Changsheng Demon Lord, I'll Teach You Divination!
After obtaining the Supreme Nascent Soul Liquid, the Primordial Spirit that Shan Ting grew to be several hundred feet larger, and upon closer inspection, it was more than two hundred feet in size.
The Supreme Nascent Soul Liquid truly lived up to its reputation as a treasure, allowing Shan Ting's Primordial Spirit to undergo a tremendous transformation.
But when Shan Ting realized her own transformation, she couldn't help but sigh.
"Changsheng Demon Lord, I am still too weak. My Primordial Spirit has only grown by two hundred feet. Compared to you, I am not even as good as a single hair of yours. But Changsheng Demon Lord, rest assured, I will work hard until one day I can follow in your footsteps."
Although Shan Ting appeared very sad, Lu Changsheng could tell that he was actually quite happy.
Sure enough, if you're going to lick, you have to lick hard.
It's not scary to fawn over an elephant; what's scary is wanting to fawn over it but being too embarrassed to do so. That's the scariest thing.
"I have a feeling that the temple is hiding something."
Lu Changsheng ignored Shan Ting's flattery and simply pointed to the divine palace that was gradually drifting in from not far away.
"Changsheng Demon Lord, this divine palace looks very ordinary and quite gloomy. The contents of the treasure chest must have been opened by someone."
"But because you took another look at this ordinary shrine, it seems to me to have a kind of profound simplicity. Beneath its unremarkable appearance lies a hidden mystery."
"The Changsheng Demon Lord, you are truly amazing."
When Shan Ting opened his mouth, Lu Changsheng really didn't know how to answer.
If the world's sycophants had ten measures, he, Shan Ting, would have eight, Liu Qingfeng would have one, and the rest would belong to everyone else.
"Let's go take a look."
Without wasting any words, Lu Changsheng flew straight over.
The shrine wasn't very large, and it was entirely gray, as if it had lost its divine charm.
Upon entering the shrine, a series of cracking and creaking sounds soon arose, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
Lu Changsheng was quite cautious as he walked into the Divine Palace.
Soon, Shan Ting voice rang out.
"I sensed the aura of Supreme Devil Artifact!"
His words startled Lu Changsheng.
It's really here?
He really didn't expect it to be so easy to find.
Upon entering the divine palace, the Nascent Soul Treasure Chest lay on the ground, but it had already been opened.
"The aura of Devil Artifact is in the treasure chest."
Upon Shan Ting this, he instantly sensed the aura of the Devil Artifact.
However, when Lu Changsheng arrived in front of the treasure chest, no miracle occurred. The treasure chest was empty, but there were indeed wisps of demonic energy surrounding it.
"Someone beat us to it?"
Lu Changsheng frowned. The Devil God Ancient Ring was gone just like that, which truly disappointed him.
"Someone beat me to it, but with this wisp of demonic energy, I can track it down."
Using its trunk, Shan Ting sucked in a wisp of demonic energy surrounding the treasure chest, and then continued its distinctive trunk-twisting technique.
A full hour.
That's right, Shan Ting spent a whole hour twisting his nose. Even if he wasn't dizzy, Lu Changsheng would be dizzy just watching him.
"Phew! Phew!" Fortunately, an hour later, Shan Ting stopped the divination and prediction.
"The Changsheng Demon Lord, this divine palace was opened three thousand years ago. Someone took the Devil God Ancient Ring from the treasure chest, but I can't figure out who that person is."
Shan Ting to what others say makes the quest for the Ring even more mysterious.
"If you can't even divine who it is, then there's some trouble."
Lu Changsheng frowned. Shan Ting could deduce everything in the world, but if even Shan Ting didn't know, things would become much more troublesome.
"Sigh, if that guy were here, maybe he would know who it is."
Shan Ting muttered something under his breath.
"Who?"
Lu Changsheng became curious. Were there any Immortal Beast more powerful than Shan Ting?
"A book!" Shan Ting replied.
"A book?" Lu Changsheng, somewhat curious.
"Yes, it is known as the Omniscient Tome, one of the three great divine books of the Six Realms. However, this book has been missing for a long time. It is said that this book knows everything, and obtaining this book can lead to the path of the Immortal Emperor. Therefore, every time it appears, it brings countless bloodshed and chaos."
"Later, it was said that this book of Omniscient Tome made him feel that he would bring misfortune to the Six Realms, so he went somewhere unknown, perhaps hiding his identity."
Shan Ting this, Lu Changsheng was surprised.
As expected of the Upper Realm, it's full of strange and wonderful things, even this kind of thing exists.
"By the way, Changsheng Demon Lord, are you capable of divination and fortune-telling?"
Shan Ting to what he says and ask Lu Changsheng.
"Divination and fortune-telling? I know a little bit about it."
Lu Changsheng nodded. He knew a little about it when he was in the Lower Realm, but he had never used it many times.
After all, divination and fortune-telling are not very useful.
"Changsheng Demon Lord, how about I teach you? You can try and see if you can deduce it. Maybe it's because my Primordial Spirit isn't strong enough. Divination and prognosis depend on the strength of the Primordial Spirit and one's luck."
"You're so lucky. Try it for a while, and you might just figure it out."
Shan Ting to what is said.
"That makes sense, we can give it a try." Lu Changsheng nodded thoughtfully.
You know what, that actually makes a lot of sense.
"Changsheng Demon Lord, let me first tell you about the key points of the art of divination and deduction."
"Divination and prediction are divided into three stages. The first stage is divination with objects. For example, if there are two caves in front of you, one is the Life Gate and the other is the Death Gate, take out a wooden stick, turn it around, and wherever it points, that is the way to life."
"Most newly initiated cultivators use tortoise shells and copper coins for divination. These things are spiritual, but one must make reasonable deductions based on divination books."
Shan Ting this, Lu Changsheng inexplicably recalled some memories, as if he had done such a thing before.
"This second stage is a bit more sophisticated. It can be deduced with a few calculations, but it requires a powerful Primordial Spirit. Of course, every cultivator has a different algorithm. For example, I use the nose-swinging method."
"The third stage is extremely terrifying, where one uses their own destiny to deduce the Heavenly Dao."
"The strongest result of divination is to trace back to the past, allowing all the things that happened in the past to appear before us. However, Changsheng Demon Lord, let's not rush. Let's take it one step at a time, starting with the first stage."
"Here is a tortoise shell and a few copper coins. Try tossing them, and then use this book of divination to make predictions."
Shan Ting and found a tortoise shell, a few copper coins, and a Daoist book, and said this.
Shan Ting and gave Lu Changsheng careful guidance.
Lu Changsheng also studied very diligently.
Soon, he took the tortoise shell and dropped in a few copper coins.
I shook it casually.
Then throw it out.
Shan Ting, who was standing to the side, then spoke up.
"The Changsheng Demon Lord, divination is a profound art. It's just a pity that my strength is insufficient. If I were to truly reach my peak, I would have one in a hundred chances to trace back to the past when I perform divination."
Shan Ting to mutterings.
However, just as Lu Changsheng threw the copper coin on the ground...
The entire shrine was enveloped in a layer of black light.
In an instant, Shan Ting was stunned.
His voice was slightly stuttering.
"Going back to the past?"
