Chapter 563: Let Me Test You
"Heh, a joke. You bring out an Upper Grade Dharma Artifact, the Jade Slip Nine Songs, the moment you start, and you cast the Five Elements Gold Locking Array with a mere thought. At your age, unless you were trained by a master, could it be that you are self-taught?" Wu Xuan laughed.
"That is not the case. I naturally had some fortuitous encounters, but it is true that I have no master." Chen Yu smiled. Even though Wu Xuan was a master who understood the Esoteric Sect's Yin and Yang, if he were told about such things as inheritance, he probably would not be able to accept it.
"Kid, I misjudged you before. When it comes to the Mystic Gate's Strange Arts, I am inferior to Li Qing." Wu Xuan heavily thumped his cane on the ground: "But I can see your fate and calculate the good and bad fortune of your life. If you can surpass me in this aspect, I will submit to you."
"Oh, calculating fate is indeed something not everyone can compare to. Very well, then take a look at what my fate is actually like." Chen Yu watched Wu Xuan with interest.
Wu Xuan let out a cold snort. He raised his head and looked straight at Chen Yu.
Chen Yu could not see what the eyes behind his sunglasses were like, but Chen Yu could clearly feel a massive amount of Mind Power rushing toward him.
This old man was actually gifted with a unique talent, possessing a pair of eyes different from ordinary people. His eyes could see a person's fate and calculate the fortune of that person's past and future.
The old man stared fixedly at Chen Yu. He counted the string of Jade beads in his hand, his movements becoming faster and faster, and his consumption of Mind Power growing greater and greater.
However, the more he looked, the more shocked Wu Xuan's expression became. After staring at Chen Yu for a full five minutes, faint beads of sweat had already seeped out on his forehead.
"Are you not done yet?" Chen Yu stared at Wu Xuan. He suddenly smiled: "If you really cannot see it, then do not force it. You were born with strange pupils, but if you use these Nether Pupils too much, you will truly go blind."
"You..." The old man suddenly raised his head, his expression shocked. Suddenly, he let out a muffled groan, retreated several steps, and sat down on the sofa behind him with a thud.
Clatter—the sunglasses he was wearing on his eyes suddenly shattered, and two streaks of blood flowed out from his eyes.
"Wu Lao, are you alright?" Wei Hongye was startled.
"Why, why can I not see your fate?" Wu Xuan looked shocked, his eyes bleeding.
He wore a pair of sunglasses whenever he appeared, so everyone thought he was blind, but only now did Wei Hongye see his eyes.
They were a pair of eyes without pupils, the white eyeballs slightly rolled upward, looking extremely terrifying.
"Old man, a word of warning: not everyone's fate can be looked at so casually." Chen Yu smiled, his smile somewhat bitter.
The Purple Star Emperor Fate was grafted onto him by his grandfather, Chen Tiansheng, who defied the Heavenly Dao to do so, allowing him to successfully awaken this fate.
What exactly this fate referred to, Chen Yu himself did not understand. This old man was born with strange pupils and relied on his eyes to calculate a person's entire life's fortune.
But he could not see through his own fate because it was the Purple Star Emperor Fate. If this old man kept looking, he would inevitably become a blind man for real.
"Who are you? Who exactly are you?" Wu Xuan tremblingly took out a pair of sunglasses from the bag behind him and put them back on, but the expression with which he looked at Chen Yu was already one of shock.
"Who am I? I am not even clear on that myself." Chen Yu smiled: "But you were born with strange pupils; by recklessly using your strange pupils to calculate people's fates, are you not afraid of bearing the endless evil consequences of the Heavenly Dao?"
"My affairs are none of your concern." Wu Xuan was enraged. He had an extremely high status and position, and being gifted with a unique talent, he was used to being sought after, so naturally, he could not listen to Chen Yu's words.
"I know you are not convinced, and I am indeed not proficient in the study of physiognomy, but I can still calculate your background." Chen Yu smiled: "But are you sure you want me to say it?"
"I do not believe it. Speak." Wu Xuan was indeed unconvinced; he did not believe Chen Yu could calculate his background.
"You were born with strange pupils. When you were born, the water in the village well turned blood-red, and after birth, because of your strange pupils, you were seen as an omen of misfortune and were abandoned." Chen Yu pushed his Mental Power to the limit and activated the Xuanwei Life Divination Method to forcibly deduce Wu Xuan's life appearance.
"You..." Wu Xuan's expression changed drastically. His hands began to tremble uncontrollably. He felt a wisp of Purple Qi around Chen Yu and could not help but blurt out: "Xuanwei Life Divination Method?"
"Observing a trace of fierce, wild aura on your body, this is a sign of having lived among beasts, is it not? If I am not mistaken, after you were abandoned, you were carried away by a wild beast and have lived with wild beasts ever since?"
Wu Xuan's old face turned pale. He trembled: "Stop talking, shut up, do not say any more."
Chen Yu's words stirred up his childhood memories.
His childhood was extremely miserable. Because he was born with strange pupils and an ominous omen occurred in the entire village at his birth, he was abandoned by his biological parents.
In the icy, snowy Northeast, he should have frozen to death, but fortunately, a wolf discovered him. Strangely, the wolf did not eat him but brought him back to the wolf den.
From then on, he fed on wolf milk, and after growing up, he hunted and lived with the wolves until the age of ten, when a wandering Mystic Gate practitioner discovered him.
This practitioner discovered he was born with strange pupils and could see through a person's fate, so he taught him Metaphysics. After coming down from the mountain at twenty, relying on his pair of strange pupils and the knowledge he learned from that practitioner, he quickly became famous in all directions and became a master of his time.
"Your pair of strange pupils, which claim to be able to see a person's past and future, combined with your study of Yin-Yang Metaphysics, quickly allowed you to rank among the masters." Chen Yu took a deep breath and put away the Xuanwei Life Divination Method: "But have you ever thought that by leaking Heavenly Mystery like this, you will inevitably suffer Heavenly Retribution?"
Wu Xuan stood blankly and said nothing. He was over sixty years old this year; his wife and two sons and one daughter had all died in accidents, leaving only him. If this was not Heavenly Retribution, then what was it?
"Take care of yourself." Chen Yu let out a cold snort: "Your wife and children all lost their lives; they were actually blocking the karmic consequences caused by your leaking of Heavenly Mystery. With them gone, it will soon be your turn."
Wu Xuan shuddered. His face, which was overly aged from leaking too much Heavenly Mystery, was full of fear.
"You understand the Xuanwei Life Divination Method, and your fate is unique. You, you must have a way to help me. I beg you, please help me." Wu Xuan pleaded bitterly.
The scene before them left even Wei Hongye unable to react. When they first came in, Wu Xuan was putting on airs with his nose in the air.
However, this could not be blamed on him. He was a master, so no matter where he went, he had to maintain that high-and-mighty image.
But no one expected that in the blink of an eye, his master image would vanish completely, and this guy would be groveling at Chen Yu's feet, crying and begging for mercy.
"I cannot help you. The karmic consequences you planted yourself are too deep. Your great fortune will also come to a complete end at the age of sixty-six." Chen Yu shook his head: "Your later years will be very desolate. Be prepared."
"Great fortune ends at sixty-six? I, I will be sixty-six the day after tomorrow. Fellow Daoist, I beg you, you must help me, you must help me." Wu Xuan no longer cared about his master image and pleaded bitterly.
He only now discovered Chen Yu's uniqueness, but unfortunately, it was a bit too late, and he knew in his heart how much Heavenly Mystery he had leaked over these years.
In the previous few calamities, his wife and four children blocked them for him; otherwise, he would never have lived past forty. But now he was a lone man with no relatives or friends around him at all. This calamity, he feared, no one would block for him.
"Take him, take him out." Ye Qinglong could not watch anymore. Honestly, he did not sympathize with this old man. He had enjoyed himself for decades, and his own wife and children had all died because of the karmic consequences he planted.
Now that it had come to this, what was he still bitterly pleading for?
Immediately, several Ye Family bodyguards walked into the room, grabbed him, and carried him out. Only then did the room become quiet.
Until now, Li Qing, who had been standing in one place constantly breaking the arrays Chen Yu had casually set up, finally showed a look of joy. He pinched a finger incantation and stepped on the ground.
With a hum, the array that had trapped him for so long was finally broken. His eyes brightened, and he returned to the real world.
It was just that breaking the array had consumed a large amount of his energy, so now that he had broken the array, his whole body slumped to one side, gasping for air, and he did not recover for a long while.
"Fellow Daoist Li, are you alright?" Wei Hongye hurriedly reached out to support Li Qing.
"I, I am fine." Li Qing gasped for air, looking at Chen Yu with a face full of horror. He realized that today he had encountered a true master.
