao Equaling the Heavens
Chapter 575 - 103 Old Man Tianji

Chapter 575: Chapter 103 Old Man Tianji

Broken Sword Mountain.

Xiao Yunyi summoned the soul separation of the dry corpse from afar, and after several investigations, the soul separation completely dissipated.

He sighed and shook his head, saying: "This soul separation doesn’t even have a memory, and the person behind it didn’t control it. Rather than setting a trap, it’s more like delivering a message."

"He doesn’t want to be our enemy, and probably won’t interfere with Jun Yan’s resurrection."

In earlier years, Evil Cultivators weren’t so cunning and cautious, but after the Daoist Sect killed many, those who weren’t cautious also died.

"Doesn’t want to be our enemy?" Gu Wen showed a trace of disdain, "Back then, he tricked Jun Yan by saying that as long as he separated his three souls and seven spirits, he would let him live, but in the end, he devoured him like a snack."

Back then, Jun Yan bowed to the Heavenly Corpse, dismembering his three souls and seven spirits into minced flesh to survive, but it was all just a prank of the Old Demon.

The Ten Thousand Demon Body wasn’t incomplete because of Jun Yan, but the Heavenly Corpse Demon simply didn’t want him to succeed.

The same fate befell Chi Yu Zi, who tried his best to ascend the Golden Platform, dispelled his Seven Emotions and Six Desires, and ultimately became the nourishment for Chi Ling to become Immortal.

Even to this day, Gu Wen still remembers their desolate expressions and his own powerlessness.

"These vermin fear power but not virtue; escaping today doesn’t mean escaping forever."

Xie Yunnan swallowed her saliva; it was the first time she saw Gu Wen angry.

Though no aura could be detected, she felt an extreme and inexplicable fear.

Similar to Qingcang Immortal, who never leaked her aura, whether during normal times or when killing, she remained utterly calm.

Such beings don’t need to get angry; just expressing their intent can cause universal panic.

Heaven and earth may invert due to their wishes.

Gu Wen asked, "Yu Nan, who is currently the strongest in divination in the world?"

Xie Yunnan replied, "There is no consensus on the strongest in divination, but the most renowned is Old Man Tianji."

"Help me invite him."

"Old Man Tianji is as elusive as a dragon; many have spent fortunes for a meeting in vain, I’m afraid..."

Chi Yu Zi interrupted from the side, "Announce to the world through the True Martial Palace, that damned fortune teller is putting on airs."

Others find it hard to meet him, but they are Venerables, a mere fortune teller shouldn’t pose in front of them.

Moreover, Chi Yu Zi has never believed in destiny; he holds no reverence for charlatans, rather he’s repulsed by them.

"Yes."

Xie Yunnan got up and left.

Xiao Yunyi used the observation of Jun Yan’s resurrection as an excuse, keeping Gu Wen at Broken Sword Mountain for a while.

Gu Wen pondered for a moment before agreeing, as he truly needed to take some time to organize what he had learned, and wait for Old Man Tianji to come to learn the arts of divination.

-----------------

Less than half a day passed when Xie Yunnan returned to inform Gu Wen that Old Man Tianji had been found, and he was currently in Taiyi City.

The True Martial Palace had not yet released the announcement nationwide, but the news was sent through the Flying Book Sword Order to the main cities of each province, such as Taiyi City.

Old Man Tianji seemed to indeed possess knowledge of past, present, and future, as he came on his own accord.

"Currently, Old Man Tianji is in Taiyi City,"

Xie Yunnan, slightly bowing, watched Gu Wen, Chi Yu Zi, Xiao Yunyi, and Jade Sword Buddha with sidelong glances.

They were playing a leaf game, scattered cards piling on the table. Upon hearing her report, knowing that the elusive Old Man Tianji had arrived proactively, none of them showed any change.

Gu Wen merely nodded slightly, uttering a soft "Hmm," before playing the last card, his calm face breaking into a smile.

"I won."

-----------------

Taiyi City, as bustling as ever, with endless streams of traffic.

An old Immortal with white hair and beard, clad in cloth garments, entered the City Lord Mansion.

Taiyi City Lord personally greeted him at the door, respectfully bowing and said, "It’s an honor for a Demi Immortal to visit, forgive my failure to greet you sooner, may I know your name?"

"I am Tian Ji, a name passed down from my sect, unworthy of the title Demi Immortal."

Old Man Tianji shook his head, his white brows exuding indifference, like an old Immortal devoid of desires.

The cultivation aura he emitted was merely of the Returning to Void realm.

Taiyi City Lord was already in the Mahayana Realm, several great realms apart, yet he still respectfully said, "The elder’s ability of foresight is unmatched, far beyond many Taoist Realm Demi Immortals."

The art of cultivation possesses many skills, divination being the most mysterious.

Calculating fortune and misfortune is common, yet it is here that everyone reaches their limit, regardless of their cultivation, only capable of determining fortune or misfortune, with cultivation merely enhancing accuracy.

True divination is foresight, with calculations extending miles for every step taken.

Experts can even set up altars to reverse destiny, turning a mundane person into a Heavenly Pride. Old Man Tianji is renowned for performing such feats, having helped several reverse destiny, transforming mediocre individuals into Heavenly Prides.

They are now celebrated True Monarchs within their realms.

This method of turning individuals into talents is highly sought after, with those having disciples and descendants hoping for their success.

Cultivation families always seek bloodline legacy for this reason.

No sect, individual, or group can escape the concept of legacy.

Besides, divination can calculate longevity, life and death, breakthrough opportunities, various fortunes, and ultimately destiny alterations.

His own abilities notwithstanding, he seems almost omnipotent.

Despite his lack of power, Old Man Tianji holds a higher status than ordinary Demi Immortals, akin to an Alchemy Master to whom anyone might have needs.

Taiyi City Lord is no exception, he seized this opportunity to subtly inquire about his own breakthrough opportunities.

"Elder, I wonder if the younger generation can still breakthrough to glimpse the Taoist Realm?"

"Your cultivation has been smooth until now; unless there occurs a change unseen in millennia, there shouldn’t be any obstacles."
