"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, may the divine image of Fuxi be with me!"

Zhang Xuezhou only needs to silently recite the incantation to perform the art of physiognomy, and then press his hand on the forehead of the person being treated.

However, when facing someone with a higher level of cultivation, no amount of thorough preparation is excessive.

Yao Yuanguang borrowed an altar from Jinxia Yuanjun and respectfully set up the altar to perform the ritual. The borrowed Bagua robe made him look more serious than his charlatan appearance.

In addition to using Zhang Xuezhou's body to perform the spell, Yao Yuanguang also arranged nine tortoise shell Law Artifact.

After a series of elaborate chanting rituals, Yao Yuanguang finally looked seriously at the person to be treated.

"Third Prince, would you please come down from the altar?"

Looking at Nezha swinging his legs on the altar, Yao Yuanguang felt that the difficulty of this spell might be beyond his imagination.

Hongku, backed by the Yedie River Holy Land, still fared so poorly, his life would have been even more difficult under the Han Dynasty's suppression of schools of thought.

Yao Yuanguang's cultivation reached the Divine Ability Realm only after countless hardships, and this was achieved through years of hard work.

Over such a long period of time, not only has his cultivation been honed through countless trials, but Yao Yuanguang's Technique Method have also become second nature, making it almost effortless when targeting those with lower cultivation levels.

However, this is undoubtedly his weakness when facing those with higher cultivation levels.

The reasons are simple. First, the difference in skill levels inevitably leads to difficulties in performing the technique and a decline in accuracy. Second, Yao Yuanguang rarely performs the technique on people at this level, and he usually lacks experience.

He respectfully invited the nonchalant Nezha down, and then asked him to sit in the center of the nine tortoise-shell Law Artifact.

After much persuasion, Yao Yuanguang finally convinced Nezha to wait patiently, and then waved to Zhang Xuezhou.

"Peering into the future is taboo. For example, if you could see things about yourself several or even ten years from now, the allure of exploring the unknown would be far greater than any illusion, making it easy to become addicted and unable to extricate oneself," Yao Yuanguang said. "However, being subject to the influence of time and space, we will forget everything we have seen after a while. Therefore, you must not become addicted to it. We need to quickly turn to the subject's future, and then use the subject's guidance to break free from the physiognomy's influence, to see what future deductions and calculations remain."

"What are the consequences if one cannot break free from the influence of physiognomy?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"As I said," Yao Yuanguang said, "Once you become addicted to it, your soul will continuously age, and may even die."

"I understand. Just get me out of there," Zhang Xuezhou said. "I have no interest in my future and won't think about studying it!"

"Please!"

Yao Yuanguang gestured, and Zhang Xuezhou immediately stood in front of him.

Then Yao Yuanguang stood behind, chanting incantations and performing magic.

A faint blue Law Power light emanated from Yao Yuanguang's body, and Zhang Xuezhou's fingers were now covered with a layer of Technique Method radiance.

He murmured the same incantation as Yao Yuanguang, following the same steps he used to cast the spell.

The two Person-Fixing Technique, one in front of the other, while their voices switched back and forth.

When Yao Yuanguang pointed at the back of Zhang Xuezhou's head, Zhang Xuezhou also stretched out his finger and pressed it on the forehead like Nezha.

As if he didn't like being touched, Nezha's head twitched slightly.

But when Jinxia Yuanjun coughed to remind him, he barely managed to sit back down.

With a finger pressed on Nezha's forehead, Nezha's eyes began to look empty and lifeless. Zhang Xuezhou and Yao Yuanguang couldn't help but tremble. The nine tortoise shells on the ground swayed back and forth, like small boats tossing in the waves.

"Great Immortal, what's wrong with them? Should we detonate that Fire Spirit Orb now?!"

Standing a few feet away from Jinxia Yuanjun, Rong Tianding also looked anxious, wishing he could ignite the Fire Spirit Orb right now and burn Yao Yuanguang to ashes.

Zhang Xuezhou's task for Rong Tianding was clearly quite successful; the moment the spell began to take shape, Rong was already preparing to kill Yao Yuanguang.

"You don't need to worry. This is just because my senior brother's cultivation is too high, causing them some minor backlash. It's a normal phenomenon," Jinxia Yuanjun said helplessly. "Don't rush to ignite the Fire Spirit Pearl. After all, this matter has only just begun!"

"This is just the beginning!"

Rong Tianding sighed, his expression clearly showing some regret.

This made Jinxia Yuanjun blink, and then she called her disciple to bring a roasted deer leg.

"Go over there and eat at your leisure. If you're going to kill Xiao Yao, I'll let you know," said Jinxia Yuanjun.

"Okay... fine!"

Rong Tianding really wanted to stick to Zhang Xuezhou's instructions, but when he saw the deer leg provided by Jinxia Yuanjun, he felt his stomach suddenly give in.

He tried his best to control his appetite, nibbling on the deer leg in small bites, while glancing at Zhang Xuezhou and Yao Yuanguang every now and then.

The divination duo looked like patients with malaria, while a lotus flower emerged from Nezha's head, slowly circling and rotating.

"My senior brothers have revealed their true forms; it seems they do possess some real skill!"

Rong Tianding's heart was with Zhang Xuezhou, while Jinxia Yuanjun's heart was with Nezha.

No matter how mischievous Nezha is, he will always stand up for Jinxia Yuanjun whenever it comes to her.

It's rare for a cultivator at the Sole Self Realm to be in charge of a Heavenly Gate, but with Nezha protecting him, no one has any objections.

This was perhaps the best contingency plan left by his master, bestowing blessings upon him for a full thousand years, and allowing Jinxia Yuanjun to survive to this day.

Just like Yao Yuanguang's fear of death, Jinxia Yuanjun became more and more worried about problems as she got older, always wanting Nezha to be stronger and stronger, so that he could live well even if he grew old and died one day.

However, the Technique Method to destroy the armor with magic failed, so Jinxia Yuanjun had no choice but to seek divination to see if there were any hints or areas to avoid.

These are fortune tellers, and also the group with the greatest potential to help people change their fate.

Normally, a great geomancer would rarely do things that shorten one's lifespan, but the existence of the longevity elixir ensured that there were as few worries as possible, which led Yao Yuanguang to participate in this matter.

In this day and age, it is difficult to find a fortune teller, and even more difficult to find a master fortune teller. A master fortune teller who can apply his Divine Ability powers to the art of physiognomy is extremely rare.

If the estimation is correct, after the current sect leader of the Fuxi Physiognomy School, Xu Fu, passed away, Yao Yuanguang is very likely to become the number one physiognomist in the Southern Jambudvipa Continent.

Jinxia Yuanjun took a deep breath.

He has already consulted the most skilled fortune teller, hoping to get the result he wants.

In the quiet waiting, Jinxia Yuanjun saw the incense on the altar burning continuously downwards, and Zhang Xuezhou and Yao Yuanguang's bodies trembling uncontrollably.

After a long time, a loud 'bang' rang out, and the tortoise shell Law Artifact placed next to Nezha flipped over and then shattered into pieces.

"Oh no!"

Jinxia Yuanjun was not proficient in physiognomy, but she knew at least some related knowledge. She was well aware that the shattering of the turtle shell used in divination was an ominous sign, meaning that Zhang Xuezhou and Yao Yuanguang, the duo who performed the ritual, had encountered risks, even the risk of their demise, thus causing the Law Artifact to be damaged and replaced.
