Wait a minute, where is my master?

Jin Xu looked at the two with suspicion.

Somehow, he felt that after returning to the Nine Provinces Realm, he might encounter some strange occurrences.

He subconsciously began to calculate, but his hand stopped the next second.

"One should not divine for oneself."

This had been an iron rule since ancient times. Even though he had reached the True World Immortal Realm, he dared not risk breaking this rule.

However, as the saying goes,

"If you can't break the rule, then circumvent it."

This minor difficulty was not enough to stump the Old Ancestor of the Kunlun Immortal Palace.

One should not divine for oneself.

But he had not said that he could not gauge the fate of the sect and the entire Nine Provinces Realm.

After all, something that could spontaneously arouse the heart of a cultivator in the True World Immortal Realm.

The disturbance was bound to be no small matter.

However, as Elder Chi silently recited the mantra and divined, after a while,

he was surprised to find that in the near future, aside from an unexpected windfall, there would be no disturbances in the Kunlun Immortal Palace.

And in the Nine Provinces Realm, except for a great calamity in the future, the present times appeared calm.

"Strange, what then is this mystical sensation nagging at me?"

Elder Chi thought to himself, glancing again at the Old Dean and the emaciated old man, who were continually exchanging glances.

He felt that ominous sensation grow even clearer.

He habitually stroked his beard, planning to divine again once he was back in the Nine Provinces Realm.

After all, all things in this world continuously change over time, and perhaps something currently undiscernable might change in a while.

"Senior Chi, were you divining just now?"

While Elder Chi was pondering, he suddenly heard the polite and somewhat interested voice of the young Taoist.

His puzzled look instantly brightened.

"I really am becoming senile. Since ancient times, medicine, Taoism, and divination have been inseparable,

"Since Jin Xu is here, why go through the trouble myself? I could just ask him to divine for me."

As he thought this, Elder Chi glanced at the Old Dean and the other person before transmitting a message to Jin Xu.

"Jin Taoist, forgive my laughter, but seeing their secretive smiles and feeling this spontaneous sensation, I thought to divine for myself.

"But as you know, from ancient times, 'one should not divine for oneself.'

"Ah, I remember that Xuanxu Temple has a unique perspective on divination; would it be possible for you, young Taoist, to divine for me?

"Just a general look at my fortunes will do."

After saying this, he secretly added in his mind,

"If the young Taoist finds something amiss with my fortunes, then once I'm back in the Nine Provinces Realm, I must find an excuse to give these two old fellows a good thrashing to avoid any potential troubles."

Meanwhile, upon hearing the transmitted message, Jin Xu's first reaction was,

"Has it been from ancient times that one should not divine for oneself?

"Then, did I divine for myself when I used the Spiritual Eyes fortune-telling method on a mirror?

"Sheesh~ nobody ever told me about that."

He pondered for a moment and curiously transmitted a message.

"Ah, Senior Chi, if one divines for oneself, will it lead to any serious consequences?"

Elder Chi never expected the young Taoist to focus on this point.

After composing himself, he explained with a smile.

"Jin Taoist, you jest. The consequences, well, they depend on what the divination master calculates.

"From what I know, historically, cultivators who are skilled in divining for themselves see either a vision of chaos if it's minor; if it's severe, they might suffer the backlash of the Heavenly Dao and might even be close to death."

After speaking, Elder Chi grew curious about why Jin Xu would ask this question.

"Could it be that Jin Taoist didn't learn the divination legacy from Xuanxu Temple?

"It's also possible, considering he has gained such formidable cultivation strength in such a short time—likely focusing all his energies on cultivation and learning magic, there wouldn't be time left to learn divination."

Elder Chi was busy finding excuses for the young Taoist.

Meanwhile, Jin Xu heard the other party's explanation and pondered for a moment, perhaps his Spiritual Eyes fortune-telling method was not a conventional Divination Skill.

He gently shook his head and transmitted his voice.

"Senior Chi, my master and I haven't been practicing for long, and we haven't come into contact with the divination inheritance of Xuanxu Temple."

"That was my presumptuousness..."

"However, by a fortunate coincidence, I learned a magic that allows me to glimpse into others' fortunes slightly. If Senior Chi doesn't mind, I can give it a try."

Elder Chi, hearing that Jin Xu hadn't learned the divination inheritance of Xuanxu Temple, was about to offer him a way out.

But before he could finish speaking, he heard the latter half of the young Taoist's sentence.

"Don't mind at all, don't mind at all; this old man thanks Jin Taoist first."

While Elder Chi transmitted his voice, he glanced sidelong at the Old Dean and another person.

In his mind, he was calculating something.

As Jin Xu received the reply, his thoughts stirred, and a faint silver light shone in his eyes as he looked toward the head of the Old Ancestor of Kunlun Immortal Palace.

"Let me see if Senior Chi's recent fortune is ominous or... hmm?

"What in the world is this!?"

The young Taoist activated the fortune-telling effect, intending to see the other's fortune.

But at that moment, above Elder Chi's head, there were neither the fortunate characters of celebration nor the ominous characters of misfortune.

In Jin Xu's sight, atop the head of this venerable elder of Kunlun Immortal Palace,

A huge "Embarrassment" character shockingly appeared!

The color of the character even looked scorched and yellowish.

"Hiss, what could Senior Chi be about to experience that made the Spiritual Eyes' fortune-telling effect produce a new character!"

Jin Xu frowned slightly, his eyes emitting a faint silver light, filled with perplexity.

Seeing the young Taoist's expression, Elder Chi was moved and couldn't help but ask via voice transmission.

"Jin Taoist, my fortune for the upcoming period, is it fraught with danger?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Xu frowned and slowly shook his head.

"Then... is it a sign of great fortune?"

Jin Xu still frowned, slowly shaking his head.

This confused Elder Chi even more.

"If it's neither ominous nor fortunate, then it must be neutral. Could it be that I might have a chance to relax a bit soon?"

Elder Chi muttered to himself internally and again shared his guess with the young Taoist.

But Jin Xu still frowned silently, merely shaking his head.

Now, even the experienced Old Ancestor of Kunlun Immortal Palace was utterly baffled.

"Jin Taoist, if it's neither fortunate, ominous, nor neutral, then what is my fortune..."

Doubts began to surface in Elder Chi's mind.

It couldn't be that my future fortune is unseen, could it?

"Ahem, Senior Chi, according to this magic, your upcoming fortune is an 'Embarrassment' character."

As Jin Xu spoke, he could feel his own lack of confidence.

It was one thing to not discern the signs of fortune or misfortune, but to come up with an "Embarrassment" character.

What an oddity!

After Elder Chi heard the young Taoist's words, he was momentarily stunned for three breaths, then asked for confirmation again.

Once he confirmed that his future fortune was indeed an "Embarrassment" character,

Elder Chi, although he couldn't comprehend what this character specifically implied,

had already made up his mind.

Once he left the Mountain and Sea Realm, he would settle the scores with the Old Dean and the other person first.

Coincidentally, at this moment, the Old Dean and the thin old man had finished their scheming and approached Jin Xu and Elder Chi.

"Young Taoist, Elder Chi, shall we set off back to the Nine Provinces Realm?"
