I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 505: Chapter 349: Observing Stars Technique_1

Watching Chen Mobai and Qing Nu leave the shore, Luo Hezheng felt nostalgic for the vigor of youth.

“The Kong Qingge should be this way, right?”

Luo Hezheng wasn’t a first-time visitor to the Jumang Daoist Academy, yet he asked Song Yuexin symbolically, and she nodded in response.

“I’ll take you there.”

Just as the two were about to step in another direction, Luo Hezheng suddenly let out a yelp and looked in a certain direction.

“What’s the matter, Teacher Luo?”

“Nothing.”

Luo Hezheng shook his head, not mentioning the unusual feeling of being watched.

This was a port, and once onshore, one could see several two or three-story houses scattered along the road ascending in steps. The arrangement seemed to follow a particular formation, exuding a harmonious beauty of man and nature.

In one such modest building, a girl in sunglasses sat on a window ledge, her feet swinging in the air, looking in the direction of the port.

On the wall behind her, a large screen was displaying the scene at the port.

“It seems we’ve been spotted.”

The girl with sunglasses turned her head and said a sentence, then heard slight coughing from behind her.

“This is Jumang Academy’s surveillance. We’re just borrowing the feed. Even if caught, other martial arts academies won’t care. They’ll assume it’s necessary vigilance for the upcoming offline exchanges.”

In the room’s farthest corner away from sunlight, a man with gray hair sat in a wooden chair, watching the screen and lightly pressing buttons on a remote control in his hand.

Soon, the screen divided into nine small parts.

One of them flashed the images of Chen Mobai and Qing Nu passing by.

“I heard you did a divination for him?”

The gray-haired man pointed at Chen Mobai and began using various surveillance feeds from around Wood God Island to continuously track this chief of the Dance Tool Dao Academy.

“Yes, it was coincidental, I wasn’t waiting for him.”

The girl with sunglasses turned her head and, upon seeing the screen, spoke in a calm tone.

“Oh, so even the Karmic Doctrine of The Divine Machine Mansion can get it wrong?”

Upon hearing her words, the gray-haired man looked surprised. Speaking too hastily, he coughed a couple of times as if in poor health.

“My cultivation still needs work, but it’s also likely that crossing paths with him is better than meeting the person I was waiting for.”

“So you’re saying, the bond between you and him is stronger.”

The gray-haired man was Ding Chundzhi, the previous chief of the Astral Observation Academy. He was a Foundation Establishment perfectionist, albeit average in magic duel ability. However, his Observing Stars Technique was advanced to a high level. It’s said he saw through everyone he observed.

“Probably.”

The girl with sunglasses responded calmly, not revealing the truth from the day she read Chen Mobai’s fortune.

“Interesting. With you saying this, I suddenly want to inspect his fortune.”

Upon hearing this, Ding Chundzhi’s intrigue piqued. He closed his left eye, and a silver starlight shimmered in his right eye. Simultaneously, he pressed incessantly on his remote control to capture the screen image of Chen Mobai.

“The people from Kunpeng Daoist Institute have arrived.”

Just as Ding Chundzhi was about to read Chen Mobai’s fate, the girl in sunglasses suddenly spoke.

“What a coincidence.”

Upon hearing this, Ding Chundzhi paused, sighing. He had to switch the screen view back to the port with his remote control.

A youth with golden curls and a cold face arrived on Wood God Island, closely followed by a handsome youth with melancholy eyes: Taishi Shu, the current chief of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute.

“Qi Huanzhi, Nangong Xiu, Taishi Shu, any one of these chaps has the potential of Gold Core, yet all belong to Kunpeng Daoist Institute. It truly deserves to be the number one institution amongst the celestial academies.”

Seeing the trio disembark, Ding Chundzhi couldn’t help but sigh.

Despite being the most talented student of the Astral Observation Academy in the last hundred years, he could only rival these three at best.

Thankfully, he had mastered the Observing Stars Technique!

Within the twinkling starlight of his right eye, Ding Chundzhi watched the trio on the screen. He seemed to already see their fates and the ranks they might attain during this offline exchange.

“Nangong Xiu is currently third, Taishi Shu second and Qiu Huanzhi first.”

After reading the trio’s fortunes, Chundzhi took up a brush and wrote down their names on a large piece of paper.

“The people from The Divine Machine Mansion have arrived.”

Sitting on the window ledge, the girl with sunglasses reminded again.

Following the trio from the Kunpeng Daoist Institute, Lou Fengcheng and Ling Daoshi arrived on Wood God Island.

Ding Chundzhi didn’t dare to rest and once again performed the Observing Stars Technique. After glancing at the duo on the screen, he wrote their names between Qi Huanzhi and Taishi Shu.

This changed the rankings to Lou Fengcheng second and Ling Daoshi third.

Taishi Shu dropped to fourth and Nangong Xiu to fifth.

After consecutively reading the fortune of top professionals from two Daoist Academies, Ding Chundzhi drew a handkerchief from his sleeve and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead. Then, he opened a bottle of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew kept on the table and dropped two drops into his right eye.

A refreshing sensation, he felt relieved.

The Observing Stars Technique was powerful, but it consumed much of his Spiritual Power and Divine Sense. The better the person he was watching, the more violently he experienced backlash.

Thankfully, the members of the ‘Four Great Daoist Academies’ and the ‘Top Ten Learning Palaces’ had not all arrived at once. Otherwise, he definitely could not stand it.
