Chapter 1538

The previous Fortune Teller had a curious look on his face.

His disciple had stepped into the Fortune Hall that he was unwilling to enter. Obviously, there was a result to be found.

The Fortune Teller took out some dazzling golden granules that looked like little golden beans. This was Zi Chen's blood. In the Nether Realm, Zi Chen had been injured for a long time. It wasn't difficult to obtain these things.

"Golden blood. He's a high-level lifeform." The old man took the golden blood and examined it carefully.

"He's a human." The Fortune Teller said.

The old man's eyes flashed with a strange light. He chuckled and said, "That's interesting. I want to see what kind of human can actually stump my disciple."

A little golden bean shattered in his hand. The energy contained in the blood spread out. It was Zi Chen's energy.

Mysterious energy surged out of the old man's body. His eyes also flickered with brilliance.

The Fortune Teller waited quietly.

Soon, the energy contained in the golden bean dissipated. The old man didn't calculate anything. Two more golden beans exploded in his hand.

The Fortune Teller wasn't surprised. Although his master was stronger than him, Zi Chen was special. It was normal for him to fail the first time.

As the two golden beans exploded, the old man's body was completely enveloped by mysterious energy. His expression became more and more serious.

After two, three more. The Fortune Teller's expression changed when he saw his master's expression.

One had to know that his master was the previous Fortune Teller. His Dao of Divination was almost complete. He could deduce everything in the world. However, it was extremely difficult for him to deduce Zi Chen.

"Hah!"

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out in the spacious hall.

After the shout, three more golden beans exploded. The Fortune Teller's expression changed greatly.

A Book of Destiny appeared in the sky above the hall. The Book of Destiny emitted a dazzling light. It slowly flipped to a page. Endless brilliance circulated, but no light fell.

The same situation happened during the Fortune Teller's divination. At this moment, his master encountered the same problem.

Then, the Book of Destiny flipped to another page. The same thing happened.

The third page was flipped, the fourth page was flipped, and then the fifth page, the sixth page. When the eighth page was flipped, a ray of brilliance fell from the Book of Destiny.

"Eight pages, he actually flipped through eight pages!"

The Heaven's Will Fortune Teller was stupefied. His face was full of disbelief. One had to know that the Book of Heaven's Will only had nine pages in total, and they represented the extremities of the heavens.

Under normal circumstances, even those with the Mandate of Heaven would only need four or five pages to complete the calculations.

In the entire Zhanwu Continent, Destiny City's divination dao was the best of the best. The only other dao that could match it was the dao of illusions.

The light from the Book of Heaven's Will fell on the three golden beans. The old man's voice sounded again, "Heaven's Will, open."

With that, the energy of the three golden beans dissipated. The ray of light on the Book of Destiny disappeared, and so did the Book of Destiny.

The old man's ruddy complexion turned somewhat pale, as if he had consumed a lot of energy, or as if he had suffered a backlash.

"Master, how is it?" The Fortune Teller asked urgently.

The old man shook his head with a rare solemn expression. "This child deceived the heavens and defied the heavens to change his fate. He was already destined to be a dead man and no longer has the Mandate of Heaven. Naturally, there's no fate to be divined. However, he still exists in this world. His fate is concealed by a mysterious aura. It's not easy to divine, nor can it be divined."

"Ah?" The Fortune Teller was shocked. "Then can you tell whether he's dead or alive?"

"Since he defied the heavens and changed his fate, of course he's alive. It's difficult for someone like him to die even if he wants to. Strange, very strange," the old man muttered to himself, shaking his head.

The Fortune Teller bid farewell and left. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if a great weight had been lifted from his heart.

It was fine as long as Zi Chen was alive. As for the matter of deceiving the heavens and changing his fate, he couldn't be bothered with it.

… …

The siege of Huping City by the four factions was destined to be all bark and no bite.

The one hundred and eight cities of Shuntian Prefecture were all under Shuntian Prefecture's administration. If they wanted to start a city war, they needed the prefecture's approval.

A city war was a matter of great importance. Millions of lives were at stake. How could a city war order be obtained just because they wanted to?

In Huping City, the higher-ups were a little nervous, but they weren't worried. This was because Wu Xie had previously explained the countermeasures.

On the tenth day of the siege, someone from Tiger God Mountain arrived.

The person who arrived was a middle-aged man. His entire body emitted a mountain-like aura. Wherever he passed, all the Domain Realm cultivators retreated.

He passed through the group and arrived at where the leaders of the four factions were and said coldly, "If you want to regain your face, wait until the Shuntian Prefecture Tournament begins. A few hundred people were killed by a dozen people. I really don't know what kind of face you have to come here to find trouble."

The leaders' expressions immediately turned ugly. The middle-aged man said again, "If you're not convinced, you can turn around and go to Tiger God Mountain now. We'll accompany you in this battle."

The leaders' expressions changed greatly.

Tiger God Mountain had quite a reputation in Shuntian Prefecture. Those who lived there were all high-level life forms. High-level life forms that were rarely seen usually lived in groups at Tiger God Mountain. How could the four factions have the guts to declare war on Tiger God Mountain?

With Tiger God Mountain exerting pressure and the city war order not being issued for a long time, the four factions had no choice but to retreat.

They had no choice but to return helplessly. They were all holding their breaths and waiting for the tournament to begin.

The entire Shuntian Prefecture quieted down.

All the factions were waiting for the tournament to begin. Many of them even set their sights on the new faction, Huping City.

This time around, Hu Ping City was extremely lucky and its ranking had risen by a few dozen places. However, Hu Ping City as a whole lacked the foundation that it should have. Currently, there were quite a number of Domain Stage practitioners in the city. However, how many true high level Domain Stage practitioners were there?

According to the rules of the tournament, all Domain Realm cultivators below the Seventh Heaven were qualified to participate.

In the entire Huping City, apart from the City Lord and Lord Wu of Hunter's Castle, who else had reached the Seventh Heaven?

Man Shi and the others had some tricks up their sleeves and were very powerful in the Domain Realm. However, in the Domain Realm, they only competed with their individual potential. In the outside world, they competed with their foundation.

Whether it was foundation or potential, the entire Shuntian Prefecture fell into silence.

…

There was an extremely special area in Shuntian Prefecture.

Not only were there Earth Realm cultivators here, but there were even Human Realm cultivators. This was a chaotic area that was ungoverned. There were people from all walks of life here.

In the periphery of this area, there was a small tavern. The owner of the tavern was an old man with a missing front tooth. The old man had a mute granddaughter whom he picked up from somewhere and was selling cheap and disgusting wine.

A few days ago, when the old man brought his mute granddaughter out, he brought back an unconscious waiter.

After the waiter woke up, the old man realized that not only was this person ugly, but he was also deaf and mute. He was also a cripple. None of this was important. The most important thing was that he was a fool.

If it were anyone else, they would have thrown this ugly fool out long ago. However, the old man with missing front teeth only smiled and asked his mute granddaughter to teach the ugly fool some things that she could do.

A few days later, the ugly cripple learned an extremely useful skill, and that was … Wiping the table.

There were only a few tables in the small tavern. The ugly fool cleaned them until they were bright and reflective.

The old man with missing front teeth was very satisfied with this waiter who had learned how to clean tables in seven days. When there were no customers, he would sit on the threshold and watch the ugly fool clean the tables. The latter cleaned very hard. Occasionally, he would raise his head and look at the old man. The old man would also grin. The man with missing front teeth also looked quite silly.

As for the mute girl, she leaned on the old man's shoulder.

The people outside watched the show. They all said that the old man with missing front teeth knew that he didn't have much time left, so he found a son-in-law for his mute girl. In the future, the two of them would take care of the tavern and rely on each other. However, the ugly fool was really too ugly.

His two eyes were asymmetrical and his mouth was crooked. One of his eyebrows was high and the other was low. His small eyes were turbid and lifeless. He was as ugly as he could be.

However, the mute girl of the old man with missing front teeth didn't seem to mind the ugly fool at all. When they had nothing to do, the two of them would stick together. The mute girl would teach the ugly fool some useful skills. When the ugly fool was happy, he would grin. Because they were both mutes, he couldn't grin.

The tavern, which was already a little unconventional, became even more unconventional because of the appearance of the ugly fool.

The news that the old man with missing front teeth brought along an ugly fool also spread in the area.

In an instant, the old man with missing front teeth became a laughing stock.

"I say, the one with missing front teeth. Although your granddaughter is mute, she's quite pretty. Do you really have the heart to see your granddaughter being ruined by an ugly cripple in the future?" The old man with missing front teeth was returning from purchasing distillers grains when he passed by a shop. He was talking to a burly woman.

The old man with missing front teeth grinned foolishly.

He rarely spoke, so naturally, he rarely got angry.

"Look at my child. Although I don't dare to say that he's a dragon or phoenix among men, he's still very handsome. He's a perfect match for your granddaughter."

The woman pushed out Butterball, who was about the same size as her and had a runny nose. Butterball smiled at the old man. Saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth, making him look even more foolish.

Smiling foolishly again, the old man with missing front teeth walked back to his tavern.

Wherever he passed, some kind-hearted neighbors would appear. They would kindly persuade the old man not to ruin his granddaughter's life.

The old man with missing front teeth only smiled and didn't answer. He allowed others to point at him.

The layman enjoyed the show, while the expert appreciated the skill. The old man with missing front teeth clearly remembered where he brought the ugly fool out from.

It was in the ground where a mountain peak had instantly turned into a deep pit. The ugly fool was lying there motionless.

The two of them had followed the sound and were extremely shocked when they saw the scene.

When they looked at the ugly fool again, they didn't see any injuries on his body. It was obvious that he wasn't an ordinary person.

The old man with missing front teeth guessed that the ugly fool might be the reincarnation of the Great Strength Vajra. Bringing him back would be good karma.

Just as he reached the entrance of the tavern, he heard a series of loud bangs. Amidst the cries of pain, one figure after another flew out of the tavern.
