Chapter 533: Chapter 56: Found

"I’ve heard that the divination Dao of the Divine Calculation Sect consumes one’s personal fate. Furthermore, they can’t use the opportunities they divine for themselves, or else they’ll suffer heavenly retribution."

"As the saying goes, ’divine for others, not for oneself.’ Their ability to seek fortune and avoid disaster is powerful, but with such heavy restrictions, it’s nothing too special."

"So that’s how it is!"

"In that case, that person can’t gain any benefits from the opportunities here either? I can understand now why that guy took so many of our resources earlier."

One of them spoke with a look of sudden understanding, his gaze turning to the figure in sunglasses setting up a formation in the center of the field. A hint of pity entered his eyes.

Anyone could imagine,

that there must be immense benefits within the Xiangshan Sect Gate Ruins this time.

But as the one who located it, that disciple from the Divine Calculation Sect couldn’t get even a taste.

No wonder he didn’t secretly divine the location and go in to take everything for himself. Instead, he accepted their commission to survey the site. So there were restrictions like this!

He had originally felt pained and dissatisfied about paying so many resources for the man’s services,

but now, all of that vanished into thin air.

Compared to the resources within the Xiangshan Sect Gate Ruins,

the price they had paid was simply not worth mentioning.

"However, you don’t need to pity them. This divination is actually related to the Divine Calculation Sect’s special Cultivation, and it’s essential for their progress in Cultivation."

"In my opinion, the rumors that initially spread about the Xiangshan Sect Ruins being on the verge of appearing were most likely the work of the Divine Calculation Sect."

"Only they could divine something so secret."

"I just don’t know what these mystical and secretive guys are plotting this time."

As he spoke,

the man looked at the figure of the Divine Calculation Sect disciple, a trace of fear flickering in his eyes.

Although the Divine Calculation Sect only passes down its teachings to a single successor each generation and isn’t a major power in the Immortal Cultivation Realm,

no force with any significant size or heritage dared to provoke them.

These guys may have many restrictions,

but by the same token,

their methods for scheming against others were just as numerous.

Sometimes, the slightest carelessness could lead to falling into one of their traps.

"Fellow Daoist, you are truly knowledgeable! Might I ask where you hail from?"

"You flatter me. I am Chen Lingfeng, a disciple of the East Sea Wanderer Sect."

Chen Lingfeng cupped his fists toward the few people beside Bai Yusheng and spoke calmly.

"So it’s Brother Chen! I’ve long admired your name!"

Hearing this name,

Bai Yusheng’s expression grew solemn, and he cupped his fists in a salute.

Bai Yusheng had, of course, heard of Chen Lingfeng.

This man was one of the most outstanding disciples of the East Sea Wanderer Sect. Twenty years ago, he had reportedly reached the Soul Emergence Ninth Layer Late Stage. He later became famous throughout the world for slaying a Soul Emergence Ninth Layer Peak Demon Cultivator during his travels in the North Sea.

He was one of the dashing figures who stood at the Peak of the Soul Emergence Realm.

However,

he was already over a hundred years old,

belonging to the previous generation of geniuses.

He was not of their generation.

That was why

the most outstanding of the East Sea Wanderer Sect’s younger generation was Xuan Guangdao, not Chen Lingfeng.

At the thought of Xuan Guangdao,

a subtle expression appeared on Bai Yusheng’s face.

Not long ago,

that Xuan Guangdao had charged right into Dawan Village, only to be thrashed by Shen Changchuan. He suffered heavy injuries and lost a great deal of face.

Now, Chen Lingfeng, who had been in seclusion ever since slaying that Soul Emergence Ninth Layer Peak Demon Cultivator and hadn’t been seen in the outside world since, had emerged and appeared here.

’Could he be here to avenge his junior brother?’

The thought couldn’t help but flash through Bai Yusheng’s mind.

Chen Lingfeng glanced at Bai Yusheng,

as if he had seen through the many thoughts in his heart.

"I didn’t come here just to avenge my junior brother."

"The Xiangshan Sect from three hundred years ago was a Top Level force with a Profound Pill Realm expert presiding over it. Who wouldn’t be tempted by its sect ruins?"

Chen Lingfeng said calmly,

but when he spoke of the Xiangshan Sect Gate Ruins, a glimmer of anticipation flashed in the depths of his eyes.

The mountain gate left behind by a power that had a supreme expert at the Profound Pill Realm Level...

One didn’t need to think to know what an enormous opportunity that represented.

Even he, Chen Lingfeng, couldn’t help but be moved by it.

This was the main reason he had come.

"However, your guess isn’t entirely wrong."

"My presence here does indeed have something to do with my junior brother."

"No matter what, Xuan Guangdao is still my junior brother and our master’s beloved disciple."

"He went to challenge that little brat named Shen Changchuan and lost. That’s on him for his skills being lacking."

"But as his senior brother, I have a responsibility to stand up for him."

At this point,

Chen Lingfeng stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the distance.

When he spoke of Shen Changchuan, a look of contempt appeared on his face.

"After this matter is settled, I’ll go and see for myself what that brat Shen Changchuan is made of!"

"I’ve heard that this Shen Changchuan is the number one of the younger generation in the Tian Nan Domain. As a senior, it wouldn’t be right for me to bully someone younger, so I’ll give him a thirty to fifty-move handicap. Then I’ll show him that there’s always someone stronger!"

"I just hope that brat can withstand at least one of my moves and doesn’t disappoint me too much."

On Chen Lingfeng’s face

was a faint look of pride.

"That Shen Changchuan only got where he is today through sheer luck. Of course, he isn’t qualified to be compared to an expert like Fellow Daoist Chen, who has been tempered in the mortal world."

"I, Bai, will congratulate Fellow Daoist Chen on his swift success in advance!"

Bai Yusheng said with a fawning smile.

This Chen Lingfeng before him had killed a Soul Emergence Ninth Layer Peak Demon Cultivator twenty years ago.

With such a battle record, Bai Yusheng naturally didn’t think he would stumble against Shen Changchuan.

’This is good, too. The Immortal Sect Grand Competition is in seven years, and Shen Changchuan will most likely be one of the participants.’

’If Chen Lingfeng can crush that kid this time, injure him severely, or even better, shatter his Dao Heart, that would be perfect!’

In Bai Yusheng’s mind,

a flash of understanding appeared.

Although he wasn’t afraid of Shen Changchuan with his current strength, the boy might become a formidable rival in seven years, given his past rate of growth. If Chen Lingfeng could make a move and break that kid’s unstoppable momentum, it would undoubtedly mean one less major enemy in the future Immortal Sect Grand Competition.

Thus, Bai Yusheng was filled with joy at this moment.

"When Fellow Daoist Chen is ready to set out, please let us know. We’d love to join in on the excitement."

"Besides, it would be good to have witnesses, just in case Shen Changchuan can’t handle the loss and goes crying to his master."

"After all, that person has only been on the Path of Immortal Cultivation for about twenty years. From the perspective of us in the Soul Emergence Realm, with our lifespans, isn’t he just a child!"

Bai Yusheng joked wittily with a smile on his face.

"HAHAHA!"

For a moment,

laughter echoed all around.
