Chapter 906: Chapter 768: An Old Friend Trapped - Part 4

Every single item exuded an extraordinary aura, as if they were possessions of the immortals.

But at this moment, Fang Xi had no desire to move forward.

Because on the path leading to the pavilion, there was an ’ice mountain’ blocking the way!

This ice mountain was crystal clear, with five-colored chains wrapped around its surface.

Within the ice mountain, a vague figure could be discerned!

’There’s a trap!’

He warily looked around and eventually confirmed, "Greedy, huh? It seems that as long as I don’t venture into the pavilion, the prohibition laid by the immortals won’t be triggered?"

Fang Xi took a step back, intending to leave.

For some reason, he always felt that the figure within the ice mountain seemed familiar.

"Hold on, young friend!"

Just then, a voice sounded.

Golden Eight Diagrams emerged on the surface of the ice mountain, and on the ground, individual scattering counting rods suddenly soared into the air, radiating strands of radiance.

A great number of light beams converged to form the figure of an old Taoist holding a long banner.

"Hmm? Are you... the Divine Calculator?"

Fang Xi’s tone was filled with shock, perfectly portraying the expression a member of the human race should have upon encountering the Divine Calculator.

Moreover, the Wang Family Ancestor was not acquainted with the Divine Calculator, but had seen him during the great battle between Jianzi and the Taoist of the Flaming Jade Sect.

At that time, the Divine Calculator had been the center of attention, but the Wang Family Ancestor was just another face in the crowd.

Now, however, the other party had become a prisoner at his feet.

It must be said, the whims of the world make fools of us all.

"Indeed..."

The Divine Calculator’s apparition stroked his beard, thought for a moment, then bowed deeply, "I ask the young friend to save this old man!"

"Of course, as a pillar of our human race, I am duty-bound to help you... yet I fear I am willing but unable..."

Fang Xi clasped his hands together, "May I ask, Divine Calculator, how did you end up in such a plight?"

The Divine Calculator’s mouth moved, but he couldn’t utter a word for a long time.

He had previously predicted that a complete Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure would appear on Falling Sky Island and believed with his Integration period realm, he had a great chance of securing the treasure and returning triumphantly.

Even if it took hundreds or thousands of years, if it meant obtaining an Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure, it would naturally be a huge profit.

However, he was dumbfounded after a thorough investigation – Falling Sky Island didn’t have any complete Immortal Mansion Rare Treasures!

But still trusting his divination, he proceeded to collect clues tirelessly as intelligence for divination...

The Skills of Divination would backfire severely if performed without any information, creating something out of nothing.

If there were ample clues, it would significantly reduce the difficulty of the divination.

Subsequently, the Divine Calculator divined that an Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure would emerge within the Seven Treasures Secret Realm!

Overwhelmed with joy, he immediately began to make arrangements.

As an Integration period great cultivator and a supreme Grandmaster of Array Taoist capable of conjuring arrays with a mere thought, he collaborated with Jianzi. With Jianzi sending someone to the Seven Treasures Secret Realm in advance for preparations and working in conjunction from the inside and outside, he, an Integration cultivator, managed to directly enter the Secret Realm!

And the Divine Calculator only set his eyes on the inner part of the Black Crystal Wall, determined to obtain the Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure!

After all, within the Seven Treasures Secret Realm, the only place that might contain an Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure was here.

He could not have miscalculated!

With his Integration period Cultivation and the aid of a puppet controlled by Jianzi, they managed to break through the Black Crystal Wall directly!

However, to his surprise, when he tried to obtain the items within the pavilion, they appeared promising, but he accidentally triggered the Immortal Mansion prohibition!

At that moment, a ’Sword Puppet’ controlled by a shard of Jianzi’s soul betrayed the Divine Calculator and took the opportunity to escape with some benefits.

The outwitted Divine Calculator was left trapped inside the Five Elements Ice Mountain, taking the fall for Jianzi.

Luckily, his mastery of arrays was not insignificant, and the Secret Realm had long been in disrepair, with almost half of the Immortal Mansion’s prohibitions damaged, preventing him from dying instantly and instead being sealed.

He was even able to channel some of his magic power through the prohibition and seal to form an external apparition.

Of course, the Divine Calculator wouldn’t explain all this to Fang Xi in detail.

"For the human race, I came here to obtain a precious treasure and was inadvertently trapped. After you leave Falling Sky Island, if you could relay a message to the ’Divine Calculation Pavilion’, this old man would be infinitely grateful..."

The Divine Calculator saw the wary look on Fang Xi’s face and his mouth twitched, "If you agree, young friend, I have benefits to offer you..."

For a cultivator, everything else is illusory – only personal gain is real!
