I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 818: Chapter 433: Celestial Derivation of Life

Li Mu seemed to remember something, turned his gaze to Tianyan Divine Monarch, and curiously asked, ”Fellow Daoist Tianyan, it seems that you have some understanding of the art of divination. Do you happen to know anything about it?”

Exploring the Land of the Extreme inevitably involves encountering unknown dangers. However, by using the Time Fortune Spirit Turtle, this Karma Supreme Treasure from the Power of Time, you can glimpse a part of the future to avoid some threats to a certain extent.

However, the Sealed Land involves the presence of a Daoist Monarch. Even using the ’Time Fortune Spirit Turtle’, it is difficult to fully foresee the future changes. After all, this is a power beyond the ordinary cultivator’s understanding. The karmic fortune of a Daoist Monarch is like a divine might that cannot be peeped at or blasphemed.

Previously, within the inheritance of Tianyan Divine Monarch, Li Mu discovered that Tianyan Divine Monarch was a learned scholar, not only proficient in artifact refining and array formation but also well-versed in strange arts like computation and divination. Unfortunately, he left no truly useful inheritance.

To compensate for the deficiencies of the Time Fortune Spirit Turtle, Li Mu searched the Scripture Pavilion of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect for heritages like Computation Scripture and divination. Alas, the Profound Celestial Sword Sect holds the sword in the highest esteem, and such High Tier rare true inheritance secret scriptures on divination and Computation Scripture have been lost, or perhaps they never appeared.

Meeting Li Mu’s gaze, Tianyan Divine Monarch stroked his beard and recalled, ”Indeed, I am proficient in the art of divination. The ’Celestial Derivation of Life’ is the divination method I primarily practiced. This method can gain insight into celestial secrets and predict the future, but it requires consuming treasures of karma and the Power of Time, deriving trigrams to predict fortunes and misfortunes through their interpretation.”

”Hmm! Is this the magic technique Fellow Daoist Tianyan inherited?” Li Mu asked with keen interest.

Tianyan Divine Monarch nodded and then slightly shook his head, sighing, ”The ’Celestial Derivation of Life’ was the core inheritance of my sect. However, the complete method has long been lost. What I obtained were only fragments and incomplete sections. Despite this, it can still provide some insight into celestial secrets. The complete ’Celestial Derivation of Life’ method is said to be able to uncover all the secrets of Heaven and Earth and even alter some future paths. However, such power is too immense. Perhaps it is because of this that the complete method became lost.”

”As for me, I am merely a fragmented avatar and had some awareness of it after following him for years. However, I didn’t have the opportunity to apply this method.” Tianyan Divine Monarch frowned as he explained to Li Mu, then added, ”Divination, by its nature, involves peering into celestial secrets and forecasting the future, but it also has its limitations. For those with profound Dao practices and steadfast wills, the results of divination are often unclear. The outcomes of divination are not absolute and can only serve as a reference.”

After a pause, Tianyan Divine Monarch looked at Li Mu and smiled bitterly, ”If I could use the art of divination to avoid harm and turn ill fortune into good fortune, I might not have fallen so early.”

Hearing this, Li Mu suddenly realized the truth of the matter; indeed, if Tianyan Divine Monarch possessed the ability to foresee, he might not have perished. However, it could also be due to some underlying influences, such as the secret realm he explored being in fact a grand array set up by a Daoist Monarch, or perhaps the grade of his divination treasures was insufficient to unveil the truth.

Mastering this art, especially when coupled with the divination supreme treasure of Time Fortune Spirit Turtle, should increase the accuracy of divination and avoid Heavenly Dao’s backlash.

With a fervent gaze, Li Mu looked at Tianyan Divine Monarch and earnestly said, ”Fellow Daoist Tianyan, since you are familiar with ’Celestial Derivation of Life’, would you be willing to teach it to me? I am quite interested in the art of divination and hope to gain insight into some celestial secrets to avoid harm and turn ill fortune into good fortune.”

Upon these words, Tianyan Divine Monarch was slightly taken aback and, after contemplating for a moment, slowly said, ”Although ’Celestial Derivation of Life’ is just a fragment, it still contains profound lessons on the Dao of Divination. Since Sect Master finds it interesting, I am naturally willing to impart it all to you. However, divination requires talent, certain spiritual energy, and enlightenment. Has the Sect Master had any prior exposure to divination arts, and do you possess these qualities?”

Li Mu nodded solemnly and said, ”Yes, I have studied ’Computation Scripture’ and ’Celestial Trigram’, so I should be able to master this technique.”

Tianyan Divine Monarch nodded in surprise and said, ”Since the Sect Master has such a serendipitous opportunity, then I shall impart this method to you. However, please remember that the art of divination should not be abused, nor should celestial secrets be casually revealed.”

”Thank you, Fellow Daoist Tianyan. Could you perhaps perform a divination for my current secret realm journey? Demonstrate the ’Celestial Derivation of Life’.” Li Mu said with a hint of joy, probing Tianyan Divine Monarch.

Tianyan Divine Monarch looked at Li Mu, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but finally nodded, ”Since the Sect Master has such intent, I will attempt a divination for you.”

As he spoke, Tianyan Divine Monarch cast his divine sense toward the Sample Soul Tower, retrieving an ancient Turtle Shell Spiritual Artifact and four Copper Coin Spiritual Artifacts, preparing to carry out the divination.

Under the Innate Divine Power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, the attributes of Tianyan Divine Monarch’s two divination artifacts manifested before Li Mu’s eyes.
