Li Mu upgraded the divination skill "Tianyan Fusheng" to level 7 in one breath. Li Mu successively obtained four magical powers related to cause and effect and time. Each of them contains unfathomable mysteries. These magical powers greatly enhanced his divination effect and combat ability.
The first magical power - Zhan Xiang Fu Yan, this magical power allows Li Mu to observe the divination hexagram more clearly and penetrate the essence of the hexagram.
The second magical power - Fu Yan insight, this magical power not only allows Li Mu to observe the surface of divination, but also can use this magical power to gain insight into the short-term direction of all things in advance, and has the ability to trace the source.
The third magical power - floating cause evolution, this magical power allows Li Mu to see the cause and effect relationship between events, foresee the chain reaction that a certain action may cause, and use it to see through the opponent, which has the effect of anticipating the enemy.
The fourth magical power - the sense of heaven's evolution, this magical power allows Li Mu to perceive the secret information and signs between heaven and earth, which may be closely related to major events in the future, providing richer materials and deeper basis for divination.
The fifth magical power - the sound of heaven's evolution, this magical power allows Li Mu to resonate with the rate of cause and effect and the long river of time for a short time, so as to interpret more accurately and improve the accuracy of divination.
After a long time, Li Mu opened his eyes, and a ray of silver light flashed in his pupils. His consciousness recovered from the vast experience of divination and strange arts. He felt as if he had traveled through time and space, personally experienced the careers of countless divination masters, and gained endless wisdom from their experience.
The vast amount of divination experience has given Li Mu a deeper understanding of "Tian Yan Fu Sheng". He understands that divination is not a simple prediction of the future, but an insight into the laws of operation of all things in the world. In these vast amounts of divination experience, Li Mu summarized them and roughly divided them into four core concepts: human factors, age force, cause and effect, and Tian Yan.
Human factors: refers to the important influence of human factors in divination. Everyone's fate is affected by their own personality, behavior, choices and other factors.
Age force is the power of time. Everything is in constant change. The long river of time has countless tributaries and it is impossible to really peek into the whole.
Cause and effect is the law of the interconnection of all things in the universe. Every event has its cause and will also bring corresponding results. Cause and effect are fickle. Follow the cause and effect to predict the development trend of events and possible results.
Tian Yan, as the core part of "Tian Yan Fu Sheng", is not only a divination technique, but also a deep understanding and application of the laws of heaven. It requires the diviner to infer unknown results based on known information and laws through rigorous logical reasoning and flexible analogical thinking.
At this moment, Li Mu's heart was filled with awe for the power of heaven. The more he knew, the more he understood his own insignificance and ignorance.
He had also entered the hall of divination and became a true master of divination.
Li Mu took a deep breath, took out the Fortune Turtle from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl again, gently stroked the tortoise shell of the Fortune Turtle, felt the traces of time and causal textures flowing on it, filled with causality, the mystery of the time and the law, and had a clearer understanding of its abilities.
The Fortune Turtle sensed the changes in Li Mu, his eyes lit up slightly, and the spirit of the weapon conveyed a trace of joy. As a spiritual treasure that communicated with Li Mu, the Fortune Turtle could sense the master's state of mind and the improvement of his cultivation. The master practiced the skills that matched its abilities, which could better exert its power, reduce its spiritual loss, and make its own spirituality grow.
Li Mu decided to divine for himself again, and put all his efforts into the newly learned divination technique - "Heavenly Evolution of Life" to verify what kind of realm his strength and the power of the Fortune Turtle could reach when combined.
Li Mu sat cross-legged, with the Fortune Turtle floating in front of him, his mind as calm as water, and began to practice the "Heavenly Evolution of Life" technique.
As the technique was running, a layer of mysterious mist seemed to permeate around Li Mu, a sign of the condensation of the divination image.
Then, Li Mu used the magical power of "Heavenly Evolution of Life" - the sound of the sky, and injected the spiritual power of the sea into the Fortune Turtle.
The magical power of the sound of the sky made it easy for Li Mu to resonate briefly with the cause and effect tree and the river of time of the Fortune Turtle.
The Fortune Turtle clearly sensed this mysterious power, and its eyes flashed with bright light, conveying strong joy and expectation, knowing that this divination would be extraordinary.
The next moment, the eyes of the Turtle of Fortune shone brightly, and the River of Time and the Tree of Cause and Effect emerged from its eyes one after another, and the white tortoise shell followed with patterns and hexagrams.
As the divine power of Tian Yan Zhi Ming was performed, Li Mu felt that he had merged into the Turtle of Fortune and gained its vision. He quickly read the Tree of Cause and Effect and the River of Time, and saw various scenes of the past, present, and future. These scenes flashed before his eyes like fragments, but he captured and interpreted them one by one.
…
In these fast-flash images, Li Mu suddenly froze on a picture of the future. He saw his old enemy, the Immortal Demon Lord. The face that brought him endless fear and pressure was particularly clear in the divination vision at this moment. The Immortal Demon Lord stood on a ruin, surrounded by the corpses of the eight clan leaders. Their faces still had the fear and unwillingness before death. The Immortal Demon Lord had a hideous face, and a pair of demon pupils stared at him.
The picture turned, and Xue'er seemed to be going through the true spirit tribulation. In a thick and surging tribulation cloud, lightning and thunder, her face seemed particularly firm. However, as the tribulation thunder continued to fall, Xue'er's protective shield gradually broke, and her face turned pale.
Then, the picture changed again, and Li Mu saw a battle in a land full of high-temperature magma. Countless monks died tragically. The light of various spells and magic weapons intertwined into a gorgeous picture. Li Mu saw his own fighting figure, and saw the Immortal Demon Lord slaughtering wantonly, and a large number of high-level monks died wailing under his hands.
The scene changed, and Li Mu saw the tragic scene of the war between the two worlds again. Countless creatures wailed in the flames of war, and the world was filled with blood and chaos. At this moment, he seemed to be able to personally feel the murderous aura and endless sorrow.
…
The Fortune Spirit Turtle seemed to sense that Li Mu was greatly shocked and his mind was in chaos. Fearing that he would be attacked by the heavenly secret, it surged with a force of resistance and took the initiative to interrupt the divination.
With a light sound of "Puff!", the Fortune Spirit Turtle suffered a heavy blow, and its body, which was originally full of vitality, suddenly withered.
Li Mu was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly held the Fortune Spirit Turtle in his hands, carefully checking its injuries, and found that there were several cracks on the tortoise shell of the Fortune Spirit Turtle, and weak and disordered aura was faintly revealed from the cracks. This was the price paid by the Fortune Spirit Turtle for forcibly interrupting the divination in order to protect him.
"Lucky Turtle, I'm sorry, I hurt you again!" Li Mu looked at the Lucky Turtle with guilt, full of apology. This time, he didn't control himself during the divination, which caused great damage to the Lucky Turtle, but it chose to protect itself without hesitation.
The Lucky Turtle looked up at Li Mu with difficulty, then weakly lowered its head, closed its eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Li Mu sighed helplessly. Because he peeped too much into the secrets of heaven, the Lucky Turtle's spirit was affected and suffered a heavy blow again. It even lost the ability to respond to him. He could only find a way to refine it again and inject more powerful time and cause and effect power into it in the future.
Li Mu put the Lucky Turtle into the storage compartment and silently thought about the precious images obtained by the divination just now, peeping into the long river of time, and the hexagrams that emerged from the Lucky Turtle's spiritual armor.
Those hexagrams and future images kept replaying in his mind, making Li Mu feel unprecedented pressure.
The future revealed by this divination was not absolute, but it pointed out the direction for him. Li Mu took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and began to analyze and deduce the hexagrams and future scenes.
This time, Li Mu "saw" a lot of "future" related to him. In the foreseen future, he and the patriarchs of the eight major families explored the Cangyuan Secret Realm together, but they were attacked by the Immortal Demon Lord. The patriarchs were killed one after another, and his fate was probably not much better.
Li Mu frowned, his heart was full of doubts and vigilance, and he couldn't help but start to think, why did the Immortal Demon Lord appear in the Cangyuan Secret Realm?
Could it be that the Immortal Demon Lord did not return to the Southern Wilderness, but stayed in the Zhongzhou Spirit Realm, and had been secretly spying on him?
This idea made Li Mu feel a palpitation. If this speculation was true, it meant that his every move might be under the surveillance of the Immortal Demon Lord. What's worse, the Immortal Demon Lord might be waiting for an opportunity to ambush him in the Cangyuan Secret Realm.
Li Mu frowned, and instantly realized the seriousness of the situation.
After a brief thought, Li Mu had a plan in mind.
If the situation is really like this, Li Mu decided to take the initiative, then he could choose to fight back! Invite Feng Jianzhu and Chen Jianzhu to go to Cangyuan Secret Realm together, and use their power to completely solve the hidden danger of the Immortal Demon Lord.
Thinking of this, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, but his mood soon became entangled again.
In another future scene, Xue'er failed to pass the seventh-level true spirit thunder tribulation, which means that she will die in the thunder tribulation, which is exactly what Li Mu cannot accept.
Regarding Xue'er, Li Mu has long regarded her as a relative. If Xue'er really died in the thunder tribulation, how would he feel at that time.
Li Mu's face showed a serious look. He couldn't sit back and watch such a thing happen, so he couldn't let Xue'er's practice go unattended anymore, and he had to be strict in the future.
Next, some future scenes are also good things. The battle in the Southern Wilderness Spirit Realm is more difficult than expected, with heavy casualties,..., failed to stop the invasion of the Demon Abyss forces, and the war between the two realms broke out,....
All kinds of bad futures frightened Li Mu, and he could not help but calm his mind, so that this divination caused the Fortune Turtle to overdraw and backfire, suffering heavy damage.
However, it was worth it. Knowing these situations in advance, there is still a chance to change. The branches of the tree of cause and effect are endless, and the tributaries of the river of time are endless. A little change can greatly change his fate.
Just as Li Mu was immersed in divination and thinking about the art of cracking, the eight major cultivation families in Zhongzhou began intensive preparations for the upcoming exploration of the Cangyuan secret realm. The most eye-catching of them all was the ranking competition for refining Dao soldiers.
The eight major families decided to let the three most outstanding disciples of the Huashen period in their families fight to compete on the same stage. This competition not only concerns the honor of the family, but also determines the order of refining Dao soldiers and enhances the family's strength to resist. .
The competition began, and the core disciples of the eight major families showed their magical powers. The fierce battle unfolded on the ring. For a time, spells flew and swords were everywhere. The audience was dazzled and their blood boiled.
Just as the eight major families focused on the ranking battle, an undercurrent was taking place in a corner of Jiyun City. Ji Wuheng, the elder of the Ji family, was led out of the family by a message of discovering a treasure. His figure quickly crossed the streets of the city. It seemed that an important person was waiting for him.
However, this hurried appointment was a carefully designed trap. When Ji Wuheng arrived at the agreed location, a gloomy atmosphere suddenly surged around, and the Immortal Demon Lord walked out of the shadows with a hideous and cruel smile on his face.
"You, you, you are the Immortal Demon Lord!"
Ji Wuheng, a demon cultivator in the fusion realm, recognized the other party's identity at once, and said in horror and despair.
"Ji Wuheng! Chi Chi, I want to borrow something." The Immortal Demon Lord smiled hideously, revealing deep malice in his smile, which made people shudder.
"Borrow what!"
Hearing this, Ji Wuheng's face turned pale, and he had realized that he was in danger. However, as an elder of the Ji family, he would never give up easily.
Ji Wuheng quickly mobilized the spiritual power in his body and prepared to perform the escape technique.
"Lend your head and use your identity." The Immortal Demon Lord said with a grim face.
As soon as the voice fell, the Immortal Demon Lord waved lightly, and a powerful dark energy burst out instantly. The demonic energy quickly condensed and turned into a black knife, which slashed towards Ji Wuheng with a fierce murderous aura.
Ji Wuheng released several magic weapons from the storage ring, the round spirit shield, the protective spirit talisman,..., and tried his best to resist, but the power released by the combined monk was too strong. The black magic knife cut off his defensive spirit armor, the round spirit shield, and the spirit shield as easily as cutting tofu, and slashed towards his neck.
The strength of the Immortal Demon Lord was far beyond his imagination. Although Ji Wuheng tried his best, the level gap of a major realm made it difficult for him to maintain it. His defense was broken again and again, and his body suffered heavy injuries one after another. Finally, under a heavy blow from the Immortal Demon Lord, Ji Wuheng fell heavily to the ground and completely lost the ability to resist.
In less than a hundred breaths, this crushing battle ended with Ji Wuheng's soul being invaded, his main consciousness being demonized, and dying.
