In the Mystic Sect, it is said that arrays are the creation of heaven and earth, arithmetic is the foundation of Daoist skills. Often hearing the elders say, if one masters mathematics, one can travel the world without fear.

Although Huangfu Yi had just entered the entry-level of arithmetic, he quickly appreciated its various wonders. With a flick of his finger, a push of the abacus, he could foresee fortune and misfortune, calamity and blessing, as if he had opened up a heavenly eye, gaining a foresight. Henceforth, he could dodge disasters when needed, hunt demons at will, pursue benefits, avoid harm, turn danger into safety, and, in an exaggerated manner, find the direction of his life.

Thus, following the direction from the divination, Huangfu Yi smoothly avoided many dangers along the way. When he reached the dock by the Gen River, he happened to catch a grain ship of the Heavenly King Army crossing the river, finally arriving in the Sizhou directly governed area.

Needless to say more, at this time the Central Plains could no longer be called fertile, it was simply a human purgatory, a ghostly demon cave. Looking around, demon qi filled the sky, a flick of the finger calculated only disaster everywhere, with no peaceful Great Dao to tread.

Of course, Huangfu Yi had long been mentally prepared, his heart unmoved, his will unshaken, following the shattered, dilapidated Sizhou Chidao towards Luo.

The Shura-like scenery along the way need not be elaborated further. Since the rebellion began sixty years ago, the rebel army only cared to plunder the people and the official army was powerless in field battles, opting for scorched-earth tactics. In such a back-and-forth clash of great armies, where invaders go like combs and troops like hairpins, countless lives have been lost, skeletons cover the fields, humanity on the brink of extinction.

However, wildlife was doing quite well, finding living space naturally...

After all, the Central Plains is inherently fertile and productive land, the place where the Earth Vein Spiritual Energy of the Twelve Countries converges. The horse grass grows particularly fast, and without humans harvesting and cultivating it, just in a short sixty-year cycle, the once prosperous city towns and residences have become overgrown wilderness forests.

And over these years, as the Heavenly King Army broke through the north and the Vassal Guard Pass collapsed, various demons seized the opportunity to move southward, and even the heterodox sects suppressed for years by the Mystic Sect Immortal Palace seized the chance to rise. At a glance, there are burial mounds everywhere, filled with demon winds, skeleton ghosts, and from time to time demon light, eerie demonic qi shoot up to the sky, clearly heterodox demons transforming divinity into demon.

Yes, Divinity Transformation, there are many divinity transformations in the Central Plains...

Even with Huangfu Yi's limited arithmetic skills, a flick of his finger could deduce that there were demon kings and demon lords entrenched on both sides to the east and west. Oh, if we count the garbage dragon previously devoured, there are three big monsters in this area. Certainly, if the monster acquires the Dao it's fine, since it could end up being punched to death or stabbed by sword, but if it's heterodox divinity transformation then that's another matter.

According to the teachings from the upgraded system these days, the cultivation method of Taiji Heaven originally wasn't limited to the Three Great Sects' heritage. The concept of Refining Qi and Transforming God has long been talked about by ancient Qi Refiners collectively, gradually evolving into terms for judging cultivation realms.

However, the standards set by the Mystic Sect later were too strict, the scope too broad, and their skills top-notch, every Sect Leader and Daoist Master was Heaven's Chosen Son pursuing enlightenment, each person stuck at three checkpoints, crossing the tribulation, waiting for Heavenly Thunder to refine and sculpt body, unwilling to transform divinity unless absolutely necessary. But even so, there are very few who could achieve enlightenment, resulting in many old immortals aged several thousand years piled up in mountain valleys, greatly raising the bar for divinity transformation.

Actually, divinity transformation wasn't so difficult initially, the heterodox divinity transformation was even simpler, as those mixed cultivators outside the Three Great Sects essentially stem from the ancient Qi Refiners' heritage, with countless Magical Gates for manifesting Thirty-three Heavenly Demon Gods.

Hence, they don't need to refine Nine Qi, comprehend Heavenly Heart or evolve Great Dao, just taking a shortcut straight to the Method of Heaven and Earth, transforming the body into a Demon God, focusing on 'Refining Qi' and 'Divinity Transformation', ignoring everything else. Like adding water when there's too much flour and vice versa, never contemplating other ways to boil water or synthesizing flour from air, could they not be fast?

Just that these heterodox paths were previously suppressed by the Three Great Sects' heritage, having to hide and barely survive. If they were mere trash and garbage, maybe the Three Great Sects wouldn't care, but once divinity is transformed, it becomes hard to conceal.

By then, your minor batch of flour can't be matched in battle, nor could you escape, sooner or later you're caught by the Mystic Sect to be used in alchemy and artifact making, all cultivation becoming someone else's dowry, what's the point in transforming divinity? Better not to transform.

But times have changed now, and prospects seem brighter. The Immortal Palace has long collapsed Jiangshan and Shiji by self-destruction, the Mystic Sect closes their doors avoiding worldly conflicts, the Divine Sect is far away in Outer Heaven busy with unknown matters, coupled with demons invading, life ravaged, the guardians of the Dao can no longer manage everything, isn't it time to transform divinity quickly? Transform divinity and hurry to ascend to Outer Heaven! Taiji Heaven is indeed a wretched map unfit for living!

Transform divinity! Transform divinity! Transform divinity!

"Boom!"

"Woo—!"

Between calculations, a new streak of demon light shot into the sky accompanied by earth-shattering beast roars like horns. A Great Demon near the southern hills had leveled up.

Huangfu Yi wasn't surprised, rather expecting these Demon Gods and Demon Kings to be top predators in nature, surely dividing territories, claiming mountains as kings, ensuring their resource hunting grounds.

Since this southern Demon God just achieved a breakthrough, conveniently blocking the Chidao, might as well attack it first. Judging by the sound, it seems to be a big monster, perfect for a full meal to replenish some Qi Blood.

Thus Huangfu Yi rushed straight towards the demon light, having been inexplicably troubled too many times, finally it's his turn for a preemptive strike, using all his equipment immediately.
