Direction of Metamorphosis, Heavenly Secrets Divine Calculation

The moment Su Li drank the 'Nine Radiance Heart-Inquiry Tea', his mind became crystal clear, and he suddenly achieved enlightenment!

Like a final burst of light before death, the entirety of his life, including his past life before transmigration, rapidly replayed in his mind!

Then, he suddenly realized, this won't do, I must change!

This was an incredibly cruel world. He thought that the more precise and detailed his deductions were, the more he could awe and command respect from others! But it was the exact opposite! Being too detailed would make others think he was plotting, scheming, and had ulterior motives! Someone like Hua Ziyan, who lacked deep cunning, would think this way, let alone ancient Yao!

Even more terrifying was that the more you knew, the faster you died! Because no one liked having their core secrets, or even taboos, known by others!

The saying "a favor of a scoop of rice can be forgotten, but a debt of a peck of rice will be remembered" was universally true!

Therefore, from now on, regarding Heavenly Secrets, he would offer casual guidance, a slight hint, and whether they believed it or not was up to them!

Also, he absolutely had to put on airs! Although he had put on some airs before, it was far from enough!

He had overestimated these Cultivators and underestimated himself!

For these eighteen years, he had feigned madness and foolishness, surviving by hiding, and had truly turned himself into a good-for-nothing! Even after obtaining the system and the ability to see others' Life Archives, he still treated himself as an ordinary person! He was still thinking of showing off, of being valued, even of risking his life to protect them?!

How naive and laughable such a thought was! But this was also because he was undeserving of his current position!

Without the strength, fame, and status, even if he deduced a world-ending catastrophe, others would only dismiss it as alarmist talk!

His 'Life Archive System' was so powerful and heaven-defying. With such an ability, even if he was eager to obtain a large amount of Heavenly Secrets Value, if he still casually helped others with deductions, it would truly lack prestige!

Why were the Heavenly Secrets Masters of this world untouchable?

Why were ordinary Observers of Trends enough to make many powerful Cultivators wary?

Why were the Heavenly Secrets Masters of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion personally welcomed by the Holy Lords wherever they went? And treated as honored guests by the lords of ancient lands?

In the end, it all came down to the ability to control Heavenly Secrets!

And his ability, compared to Zhuge Qingchen's ability, was not just a little bit stronger, but how much stronger?

At least, in terms of deductions, he was absolutely far, far stronger than the other party!

To then proactively seek out people for deductions? To even smile obsequiously? How pathetic was that! It was as if his head had been kicked by a donkey!

What is unattainable is always in motion, what is attained, is tasteless... no, what is attained is not cherished!

Therefore, the series of thoughts he had before were not only wrong, but gravely mistaken!

Su Li's expression appeared calm, but inwardly, his mind was in turmoil.

From the moment he drank that sip of 'Nine Radiance Heart-Inquiry Tea', he realized that his previous behavior was not that of a master, but rather that of a nouveau riche!

Even worse, although he mentioned the difficulty of cultivation in the name of his friend, he had actually still vaguely exposed his own drawback of 'inability to cultivate,' which was simply... utterly foolish!

Although Hua Yunxiao, Zhuge Qingchen, and even Yun Wanchu were not entirely certain about this drawback at the moment, they had definitely begun to suspect it!

"I shouldn't have come to this Wanli Holy Land! Once this matter is resolved, I will leave immediately!"

Su Li had already made up his mind!

For the first time, he realized that apart from his peerless looks, which even heaven envied, he was lacking in all other aspects!

Fortunately, whether it was Mu Yuxi, Hua Ziyan, Yun Wanchu, or Hua Yunxiao, the character of these four people had, so far, been very good.

Even Zhuge Qingchen was very upright and open!

If he had encountered someone with malicious intentions, who had suppressed and imprisoned him with sinister means, forced him to make various deductions, or even forcibly taken over his body and refined his Soul to pry into his secrets...

Su Li dared not even think about such a consequence.

Holding the Heart-Inquiry Tea, Su Li took several more sips, his mood gradually calming down.

This accidental encounter made him realize his 'intellectual' crisis.

Before transmigration, while not exactly brilliant, he certainly wasn't stupid.

But in this cruel world, this was a very serious 'hidden danger'!

Based on this consideration, Su Li's desire for the 'Latent Dragon Pill' grew even stronger.

At the same time, Su Li also discovered that the 'Nine Radiance Heart-Inquiry Tea' was effective for him!

This was not like the 'temporary' effect after taking the Qi Replenishing Pill before, but rather like cleansing the Soul, allowing one to see their true nature, and placing them in a state of absolute calm and control.

Su Li quite liked this state.

"What a fine cup of Nine Radiance Heart-Inquiry Tea!"

After a long while, Su Li let out a breath of stale air and exclaimed in admiration.

Hua Yunxiao, Yun Wanchu, Hua Ziyan, and the others had been paying close attention to Su Li's expression. Upon hearing this, they all showed relieved smiles.

Although Hua Yunxiao desperately wanted a sip, upon hearing Su Li's praise, he immediately signaled to Yun Qingxuan, Yun Qinghong, and Hua Ziyan.

Yun Qingxuan, Yun Qingxuan, and Hua Ziyan immediately understood.

"Master Su, since you like this tea, then Qingxuan would like to offer this 'Nine Radiance Heart-Inquiry Tea' to Master Su as a gift. Master Su has saved our lives, so you must accept this pot of tea."

Yun Qingxuan bowed gracefully.

Su Li had already decided to change, so he was no longer acting casually, lazily, and amiably.

He withdrew his smile, his expression very calm: "This is your fortune, I merely offered a casual enlightenment. One cup is to acknowledge your kind intentions. The rest, you can divide amongst yourselves."

He did not accept the 'Purple Rhyme Pot'.

Although the 'Nine Radiance Heart-Inquiry Tea' was good, the previous cup was already quite a lot, and by the end, it had little effect.

More importantly, he had no Spiritual Qi, so he couldn't activate the Purple Rhyme Pot or pour the tea.

Of course, this was definitely not the real reason he didn't want the tea; he was never a greedy person.

Since he had decided to play the role of a true master, a Heavenly Secrets divine calculator, he definitely needed to maintain his prestige.

Asking for help with every little thing, how could a master maintain his dignity?

Others might not think much of it, but he himself could not indulge his weaknesses or tolerate such a low-level occurrence!

Yun Qingxuan was stunned, and then her heart rippled once more—this was 'Nine Radiance Heart-Inquiry Tea'!

A peerless holy water, rumored to be 'one cup, one Saint Infant'!

Hua Yunxiao looked deeply at Su Li, his eyes filled with even more admiration.

Yun Wanchu observed the situation and immediately said, "Since Master Su says so, then, Yun Qingxuan, why aren't you quickly thanking Master Su for his generous gift!"

"Yun Qingxuan thanks Master Su for his generous gift."

Yun Qingxuan bowed again.

Su Li nodded slightly, calmly accepting her bow.

"Holy Lord, since Master Su said this is an opportunity for everyone... then, Holy Lord, you and this esteemed guest, please go first."

Yun Qingxuan was quite clear-headed.

Although this tea was precious and she was the one who brought it out, she knew what she should and shouldn't do.

She didn't know 'Hua Yunxiao', but she knew that this person's origins were extraordinary. He was addressed as 'esteemed guest' by the Holy Lord and as 'Imperial Lord' by Zhuge Qingchen!

In total, there were over ten people present, and each of them received a cup of Nine Radiance Heart-Inquiry Tea.

After drinking it, Su Li glanced at Hua Ziyan and said, "Fairy Li, come here."

Hua Ziyan was currently in a state of transformation. Although she had many sudden insights, she suppressed all her thoughts at this moment and immediately came before Su Li.

Hua Yunxiao understood and paused his enlightenment. He immediately waved his hand and released a light screen, protecting and isolating Su Li and Hua Ziyan.

"Master Su."

Hua Ziyan bowed slightly, her voice soft and full of respect.

Su Li checked her Life Archive, and the result on the system panel's archive information showed that the Destiny column still had the four scarlet and glaring characters 'About to Perish'!

Su Li did not spend 1000 Heavenly Secrets Value to investigate further.

He took out the Six Roots Nine Night Spirit Sunflower Cold Stems and performed a divination on the spot.

This divination instantly yielded a Feng Di Guan Hexagram, with the hexagram image being 'oo××××' (see the bonus chapter at the end of the chapter for details).

This was an upper-middle hexagram, with the hexagram text: A magpie encounters the late sky and roosts in the woods, unaware that a stork is already in the woods. Though sharing the same space, malice arises; an event encountered outside the hexagram is not trivial.

The basic interpretation of this was: Difficulty first, then ease; planning affairs is not easy; passing through festivals, worries turn to joy.

This hexagram is formed by the interweaving of two different hexagrams (lower Kun, upper Xun), with wind moving over the earth, symbolizing the pervasive spread of virtuous teachings. The Guan hexagram and the Lin hexagram are complementary hexagrams, used in conjunction. Those above observe the world with righteousness; those below look up with reverence, and people's hearts are submissive and obedient.

Judging from Hua Ziyan's great image, it was wind moving over the earth of Kun, with yin growing and yang declining, the righteous path weakening, and all things finding it difficult to proceed.

From the perspective of Destiny, she was in the midst of change. It was advisable to observe meticulously, comprehend earnestly, and guard against the invasion of inner demons. Only through such cautious cultivation could she grasp the Heavenly Secrets.

In other words, by maintaining the most confident mindset and a cautious state, reflecting on the shortcomings of past cultivation, there would be a turning point in her destiny! And if she could receive the help of elders (benefactors), this opportunity would be continuously amplified!

Su Li had previously checked Hua Ziyan's Destiny and knew that her enlightenment before being ambushed and killed was likely reasonable.

Now, having calculated such a hexagram, Su Li planned to let Hua Ziyan try the method she had enlightened.

Having just drunk the Nine Radiance Heart-Inquiry Tea, with him, a 'benefactor,' and Hua Yunxiao present, it was highly possible that Hua Ziyan's current 'destiny tribulation' could be broken!

If she broke the destiny tribulation without 'seeing the future,' would the Heavenly Secrets Value she obtained directly skyrocket?

Su Li was full of anticipation!
