Chapter 3021: Chapter 1567: Great Divination Skill Foresees the First Move, Xin Strolls into the Ancestral God’s Scheme

“An ominous premonition…”

At the entrance to Ran Ming ruins, Hallmaster Dao stood with drooping sleeves, momentarily feeling the oppressiveness of the space and the irritability of emotions.

Demi-saints seldom show such signs, let alone on Hallmaster Dao himself.

“Where, exactly, is the danger?”

Hallmaster Dao looked around, scanning the area.

The oppressive environment made him feel as though he was being restricted by some unknown force, yet he was unable to detect its origin.

That was not impossible.

He, Hallmaster Dao, was not omnipotent.

As long as that force did not target him deliberately and indirectly affected the surroundings and then ultimately impacted him,

even several Heavenly Mechanism Brains would fail to detect this “Guidance” because it was not deliberately targeting him.

Fate is the best example of this-

Everyone knows they are amid fate, yet no one can change it.

“Let’s not talk about the eeriness; since all three divinations entering Ran Ming ruins were auspicious, the danger must only be outside…”

But Hallmaster Dao looked again and felt that the Four Symbols Secret Realm didn’t seem dangerous.

Breaking free from this, his saint’s will swept downwards, transforming the entrance to Ran Ming ruins into a huge beast head hidden under a cliff next to a stream.

And he stood in the beast’s mouth, waiting for it to either spit him out or swallow him.

The initiative was in someone else’s hands… this, perhaps, was the danger!

“We can’t wait any longer!”

The increasingly oppressive whim made Hallmaster Dao realize that staying motionless, choosing the Middle Path, might sometimes be the best option, but it was certainly not the best choice at the moment.

Because what touched his existence within Ran Ming ruins could likely be Xu Xiaoshou, who was the biggest “variable.”

And fighting Xu Xiaoshou defensively was his forte, only by taking the initiative could the situation possibly be turned around.

But to enter Ran Ming ruins and interfere with the variable would fall right into the eerie aspect that caused the three auspices, leaving him in hesitation:

Either, all is well both inside and out, so any choice is fine.

Or, it’s auspicious inside and dangerous outside, or vice versa; one must find out where the constants of fortune and misfortune lie, then decide whether to continue waiting or enter the ruins.

Or, it’s dangerous both inside and out, so one must choose the lesser of two evils.

Disregard the first option, the remaining two require one to calculate the Way of the Heavens’ energy movement.

But the Way of the Heavens’ energy movement…

“Regarding the trickery of the god slayer and Ancestral God, if I perform divination, it will only be disrupted; better not to divine at all since the result won’t be reliable.”

“But now, I must divine; how else can I ask for directions without casting a stone?”

For the first time in decades, Hallmaster Dao felt difficulty in making a choice, it was more uncomfortable than when he figured out earth fire Ming Yi on Abyss Island.

At least then, he knew to protect himself and seek advancement.

No time left to think!

Hallmaster Dao’s brain worked at high speed, and soon, like his saint’s will, his thoughts leaped out of the strange situation:

“That’s it, why agonize over ‘whether entering Ran Ming ruins is fortunate or unfortunate’? Regarding this question, the answer is definite.”

“Just change the direction of divination to ‘whether waiting here is good or bad’…”

This would avoid the eerie interference inside Ran Ming ruins in a roundabout way.

Such a simple method, how could he not have thought of it before?

Hallmaster Dao slapped his forehead and started to divinate by moving his fingers, but soon his motion froze.

“I couldn’t have failed to think of that…”

This meant that the eeriness was targeting not only all divinations about Ran Ming ruins but also him personally.

Perhaps, from the moment Ran Ming ruins appeared, and he sought refuge at Stairway to Heaven, he had been targeted.

Under such circumstances, even if divining “whether waiting here is good or bad,” the answer would still be definite.

—That’s not the Way of the Heavens; it’s a fate set up by someone!

“Truly troublesome.”

Hallmaster Dao furrowed his brows, taking out the divine Sinan.

Finger divination technique is basic, since he was being interfered, the answers would also surely be false.

Using Turtle Shell and Sinan for divination might help a bit, but…

Looking at this homemade contraption in his hand, Hallmaster Dao fell into deep thought.

With the trickery of Ancestral God Level interfering, even if he used Turtle Shell and Sinan to help, would it be of any use?

—If it’s meant to be false, it’ll still be false!

Hallmaster Dao put down the Sinan, his gaze drifting from the entrance of Ran Ming ruins, seeing the misty Black Water Stream, and the barren cliffs above the stream, and further seeing the mountainous beauty and vitality of Four Symbols Secret Realm.

What he cared about wasn’t whether someone had touched the branding where he himself had landed, but whether, upon entering the Divine Relics, Ran Ming might appreciate him, bet on him or Possess him.

His enemy had only ever been the Ancestral God!

“And to counter the Ancestral God’s Guidance…”

Hallmaster Dao heaved a deep sigh, knowing that this divination would require using the Four Symbols Secret Realm as Turtle Shell and Sinan, and using the luck of Shengshen Continent, where Ancestral God was born, to counter, only then might he withstand the influence of Divine Relics at the Ancestral God Level.

But if that were the case…

“I’d be exposed.”

…

“Huu huu huu!”

A fierce wind suddenly rose from calm.

Mu Ling, overseeing the Four Symbols Secret Realm while waiting for the Holy Palace Trial to end, suddenly felt something amiss.

Where did this demonic wind come from?

Wasn’t Ran Ming ruins enough, and now someone else wanted to cause trouble in the Four Symbols Secret Realm?

He swished as he rose to his feet, leaping up to the high dome; his saint’s will, furious, swept out, just about to shout back the anomaly, when suddenly his voice and saint’s will both retracted sharply.

What in the world?

Did I just see someone?
