Li Mu upgraded the divination technique ”Celestial Derivation of Life” to Level 7 in one go, successively acquiring four divine techniques related to causality and time, each containing unfathomable mysteries that greatly enhanced his divination effect and combat ability.

The first divine technique - Divination and Inference, allows Li Mu to more clearly observe the divination hexagrams, penetrating the essence of the hexagrams.

The second divine technique - Derivation Insight, enables Li Mu to observe beyond the surface of the divination and, by this divine technique, to foresee the transient trajectory of all things, possessing the ability to chase the origin and source.

The third divine technique - Floating Cause Inference, allows Li Mu to perceive the causal relationships between events, predicting the chain reactions that a certain action might trigger when used against an adversary, having the effect of foreseeing the enemy’s strategies.

The fourth divine technique - Celestial Derivation Sense, allows Li Mu to perceive hidden information and omens between heaven and earth, which may be closely related to major events in the future, providing richer material and deeper basis for the divination skill.

The fifth divine technique - Celestial Derivation’s Cry, enables Li Mu to resonate briefly with causality and the River of Time, thus interpreting more accurately and enhancing the accuracy of divination hexagrams.

After a long time, Li Mu opened his eyes, a trace of silver light flashed through his pupils. His divine sense recovered from the vast experience of divination skills, feeling as if he had traveled through space-time, personally experiencing the careers of countless masters of divination, from which he absorbed endless wisdom.

The vast amount of divination experience gave Li Mu a deeper understanding of ”Celestial Derivation of Life,” realizing that divination is not merely about predicting the future, but about insight into the operating rules of all things in heaven and earth. From these vast experiences, Li Mu summarized them roughly into: Human Cause, Age Power, Cause and Effect, and Tianyan as the four core concepts.

Human Cause: refers to the important influence of human factors in divination, as everyone’s fate is affected by their character, behavior, choices, and other factors.

Age Power: is the power of time, where all things exist in a state of constant transformation, with countless tributaries in the River of Time, rendering a comprehensive view unattainable.

Cause and Effect: is the law binding all things in the universe, where every event has its cause and will bring corresponding results. Causality is ever-changing, developing illusions, predicting events’ development trends and possible outcomes.

Tianyan, as the most core part of ”Celestial Derivation of Life,” is not only a divination skill but also a profound understanding and application of the heavenly Dao laws. It requires the diviner to base their deductions on known information and principles, with rigorous logical reasoning and flexible analogy thinking, to deduce unknown results.

At this moment, Li Mu felt awe towards the Celestial Dao Power. The more he knew, the more he realized his own insignificance and ignorance.

He considered himself now stepping into the halls of divination, becoming a true master of divination.

Li Mu took a deep breath and retrieved the Time Fortune Spirit Turtle from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, gently stroking its turtle shell, feeling the traces of time and causal patterns flowing on it, filling with the mysteries of causality and the Time Dao Principle, gaining a clearer understanding of its abilities.

The Time Fortune Spirit Turtle sensed the changes in Li Mu’s body, its eyes slightly brightening. The Artifact Spirit conveyed a trace of joyous emotion. As a spirit treasure in telepathy with Li Mu, it could sense its owner’s heart realm and cultivation progress. His practice of techniques matching its abilities could better unleash its power, reducing its spiritual energy loss, and allowing its own spiritual energy to grow.

Li Mu decided to divine for himself once more, fully utilizing the newly learned divination technique - ”Celestial Derivation of Life,” to verify the potential achieved when combined with the power of the Time Fortune Spirit Turtle.

Li Mu sat cross-legged, the Time Fortune Spirit Turtle floating in front of him, his mind calm as water, and began to operate the ”Celestial Derivation of Life” technique.

As the technique operated, a mysterious mist seemed to envelop Li Mu, the signs of divination condensing in form.

Then, Li Mu utilized the divine technique ”Celestial Derivation’s Cry,” injecting Sea Alliance Spiritual Power into the Time Fortune Spirit Turtle.

This divine technique, Celestial Derivation’s Cry, allowed Li Mu to effortlessly resonate briefly with the Spirit Transport Turtle’s causality tree and the River of Time.

The Time Fortune Spirit Turtle clearly sensed this mysterious power, its eyes flashing bright lights, conveying strong joy and anticipation, knowing that this divination would be extraordinary.

The next moment, the Time Fortune Spirit Turtle’s eyes shone brightly, as the River of Time and the causality tree emerged from its eyes, followed by the patterns of immaculate hexagrams appearing on its turtle shell.

With the execution of the Celestial Derivation’s Cry divine technique, Li Mu felt himself merge with the Time Fortune Spirit Turtle, gaining its vision, rapidly reading the causality tree and the River of Time, observing scenes of the past, present, and future. These scenes flashed before his eyes like fragments, yet he captured and interpreted each one.

...

In these rapidly flashing images, Li Mu suddenly fixated on a scene of the future, where he saw his arch-enemy - Bu Mie Demon Lord. That face which brought him endless fear and pressure, now appeared exceptionally clear in the divination’s view. Bu Mie Demon Lord stood amidst ruins, surrounded by the corpses of eight clan leaders, their faces still bearing the terror and unwillingness at the moment of death, while Bu Mie Demon Lord’s visage was hideous, a pair of demon eyes staring fixedly at him.
