Was the Star Divination Art Really This Terrifying?
When Hua Xichen accidentally stepped into the first place of inheritance and the light of inheritance fell on Chu Xinghe, he didn't feel anything was wrong.
But when the second... third... fourth... and several more inheritances all fell to Chu Xinghe, Hua Xichen was completely dumbfounded...
Logically, shouldn't succession involve choosing a suitable person to carry it on?
This is the Spirit Beast Continent... Logically speaking, shouldn't I, Hua Xichen, be more suitable than Chu Xinghe to inherit the legacy?
Why did all these successors ignore me, Hua Xichen, and choose Chu Xinghe instead?
What the heck? You mean Chu Xinghe is a person with great fortune?
Everyone in the Three Continents knows about Chu Xinghe's great fortune... but am I, Hua Xichen, not considered someone with great fortune?
If my luck had been even slightly worse, would I have been able to obtain the Great Prophecy Art?
In the past, Hua Xichen felt that there wasn't much difference between him and Chu Xinghe in terms of luck...
But now Hua Xichen realizes that the difference between him and Chu Xinghe in terms of luck is greater than the difference between a human and a dog...
Moreover, when it comes to inheritance, it's not just about choosing someone with great fortune, but also about choosing someone suitable...
But several of these inheritances, like the weapon crafting inheritance... well... does Chu Xinghe even know anything about weapon crafting?
I, Hua Xichen, am from the Hua Clan, and we possess the power of the Vermilion Bird... Our clan is renowned for its weapon crafting...
Logically speaking, shouldn't this weapon-refining inheritance fall to me Hua Xichen?
But when the weapon-refining inheritance transformed into its spirit form and fell into Chu Xinghe's hands, Hua Xichen was dumbfounded!
Isn't this Heavenly Dao being a little too biased?
Chu Xinghe doesn't understand weapon crafting... Under these circumstances, the inheritance should have been given to Hua Xichen... But this inheritance would rather transform into a spirit and end up in Chu Xinghe's hands, allowing Chu Xinghe to pass it on to others... Why wouldn't it be passed on to me Hua Xichen?
Aside from weapon crafting... various inheritances would instantly transform into spirits and fall into Chu Xinghe's hands... time and time again... leaving even Hua Xichen completely bewildered...
But Hua Xichen soon realized... perhaps it was because of the Great Prophecy Art...
The Great Prophecy Art has vanished, and it has also taken away my fortune... So now I have not only lost the Great Prophecy Art, but also my original fortune...
That's why he was completely ignored by the Heavenly Dao...
Chu Xinghe n't know if Hua Xichen was being targeted... but he knew for sure that he was definitely being targeted...
This is a damn Misfortune Compass... Can't you at least put on an act?
How many of these inheritances are unique to the Spirit Beast Continent... like those beast taming inheritances, you dare to transform them into inheritance spirits and give them to me, Chu Xinghe...
Are you trying to give that to Chu Xinghe?
Why don't you just write the name of the Beast Taming Palace on it?
These Beast Taming Art... Couldn't you at least give Hua Xichen one or two, even just a little bit of acting?
Is it really okay for you to completely ignore Hua Xichen like this?
Hua Xichen comes from the Spirit Beast Continent, and he truly possesses his own Beast Taming Art... But me, Chu Xinghe... I don't know a damn thing about Beast Taming Art!
Although the last time the Beast God had a disagreement, he had imprinted all the Beast Taming Art into Chu Xinghe's mind.
But Chu Xinghe swore to the heavens... he hadn't learned a single thing...
That's purely to strengthen the entire Vast Heaven Holy Land...
Tell me, what the hell use are those Beast Taming Art if I, Chu Xinghe, learn them?
Other members of the sect who learn Beast Taming Art can enhance their combat power... they can all cooperate with the Nebula Spirit Cat and strengthen their own beast taming abilities.
But damn it, my spirit beast, Chu Xinghe's, is Beast God...
Is it reasonable for me to learn Beast Taming Art to control Beast Gods?
It's been almost ten days since he entered the Land of Bewildered Spirits... During these ten days, Chu Xinghe had prepared for a bloody battle all the way...
But to my utter surprise... it turned into a windfall...
For the past ten days, Chu Xinghe had prepared himself for all sorts of dangers... but danger is danger... what the hell does it mean that this danger only affects me Chu Xinghe?
Where are the monsters roaming the Land of Bewildered Spirits?
What happened to the promise of constant danger inside?
Where are the monsters? Where is the danger?
So, am I here to buy Hua Xichen instead of bringing them here?
Although Chu Xinghe was in distress, as he continued forward, the surrounding mist gradually thickened, and finally, starting from the eleventh day, no more treasures or inheritances appeared. Only then did Chu Xinghe finally breathe a sigh of relief...
The surrounding fog has now reduced visibility to less than five meters... and no landmarks can be seen anymore.
At this moment, this place feels like an endless world of mist; no matter which direction you walk, it seems to stretch on forever.
Hua Xichen stayed close to Chu Xinghe, not daring to stray more than two meters away... There was no other way... This misty world was the most terrifying central area of Land of Bewildered Spirits...
This area is said to be so dangerous that even a god could get lost inside; it's unlike any other maze.
Typical mazes create various confusing areas or structures to make you lose your way... or some mazes use various branching paths to prevent you from finding the correct route.
But none of that is the most terrifying thing... The most terrifying thing is this Land of Bewildered Spirits right before our eyes...
You can't see anything but fog. There's no sense of direction here, only forward, backward, left, and right... You can't even be sure if you're still walking Xiangqian as before.
If a normal person were to enter this area, they would essentially have no chance of finding the correct passage, except perhaps wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly.
Hua Xichen naturally knew how terrifying this Land of Bewildered Spirits was. Even in his era when he possessed Great Prophecy Art, he dared not easily set foot here, because one wrong move and he might truly get lost inside.
But when Hua Xichen looked at Chu Xinghe, Hua Xichen was once again shocked by Chu Xinghe's composure.
Hua Xichen couldn't see the slightest bit of panic on Chu Xinghe's face. What was even more terrifying was that Chu Xinghe didn't even need to figure out his direction; he just walked Xiangqian unsteadily with his hands behind his back...
If Hua Xichen hadn't witnessed so many amazing things about Chu Xinghe these past few days, he might have even doubted whether Chu Xinghe had made the right decision!
"Brother Xinghe... this fog's ability to disorient you is too strong... I think you should be more careful, and it would be best to activate the Star Divination Art to confirm the correct path..."
Hua Xichen spoke up from the side to remind him. It wasn't that Hua Xichen didn't trust Chu Xinghe's Star Divination Art; after all, Hua Xichen himself had possessed Great Prophecy Art.
But this fog is too terrifying... Think about it... Even if you have great Great Prophecy Art and use them to deduce the correct path... the problem is, although people seem to be moving Xiangqian, they are not actually walking in a perfectly straight line.
If a person closes their eyes and keeps moving forward, the path they take will inevitably lead to an irregular circle.
Therefore, even if you use the Great Prophecy Art, you can temporarily determine the correct path, but because you are not always moving Xiangqian, you may deviate after a while, and you will need to continue to use the Great Prophecy Art to calibrate where the correct path is...
Only through repeated attempts can the right path be found.
However, Hua Xichen discovered that Chu Xinghe had no intention of activating the Star Divination Art at all; Chu Xinghe simply Xiangqian with his hands behind his back... Wasn't this a bit too confident?
Just as Hua Xichen was about to advise Chu Xinghe to be more cautious... the fog ahead began to thin out... and as the fog dissipated... a river seemed to flow out of the darkness... and then stretched into the deep darkness in the distance, eventually disappearing into the darkness.
Hua Xichen was completely stunned by the sudden appearance of the river...
Is the Star Divination Art really that terrifying?
Hua Xichen has always believed that the Great Prophecy Art is the strongest divine art in the world, and that the Star Divination Art is not even in the same league as the Great Prophecy Art...
Hua Xichen even found confirmation of this idea in countless ancient books. In all of these books, it was believed that the Star Divination Art was definitely inferior to the Great Prophecy Art, and a very few even believed that the Star Divination Art was completely fake... and not a real divine art at all...
But today, Hua Xichen said he was wrong... all the ancient books were wrong...
The terror of the Star Divination Art far surpasses that of the Great Prophecy Art...
Even with his Great Prophecy Art, he could never have escaped the fog so quickly... He might even have been briefly lost within it. Yet, thanks to Chu Xinghe's Star Divination Art, they somehow managed to stroll right here...
This place, known as the Land of Bewildered Spirits death is almost certain, they've come all this way without encountering the slightest danger... Isn't that a bit too absurd?
Now that he had found this river... Hua Xichen knew he was not far from the Well of Prophecy. As long as he kept moving Xiangqian along this river, he would surely find the Well of Prophecy.
Sure enough... as the two continued Xiangqian along the river... the surroundings no longer seemed to belong to the Spirit Beast Continent, but had transformed into a separate, smaller world...
The surrounding darkness began to dissipate... replaced by rolling mountains and a clear sky...
The river water was no longer black, but flowed normally.
At this Hua Xichen knew... this was the legendary Well of Prophecy. The Well of Prophecy was not actually located in the Spirit Beast Continent, but in a separate small world...
This is why Hua Xichen knew that only Chu Xinghe could lead him here.
Normally, without the Great Prophecy Art, it would be impossible to enter the small world where the Well of Prophecy is located. Without the Great Prophecy Art, theoretically, it would be impossible to find the Well of Prophecy. However, Chu Xinghe's Star Divination Art brought Hua Xichen infinite possibilities.
Now, looking ahead at the end of the river... there was a whirlpool of dazzling colors. Looking at this whirlpool, Hua Xichen knew that as long as he passed through that whirlpool, he would arrive at the world of the Well of Prophecy... Chu Xinghe had indeed brought him to this world he had longed for.
Overjoyed, Hua Xichen pulled Chu Xinghe towards the vortex, but as they passed through it, intending to enter the world of the Well of Prophecy... a bizarre scene unfolded...
The two did indeed pass through the vortex, but they did not arrive in the world of the Well of Prophecy. The vortex seemed like a wisp of mist, as if it didn't actually exist, and they were merely passed through it without being transported into the world of the Well of Prophecy...
Hua Xichen tried repeatedly, but despite trying from various angles countless times, he could not pass through the vortex and reach the Well of Prophecy...
Just as Hua Xichen was looking completely bewildered, a voice slowly emanated from the vortex. "The Heavenly Dao cannot be reversed, just as the river cannot flow backward... How can what is lost ever be regained..."
Accompanied by this voice, an elderly man with white hair and beard slowly emerged from the five-colored vortex... He was from the world of the Well of Prophecy...
