Although the Eight Trigrams Sequence could guide the convoy through divination, he essentially had to think of something first before he could calculate whether a particular place was safe.
That was why he had previously led the convoy straight into the Anomaly Realm, only to encounter extreme heat after finally managing to get out.

His abilities leaned more toward the Fuxi Eight Trigrams, along with the powers represented by the eight trigrams themselves.
The same was true of Fang Hong, who possessed the Heavenly Mandate Sequence.
The Heavenly Mandate Sequence and the Eight Trigrams Sequence were roughly equal when it came to serving as Guides.
If the Eight Trigrams Sequence relied on Captain Hui preparing ahead of time and calculating the conditions up ahead, then the Heavenly Mandate Sequence simply followed fate's guidance without thinking.

The wind would tell her
