Chapter 1742

Gu Chen's expression was solemn. He couldn't tell what the Great Prophet had done. What he was experiencing right now seemed to be similar to Dong Xianzhi's disappearance.

Dong Xianzhi had mysteriously disappeared right under his nose. He had also mysteriously been pulled away from the Sacred Island. Even Tyrannical Grand Map had dissipated on its own.

If he didn't understand the profoundness of the Great Prophet, it wouldn't be easy to take him down.

"What kind of daoist technique is this?"

Gu Chen didn't take any further action. He stood with his hands behind his back and probed.

"This is the Minor Intervention Technique. Like the Minor Spiritual Word Technique, it's a daoist technique derived from the Great Prophecy Technique. It's also commonly known as one of the 8,555 Minor Techniques."

"The Minor Intervention Technique can intervene before something is set to happen, thereby correcting the consequences," the Great Prophet answered straightforwardly.

The Great Prophet answered readily. His honesty surprised Gu Chen. He had thought that the Great Prophet would not tell him much about such a powerful Taoist technique.

"Intervening before something is set to happen. It sounds mysterious. Is this time reversal or spatial transfer? "Gu Chen pondered.

"Each of the eight great techniques is born from the Primordial Daoist Law. They can't be simply categorized into one type of law. They are often all-encompassing. The Minor Intervention Technique is derived from the Great Prophecy Technique. It's naturally the same principle, "the Great Prophet explained.

"You mean this daoist technique contains the profound meaning of spacetime, but there are other mysteries?" Gu Chen still couldn't understand.

If time was reversed, then when he wanted to kill Dong Xianzhi but returned to his original position, Dong Xianzhi shouldn't have disappeared. Instead, he should have returned to his original state.

However, if it was just spatial transfer, then his attack shouldn't have been affected. Tyrannical Grand Map shouldn't have disappeared. Even he himself didn't notice it.

This Minor Intervention Technique was a little strange.

"It sounds difficult to understand, but Old Man, give me an example. You'll understand."

The Great Prophet was very patient. A gust of wind blew on the surface of the lake, blowing away the fog within a certain range. In its place, a mirage image appeared.

It was a figure with a knife in his left hand and a hare in his right. He was about to slit the hare's throat.

"The next moment, the man will kill the hare. This is the simplest prophecy. Is the Old Man right?" the Great Prophet asked.

Gu Chen nodded slightly.

"If I had interfered in this matter before the man made his move, would the prophecy not have come true?"

As soon as the Great Prophet finished speaking, the knife in the man's hand disappeared into thin air. His plan to kill the hare had failed.

Gu Chen looked surprised and thoughtful.

"Interfering with certain things in advance within the space-time of a given fact, thereby influencing and changing the outcome. That is the true essence of Minor Interference," the Great Prophet said with a smile.

"With such a powerful dao technique, wouldn't he be invincible?"

Gu Chen took a deep breath. He realized how terrifying this dao technique would be if used well.

"Minor Interference Technique is good, but it has a weakness. To put it bluntly, it has a limit. The Old Man can influence the knife in the man's hand and make it disappear, but the man still has countless ways to kill the hare. "

"The Old Man can only interfere with one factor. It doesn't mean that the final outcome can be changed. Sometimes, fate can't be reversed."

The Great Prophet sighed. He had actually taken the initiative to point out the dao technique's weakness.

These words were very profound. Gu Chen thought about it carefully and then asked, "If Minor Interference Technique has a limit, what about Great Prophecy Technique?"

The Great Prophet was silent for a while. His voice floated over the surface of the lake.

"Great Prophecy Technique can be like Minor Spirit Speech at its peak. Every word is a law, and every word is a prophecy. When the outcome of the prophecy might be different, it can also interfere absolutely, making the prophecy happen."

"Is this the power of a dao technique?" Gu Chen understood and was extremely moved.

Prophecy would happen. This Great Prophecy Technique did not just mean what it meant. It could predict what would happen in the future. Instead, it could domineeringly influence the fate of the world, making the prophecy come true.

If the prophecy said that you would die, you would die. The entire world would cooperate. How could you resist?

Gu Chen had experienced the terror of the Great Destiny Technique. It was a completely irreversible rise and fall of fate. He had not expected the Great Prophecy Technique to be so powerful.

Eighty-one great dao techniques. Were all of them at this level?

Gu Chen's mind wandered. It took him a while to recover. He looked in the direction of Sacred Island and said, "Why are you telling me the secrets of this Minor Interference Technique in such detail? Aren't you afraid that I'll find your weakness and defeat you?"

"If you don't understand the secrets of this dao technique, you will always be on guard against the Old Man. If the two of us can't trust each other, there will be no way for us to sit down and talk," the Great Prophet replied.

Gu Chen fell silent. Indeed, this dao technique was too strange. If he did not understand its secrets, no matter what the Great Prophet said to him, he would suspect that it was a trap and not easily believe it.

But what was there to talk about with him?

"If you really want to talk to me, why did you attack me before?" Gu Chen continued to probe.

Until now, he still could not understand the Great Prophet's intentions. He should have sensed that something was wrong with him during the entrance examination, but he had not made a move for so many days. It was rather strange.

Moreover, he had not figured out why Dong Xianzhi had suddenly attacked him. He felt that Luo Sect was hiding many secrets.

"To be honest, the reason why I attacked you was because I wanted to understand your secrets. Now that I know who you are, of course we can sit down and have a good talk."

"Hmph, who knows if you're telling the truth? Maybe you really wanted to kill me before, but realized that you couldn't, so you're looking for an excuse now."

"You're a smart man. You can tell if the Old Man is telling the truth or not. Why are you purposely nitpicking? If you have any questions, just ask. The Old Man will answer them truthfully. "

The Great Prophet seemed to see through Gu Chen's thoughts. His words left him speechless.

Gu Chen was no fool. Of course, he could see that the Great Prophet was mostly speaking the truth.

If the Great Prophet really wanted to kill him, he would have had so many days to prepare. He could definitely have designed a far more perfect ambush than today.

What was going on today?

Dong Xianzhi's plot against him had failed, and he had almost lost his life. The Great Prophet's Ninth Peak was in chaos after the incident, and he did not seem to have received any news in advance.

After the incident, the fog created by the Great Prophet was actually beneficial to him. It could conceal his identity, and it could not be denied that the Great Prophet had not done it on purpose.

As for the Great Prophet's deliberate explanation of the mysteries of Taoist techniques when he attacked, and the fact that no reinforcements had arrived after such a long time, all of these proved that the Great Prophet had no intention to kill him.

Gu Chen knew this, but he still wanted to test him. The Great Prophet had seen through everything and said everything he knew, which made him seem narrow-minded.

"Since you've said it, then fine."

Gu Chen sat cross-legged on the surface of the water, and the golden light around his body retracted.

With the Minor Intervention Spell, he could not easily deal with the Great Prophet, and it was not his wish to fight to the death. He could only listen to the Great Prophet and talk first.
