Chapter 249

As one of the imperial protectors of the Tang Dynasty, his cultivation was merely one step away from the Supreme Mythical Realm.

Yet, what truly commanded respect was not his cultivation, but his divination and numerology!

If National Teacher Yuan Tiangang was a master in this field, then his divination and numerology were even superior!

He stood alongside Lord Donghuang of the Qin Dynasty, the Lotus Living Buddha of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and the Mud Bodhisattva of Yunzhou as the Four Great Masters of Divination!

To say he could "judge yin and yang, sever the five elements, behold the sun and moon in the palm, peer into heavenly fate, foretell human destiny, and hold the cosmos within his sleeve" would be an understatement!

In all the world today, beings he could not calculate were exceedingly rare!

He was an indispensable pillar of the Tang Dynasty!!

Heavenly Dao evaluation: Martial expert, Master of Divination!

Heavenly Dao reward: Xuan Ling Turtle Shell (assists the possessor in unraveling heavenly fate)

Nine Provinces Combat Power Ceiling List — (tied) 38th place: Lord Donghuang, cultivation: Peak Human Realm!

Identity: Leader of the Yin-Yang School of the Qin Dynasty.

As a top-tier expert renowned across the Nine Provinces.

After his divination of the Qinglong Society's Great Dragon Head Ximen Wudi backfired, his cultivation should have stagnated.

But due to his ranking on the list, he received the Heavenly Dao reward: Lian Wuhen Revival Pill.

After ingesting the pill, not only did his cultivation fully recover, but he shattered and rebuilt himself, advancing further than ever before, reaching the Peak Human Realm!

He was now merely one step away from the Supreme Mythical Realm.

Heavenly Dao evaluation: Shattered and rebuilt, Mythical Realm imminent!

Heavenly Dao reward: Spirit-Communicating Coin (assists the possessor in unraveling heavenly fate).

142 — Eight others remain outside heavenly fate! (Request self-subscription)

Silence!

Quiet!

Extremely quiet!

As the content of the Heavenly Dao Golden List ceased to manifest.

The Nine Provinces instantly plunged into absolute silence!

Even though the golden list's phenomenon had vanished.

Yet the people could not help but widen their eyes, their faces filled with shock and dread!

Although Lord Donghuang had appeared on the list once before.

They still could not suppress their astonishment!

Immediately after,

As if realizing something,

They all broke into cold sweats.

According to the Heavenly Dao Golden List's implication,

Aside from a few beings with terrifying cultivation,

Would not nearly all of the Nine Provinces' people have no secrets before Yuan Shoucheng and the others?!

Especially after the Heavenly Dao rewards of the Xuan Ling Turtle Shell and the Spirit-Communicating Coin.

Did even the most deeply cultivated beings have no secrets left?

Thinking of this,

For a moment,

All people of the Nine Provinces turned pale.

Even those with formidable cultivation

Now wore expressions of shock and uncertainty.

Their eyes glimmered with deep thought.

Regardless of whether one was a master or not,

One trait was nearly universal:

That is,

Anyone who is human must have secrets they dare not reveal!

And these were often their weakest points!

If Lord Donghuang and Yuan Shoucheng could truly calculate these secrets,

Then wouldn't everyone's vulnerabilities lie in their hands?

If the powers behind them wished to act against them,

Could they not simply use these secrets to coerce or bribe them?!!

Upon this realization,

A sense of peril arose in the hearts of all people of the Nine Provinces.

Yet, restrained by the terrifying might of the imperial houses,

They dared not openly speak of it.

But to pretend it never happened left them deeply uneasy.

They were utterly torn.

Qin, Xianyanggong.

"It seems your divination art may advance further."

"Yet I wonder — with your current abilities, can you calculate the information of the Qinglong Society's Great Dragon Head?"

He raised his eyes and took in the contents of the Heaven's Golden List.

Ying Zheng turned his head with a smile to look behind him.

The only thing that displeased him was

the ranking of Lord Donghuang Taiyi.

In previous lists, he had at least been in the middle tier.

But now, look at this.

He had dropped straight to the lower tier.

No!

It should be last place!

This instantly made him feel utterly humiliated.

More importantly,

from this one point, it could be deduced that

across the Nine Provinces, whether the Qinglong Society, the other two imperial dynasties, or Yunzhou,

there were no shortage of top-tier experts!

And each one surpassed Lord Donghuang Taiyi even further!!

Fortunately, this time the Heaven's rewards were still decent.

At the very least, they would elevate his divination art to a higher level.

For Yu Daqin, this was far more practical than adding another top expert!

After all, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles without danger.

"This..."

Lord Donghuang Taiyi was left speechless.

"What? Is there a problem?"

Ying Zheng furrowed his brows slightly.

"Your Majesty, though the four of us can divine the affairs of the world, eight others are not included."

Upon hearing this, Lord Donghuang Taiyi could not help but let out a bitter laugh.

"Oh? Who are they, exactly?"

Upon hearing these words.
