Chapter 1743 Calculation, Doubts!
Chapter 1743 Calculation, Doubts!
In the blink of an eye.
More than a month has passed since a group of Nascent Soul stage cultivators came to offer their congratulations...
This day.
Baiyun Gate, the main hall of the forbidden area in the back mountain.
In a quiet room, Cheng Buzheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed, slowly opened his eyes.
A golden light flashed in his eyes, like a shooting star streaking across the dark night, dazzling and brilliant.
The dimly lit room flashed for a moment, illuminating the antique furnishings in every detail.
next moment.
Cheng Buzheng's once piercing eyes returned to their calm state, like a bottomless ancient well, without a ripple.
A thoughtful look appeared in his deep eyes, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he were weighing something.
"Now that more than a month has passed, although various forces in the outside world have been fighting each other and bloodshed has swept through the entire cultivation world, no foolish force has dared to provoke our sect."
It seems the previous deterrent action did indeed achieve its intended effect.
He muttered to himself, his voice echoing in the quiet room, carrying a hint of satisfaction.
"otherwise.
The flames of war from the outside world will inevitably reach Baiyun Sect, and a bloody battle will be unavoidable.
Think of this.
Cheng Buzheng was completely relieved, his tense body relaxed slightly, and he leaned back against the headboard of the cloud bed.
"Now that the White Cloud Sect has stabilized..."
"Then, it's time for me to set off."
His gaze hardened, as if he had made up his mind.
Then his thoughts shifted, as if he had thought of something.
Cheng Buzheng reached out and flipped his hand, and a palm-sized doll appeared in his palm.
The doll was pure white, with lifelike features and a faint glow of spiritual light; it was clearly no ordinary object.
With a flick of his wrist.
The streak of light shot directly toward one of the walls, moving so fast that it left only a blur.
Strangely, the streak of light disappeared as it approached the wall, as if it had been swallowed up by something invisible.
Not bad!
That is the secret room hidden within this quiet room.
It was left behind by the previous patriarch of the White Cloud Sect, Zhong, and contains an extremely mysterious concealment formation.
After watching the streak of light disappear into the wall, Cheng Buzheng's last trace of worry vanished completely, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"With this puppet present, even if a powerful enemy attacks..."
I will also receive the news immediately.
When the time comes, we can simply send out the main body from the secret realm.
At its own pace, it wouldn't take long to arrive.
He muttered to himself, a hint of confidence flashing in his eyes.
Even if the situation is extremely critical, there is no need to worry.
The main body will then simply need to teleport directly to this soul puppet's location using its coordinates.
"However, before leaving, I should still inform Cheng Changqing."
If a blunder occurs, it will be too late to regret it!
Think of this.
Cheng Buzheng countered with a move...
A crimson talisman appeared between his fingers, the cinnabar runes on the talisman paper faintly glowing.
At the same time, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Changqing, I am about to go into seclusion."
Do not close the gate unless it is absolutely necessary.
"However, if an emergency occurs during my seclusion, you may contact me telepathically."
moment!
The sound coalesced into a beam and entered the crimson talisman held between the fingers, causing the talisman to glow even brighter.
With a flick of his sleeve...
A streak of crimson light shot out from the main hall of the forbidden area behind the mountain, tearing through the sky and accompanied by a soft whooshing sound.
Eventually, it slid down into a sacred peak and disappeared into a cave.
Just as he was about to slowly get up from the cloud bed...
suddenly!
Cheng Buzheng paused, his brows furrowed again, and a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes.
"The top clans within the True Dragon Sea, with their countless generations of heritage, could not possibly have escaped the attention of Nascent Soul cultivators."
However, there is no record of anyone successfully stealing the treasure throughout history.
Apparently!
These elite groups must have all sorts of preventative measures, probably more stringent than one might imagine.
It is also extremely dangerous.
“If things go wrong, even this Dharma body could be destroyed.”
Think about this.
Cheng Buzheng decided to play it safe.
Before setting off, I decided to have the fortune of this trip calculated!
After all, this is a matter of great importance and cannot afford to make any mistakes.
next moment.
With a thought, a treasure shaped like a copper coin and a tortoise shell carved like jade appeared before him.
The copper coin is covered with mysterious patterns, and faintly, a spiritual light flows through it;
The tortoise shell is entirely emerald green, exuding an ancient aura.
Not bad!
These are the [Heavenly Fortune Copper Coin] and the [Luohe Tortoise Shell].
The former is of great help in predicting opportunities.
However, it falls short in other aspects.
While the latter may be considered mediocre, it excels in both predicting opportunities and...
Or is it to predict good or bad fortune?
The accuracy of the measurements is extremely stable.
Therefore, Cheng Buzheng glanced at the [Heavenly Fortune Coin] and then put it back into the Qiankun Ring.
His gaze then fell upon the jade-like tortoise shell floating in the air, and his eyes became focused.
At the same time, his hands, which were sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed, formed a series of hand seals, and his ten fingers flew around, leaving behind afterimages.
Ancient and mysterious incantations came from his mouth, each syllable containing a strange power.
One by one, twisting runes condensed in mid-air, emitting a faint glow.
It then disappeared into the jade turtle shell, and the patterns on the surface of the shell gradually lit up.
As each rune, radiating mysterious energy, disappeared into the tortoise shell...
Golden rays of light surged forth from the Luohe turtle shell, intertwining and evolving until they finally formed a wheel.
The roulette wheel shimmered with a faint golden light, its surface covered with rings of mysterious runes, as if it contained the infinite changes of the Heavenly Dao.
The golden wheel was also slowly turning, as if the gears of fate were changing with the turn, foreshadowing future fortunes.
at this time.
Cheng Buzheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed, suddenly opened his closed eyes.
A hint of heartache flashed across his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
But in the end, it was replaced by a look of determination.
Immediately.
He flicked his finger and pointed in the air.
A glimmer of light appeared at his fingertips; though small, it contained unimaginable power.
The instant this radiance flashed, an immense and majestic aura spread out, causing the air in the quiet room to become still.
Then, the light spots flashing with chaotic colors disappeared into the golden wheel under Cheng Buzheng's control.
boom!
An even more majestic wave descended from the sky, enveloping the quiet room.
It was as if the will of Heaven had descended, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.
At that moment, the strange runes that filled the golden roulette wheel lit up brightly.
The light was so intense that it illuminated the entire quiet room as if it were daytime...
Above the jade tortoise shell, countless golden rays intertwined to form a large golden character in the void.
"flat!"
The golden character "平" lingered in mid-air for a few breaths before slowly dissipating, turning into specks of golden light and disappearing into the air.
At the same time, the magnificent fluctuations that seemed like the descent of the heavens also receded like the tide.
The golden light faded.
The once incredibly wondrous [Luohe Turtle Shell] has returned to its ordinary appearance once more.
And then it fell from mid-air.
See it!
Cheng Buzheng reached out and made a move...
The jade turtle shell sank into his palm again, feeling icy to the touch.
With a backhand flick, the jade turtle shell vanished.
After retrieving the [Luohe Turtle Shell], Cheng Buzheng, sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed, recalled the scene just now, and a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.
"wrong!
In the past, when using the Luohe turtle shell for measurement...
The divination results are usually presented in the form of images, so why is it like this time...?
Just a single character?
He muttered to himself, his fingers unconsciously tapping the armrests of the cloud bed.
Even if you use the [Heavenly Fortune Coin] to calculate opportunities, although it is also written, it can still give you a general idea of where the opportunities will be.
Previous calculations have provided clear verification.
"However, this time, the divination using the Luohe tortoise shell was quite different from the past."
"Is there something unusual about this calculation?"
suddenly!
A thought popped into his mind.
"Could there be an error in this calculation?"
"That's why we see scenes that are different from the past."
after all!
While the calculation using the [Luohe Turtle Shell] is stable, it is not foolproof.
Based on past experience, the accuracy rate is at most 60%.
Thinking of this, Cheng Buzheng once again took out the [Luohe Tortoise Shell] to perform calculations...
However, the results of the next few calculations were the same as before, with no difference.
At this moment, Cheng Buzheng was certain...
This shouldn't be a problem with the calculation; there must be another reason!
"Could it be that the turbulent situation in the cultivation world has triggered changes in the Heavenly Dao?"
But the next moment, Cheng Buzheng dismissed this thought.
"impossible!
The ways of Heaven are unpredictable; how could changes in the power structure of the cultivation world possibly shake them?
"Or perhaps, the people or events involved in this calculation have had an impact!"
But Cheng Buzheng thought about it for a moment and also felt it was impossible.
After all, the strongest cultivator in the cultivation world is only at the Nascent Soul stage.
Naturally, it will not affect the changes calculated by the secret technique of the law, [Taiyi Six Lines Divine Number].
Then another thought popped into his mind.
"Could it be that among those involved in this calculation is the chosen one of this world?"
Was this change caused by an overwhelming surge of fortune?
"···"
In an instant, all sorts of speculations flashed through his mind.
However, he ultimately rejected them all.
After racking his brains to no avail, Cheng Buzheng stopped thinking about it.
"Fine!"
Since multiple calculations have yielded the same result, it means that this calculation should be correct.
"However, does this 'flat' hexagram mean that the trip will be uneventful?"
Or is there no surprise?
Two thoughts swirled in his mind.
However, in the end, Cheng Buzheng still leaned towards the latter.
Is this because the divination is for good or bad fortune?
It wasn't a matter of chance!
Having made up his mind, Cheng Buzheng did not delay any longer. He slowly stood up from the cloud bed and walked outside.
After leaving the main hall, his figure vanished without a trace, as if he had never existed.
······
Endless sea, inland sea.
The vast, boundless blue sea is magnificent, with towering waves rising and falling.
The sea breeze howled, carrying a salty, damp scent, and stirred the waves on the surface of the sea.
suddenly!
In the clear blue sky, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
He wore a blue robe, had a handsome face, and eyes as deep as the sea.
Indeed, this is Cheng Buzheng, who rushed here from Baiyun Sect not long ago!
To be precise, it should be the avatar that Cheng Buzheng left behind at Baiyun Sect.
Standing in mid-air, Cheng Buzheng's eyes shimmered with golden light as he gazed at the vast blue sea at its edge, his robes fluttering in the sea breeze.
"Ten thousand miles away, that should be the dividing line between the Inner Sea and the True Dragon Sea!" he muttered to himself, his gaze sharpening.
"In today's cultivation world, regardless of whether it's inland or elsewhere?"
Even the landscape of the Endless Sea has undergone turbulent changes.
"Then the various demon races within the True Dragon Sea should be in a similar situation!"
"It seems we need to find a local demon to gather intelligence before taking action, and see how the power dynamics within the demon race have changed..."
This will also facilitate the next steps!
The moment the thought crossed his mind, the figure in the void vanished without a trace, as if it had merged into the void.
The True Dragon Sea, thirty thousand miles away...
A violent surge of spiritual energy emanated from a certain seabed, stirring up the surrounding seawater.
Looking towards the source of the fluctuations, one could see a demon resembling a shrimp head fiercely battling a crab demon.
The shrimp demon held a long spear, the tip of which gleamed with a cold light;
The crab demon brandished its enormous claws, looking majestic and imposing.
A demonic light bursts forth!
The sharp, cold light clashed fiercely, producing a metallic clang.
At the same time, a burst of angry curses echoed across the seabed.
"Sixth Crab, you followed me, ambushed me, and now you want to take all the spiritual medicine I've been guarding for years!"
You're dreaming.
Even if I destroy this precious herb today, I will not let you succeed.
The shrimp-headed demon said with a face full of resentment, his eyes wide open, clearly very angry.
"So what?" the crab demon said matter-of-factly, with a hint of smugness in his tone.
"Haven't you heard that old saying from the human race?"
Natural treasures belong to the virtuous!
I am the virtuous demon!
"You...you..."
Seeing the shrimp-headed demon speechless with anger, a cunning glint flashed in the crab demon's eyes.
next moment.
The crab demon's two claws turned a deep crimson, then suddenly swelled up, gleaming with a sharp, cold light like a pair of terrifying scissors, and clamped down on the crab-headed demon.
Click!
With a soft sound, the shrimp-headed demon was cut in half at the waist, its demon blood spilling out and staining the surrounding seawater a pale red.
Even the long spear magic weapon in the shrimp demon's hand was cut in two, its spiritual light dimmed as it sank to the bottom of the sea.
Seeing that their formidable enemy was dead, a mocking glint appeared in the crab demon's eyes.
"You mere shrimp demon, you dare to oppose me? You're courting death."
After one glance.
The crab demon's gaze involuntarily fell on the luminous herb not far away.
The herb was entirely emerald green, with seven leaves, each bearing natural patterns and emitting an alluring fragrance.
"My darling, you're mine now!" The crab demon excitedly rubbed its claws and swam toward the elixir.
"Once I devour you, my cultivation will surely advance even further."
"Is it not impossible for it to become a great demon in the future?"
Just as the crab demon was enjoying himself and preparing to pluck the spiritual herb...
