I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life - Chapter 409 - 258: Nine Cicadas Become One
Surrounded by a crowd, people were everywhere, and the Six-winged Golden Cicada had no place to escape in its panic. It could only nervously burrow into the debris of the newly unveiled treasure of the shop, its pair of black eyes darting back and forth.
Seeing the Six-winged Golden Cicada in such a state, Li Jizhou suspected even more that this Golden Cicada was surely related to the Qilin Immortality Pill.
“Six-winged Golden Cicada!!” Suddenly, someone in the crowd exclaimed.
Li Jizhou glanced indifferently.
To his surprise, he saw the person’s face full of terror, the expression in their eyes clearly not feigned: “It really is the Six-winged Golden Cicada! Great calamity, great calamity indeed!”
This made Li Jizhou feel a burst of confusion. The individual was at least a cultivator above the Nascent Soul level, yet the Six-winged Golden Cicada was merely a Quasi-Fifth Tier insect; why were they so unsettled?
Before he could inquire, the person began to mutter: “Golden Cicada appears, chaos ensues, nine cicadas unite, divine and demonic alike!”
“Hmm?” Many people looked towards that cultivator.
“Friend Turing, what do you mean by your words?”
“Turing True Monarch, just a Tier Four insect, how could this be?”
Many who knew this cultivator asked in surprise.
“I… everyone, I dare not hide from His Highness the Seventh Prince, my ancestors obtained a scroll from the Ancestral Spiritual Sea a myriad years ago,
upon which there are no mysterious secret skills, only five sentences, verified by generations of forefathers, but the heavenly secret left by a high-tier Divination Master proficient in divination from the Ancestral Spiritual Sea.
The last sentence is: Golden Cicada appears, chaos ensues, nine cicadas unite, divine and demonic alike!” The cultivator explained to Li Jizhou in a sincere panic after looking around.
“A divine scroll from the Ancestral Spiritual Sea a myriad years ago?” Most people frowned. Divination Masters peering into heavenly secrets risk backlash with the slightest carelessness, and the higher the rank, the more easily they might touch upon some taboos, leading to minor harm to their cultivation or severe obliteration, so many cultivators do not delve too deeply into divination.
To divine matters of a myriad years later, that Divination Master’s rank must exceed the understanding of those present.
Perhaps it requires a Celestial Venerable Level Tier Eight Divination Master to divine matters of a myriad years later?
Therefore, many did not quite believe it.
“What are the other four heavenly secrets?” Li Jizhou did not refute the person’s words, after all, their panic surely meant that they were very certain of those five prophecies.
And this, cannot be without reason.
It must be because the prophecy has been verified.
“Your Highness the Seventh Prince, the first is… Python and Sparrow swallow the dragon, Cangming chases the moon!” The cultivator said confidently.
Li Jizhou slightly raised his eyebrows, but did not comment.
“The second is Flood serpent stirs waves, Black Water floods Jiuli.”
This refers to the matters of the Jiuli Dynasty and the Black Water Swamp.
Li Jizhou still did not make a statement.
These two events are known worldwide and it is unclear if this is hindsight or truly foreseen before occurrence.
However, at this moment, Li Jizhou’s heart was already faintly accepting it.
After all, regarding the matters of the Jiuli Dynasty and the Black Water Swamp, be it official records or widely spread tales, most claimed the Jiuli Emperor initiated a war against the Black Water Swamp for expansion heroically and spiritedly.
Yet Li Jizhou, upon awakening his Innate Wisdom, specifically checked historical records, using the Memory Ball dedicated to recording major events in the palace, to detect clues. The historical account revealed someone had fed Li Yuan Enchanting Soup, conveniently aligning with his stubborn personality, leading to the eventual entangled grievances between the Jiuli Dynasty and the two major sects of Ten Thousand Poison Swamp.
“The third is… Divine descent in Eastern Desolation, Demon Flame spreads far.”
Kurthunk~
Hearing the third one, Li Jizhou’s eyes became serious instantly.
The matter of the Demon Sect in Eastern Desolation in the past life always puzzled him.
Though in the end, the Shangguan family’s elder drank three glasses of punitive wine, attributing the nurturing of Demon Sect to Shangguan Liuyun who wished to temper himself deliberately, Li Jizhou could not agree with this.
“Divine descent… Then Demon Flame arises?”
“Divine? Could it be… Shangguan Liuyun is indeed a real Divine Body?” Li Jizhou’s expression became even more solemn.
The juniors of the top influences in Central Domain and beyond in Eastern Desolation often said Shangguan Liuyun possessed a Celestial Spirit Body.
But as far as Li Jizhou knew, it was common to refer to anything above Innate Spiritual Body as Divine Body since such physiques were exceptionally rare, especially in Eastern Desolation whose cultivation environment was inferior to Central State, making them incredibly formidable in the eyes of Eastern Desolation’s cultivators.
In reality, above Innate Spiritual Body there exists ranked physiques, such as Monster Demon Body, Heaven and Earth Great Dao Body, Bloodline Sacred Body, Dominant Body, Yin-Yang Body, etc., differing in attributes but comparable in potential and power.
However, the true Divine Body, the genuine physique of the Divine Race, holds indisputable supremacy.
Because other physiques regardless, are within the rules of Heaven and Earth, whereas the Divine Body has already become its own rule.
Moreover, what most shocked Li Jizhou was, during his travels not long ago, he heard news about the emergence of Divine Body in the Shangguan family once again.
Although it was startling and led to suspicion whether the Shangguan family possessed some secret technique for cultivating bloodlines.
He believed the so-called emergence of the Divine Body referred to physiques transcending the scope of Innate Spiritual Body.
Never would he think of the genuine Divine Body.
As every recorded genuine Divine Body in history ultimately achieved ascension.
“If Shangguan Liuyun truly is the real Divine Body, it would indeed be the most tragic Divine Body in history, wouldn’t he?” Li Jizhou thought.
In the past life, had it not been for his hidden Quasi-Immortal Artifact capable of a one-hit kill, with Shangguan Qingming, the elder of Shangguan family, present, no other means could possibly have defeated this Divine Body.
“The Shangguan family… are complicated indeed!” Li Jizhou shook his head. Currently, he was avoiding Eastern Desolation, it was not the time to concern himself with those matters, for now, focus on inheriting the resources of the Jiuli Dynasty.
“What about the fourth one?” Others, unaware of the true reasons for the conflict between the Jiuli Dynasty and Ten Thousand Poison Swamp or the Shangguan family’s affairs in Eastern Desolation, could not conclude based on this person’s words, but Li Jizhou now had seven levels of belief.
“The fourth…” Turing True Monarch hesitated upon hearing the question, his eyes flashed with conflict, then subtly glanced at Li Jizhou.
“The fourth is… it is…”
“Hmph, stop pretending, speaking nonsense, a Divination Master from a myriad years ago? Sir, I think this person has malicious intent, shall I interrogate him thoroughly?” Suddenly, Hong Luan snorted coldly, her Primordial Spirit surged instantly, firmly restraining Turing True Monarch.
Li Jizhou nodded slightly, instructing Li Qingyun: “Find a secret chamber!”
“Certainly, certainly, Ancestor, please.” Li Qingyun quickly led the way.
Those in the courtyard were stunned momentarily, although they didn’t quite believe Turing True Monarch’s words, they were intrigued to see what he was up to.
The unfolding was cruelly interrupted.
However, subsequently, everyone’s attention shifted back to the Six-winged Golden Cicada.
Seeing it trembling, they couldn’t associate it with Turing True Monarch’s statements.
Yet before they could look further, Li Jizhou suddenly waved his hand, the Six-winged Golden Cicada inexplicably vanished, even the Divinity Transformation Powerhouses present couldn’t discern what method Li Jizhou employed.
Li Jizhou naturally didn’t care about their thoughts and followed his descendant Li Qingyun inside.
“Sir, do you believe what this guy said?” On the way, Hong Luan couldn’t help but transmit her voice.
Li Jizhou nodded.
Seeing Turing True Monarch hesitate and then subtly watch him earlier, worried Turing might reveal unfavorable information about him, hence Hong Luan intervened.
Upon reaching the secret chamber, Li Jizhou sent Li Qingyun away and instructed Hong Luan to activate a Tier Four Restriction Talisman.
Turing True Monarch was about to speak but suddenly experienced another turn of events, upon reopening his eyes, he found himself in an unfamiliar space filled with Blood Fiend.
“What is the fourth prophecy?” Li Jizhou’s voice resounded like a deity’s throughout the space.
