Chapter 25 This divination was wrong
"Uncle-Master! Wait!"
Seeing the figure running wildly ahead, Chen Jinkui chased after it with all his might, but the other party was incredibly fast, and no matter how hard he tried, he could only maintain a distance of about 100 meters.
"If this continues, we'll lose them! This won't do!"
With a flick of his eye, six palm-sized copper coins flew out of his robes, swirling around him. Then, with a wave of his hand…
Swish swish swish swish swish!
"go!"
This is the "Six Lines Coin Divination," a signature skill of the divination school. It combines divination, numerology, and object manipulation, and when combined with these specially crafted divination coins, it is extremely powerful and can be manipulated at will.
Boom!
In an instant, the six large coins surrounded the figure, blocking its path, and its frantic running suddenly stopped...
"..."
He glanced around but did not make a move.
He simply straightened his body slowly.
Standing with hands behind his back.
"Uncle-Master!"
Seeing him stop, Chen Jinkui was overjoyed and immediately rushed to him, examining him closely: "Uncle-Master! It really is you!"
"Little bald monk, long time no see. You dare to lay a hand on your martial uncle?" The other party glanced at him.
"Ah! It was my rudeness, junior disciple!"
The familiar address, the familiar tone... and that expression, it was indeed his uncle-master. Chen Jinkui immediately put away the large sum of money and bowed respectfully.
Seeing this, Fu Xuan felt a smile rise in his heart. When Master Hu Tu passed away, Feng Tianyang made a special trip to secretly capture his remnant soul and nurture it until now. He could then use the "soul leaving the body" method to explore his soul and obtain its essence...
However, it's fortunate that this bearded man's mind had already become abnormal in pursuit of this "miracle skill," otherwise he might not have been able to fool him.
"Um... Uncle-Master..."
"Alright, I know what you want to ask. As you can see, I am not dead, or rather, although I 'died,' I am not truly dead..."
"What...what does this mean?!"
"The meaning is very simple. As I said before, I barely understood Gu Qiting's realm. The fake death was to verify that the white light you saw back then was proof that my soul left my body."
"Using the spell he cast on me, I tracked down his location and saw the full extent of the spell. We were all wrong. The Great Luo Cave Observation is not an escape technique or an illusion, but... an observation technique!"
"Observation... Observation techniques?!"
"That's right. What he did back then wasn't complicated at all. He just 'looked' at me. That one look saw through my entire life and my destiny, which is why I've always felt like someone is watching me..."
"Actually, he had already left!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jinkui was startled. He had already imagined the wonder of this skill as much as possible, but he still underestimated it: "Then now you..."
"You should be able to see that I am no longer a soul, but possess a complete physical body, and you should also understand what it means to be able to reshape a physical body..."
"It's a gateway to heaven!"
"You have reached the Heavenly Realm!"
thump!
Realizing this, Chen Jinkui trembled and immediately knelt down: "Uncle-Master, I was blind and failed to recognize your divine beauty. Please forgive me!"
"Hehe, it's not your fault..."
"I am not actually at the pinnacle, but I am only a hair's breadth away. That is why I came to see you. I am about to leave for good, and before I go... I must leave something behind for my sect."
"!!!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jinkui suddenly looked up, his eyes widening with anticipation: "You...you've acquired that extraordinary skill?!"
"Um?"
"Ah! My nephew misspoke. Now that our master is about to reach the heavens, he has no need for any extraordinary skills; he must have his own methods..."
"Hmph! After all these years, you bald monk are still as good at flattery as ever!"
Fu Xuan glared at him, then grinned, "But you're right. Although I haven't obtained the 'Great Luo Cave Observation,' I've discussed the Dao with Gu Qiting for many years and have already comprehended my own method, which is called—Six Lines Chaotic Fate."
"Six lines of divination... a chaotic fate?"
"As the head of the School of Divination, you should know that the divination using the Six Lines Coins is all 'Heaven's Mandate,' which cannot be changed or defied. My 'Six Lines Disrupting Fate' is about going against Heaven's will, using human power to disrupt Heaven's Mandate, borrowing the power of Heaven and Earth... to change one's own destiny!"
"They actually managed to do that!!!"
Hearing this, Chen Jinkui was even more shocked, but doubts also arose in his heart: "But Uncle-Master, you also said that what is divined by the Six Lines is all destiny. Before Heaven and Earth, we are all ants. If we disobey even in the slightest..."
"Hmph! This is the difference between you mortals and those at the Heavenly Realm!"
Fu Xuan said with exasperation, "What is meant by 'reaching the heavens'? It means transcending this world! No longer being bound by it! This inevitably involves actions that defy the heavens! Those thirteen people back then, and even your uncle, were all like that!"
"Without such spirit, even if you obtained this extraordinary technique, you would never be able to cultivate it successfully..."
"Ugh!"
He suddenly sighed.
"Looks like I've contacted the wrong person..."
I overestimated you!
"No, Uncle-Master! I'm just confused, not that I don't have the intention. Please, Uncle-Master, see clearly!"
Seeing that this extraordinary technique was about to "fly away," Chen Jinkui hurriedly explained, banging his head on the ground: "I understand what my master means, and I will remember it!"
"Is that so...?"
Fu Xuan raised an eyebrow: "Then take out your copper coins, cast a divination, and let me see your resolve..."
"no problem!"
With a flick of his sleeve, Chen Jinkui released six copper coins into his palm. He tossed them aside, and they began to tumble in mid-air before falling to the ground, where he caught them.
"Let me see... Huh?!"
His eyes widened as he realized it was the "Kan" hexagram, and the first line had changed. If we interpret it using the text of the hexagram, it should be: "Practicing Kan, entering the pit, ominous!"
"Solve it."
Upon seeing this divination result, Fu Xuan narrowed his eyes. The meaning was simple—it was a warning that the person seeking divination had fallen into a trap, and if they did not escape in time, they would surely encounter danger.
"Oh, this..."
As the head of the Shuzi Sect, Chen Jinkui immediately understood the meaning of the divination, and a moment of hesitation crossed his mind...
But the next moment.
My uncle's words suddenly came to mind:
"What is meant by 'reaching the heavens'? It means transcending this world! No longer being bound by it! This inevitably requires actions that defy the heavens and the earth!"
"My 'Six Lines Chaos of Fate' is meant to defy the heavens, to use the human body to disrupt the will of heaven, and to borrow the fortune of heaven and earth...to change my own destiny!"
"I see!"
His eyes lit up.
In the next instant, Chen Jinkui did something that was absolutely forbidden in any sorcerer's sect: he picked up one of the copper coins and flipped it from "heads" to "tails".
"Uncle-Master, this divination is wrong!"
"That's more like it!"
After his interpretation, the original "Kan" hexagram (upper and lower trigrams) became the "Bi" hexagram (upper and lower trigrams), with the hexagram text reading: "Auspicious. Original divination, great and eternal perseverance, no blame. Those who are not at peace will come. The later husband will be inauspicious."
"You see, this hexagram indicates good fortune. The hexagram shows that as long as I adhere to my own path and focus on seeking the Way, I will not encounter any disasters and will be able to emerge from my previous state of unease..."
"That's right! Because of your appearance, my long-standing confusion has finally been resolved, and the path I've been pursuing has finally become smooth. You are the greatest benefactor in my life!"
He kowtowed again.
