Chapter 276: Wu Yaoyao's Divination

After glancing at Di Xin, Wu Yaoyao said with a strange expression, "In my view, she is second only to you; how could I let her go? However, her future is somewhat special, even stranger than yours."

"The first scene I prophesied shows her being hunted down by several hundred Gu Kings."

"The second scene I prophesied shows her being hunted down by several thousand Gu Kings."

"The third scene I prophesied shows her being hunted down by several tens of thousands of Gu Kings."

"It nearly scared me to death; Gu Kings are such a rare group, could she have possibly gathered all the Gu Kings in the entire world together?"

"Just how hated is she, to actually attract the pursuit of Gu Kings from across the whole world?"

"Her survival would truly be a miracle; consider that when Demon Cultivators refine Forbidden Gu to massacre a City, only a few hundred Gu Kings from the surrounding areas participate in the suppression."

"Her situation is far more dangerous than those who refine Forbidden Gu. Of course, it is also possible that my divination is inaccurate, which is why I foresaw such an absurd scene."

Wu Yaoyao said, her voice slightly hesitant and her expression somewhat uncertain.

Hearing this, the corners of Long Xuan's mouth twitched involuntarily a few times.

Good heavens, Di Xin's future involves being hunted by tens of thousands of Gu Kings; what exactly did she do to incur such heavenly wrath and human resentment? Why do others hate her so much!

Her future remains as consistently death-seeking as ever.

Long Xuan was convinced, simply bowing down in total admiration for her.

However, at the same time, he also deduced one piece of information from this scene: this Di Xin, with her mortal body, actually becomes a Gu King in the future, which is truly heaven-defying!

Long Xuan looked at her with a moved expression, then patted Wu Yaoyao on the shoulder and sighed, "You need not lack confidence; your prophecy is very accurate, her future will definitely unfold this way, I have no doubt about it."

Long Xuan then looked at Di Xin and said, "Hey! When you are constantly being hunted in the future, absolutely do not mention me; I do not know you, and we are not close!"

Di Xin rolled her eyes greatly at him.

At this moment, Wu Yaoyao had already closed her eyes to perform divination for Leng Yan; the ship instantly fell silent, everyone watching quietly, and Long Xuan stopped speaking as well, afraid of disturbing her divination.

After an unknown amount of time passed, Wu Yaoyao slowly opened her eyes; seeing that her expression remained unchanged, Long Xuan knew she had not foreseen anything bad, and that the results should all be favorable lots.

"What is the result?" Leng Yan asked, her demeanor slightly tense.

"I performed three divinations for you at once and saw three scenes."

"One of the scenes shows you becoming the Family Head of the Cold Clan on Big Solitary Island; this prophecy indicates that the Cold Family on Big Solitary Island will still exist in the future, which means Big Solitary Island will definitely win this battle."

"As for whether the Black Dragon Pirate Group is annihilated in this battle or crippled and forced to flee, that is something I cannot know."

Hearing this, Leng Yan let out a long sigh of relief, joy appearing on her face, and her worries from the past several days were finally put to rest.

"Then what is the second prophecy?" Leng Yan asked impatiently.

All the other crew members also displayed looks of curiosity.

"The second prophecy is a scene of you fighting at sea; that time period should be a thousand years later, and at that time, your appearance will be exactly the same as it is now."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone on the ship revealed strange brilliance in their eyes, turning their gazes together toward Leng Yan.

Although this sentence was not long, it exposed a great deal of information.

First, the fact that she can live for over a thousand years means she faces no life-threatening danger within that millennium, so being by her side must be very safe.

Furthermore, since her lifespan is so long, she will basically be a Gu King in the future.

Moreover, the fact that her appearance a thousand years later is exactly the same as now indicates that she found the Face-Keeping Fruit during this trip to Sky Island, thereby preserving her youth forever.

This is truly a very favorable lot.

Leng Yan immediately beamed with joy; it must be known that her personality is aloof and cold, and she rarely smiles.

This was also the first time Long Xuan had seen her smile, so he could not help but look at her a bit longer; indeed, she looked quite pretty when smiling, worthy of being the number one beauty of Star Sea City.

"Then what is the third prophecy?" Leng Yan asked impatiently again.

"The third prophecy is not so good; it is that you secretly love someone, but lack the fate to be together, and end up growing old in loneliness," Wu Yaoyao said, watching her cautiously.

The other crew members also looked at her with strange expressions, revealing teasing looks.

Hearing this, Leng Yan's face instantly darkened, and she hurriedly said, "This prophecy must be wrong; I have no interest in men, so how could I secretly love another man? Men will only affect the speed of my cultivation!"

Wu Yaoyao was already accustomed to others' doubts and said, "Perhaps; who can say for certain what will happen in the future?"

At this point, all the other crew members developed considerable interest in divination, so after Leng Yan's divination ended, they one by one rushed forward to have their fortunes told.

Wu Yaoyao naturally refused no one, her face blooming with smiles.

Long Xuan also watched curiously from the side.

The second person to go up for prophecy was the festive-looking Young Master Mo, who clamored to squeeze to the front for divination, outpacing everyone else.

His first prophecy was that he wrote a novel that became a bestseller across the world, causing his fame to soar.

His second prophecy was that he became the Family Head of the Mo Family in Star Sea City, with the scene showing him wearing a frown of worry.

The third divination was a scene of him fighting a Sea Monster at sea, and the ship he was riding was the Divine Dragon Ship.

To Long Xuan, these three prophecies were all ordinary predictions, nothing worthy of special attention.

Since Wu Yaoyao had a limited number of divinations per day, able to perform only nine daily, and six had already been used...

... Wu Yaoyao decided that to accommodate more people, everyone would henceforth receive only one divination each, leaving three people with the opportunity for divination.

The third person to go up for divination was the most lively Ye Qingluan; her prophecy was raising a giant whale as large as an island, sailing aimlessly across the great sea together with the Divine Dragon Ship.

It was a very ordinary prophecy, nothing worthy of special attention.

The fourth person to go up for divination was the cutest girl on the ship, Miao Peipei; her prophecy was that after returning home, she would be beaten by both parents simultaneously, with her buttocks beaten into a bloom by her mother.

Miao Peipei's face instantly turned crimson with shame on the spot, and she covered her face and ran far away.

Yet another ordinary prophecy, nothing worthy of special attention.

The last person to go up for divination was Qiu Tiandao, and his prophecy was quite worthy of attention.

This was because one of his future scenes actually showed him engaging in a duel with a Sea Dragon at sea, ultimately succeeding in slaying this Sea Dragon.

This fully indicated that his combat power in the future would be terrifying; reaching Gu King Peak was a certainty, and he would be a rare existence with combat power unmatched among peers of the same realm.

It must be known that even if ten Gu King Peak experts attacked together, they would still find it difficult to defeat a single Sea Dragon.

At this moment, the way all the crew members on the ship looked at him changed, and Qiu Tiandao wore an expression of great pride on his face.

Thus, Wu Yaoyao's quota of divinations for today was completely exhausted; if the rest of the crew still wished to have their fortunes told, they would have to wait until tomorrow.

The crowd on the ship could only retreat in disappointment.

Only Long Xuan remained standing in place, lost in thought; for some reason, he couldn't shake the feeling that every single one of Wu Yaoyao's divinations was true, that her prophecies were one hundred percent accurate?

During the subsequent voyage, Long Xuan returned to his shut-in lifestyle, retreating to his bedroom to grind out the Liver Gu Formula, rarely emerging.

He would only come out to get some fresh air and direct the crew in battle when the ship encountered danger.

However, the sea region they were currently traversing was not the Forbidden Sea, but an ordinary sea region with a high safety rating, so the frequency with which they encountered danger was not high.

It was usually just a matter of something boarding the ship or something chasing the vessel; many times, he had barely stepped out the door before the crew had easily dealt with the Sea Beast, after which the mess hall would serve an extra course, satisfying his appetite during his leisure time.

Up to this point, the large vegetable garden that Miao Peipei had carefully tended within the Heart of the Ocean had already taken shape, capable of supplying unlimited fruits and vegetables for the crew to consume, with no need to economize as they had before.

Time flew by, and five months passed in the blink of an eye.

Within these five months, Long Xuan had finally deduced the Heaven-Devouring World Toad's Gu Formula from 80% to 100%, but this also generated an additional list of one hundred thousand materials to collect, leaving him utterly exhausted.

He was either collecting materials or on the road to collect materials; he was busy to death.

Among these one hundred thousand materials were many Top Grade Spirit Insects, which were not easy to obtain; Long Xuan could only turn to the big rich woman on the ship, deciding to fleece her once again.

Ordinary people did not possess Top Grade Spirit Insects, and even if they did, they wouldn't have many; only this Di Xin had a hoard of various types of Top Grade Spirit Insects.

She was the one who had stripped the Xuanyue Empire's Guo Ku bare; one must never underestimate her collection of Top Grade Spirit Insects, for she carried resources equivalent to at least an entire nation on her person.

Long Xuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion and feel fortunate that this Di Xin had accidentally boarded the ship; otherwise, he truly wouldn't have known where to go to collect so many Top Grade Spirit Insects.

He knocked on the door, and upon hearing a "Come in" from within, Long Xuan finally pushed the door open, entered, and closed it behind him.

Di Xin did not look up at the visitor; she was studying a huge map on the table, her brows tightly furrowed as if facing an immense difficulty.

Long Xuan walked over and glanced at the map, the corners of his mouth immediately twitching uncontrollably.

Good heavens, this was actually a distribution map of the major powers in Central Earth.

She hadn't even set foot in Central Earth yet, and she was already plotting against the treasuries of the various tribes there.

Was she courting death again? Central Earth was the strongest among the Western Regions Thirty-Six Lands, nothing like the places they had lived before.

Central Earth was one of the five great centers of the Gu World, a Holy Land for Gu Cultivators, and the place where Gu Cultivators were most concentrated.

There, Gu Cultivators were as numerous as the sea, the land was blessed with talented people, and countless strong Monsters abounded; how could the powers there be so easily targeted?

The difficulty of stirring up trouble in Central Earth was a hundred times greater than in the Western Lands; these two places were simply incomparable, and causing trouble here would truly cost one's life.

Long Xuan's expression changed slightly, and he finally couldn't resist saying, "You're going to stir up trouble again? Take my advice: your Cultivation Realm is simply too low; that is not a place you can target."

Di Xin finally lifted her head to look at him, saying in a calm tone, "You need not advise me; I must go to the Teng Family in Central Earth; I have reasons that leave me no choice."

"As a mere Mortal Body, the fact that I can cultivate is already acting against Heaven; ordinary Realm-Breaking Pills are useless to me."

"But the Teng Family possesses a Heaven Grade Spirit Medicine called the Earth Spirit Fruit Tree, which bears a fruit called the Earth Spirit Fruit; eating an Earth Spirit Fruit raw can increase the probability of breaking through to the Spirit Sea Stage by forty percent."

"Few Realm-Breaking Pills can achieve a forty percent breakthrough rate; this fruit is far too important to me. Only this fruit might enable my breakthrough, and I will pay any price to obtain it."

"This may be my only chance; I have no other choice. If I do not risk everything, I will be stuck forever at the Cultivation Stage: Essence Refining, with no possibility of ever breaking through."

"Gu Cultivators at the Marrow Cleansing stage have short lifespans, barely two hundred years; seeking stability is merely allowing myself to die a slow death."

Di Xin's gaze shifted toward the distance outside the window, her eyes deep and profound.
