Chapter 813: Chapter 823: Peering into the Secrets of Heaven!

"As expected, it’s a young man!"

Master Yi Gu sized Tang Zhong up and down, then spoke with a smile.

Tang Zhong looked at Master Yi Gu, not expecting him to speak in such a manner.

But looking at Master Yi Gu, there was no denying—this was a highly cultivated individual.

There was an extraordinary aura surrounding him.

Immediately, Tang Zhong respectfully said, "Master!"

Still, Tang Zhong couldn’t help but wonder why Master Yi Gu said, "As expected, it’s a young man." Could it be that he had already anticipated that the one to break his puzzle was a young man? How peculiar indeed!

"Your name is Tang Zhong?" Master Yi Gu asked.

"Yes!" Tang Zhong nodded.

"Tell me, how did you come to know the method to break the puzzle?" Master Yi Gu asked with a smile.

"That chess puzzle is a deadlock. If one truly wanted to break it, this was the only method!" Tang Zhong replied.

"They say life is like chess. You can discern that the puzzle is a deadlock—truly worthy of being Heaven’s chosen one!" Master Yi Gu said.

Heaven’s chosen one? This term again?

Tang Zhong had first heard it from Zhang Changgong. How did this person know as well?

"You..." Tang Zhong said, astonished.

"No need to wonder how I know. Just understand that I’ve always been waiting for someone to break the puzzle, and you... you’re that person!" Master Yi Gu said with a smile.

"Waiting for someone?" Tang Zhong asked, even more surprised.

"Yes. For you to come. I calculated a divination starting at the age of fifty, waiting for the puzzle-breaker to arrive. But fifty years passed, and no one had succeeded. Whosoever breaks the puzzle, I would calculate a divination for them. Now that you’ve done it, I shall calculate one for you!" Master Yi Gu explained.

"Divination? I don’t believe in such things!" Tang Zhong replied.

Divination—to him, it was utter nonsense!

"I can unveil Heaven’s secrets!" Master Yi Gu said with a mysterious smile.

"Heaven’s secrets?" Tang Zhong murmured.

"The mysteries above—the secrets of your future!" Master Yi Gu laughed.

The future!

"I don’t believe it!" Tang Zhong shook his head.

If Heaven’s secrets and the future could indeed be uncovered, wouldn’t it all be nothing but illusions?

He had never partaken in divinations, so he didn’t understand such things.

"Don’t believe me? Then extend your hand!" Master Yi Gu said with a smile.

Tang Zhong stretched out his hand.

Master Yi Gu seized Tang Zhong’s hand, examining it closely, particularly the lines on the hand. Then he released it, saying, "You come from an unfortunate background. From your hand, I see elements you wouldn’t want brought up. You’re a stubborn person—once you commit to something, you won’t give up. And you’re sentimental. At the very least, you’re filial."

"You... how do you even know all this?" Tang Zhong exclaimed in shock.

Indeed, his background was unlucky. In childhood, his parents had captured Tang Ran to extract blood for medical treatment. There were many incidents he didn’t wish to recall, such as how he and Xia Yuqing had depended on each other as children, suffering mistreatment. He was indeed stubborn—once he embarked on something, the outcome didn’t matter; he was also sentimental, knowing what should and shouldn’t be done.

"I told you—I could see all of this about you because you’re the one I’ve been waiting for. I spent fifty years nurturing this divination, and it was all to wait for you!" Master Yi Gu declared.

"Alright then, calculate!" Tang Zhong decided.

He wanted to know what his future held.

Master Yi Gu took three copper coins out of a tortoiseshell, handed them to Tang Zhong, and said, "Shake these, then I’ll need a drop of your blood."

Tang Zhong accepted the coins, shook them repeatedly, and then bit his finger, letting a drop of blood drip into the shell. Suddenly, a red light gleamed inside the shell, only to vanish just as quickly, returning the shell to its original state before handing it back to Master Yi Gu.

Master Yi Gu placed the coins inside the shell and began shaking it.

Previously, Tang Zhong hadn’t believed in divination, but now he began to have faith.

Could this Master Yi Gu truly foresee his future?

Tang Zhong was curious. What was his future? Would he live happily with Weiwei?

As Master Yi Gu shook the shell with the coins inside, in an instant, the shell gleamed with light.

A fierce wind began to stir. They were in a small pavilion surrounded by a lake. The wind swept across the water, creating shimmering ripples—a stunning sight.

The wind also reached beyond the pavilion.

Outside, the Ji Family father and sons waited. They had watched Tang Zhong enter but didn’t know when he would come out.

Suddenly, they felt the wind blowing against them.

Ji Chunlian knitted his brows, saying, "There’s a legend about Master Yi Gu—when he performs divination, the winds will rise. It seems the tales are true!"

"I must request Master Yi Gu to calculate a divination for me!"

Nearby, Ji Luowen and Ji Luowu were completely spellbound, witnessing such an extraordinary event.

Within the pavilion.

Tang Zhong was likewise utterly stunned.

The tortoiseshell in Master Yi Gu’s hands now floated in mid-air, whirling rapidly. The sound of copper coins striking its interior filled the air.

"Heaven’s Eye Open!"

Master Yi Gu roared, and immediately, his pupils emitted golden light, entirely obscuring the irises, transforming his eyes into golden voids. Around his eye sockets, bulging veins throbbed furiously.

He was unveiling Heaven’s secrets!

Those golden pupils endowed the seer with visions of Heaven’s mysteries!

A diviner could access Heaven’s secrets!

But Heaven’s secrets are forbidden to probe!

To seek them invites catastrophe!

Master Yi Gu’s complexion turned ghastly as his blood seemed to boil, threatening to burst through his skin.

His skin looked as though it were about to crack open.

"Ah..." Master Yi Gu cried out in agony, losing control entirely.

To divine the secrets invited Heaven’s vengeance, and Master Yi Gu was now suffering the retribution.

Blood began to flow from all seven orifices.

Tang Zhong watched Master Yi Gu in this dire state, completely frozen in shock.

Master Yi Gu’s condition worsened—the skin peeled away, revealing raw flesh beneath, and his body seemed to shrink away grotesquely.

"Stop the divination! Don’t do this anymore!" Tang Zhong shouted.

"No... Fifty years—it’s all for this divination!" Master Yi Gu screamed.

His condition grew even more grim, his body shriveling horribly, his hands withering into husks.

"Ah..." His screams grew even more harrowing.

A beam of white light enveloped his body before shooting skyward.

Boom.

The white light faded away.

Master Yi Gu collapsed to the ground, his appearance now entirely inhuman.

He couldn’t endure Heaven’s punishment.

"Master! Master, what’s wrong?!" Tang Zhong rushed forward to help Master Yi Gu up.

"I’m fine..." Master Yi Gu murmured, though his appearance had completely changed. Covered in scars, he now stood only at 1.5 meters tall.

"This is normal—it’s the cost of unveiling Heaven’s secrets!"

"Why put yourself through this?" Tang Zhong asked.

"No... My mission is to calculate a divination for the puzzle-breaker. Alas, my skills are insufficient to probe deeply—I could only see a glimpse of the secrets!" Master Yi Gu admitted.

"Ah!" Tang Zhong exclaimed.

"Now listen carefully. What I’ve glimpsed in the divination concerns your future, and you must always remember my words!" Master Yi Gu urged.

"Alright!"

"Your fate is unfortunate, but someone appeared and altered it for you."

"That person had a good destiny, but by changing yours, they took on misfortune. You will strive to change their fate, but the effort required will be immense."

"Your destinies are eternally intertwined!"

"In the future, your path will be extraordinarily difficult, but you must never give up—for... the world needs you!"

(That’s all for today!)
