"It was merely some superficial insight and experience. Fellow Daoist Wan was able to produce a divination secret art as profound as the Art of Heavenly Derivation, so you should have your own understanding of the Dao of karma. Would you be willing to discuss the Dao with me?" Wu Yu took the opportunity to invite him.

"Master overestimates Wan. The Art of Heavenly Derivation came from a friend of mine, and she may indeed have considerable insight into this Dao. Though I have contemplated it for many years, I have never managed to enter its gates, so I would not dare flaunt my skill before an expert," Yuan Ming said hastily, shaking his head.

"Then could Fellow Daoist Wan perhaps act as an intermediary and introduce me to this friend of yours? I am truly curious about the origins of the Art of Heavenly Derivation and have many questions I wish to ask her." Wu Yu looked at Yuan Ming, an unusual light flickering in her eyes.

Yuan Ming suddenly understood. After saying so much to him, this had been Wu Yu's true purpose.

"My apologies. That friend lives very far from the Ten Thousand Monster Mountain Range, so I fear she cannot meet with Fellow Daoist. As for the origins of the Art of Heavenly Derivation, she once said she obtained it from some ruins. As for precisely where, even she likely no longer remembers." Yuan Ming decisively extinguished Wu Yu's desire to get to the bottom of the matter.

Wu Yu also realized Yuan Ming's thoughts. She merely sighed, then silently returned to her seat.

"Though I cannot have that friend come here, I will certainly pass on Master's message afterward and invite her to meet with you," Yuan Ming added.

"Then many thanks, Fellow Daoist Wan.
